The Golden Legend

The Book

The book is the first comprehensive photographic guide to the painted medieval panels of saints on rood screens in East Anglia – some 1200 in all
 
The book is arranged by the individual saints with some comments on their lives and the iconography associated with them. Other representations of the saints in stained glass, carving and wall painting have been added
 
The book is 320 pages long. It has an introduction and a conclusion, both of a few pages, together with a number of appendices
