Glad you got there, fgsltw

Thanks everyone, '1a' straightforward. '1d' rather tough!

Could someone help me out with the down clue starting "She sculpted..."? I'm assuming it's someone's name, and if so then no one I've heard of

It isn’t actually a name. There is a two-letter abbreviation for Latin “he/she sculpted” (in Bradford’s) which when put in front of the answer gives something sacred to them

I realise this is an advanced cryptic, but man, that is some arcane sh*t! Thanks Q 🙂

My grid has a full stop at the end of the relevant name - I hope that that is correct?

I think that point helps you to accurately deduce the absent corners

Hi everyone, I've been gratefully using your hints for a few months but only just signed up!

I've worked out the answers for the top left corner but I can't seem to determine where to put them. Can't get the answers to fit together. It says bars and numbers not required, but there must be black cells?

Am I missing something really obvious?

no blank cells.
top row is fully populate
2nd row starts at col 2
