Scene Description: Source caption: "[...] Hogback Stone detail, Brompton Church. The rear of three hogback stones cemented into the floor of the church. Dating back to the Anglo - Danish period (7th to 11th century) these are thought to be grave covers. All show muzzled bears at each end. Eleven hogbacks, some just fragments, were discovered when the 14th century chancel was rebuilt in 1867. These three plus two fragments are inside the church; the other six are in Durham." -- the hogbacks are now inside the church

Font Notes:
There are two entries for this Brompton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SE3796/brompton/] [accessed 5 March 2018], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it]. Glynne's 18 April 1864 visit reports: "The font is a circular bowl." The Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 1, 1914) notes: "There was a chapel at Brompton at a very early date, possibly before the Conquest. [...] In 1386 it was dependent upon the church of Northallerton and so continued. [...] At the suppression of chantries this chapel was certified as being used in all things as a parish church, the incumbent being found and paid by the vicar of Northallerton. [...] Brompton was separated from the mother church and constituted a distinct benefice under an Order in Council dated 1843. [..] The earliest work in the present structure probably dates from the 12th century, but it is clear from the evidence of 11th-century stones found that there was an earlier church on the site. The south walls of the nave and the chancel are probably on the lines of the earlier church [...] The font and other furniture are all of modern date."
