This article examines the inscriptions associated with Odda's chapel, Deerhurst, in the light of a quantitative analysis of terminology in early medieval lapidary inscriptions in Rome, western Germany and Normandy, and in the Liber Pontificalis. It suggests that they were the first fruits of a campaign by Bishop Ealdred to revive the practice of installing correctly formulated dedicatory inscriptions in churches in England, but that the campaign petered out as a result of the Norman Conquest
