Mapping Gazeley chancel roof carvings

Sarah Cassell

• “The following tables map the roof carvings as follows: centre (E-W), north (E-W) and south (E-W). “
• “The north and south carvings are mapped in rows, from upper to lowest.”
• “There are 8 fully visible rows to north and south, plus ninth rows of carvings largely hidden by the cornices. “
• “The rows alternate between a) rows of 11 cusped lozenges (CL) carved in low relief, with demi-lozenges (DL) at the east and west ends and b) rows 11.5 carved cusped lozenges interspersed with 11 smaller bosses (B).”
• “Where figures are given in brackets, these refer to illustrations in “Men, Myths and Monsters”, Johnson, S,(Lazarus Publications NFP) 2021″
