Review:
John Schofield is an author, freelance archaeologist and architectural historian.
'John Schofield is to be congratulated on bringing together the fruits of so much painstaking reseach to give us a better appreciation of the medieval glory that has departed forever.' 'The sheer quantity of data and analysis presented here will make it a staple reference work of church archaeology research and teaching for years to come, and its deft presentation of a wealth of interdisciplinary information should ensure that it serves as a template for future publications of cathedral excavations.' 'this is a magnificent and seminal volume, and it redounds greatly to the credit of English Heritage to have brought it to publication.' 'Thorough, fascinating and weighty without being elitist, this book . . . is an unbeatable landmark publication.' This is a thorough, very well illustrated and readable book, and in its hard-back form it is good value for money. ... this publication is a very welcome addition to the ecclesiastical archaeologist's library. -- Kevin Blockley * Archaeological Journal, vol 169, published September 2013 *
