But recently it has begun to dawn +upon the more artistic members, at least of the +thinking public, how much of real archaeological +interest attaches to memorial brasses, hitherto known +and appreciated only by the few.</p> + +<p>As yet, however, there has been no cheap and +handy manual which will give the ordinary man in +the street a fair idea of the classes into which they +may most readily be grouped, and at the same time +furnish him with such essential details as will enable +him to distinguish instinctively the salient points of +the subject, and assimilate them to the full. It is +hoped that this little volume will succeed in fulfilling +this aim.</p> + +<p>The arrangement of the chapters is into periods +corresponding with those of History instead of the +artificial method of grouping into <i>knights</i>, <i>knights +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_vi">vi</span>and ladies</i>, <i>demi-figures</i>, etc. Those who would wish +to follow up the subject in more extended form +should read Mr Macklin’s excellent work <i>The +Brasses of England</i>, also Haines’ <i>Manual</i> and +Boutell’s <i>Monumental Brasses</i>.</p> + +<p>Most of the illustrations are from the author’s +own collection of rubbings (numbering over 1500), +and practically all the letter-press and descriptions +are based on his personal observations either from +the rubbings or from the brasses themselves. In a +few cases where this is not so, the author is indebted +to one or other of those authors above mentioned. +The Editor of <i>The Builder</i> has kindly given us +permission for the use of two of the blocks made +from the author’s rubbings, which appeared in a +recent number of that paper.</p> + +<blockquote> +<p class="right"> + J.

special opportunities, for in England +there are more brasses than in all the other countries +of Europe put together. The English brasses moreover +differ curiously from those of the Continent. +On the Continent the early engravers, probably influenced +by the Limoges plates and incised slabs which +preceded them, engraved figures, inscriptions and +other details on rectangular plates. The monument +of Geoffrey Plantagenet, 1150, father of Henry II of +England, which is now in the Museum at Le Mans +is such a plate. The enamelled effigy rests on a +diapered background. The earliest brass is that of +Bishop Iso von Wilpe, 1231, at Verden. (See Ch. XIII.)</p> + +<p>In England, as the engravers copied the stone +figures without backgrounds, they took the gravestone +itself for the groundwork, and figures, canopies, inscriptions, +etc. are each set into separate casements. +The earliest <i>matrix</i> (at St Paul’s, Bedford) shows a +large Latin cross and is believed to commemorate +Sir Simon de Beauchamp, 1208. The earliest brass +now extant is that of 1277 at Stoke d’Abernon. To +the first period belong in all twenty brasses (see +Appendix).</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_2">2</span></p> + +<figure class="figleft illowp40" id="fig01_p002" style="max-width: 20.0em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/fig01_p002.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + Fig. 1. Sir John Daubernon, 1277, Stoke d’Abernon, Surrey + </figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>The figure of Sir John +Daubernon (1) shows the +armour which had been +worn for the last three +centuries. He is in chain +mail with <i>coif de mailles</i>, +hawberk and <i>chausses</i> complete, +but the junctions of +these are not distinct. +Single-pointed prickspurs +are buckled round the +ankles. The only sign of +the coming change to plate +armour are the <i>genouillères</i>, +which protect the +knees and are adorned with +a fine pattern. They were +probably at first made of +leather, but later were of +plate.</p> + +<p>Over the mail is a +linen surcoat, drawn tight +round the waist by a cord. +Suspended upon his left +shoulder is his shield, small +and heater-shaped, charged +with his arms: <i>azure</i>, a +<i>chevron or</i>.

The upper arms have pieces of +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_5">5</span>plate over the chain, as before. A steel bascinet is +on the head, and the quatrefoil device on its apex +was probably meant to hold a crest or a lady’s favour.</p> + +<p>Sir John (II) has the earliest ogee-arch canopy. +There was a fine double one at Westley Waterless, +but not a vestige of it remains.</p> + +<p>Sir John de Northwode’s effigy is almost certainly +the work of a French craftsman. His shield hangs at +his left hip instead of on his arm, which was a very +usual method in France. The style of the engraving, +too, points in the same direction. His helmet is secured +by a chain, his head rests on a pillow and his forearms +are protected by scale-armour. About 1510, the lower +portion of the figure having been lost, new legs were +engraved. Though an effort has been made to preserve +the style of 1330, yet the new work is obviously +Tudor. The altered shape of the feet and badly depicted +lion readily show this. At the same time, a +strip was cut out of the middle to make the knight of +the same length as his wife!

Additional plates are +attached to the arms, and roundels are placed at the +elbows and below the shoulders. Cuisses of pourpoint +appear for the first time upon the thighs. These +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_10">[Pg 10]</span>were of leather (<i>cuir-bouilli</i>) studded with small steel +plates.</p> + +<p>The canopy (now much mutilated) is very fine. +Originally there were four canopied niches on either +side with “weepers,” or mourners, in the military +costume of the day. Three were missing, though of +these one, Lord Grey de Ruthyn, was preserved at +the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, and has lately, +we believe, been restored to its place.

A cuirass of +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_12">[Pg 12]</span>steel covers this and has over it a leather jupon, +which is often ornamented with its owner’s coat-of-arms. +The Burnell brass here illustrated shows the +armour of this type. The sharply-pointed bascinet is +connected with the body armour by a camail of chain, +hence this style of armour is often called the <i>camail +style</i>. The arms and legs are entirely enclosed in +plate in the later examples, but in the earlier +cuirasses of pourpoint are used for the thighs, as in +the brass of Sir John de Cobham, 1365. A bawdric, +or broad belt, worn straight round the hips, held +on the right a misericorde (dagger) and on the left a +sword.</p> + +<p>The dress of ladies of this period consists usually +of a close-fitting kirtle, buttoned tightly from neck +to waist and from elbow to wrist, and sometimes +right down the front. Over this is worn a mantle, +open in front, and kept in position by a cord across +the breast, see illustration.</p> + +<p>Sometimes a third dress appears (with or without +the mantle) over the kirtle.

Sellynger and wife, St George’s Chapel, +Windsor, 1475; Philip Mede and two wives, St Mary, +Redcliff, Bristol, 1475.</p> + +<p>The Yorkist collar of stars and roses takes the +place of the S.S. It is found at Broxbourne, St +Albans, Little Easton, 1483, and elsewhere.</p> + +<p>The horned head-dress of the ladies changes to +the mitred, as at Thornton and Morley. The +memorial of Ly. Joyce Tiptoft, Enfield, Middlesex, +c. 1470, is one of the few really fine brasses of the +period and shows the dress and armorial bearings +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_28">28</span>well. The canopy is fine, possibly copied from that +of the Duchess of Gloucester (1399) in Westminster +Abbey. The arrangement of shields hung from the +shafts of the canopy is only one of several similar +features. The head is far too large, as is often the +case at this date, and spoils the general effect. Her +jewelled necklace should be noticed (page 57).</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp55" id="fig12_p029" style="max-width: 40em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/fig12_p029.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + Fig. 12. Sir Thomas Urswyk and family, 1479, Dagenham, Essex + </figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>The butterfly head-dress begins to replace the +mitred head-dress, hitherto in vogue. A veil of +gauze was extended over wires. In real life it was +doubtless light and beautiful, but in brass it looks +heavy and ungainly. The wife of Sir Thos. Urswyk, +Dagenham, Essex, shows this type of <i>coiffure</i>. She +also wears a low-necked gown, showing the upper +part of the corsage. Her cuffs and necklace are +characteristic, and her somewhat awkward poise is +typical of the period. Her daughters are of special +interest. The head-dresses of the six younger are +formed by conical nets of several designs, their long +hair hanging down behind. These examples are +unique. The eldest daughter is a nun, and the other +two resemble their mother, but wear no mantle. +The sons wore the ordinary civilian costume of the +time, but have quite recently been stolen.</p> + +<p>Widows still wear the wimple, and maidens have +long, flowing hair.</p> + +<p>There is but little variety in the dress of civilians. +The anlace becomes rare and its place is often taken +<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_29"></a><a id="Page_30"></a>30</span>by a rosary. The hair is close-cropped, and the +figures usually small. Mantles are only worn as a +sign of office.</p> + +<p>The <i>Woolmen</i> and the <i>Lawyers</i> represent the +best work to be seen at this epoch. Of the latter, +Sir Thos. Urswyk, 1479, Chief Baron of the Exchequer, +already mentioned, will serve as an example. He is +bare-headed, and the fur lining of his mantle is visible, +as is his rosary. His sons display the usual costume +of the day without the mantle.</p> + +<p>Notaries wear a plain gown with pencase and +inkhorn hanging from the belt. A scarf and a cap +are fastened on the left shoulder. (Appendix.)</p> + +<p>We have now come to the close of the Middle +Ages. The signs of deterioration of this, as of other +medieval arts, are apparent.</p> + +<p>The question may be asked—In what language +and type were the inscriptions engraved? Briefly, +the earlier (in Norman French) are engraved in +separated Lombardic letters which were inserted +round the edge of the slab. This gave place +to a border fillet. This fillet soon began to be +engraved in Gothic characters. In the fifteenth +century Latin became the usual language—from the +beginning it had been used for <i>ecclesiastics</i>. It +never entirely fell out of use, but towards the end +of the fifteenth century English began to appear. +During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_31">31</span>latter takes the place of Latin to a large extent. +Roman characters replaced Gothic in the seventeenth +century.</p> + +<p>The arbitrary contractions of words employed by +the engravers from the earliest to the latest periods +render the deciphering of a large proportion of the +inscriptions no easy task.</p> + + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> +<div class="chapter"> + <h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_V"> + CHAPTER V + <br><span class="sm"> + MEDIEVAL CLERGY + </span></h2> +</div> + + +<p class="center"><i>Deacons.</i></p> + +<p>There is no complete brass to a deacon now +extant, and there exists but one solitary mutilated +example at Burwell, Cambridge, on the reverse of +part of the brass of John Lawrence, Abbot of +Ramsey.</p> + +<p>The dalmatic was their distinguishing vestment. +It was shorter than an alb, slit up on either side for +a short distance and had a straight edge before and +behind. The left side and lower edge were fringed +for a deacon, <i>both</i> sides when worn by a bishop.</p> + +<p>When St Stephen, St Philip or St Lawrence +appear in canopies, they wear this vestment.</p> + +<p>The tunicle was worn by sub-deacons. It is +similar to the dalmatic, but of linen, whereas the +latter was usually of silk and often richly decorated.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_32">32</span></p> + + +<p class="center"><i>Mass Vestments.</i></p> + +<p>The most numerous brasses to the clergy are to +the incumbents of our country churches, and these +are usually depicted in mass vestments. The average +country parson was, as now, a man of modest means, +and so it is not surprising that these brasses as a +rule are small, and very few have canopies or even +marginal inscriptions. There is but little development +in any of the vestments, as these had become +fixed in their main features many centuries earlier.</p> + +<p>The chief characteristic change is that the hair +of early ecclesiastics is long and curly and tends to +become less so, till by Tudor times it is absolutely +straight. In fourteenth century brasses the material +of the vestments seems to be thin and fits closely to +the body, whereas later it is stiff and heavy.</p> + +<p>The fylfot cross is found on the vestments of +many priests, as at Kemsing, Kent, c. 1320, and in +the brass of Rich. de Hakebourne, Merton College, +Oxford, 1310. This ancient symbol, known in the +Sanscrit as the <i>swastika</i>, is found on Buddhist +inscriptions in India and China, on Greek vases and +Roman pavements (as at Brading, I.o.W.) and on Runic +inscriptions and elsewhere. On brasses it is mainly +found upon those of the fourteenth century.</p> + +<p>We will consider in detail the monument of +Lawrence de St Maur, 1337; at Higham Ferrers, +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_33">33</span>which must serve for all the others (see frontispiece). +It is by far the finest, and, indeed, there are only four +or five others with canopies at all, and hardly a dozen +have effigies over three feet long. The central panel +of the canopy contains God the Father, the soul and +two angels, St Peter and St Paul, St Andrew and +St Thomas. At the four corners are the Evangelists. +Then, St Gabriel opposite (perhaps) St Mary; St +John Baptist opposite (perhaps) the Magdalene; St +Stephen opposite (perhaps) St Lawrence; the Abbot +St Maur opposite St Christopher, whose bare feet can +be seen standing in a river. Beneath the priest’s +feet are two dogs quarrelling over a bone.</p> + +<p>The total length of the brass is 8 ft. 3 inches, and +breadth 3 ft. 5 inches.</p> + +<p>The figure wears an <i>alb</i> with apparels at the foot +and on each arm. In the earliest brasses these +pieces of embroidery went right round the wrists, +but they were soon reduced to simple squares. The +amice encircles the neck and is like a handkerchief +with a strip of embroidery along one side. As worn +it looks like a collar. The stole was crossed over the +breast and held in place by the girdle of the alb. +Usually, as here, only the ends can be seen. At +Sudborough, Northants., 1415, at Horsham, Sussex, +c. 1430, and at Upwell, Norfolk, 1435, it can be seen +in entirety. Over the left arm hangs the maniple, +a strip of embroidery, similar to a stole. Over all +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_34">34</span>he wears a fine chasuble. In this case there is a +narrow band of embroidery round the edge, but this +is unusual. The ordinary type is perfectly plain. +In the sixteenth century a central pillar of embroidery +or orphrey is common. It is also found on the +chasubles of bishops and abbots at an earlier date. +Occasionally, the whole ground was covered with a +pattern.</p> + +<p>It will be noticed that many priests are represented +holding chalices. There is quite a considerable +group of brasses consisting of chalices only. +They all commemorate priests. The selected list in +the Appendix will be useful to those who wish to +study them more closely. It was customary to bury +pewter chalices with priests who were interred in +their mass vestments. The author himself has one +of these coffin chalices. It was probably from this +custom that the idea originated of making chalice +brasses. The earliest are in Yorkshire; there are +many in Norfolk, but few outside these counties.</p> + +<p>Robt. Wodehowse’s brass at Holwell, Beds., 1515, +has as a rebus two wode-howses, or wild men, with +clubs, on either side of the chalice.</p> + +<p>There is a peculiar brass at Winwick, Lancashire, +to Sir Peter Legh, 1527. On the death of his wife, +he gave up his calling as a knight and became a +priest.</p> + +<p>He is bare-headed and has a tonsure. Over his +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_35">35</span>armour he wears a chasuble, and between his hands +is a coat-of-arms.</p> + + +<p class="p2 center">CHOIR AND PROCESSIONAL VESTMENTS</p> + + +<p class="center"><i>The Almuce.</i></p> + +<p>Except when at Mass, the usual vestments worn +were cassock and surplice, almuce, hood and cope.</p> + +<p>The cassock was the ordinary walking dress of the +clergy. In a few cases it is shown alone. (Appendix.)</p> + +<p>The almuce was a large cape turned down over +the shoulders and lined with fur. D.D.’s and canons +wore one lined with grey fur, and the former had the +outside cloth scarlet.</p> + +<p>All others wore dark-brown fur. The tails of the +animals were sewn round the edge and two long +lappets hung down in front. The fur lining is the +only part shown in brasses, and this is usually represented +by cutting away the metal and filling up the +surface with lead or coloured earths. Of these there +are a fair number. (Appendix.)</p> + + +<p class="center"><i>The Cope.</i></p> + +<p>More usually the <i>cope</i> accompanies the almuce. +Over a hundred brasses of coped priests remain. +Many are both large and fine, with canopies. They +usually commemorate Church dignitaries.</p> + +<p>The cope was a beautiful and costly vestment, +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_36">36</span>shaped like a cloak, and was fastened across the +breast by the morse. Orphreys adorned the straight +edges. The general surface was usually plain, though +occasionally covered by a pattern, as in the case of +Robt. Langton, Queen’s College, Oxford, 1518, and +John White, Winchester College, Hants., c. 1548. +This is generally a sign of late work. A small, semicircular +hood attached to the back of the cope was +usually hidden by the upper part of the almuce, +the lappets of which are also visible beyond the long +sleeves of the surplice.</p> + +<p>The two following are among the finest extant:</p> + +<p>John Sleford, Balsham, Cambs., 1401, was Rector +of Balsham, Master of the Wardrobe to Edward III, +Chaplain to Queen Philippa, Canon of Wells and +later of Ripon, Archdeacon of Wells, etc. The whole +composition measures 8½ ft. × 4½ ft., and the figure is +5 ft. 2 in. long. The triple canopy supports a shrine +which is divided in half. The lower portion shows +the soul of the deceased supported in a sheet by two +angels. He is being borne up to the Holy Trinity, +who are represented in the upper story. Two +seraphim are poised on the finials of the two side +arches.</p> + +<p>The shields are: dexter, quarterly Old France +and England; sinister, the same impaling Hainault. +The arms of the See of Ely (three crowns) are shown +on the third shield, and the fourth is lost.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_37">37</span></p> + +<p>Down the orphreys of the cope are depicted five +pairs of saints under embattled canopies: St Mary +and St John Baptist; St John the Evangelist and +St Etheldreda; St Catherine and St Peter; St Paul +and St Margaret; St Mary Magdalene and St Wilfred. +The sacred monogram I. S. is shown on the +morse and also on two roundels.</p> + +<p>The other brass is equally fine and measures +8 ft. 9 in. × 4 ft. 1 in.</p> + +<p>John Blodwell was Dean of St Asaph, Prebend +of Lichfield and of Hereford, Canon of St David’s +and Rector of Balsham. His canopy is of a different +type to Sleford’s. It has a single arch resting on +broad shafts, in each of which are four niches with +saints. The cope has saints down the orphreys which +are rather worn. The whole surface is adorned with +lions’ heads. The inscription is in a dialogue between +Blodwell and his guardian angel. The Dean’s words +are in relief.</p> + +<p>The alb and amice are substituted for surplice +and almuce at Horsham, 1411, Upwell, 1428 and +1435, Beeford, Yorks., 1472, Hitchin, 1498, and +Rauceby, 1536.</p> + +<p>Canons of Windsor, instead of a cope, wore the +mantle of the Order of the Garter. It has a small +cross on the left shoulder and is found on the brasses +of Roger Parker (headless demi), Northstroke, Oxon., +1370; Unknown, Bennington, Herts, (mutilated, an +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_38">38</span>ordinary cope with badge on shoulder), c. 1450; Roger +Lupton, Eton College, 1540; Arthur Cole, Magdalen +College, Oxford, 1558.</p> + + +<p class="center"><i>Academic Dress.</i></p> + +<p>There are a considerable number of brasses +showing the academic dress, in all 75 to 80.</p> + +<p>About one-third are at Oxford and Cambridge, +and the rest are widely scattered. The distinction +between the various degrees being usually made by +the colour and material rather than by the shape +renders the task of differentiating difficult.</p> + +<p>The academic tabard without sleeves, the cape or +tippet, and the hood are usually worn over a cassock, +as on the brasses of Thos. Mason, M.A., of Magdalen, +Oxford, 1501, and of John London, M.A., S.T.P., of +New College, Oxford, 1508. Sometimes the academic +tabard has short sleeves.</p> + +<p>The taberdium talare is longer and probably +implies a B.D., though it is worn by others who had +not this degree. Good examples are to be seen on +the brasses of John Bloxham, B.D., Merton College, +Oxford, c. 1420 (with John Whytton on bracket) (see +Chap. XIV), and of Wm. Blakwey, Little Wilbraham, +Cambs (kn.), 1521.</p> + +<p>D.D.’s have the <i>cappa clausa</i>. This is a plain, +sleeveless gown, and the arms appear through a +single opening, which only reaches to the waist. +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_39">39</span>The tippet is usually of fur, and a cap is worn. The +latter is either a skull cap or raised one or two +inches and brought to a low point in the centre. +The first type is shown in the brass of Dr Billingford, +St Bene’t’s, Cambridge, 1432; the second in the brass +of Dr Towne, at King’s College, Cambridge, 1496.</p> + +<p>Doctors of other faculties wear the cap and +pallium, a long gown similar to the taberdium talare. +It must not be confounded with the pallium of an +archbishop. Many academic persons wear the cope +or almuce, sometimes with the doctor’s cap. There +are a few academic brasses of Elizabethan and +Jacobean date. They usually show the long, civilian +gown of the period. From it has developed the +present University gown, which has not sprung from +the ancient tabard.</p> + + +<p class="center"><i>Bishops.</i></p> + +<p>Bishops and Mitred Abbots wore the mass vestments +of the priests with certain additions. The +tunicle and dalmatic were worn below the chasuble. +The former is often of the same length as the +dalmatic and so cannot be seen. Sandals adorned +with jewels and gloves similarly ornamented were +usually worn. The episcopal ring had a single precious +stone.</p> + +<p>The mitre and crozier are perhaps the most +characteristic vestments. The earliest mitres were +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_40">40</span>low with plain edges; they gradually became higher +and crockets were added to the sides of the horns. +In brasses the extreme height to which they developed +is not shown. They were made of plain linen, of +embroidered linen and of precious metals. Two +narrow strips of silk called “infulae” hung down +from the back of the mitre. These can be seen in +the brasses at York and East Horsley.</p> + +<p>The crozier and pastoral staff are the same, the +cross staff of the archbishop is not really a crozier +at all. The latter represents the shepherd’s crook. +A scarf was often fastened to the knob below the +crook. It was called either an “infula”—like the +ribbons of a mitre—or “vexillum.” The latter name +refers to the Cross banner of Constantine.</p> + +<p>Croziers and mitres are depicted long after vestments +had fallen into disuse. The last crozier, 1631, +is at Chigwell, Essex. Mitres are found even later, +but are probably used as a crest.</p> + +<p>Archbishops generally hold the cross staff instead +of a crozier and wear the <i>pall</i>. It was simply a +narrow loop of white lamb’s wool placed round the +neck and with a weighted band hanging down before +and behind.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp47" id="fig15_p041" style="max-width: 40em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/fig15_p041.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + Fig. 15.

Cranley, 1417, clearly shows all the vestments; +his cross, as was often the case, was a +crucifix.

The mitred abbots wore exactly similar +robes.</p> + +<p>Bishop Wyvil of Salisbury, in three-quarter length, +1375, is shown within a battlemented castle with +his champion standing under the gate beneath. This +commemorates his recovery of Sherborne Castle for +his See.</p> + +<p>The Edenham brass (c. 1500) was formerly in a +panel on the outer face of the church tower, 40 feet +from the ground. It is now inside the church. +Probably it represents St Thomas à Becket, the +patron saint of the donor of the tower.</p> + +<p>Bishop Goodryke of Ely, 1554, wrote “My duty +towards my neighbour,” and holds the prayer book +in his hand. He also holds the Great Seal, as he was +formerly Lord Chancellor. Both he and Bishop +Bell died during the reign of Mary, which might +be considered sufficient explanation of their wearing +vestments. Bishop Pursglove, however, whose brass +is at Tideswell, died in the middle of Elizabeth’s +reign.</p> + +<p>The fact is that vestments only gradually fell into +disuse. They were undoubtedly worn by some of +the clergy right into the seventeenth century.</p> + +<p>The figure of John Bell at St James’s, Clerkenwell, +the lower part of which is lost, was sold in 1788 when +the old church was pulled down. It passed into the +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_43">43</span>collection of Mr J. B. Nichols and on his death was +replaced in the new church.</p> + +<p>The vestments in which the king is crowned are +largely of an ecclesiastical nature. They include the +dalmatic, the surcoat, the belt, the stole and a surplice +without sleeves. On monuments, kings are shown +wearing a long tunic with close sleeves, a cloak, or +cope, and a tippet of ermine. The only <i>brass</i> is a +demi-figure, c. 1440, at Wimborne Minster, Dorset, +laid down in memory of King Ethelred, martyred +872 <span class="allsmcap">A.D.</span> He is crowned and holds a sceptre.</p> + + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> +<div class="chapter"> + <h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_VI"> + CHAPTER VI + <br><span class="sm"> + THE MONASTERIES + </span></h2> +</div> + + +<p>The influence of the monasteries during the +Middle Ages was considerable, and it was in them +that the lamp of learning and art was kept burning. +The causes which led to their destruction would be +too long a matter to discuss here. In justice we +must say that the charges of gross immorality levied +against the monks were neither fair nor were they +the real reason for the dissolution of the monasteries.</p> + +<p>The last monastery had fallen by 1540. In most +cases the churches were destroyed, and even when +they were preserved the brasses were taken from +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_44">44</span>the gravestones and sold by the Commissioners who +confiscated the property.</p> + +<p>Thus at St Albans there were over 270 brasses, +and now there are hardly a dozen. In all England +there are barely 30 monastic brasses left. They +include seven monks and a friar, two abbesses, a +prior and five vowesses, besides one or two doubtful +examples.</p> + +<p>Besides the three abbots already mentioned as +showing episcopal vestments, there are four mutilated +fragments on the reverse of palimpsests (see +below). These will be given in the list of palimpsests.</p> + +<p>The dress of a monk included the tunic, an undergarment, +with the gown over it, the scapula and cowl +or hood. The tonsure is much larger than that of +a parish priest.</p> + +<p>Abbot John Lawrence at Burwell, 1542, was +originally shown in full vestments, but as he survived +the dissolution his brass was changed. He +now appears in cassock, surplice and almuce. The +upper part of the figure is new, but the lower shows +on the reverse the original engraving. There is a +canopy, part of which is palimpsest and shows, on +the reverse, part of a deacon, c. 1320.</p> + +<p>The Benedictines were by far the richest and +largest of the Orders. The Cluniacs were a reformed +order of Benedictines. The chief difference +<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_45"></a><a id="Page_46"></a>46</span>was that each monastery was under the direct supervision +of Cluny, and not of the mother monastery +from which it sprung. In England there was an +exception and Lewes stood in the position of Cluny +to the other English Cluniac monasteries. It alone +was directly under Cluny.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp51" id="fig16_p045" style="max-width: 40em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/fig16_p045.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + Fig. 16.

She appears +in the first act of <i>Richard II</i>. Her brass lies on +an altar tomb in St Edmund’s Chapel, Westminster +Abbey. Her heraldic badge—the swan—adorns the +inscription and the central pediment of her triple +<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_47"></a><a id="Page_48"></a>48</span>canopy. Five armorial shields still hang from the +shafts, but the sixth is lost. The pinnacle between +the central and the sinister arch is now lost, but +was still intact when this rubbing was taken.

The dissolution of the monasteries led to +thousands of brasses being sold for old metal, both +from the churches destroyed and from those that +were allowed to remain. In 1551 an order was issued +confiscating all the church plate. It is therefore not +surprising that great numbers of brasses were stolen. +It is noteworthy that Elizabeth disapproved of these +proceedings and ordered that fresh plate should be +procured, and that the damaged monuments should +be restored. The stolen brasses often went into the +melting pot, but sometimes they were re-engraved and +used to commemorate contemporary persons.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_49">49</span></p> + +<p>Palimpsests are produced in three ways:</p> + +<blockquote> +<p>I. By engraving the back of the brasses.</p> + +<p>II. By re-engraving and altering the figures.</p> + +<p>III. By simply substituting a fresh inscription.</p> +</blockquote> + +<p>Those contained in the first group are probably +the most numerous, and are subdivided into three +groups:</p> + +<p>(<i>a</i>) Plunder from English churches at the Reformation; +(<i>b</i>) plunder from Flemish churches at the +same period; (<i>c</i>) shop-wastes and earlier stolen +brasses.</p> + +<p>The Flemish or German brasses, about 50 in +number, were probably plunder from the Dutch +churches, which were sacked by the Calvinists in +1566. So complete was the destruction wrought in +that short week that to-day there are fewer complete +Flemish brasses in their original home than there +are fragments of Flemish brasses in England. (See +Appendix.)</p> + +<p>The reverses vary considerably in date and subject. +Those laid down from 1540-1570 show that +even before the great outbreak of iconoclasm of +1566 a good many brasses had been stolen.</p> + +<p>Taillor at Hadleigh, in Suffolk, was burnt during +the Marian persecution in 1555, and an inscription +was laid down in 1560. The reverse, c. 1500, shows +the head and shoulders and hands of a civilian on +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_50">50</span>a diapered background with certain other details. +The Margate brass, 1582, shows on the reverse +scenes from the life of man. One is of a child +catching butterflies, and the other, two boys walking +on stilts.</p> + +<p>Besides these groups there is a third type consisting +mostly of shop-wastes, i.e. sometimes a brass +which had been ordered was not approved; the +engraver then either melted it down or re-engraved +it on the other side. Also, brasses were stolen and +sold to the brass engravers, who would use them +again in the same way. Many of these are quite +early and often only a few years separate the engravings +on the two sides.</p> + +<p>In a few cases the same person is depicted with +certain details altered. John Lawrence of Burwell +has already been mentioned.</p> + +<p>The demi-figure of Thos. Cod, St Margaret’s, +Rochester, 1465, is a striking example. The reverse +shows him in almuce and cope, but for some unknown +reason this apparently was disapproved. He +is therefore shown on the obverse with an amice in +place of the almuce.</p> + +<p>A late example is at Walton-on-Thames. John +Selwyn, 1587, was Gentleman Keeper of the Royal +Park at Oatlands. At a stag-hunt in the presence of +Elizabeth he leapt from his horse on to the back of +the stag when both were going at full speed. There +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_51">51</span>he kept his seat, with his sword guided the animal +towards the Queen, and then plunged the steel into +its throat so that it fell dead at her feet.</p> + +<p>This is depicted on a small plate placed between +the heads of Selwyn and his wife. The subject is +engraved on both sides. The reverse was lightly +sketched and was rejected. It shows him hatless +holding the stag’s right horn.</p> + +<p>The two remaining groups, II and III, are much +less numerous. Group II consists of figures which +have been altered.</p> + +<p>Examples of this kind are Robt. Hanson, 1545, +Chalfont St Peters, Bucks., altered (by adding +shading, etc.) from a priest, 1440. Humphrey Oker +and wife, 1538, Okeover, Staffs., altered from Wm. +Lord Zouche and two wives, c. 1447. The figure of +one wife was left intact and the other was turned +over and engraved with the children and an oak-tree +bearing a shield.</p> + +<p>There are a few other examples, but perhaps the +most interesting is that to Walter Curzon and wife, +Waterperry, Oxon., 1527, altered from c. 1445. A +new head and shoulders were engraved, the palettes +were partly erased and shading was added on arms, +cuirass and legs. The taces have been re-engraved +to form a skirt of mail. The ends of the shoes have +been partly erased and the toes rounded. The upper +half of the lady is Tudor, the lower half has had +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_52">52</span>shading added to the lines, and a chain hanging from +the belt added.</p> + +<p>Group III consists of appropriate brasses which +have not been re-engraved. A new inscription, and +sometimes shields, are merely added.</p> + +<p>Good examples of this group are the brasses of +Sir John Dyve, 1535, wife and mother, Bromham, +Beds., appropriated from Thos. Wideville and two +wives under triple canopy, c. 1435; John Wybarne +(in armour), c. 1546, Ticehurst, Sussex, appropriated +from c. 1370; Laughton, Lincs., 1549, man under +triple canopy, appropriated from c. 1400; Joan ffenner, +1516, Horley, Surrey, appropriated from c. 1420, +with fine canopy.</p> + +<p>There are several other examples and they must +be carefully distinguished from those brasses which +have been <i>copied</i> from an earlier brass, as has +happened in the effigy of Peter Rede at St Peter +Mancroft, Norwich.</p> + + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> +<div class="chapter"> + <h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_VII"> + CHAPTER VII + <br><span class="sm"> + THE EARLY TUDORS. 1485-1547 + </span></h2> +</div> + + +<p>During this period more brasses were laid down +than in the whole of the preceding time.

There is a greater variety of design, +but many are in bad taste, such as figures shown in +shrouds or as skeletons.

The Yorkist armour is changed to the +Tudor between 1490 and 1500. Its characteristics +are that the placates are omitted, the pauldrons are +single and have passe-gards to protect the neck, +shorter tuilles are attached to the taces, a skirt of +mail has been re-introduced and reaches well down +over the thighs. The graceful, pointed sollerets—which +must have been rather uncomfortable—were +replaced by sabbatons with large rounded or square +toes.</p> + +<p>The sword is usually hung across the back of the +legs. The hair is long and straight. Most of these +and other characteristics will be seen in the illustration +of John Shelley and wife, Clapham, Sussex, 1526. The +Tabard of Arms covers the body armour.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp49" id="fig18_p054" style="max-width: 40em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/fig18_p054.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + Fig. 18.

There still survives a considerable +amount of actual armour of this period, and from it +we can see that it was often truly magnificent. At +times it was engraved and embossed, and there are +several variations not shown in the brasses, such as +the skirt of plate. Those interested in the subject +should study the fine collections at the Tower of +London and elsewhere. It is most fortunate that our +national collection of armour was begun just when +the brasses by deterioration began to furnish less +trustworthy evidence. Of the armour previous to +the Yorkist period, practically none survives, hence +the importance of the good engraving of the earlier +brasses. (See Appendix.)</p> + +<p>Serjeants-at-arms usually carry maces.</p> + +<p>One of the most characteristic features of the +period is the armorial tabard. Often, too, the wife has +an armorial mantle: as in the brass of John Shelley +and his wife, 1526, Clapham, Sussex, here shown. The +arms are repeated on Shelley’s sleeves and his wife +bears her own arms impaling those of her husband on +her mantle. The Holy Trinity is shown above the +figures.</p> + +<p>The tabard replaced the heraldic jupon of the +Plantagenets during the Lancastrian period. The +earliest is to John Wantele, 1424, Amberley, Sussex, +but the arms are not repeated on the sleeves. There +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_56">56</span>are but few examples, however, till the Yorkist period, +and they only became plentiful under the Tudors. +They died out in the opening years of Elizabeth, the +last being to Sir John Tregonwell, Milton Abbey, +Dorset, 1565.</p> + +<p>Examples of Tabards of Arms during the Yorkist +period are: Sir John Say and wife, Broxbourne, +Herts., 1473, and Philip Mede and two wives, St Mary, +Redcliff.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp38" id="fig19_p057" style="max-width: 40em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/fig19_p057.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + Fig. 19. + Lady Tiptoft (Partly covered), + c. 1470, Enfield, Middlesex + </figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>Lady Tiptoft at Enfield, Middlesex, c. 1470 (here +illustrated), is a very splendid brass, and shows the +armorial bearings well. (See Appendix.)</p> + +<p>The colour of the coats-of-arms was probably shown +by means of lead for <i>argent</i>, coloured earths for <i>colour</i>, +and the plain brass for <i>or</i>. At Ardingley, Sussex, are +three brasses in all of which the coloured earth is still +in place. Unless this has been replaced later, it is a +striking example, for in most cases all trace of the +coloured earths has vanished. At Broxbourne, real +enamel was used (as also at Stoke d’Abernon, 1279), +and in consequence most of the colour is still in +place.</p> + +<p>It is held by some that all engraved lines on all +brasses were filled in with black wax or some similar +substance, just as in our modern inscriptions. That +this was so in some cases seems certain, and at the +Victoria and Albert Museum in the foreign brass to +Henry Oskens (canon) from Nippes, near Cologne, +<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_57"></a><a id="Page_58"></a>58</span>1535, much of the wax is still there. It is, of course, +impossible to make a good rubbing of such a brass.</p> + +<p>It does not seem likely that most of the brasses +were so treated, but it would take too long to go into +all the evidence which leads one to hold this view, +nor is it desirable to use it now.</p> + +<p>The ladies’ dress also changes at the same time as +their husbands’. The butterfly head-dress gives way +to the kennel head-dress. This has a stiff point in front +and is carried back like the roof of a kennel (hence +the name) and has long side lappets, usually of +embroidery. In some of the earlier examples these +are pinned up (Ardingley), but, as a rule, they fall +straight down (Clapham).</p> + +<p>The dress is close-fitting and has a square collar +and fur cuffs. Round the waist is a girdle with a +chain pendant in front, to which is attached an ornament +of varying shape. Occasionally mantles are +worn, as at Cobham, Kent, but seldom, except when +they bear a coat-of-arms.</p> + +<p>Quite often babies will be found wrapped in +chrysoms with swaddling bands round them. This +robe was placed on the child by the priest as soon as +it was baptised (which was when it was only a few +days old). It was worn till the mother came to be +churched, when it was returned to the priest. These +brasses therefore show that the child died during the +time that elapsed between baptism and the churching. +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_59">59</span>Chrysom children are +found alone or with +parents. This type of +brass survived till the +middle of the seventeenth +century.</p> + +<p>Occasionally brasses +are found commemorating +women who died +in childbirth. The infant +is then usually +shown in a chrysom +robe, and in later +brasses the mother is +often shown lying on +a four-post bedstead. +Anne Asteley, Blickling, +Norfolk, 1512, probably +belongs to this group. +During the reign of +Elizabeth, several examples +of bedstead +brasses are found. The +first is at Heston, +Middlesex, 1581, another +is at Halling, +Kent, 1587, and there +are several others.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_60">60</span></p> + +<p>The civilians at this period are numerous, but not +particularly interesting. The hair is long and straight, +the gown reaches to the feet and is usually lined and +edged with fur. The sleeves are wide, and a girdle +surrounds the waist, from which hangs a short rosary +and a purse. Broad-toed shoes are worn. The brass +at Ardingley shows this dress, the canopy is an unusual +feature.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp36" id="fig20_p059" style="max-width: 40em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/fig20_p059.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + Fig. 20.

The hair +is parted in front and a linen cap supports a bonnet, +often of velvet and having a jewelled edge. It is +generally of horseshoe shape. A kerchief hangs down +over the neck and shoulders behind. This head-dress +is continued during the reign of Elizabeth and was +known as the Queen Mary cap, at first after Mary +Tudor, and later after Mary Stuart. The sleeves are +slashed and puffed at the shoulders and from the belt +hangs a mirror or other ornament. The collar is +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_62">62</span>thrown open and reveals a gathered underbodice. +A long cloak with false sleeves is often found, and +heraldic mantles are still worn when the husband +appears in a tabard.

The Elizabethan brasses +(with which are included those of James I) are +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_63">63</span>decidedly better in many instances than those of the +Transitional period. Even some of the Caroline +examples are better than those laid down between +1547 and 1558.</p> + +<p>Early in the reign of Elizabeth, the plate of brass +itself began to be manufactured in England. It was +usually thin, however, and the engraving as in the +Transitional brasses was shallow and too much detail +and shading were attempted. The thinness of metal +led to their becoming battered and worn and they +are often in far worse condition than those laid down +a couple of centuries earlier.</p> + +<p>Many brasses were, however, fixed to the walls +and these are in a much better state of preservation. +These sometimes take the form of rectangular plates: +at times the figures are fixed against the wall in a +recess over a tomb. They are then usually depicted +kneeling at desks.</p> + +<p>The new style of armour which took the place of +that worn in the Transitional period became finally +established by 1575. Its main characteristics are +these: The use of the long-waisted doublet and the +short hose rendered the old style of armour unwearable. +The cuirass becomes long and is brought +forward to a peak with a projecting rim. It is known +as a “peascod.” The pauldrons are large and have no +ridges, they are lined with leather the escalloped edge +of which is allowed to extend beyond the plates. The +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_64">64</span>neck is encircled by a ruff, as are the wrists. The +helmet is seldom worn, but is often placed behind the +head, though the figure is depicted standing.</p> + +<p>Kneeling figures in many cases have the helmet +on the ground, together with the gauntlets.</p> + +<p>The front of the thighs are protected by laminated +cuissarts under the trunk hose, and the legs by knee-caps +and greaves. The sollerets are of a more graceful +shape and fit the feet closely. Two long tassets are +buckled to the edge of the cuirass, and hang down +over the trunk hose. They are all formed of several +hinged plates and take the place of tuilles. They are +not infrequently rounded at the lower edge and are +fastened by straps to the breeches. The sword hangs +at the left side from a leather belt and the dagger at +the right side from a sash. Swords usually possess +guarded hilts.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp44" id="fig21_p065" style="max-width: 40em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/fig21_p065.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + Fig. 21. John Wingfield, 1584, Easton, Suffolk + </figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>The illustration of Wingfield, Easton, Suffolk, shows +these characteristics, and there are but few variations. +The most noticeable is where, the puffed breeches not +being worn, continuous plates from knee to cuirass +protect the legs. This type is shown in the brasses of +Thos. Hawkins, Boughton-under-Blean, Kent, 1587, +and Thos. Nevynson and wife, Eastry, Kent, 1590.</p> + +<p>It is remarkable how, in spite of gunpowder being +in general use, the men of the age of Elizabeth were +still encased in a panoply of plate.</p> + +<p>The ladies fall naturally into two divisions. The +<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_65"></a><a id="Page_66"></a>66</span>Transitional form, or Queen Mary dress, changed +about 1560. The gown is fastened only at the waist +by a sash, and thus shows below an embroidered or +quilted petticoat. Between the bodice and the throat, +the bust is covered by a gathered partlet with a frill +and the Paris bonnet continues in use. From about +1575 a new style comes into vogue and is well shown +in the illustration of the wife of Wm. Wade, Bildeston, +Suffolk, 1599. Her skirt is distended at the hips by +the farthingale and shows the embroidered petticoat +beneath. The sleeves are slashed and a large ruff is +round the neck. Usually frills are also worn at the +wrists, but here Alice Wade is an exception. A broad-brimmed +hat is worn.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp53" id="fig22_p067" style="max-width: 40em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/fig22_p067.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + Fig. 22. Alice, wife of William Wade, 1599, Bildeston, Suffolk + </figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>There are several variations. The lappet of the +bonnet is sometimes turned up over the head, and +when it comes far enough forward to shade the face, +it is called a “Shadow.” At the end of the period, a +large veil was substituted. Sometimes the hair is +brushed up to a lace crown, supported by a wire +frame. This fashion is shown in the brass of Margt. +Chute, Marden, Hereford, 1614. She wears besides +the wheel farthingale, a peaked stomacher, and a +starched collar ornamented with point lace.</p> + +<p>The bedstead brasses have already been mentioned +in reference to the chrysom children, but are really a +peculiarity of this period.</p> + +<p>The civilian costume is not over-interesting, because +<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_67"></a><a id="Page_68"></a>68</span>doublet and hose are usually covered by a long +gown, such as is seen in the memorial to Wm. Dunche +and wife, quadrilateral plate, Little Wittenham, +Berks., engraved c. 1585. Here husband and wife +kneel at desks under two classical arches. Two sons +kneel behind their father. They wear short cloaks, +doublet and hose. This is also the costume of the +sons of Alice Wade, who wear pointed beards.</p> + +<p>The brasses of children, especially boys, become +fairly numerous and are not without interest, as they +exhibit the doublet and hose under a short cloak. +The brass of W. Browne, Holton, Oxon., 1599, is a +good example, showing the long hose fastened above +the knee by garters of ribbon.</p> + +<p>The clergy for the most part wear the ordinary +civilian dress of the day without cassock or surplice, +and a long gown with long sleeves, known as the +Geneva gown. Some also wear a hood to denote they +hold a degree, as does Dr Wm. Bill, Dean of Westminster, +Westminster Abbey, 1561.</p> + +<p>Of clergy in surplice and cassock only two brasses +now survive. Formerly at Denham, Bucks., there was +one portraying Leonard Hurst, 1561, in cassock and +surplice opening in front like a college surplice and a +long scarf. It is now lost, but is illustrated in Haine’s +<i>Manual</i>. The two that still survive are Wm. Dye +(priest), Westerham, Kent, 1567, who wears cassock, +a closed and gathered surplice and a scarf, and +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_69">69</span>Nich. Asheton, Winchford, Warwick, 1582, very similar +to the lost brass at Denham, Bucks.</p> + +<p>The remaining clergy are in civilian costume, but +one or two wear a scarf over the Geneva gown, as at +Stonham Aspal, 1606.</p> + +<p>In many cases the title of the ecclesiastic is given, +and these are of some interest. (See Appendix.)</p> + +<p>Tyndall’s figure is 5 ft. 4 in. long and there is a +border fillet and several shields.</p> + +<p>There are three bishops, but Robt. Pursglove, +1579, is in full mass vestments, and has been mentioned +before.</p> + +<p>Edmund Geste, Bishop of Salisbury, in his +Cathedral, 1578, wears rochet and chimere, a scarf +and lawn sleeves. Instead of a crozier, he holds a +walking stick in his right and a book in his left hand. +It should be remembered that this was the outdoor +garb, hence probably the walking stick.</p> + +<p>H. Robinson, Bishop of Carlisle, 1616, has two +brasses, that at Queen’s College, Oxford, being +copied and put over his grave in Carlisle Cathedral. +His brass, like Airay’s, who succeeded him as Provost +of Queen’s, differs from the usual type. They resemble +the copper plates used in books and are very finely +engraved and filled with many additional emblems. +A good rubbing cannot be taken owing to the thinness +of the engraving, which nevertheless is well done.</p> + +<p>On a quadrilateral plate, Robinson kneels in front +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_70">70</span>of Queen’s College and Carlisle Cathedral. There are +three sheep folds to signify he was a shepherd to his +flock. Several peasants with their tools and in the +dress of the period stand in one corner and dons are +entering Queen’s College in the other. He wears a +skull cap and ruff, rochet and chimere. In his left +hand he holds his crozier, which has a human eye in +the centre, and a stork on the outer curve of the +volute. The infula is a napkin and bears the word +“Velando.”</p> + +<p>From the Elizabethan period some attempt at +portraiture is made: in the case of Robinson and +Airay with considerable success. The brass to +Erasmus Williams, Rector at Tingewick, Bucks., 1608, +is probably by the same hand as these two and is +signed R. Haydock. It is very similar in general +treatment to them, and on Airay’s brass are the same +initials R.

The brass consists of two +large rectangular plates and though too much shading +is put in, yet is a good example for the period.</p> + +<p>The ladies have abandoned the farthingale and +wear more graceful gowns, sometimes with ruffs and +sometimes with falling collars. A light veil often +covers the head. Sometimes the embroidered petticoat +can be seen underneath the gown, which is +divided in front. An example is to be found at +Ardingley, Sussex, to Eliz. Culpeper, aged 7, 1634, +and also in a larger brass to her mother.</p> + +<p>The civilians are still fairly numerous, but the +engraving is usually poor.

The metal was to be an inch thick and to +be rivetted right through the stone so that it could +not easily be torn up. The result is a fine monument. +He wears cope, rochet, chimere and a mitre. He +holds his crozier in his left hand and a book in the +right. The face is evidently a portrait. There is a +border inscription with the evangelists at the corners. +The figure is 6 ft. long. The crozier is not a cross, +but a crook and has a rose in the volute.</p> + +<p>During the Commonwealth naturally few brasses +were laid down, and the distrust with which all +representations of the human form were regarded +by the Puritans, who considered them a breach of +the Second Commandment, probably gave the death +blow to the failing art. Besides those already mentioned, +the following have been noticed: Ralph +Assheton (in armour) and wife, Middleton, Lancs., +1650; Adam Beaumont (in armour) and wife, Kirkheaton, +Yorks., 1655. These are the only men in +armour. Assheton was a leader on the Puritan side +and did good service. Beaumont was his son-in-law +and is clad in similar style. The armour is a demi-suit, +consisting of skirted cuirass, pauldrons, elbow-pieces +and laminar cuissarts extending to the top of +his tall boots. +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_75">75</span>There is no actual representations of a cleric, but Dan. +Evance, rector, quadrilateral plate, Calbourne, I.o.W., +1652 is commemorated by a plate with a drawing of +Time and Death.</p> + +<p>Most of these are but miserable caricatures and +reveal the final stage of decay. Yet they are not +without interest, though perhaps a melancholy one.</p> + +<p>During the Caroline period many brasses to young +children were laid down. Sometimes the babe is +shown lying on a tomb, at others it is represented +in its cradle. Two in St George’s Chapel, Windsor, +may be quoted, and commemorate the children of +Dr John King. They are dated 1630 and 1633.</p> + + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> +<div class="chapter"> + <h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_XI"> + CHAPTER XI + <br><span class="sm"> + THE LAST BRASSES. 1660-1773 + </span></h2> +</div> + + +<p>The last few brasses are of little artistic value. +(See Appendix.)</p> + +<p>Robt.

Those representing +Scriptural subjects are perhaps the most interesting. +They are less numerous than might be expected and +usually form part of a canopy, or, at any rate, part +of a composition which includes large figures.</p> + +<p>The Holy Trinity is the most common emblem +and is depicted as a venerable man seated, holding +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_77">77</span>Christ crucified. The Holy Ghost in the form of a +dove is sometimes perched on one arm of the Cross, +or hovers over the head, but it is often omitted.</p> + +<p>The Holy Trinity is found at Cobham, 1407; +Peperharrow, 1487; Shirburn, 1493, and Witney, +Oxon., 1500; Childrey, Berks., 1507; Floore, Northants., +1510; Wooburn, Bucks., 1520; Clapham, Sussex, +1526; Beaumaris, Anglesea, c. 1530; Cheam, Surrey, +1542.</p> + +<p>The Virgin is found at Cobham, 1395; Bottesford, +Leics., 1404; Morley, Derbys., 1470; Etwall, Derbys., +1512; St George’s Chapel, Windsor, 1522; and elsewhere.</p> + +<p>Numerous other saints are depicted as well as +those in canopy niches and on the orphreys of copes.</p> + +<p>The Annunciation is found in several places. +That at Fovant, Wilts., 1492, is contained in a rectangular +plate commemorating Geo. Rede, rector. +He wears cassock and scarf, kneels on a chequered +pavement and prays to the Virgin, who, dressed in +mantle, sideless <i>cote-hardi</i> and kirtle, with a wreath +of roses on her head, kneels at a <i>prie-dieu</i> in the +centre of the plate. A pot of lilies stands behind +her and an angel kneels on the further side, wearing +an alb and mantle. The Dove flies towards the +Virgin from a cloud in the corner. The whole +composition is reminiscent of foreign work, but is +almost certainly English. An Annunciation is to be +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_78">78</span>seen at March, Cambs. (1517), above the figures of +Antony Hansart and his wife. A third is in the +canopy of William Porter, S.T.P., 1524, Hereford +Cathedral.</p> + +<p>The Adoration of the Shepherds is found at +Cobham, Surrey, c. 1500.</p> + +<p>The Resurrection is more widely distributed, and +in two forms according as (<i>a</i>) there are or (<i>b</i>) are +not soldiers round the tomb.</p> + +<p>Of class (<i>a</i>), those at Swansea, c. 1500; Cranley, +Surrey, 1503; All Hallows, Barking, c. 1510; and +Narburgh, Norfolk, 1545, are characteristic.</p> + +<p>Of class (<i>b</i>), examples may be seen at Stoke +Charity, Hants., 1482; Stoke Lyne, Oxon., 1535 and +Burwell, Cambs., 1542. Of this latter class, the +Burwell brass is the best. The Saviour’s form is +unclothed and the lower half hidden within the tomb; +His hands are raised and He holds no cross.</p> + +<p>Class (<i>a</i>) is the more interesting. The Cranley +and Swansea representations are the best. In the +former, which is to Robt. Hardyng and his wife, 1503, +Christ steps from the sarcophagus unclothed save +for a loin cloth. Four out of the five wounds are +thus plainly shown. He holds a cross (in His left +hand) bearing a pennon, with a cross in its centre. +A nimbus is around His head. The four soldiers are +clad in armour with morions on their heads and +halberts in their hands.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_79">79</span></p> + +<p>The Swansea representation measures 12 × 11 +inches and is to Sir Hugh Johnys and his wife, c. 1500. +He was a knight of the Holy Sepulchre, and fought +against the Turks under John, at that time Emperor +of Constantinople. One of the soldiers round the +tomb evidently represents a Saracen. He is shown +sleeping with a scimitar at his left, a spiked mace at +his right side.</p> + +<p>One other curious pictorial example must not be +omitted. It represents the Mass of St Gregory. +The Pope kneels before an altar, while the figure of +our Lord rises from behind the chalice, changed +from the consecrated wafer. It is in the brass of +Roger Legh and wife (lost), Macclesfield, Cheshire, +1506, and is unique. The original story is in the +<i>Golden Legend</i>.</p> + + +<p class="center"><i>Heart Brasses.</i></p> + +<p>The next curious type is that known as Heart +Brasses. A heart is often shown held in the hands +of the deceased, as at Buslingthorpe, Lincs., c. 1290. +At other times it is found quite separate from the +figure and often with two or three inscribed scrolls +coming from it. Thos. Knyghtley, Fawsley, Northants., +1516, is typical of this class.</p> + +<p>But the name applies more especially to those +monuments in which the heart appears alone. +Often these doubtless marked the spot where the +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_80">80</span>heart alone was buried. We have many authentic +records of men who ordered their hearts to be buried +apart from their bodies. Some of these were knights +who perished abroad and ordered their bodies to be +buried where they died, but their hearts to be brought +back to England. From the inscription upon one +of the four scrolls of the Wiggenhall brass, <i>Cuius +cor hic humatur</i>, we may reasonably infer that the +heart only lies beneath the stone. There are several +stone monuments showing only hearts, which records +prove cover only that organ. Thus, Sir Thos. +Neville’s body was buried at Billing, 1535, and his +heart at Mereworth, Kent. At the latter place his +stone monument consists of a heart held by two +hands.</p> + +<p>Heart brasses proper fall into two main divisions: +(<i>a</i>) plain, sometimes inscribed or with scrolls, (<i>b</i>) held +by hands, usually coming out of a cloud.</p> + +<p>Class (<i>a</i>) includes Thos. Smyth, priest, St John’s, +Margate, Kent, 1433; an unknown person, Kirby +Bedon, Norfolk, c. 1450; and Sir Robt. Kervile, +Wiggenhall St Mary, Norfolk, c. 1450.</p> + +<p>Good representatives of class (<i>b</i>) are the brasses +of John Merstun, priest, Lillingstone Lovell, Oxon., +1446; Wm. Stapilton, Helbroughton, Norfolk, c. 1450; +Dionysius Willys, Loddon, Norfolk, 1462; and Thos. +Denton, Caversfield, Bucks., 1533. (See Appendix.)</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_81">81</span></p> + + +<p class="center"><i>Shrouds.</i></p> + +<p>These and the following group are neither beautiful +nor pleasing monuments. They are signs of the +morbid feeling that seems to have begun to spread +over England about the middle of the fifteenth +century and which did not pass away until the +nineteenth.</p> + +<p>Many stone monuments exist showing reclining +figures in the costume of the period on a raised +tomb, while beneath, visible through openings in the +sides, are the same persons shown as skeletons or +shrouded figures. This contrast is seldom exhibited +in <i>brasses</i>, but the kneeling figure of Lionel Dymoke, +Horncastle, Lincs. (1519), in armour, is engraved +upon a small plate on the wall, while on the pavement +below he is represented by a shrouded figure.</p> + +<p>In some cases the brass was laid down on the +death of one of those commemorated. The latter +is then shown in a shroud, while those who survived +are shown in the dress of the period.</p> + +<p>Women can be recognised by their long, flowing +hair, and priests by their tonsure. The purpose of +this type of brass was probably to remind us that +“such as we are, such shall ye be.” (See Appendix.)</p> + +<p>Under the Tudors, this type of brass increased in +favour, and its persistence is remarkable. +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_82">82</span>The last brass of 1660 was probably inspired by the +earlier one of 1505.</p> + +<p>At Childrey, c. 1520, husband and wife rise from +their tombs, but at Oddington devouring worms crawl +out of the body, which is almost a skeleton.</p> + +<p>This leads us to</p> + + +<p class="center"><i>Skeletons.</i></p> + +<p>They are not so common as shroud brasses, but +belong to the same class. Indeed, some of the former +are really shrouded skeletons.</p> + + +<p class="center"><i>Other designs.</i></p> + +<p>A few other designs may be found scattered up +and down the country. Perhaps the most interesting +is to Roger Morris, Margate, Kent, 1615. He +was an official in the Navy and his brass consists +of a square plate showing a three-masted square +rigged man-o’-war. It has a lion figure-head, high +poop and many guns showing through the port +holes.</p> + + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> +<div class="chapter"> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_83">83</span></p> + + + <h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_XIII"> + CHAPTER XIII + <br><span class="sm"> + FOREIGN BRASSES + </span></h2> +</div> + + +<p>Brasses on the Continent, as already stated, were +engraved on quadrilateral plates, the inscription, +canopy and background, all being engraved on the +same plates, there is therefore no background of +stone, as in England. Any space left over was usually +filled with diaper work or some similar pattern. +Many of those which still survive on the Continent +are remarkably splendid. There were originally at +least three great schools, besides several minor subdivisions. +These were the German, Flemish, and +French. The Revolutionaries destroyed almost all +those in France and the Reformers played sad havoc +with the Dutch and German monuments. Still, many +fine examples remain of the German and Flemish +schools. The former are found at Ringstead, Denmark, +engr. c. 1350, to King Eric and Queen Ingeborg, +at Lübeck, Schwerin, Stralsund (Pomerania), Thorn +and elsewhere. The latter exist at Ghent 14th c., +Brussels 1398, Bruges 15th c. Most of these were +Hanse towns and all carried on trade with England. +Merchants from them settled in England and in some +cases had their brasses made abroad. It thus came +about that 14 remain of undoubtedly foreign work, +besides two which were bought abroad and are now +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_84">84</span>in the Victoria and Albert Museum. These form an +entirely separate group and must be dealt with apart.</p> + +<p>On the other hand, one English brass is known to +exist on the Continent. It is at Constance, to the +memory of an English bishop who died at the Council +of Constance.</p> + +<p>The finest foreign brasses are those of the fourteenth +century, and are as follows: Adam de Walsokne +and wife, King’s Lynn, Norfolk, 1349; Abbot Thos. +Delamere, St Albans Abbey, c. 1360; Simon de +Wenslagh, priest, Wensley, Yorks., c. 1360; a Priest, +North Mimms, Herts., c. 1360; Robt. Braunche and +two wives, King’s Lynn, Norfolk, 1364; Ralph de +Knevyngton (in armour, small) Aveley, Essex, 1370; +Alan Fleming, Newark, Notts., c. 1375; and Thos. de +Topclyffe and wife, Topcliffe, Yorks., 1391.</p> + +<p>There seems little doubt that these fall into two +schools—North German and Flemish.</p> + +<p>The first may be called North German, and five +brasses of Hanseatic merchants are so exactly alike +that they must come from the very same workshop. +They are the two at King’s Lynn and one each at +St Peter’s, Lübeck, 1356, at Thorn, 1357, and at +Stralsund, 1361.</p> + +<p>The trefoils on the background are similar, and so +are the cushions on which rest the heads of the +figures. A woodhouse (a wild man) struggles with an +animal between the feet of the merchant, in each case.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_85">85</span></p> + +<p>The most interesting feature in each is that beneath +the feet of the figures a long compartment is reserved +for a scene. In the Walsokne brass, a horseman +carrying corn to be ground at a mill is followed by +two men bearing their master on a litter. There are +also hunting scenes and a forester fighting with an +outlaw. In the Braunche brass there is a representation +(probably) of the mayor’s feast at Lynn. +Braunche was mayor in 1349 or 1359. The three +peacocks are being borne by fair ladies heralded by +trumpets.</p> + +<p>There is in every brass a magnificent canopy with +figures either of saints or of “weepers” in niches. The +soul, a small naked figure, is being borne aloft by +angels to God the Father.</p> + +<p>The large number of figures included may be +judged when we consider that the Walsokne brass has +57 alone. The principal figures are clad in the civilian +costume already described, and their wives in the +mantle, sideless <i>cote-hardi</i> and kirtle. In some the +mantle is omitted, when it is easier to see the beautiful +figured pattern with which the kirtle is adorned.</p> + +<p>The Walsokne brass measures 9 ft. 10 in. × 5 ft. 8 in., +and the Braunche 8 ft. 10 in. × 5 ft. 1 in., and some of +the Continental ones are even larger.</p> + +<p>The second group springs from a second workshop +and includes three ecclesiastical brasses and the Royal +brass at Ringstead. The former are at St Albans, +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_86">86</span>Lübeck and Schwerin (1347) respectively. The distinguishing +feature of this group is that the cushions +are omitted. A few other details differ, but in the +main they follow the same lines as the others of North +Germany. These two sub-groups probably both came +from Lübeck, but are by different hands.</p> + +<p>The Newark brass is also North German, but of +later work than the other, for, though dated 1361, it +was probably engraved about 1375. The most striking +difference is that the canopy is drawn in perspective, +with very unsatisfactory results. It is rather similar +to the huge brass of Bishops Godfrey and Frederic de +Bulowe at Schwerin, 1375. The latter measures +13 ft. 6 in. × 6 ft. 5 in. and is the largest in the world. +The Newark brass measures 9 ft. 4 in. × 5 ft. 7 in. It +is unfortunately much worn, and has been removed +from its original position and placed against the +wall.</p> + +<p>The Wensley brass is also North German. The +robes of the priest are embroidered in a similar +design to those of Abbot Delamere, but there is no +canopy or background.</p> + +<p>The North Mimms brass is similar, but not so well +engraved and the figure is only 27 inches long. The +canopy has niches with the apostles, two angels with +censor and the soul in the arms of the Father. There +is no background, but probably it was cut away by +the English workmen who laid it in the stone to make +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_87">87</span>it suit English ideas. The composition rises from a +bracket on which is a coat-of-arms and two lions.</p> + +<p>The Aveley and Topcliffe brasses are almost +certainly Flemish. The former is very small, but +beautifully engraved; there is a canopy, and the +background has no design, being simply cross-hatched. +The other brass measures 5 ft. 9 in. × 3 ft. 1 in. and +represents a civilian and his wife. The ground work +is a diaper pattern, and there is a fine canopy. On +the reverse of several pieces earlier work exists and +in one place a Flemish inscription.</p> + +<p>There are five other English brasses of foreign +work, and two foreign ones are in the Victoria and +Albert Museum. There are also a few fragments +among the palimpsests (see Chap. VI) and a fragment +in the British Museum. (See Appendix.)</p> + + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> +<div class="chapter"> + <h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_XIV"> + CHAPTER XIV + <br><span class="sm"> + ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS + </span></h2> +</div> + +<p class="center xsm"> + (See special articles on this subject by the author in <i>The + Builder</i>, vol. <span class="allsmcap">CII.</span>) +</p> + +<p>Brasses frequently contain a considerable amount +of architectural detail in their composition. Sometimes +they were placed on altar tombs under stone +canopies, but it is of those details depicted in the +brass itself that the author purposes to write.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_88">88</span></p> + +<p>Canopies are by far the most important group, +and the magnificence of some of these can be but +faintly realised from the illustrations.</p> + +<p>The earliest follow the Decorated style which was +in fashion when they were laid down.</p> + +<p>The first type consists of slender shafts supporting +a pediment, of which the upper sides are straight, +forming a triangle ornamented with crockets and +terminated by a bunch of foliage. The arch beneath +is trefoil and the cusps are filled with leaves. This +form lasted from 1300 to c. 1325, but unfortunately +only one example survives—that of Joan de Cobham, +Cobham, Kent, 1320 (cf. <a href="#fig04_p007">p. 7</a>). The side shafts +were missing, but have, we believe, been restored. +This is the second lady to be depicted on a brass, +and she leads the fine series of nineteen brasses at +Cobham. The slab of Margarete de Camoys, Trotton, +Sussex, c. 1310, shows the matrix of a similar canopy. +The fragments of the canopy of Sir Hugh Hastings, +1347, Elsing, Norfolk, also appear to belong to this +type, but with later variations. In it, as in the +canopy of Lawrence de St Maur, the canopies in the +shafts are straight-sided.</p> + +<p>This low pedimental form was soon superseded +by the ogee arch rising to a considerable height. +This is supported by equally tall side shafts. Sometimes, +in place of a bunch of foliage, figures of saints +are seen on the finial, as on several examples at +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_89">89</span>Cobham, Kent, notably Lady Margaret (cf. <a href="#fig06_p013">p. 13</a>). +At other times a shield with a coat-of-arms takes its +place, as in the brass of Archbishop Waldeby, Westminster +Abbey, 1397.</p> + +<p>The next development was to widen the shafts, +so as to form panels or niches containing canopied +saints. Often these are surmounted by a super-canopy. +The brass of Lawrence de St Maur, Higham +Ferrers, Northants. (cf. <a href="#fig13_p148">fig. 13</a>) shows this type. +Canopies over mass priests are very rare and this +is by far the finest. The details have been given +before, so we will turn to another variation of this +type.</p> + +<p>Instead of canopy and super-canopy, an embattled +canopy with an ogee pediment within is found. A +splendid example is to a former Dean of St Asaph’s +and rector of Balsham, John Blodwell, 1462 (cf. <a href="#fig14_p148">p. 37</a>). +It measures 8 ft. 9 in. × 4 ft. 1 in.</p> + +<p>Another development was, in place of a single +arch to have double or triple arches. The former +type was used almost exclusively where two persons +were commemorated. The latter was sometimes used +over three figures, but more often over one. Thus +in the brass of the Duchess of Gloucester, Westminster +Abbey, 1399 (cf. <a href="#fig17_p047">p. 47</a>), we have a truly magnificent +brass. Five shields hang from the shafts (the sixth +is lost) and between the finials of her triple canopy +are two other finials, one of which has been lost +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_90">90</span>since this rubbing was made. A tabernacle with +the Holy Trinity is often placed above the ogee arch +in place of the central finial, as in the brass of Sir +Nicholas Hawberk, Cobham, Kent, 1407. But not +only the finest of this group, but of all <i>English</i> +brasses now extant is the monument to Thomas +Neolond, Cluniac Prior of Lewes, at Cowfold, Sussex, +1433 (cf. <a href="#fig16_p045">p. 45</a>). This has a tabernacle with the +Virgin and Child, and, moreover, the finials of the +other two arches support St Pancras and St Thomas +à Becket. Further, the central arch is also triple, +and the shafts are supported by side shafts and +connected by flying buttresses, as is likewise the +tabernacle. The entire scheme is very graceful and +recalls the lantern at Ely in its lightness. It is +10 ft. 2 in. × 4 ft. 3 in. A somewhat similar brass is +that to John Sleford at Balsham, 1401.</p> + +<p>The earlier canopies were not groined, one of the +earliest exceptions being that over Lord Nicholas +Burnell, Acton Burnell, Salop, 1382 (cf. <a href="#fig05_p011">p. 11</a>). +But during the fifteenth century this became more +common (see the canopy of John Bloxham and John +Whytton). It is an unsatisfactory feature, and characteristic +of the gradual deterioration and coarsening +of the engraving. This latter is also shown by the +heavy finials and crockets.</p> + +<p>In the sixteenth century, these peculiarities became +more marked, though canopies still follow the +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_91">91</span>traditional lines. There are two or three early Renaissance +canopies, e.g. a large, triple one to Wm. Porter, +S.T.P., Hereford Cathedral, 1524, and Dean Frowsetoure, +in cope, Hereford Cathedral, 1529.</p> + +<p>It is difficult to say whether the classical arches +shown in a few of the later brasses can be termed +canopies. An example is to be found to Wm. Dunche +and wife, Little Wittenham, Berks, (double) engr., +c. 1585. (See Appendix.)</p> + + +<p><i>Brackets.</i></p> + +<p>The idea of this group probably originated with +the brackets supporting figures of saints, which were +common in our churches before the Reformation. +The brackets usually projected from a wall or column, +and a small pillar helped to support them. Above +was a canopy of carved stone or wood.</p> + +<p>One would naturally expect that, if this idea +were copied, the bracket would hold a saint and the +deceased would kneel before it. There are, however, +only two examples extant. The brass of John Spycer +and wife, Burford, Oxon., 1437, is terribly mutilated. +The canopy and Virgin and Child are lost, and only +the deceased couple remain, kneeling on either side +of the stem. The other example is practically +complete and is to John Strete (priest in academics), +Upper Hardres, Kent, 1405 (cf. <a href="#fig24_p093">p. 93</a>). St Peter +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_92">92</span>and St Paul stand on the bracket, and there is no +canopy.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp50" id="fig24_p093" style="max-width: 40em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/fig24_p093.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + Fig. 24. John Strete, M.A. 1405, Upper Hardres, Kent + </figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>In all other cases the deceased persons themselves +stand on the bracket. The earlier ones are much +mutilated, and only one fourteenth century brass is +at all perfect. It is to Sir John Foxley and two wives, +Bray, Berks., 1378. The canopy is lost. The three +figures are on a bracket with a short stem rising +from the back of a fox, the family crest. The total +length of the composition is just over 5 ft. Though +the ladies are standing, the knight rests with his +head on his helm and his feet on a lion.</p> + +<p>The fifteenth century brasses are far more complete. +(See Appendix.)</p> + +<p>The Merton College brass is one of the finest. +The stem rises from a tabernacle holding the Lamb +with the banner.</p> + +<p>In the sixteenth century should be noted the +brasses of Sir Roger le Strange, Hunstanton, Norfolk, +1506; John Terry and wife, St John, Maddermarket, +Norwich, 1524; John Marsham and wife, St John, +Maddermarket, Norwich, 1525; and Robt. Rugge +and wife, St John, Maddermarket, Norwich, 1558.</p> + +<p>Sir Roger stands on a low bracket without a +stem, placed <i>within</i>, not supporting, a magnificent +canopy with figures of weepers in the side shafts.</p> + +<p>The other three evidently come from a local school +of engravers. Terry’s bracket resembles a tree, the +<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_93"></a><a id="Page_94"></a>94</span>branches support pedestals for himself, his wife and +for his children. The whole is on a single plate. +The Marsham bracket has a stem like that of a +table and the top is covered with skulls and bones. +In the Rugge brass there is only a corbel supporting +an inscription.</p> + +<p>So far as is known, there are no later bracket +brasses.</p> + + +<p class="center"><i>Crosses.</i></p> + +<p>These also form a group which may conveniently +be dealt with here. At one time they were very +numerous, but provoked the wrath of the Reformers +more than any other type of brass, hence barely +thirty remain. Matrices are still numerous and many +might doubtless be restored as has been successfully +done at Ely.</p> + +<p>They fall into three main divisions: (1) plain +crosses, (2) crosses with some saint in the centre, +(3) crosses with the deceased in the centre.</p> + +<p>This last group may be subdivided into: (<i>a</i>) +quatrefoil, (<i>b</i>) octofoil. (See Appendix.)</p> + +<p>(1) These vary considerably in form. At Higham +Ferrers, the arms terminate in the Evangelistic +symbols. At Royston, a bleeding heart and the +four wounds are shown. At Eversley, the whole +cross is formed of interlocking bands, or links of a +<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_95"></a><a id="Page_96"></a>96</span>chain. The cross at Floore, Northants., is drawn in +perspective.</p> + +<p>(2) There are but few examples of the second +type. The best is to Robt. de Paris and wife, +Hildersham, Cambs., 1379, here shown. The figures +kneel on either side of a cross with an octofoil head, +in which is the Holy Trinity. Robt. de Paris wears +a long cloak, thrown open so as to show his undergarment, +which stops short above the knees. A belt +holds an anlace and his legs are covered with long +hose.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp56" id="fig25_p095" style="max-width: 40em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/fig25_p095.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + Fig. 25. Robert de Paris and wife, 1379, Hildersham, Cambs. + </figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>Another example is that of John Mulsho and wife, +Newton-by-Geddington, Northants., c. 1400, commemorated +by a quatrefoil cross, holding a figure +of St Faith. This brass was restored by Messrs +Waller, but there seems little reason to doubt that +the design is correct.</p> + +<p>The brass of Robt. de Brun (priest), Chelsfield, +Kent, 1417, is a much mutilated crucifix; the figure +of St John is lost, the head of the Virgin and most +of the cross. On the ground are Adam’s skull, +Jacob’s ladder and the jawbone of an ass. The latter +refers to the scriptural legend that from it flowed a +stream of water to revive Samson’s spirit (Judges +xv. 19).</p> + +<p>(3) (<i>a</i>) This division includes a small group of +much interest. Some of the earliest belong to it, +and many others—of the fourteenth century—have +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_97">97</span>perished. They are used to commemorate priests. +These are: Rich. de Hakebourne (priest), Merton +College, Oxford, c. 1310; A Priest, Chinnor, Oxford, +c. 1320; Nichol. de Gore (priest), Woodchurch, Kent, +c. 1320; and Britell Avenel (priest), Buxted, Sussex, +1408.</p> + +<p>The first three brasses have lost their stems. +The Merton and Chinnor crosses hold a demi-figure +and a head respectively. Nicholas de Gore is a +small, full-length figure, and the composition is very +pleasing. The Buxted cross is the only one which +is nearly perfect. The priest is a demi-figure, resting +on a diapered background. There is a border +inscription.</p> + +<p>(<i>b</i>) Octofoil crosses are more numerous. Those +at East Wickham, 1325, and Wimbish, 1347, have +already been described.</p> + +<p>The East Wickham brass had the missing parts +restored in 1887. The Taplow cross (c. 1350) rises +from a dolphin, an appropriate emblem for a fishmonger.</p> + +<p>The octofoil consists of eight ogee arches, alternately +large and small, with finials of foliage.</p> + + +<p class="center"><i>Other Architectural Features.</i></p> + +<p>There are several brasses in which architectural +features are included which do not come under these +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_98">98</span>headings. Thus, Bishop Wyvil, Salisbury Cathedral, +1375, is shown as a demi-figure within a castle, with +his champion at the portcullis below. This commemorates +his recovery of the Castle of Sherborne +for the See. There are several rabbits at the foot +of the castle, and these probably commemorate +his recovery of a piece of ground known as “The +Warren.”</p> + +<p>Bp. Robinson’s brass shows Carlisle Cathedral +and Queen’s College, Oxford, and many sixteenth +century brasses show walls, pillars, etc.</p> + +<p>In an interesting series of three sixteenth century +brasses, probably by the same hand, to Robt. +Honywode, St George’s Chapel, Windsor, 1522; Robt. +Sutton, St Patrick’s, Dublin, 1528; and Geoff. Fyche, +St Patrick’s, Dublin, 1537; what is really a view of a +side-chapel is shown.</p> + +<p>At Windsor, beneath the Tudor arch, Honywode +kneels at a <i>prie-dieu</i> before a statue of the Virgin +and Child. In the Irish examples, the resemblance +to a side-chapel is still more complete. Fyche kneels +at a faldstool before an altar with a picture above it +of the descent from the Cross. The vaulting of part +of the roof is visible, and the walls have linenfold +panelling. A shield hangs from a hook at one side +bearing a bush with several birds on it and the initials +F. G., which evidently refer to and are probably +meant as a pun on his name—Finch for Fyche.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_99">99</span></p> + +<p>The floor is laid with tiles and a Renaissance arch +forms a kind of canopy in the foreground. Parts +of rooms are often shown in sixteenth century +brasses.</p> + +<p>In a few cases, brasses were laid down to founders +of churches. They usually hold a model of the +church in their hands. An example exists at Cobham, +to Sir John de Cobham, 1365. The building is in +the decorated style, has a small spire and a large +porch.</p> + + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> +<div class="chapter"> + <h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_XV"> + CHAPTER XV + <br><span class="sm"> + CONCLUSION + </span></h2> +</div> + + +<p>The great fascination of monumental brasses can +only be realised by studying them on the spot. One +of the best methods is to take rubbings of them.</p> + +<p>Most of our readers doubtless know the method, +but since a few may not, some particulars are +appended.</p> + +<p>A piece of cobblers wax should be procured from +some boot repairer. The black kind is the only one +which produces satisfactory results on white paper. +It can usually be got in small lumps about the size +of a halfpenny across. Melt down six of these to +make a single ball. Procure a roll of plain white +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_100">100</span>ceiling paper, the thinner the better, from a paper-hanger’s. +It should cost from 6<i>d.</i> to 8<i>d.</i> according +to quality. A penny nail-brush and a duster complete +the outfit.</p> + +<p>First ask permission from the Rector or Vicar. +This should not be omitted, and will avoid unpleasantness. +The clergy are usually most considerate +in the matter, and very rarely refuse. But naturally +they do not like absolute strangers to take rubbings +without first asking permission. So far as the writer +knows, permission is refused only at <i>two</i> churches, +though probably there are a few others. In those +cases the reason given was that it wore away the +brass. We have never seen any real cause to think +this can be correct. If we did, we should be the +last to advocate brass-rubbing.</p> + +<p>There <i>is</i> a kind of rubbing which does damage. +Well-meaning vergers have been known to <i>polish</i> +an old brass. This is absolutely destructive of the +engraving.</p> + +<p>Permission granted, remove the mat which probably +covers and protects it. Brush off the accumulated +dust, finishing off with the duster. Then carefully +spread the paper over it and fix it down by weights +round the edge. For these, hassocks are handy; +prayer-books should be avoided, their misuse causes +offence.</p> + +<p>Then rub the paper down well with a <i>clean</i> part +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_101">101</span>of the duster, so as to mark the main features and +edges, and after that the rubbing with the wax ball +itself will be easy.</p> + +<p>The aim should be to produce a clear, dark +impression. To get it, the rubbing must be hard +and the paper must not slip. If there is a canopy, +it will probably be found that the wax will mark +parts of the paper beyond the design itself. In such +a case, the rubbing should be cut out and mounted +on paper or calico. Paste is better than gum for +this purpose. The rubbing should always be polished +by rubbing over with a clean part of the duster +<i>before</i> being removed from the brass.</p> + +<p>The completed rubbing may be mounted on rollers.</p> + +<p>A good way of cataloguing, is to photograph each +rubbing, mount a print in a book, and then number +and name print and rubbing alike.</p> + +<p>The proper treatment of the brasses themselves +demands considerable attention. We spend huge +sums on buying old pictures by foreigners, yet we +take no trouble to preserve these matchless works of +art, the work of our own ancestors.</p> + +<p>There have been four great periods of destruction, +each with its own characteristics. Indeed, from the +Reformation down to the present day the work has +gone on intermittently.</p> + +<p>During the sixteenth century, the extreme +Reformers united with those bent on plunder to +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_102">102</span>rob our churches of these monuments. Brass has +at all times been a valuable metal, and when religious +zeal is combined with greed of gain, it is not surprising +that thousands of brasses perished. The +destruction of the great monastic churches brought +with it of necessity the spoliation of their tombs +which stood within; but even the parish churches +were not safe. So keen was the thirst for plunder +that the ministers of Edward VI confiscated even +the church plate and the money for the poor.</p> + +<p>Elizabeth,—all credit to her,—disapproved of +such conduct and ordered that the plate should be +replaced, though at whose cost is unknown; and, +further, that all monuments broken down should be +restored. If possible, this was to be done at the +cost of those who had wrought the damage, otherwise +the parish was to bear the burden.</p> + +<p>The latter command seems to have been but +slightly enforced, and there are but few examples +of Elizabethan restoration of earlier monuments or +brasses, though a few do exist.</p> + +<p>During the seventeenth century, the Parliamentarians +wrought tremendous havoc, but have had +more than their fair share credited to them. Nearly +as much destruction was wrought during the eighteenth +century through neglect, and often these +losses are laid to the door of the Puritans by the +modern guide.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_103">103</span></p> + +<p>But perhaps the most lamentable devastations +are those wrought in the nineteenth century. They +were usually done by those who claimed to be +“restoring” their parish churches. For example, +while restoring a certain country church some twenty +or thirty years ago, the architect found there were +several old brasses which were being abominably +treated. He informed a well-known firm of art metal +workers, who sent down one of the partners. He +found the workmen using one of the figures as a +frying-pan over a wood fire in the churchyard! +He rescued it, and many others which had been thrown +out into the churchyard. Then he brought the +matter to the notice of the incumbent, who absolutely +refused to have anything to do with them, and +declared that he would not have them in the church. +Further, he told the partner that he could take +them away. The latter hesitated to do so, and left +them behind. A few days later, he received a box +containing them. Not knowing what to do with them, +he stored them away and forgot all about them.</p> + +<p>Some twenty years later, they were re-discovered +by his son, who showed them to some friends, and +in the end he returned them to the church, suggesting +that they should be restored to their proper places. +He never even received an acknowledgement, but +learnt later they were still lying neglected in the box.</p> + +<p>The little value attached by many to brasses may +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_104">104</span>be judged from the fact that Gilbert Scott replaced +the fine brass at St John’s College, Cambridge, +beneath the organ loft; and Pearson hid another +away in the crypt of Truro. Often this scant +respect was not shown, and they were sold as old +metal, or, at best, torn from their stone matrices and +fixed to a wall.</p> + +<p>This latter is a constant trick of restorers, and +should be strongly discouraged. Within the last +year it has happened at Merstham, Surrey, and, +indeed, hardly a year passes but it takes place somewhere. +Firstly, the stone should not be removed at +all, if in its original spot it marks the grave of the +deceased, and this alone should be a sufficient reason +for not removing it. If it must be removed and +placed against the wall, the whole stone should be +moved, and not merely the brass. Brass and stone +are one and should not be separated. They may +fitly be compared to a jewel and its setting.</p> + +<p>Moreover, in raising them, the brasses become +bent and twisted, and parts are nearly always lost. +Further, if in its original matrix, one can fairly +accurately judge of what is missing and, if it is +desired, restore it.</p> + +<p>Sometimes the excuse given for the removal is +that it is to preserve them from the wear of people +walking over them. This can be far better done by +placing carpet or matting over them.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_105">105</span></p> + +<p>Even where only the matrix remains, it should +be carefully preserved, as it is often of considerable +interest and always the remnant of ancient work. +They are of far more interest than a series of slabs +of black and white marble or a series of modern +machine-made tiles.</p> + +<p>In some cases they might be carefully restored. +The matrix gives a very faithful guide, and sometimes +descriptions still exist. In the case where only part +of the brass is lost, this should most certainly be done. +Recently the author helped to restore an old brass +at Shere, Surrey, the cost of the work being most +generously borne by the Rector (Mr Hill).</p> + +<p>John Touchet, Lord Audley, was executed on the +charge of high treason by Henry VII in 1490. An +altar tomb was set up in his memory about 1525. +It showed a figure in armour with a marginal +inscription on a chamfered edge. About 1745 the +tomb was destroyed, and the top slab laid in the +floor of the chancel. As the chamfered edge would +thus be hidden, some person stole the brass fillet. +About 1800 the lower half of the effigy was also +stolen. When the church was restored in 1896, a +parishioner gave the Rector a piece of the inscription +which she had found hidden away in an old cottage +she had recently bought. Not knowing to what +figure it belonged, he fastened it to a window sill. +Recently the writer drew his attention to the fact +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_106">106</span>that it undoubtedly belonged to the mutilated figure, +and suggested that a fresh matrix should be cut +round the edge of the stone, and that the remainder +of the inscription and the legs should be restored. +To this he agreed, and the work was carefully +executed by Messrs Gawthorp of 16, Long Acre. +Fortunately the piece of inscription contained almost +all the personal details save the year of Touchet’s +death. This was discovered from documentary +evidence to be 1490. A description of the legs was +also found, taken just before they were stolen. This +was fortunate, as one would not otherwise have known +that there was a greyhound <i>between</i> his feet. Our +thanks are due to Mr Mill Stephenson for much +valuable advice and information. Every care was +taken to make the new work as exactly like the old +in colour and engraving as possible. But to prevent +deception, each new piece was marked on the back +with the date, 1911, and, further, a careful rubbing +was taken before the restoration, showing the old +work and the matrix, and this was framed and hung +in the South Porch.</p> + +<p>The matrix of a fine cross with a prior kneeling +at the foot was restored some years ago at Ely.</p> + +<p>Where a brass is loose, it should be refixed. +Palimpsests may cause some difficulty. By far the +best method is to have careful electrotypes made of +the reverses and fastened up in the church, and the +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_107">107</span>originals should then be permanently refixed in their +matrices.</p> + +<p>One cannot close without emphasizing the terrible +destruction of these priceless works of art.</p> + +<p>In St Albans Abbey, a few years ago, no less +than 270 matrices were counted. Durham Cathedral, +once paved with brasses, has not <i>one</i> left!</p> + +<p>These matrices should be preserved, and, as yet, +a complete catalogue of them has not been made. +It is to be hoped that some antiquary will ere long +undertake the task. There are still a great number—perhaps +6000—and often of unique interest. In +several cases these slabs are older than the earliest +surviving brasses. For example, the earliest of all +is at St Paul’s, Bedford. It is believed to commemorate +Sir Simon de Beauchamp, 1208, mentioned +by Leland. There was a large cross 5 ft. 9 in. × 2 ft. +6 in. springing from a plate with an inscription, and +having a small shield on either side of the head. +There was also a border fillet.</p> + +<p>Again, there is a splendid matrix at Durham, +now carefully protected beneath a thick carpet. It +is to Bp. Beaumont, 1333, and is larger and finer +than any brass now extant, measuring 15 ft. × 10 ft. +As a very complete description of it exists in a +sixteenth century book, it would be comparatively +easy to restore it to its former magnificence. And +it must have been a splendid brass! The bishop is +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_108">108</span>in full canonicals and a small angel censing him on +either side, he stands beneath a fine triple canopy +with super-canopy and saints. The shafts contain +niches with the apostles, and on either side are side +shafts connected to the canopy by flying buttresses +and containing twelve figures of his ancestors. There +are two lions beneath his feet and a border fillet, +besides other interesting details. Is it too much to +hope that some day money will be forthcoming to +restore it?</p> + +<p>Though we advocate a judicious restoration, it +must be <i>well</i> done, or not at all. We all know the +harm that has been wrought by zealous “restorers” +of our churches, and we must not allow the same +evil to befall the brasses.</p> + +<p>The right lines to follow, in the author’s opinion, +have already been described. The <i>wrong</i> way is to +break the following rules:</p> + +<blockquote> +<p>(1) Never destroy any of the original brass.</p> + +<p>(2) Never destroy the original matrix, and always +let it act as a guide.</p> + +<p>(3) Be sure and use the proper alloy. The old +latten is of different alloy from the ordinary brass of +modern commerce, which is much softer.</p> + +<p>(4) Do not get an amateur or a local artist, who +has had little or no experience in this kind of work, +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_109">109</span>to do it. Go to one of the few firms which have +made a special study of this kind of work. They +may seem a little expensive, but in the end it is well +worth the difference.</p> + +<p>(5) If you want advice, write to the Monumental +Brass Society, London, or, if you prefer it, to the +author, who would always be glad to help in any way +he could.</p> + +<p>(6) See if there are any rubbings or description +extant in the British Museum or elsewhere.</p> +</blockquote> + +<p>Perhaps this is an appropriate place at which to +draw attention to the latent possibilities of a revival +of brasses for modern memorials. When one reflects +on the over-crowded state of some of our finest +cathedrals with hideous and cumbersome monuments, +the desirability of this revival becomes apparent. +They would take up practically no space, and therefore +would not interfere with the architecture of the +building, as do the statues in Westminster Abbey. +They are in keeping with the Gothic style of most +of our churches. If good, they can be of considerable +beauty and interest; if bad, a mat readily hides them +from view.</p> + +<p>One difficulty undoubtedly obtrudes itself, viz. +modern dress. However, both Church and Army lend +themselves to picturesque and fortuitous treatment. +For the civilian, university gowns, mayoral and civic +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_110">110</span>robes and even court dress are quite amenable to +the engraver’s art.</p> + +<p>As to women’s attire, a simple arrangement of +veil or scarf about the head would be acceptable and +dignified, in conjunction with garments of flowing +and harmonious lines. Grotesque contours and +eccentric mannerisms of attire would naturally be +avoided. In this matter one need but follow in the +steps of the old engravers.</p> + +<p>The faces would either be portraits or not, as +seemed desirable to those who had the brass laid +down.</p> + +<p>Two types might be followed:</p> + +<blockquote> +<p>(1) The old Gothic, with the figures recumbent, +in which case the brass should be placed on the +floor.</p> + +<p>(2) The Renaissance, with the figure kneeling, +as in many of the Elizabethan examples. These +should be affixed to the wall. The faults of these +latter are usually:</p> + +<blockquote> +<p>(<i>a</i>) Thin metal.</p> + +<p>(<i>b</i>) Too much detail.</p> + +<p>(<i>c</i>) Lack of depth in graving.</p> +</blockquote> + +<p>All these defects could be avoided to-day.</p> +</blockquote> + +<p>Certain modern specimens do exist, but cannot, +as a rule, be placed in the front rank. An exception +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_111">111</span>must be made in favour of a modern brass on the +old lines laid down by Messrs Gawthorp at Islip, +Northants. It is meant to replace a fifteenth century +brass long since entirely vanished. A civilian and +his wife, in the dress of c. 1460, stand beneath a +double canopy, and the effect is most pleasing.</p> + +<p>There is also a rather fine one to W. S. Sanders, +Rector of St Nicholas, Guildford, 1901, and two in +Westminster Abbey.</p> + +<p>But so far no really fine example showing the +figures in modern dress has been laid down. In the +author’s opinion, it is to be hoped that the art of +enamelling brasses will not be restored to favour at +the same time. Nor does he consider that the +engraved lines should be filled in with coloured +matter or black wax.</p> + +<p>In conclusion; if even a few, by reading this little +book, are persuaded to study and help to preserve +the ancient relics of the past, the author will feel +that it has not been written in vain.</p> + +<p>There is undoubtedly a decided awakening of +interest in the subject, but it behoves us to exert +ourselves to make <i>all</i> realize how priceless are the +four thousand which alone survive out of the large +number (some 150,000, including inscriptions) which +were at one time or another laid down.</p> + + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> +<div class="chapter"> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_112">112</span></p> + + + <h2 class="nobreak" id="APPENDIX"> + APPENDIX + </h2> +</div> + + +<p class="center">I. 1277-1327<br> + +<span class="sm">Nearly life-size figures are marked with a star, and d = demi.</span></p> + + +<blockquote> +<p>Sir John Daubernon, Stoke d’Abernon, Surrey, 1277. *</p> + +<p>Sir Roger de Trumpington, Trumpington, Cambs., 1289. *</p> + +<p>Sir Rich. de Boselyngthorpe, Buslingthorpe, Lincs., c. 1290. d</p> + +<p>Unknown Knight, Croft, Lincs., c. 1300. d</p> + +<p>Sir Robert de Bures, Acton, Suffolk, 1302. *</p> + +<p>Sir Robert de Setvans, Chatham, Kent, 1306. *</p> + +<p>Margarete de Camoys, Trotton, Sussex, c. 1310. *</p> + +<p>Rich. de Hakebourne (priest), Merton Coll., Oxford, c. 1310. d</p> + +<p>Archbishop Wm. de Grenefeld, York Minster, 1315. *</p> + +<p>Sir —— Fitzralph, Pebmarsh, Essex, c. 1320. *</p> + +<p>Sir —— Bacon, Gorleston, Suffolk, c. 1320. *</p> + +<p>Joan de Cobham, Cobham, Kent, c. 1320. *</p> + +<p>Nichol de Gore (priest), Woodchurch, Kent, c. 1320.</p> + +<p>A Priest, Chinnor, Oxford, c. 1320. d</p> + +<p>Thos. de Hop (priest), Kemsing, Kent, c. 1320. d</p> + +<p>A Priest, Wantage, Berks., c. 1320. d</p> + +<p>John de Bladigdone and wife (civilian), demi, in cross, East +Wickham, Kent, c. 1325. d</p> + +<p>Sir John de Creke and wife, Westley Waterless, Cambs., +c. 1325. *</p> + +<p>Sir John Daubernon II, Stoke d’Abernon, Surrey, 1327. *</p> + +<p>Sir John de Northwode and wife, Minster-in-Sheppey, Kent, +c. 1330. *</p> +</blockquote> + + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_113">113</span></p> + +<p class="center p2">II. 1327-1399<br> + +<span class="sm">In this list those which are starred * show armorial jupons, +and those with daggers † have canopies.</span></p> + +<p>The following is believed to be a complete list of the military +brasses of this period:—</p> + +<blockquote> +<p>Sir John de Cobham (with church), Cobham, Kent, 1354. †</p> + +<p>John Bodiam, Bodiam, Sussex (small), c. 1360.</p> + +<p>Wm. de Aldeburgh (on bracket), Aldborough, Yorks., c. 1360. *</p> + +<p>Sir Philip Peletoot, Watton, Herts., 1361.</p> + +<p>Unknown, Gt.

The brass is lozenge-shaped and shows her as a demi-figure +in a shroud with angels supporting the inscription. The +Scotch brass was engraved in Antwerp by the instruction of +Liddel’s brother John. It is just over 5 ft. high. There is a +marginal inscription, and half the space within it is also filled +with inscription.</p> + +<p>The doctor is shown above this seated at table, with books, +writing materials, etc. around him. It reminds us of the +seventeenth century brasses to Airay and Bp. Robinson.</p> + +<p>In the Victoria and Albert Museum are two other foreign +brasses. The larger is also Flemish, to Sire Louis Corteville and +wife, 1504. It was originally in the ruined chapel of the Castle +of Corteville, Flanders, thence passed to a shop in Antwerp and +thence to the Jermyn Street Museum. Recently it has been set +up at South Kensington. It has a fillet of foliage and within +that a border inscription. The places of the four Evangelists at +the corners are filled by shields; there is no canopy. Above the +knight, his crest, helmet and coat-of-arms appear, above his wife, +a coat-of-arms is supported by an angel. The heads of both rest +on embroidered cushions, and the background is covered with a +design of foliage.</p> + +<p>The armour of the knight, though similar to that of the same +date in England, shows several minor variations, which should be +studied by those interested in the subject.</p> + +<p>The other brass is much smaller and is of German origin. It +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_145">145</span>is to Henry Oskens, canon, from Nippes, near Cologne, 1535. It +is beautifully engraved.
