NO 4554 2139 A survey of stonemasons’ marks was undertaken over six days, 4 July – 25 October 2018, at the 12th-century church of St Athernase. Although some marks had been noted before, no full survey had ever been undertaken. The survey recorded 600 marks of 51 different masons. Three of the marks were of an obviously later date than the majority of the others. Also not noted before were two possible tally-sheets cut into two blocks of stone on the interior walls of the Sanctuary. Another previously unrecorded feature was a second probable dedication cross that had been added to by several circles and lines, possibly by a stonemason trying out a compass or new idea.
