| Abstract | Church dedications in early Anglo-Saxon England often have to be inferred from much later evidence, but they have untapped potential for illuminating some of the darker corners of the early Christian period. These papers draw on narrative sources, settlement studies, and archaeology to supplement information about individual church dedications and the wider geographical patterns which they show. Together they illuminate the significance of early dedications for understanding aspects of the society and the mentalities of the period. |
