About 400 Anglo-Scandinavian stone sculptures were erected between 876 and 1066 CE. This surge in new sculptures suggested that the Danelaw's population was growing and becoming wealthier. Some of these sculptures were engraved with both Christian and heathen symbols; for example, this cross features both a crucified Christ and intricate pagan patterns. This could mean that Christian and pagan beliefs were becoming more and more woven together in Anglo-Scandinavian society.
