Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture, XIV, Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire

Paul Everson, David Stocker

Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Sculpture, XIV, Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire surveys the counties of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire with a substantial catalogue of all known pre-Conquest stone sculpture, illustrated by high-quality photographs, maps, and interpretive drawings. A series of introductory chapters explore such topics as the history of previous scholarship, the geological and historical background, plus a detailed analysis of the new information afforded by these major survivals of Anglo-Saxon art and archaeology. Stocker and Everson conclude that the great majority of stone sculpture from these two counties belongs to the final century of Anglo-Saxon England, during which period they were rapidly expanding ecclesiastical societies, and deeply influenced by the great monasteries of Peterborough and Ely. The quantity of eleventh-century material permits an analysis of the impact of the Norman conquest on aspects of social, ecclesiastical, and cultural life, which is a running theme through the narrative.
