Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roodscreens and Roodlofts, Vol. 1 of 2 These two volumes embody the result of some seven years' research and collection. For the first Part of the work, which is a historical essay on screenwork, from the earliest times down to the Post-Reformation period, Mr. Frederick Bligh Bond is responsible, and would wish it to be understood that his views of the origin of screenwork are not in all cases those held by his colleague, Dom Bede Camm. The essay in question is the fruit of several years' work, and incorporates in a complete and coherent form the substance of papers contributed to the Proceedings of the Saint Paul's Ecclesiological Society in 1903. and to the Journal of the R. I. B. A. in October, 1904, and October, 1905. In these essays the historical, or evolutionary, method of dealing with the subject was adopted, and the story of the use of screenwork in the English church throughout the Reformation and the Post-Reformation periods was first handled in this manner. Much new matter has been added in the present work, and the whole argument rendered clearer, and consolidated. Mr. Bligh Bond desires to remove a certain confusion which has arisen between the personality of himself and that of his friend and namesake, Mr. Francis Bond, who, by a curious coincidence was led to publish his work on "Screens and Galleries" whilst the present work was in the press. The two schemes are, of course, totally distinct, but present a curious parallel in their main features, which is heightened by the choice made of illustrations. Yet, except for the fact that Mr. Francis Bond has drawn material from the published essays above-mentioned (for which he has made very kind acknowledgment) the matter is one of pure coincidence. The theories as to the origin of the screens respectively held by the two exponents are, it need hardly be said, quite independent, and differ widely one from the other. The author of this essay desires to render his sincere thanks to Rev. F. E. Brightman, Mr. F. C. Eeles, and Dr. Cuthbert Atchley for having read his proofs and contributed many valuable notes, also to Mr. Francis Bond, who at a quite recent date has performed the Same friendly task.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roodscreens and Roodlofts, Vol. 2 of 2 Rector that the saints painted on his screen were many and various, but that was all he knew or cared about them. Still such indifference is nowadays luckily becoming rare. The present writer has met, as a rule, with the greatest kindness and assistance in his work from the parish clergy of Devon, assistance which must be gratefully acknowledged. Still it is felt that an attempt to identify and name the saints thus painted on so many screens will be useful and welcome to not a few. Devonshire is not the only county which boasts of these painted panels. In East Anglia and in Cornwall a notable feature Of the roodscreen was the series of saintly figures painted on the panels. This feature which gave to these English screens a notable similarity to the eastern iconostasis is not, however, by any means universal in Devon. Most of them are found in the district between Exeter and Totnes, though there are outlying examples in other parts Of the county. The number of screens which still remain with at least some portion of their ancient paintings intact is upwards Of forty. The object of this study, then, is to identify as far as possible the saints whose representations have thus come down to us from mediaval times, give some account of these holy personages and their emblems, and illustrate the paintings themselves, both by verbal description and by drawings and photographs. It was the writer's ambition to give one illustration of each saint who is to be found depicted on a Devon roodscreen, and though this ambition has not been fully realised, owing to the great difficulties in the way, he has nevertheless the satisfaction of giving a very large series of illustrations of these figures hitherto unpublished.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why were so many religious images and objects broken and damaged in the course of the Reformation? Margaret Aston's magisterial new book charts the conflicting imperatives of destruction and rebuilding throughout the English Reformation from the desecration of images, rails and screens to bells, organs and stained glass windows. She explores the motivations of those who smashed images of the crucifixion in stained glass windows and who pulled down crosses and defaced symbols of the Trinity. She shows that destruction was part of a methodology of religious revolution designed to change people as well as places and to forge in the long term new generations of new believers. Beyond blanked walls and whited windows were beliefs and minds impregnated by new modes of religious learning. Idol-breaking with its emphasis on the treacheries of images fundamentally transformed not only Anglican ways of worship but also of seeing, hearing and remembering.
