Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The paper presents an examination of stone emplacement which indicates that, contrary to the belief that the first stone ecclesiastical buildings in Scotland date from the earliest-twelfth century, English Saxon-style craftsmanship is evident in a number of early Scottish churches. It is suggested that, as in England, pre-Norman Conquest masons in Scotland chose to emplace many of their stones, in structures like quoins and jambs, with the bedding orientated vertically. The recognition of the existence of pre-twelfth-century stone churches in Scotland is consistent with the prevalence of other forms of early Christian stoneworking in that period. | ||
