Title Llanveynoe Stone, Llanveynoe Church, Herefordshire, 1929
Description Black and white photograph of the Llanveynoe stone situated in the south wall of Llanveynoe church. St Beuno’s Church, Llanveynoe, Herefordshire. It has been dated to being 11th century. The picture was taken in 1929.

Cemented into the south wall of the church are two stones. One of these shows Christ crucified. He wears a tunic and his arms are out-stretched with his feet in a standing position, head leaning slightly to one side. Tiny holes or pock marks can be seen in the stone, suggesting that it could be part of a pre-Christian, pagan altar?
