Craig The Distribution of Pre-Norman Sculpture in South-West Scotland: provenance, ornament and regional groups Ph.D. 1992 This thesis provides a descriptive illustrated catalogue and discussion of the early medieval stone crosses and related sculpture found within the modern Dumfries and Galloway Region of South-West Scotland. A number of sculptural groups are defined, and the implications of the distribution of these analysed. It is shown that there is a sharp diversity across the region between groups of sculpture with purely local links, groups that cluster in limited areas but demonstrate affinities outside the region, and single elaborately decorated monuments that exist independently of any local tradition. The iconography of these stones, and the territorial implications of a number of groups of sculpture are considered. In the catalogues the context of discovery of each sculptured stone is examined, in order to identify potentially datable activity at specific sites. The evidence for the location of a number of well known monuments is established for the first time, and several previously accepted descriptions and provenances are shown to be mistaken. There are supplementary chapters on the administrative evidence for Hoddom and Whithorn. The lost sculpture from Hoddom is examined in detail, and a definitive illustrated catalogue of this material is provided. The major sculptured monument from this area, the Ruthwell cross, which has generally been discussed in isolation, is examined here in relation to the other sculpture in the region, whose interest has less frequently been recognised.

No quotation from it should be published without his prior written consent and information derived from it should be acknowledged.

    Dumfries and Galloway Council LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2 Whithorn Conservation Area Character Appraisal Draft Supplementary Guidance - January 2018 draft www.dumgal.gov.uk draft This conservation area character appraisal was first adopted as supplementary planning guidance to the Wigtown Local Plan. That plan has been replaced by the Local Development Plan (LDP) which is reviewed every 5 years. The conservation area character appraisal is considered by the Council to remain relevant and so will be readopted as Supplementary Guidance to LDP2. Policy HE2: Conservation Areas ties the conservation area character appraisal to LDP2. The policy reinforces the importance and value of conservation area character appraisal as the policy states that “The Council will support development proposals within or adjacent to a conservation area that preserves or enhances the character and appearance of the area and is consistent with any relevant conservation area appraisal and management plan.” draft Whithorn Conservation Area Appraisal Contents Whithorn Conservation Area Character Appraisal .......................................... 3 Introduction ..................................................................................................... 3 Background ...........................................................................................................................3 The Conservation Area .........................................................................................................3 The Character Appraisal .......................................................................................................3

Many people have between them provided hundreds or thousands of records and this publication would not have been possible without them. More particularly, before my recording from 1996 onwards, plant records have been collected and collated in three distinct periods since the nineteenth century by previous botanists working in Dumfriesshire. The first of these was George F. Scott- Elliot. He was an eminent explorer and botanist who edited the first and only Flora so far published for Dumfriesshire in 1896. His work was greatly aided by other contributing botanists probably most notably Mr J.T. Johnstone and Mr W. Stevens. The second was Humphrey Milne-Redhead who was a GP in Mainsriddle in Kircudbrightshire from 1947. He was both the vice county recorder for Bryophytes and for Higher Plants for all three Dumfries and Galloway vice counties! During his time the first systematic recording was stimulated by work for the first Atlas of the British Flora (1962). He published a checklist in 1971/72. The third period of recording was between 1975 and 1993 led by Stuart Martin and particularly Mary Martin after Stuart’s death. Mary in particular continued systematic recording and recorded for the monitoring scheme in 1987/88.

Wright, Chair Associate Professor Renée Trilling Associate Professor Robert W. Barrett Professor Emerita Marianne Kalinke ii ABSTRACT “Apostolic Discourse and Christian Identity in Anglo-Saxon Literature” argues that Anglo-Saxon religious writers used traditions about the apostles to inspire and interpret their peoples’ own missionary ambitions abroad, to represent England itself as a center of religious authority, and to articulate a particular conception of inspired authorship. This study traces the formation and adaptation of apostolic discourse (a shared but evolving language based on biblical and literary models) through a series of Latin and vernacular works including the letters of Boniface, the early vitae of the Anglo- Saxon missionary saints, the Old English poetry of Cynewulf, and the anonymous poem Andreas. This study demonstrates how Anglo-Saxon authors appropriated the experiences and the authority of the apostles to fashion Christian identities for members of the emerging English church in the seventh and eighth centuries, and for vernacular religious poets and their readers in the later Anglo-Saxon period. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am indebted to many people for their help and support throughout the duration of this dissertation project.
