Description
Carved stone found in 2002 in the garage of No. 12 South Cliff, Cullercoats. It is fine grained sandstone, 41cm across and 11cm deep. In the shape of a flower, with a wheel-like pattern in the centre. The decoration is on both sides. There is a small hole in one of the straight arms for some sort of fixing. Probably a piece of window tracery or a finial from Tynemouth Priory.
