Inhaltsangabe
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1849 Excerpt: ...Lysons' Magna 1 Macullock. Britannia, the Gentleman's Magazine, the Archaeological Journal, &c. The following are references to a few of the more interesting ones. Those engraved in Mr. Chambers's fine work on the Sculptured Monuments of Angus. Several from Cornwall, engraved in Archaeological Journal, vol. iv. p. 302 to 313. Interesting one at Penrith, Archaeologia, vol. ii. Three in Whalley churchyard, Yorkshire, Whittaker's History of Whalley. The pillar-stone was first modified into the sepulchral cross; the next modification, which took place perhaps a century before the Norman Conquest, was into what is usually called the head-cross. This is a stone from one to three feet high, and of different shapes, placed upright at the head of the grave, and sometimes accompanied by a smaller stone at the foot of the grave. These head-crosses appear to have come into use (as has been said) about A.D. 950. Where the dead was buried in a stone coffin, its lid formed his monument; these headstones seem to have been placed over the grave in cases where a coffin of wood or lead, or no coffin at all, was used. They continued in use until the Reformation, soon after which they were again modified into the tall, square, ugly stones, which now crowd and disfigure our churchyards. Few ancient examples of head-stones remain, but from those which we have, we see that they are divided into several distinct kinds. First the stone itself is cut into the form of a cross of more or less elaborate design, as in the example from Glendalough, Plate Lxxvi.; from Lancaster, Plate Lxxviii.; and that from Camboe chapel, Northumberland, given in the margin; and Handborough, Oxfordshire, Plate ixxxi. This kind is susceptible of an infinite variety of forms, and is perhaps the most bea...
