Beskrivning
The early 16th-century baptismal font canopy of the church of St. Peter Mancroft, Norwich, is one of only three such structures to survive anywhere in the British Isles. This study, inspired by the recent rediscovery of four attributable panels at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, offers a trans-temporal account of the canopy’s initial creation and subsequent use, mutilation, and modification. Written by a team of scholars in art/architectural history, art conservation, heritage documentation, literary studies, and museum curation, it explores the installation’s multiple artistic, ritual, and cultural contexts, from late medieval and early modern Europe to modern-day North America.Contributors are Benjamin Baaske, Sarah Blick, Kate Duffy, Brent R. Fortenberry, Amy Gillette, Jack Hinton, Lesley Milner, Peggy Olley, Ellen K. Rentz, Behrooz Salimnejad, Zachary Stewart, Achim Timmermann, Charles Tracy, Kim Woods, and Lucy Wrapson.

“Together these chapters make for a substantial, well-illustrated book, […]. Its combination of expansive, contextual surveys from across England and Europe and close, interdisciplinary examination of the canopy itself will be of interest to historians of church furniture and liturgy from far beyond the bounds of Norwich.”Gabriel Byng in Journal of the British Archaeological Association, vol. 178 (2025), pp. 205-7. (DOI 10.1080/00681288.2025.2533566)
