This is the upper and middle parts of the cross shaft. On the north face there are a number of figures on this face. It is
suggested that these are the Apostles receiving the Holy Spirit in tongues of flame at Pentecost, New Testament, Acts 2:1.

the centre and Moses and Elijah on either side, New Testament, Matt. 17; Mark 9:2; Luke 9:29; John 1:14.
