The Dating of Early Masonry Churches in Scotland
John Potter classifies blocks of masonry by the way they are carved, identifying a Patterned or pre-Norman style and a Norman one. He then dates the buildings he examines to one or other of the two periods, allowing no overlap or continued use of the old style in the early part of the new one. This article illustrates the effect of allowing an overlap, with special reference to St Margaret’s Chapel and Restenneth church

The Eastern Parts of the Anglo-Saxon Church of St Wystan at Repton
St Wystan’s at Repton is one of the most important churches of the Anglo-Saxon period because of its royal connections, the extent and character of its surviving Anglo-Saxon fabric and the historical puzzles it presents. Our understanding of the building has been transformed by the investigations undertaken by Harold Taylor, Martin Biddle and Birthe Kjølbye-Biddle. The paper begins with a brief summary of the evidence discovered and the conclusio…
Der Plan von St Gallen
The ninth-century plan of a monastery conserved at St Gallen in Switzerland is the only object of its kind to survive from a period of more than 800 years. This, along with its quality and detail, makes it an object of great importance in the history of monasticism and architecture as well as for the techniques used in its creation. No one has contributed more to our understanding of this last aspect than Norbert Stachura, especially through his …

History and Architectural History
The term ‘history’ is confusingly ambiguous, not least in being identified both as the study of the whole of the past and only that part of the past accessible through the written record. This has an effect on those historical disciplines such as architectural history in which the study of the material evidence is inseparable from that of the documents. The paper examines how the use of texts in the study of objects can both casually mislead and …

Anglo-Saxon Lengths and the Evidence of the Buildings
THIS SURVEY of recent research on measurements of Anglo-Saxon buildings reviews three papers in this volume, and also a paper by Peter Kidson which relates medieval metrology to that of the Roman Empire. It concludes that the English foot may have a much more ancient origin than previously supposed

Early church architecture in Scotland

The Romanesque Church of Waltham Abbey
Archaeological analysis of the fabric suggests that the nave of the Romanesque church was built from east to west in the usual way and not, as the current literature proposes, from west to east. This conclusion has implications for the iconography of the architecture in that various features in the two eastern bays of the nave can be assessed, not as pure decoration, but as liturgical markers for the position of the nave altar. Comparative study …

Anglo-Saxon Lengths
This paper attempts to demonstrate four things: (1) There is no adequate documentary basis for Petrie's ‘Northern’ system of lengths. (2) We do not know of any system into which Anglo-Saxon lengths were organized. (3) The perch of 5.03 m is the only Anglo-Saxon unit of which the length is known. (4) There is insufficient evidence to support the view that the Drusian foot of 33.3 cm was widely used by the Germanic tribes in general or in Anglo-Sax…
The Greek Metrological Relief in Oxford
The demeanour of the figure represented on the Greek metrological relief in the Ashmolean Museum indicates that it must have been made before the Athenian decree regulating weights and measures, variously dated between 449 and 420 B.C. All the dimensions of the slab imply the use of a cubit of 52·3 cm, the length of the Egyptian royal cubit which in a Greek context suggests a provenance on Samos. Finally, the slab was not used for the practical p…

V.—Enclosed Apses and Edward's Church at Westminster
In the volume of Archaeologia for 1910 the Reverend J. A. Robinson published a detailed plan of the Confessor's church at Westminster, illustrating the excavations of 1866, 1909, and 1910 which uncovered three fragmentary bases and some 7 ft. of curved wall to the east of them (fig. 1). On these he based his reconstruction of the choir (fig. 2), giving it two bays, solid walls cutting off the side aisles, and a semicircular apse. The larger size …
