Abstract

The five carved reliefs of ca. 1080-1090 that were recently found in Canterbury are related in style and carving technique to the famous crypt capitals in Canterbury Cathedral. They are the only known local precursors of the crypt capitals and as such are of considerable importance to the study of English medieval art. They may originally have been used in an architectural context such as a frieze, although their unweathered condition and the shape of one block suggest that they formed part of a choir screen.
