"Flint Flushwork is a wholly external decorative medium, where the skills of medieval craftsman blended with the iconography of the medieval church to create a unique new art form. It is an artistic achievement that is built into the very fabric of many hundreds of medieval churches. As such, many examples of Flushwork survive where more important artworks have succumbed to the ravages of time, reformation and over zealous restoration. It is a rich field of study that, surprisingly, has not attracted the same depth of research and analysis as other aspects of church architecture." "This book provides a wider perspective of the several different modes of Flushwork that have been identified and aims to encourage a greater understanding and wider appreciation of this relatively unchartered branch of church art."--Jacket.
