    * OUT NOW *

    Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture, Volume IX, Cheshire and Lancashire. By Richard Bailey. With contributions by C. Roger Bristow, Derek Craig, Ken Jukes, John Dixon, David N. Parsons and Ross Trench-Jellicoe.

    xiv + 522 pages, 743 black & white plates, 20 figures, 4 tables. Published for the British Academy by Oxford University Press 2010 (available February 2011) ISBN 978-0-19-726462-1, Price £70.00 hardback

    This volume provides a full analytical catalogue of all known pre-Norman sculpture from this region. As little documentary evidence survives from the area, the sculpture is vital to understanding the early development of the Church, the shifting relationships between communities, and the ways in which political affiliations gave access to a variety of cultural centers across England, Ireland, mainland Europe and Scandinavia. Among the significant carvings are the crosses at Sandbach with their elaborate figural sculpture and the delicate carvings from Halton and Hornby in the Lune valley. Much of the work is of the 10th- and 11th-century Viking period, and shows an intriguing mixture of Scandinavian-derived motifs alongside Christian iconography. Introductory chapters set the material within its historical, topographical and art-historical context.

    Yes John it might very well be the library for me. By the way, have you been squashed by a capstone, or were you just taking shelter ? Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture, Volume IX, Cheshire and Lancashire.  * OUT NOW * 2896762703

    In the photo I am just emerging from my winter quarters on the hill by Jeppe Knave Grave. To sleep indoors in the winter months is a rash and foolhardy act, much better the old Lancashire ways.

    Sounds truly superb John! welldone Though a bit beyond my price-bracket at the mo. I'll certainly give it my attention in the coming weeks - assuming our local library gets a copy.

    All the best - Paul
