The Angel Stone which has been dated to the Saxon period (c.700 AD) by some experts is a small stone carving of a winged angel holding a scroll.

There is a Latin inscription on the stone which translates as "into thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit”. This calls to mind an inscription which might be found on a tomb. However, there is a note to the left of the stone which claims the stone was a decorative feature and not from a tomb.
