Roy. 8vo., First Edition, with coloured frontispiece, 155 monochrome plates on 100 and very numerous illustrations in the text, some faint offsetting from fold-ins to free endpapers; original terracotta cloth, backstrip lettered in black, a very good, bright, clean copy. Following the publication of 'English Church Screens' (1936) dealing with parish churches, Vallance began work on this equally comprehensive and scholarly sequel. The text was virtually complete when the author died (in July 1943) and the work was completed and brought to press by Edward T Long. The two works together remain the standard reference.
4to., First Edition, with frontispiece and very numerous half-tone plates from photographs and old engravings, sketches and illustrations in the text, some minor browning on endpapers; decorative cloth gilt, gilt back, backstrip faded as often, edges with one or two light bruises else a very good, clean copy. Literature on ancient crosses is strangely limited to pre-mediaeval and village crosses; only here does one find extensive treatment of the (architecturally) far more interesting Eleanor Crosses, and a chapter on lych gates. SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION.
