The Monumental Brasses of Gloucestershire (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book provides an invaluable insight into the rich history and fascinating detail found in the collection of monumental brasses in Gloucestershire. The author, Cecil T. Davis, a member of The Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society, has compiled descriptions of over 80 brasses, focusing on those depicting men, women, and children. The collection spans several centuries, beginning with a lady of the Bradestone family, circa 1370, and carrying through to those placed in the 16th century. The author provides a comprehensive account of each brass, detailing their size, position, heraldry, and inscriptions. Accompanying many of the descriptions are illustrations and line drawings to help bring the brasses to life. The author also endeavors to provide what little biographical information is available, placing the individuals featured in the brasses within their broader historical context. Monumental Brasses in Gloucestershire is a meticulously researched and comprehensive study of a neglected and fascinating historical resource. It offers a valuable resource for genealogists, local historians, and anyone interested in the rich cultural and social history of England.
