| Summary: | This book is a study of meaning in Anglo-Saxon sculpture, which the author approaches by offering a concentrated study of an unknown group of monuments from the small town of Sandbach. These consist of two stone crosses, which stand in the market place, and the fragments of three further shafts, together with a coped tombstone, which stand in the nearby parish churchyard. This book represents to all intents and purposes their first publication., Since it is at the same time both a detailed monograph and a general study, its range is very wide, and the author's ability to control the material is one of its impressive features. |
