A lovely surprise came from a neighbouring farmer yesterday. He arrived in his digger with two stones in the bucket which he’d had in safe keeping in his barn for nigh on 20 years! We think they’re two of the missing stones from the ledge around the left hand arch, and they have a beautiful curve and taper. Gary, the stonemason, was delighted to look over them. I wonder what other treasures will emerge over the coming months while the repairs and archaeology are taking place?
