There is a full photographic record of each monument which includes many new illustrations. \n\nThe volume complements Corpus Volume III (York and Eastern Yorkshire) and Volume VI (Northen Yorkshire). It volume will be an indispensable research tool both for students of the early English church, and for all those interested in the relationship between artistic styles and the successive waves of settlement in England.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History of art: Byzantine \u0026amp; Medieval art c 500 CE to c 1400 [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of art: Byzantine \u0026amp; Medieval art c 500 CE to c 1400\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20art:%20Byzantine%20\u0026amp;%20Medieval%20art%20c%20500%20CE%20to%20c%201400%20%5BACK%5D%22\"\u003eACK\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52253134422296,"sku":"9780197264256","price":89.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780197264256.jpg?v=1781271970","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/corpus-of-anglo-saxon-stone-sculpture-volume-viii-western-yorkshire-hardback-9780197264256","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
