 This calls the Saint Hardulph to whom Breedon was dedicated ""Hardulfus rex""—King Eardwulf—and states that he was buried at Breedon.A panelled stone structure in the church, carved with processions of bearded and robed figures under arches, seems to reproduce details found in the "Book of Cerne", a work associated with Bishop Æthelwold of Lichfield (818–830).The panels, which may originally have been the outer part of a sarcophagus built to hold the remains of a high status person such as Saint Hardulph, are dated by their similarity to the illustrations in the "Book of Cerne" to the first third of the ninth century.
