Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monumental Brasses in the Bedfordshire Churches Before commencing on the subject of the various brasses in the Bedfordshire churches, may I say a few words about the material of which brasses are composed? The metal consists of a mixture of copper, zinc, lead, and tin, and is called 'laton.' Some of the districts where it was engraved in England were Norwich, Ipswich, and Bristol. When the brass was completed ready for fixing into the floor, it was handed over to a mason, often an illiterate man, who could not read nor write; consequently mishaps occurred, as, for example, some of the brasses being placed upside down, because of his inability to read what was written thereon. The earlier the date of the brasses, the better is the material and more accurate the workmanship. After the fourteenth century brasses deteriorated as to their cutting - in fact, in some of the later brasses the features, etc., are so badly cut that a good rubbing cannot be obtained from them. After the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII. very many of our brasses were destroyed; even in the following reign the brasses suffered severely.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monumental Brasses The object of this handbook is to enable the explorer of churches, young or old, clerical or lay, to more fully appreciate the true value of those ancient brazen memorials which they so frequently see adorning pavement or wall. There are probably no objects of antiquarian interest which so well repay any attention which may be devoted to them, and the ease with which a valuable collection of rubbings can be made has induced great numbers of persons to provide themselves with paper and heelball, and apply their energies to the church floor. To such persons this book is more particularly addressed, in the hope that it will prove a useful and handy guide to the pursuit of what the author has found to be a most fascinating branch of the vast tree of archaeology.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A List of Monumental Brasses: Remaining in the County of Suffolk Thirteen years after the publication of my List of Monumental Brasses in Norfolk Churches, I am able to add a companion volume on those which remain in the adjoining County of Suffolk. The list has been compiled, after an examination of rubbings made by me, when collecting material for the Church Heraldry of Suffolk, which is still only in manuscript. As many brasses have been brought to light in the County of Norfolk since 1900, I do not doubt but that those who visit Suffolk Churches in search of such, will be able to send me the description of some which, not having been found in my visitation, are not recorded in the list; though such may possibly be mentioned in one of the appendices. I am indebted to my friend, Mr. Mill Stephenson, for many valuable additions to the Suffolk volume. He has kindly lent me the woodblocks, and helped me to compile the introduction, which will be a valuable help to those interested. in the study of armour and costume. To him alone is due the chronological list; and having examined all the rubbings of Suffolk brasses in the British Museum and elsewhere, the valuable additional notes are all his. With his vast knowledge of the subject, the result of such indefatigable labour will be, I am sure, generally appreciated, and I hardly know how to tender to him the thanks which are his due.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Monumental Brasses of Gloucestershire Scattered over the county of Gloucester, sometimes in out-of-the-way places, are still to be found a goodly number of those very interesting memorials called Monumental Brasses. These brasses are worthy of more than a passing notice, they furnish us with information most valuable to the historian, both general and local, and give many details of much importance to the herald, genealogist and antiquary. To the general reader they are equally interesting, since they are richly suggestive, and full of the touching pathos of the past. They clearly mark the successive steps of our nations progress - they tell of those stern and terrible times of strife and glory through which England has passed - they bear silent witness to those grand and far-reaching changes which have made our country what it is - and they give an insight into the currents of thought and feeling which deeply moved our forefathers. Gloucestershire contains more than eighty of these incised memorials, embracing a period of several centuries. In one place we have the valorous knight clad in glittering coat of steel - in another a tonsured ecclesiastic in vestments rich and elaborate - then the gentlewoman in the costume peculiar to her time - but whether knight, or priest, or lady fair, each is of importance in giving with remarkable fidelity a life-like picture of the military, sacerdotal, and domestic life of bygone times. One cannot but deeply regret that these unobtrusive memorials have suffered much mutilation and spoliation at the hands of the thief and the religious fanatic, as well as from the culpable neglect of their lawful custodians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Brasses of England Woolmen and the Judicial Brasses, in the appendices to Chapter VII., I am largely indebted to Mr. Jeans and Mr. Davis, for their accounts of individual brasses in Lincolnshire and Gloucestershire. From the former I have also derived my account of the noble and sadly mutilated brasses at Tattershall, as also much else about other brasses of his chosen county. In the matter of Palimpsests I have relied wholly upon Mr. Stephenson, whose work upon the subject, in the Transactions of tlze Monumental Brass Society, is practically exhaustive. My views upon the German origin and workman ship of the most important of those brasses which have hitherto been called Flemish are founded upon a close examination of the examples existing in England, and a detailed comparison of them with the splendid illustrations of German, Flemish, and other foreign brasses included in Mr. Creeny's Monumental Brasses of tbe Continent of Europe, published in folio in 1884.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Memorial Brasses This book is written in order to stimulate interest in ancient memorial brasses amongst those unfamiliar with the subject. In its compilation, the author has derived much assistance from the late Rev. H. Haines's excellent Manual of Monumental Brasses, now out of print and very scarce; from the Rev. H. W. Macklin s works, The Brasses of England, and Monumental Brasses, also from Mr. H. Druitt's Costume on Brasses, and Mr. E. R. Sufllings English Church Brasses; together with articles which have appeared from time to time in various magazines. The scope of this work does not permit of any reference to Memorial Brasses affixed to the walls of our churches during the past century. The metal of which these arc composed is usually extremely thin, and the engraving is very shallow; the wax-filling has therefore in some cases already disappeared, thus rendering the inscription illegible It is proposed to study only the quaint dark metal plates which are generally to be found on the floors of so many parish churches, as by so doing it is possible to derive much information of local and national interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A List of the Sepulchral Brasses of England: Alphabetically Arranged in Counties In introducing this work to the public, the author fears it will appear presumptuous, as several of the same character are already in existence which claim attention from their superior merit; still he indulges a hope that the present may not prove altogether uninter esting, when it is found to contain a list of brasses considerably greater in number than any of its predecessors. Learning from the reports of the various Architectural Societies that these interesting memorials were rapidly decreasing in number, it occured to him that a more extended list might be acceptable. It has been carefully collected from the following works z - Cotman's Norfolk and Sufolh Brasses, Boutell's Monumental Brasses of England, The Oxford Manual, Manning's List, The Cambridge Camden Society's and Messrs. Waller's Brasses, Hudson's Sepulchral Brasses of North amptonshire, Stothard's Efigies, Gough's and Hartshorne's Sepal chral Monuments, Hollis's Monumental Efigies, The Gentleman's Magazine, Notes and Queries, The Archwolo'gical and the various Architectural Societies' Reports, and the following Topographical works - Nicholls' Leicestershire, Lyson's Magna Britannia, Blore's Rutland, Bridge's and Baker's Northamptonshire, Allen's Lincoln shire, Lipscomb's Buchs, Brander's Parish Churches, Fisher's Bedfordshire Collections, Clutterbuclc's Herts, Registram Rofiense, Moule's English Counties, Thoroton's Notts, Hoare's Wilts, Poul son's Holderness, Whittaker's Richmondshire, &c., &c. &c.
