Book Ancient and High Crosses of Cornwall

Download or read book Ancient and High Crosses of Cornwall written by Ann Preston-Jones and published by University of Exeter Press. This book was released on 2021-08-24 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Holyer an Gof Award 2022 (Leisure and Lifestyle) An illustrated guide to one hundred of the finest early Cornish stone crosses, dating from around AD 900 to 1300. These characteristic features of the Cornish landscape are splendid examples of their type, exhibiting a wide geographical spread and a certain weather-beaten beauty. The medieval stone crosses of Cornwall have long been objects of curiosity both for residents and visitors. This is the first ever accessible volume on the subject, combining detailed description and discussion of the crosses with information on access, colour images and suggestions for further reading. An approachable but academically rigorous work, it includes analysis of the decorative designs and sculptural techniques, accompanied by high-quality photographs which illustrate the subtleties of each cross, often hard to discern in situ. Ancient and High Crosses of Cornwall offers an ideal introduction for the general reader but will also prove essential to local historians, landscape historians, archaeologists and anyone working in the area of Cornish studies or connected with the Cornish diaspora.

Download or read book Old Cornish Crosses Classic Reprint written by Arthur G. Langdon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Cornish Crosses When, with ever-increasing interest, I was led, some twelve years ago, to commence making measured drawings of the Ancient Crosses of my native county, I had no intention of producing a book on the subject. I was already well acquainted with Mr. J. T. Blight's Ancient Crosses and Antiquities of Cornwall, ' and my original idea was to draw only those which he had omitted. My difficulties, however, soon commenced. In the first place, it was necessary to re-draw all the ornate examples, since, practically, none of the ornament upon them had been shown. Then there were the numerous districts unexplored by Mr. Blight; and, lastly, many crosses had been dis covered subsequent to the publication of his book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Crosses and Other Antiquities in the West of Cornwall The Cornish Britons remained separate and distinct from the Saxons down to the period of the Conquest, when their lands were appropriated by the Norman chiefs and it is probable that the public monuments remained undisturbed until later times, when frequent changes occurred in the proprietary of the soil.
