ABSTRACT

A recent argument that the surviving masonry of the late Saxon chapel at Bradford-on-Avon was left unfinished by its builders is challenged. Instead, it is proposed that the work had been done hurriedly. Fort-building by King Æthelred II (979–1014) in the early part of his reign is also questioned. The possible implications of a cist-burial excavated outside the west end of the chapel are considered.

摘要

最近的一个论点是，在埃文河畔布拉德福德的已故撒克逊教堂幸存的砖石结构没有被其建造者完成，这一论点受到了挑战。相反，建议这项工作已经匆忙完成。埃塞尔雷德二世 (979–1014) 在其统治初期建造的堡垒也受到质疑。考虑了在教堂西端外挖掘的地壳墓葬的可能影响。
