Books on Military Monuments of England and Wales

Mark Downing, Military Effigies of England & Wales: Volume 1, Bedfordshire-Derbyshire, (Monumental Books, Shrewsbury), 149pp, black/white illustrations, ISBN 978-0-9537065-1-8, soft cover, £20 + £4 P&P.

This is the first in a series of eight volumes recording medieval military effigies (excluding brasses and incised slabs), which together aim to cover the counties of England. Wales has far fewer effigies therefore it will be included as a whole in the eighth volume. Scotland and Ireland will not be addressed at this stage, but may be the subject of further studies later. It is anticipated that the entire series will be published over a period of 5 years beginning in 2010.

The second volume covering Devon, Dorset, Durham and Essex is now available at the same price.

Copies are available from Mark Downing, 9 Kestrel Drive, Sundorne Grove, Shrewsbury, SY1 4TT, markdowning1@talktalk.net.

Two Books on Medieval Church Monuments

These two books present a complete introduction to the subject of medieval church monuments, a much needed gap being filled at last. The authors are well known experts in their field and present an excellent overview of this fascinating subject. These book are particularly fine because of the splendid colour illustrations.
