Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Pilaster-strips and long-and-short quoining in England are derived from Escomb-fashion jambs to which they are analogous in technique. They are indigenous and do not derive from continental sources. They are not purely decorative but helped both in the erection of rubble buildings and in protecting them from subsequent failure. The evidence of churches at Repton and Barnack in particular shows that both pilaster strips and long-and-short quoining occurred in pre-Viking contexts, and as early as pre-840, though they continued in use until close before the Norman conquest. Long-and-short quoins have a more widespread distribution than pilaster strips and were probably developed earlier. All churches with pilaster strips are listed (24) and an appendix discusses a group of coins from north-west Mercia, dated c 920, which show local familiarity with blind arcading and pilaster strips on towers.
