This book of essays is the first to deal exclusively with the Chapel Royal at Dublin Castle ; an important building that played a central role in the spiritual, social and political life of Ireland before and after independance. A captivating confection of plaster ornament, carved wood and jewel-like glass, the Chapel Royal crystalized the pretentions of the British administration at the dawn of the nineteenth century. From the pomp of the viceregal court to the piety of the new Irish state, its architecture has evolved to reflect the changing face of the nation. Based largely on new archival research by a variety of scholars, and lavishly illustrated, this book shines a light on that fascinating, and at times suprising, evolution.

The Chapel of St Peter-on-the-Wall, built on the ruins of a Roman fort, dates from the mid-seventh century and is one of the oldest largely intact churches in England. It stands in splendid isolation on the shoreline at the mouth of the Blackwater Estuary in Essex, where the land meets and interpenetrates with the sea and the sky. This book brings together contributors from across the arts, humanities and social sciences to uncover the pre-modern contexts and modern resonances of this medieval building and its landscape setting. The impetus for this collection was the recently published designs for a new nuclear power station at Bradwell on Sea, which, if built, would have a significant impact on the chapel and its landscape setting.  St Peter-on-the-Wall  highlights the multiple ways in which the chapel and landscape are historically and archaeologically significant, while also drawing attention to the modern importance of Bradwell as a place of Christian worship, of sanctuary and of cultural production. In analysing the significance of the chapel and surrounding landscape over more than a thousand years, this collection additionally contributes to wider debates about the relationship between space and place, and particularly the interfaces between both medieval and modern cultures and also heritage and the natural environment. Praise for St Peter-on-the-Wall 'Dale has expertly marshalled a series of expert contributors to what is an attractive, wideranging and hugely informative volume. The chapter by Kevin Bruce and Christopher Thornton (Ch. 7) does a thorough job in charting the missing medieval centuries, exploring evolving lands, owners, farms and fisheries, to which St Peter-on-the-Wall will have been a quiet, neglected witness.'' Medieval Settlement Research 'A major contribution to the historical record, and is beautifully edited, and handsomely produced. It would be great to see this book in every public library in Essex, so if you live near one do order it for their shelves.' The New English Landscape
