Abstract
The large sculpture of the crucifixion created at Rushton Hall, Northamptonshire, for Sir Thomas Tresham is a remarkable survival (Fig. 1). Sir Thomas was a highly controversial personality of the Elizabethan age, notorious as a leading Catholic dissenter against the Protestant religious settlement. Rushton Hall in Northamptonshire was his ancestral country seat. Religious imagery from the Elizabethan period is rare, but it is quite exceptional to find a surviving religious sculpture made for an English Catholic.
