Abstract
The church of Saint John the Baptist, Reedham, Norfolk: the re-use of Roman materials in a secondary context
Edwin J Rose
1 - 8
Detailed examination of the constructional details of the church has produced evidence of the form of the eleventh- or twelfth-century church. Analysis of the stone used to build the later sections has not only confirmed its Roman date but has necessitated a reappraisal of the stone from Brancaster Roman fort. Taken with the amount of Roman tile used in the earliest church, it indicates a substantial Roman building in the vicinity.
Ryedale zoomorphic ornament and tenth-century Anglo-Scandinavian art
David A Walsh
9 - 35
The zoomorphic ornament of a group of sculptured crosses from Ryedale is here analysed in detail in terms of motif and style. Its Yorkshire context is defined and close parallels from Skaill, Orkney, and Kirk Braddan on the Isle of Man are discussed. Origins for various style and motif elements are sought in insular and Scandinavian art. It is concluded that a group of sculptures in Ryedale, exemplified by the Sinnington crosses, were produced in the second quarter of the tenth century during a period when Yorkshire was under strong Scandinavian influence and had close contact with the Irish Sea Province. The ornament of the crosses closely reflects Anglo-Scandinavian motifs and styles current in York and around the Irish Sea in this period. These Anglo-Scandinavian artistic developments reveal a complex assimilation of preceding English and Scandinavian artistic traditions and may have been a source for reciprocal influences on the arts in mainland Scandinavia. Following the abolition of Scandinavian kingship in York in AD~954, metropolitan art styles further developed, with prominently insular, particularly Mercian, rather than Scandinavian influences, while the sculpture of Ryedale became introverted and provincial with little evidence of further external influence.
Stone vaults in English parish churches in the Early Gothic and Decorated periods
Lawrence Hoey
36 - 51
This study surveys the circa sixty surviving buildings with vaults, the vast majority of which are to be found in the southern half of the country and particularly between Kent and Wiltshire. In spite of extensive parish church construction during this period in the Midlands and North there were very few vaults constructed there. Still more surprising was the finding that slightly more Romanesque rib-vaulted choirs survive than Gothic. In spite of the identification of rib vaults with Gothic style by most architectural historians it is clear that only a small minority of English parish church masons saw it that way.Those vaults that were built show a range of articulations and aesthetics. Early examples tend to follow French models, with separate shafts provided for all vault components and diagonally set capitals for diagonal ribs. In the early-thirteenth century, round capitals, corbelled vault shafts of triple or single form, and uniform arch mouldings for transverse and diagonal ribs are some of the formal features typical of great church architecture that predictably appear in parish church vaults. By the Decorated period vaults seem to have lost whatever modest popularity they had earlier in the century and disappear almost entirely while parish church designers concentrated on large window designs in airy-roofed spaces.

An early fourteenth-century oak screen from Winchester
Charles Tracy
52 - 56
Details early fourteenth-century miniature screenwork currently in the Light Division Chapel and previously overlooked, possibly due to British Army custodianship. They came from St Maurice's church, to the north of the cathedral. This paper suggests a Winchester Cathedral provenance, on the grounds of quality. Their original purpose is unclear, but may have been associated with a tomb.
Lodge farm, Kingston Lacy estate, Dorset
Martin Papworth
57 - 121
Refurbishment in 1986-89 occasioned survey work and excavation revealing post-holes and ditches containing IA pottery. Two lengths of ditch are interpreted as a deer park boundary. Ditch fill contained building debris of thirteenth--fifteenth-century date. A dump of fallow deer antlers within the north ditch filling was dated by radiocarbon to AD 1325-1415. A study of documentary sources shows Lodge Farm to be an important building within the hunting land of the medieval manor of Kingston Lacy, which was in the sixteenth--eighteenth centuries associated with rabbit farming.
A pair of Late Saxon strap-ends from Ipsden Heath, Oxfordshire
Arthur MacGregor
122 - 127
Reports the discovery of a pair of strap-ends fashioned from silver and having one large and one small inlaid panel of sheet gold with filigree ornament. There are detailed descriptions and results of x-ray fluorescence analysis.
The Covehithe pendant: a newly-discovered, Anglo-Saxon pendant of latticed reticulated glass
Jeremy Griffiths
128 - 132
Notes other examples of rare reticulated glass pendants -- from Sibertswold Down and Riseley/Horton Kirby -- prior to details of this example, whose Suffolk location extends the former distribution pattern. There is a catalogue detailing date, context, literature about and description of, all the examples.
