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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Crosses and Lychgates To obtain a sufficiently representative series there has been no occasion to go beyond the confines of England and Wales. Within those limits a very large number of types is to be found, every one of which is illustrated in the following pages. I do not pretend to have treated the subject exhaustively, but I do claim that never before has so manifold a range of crosses been depicted within the compass ofa single volume; nor has so systematic an analysis and classification of the various types of crosses, tracing the course of their historic evolution, been attempted by any previous writer in the English language. My classification, based solely upon the study of anatomical form and structure, is original, and presents the subject in an entirely new aspect.

Download or read book The Crosses of Monmouthshire Classic Reprint written by Elizabeth Harcourt Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crosses of Monmouthshire The crosses of Monmouthshire are neither so numerous as those of Cornwall, nor so beautiful as the best examjjles in Glamorganshire and Gloucestershire, yet they possess an interest of their own and in the study of their remains nuich may be learnt and luucli is to be admired.1 have divided this W(jrk into two portions; the first contains all the churchyard crosses I have been able to discover, the latter the wayside crosses I have succeeded to the best of my ability in identifying. In the part containing the wayside crosses it is probable that there are some inaccuracies owing to the lapse of time and the death of )ersons acquainted with local traditions. In nearly every case the site of each cross has been pei-sonally visited, and in some of the churchyards tlie base of the cross has been dug out of the turf. In the ten rural deaneries of the Archdeaconry of Monmouth there exist remains of seventy-nine churchyard crosses. These are very unequally distributed, the ancient and agricultural deaneries having a great many: the modern and manufacturing ones, such as Abergavenny Blaenau Gwent, very few. Some of the bases, shafts, and remains are extremely handsome: notably Mitchel Troy, Bettws Ncwydd, Raglan, Bedwas, and Undy. Some of them are little more than square stones, or a piece of turf marking the site. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Conservation of Building and Decorative Stone written by F G Dimes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-11-02 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the problems which beset the practical conservation of stone buildings is the fragmentation of the disciplines involved. This book, with both volumes now available as one invaluable paperback, brings these disciplines together by the involvement of contributors with different experiences and approaches to the same material. Part one is an introduction to the complexities and background history of stone conservation followed by the most comprehensive description yet produced of the building and decorative stones used in the British Isles. In part two, practitioners involved in stone conservation describe ways in which major structural masonry problems, secondary building problems and different stone surface conditions may be treated. A variety of building types and environments has been used to ensure that the broad scope of common problems is covered. This second part of the book will be of practical value to art historians, archaeologists, architects, surveyors and engineers, masonry contractors and sculpture conservators in solving problems and in learning to use each other's skills and experience.
