"This is a long - awaited and magnificent addition to the now almost - complete Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture ... this book is a tremendous achievement that does credit to the scholars involved, and the Corpus team as a whole." -- Victoria Thompson Whitworth, Early Medieval Europe

"Overall, this book is a tremendous achievement that does credit to the scholars involved, and the Corpus team as a whole." -- Victoria Thompson Whitworth, Early Medieval Europe

"All of the Corpus volumes are collaborative productions to some degree, butthat is very much in evidence here, with important contributions from Barbara Yorke on the Anglo-Saxon history of the region and a chapter by Martin Biddleon the Repton sculptures which covers the still-debated history of St Wystan'schurch." -- John Hines, MEDIUM ÆVUM

"There is much useful material here, not least the discussions of the Historical Background (Barbara Yorke), Anglian Period Sculpture (Hawkes) and Scandinavian Period Sculpture (Sidebottom)." -- Blaise Vyner
