This highly illustrated book serves as both a Guide to
the surviving work of the Herefordshire School, and provides a history of the
school itself.
Professor Thurlby compares the surviving work, both in
stone and in other materials, in Herefordshire, Gloucestershire,
Worcestershire and beyond, with that of other styles both at home and
abroad—Celtic motifs, Romano-British and Anglo-Saxon work, as well as
sculpture in France and Spain.
The Herefordshire School of Romanesque Sculpture
brings together the people behind the work, both patrons and carvers, with the
architectural and sculptural styles in an easily readable form that will
appeal to the specialist and general reader alike.
