What is the Hedda Stone
This curious object is AngloSaxan carving. Pretty unique. But what does it represent. It lurks in Peterborough cathedral.

This is 100% a guess (i've not been to Peterborough Cathedral since I was about 6 and I don't remember it!), but there are 6 guys with halos:-
Assuming there are another 6 guys on the other side, could they be the 12 Apostles? (Presumably with St Matthias instead of Judas)

It may be as early as 570AD.
Though recent research suggests it’s much later 870AD
Various claims have been made. Again the most recent is it depicts twelve monks who were slaughtered.
Who know?
Much older than Peterborough cathedral though.

I haven't noticed it. Next time I'm in town I shall have to take a look.
