Frontispiece: the late 11th-century tower of Langford church
Frontispiece The late 11th-century tower of Langford church, combining late Anglo-Saxon architectural features (pilaster strips and double-splayed windows) with Norman Romanesque roll mouldings. The patron was probably the Anglo-Saxon landholder Aelfsige of Faringdon, a collaborator who accumulated extensive estates in the area following the Norman Conquest. The stone sundial carries carved figures reminiscent of those in the Bayeux Tapestry.
