 oss to discover English medieval shrines.Saints’ shrines were once o
 ne of the glories of English medieval decorative arts. Many were destr
 oyed in the sixteenth century, but a few survived almost intact, inclu
 ding the stunning shrine of St Edward the Confessor at Westminster. Ot
 her shrines have been reconstructed from pieces once thought lost but 
 rediscovered in often extraordinary circumstances. This lecture looks 
 at a number of particularly splendid shrines including that of the Con
 fessor, the Saxon King and Martyr St Edmund, St Thomas Becket and St A
 lban. All were once extraordinary examples of the very finest work of 
 the medieval artists who created them from stone, tile, gold, silver, 
 jewels and fabric. Some, like that of Becket at Canterbury, were of in
 ternational importance and a place of pilgrimage from across Europe.Ab
