Abstract | This panel looks at the borders decorating two chantry chapels. At Cogges, Oxfordshire, the devotional calm of the female effigy is seemingly disturbed by burlesque imagery above. In the Clopton Chantry, Long Melford, a hand reaches down from the 'roof-heaven' to offer a scroll interwoven by a flourishing vine. How do these borders contribute to or subvert the construction of sacred space and the liturgies that took place there? |
