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.

The date in Clarendon type is that of the engraving of the brass, usually also the date of decease. Every genealogical reference in the list, unless enclosed within a rectangular bracket, or authoritatively specified, is recorded on the brass. In most instances the position in the church is stated, as also the size of the effigy or inscription in inches.
