Abstract
The use of sedimentary 'marbles' for church monuments in pre-Reformation England
Sally F Badham
1 - 18
A variety of sedimentary ‘marbles' were used for carved effigies in the period up to the early 14th century and for other types of monument up to the Reformation and beyond. Tournai marble was an early high-status import. Purbeck marble from Dorset is the best known of our indigenous polishable limestones, but, there were also other stone types used in particular parts of the country. Frosterley marble has generally been regarded as being of equivalent importance in the north-east to Purbeck Marble, yet its employment was not extensive. Instead, the hitherto little-known Egglestone marble deserves that accolade.
The investigation of social identity in later Anglo-Saxon cemeteries
Elizabeth Craig
19 - 34
The integration of archaeological and osteological data in a bio-cultural analysis is a valuable means by which the expression of identity can be investigated in funerary practices. In this paper, a review of the application of bio-cultural methods to investigate gender, age thresholds, social status and lifestyle in later Anglo-Saxon funerary contexts is presented in order to highlight the variety and potential of such approaches
St Helen's Church, Skipwith, North Yorkshire
Richard A Hall
35 - 38
Investigations within and around the 11th-century tower have produced evidence for a previously unknown earlier structure. Although undated, associated sculpture and radiocarbon determinations suggest that it existed by the 8th/9th century. Later medieval remains include a remarkable concentration of grave covers, and fragments of alabaster altar pieces.

The contribution of dendrochronology to church archaeology
Martin C Bridge
43 - 49
Tree-ring dating has, over the past couple of decades, become an established methodology in determining dates for phases of construction in buildings and of individual artefacts in this country. Whilst its use goes back much further, the recent increase in activity is thanks largely to the efforts of organisations such as English Heritage, who have funded much of the work undertaken, particularly on ecclesiastical sites, usually as a part of grant funding for individual projects. It has also come about from a wider knowledge of the technique and its application through television and other media coverage, encouraging people in ivider study of their heritage.
Excavations at the church of All Saints Hovingham, Yorkshire
Tony Pacitto
Lorna Watts
51 - 60
Rescue recording by the late Tony Pacitto during two episodes of repair in 1977 and 1990 at All Saints Church Hovingham Yorkshire raised important questions about the church in the Anglian period and thereby contributed significantly to what is clearly a complex total history of the area.
Assessing heritage value and determining hte scope for change in closing and closed Anglican parish churches
David Baker
61 - 81
Information-gathering processes for the tasks of closing redundant parish churches and finding suitable new uses were devised by the former Advisory Board for Redundant Churches (ABRC) and commended to its successor body, the Statutory Advisory Committee of the Church of England’s Church Buildings Council (SAC) in 2008. They comprise two working documents, a Critical Information Summary which underpins an Informed Change Assessment, based upon an underlying set of Criteria for determining heritage value and the scope for change. These help tackle often difficult and sensitive issues by providing systematic expert advice that meets 21st century requirements for administrative transparency and accountability
