St. Mary's Priory Church, Abergavenny; early medieval alabaster tombs, St. John de Hasting and the Jesse Tree
Chichester Cathedral - two carvings, dated from 1000-1150 A.D. They are remarkable for the sensitive modelling of the heads and the emotion shown in the face of Jesus. They depict the arrival of Christ at Bethany (John 11:33-37) and the raising of Lazarus (John 11:38-47). They are said to have considerably influenced modern sculptors, Eric Gill and Henry Moore among them. Also the Arundel Tomb - extremely touching.

The Corpus of Romanesque Sculpture in Britain and Ireland (CRSBI) is an evolving electronic archive of British and Irish Romanesque stone sculpture. Romanesque sculpture marks a high point of artistic production in Britain and Ireland, corresponding to the boom in high-quality building that followed the Norman Conquest in 1066, and reflecting a new set of links with mainland Europe. A good deal of this sculpture remains in parish churches and cathedrals, houses and halls, castles and museums throughout these isles and the archive is worth searching prior to a visit to an area. e.g. Kilpeck (Herefordshire) and Chichester Cathedral (Sussex) images are fine and numerous.
