This is a comprehensive guide to the themes, origins, symbolism, variations and distribution of medieval church art in the British Isles. The book includes a short biography of all the saints along with accounts of relevant legends and associated attributes. The majority of images are taken from wood carvings, stone carvings, glass and paintings (mainly on wood) in cathedrals and parish churches and the book is designed as a reference work for all students of medieval life and culture, art, archaeology, architecture and history - as well as general readers.
