The Churches Dedicated to St Clement in Medieval England

by Barbara Crawford

A 'hagio-geography' of the cult of martyr-pope Clement examining the founding and distribution of churches dedicated to him in England and Scotland in the late Anglo-Saxon and Viking era, and their often-assumed link with the Danish settlement. Involves a close study of the topography of early towns in England, and Norway and Denmark, in estimating the date of foundation of churches dedicated to St Clement. 237p with illustrations. (Scripta Ecclesiastica 1, Axioma 2008)

Review Quote

"The book's pithy analysis of the Europe-wide dimension of the cult of St Clement gives much food for thought... Anyone interested in St Clement, the more general dynamics of the development of saints' cults or the cultural politics of the North Sea zone in the tenth and eleventh centuries would benefit from consulting this volume."

Mark A. Hall
Antiquity, vol 84, No. 324 (June 2010)
