Anglo-Saxon Name Stones

In Britain, stones with ancient letters are called "Name Stones" and not "Runestones" because they are smaller and are assumed to just list names.

Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture

(April 17, 2024) While many are in Latin a few seem to be runic. The following is a quote from their website:

The Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture identifies, records and publishes in a consistent format, English sculpture dating from the 7th to the 11th centuries. Much of this material was previously unpublished, and is of crucial importance in helping identify the earliest settlements and artistic achievements of the early medieval and Pre-Norman English. The Corpus documents the earliest Christian field monuments from free-standing carved crosses and innovative decorative elements, to grave-markers.

SCA Lecture: Dr Christina Cowart-Smith, Sculpting Lindisfarne's Story by Church Archaeology

(April 17, 2024) Christina's talk looked into the form and context of new sculpture fragments found during eight seasons of excavation on Holy Island, Northumberland. Particular attention was given to the way in which they fitted into the wider corpus of Anglo-Saxon stone sculpture. Christina originally studied Classics at Stanford University before completing a MLitt on Medieval Scottish History at Glasgow Univeristy and an MA in Early Medieval Archaeology at Durham University. She has recently completed her PhD, entitled Crossing Britian: The British 'High' Cross in Context and Development, AD 600-1100.
