Abstract
The Anglo-Saxon cathedral at York and the topography of the Anglian city
Christopher Norton
1 - 42
Topographical analysis of the medieval buildings around the Minster at York indicates that they preserve certain features of the pre-Conquest lay-out. The probable location of the Anglo-Saxon cathedral can be identified, along with other features of the early cathedral complex. A chronology of the development of the complex can be proposed, and this in turn sheds new light on the early development of Anglian York as a whole. Includes

Norwich Cathedral: a biography of the north transept
Roberta Gilchrist
107 - 136
Analysis of the north transept of Norwich Cathedral was prompted by archaeological recording of its northern external elevation. Detailed archaeological and petrological evidence is presented, together with historical and visual sources for the functions and form of the medieval and post-medieval north transept. A reconstruction of the Romanesque gable is presented, proposing a more elaborate treatment consistent with both the cathedral and castle at Norwich; it is shown that the two buildings were planned to share proportions of the elevation. The identification of Quarr stone in the primary build refines knowledge of the use, chronology and distribution of this stone. Evidence is considered for the repair programmes of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and attitudes to conservation and the organisation of building works. Includes

The Early Gothic church at Dundrennan Abbey
Stuart A Harrison
137 - 148
Study of the remains of the church at Dundrennan Abbey shows that it has been the subject of considerable restoration in the nineteenth century. The author argues that the previously accepted view that the building incorporates substantial parts of the fabric of a mid-twelfth-century church, which was largely remodelled in the late twelfth century, cannot be substantiated. The northern English Cistercian influences on the architecture have been confirmed as emanating from Roche and Kirkstead Abbeys but in particular from the abbey of Byland.
Rothesay Castle and the Stewarts
Reginald Pringle
149 - 169
The stone castle was probably begun in the first quarter of the thirteenth century by Alan, the king's steward, or his son, Walter. The castle was strengthened after 1266 by the addition of four rounded projecting towers and a gatehouse facing the sea. It played little part in the Wars of Independence from 1290 onwards. The marriage of Walter III Stewart with King Robert the Bruce's daughter, Marjorie, resulted in the Stewarts obtaining the throne in 1371. Both King Robert II (1371--90) and his son Robert III (1390--1406) spent time at Rothesay and carried out minor building works. James IV (1488--1513) also took an interest in it and began construction of the large residential gatehouse that was added on to the earlier gatehouse. In 1685 the castle was burnt by the Duke of Argyll and abandoned as a residence. In 1816--18 the second Marquess of Bute had the courtyard cleared, and in 1871--9 the third Marquess cleared the moat and engaged the architect William Burges to carry out restoration of the masonry. The gatehouse hall was also rebuilt in 1900.
John Lewyn of Durham: a North Country master mason of the 14th century
Malcolm J B Hislop
170 - 189
Examines the structural evidence for the claims made on behalf of the fourteenth-century master mason. It suggests that comparison of artistic detail has limited usefulness when attempting to identify his work. Buildings which bear little resemblance to one another superficially can nevertheless be shown to have significant mutuality of concept when studied in depth. A close examination of Lewyn's known works and contemporary buildings suggests that he was the dominant influence in the northern region during the later fourteenth century, and that he retained control of planning to a fine level whilst allowing his deputies varying degrees of independence in the execution of detail.
Lost, found and lost again?; The continuing enigma of the Gisborough Priory eff...
Sophie Oosterwijk
190 - 202
Notwithstanding its importance during the Middle Ages and the numerous high-status burials known to have taken place there, no monumental effigies from Gisborough Priory can now be identified. Confusion has been caused by the fact that the only fragment of a military effigy stored at the site until recently is known to have been found elsewhere. However two reports on excavations organised by the site owner in the 1860s suggest that the remains of two military effigies were discovered at Gisborough Priory; although the present whereabouts of these fragments are unknown, the descriptions given may allow one of these to be tentatively identified as that of William, fourth Lord Latimer, who died in 1381.
