The Care of Ancient Monuments
The eminent art historian Gerard Baldwin Brown (1849–1932) held, for fifty years, the first Chair in the History of Art in Britain at the University of Edinburgh. He published on a wide range of art and architecture; his major work was the six-volume Arts in Early England (1903–1937). His interest in the wider social context of art was reflected in his concern for the preservation of ancient monuments for the public. It was after the publication …
Roman Engineering Works and their Aesthetic Character
Many years ago it was the fortune of the writer to be present as a listener at a conversation between the architect, Sir Rowand Anderson, then at the height of his reputation, and a civil engineer of good standing in his profession. The Tay Bridge was the subject, and Sir Rowand was trying to make his interlocutor see that the existing bridge lacked one little touch, the addition of which would be of incalculable value but the absence of which ma…
The Lechmere Stone
In the house of Sir Edmund Lechmere, known as Severn End, near Hanley Castle, Worcestershire, there has been preserved for a long time past the interesting Saxon funereal stone, which, through the owner's kindness, I am permitted to make known to readers of the Antiquaries Journal . Many have seen and admired it, but it has not yet been published. Its history is unknown except in so far as its presence at Severn End goes back beyond any memories …
Saxon and Norman Sculpture in Durham
When one phase of decorative art for reasons historical, social, or religious, passes out of existence and is succeeded W by another, there generally occurs what is technically termed an ' overlap '. This is so common that it is often accepted without consideration as universal, and the expression ' Saxo-Norman overlap' is employed with reference to architecture of early twelfth century where it has validity, but also to decorative sculpture wher…

The Hartlepool Tombstones, and the Relations between Celtic and Teutonic Art in the Early Christian Period
A series of small stone monuments found for the most part at Hartlepool in Durham, and commonly known as the Hartlepool Tombstones strongly resemble certain monuments of similar character in Ireland. They are Northumbrian in date and location, although at the time they were made Northumbria included eastern Scotland up to the Forth. A group of nine stones were found at different times in the first half of the 19th century during the disturbance o…
Was the Anglo-Saxon an Artist
Observers of British national idiosyncrasies will have noted that many of our countrymen fall unconsciously into the pose of the ancient Romans, who affected to despise the practice of the fine arts, and deemed it more dignified to pay the foreigner, the ' hungry Greekling ' of Juvenal, to produce for them whatever in this line might be desired.These people ignore the possibility of any effective artistic operations on the part of the British bor…
Notes on a Necklace of Glass Beads found in a Cist in Dalmeny Park, South Queensferry
A west-east aligned long cist constructed from sandstone slabs contained teeth and a dozen glass beads. The possibility that the burial demonstrated Anglian influence is considered and in the main discounted
