British Medieval Architecture: "The aim of this site is to aid research into British medieval architecture. Academic papers are offered alongside detailed information on the 'Devizes Heads'. We offer the viewer an insight into certain elements of British medieval architecture, mainly focusing on timber-frame construction methods. In particular, we will explore the medieval corbel heads from Devizes (Wiltshire), employing virtual technologies to explore the techniques of their manufacture. In addition to this, the broader field of carpentry joints, used by late medieval carpenters, will be examined virtually."

Corpus of Romanesque Sculpture in Britain and Ireland: "The CRSBI is a project based at the Courtauld Institute in London, and is engaged in recording all the Romanesque sculpture in the British Isles. It is being made available to scholars in the form of a searchable database of text and images on the web. The current site is a pilot, confined to the county of Berkshire, but work is continuing to edit our fieldworkers' site reports and add material from other parts of our area. We plan to add Ireland next, to be followed by Warwickshire."

Corpus Vitrearum Medii Aevi: Medieval Stained Glass in Great Britain: "The Corpus Vitrearum Medii Aevi (or CVMA) is an international research project dedicated to the publication of medieval stained glass. Founded in 1949, the CVMA has committees in fourteen countries and over sixty-five volumes have been published so far." This is a really excellent web site. You can access images of the stained glass from three main methods: a county map, a county index or by searching. You can view excellent images and get very detailed records about them and where they can be found. The site also has a short bibliography of materials and links to other web sites.

Medieval Cartoon: Unravel the meaning of this cartoon: "This cartoon is from 1233. It is a detailed cartoon and it is a real mystery. It was found on an Exchequer Roll. A roll is not a sandwich but a government document recording various payments. This roll listed tax payments made by Jewish people. They were called rolls because that is how they were stored - rolled up." This is part of the Learning Curve site sponsored by The National Archives, UK. This site challenges students to decypher the meaning of this medieval cartoon.

Medieval Wall Painting in the English Parish Church: "This site represents the continuing development of what may one day become a comprehensive catalogue. Vast quantities of Medieval Wall Painting have been lost forever, of course, but there is nevertheless more left on English church walls than is generally realised; paintings continue to be uncovered and more still are known to exist under layers of plaster. Some of these will come to light one day; in fact some are already doing so, as at Houghton-on-the-Hill, near Swaffham in Norfolk, which is included in these pages." This site contains a ton of excellent information about wall paintings in English churches. There are scores of images, maps, descriptions and more to really help anyone interested in this field.

Turning the Pages: The British Library has 15 works available online for you to read just like you were sitting there holding them in your hands. You can turn the pages. You can read additional text, listen to audio or even zoom in for a closer look. The 15 works are not exclusively medieval, but so include such gems as the Lindisfarne Gospels, Lutterell Psalter, and the Sherbourne Missal.
