Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The crypt built by Gregory the Great in Old St Peter's, Rome, is the earliest known example of a ring crypt and was probably developed ab initio. A revival of the type occurred towards the end of the 8th century in Rome and elsewhere on the continent. Examples of both curved and angular ring crypts at Werden, Steinbach, Soissons and Auxerre are discussed together with the crypt shown on the St Gall plan. The ring crypt was well understood by English builders though nothing survives to match the elaboration or the accomplished circulatory systems of the continent. Wilfrid's crypts at Hexham and Ripon are irregularly planned but the example at Brixworth is of the ring type and was built at the same time as the (?early 8th century) nave. Literary evidence suggests an even earlier ring crypt at Canterbury cathedral. The remains of a ring crypt with central chamber at Wing are also examined. Three appendices list examples on the continent whilst a fourth gives summary descriptions of English crypts at Cirencester, Deerhurst, Glastonbury, Repton, Sidbury and Winchester. R N B |
