Another Museum Booklet: The Saxon Church
.
Saxon Church museum booklet
.
Hot on the heels of the Bradford printers and Abbey Mills booklets comes one about Bradford’s Saxon Church. It has been written by David Hinton, who recently retired as Professor of Archaeology at Southampton University and is the author of several books on the medieval period. He carried out an excavation at the church which established that there had been a room beneath the site of the southern porticus.
The booklet is beautifully illustrated, including some of the drawings that were made by the Scottish architect James Irvine in the 1860s, before the building was restored.
It is on sale at the Museum, the Tourist Information Centre, Library and Ex Libris bookshop in the Shambles, 2nd edition £3.50.
