Abstract:		 NZ 349070. Though there are literary references to Sockburn before the 10th century the sculpture from the ruined pre-Conquest church is not earlier than the Viking period. One of the hogbacks shows the story of Tyr and Fenrir. Such an interpretation is supported by eddaic depictions on two other carvings from the site, fragments of a hogback and of a shaft, showing the proffering of a drinking horn. Parallels on the Gotland stones suggest that these carvings reflect an heroic aristocratic cult at Sockburn associated with Odin. The interaction of pagan and Christian elements on carvings at Gosforth and Dynna (Norway) is also examined. R N B
