CHURCH OF ST JOHN THE BAPTIST, STANWICK ST JOHN, NORTH YORKSHIRE [Ancient carved stones]

The Church of St John the Baptist, the parish church, which dates from the 13th century, although large sections of it were rebuilt during a major restoration in 1867–8. The remains of a 9th-century cross-shaft in the tower and several carved stones set into the walls suggest that an earlier building may have occupied the site. Its location within an unusual circular churchyard also hints at a possible pre-Christian site.
