First Time

During survey and recording work undertaken by the authors for the Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture project in Lincolnshire between 1984 and 1991, over 375 stones were analysed and some hundred or so new discoveries are reported in the final publication. The most important conclusions drawn by the volume relate to the identification, for the first time, of groups of Anglo-Scandinavian funerary monuments and to conclusions regarding political and ecclesiastical affiliations which can be drawn from their distribution patterns. This note seeks to bring to wider attention, however, a single find of greater importance to art-historical studies of the late Anglo-Saxon period, and one which stands to one side of our more general conclusions regarding Anglo-Scandinavian politics and religion in the East Midlands.

Stone Sculpture

The Welshman Edward Lhuyd (?1659/60–1709), Keeper of the Ashmolean Museum, was a naturalist, philologist and antiquarian. He wrote the Welsh additions to Camden's Britannia (1695) and undertook extensive research for an Archaeologia Britannica. He was part of the scientific revolution centred on the Royal Society and was influenced by the flowering of Anglo-Saxon studies in late seventeenth-century Oxford. Although many of his papers were destroyed, sufficient evidence survives to assess his methodology for recording early medieval antiquities – particularly inscribed stones and stone sculpture in Wales and other Celtic areas – as well as his analysis of them. His legacy is of considerable importance and he may be regarded as the founding father of early medieval Celtic archaeology.
