Shaft with damaged capital and moulded base with spur ornamentation
Springing stone. Attributed by C J P Cave to the cloister arcade of the Abbey, with chevron ornament on one side and a variation of egg and tongue on the other. The curves show a span of 3 feet for each arch.
The photos show the faces of the capitals (c.1130) from Hyde Abbey and displayed in the parish church of St Bartholomew, Hyde. St Bartholomew acted as the church for the laypeople of the Abbey and the parish during the period up to the dissolution of the Abbey in 1538. (copyright photographs courtesy of John Crook.)
