At
some time, possibly in the early eleventh centvury a deal was done and
the saint's remains were translated to Cropredy and no doubt displayed
in an elaborate shrine. The Rev. Canon Wood writing in the article 'The
Forgotten Saint' in The Antiquary xxviii 1894 p. 247 said of St.
Fremund's tomb, 'All traces of the shrine that might be identified with
any certainty have long since disappeared in the clean sweep of such
sculptures in this fine old church. A crocketed pinnacle from a tomb
carved in Purbeck marble remains in a room above the vestry...'
and yes it was still there although personally I believe it to be
a fragment from an earlier cross above the east gable end. A local
informant suggested it might have been knocked off by the fire brigade
in a war time incident in which case the Canon's fragment remains to be
discovered.
