St Gregory's Minster, Kirkdale, North Yorkshire: Analysis of a Glass Rod
Author(s): Sarah Paynter
A small fragment of a weathered glass rod from St Gregory’s Minster, Kirkdale, North Yorkshire, believed to be early medieval in date, was analysed using SEM-EDS. The compositional information indicated that the rod was originally of colourless glass decorated with trails of yellow and white, which was then twisted. Similar material was recovered during English Heritage excavations at Whitby Abbey in 2002 and a comparison of the glass fragments will be included in the forthcoming Research Department report on the Whitby material.
