Abstract:		 Three papers and associated appendices are of archaeological interest. E Gilbert (81-113) discusses the literary and archaeological evidence for the church built by Wilfrid and his successors, suggesting that the crypt is an early Christian type to which a western entrance was subsequently added. Partly underground, this crypt stood in a nave, with wall passages, which was later enlarged by Acca. The building had a transept and the surviving apse was part of a two-staged sanctuary. The paper includes consideration of churches at Peterborough, Repton and Ripon. In an examination of Hexham's pre-Norman sculpture (115-40) R J Cramp discusses the function of the architectural fragments and identifies late Roman elements in their decoration. In treating "Acca's cross" and associated vine-scrolls in Northumbria it is suggested that the original source for this motif is Middle Eastern, perhaps in some metalwork form. Appendix II (172-9) lists all Anglo-Saxon sculpture from Hexham and in Appendix III (180-84) E Coatsworth examines two depictions of the crucifixion. R N Bailey (141-67) discusses pre-Norman metalwork associated with Hexham and gathers together surviving information about its discovery and subsequent ownership. Among other new interpretations it is shown that the bucket handle-attachment consists of a mask set over a small modelled quadruped closely paralleled on an escutcheon from Gausel (Norway). Appendix IV by H E Pagan (185-90) examines the 9th-century coins found in the bucket. R N B
