I assume it has been in the church since it was rediscovered in 1723, and is now on the wall of the chancel. As I said in the post I have not actually seen it.

Hidden to protect it, yet used as a step? ---buried face-down I suppose.<br /> I for one am absolutey intrigued and enthralled to find any such things that miraculously escaped the edwardine and elizabethan iconoclasm.<br /> When was it re-installed?
