Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Cathedrals The only royal monument is that to William of Hatfield son of Edward III who died in 1344. Other monuments or memorials (few of any architectural merit) are to: Thomas Haxey (1424) Treasurer of York, and benefactor to the Cathedral Sir William Gee the monument is a good example of the time; Frances Matthew (1629) wife of Arch bishop Matthew, daughter of Bishop Barlow of Chichester, and one of four sisters all of whom married bishops; William Wentworth (1695) Earl of Strafford, son of the great Earl. (of most of the early archbishops who were buried in the Minster there are no memorials. Tosti, brother of Harold, and the famous Hotspur were also buried in the Minster.) Other monuments are noted under 'historical Notes.' Some of the modern tombs are from designs by Sir Gilbert Scott. Thomas Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk, and Sir John Lamplugh, who were beheaded at the same time as Arch bishop Scrope, were buried in the Cathedral, but where is not known.

Download or read book Country Church Monuments written by C. B. Newham and published by Random House. This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark illustrated history of rural church monuments - the forgotten national treasures of England and Wales Deep in the countryside, away from metropolitan abbeys and cathedrals, thousands of funerary monuments are hidden in parish churches. These artworks - medieval brasses and elegant marble effigies, stone tomb chests and grand mausoleums - are of great historical and cultural significance, but have, due to their relative inaccessibility, faded from accounts of our art history. Over twenty-five years, C. B. Newham FSA has visited and photographed more than eight thousand rural churches, cataloguing the monumental sculptures encountered on his quest. In Country Church Monuments, he presents 365 of the very best, each accompanied by detailed photographs, biographies of both the deceased and their sculptors and a wealth of contextual material. Many of these works commemorate famous historical figures, from scheming Tudor courtier Richard Rich to Victorian prime minister William Ewart Gladstone. But more moving are the countless others - minor aristocrats, small-time industrialists, much-loved mothers, fathers and children - who, if not for their memorials, would wholly be lost to time. As Newham blows the dust off these artworks and breathes life into the stories they tell, a new aesthetic history of rural England and Wales emerges. Country Church Monuments is a poignant record of the art we make at the borders of life and death, of our ceaseless human striving for eternity.

Download or read book English Church Monuments in the Middle Ages written by Nigel Saul and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-02-12 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English Church Monuments in the Middle Ages offers a comprehensive survey of English church monuments from the pre-Conquest period to the early sixteenth century. Ground-breaking in its treatment of the subject in an historical context, it explores medieval monuments both in terms of their social meaning and the role that they played in the religious strategies of the commemorated. Attention is given to the production of monuments, the pattern of their geographical distribution, the evolution of monument types, and the role of design in communicating the monument's message. A major theme is the self-representation of the commemorated as reflected in the main classes of effigy-those of the clergy, the knights and esquires, and the lesser landowner or burgess class, while the effigial monuments of women are examined from the perspective of the construction of gender. While seeking to use monuments as windows onto the experiences and lives of the commemorated, it also exploits documentary sources to show what they can tell us about the influences that helped shape the monuments. An innovative chapter looks at the construction of identity in inscriptions, showing how the liturgical role of the monument limited the opportunities for expressions of self. Nigel Saul seeks to place monuments at the very centre of medieval studies, highlighting their importance not only for the history of sculpture and design, but also for social and religious history more generally.
