| Abstract: |
Paper on the tympanum reset inside the church of St Mary, Fownhope, a work of the Herefordshire School or School of the Welsh Marches. It is argued that it was almost certainly part of the twelfth-century church, of which the central tower remains in situ. The author discusses the imagery of the tympanum as a vision of heaven alluding to several important themes, and the suggestion that Augustinians or Victorines were involved in designing for the Herefordshire School. Comparisons are made with sculpture at Kilpeck; at St Nicholas's Church, Gloucester; at Elkstone, Gloucestershire; and at Rock, Worcestershire. |
