It also examines the location of rural church sites and the chronology of church creation in relation to the process of settlement nucleation, the topography of church sites and their possible reuse. A survey of almost 2000 rural medieval churches provides the basis for this study. Part I provides a broad context for the detailed consideration of the results of the survey and their significance. It summarises earlier church alignment studies and the issues that they raise; the practice of alignment more generally; studies of the rural church and its place in the landscape; and earlier studies of medieval rural settlement. Part II describes the survey methodology and its basic results, applies the results to the theories advanced in earlier studies and evaluates them in the light of this new evidence. Part III discusses and analyses two significant variations which have been uncovered: the clear pattern of spatial variation in church alignment between the east and the west of the country, and the fact that between two and three times as many churches were built on east-facing slopes as on west-facing slopes. Possible reasons for these variations are evaluated and discussed. It suggests that harvest dates may have been a factor in the decision to build a church and that churches appear to be aligned with sunrise at early harvest completions. It also examines the chronology of the adoption of church sites and the development of local burial in rural areas. The possible relationship between earlier pagan sites and church sites, as part of the process of “Christian substitution”, is discussed, particularly in relation to the use of east-facing slopes. It proposes that local burial sites were adopted in villages early in the settlement nucleation process and that these graveyards provided the sites for the later building of churches, resulting in a bias of churches on east-facing slopes as the middle-Saxon burial sites seem to have sought them out previously. iii CONTENTS Appendices v List of Figures vi Acknowledgements ix Glossary and Terminology x Abbreviations xiii General Introduction 1 PART ONE – CONTEXT Chapter 1 Historiography of church alignment studies 7 Chapter 2 The historical use of alignment 51 Chapter 3 Historiography of church location, church origin and rural settlement 69 PART TWO – SURVEY DESIGN AND BASIC RESULTS Chapter 4 Survey method and basic results 107 Chapter 5 Survey results applied to earlier theories 127 PART THREE – ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS Chapter 6 Variation in church alignment across the country 171 Chapter 7 Relationship between slope and church alignment 215 Chapter 8 Location of churches; adoption of local church sites; development of local burial; Christian substitution 233 PART FOUR – CONCLUSIONS Chapter 9 Conclusions 277 BIBLIOGRAPHY 283 APPENDICES (listed overleaf) 304 iv APPENDICES Appendix 1 Survey results and analysis of Victorian churches 304 Appendix 2 Table of weekly sunrise positions by latitude 324 Appendix 3 Example church survey sheet 325 Appendix 4 Values of magnetic declination 1999-2008 by county 327 Appendix 5 Additional church alignment tables 329 Appendix 6 Sunrise position calculation formulae 330 Appendix 7 Details and additional analysis of sloping sites 331 Appendix 8 Easter calculation formula and east/west Easter dates 336 Appendix 9 Calculations to establish possible Norfolk minster-church sites 337 Appendix 10 Harvest festival details 346 Appendix 11 Alignment of Norfolk Monastic sites 351 Appendix 12 Detailed tables of church alignment and slope 352 Appendix 13 Technical details of digital Norfolk topography analysis 357 Appendix 14 Details of the sites of abandoned Norfolk churches 358 Appendix 15 Site-specific assessment of churches in Norfolk built on sloping land 362 Appendix 16 Comparison of minster-church and other church sites 366 Appendix 17 Churchyard finds in Norfolk 368 Appendix 18 Excel Spreadsheets of: Medieval church survey data (alignments, church and church site measurements, sunrise azimuths) Harvest festival data Victorian church survey data CD inside rear cover v LIST OF FIGURES St Mary’s and St Lawrence’s.

    Ruben Suykerbuyk - 9789004433106 Downloaded from Brill.com10/09/2021 07:17:43PM via free access Chapter 1 The Cult of Saint Leonard at Zoutleeuw Saint Leonard’s Altarpiece In July 1476, the churchwardens of Zoutleeuw gathered in a tavern to discuss commissioning an altarpiece dedicated to Saint Leonard. After their meeting, they placed an order in Brussels, and the work was finished in March 1478. The churchwardens again travelled to Brussels to settle the payment, and the retable was shipped to Zoutleeuw via Mechelen.1 The subject and the style, as well as the presence of Brussels quality marks on both the sculpture and the case of the oldest retable preserved in the Zoutleeuw church today (fig. 8), confirm that it is the very same one that was commissioned in 1476.2 Saint Leonard, the Christian hero of the altarpiece, lived in Merovingian France around the year 500. His hagiography identi- fies his parents as courtiers to King Clovis and states that he had been baptized and instructed in Christian faith by Saint Remigius, archbishop of Reims. Leonard quickly won Clovis’ goodwill, and was granted many favors by him. Not only was he allowed to free the pris- oners he visited, he was also offered a bishopric. However, preferring solitude and prayer he refused the honor and instead went to live in a forest near Limoges, where he preached and worked miracles. One of these wonders involved the pregnant queen, who had joined her husband on a hunting party in the woods and was suddenly seized by labor pains. Leonard prayed on her behalf for safe delivery.

  • FURTHER THOUGHTS on the SYMBOLIC ORIENTATION of ST HELENA's CHURCH by R.W.E
    Rep. Lundy Field Soc. 45 FURTHER THOUGHTS ON THE SYMBOLIC ORIENTATION OF ST HELENA'S CHURCH By R.W.E. FARRAH 4, Railway Cottages, Long Marton, Appleby, Cumbria CA16 6BY INTRODUCTION The publication of my first paper (Farrah 1992) elicited a prompt response and a productive correspondence from Myrtle Temstrom (Temstrom 1993). This highlighted a number of errors in my original paper which were subsequently corrected and presented (Farrah 1994) together with an apology to Temstrom for assuming that her date for the consecration of the church, given in her book, A Lundy Album, was incorrect (Farrah 1992,82). This publication was in fact the first time the date of the consecration had. been corrected to June 17th. My sources for supposing the 7th June 1897 to be correct were a newspaper cutting of an account of the dedication of the church supplied by Joy Slocombe, Curator of the Ilfracombe Museum and taken from The 1/jracombe Chronicle, Loyd (1925,43), and an article on the 75th Anniversary Service in Vol.9 of the Illustrated Lundy News and Landmark Journal. With these various sources agreeing to 7th June 1897, I had wrongly assumed Temstrom's date to be incorrect. It seems likely, as Temstrom suggests, that the error first occurred in the 1/jracombe Chronicle, 'possibly by typographic ommission of a digit' (Temstrom 1993,56) and was then subsequently duplicated. With so many of the major reference works giving the incorrect date, it is an error which is likely to occur again, as indeed it has in one recently published book (Lamplugh 1993,75).

  • Presenting Archaeological Sites to the Public in Scotland
    Presenting Archaeological Sites to the Public in Scotland Steven M.Timoney Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of Archaeology, University of Glasgow, May 2008 Abstract This thesis is an exploration of the nature of archaeological sites presented to the public in Scotland through an analysis of five case studies. The project utilises qualitative in-depth in interviews, an approach that, although well recognised in other social sciences, has been little-used archaeology. For this project, semi-structured recorded interviews were undertaken with participants at the sites, which were subsequently transcribed and analysed using QSR NVivo software. This approach, the rationales behind using it, and benefits for research in public archaeology, will be discussed in detail. This will be followed by an in- depth analysis of the roles and significances of archaeology, the ways it influences and is influenced by perceptions of the past, and the values placed upon it. The essence of the thesis will then focus on the in-depth analysis of the case studies. Backgrounds will be given to each of the sites, providing a framework from which extracts of interviews will be used to elucidate on themes and ideas of participant discussions. This approach allows for the real, lived experiences of respondents to be relayed, and direct quotations will be used to provide a greater context for discussions. This will reflect a number of recurring themes, which developed during interviews, both within sites and across sites. The interviews will also reflect the individual roles and functions of archaeological sites for the public, and the often idiosyncratic nature of participant engagements with archaeology.

    Stowe Farm, Lincolnshire: A Multi-Period Archaeological Site in its Landscape By: Andrew John Hatton A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Department of Archaeology July 2019 Acknowledgments Firstly, I would like to thank my thesis supervisor, Doctor Robert Johnston, for his advice and guidance, and for his continued support in the course of this research. Special thanks also go to Professor Mike Parker – Pearson and to Professor Charly French for offering insightful comments. Thanks are due to the staff at Oxford Archaeology East, namely, Gillian Greer, David Brown and Katie Hutton for offering their valuable time during the digitisation of the Stowe Farm site plans. In Addition, I would like to thank Andrew Elliott who volunteered his time to complete the digitisation. Thanks also go to Wayne Granger and Jamie Homewood of University Centre Peterborough for their assistance during the reproduction of the illustrations for this research. Finally, I would like to thank staff at Lincolnshire County Council Historic Environment Record. I would like to dedicate this thesis to my wife, Dr Rebecca Casa. Summary Stowe Farm is located near West Deeping, Lincolnshire, in the Lower Welland Valley, a landscape characterised by the presence of many important archaeological sites discovered during past and more recent gravel extraction. Stowe Farm was one of the many projects instigated by extraction which prompted investigations between 1994 and 2000. However, the analysis of the site was not completed and disseminated. This MPhil project has collated the Stowe Farm archival material and completed the work that was started back in 1994, with the aim to produce a cohesive site narrative and offer further contribution to the characterisation and contextualisation of the rich archaeological landscape of the Lower Welland Valley.

  • 21 Years of Planning-Led Archaeology in Scotland – and 21 Years More?
    21 years of planning-led archaeology in Scotland – and 21 years more? Scottish archaeology has just celebrated a very significant anniversary – not the Battle of Bannockburn or any other historical event – but of 21 years since the introduction of planning guidance (NPPG5) in 1994. This might not sound very impressive at first glance, but it completely revolutionised the way in which the planning process ensures that the historic environment is treated sustainably. Developer-funded archaeological investigations became the norm, in line with the ‘polluter pays’ principle. This single step forward allowed us to gain access to highly significant information about people’s lives in Scotland from the very earliest times, by investigating the traces they have left for future generations to find. These traces are no longer destroyed without due thought or consideration, allowing development to be truly sustainable in terms of the historic environment. Excavation of one of six Roman burials found by CFA Archaeology Ltd, working for Dawn Construction Ltd on the site of the new Musselburgh Primary Health Care Centre. The site was close to the Inveresk Roman fort, and these burials were part of a cemetery associated with the fort in the 2nd century AD. All six of the burials found were men, and four of them had had their heads cut off after death, and placed out of position in the grave. Analysis shows that the men were from Britain and northern Europe, recruited by the Romans from tribes within their Empire and stationed in Inveresk (© CFA Archaeology Ltd) Developer funding Before NPPG5, there was no system in place to check for archaeological remains in advance of building works.
