Bar Locks and Early Church Security in the British Isles examines
the evidence for the measures taken to make church buildings secure
or defensible from their earliest times until the later medieval
period. In particular it examines the phenomenon of 'bar locks'
which the author identifies in many different contexts throughout
England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Bar locks take various forms
and can be made of different materials, but they all provide a
means of locking a door by placing a bar behind it from the inside
which is then secured onto the door frame or housings on adjacent
walls. The most dramatic examples are provided by thick wooden bars
slotted into recesses incorporated in the adjacent door jambs. The
volume describes and lists all the examples identified by the
author and also publishes his photographs of the evidence for the
first time. The recognition of the role of bar locks in securing
churches led the author to consider further measures which may have
been introduced to enhance church security; these measures could
Have had major implications for structural change and design in the
buildings. These supplementary protective requirements and methods
for achieving them are many and various and are also considered in
the volume.
