The Corpus of
ROMANESQUE SCULPTURE
in Britain & Ireland
The Corpus of Romanesque Sculpture is a complete online record of all the surviving Romanesque sculpture in Britain and Ireland, at more than 5000 sites. It provides us with a unique window on the aesthetics, beliefs, daily life, preoccupations, humour and technical skills of the artists and people of this creative and formative era from the late 11th century to the late 12th century.
Every entry is freely available and includes information on the historical and architectural context of the building, a first-class photographic record, and a scholarly description of the sculpture. Our work continues and many sites are already available on this website.

The annual CRSBI lecture was held at The Courtauld Institute of Art on April 25th. The lecture, "North and South of the Loire: The Culture of Copying and the Rebirth of Sculpture" was given by Professor Deborah Kahn. The costs associated with the lecture and reception were generously met by John Osborn. CRSBI would like to thank him for his support.
CRSBI ran its first conference session at the Leeds International Medieval Congress 2017.
