I th n read a paper on Stratton Church and Village Cross at a meeti ng of the Dorset Natural History and w ft sa a Antiquarian Field Club, hich a erward ppe red . x vi of i sw a w in vol its Proceed ng , ith vie to g iving e publicity to the matt r. Since then I have made the old stone crosses of a and a m Dorset a study, and very interesting bsorbing has the e e of a one it proved to be, and at urg nt requ st “ 7 of now several influential members the club, I put the information acquired at the service of the members ofthe Club and others who take an interest a e m in these ncient ston s. I have had considerable difficulty in deciding on e of e the arrangem nt the several d scriptive articles . w s so connected ith these crosses. Dor et is not rich in as f w w c old crosses the counties urther est, into hi h V w w r t they ere introduced, ith Ch is ianity, at a much r a ea lier d te . s of x -one The remain si ty crosses only , in some “ cas fa to es mere r gments, are all I have been able discover in this county . In the county of Somerset f w Mr. Pooley tells us he has ound over t o hundred to describe and delineate ; and in Devon and Cornwall of there are the remains a much larger number, many of n e f very a cient dat , some be ore the Saxon and a s rse f Norman er s, wherea in Do t I have only ound of the one, viz that at Todbere, the Saxon period, remainder being mostly erected in the fourteenth and fif teenth centuries . h s f for conveni I have t ought it be t, there ore, the e of a to fa f nce my re ders and cilitate re erence , to arrange the descriptive articles relating to these crosses in alphabetical order rather than in order of e w w dat , hich some ould consider the more correct a rrangement . The reader m ay think t hat in some instances the descriptions have been somewhat encum bered by s e t a l he a of mea ur men s and det i , but may be ssured the accuracy of these as well asof the other parts of as the descriptive matter, I have personally i ak v sited almost every stone described , and t en wn the measurements with my o hand .

It has been somewhat difficult to locate the remains of the many stone crosses scattered up and down a w the county, but I venture to think th t, ith the n of seson o exceptio cros t mbs and monumental slabs , ss are e s and church gable cro es, which so num rou that I cou ld not include them in a work of this i size, none have been om tted . n and t I have to tha k the clergy , gentry, o hers in for n the county , the ready and able assista ce they have and rendered me in my work , the courtesy with which they have responded to my sometimes trouble i ofw f e some inqu ries, to many hom I have re err d in a my descriptive articles , and I h rdly think they vii 6 ld ih i m h h re wou w s the r na es repeated ere .

A Report by Anthony Gilbert 73 EDITORIAL The Club has enjoyed yet another fruitful year with seven talks, five of them being given by Club members, our Members’ Own evening and the annual cheese and wine party that followed the AGM. Once again the numismatic content of the talks was very widely spread. We heard about the almost ‘odd ball’ provincial coinage of Roman Egypt, Graeco-Roman in style and denomination, often with ancient Egypt reverse types, the product of a country that was not a proper Roman province but more the Emperor’s private fiefdom. A major contribution was on the almost legendary Brussels hoard, often spoken of in awe as being held in Baldwin’s basement until some brave and knowledgeable soul could face examining it in detail and publishing it. The Club was entranced to hear the full story of the hoard and the subsequent work on it that led to a definitive publication.

This report will be used as part of the evidence base in the production of the Council’s Core Strategy. 1.3 This supporting document aims to generate options for the identification of sustainable settlements. These towns and villages will be the focus for future development and will be shown with a settlement boundary in the Council’s Core Strategy. 1.4 This report serves as only a part of the evidence base which will inform the production of the Council’s Core Strategy. Full stakeholder and community consultation will be undertaken, following the statutory requirements of the ‘new’ planning system, and the corporate objectives of the Council, in order that the final decisions made by the Council are fully informed by the views of the District’s communities.

  • The Iconography of the Hunterston Brooch and Related Early Medieval Material

    The Iconography of the Hunterston Brooch and Related Early Medieval Material

    Proc SocICONOGRAPHY Antiq Scot 141 OF(2011), THE 231–248 HUNTERSTON BROOCH AND RELATED EARLY MEDIEVAL MATERIAL | 231 The iconography of the Hunterston brooch and related early medieval material Alice Blackwell* ABSTRACT This paper highlights a new aspect of the design and iconographical programme of the Hunterston brooch. Animals embedded in the form of the brooch terminals flank the cross panel, and are interpreted as a motif rooted in the Canticle of Habakkuk’s assertion that Christ would be recognised between two living things. This Old Testament text was given wide meaning by early Christian thinkers, encompassing the central concept of the recognition, the ‘knowing’, of Christ and thus can be regarded as a fundamentally important subject for expression. Visual expressions of this theme are more prevalent than has been recognised, and occur in different variations across media. Objects that feature the motif include those usually identified as secular metalwork such as brooches, as well as church objects and Christian sculpture. Many expressions of the motif, including those on the Hunterston and ‘Tara’ brooches, do not feature figurative depictions of Christ. Instead – and in common with Pictish sculpture (but in contrast to Anglo-Saxon and Irish sculpture) – a symbol such as the cross or lozenge is used to represent Christ. It is suggested that the depiction of such a central Christian theme might lie behind the motivation to ‘close the gap’ between the terminals of the Hunterston and ‘Tara’ brooches. If so, this adaptation would provide a way to depict the motif which simultaneously maintained a visual link with the traditional brooch form whilst highlighting the ‘new’ Christian element precisely because it was what was added.

For a few centuries the emblem of Christ was a headless T-shaped Tau cross rather than a Latin cross. Elworthy considered this to originate from Pagan Druids who made Tau crosses of oak trees stripped of their branches, with two large limbs fastened at the top to represent a man's arm; this was Thau, or god. John Pearson, Bishop of Chester c. In which there was not only a straight and erected piece of Wood fixed in the Earth, but also a transverse Beam fastened unto that towards the top thereof". There are few extant examples of the cross in 2nd century Christian iconography. It has been argued that Christians were reluctant to use it as it depicts a purposely painful and gruesome method of public execution. The oldest extant depiction of the execution of Jesus in any medium seems to be the second-century or early third-century relief on a jasper gemstone meant for use as an amulet, which is now in the British Museum in London. It portrays a naked bearded man whose arms are tied at the wrists by short strips to the transom of a T-shaped cross. An inscription in Greek on the obverse contains an invocation of the redeeming crucified Christ.
