Abstract
A Roman couch in Cambridge
R V Nicholls
1 - 32
The couch, provenance unknown, is one of a group predominantly from N central Italy, with some examples from early Imperial W provinces. A detailed reconstruction is suggested for the bone and iron components of legs, frame, and fulcra. Hellenistic and Etruscan influence is evident and three craftsmen were involved. The sculpture is formed of a series of laminations, and templates seem to have been used for some leg components. Other couches from the group are listed and a date of late 1st century BC or 1st AD is suggested for the Cambridge example. A T
Observations on Chapter V.31, Britannia, in the Ravenna Cosmography
Louis Dillemann
61 - 73
Detailed analysis of the text, in the light of other parts of the Cosmography which indicate the compiler's sources and methods, paying particular attention to matters of palaeography, and making numerous suggestions countering those of Richmond and Crawford's 1949 paper.
The Norman church and door at Stillingfleet, North Yorkshire
Peter V Addyman
Ian H Goodall
75 - 105
Detailed study in advance of conservation work on the door, and associated research on the church itself, suggests that both door and doorway are of 12th century date, although the decorative ironwork can be paralleled in the Anglo-Saxon period. Specialist contributions treat the timber of the door, the architecture and historical background of the church, and the ironwork (C-shaped hinges, lattice pattern, figures and tree, ship, interlocked cross, the whole forming a rare piece of folk art).
The medieval sculpture of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin
107 - 122
Early Norman church building in Ireland after the invasion (1169) was an extension of an English style, while native architecture in western Ireland remained conservatively Hiberno-Romanesque. Most Irish Cathedrals are 13th century. Only the choir and transepts of Christ Church, Dublin (c 1186-1200) show earlier Norman work. The capitals there were carved by a number of masons (one actually documented) from the Severn Valley area. Links with Wells (later), Glastonbury and Malmesbury are shown by the figure sculpture and to a lesser extent by stiff leaf foliage. These carvings are isolated examples of an English style. More influential for Ireland were capitals with heads and foliage in the Christ Church nave (c 1216-30) which are close to Droitwich and Overbury. P H
Notes on Castle Acre, the Castle and Priory, and Thetford Castle and Priory

A technical note on some of the armour of King Henry VIII and his contemporaries
A R Williams
157 - 165
Describes the results of a programme to compare the metallographic properties of Henry VIII's fine armours made at Greenwich with those made abroad for him. Twenty specimens were examined. Most were steel with carbon content of 0.5-0.8 per cent, ie ideal for hardening; but though some had been fully hardened and tempered as early as 1490, others had been only partially hardened by slack-quenching and others were merely air-cooled. The evidence suggests that the S German armourers were well in advance of their contemporaries; whether Greenwich ever caught up is not yet known.
