| Abstract | This panel will focus on the masons that created much of the 'materiality' of the medieval period. The masons working on the wooden rood screens of East Anglia, specifically Thomas Loveday and Thomas Gooch will be examined through their work. Then the masons working in stone will be examined through their surviving masons' marks, left across many buildings both ecclesiastical and secular. The final paper will consider the idiosyncratic self portraits left by the mason William Vertue (d.1527) on many of his creations in elite buildings, for example, Westminster Abbey. |
