St Andrews Nos. 19 to 26 are still imbedded in the west wall of the Cathedral as shown and as only the edges are visible, they cannot be completely described. No. 19 appears to be the shaft of a great cross, and the other stones may be either cross-slabs or cross-shafts. The dimensions of the exposed faces of the monuments are as follows:-

No. 19, 7 feet 11 inches by 11 inches

" 20, 11 " " 4 1/2 "

" 21, 1 foot, 11 " " 4 "

" 22, 1 " 7 " " 6 "

" 23, 1 " 9 " " 4 "

" 24, 2 feet " 4 "

" 25, 2 " " 4 "

" 26, 2 " 6 " " 6 "

As to ornament, No.19 is decorated with scroll foliage; No. 20, with diagonal key-pattern, double-beaded; Nos. 21, 23, 24, 25, and 26, with diagonal key-pattern; and No.22 with a plain panel.
