> 4.  Exeter Cathedral Keystones and Carvings: A Catalogue Raisonne of the
> Sculptures & Their Polychromy
> http://www.exetercathedral.co.uk/
>
> Exeter Cathedral Keystones and Carvings functions as "an illustrated
> introduction to, and explanatory catalogue of all the figurative sculpture
> that is part of the original interior fabric of the medieval building."
> The material on the site, which is primarily geared toward art historians
> and medievalists, was compiled by Avril Kay Henry, former professor of
> English Medieval Culture at University of Exeter, and the late Anna Carson
> Hulbert, a well known conservator. The site does not provide a tour
> through the cathedral so much as it offers photos and explanations of the
> individual sculptural pieces: "medieval bosses, corbels, labelstops,
> figurative capitals (and a few other interior carvings) which are an
> integral part of the medieval interior construction of Exeter Cathedral,
> Devon, England." Users can browse or search the contents, and a nice
> introduction and bibliography are both useful supplements. From the
> homepage, users can access a page that explains navigation and layout of
> the site, entitled The Resource: Coverage and Use. This one is well worth
> a stop for medievalists. [TK]
