The tomb of Bishop James Kennedy (d.1465) is perhaps the most spectacular funerary monument to survive from pre-Reformation Scotland. Here, in the north east of Kennedy’s college of St Salvator, St Andrews, impossibly complex microarchitecture surrounds a dramatic central recess. This unusual form has puzzled scholars for some time. In this talk, Lizzie will discuss her research, which has revealed an important hidden feature of the tomb that has never before been understood by scholars.
