Summary

Description

Barely-visible engraving, possibly of a consecration cross, on the exterior SW corner of the 15-16th century tower of St Roberts Church, Pannal, North Yorkshire, England. The engraving is about 3ft or 1 metre from the ground.

The small engraving is in the centre of the image. It could once have represented a flower (Tudor rose?) or a Plantagenet fleur de lis. Alternatively the "petals" could be the raised gaps between the deeply engraved curved arms of a consecration cross of the Trinitarian or Canterbury design. At a church consecration in the UK, the bishop traditionally anoints the exterior corners of the church with chrism. These corners are sometimes then marked with consecration crosses.
