| This photograph of the South West corner of the Saxon Nave, shows well the link with Northumberland and Ledsham. | |

|
The corner stones [ Quoins ] are laid 'side alternate' a trait peculiar to Northumberland and Ledsham. These corner stones are still visible on the North West Corner. Not obvious on the photo are grooves in the corner stone closest to the Hymn books These grooves were formed before 1200ad, whilst it was still an outside wall. They are apparently where people sharpened their weapons, implements or tools
