The Church

So little of this picturesque and interesting Byzantine church and monastery unfortunately is left standing that the measured drawings and photographs reproduced on Plates XIV.—XVII, will perhaps serve as the best form of description. Mr Hasluck and I made a careful survey of the church and the scanty remains of the monastic buildings in March, 1902, putting up for a week at a farmhouse about four miles distant.The planning of the central part of the church at the ground level carried up as a hexagon and domed with a twelve-sided cupola is very interesting and somewhat unusual for this type of church. An hexagonal plan of somewhat similar character is shown in Fig. 1, a drawing from a Cairene Mosque made by Mr E. F. Reynolds, Student of the School in 1902–3. The arrangement of the apse internally is very effective, though, on account of the slope of the ground, which rises considerably at this end of the church, we were unable to determine the external treatment. The gallery and first floor are approached on the west side from a room over what appears to have been the monks' cells, and this seems to have been the only means of access to it, as no evidence of a staircase leading to the upper floor exists in the church at all. Fig. 2 gives an elevation and section of the screen.

Abstract The ruined Cistercian church of Vaucelles is known only by a few preserved fragments and a plan of the choir reproduced by Villard of Honnecourt. Historical sources provide three key dates: 1190 (start of construction), 1215 (entry into the new church), 1235 (date of the dedication). From the nineteenth century until now, it was considered that the foundations were laid in 1190 and that the construction started on the west side of the church. In 1216, the nave would have been completed, and the choir would have been built between 1216 and 1235. Consultation of the historical sources and examination of the historiographic record changes this established chronology of the site. In fact, the construction proceeded from east to west. The choir reproduced in 1216 or shortly before by Villard de Honnecourt presents the building as it then appeared, with the eastern part of the building totally completed.

The church discussed in the paper is situated in Avgia, on the outskirts of Batumi. It is an early Christian period hall-type church with northern and southern wings. The ground plan of the whole structure resembles the well-known layout of the croixlibre. The whole building is 23.85 m long and 19.0 m wide – including the arms. It has a projecting semi-circular apse whose radius is 6.05 m. The main space of the church is divided into three parts. It consists of a transverse hall, which may have operated as a narthex, a hall, and an altar apse. The floor of the structure was covered with pinkish lime mortar, a mixture of small pebbles and ceramic powder. The only central entrance to the church was located on the west side. The northern annex had an entrance in the north-western corner, and the southern one – in the south-eastern corner. The church seems to have been built of rubble stone. The construction style, layout, and archaeological evidence from the site narrow down its chronology to the 5th and 6th centuries AD.

The construction of an underground car park at Largo de Jesus, in Lisbon, led to an archaeological intervention in 2005. That space corresponds to the old churchyard of the Jesus’ Church, the Mercês’ current parish seat. In addition to other remains, the foundations of the staircase leading to the church were identified, as well as several wall structures. Some of those seem to be prior to the 1755 earthquake and related to an area of warehouses that could have belonged to the Mendia palace, on the west side of the square, completely remodeled after the earthquake. The intervention also made it possible to verify that different rebuilding works on that place eliminated, progressively, the previous spatial realities, affected it in all the stratigraphic contexts detected, compromising and hindering their reading. There are numerous remains of everyday material that were found in those realities, with special emphasis on ceramic containers; however, the objective of this work is to present some of the non-ceramic artifacts recovered there.

The observations of Mr. Gwilt relative to the Church of St. Mary-le-Bow, in the City of London, and its Saxon or Norman Crypt, published in the fifth volume of the Vetusta Monumenta, with the very accurate illustrative Engravings, excited much interest in relation to the structure; but it is not generally known that there exist, in its immediate neighbourhood, subterranean architectural remains, although evidently of a later date, yet of a very interesting character.

Many plans exist of what is now the Cathedral at Bristol, but there are to my knowledge none to a sufficiently large scale to be of much practical use, and in those that do exist, with two exceptions, the buildings south of the church, that surround the cloister court, are either only roughly outlined or are omitted altogether. The two exceptions are (1) the Ordnance Survey map of 1884, which shows buildings now destroyed, and (2) a plan (without scale) which accompanies a paper by the late Mr. E. W. Godwin, F.S.A., published in the Archaeological Journal for 1863. This is little more than a block plan, but it is the only attempt hitherto made to identify the various monastic buildings. Since this latter plan was made a road has been taken through near the gatehouse, involving the destruction of the buildings that stood on the west side of College Green at that point, and since 1884 another road has been made on the south side across the site of some of the then existing monastic buildings. The precinct is now therefore considerably reduced in area; originally it appears to have included College Green, while the monastic land extended south to the rivers Frome and Avon. The plan (pi. XXXIV) includes all the monastic buildings now remaining, and shows the position and extent as far as possible of those destroyed. Some old plans, the property of the Dean and Chapter, have quite recently been placed at my disposal, which have enabled me to add the buildings west of the church and adjoining the gate-house.

New Entry

It is known that Mrs. Mary Hanne (or Hanna) was landlady to Bishop Richard Challoner, Vicar Apostolic of the London District in the eighteenth Century. In the parish ratebooks (now at Holborn Town Hall) for the years 1767, 1768, 1772, 1776, 1778 and 1780 her name always appears in the same position among those living on the west side of Gloucester Street, now Old Gloucester Street, near the church of St. George, Queen Square. Her name is also to be found in the Watch ratebook for 1777, but not in that for the year 1780, where its place is taken by the new entry “Wm. Burgis Middx 81.”

Between 1919 and 1931 a large amount of medieval pottery, objects of metal, jet, and bone, and coins and jettons were found at Rievaulx Abbey in the course of clearance by H.M. Office of Works (now the Ministry of Public Building and Works). The collection includes two examples of heraldic metalwork and a decorated strip which are sufficiently remarkable to merit detailed publication. The pendant (pl. xxi a) was found in 1922 at the east end of the Church, in the filling of the second from the south of the five chapels in a row against the east wall. The mounting and roundel (pl. xxi b–d) were found in 1924 in the filling on the west side of the Frater, south of the flight of steps leading to the pulpit. The third object, the metal strip with inscription (pl. xxi e), was found in 1925 between the Frater and the Reredorter. No significance can be attached to these findspots, since small objects were found in nearly every part of the abbey. No doubt some were lost during the period of occupation, but the majority seem to have been scattered about by despoilers at the time of the Suppression in 1539.

Accidental Discovery

The accidental discovery of a number of these Coins, greater than any hitherto made, having been communicated to me by the Reverend William Airey, the Perpetual Curate of Hexham, I am enabled to lay the following account before the Society of Antiquaries.On Monday the fifteenth day of October last, the sexton and his assistant were employed in preparing a grave, at the west side of the north transept of the present church of Hexham, about three yards from the wall. It was in that part of the church-yard now used, which is called the Campey Hill; and which many years ago was an eminence, but has since been levelled; and, though not originally any portion of the burial ground, has been of late years appropriated for that purpose. Why this place received its name of the Campey Hill we have not at the present day the means of ascertaining; but the hill would appear to have been principally formed by the ruins of part of the church, and the consequent accumulations of soil and rubbish since the time at which the Coins were concealed, which was prior to the erection of the present building.

Diurnal Patterns

Sunlight-exposed clusters of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Chardonnay at twelve positions on a N-S oriented, single curtain trellis were monitored for temperature to determine their patterns of heat summation and diurnal temperature. Diurnal patterns of temperature differed greatly among these clusters. These differences reflected the solar insolation on individual clusters. Point-in-time measurements among clusters during mid-day varied as much as 12°C. 24-hour heat summation for these clusters revealed little difference among them. Heat summations for periods of daylight or solar insolation indicate more heat accumulation for clusters on the top of the trellis, at ground level and on the west side of the trellis than on the east side of the trellis. These differences might be usefully exploited when training vines to maximize aspects of fruit maturation in relatively cool climates.
