The Hill of the Dragon
IN MARCH 2020, ARCHAEOLOGY SOUTH-EAST RECORDED what may be a rare example of a medieval wayside shrine, preserved in a railway cutting through St Catherine’s Hill in Guildford, Surrey. The hill is a pronounced topographical feature on an early river crossing at the intersection between two early long-distance routes. Anciently known as ‘The Hill of the Dragon’, it is identified as a regional meeting place for two of the early folk territories of …
The power of the past
The repurposing of earlier sites and monuments is an enduringly popular theme in early medieval archaeology, but in England it has attracted little interest among Late Saxon and early post‐Conquest studies. From the tenth century, however, an increasingly prevalent pattern is discernible of secular lords locating their power centres in relation to earlier features. A variety of evidence for such correlations is presented here, demonstrating reuse…
Where Power Lies
Toward the end of the first millennium ad , a burgeoning class of secular elites emerged throughout western Europe who developed local power centres to denote their prestige. Seigneurial investment was prioritised towards residences, as well as churches and chapels, the two elements often paired into single places in the landscape. In England, our understanding of these complexes is limited due to scant excavated evidence and skewed by the impact…
Churches in the Irish Landscape AD 400-1100
Laughton en le Morthen, South Yorkshire
Towards the end of the first millennium, a fundamental change in the fabric of Western European elite society occurred as families began to promote themselves not on the basis of kin-groups but of their personal wealth. Key to self-aggrandisement was the ownership of local power centres, into which aristocrats poured investment. In England, few of these magnate cores have been investigated archaeologically, and understanding relies on a small cor…
Magical House Protection
Material culture and consciousness
Archaeology has become good at using metaphors for the person-like properties of material culture, seeing objects as accruing life-histories and biographies. This paper seeks to further this debate by introducing an old concept – known as panpsychism – which has experienced a resurgence in modern physics. It holds that sentience is a universally distributed property of the material world, meaning that all matter must be, to some extent, conscious…
Capturing the Spirit of Singular Places
I am fortunate enough to spend my working life exploring many different buildings, from medieval manor houses to 20th century football stadia, as part of a development-led brief to record them for posterity. This provides the opportunity to access places that few members of the public (other than squatters and urban explorers) ever see. It also involves many hours picking round derelict hulks with the rain coursing down the walls. This work feeds…
A comparative assessment of structure from motion methods for archaeological research
Britons and Anglo-Saxons
St Mary's, Broughton, Lincolnshire
St Mary's Church, Broughton, Lincolnshire, incorporates an eleventh-century tower-nave church. A description of the tower was carried out in 2007 as part of an MA dissertation at the University of York. It is reproduced here, together with a consideration of the tower's significance as a high-status secular, as well as ecclesiastical, structure in the landscape of Late Anglo-Saxon Lindsey. It is concluded that the tower acted as the chapel of a t…
