Abstract/Summary
The importance of geology, stone emplacement and bedding orientation, in six churches in the area of Northamptonshire is examined. These churches, on architectural evidence, have long been recognised as having Anglo-Saxon origins. The examples reveal in all instances the typical Anglo-Saxon, ‘Patterned’ style, which includes the use of vertically-bedded stone orientation in definitive patterns. The detail of the stonework and its bedding orientation provides a significant and further means of identification for work of this period.
