Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The church at Bishop Wilton, East Riding of Yorkshire, is a 'Sykes church', rebuilt and restored in 1858-59 in Gothic style: only the south doorway and chancel arch have sculpture of twelfth-century date, though some chancel windows probably contain original stonework. Despite the amount of new carving evident in the doorway and chancel arch, there are reasons for believing that the restoration was a cautious one, and that what is now seen reproduces, unusually faithfully, the original state of these archways. This being so, an interpretation of the sculptural programmes of both doorway and chancel arch has been attempted. The manor and church belonged to the Archbishop of York, and the plentiful patterns and motifs suggest an eclectic 'Yorkshire School' context that echoes his wide contacts in the region; there are parallels at Healaugh, Barton-le-Street, Riccall, Stillingfleet and elsewhere. It is suggested that the theme of the doorway, with its combination of moral teaching and a vision of 'the appearing of Jesus Christ', was taken from the First Epistle of Peter. | ||||||||
