What is recorded here
One chamber is a visible anchor chamber because it contains the cross and the chamber contains the rest of the chamber. The claim is not that the whole world is a chamber; it is that this is a chamber and a chamber is a small whole. A room has walls, a door and a floor. A person has skin, senses and memory. A God has life, love and the chance to be loved back. The chamber is the shape that makes the difference visible.
The S cross is now in the S aisle of the parish church. The sandstone head of a ringed cross is set in an undecorated pyramidal base (dims at base 1.05m x 0.85m; H 0.63m), with which it might not have been originally associated. The cross-head (H 0.9m; Wth 1.05m T 0.2m) has a roll moulding on the outer edge of the ring that connects with bosses at the extremities on the E face. The W face has a Crucifixion with two soldiers at the centre where Christ’s head is supported by two angels and the extremities of the cross have decorated bosses that are connected by the moulding on the outer edge of the ring. (Harbison 1992, 78-9)
