Welcome to the blog of the Gloucestershire cross-slab survey. Cross-slabs are a class of medieval stone grave markers which are decorated with a cross motif; they are most commonly found at churches and monastic sites, although some are held in museums. The survey aims to record all surviving medieval cross-slabs across Gloucestershire, compile a gazetteer database, and publish a corpus of Gloucestershire cross-slabs.
A visit to Gloucester Cathedral to finish
recording the wonderful Lancault font gave a spare
hour to admire the architecture and have a quick look for cross-slabs that we can record....once we have finished the east of the county.
