Abstract
This book was inspired by the author’s interest in Reading Abbey’s surviving carved stonework, much of which was unearthed in excavations and is now held in Reading Museum, and more generally by his sense, stated in the preface, that the abbey has had ‘a raw deal’. Founded and lavishly endowed by Henry I in 1121, Reading held a high ranking among English Benedictine abbeys throughout the medieval period, but it suffered particularly badly in the Reformation. The hanging of Reading’s abbot was followed by a rapid demolition of the abbey’s fabric, a destruction so thorough that antiquarians found it difficult to determine the layout of the abbey’s church from the standing remains. Ron Baxter, an art historian, is at his best when discussing the abbey’s architecture and sculpture, as he does in the last three chapters of this book, but he also provides readers with four preliminary chapters in which he supplies a compendium of material regarding the abbey’s foundation, relics, burials and royal visits, and a fifth, transitional chapter in which he discusses the dissolution of the abbey and the fate of its fabric.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
