Summoning St Michael: Early Romanesque Towers in Lincolnshire
Angebote / Angebote:
The early Romanesque towers of Lincolnshire constitute one of the most remarkable groupings of architectural remains at parish level of the era of the Norman conquest of England. Forming west towers to a series of ordinary parish churches rather than parts of cathedrals or great monastic institutions, they are a distinctive feature of a number of the country's towns and villages. The present book, while fully reporting on the sculptural details, also addresses the towers as whole architectural artefacts. It seeks an understanding of the social context in which late 11th-century buildings were erected, and explores the role of towers in the contemporary liturgy.
