The Corpus of ROMANESQUE SCULPTURE in Britain & Ireland
The Blessed Virgin and St Machar (medieval)
Cathedral church
A Romanesque impost block with chip-carving and a wheel-headed cross missing the lower original arm are preserved inside the former cathedral church. Along with other medieval stone fragments, they have been kept inside since at least 1906. In 2000, the cross head was repaired and mounted onto a modern shaft. It is presently (2020) sited in the south aisle of the church. The impost block is kept in a room above the S porch. Restoration work on the church was carried out in 1832, 1867-8, 1926-8,1965-73 and 1976-91. No Romanesque work is known to suvive within the existing fabric of the church.
