The sculpture of Cumberland, Westmorland and Lancashire North-of-th-Sands in the Viking period

Abstract

Volume 1 contains a study of the form and ornament of the crosses, slabs, hogbacks and grave-markers of the Viking period from the Cumbrian peninsular. The evidence which this material affords is examined in relation to the documentary and onomastic sources of the period. Volume 2 contains a description, accompanied by a bibliography, of all post-Roman, pre-Norman, sculpture from the area. Volume 3 contains photographs of the pre-Norman sculpture from Cumbria together with a selection of earlier drawings.
