taken inside where it can be seen in the north aisle. Latin inscription
translates: In the 1214th year from the Incarnation and the seventh year of the
Interdict, Innocent III holding the Apostolic See, Otto being Emperor in
Germany, Philip of France, John King of England and William King of Scotland,
this Cross was made. See John R.H. Moorman, Lanercost Priory, 1983, pp16-17.
