Abstract:		 The sculpted shaft at Rothley has long been regarded as key evidence for the importance of this place in the early medieval period. Because of this, it has been discussed primarily in relation to its site, rather than as a cultural object in its own right. This article offers an entirely new, art-historical analysis of the imagery on the Rothley shaft, through comparison with early medieval metalwork. Not only does this strengthen the argument for a mid-ninth century, pre-Viking date for the shaft, but it also deeply enriches our understanding of the audience that the monument served. The findings have important implications for Rothley as a site and, therefore, illustrate how visual culture can be used to contextualise places.
