 Book
Search Request
Sue
Beattie is searching for a book but doesn't know the
title or author. She thinks it may be a local publication
and she found it in Cartmel Priory in the Lake
District about seven years ago; it discussed how
to read a monument. It's certainly a handbook. I'm sure
someone out there can help!

Church
Monuments
by Brian Kemp
There are unfortunately
few book which deal with the subject of church monuments
currently available. However I can thoroughly recommend
this well illustrated volume by Brian Kemp, Emeritus Professor
of History at the University of Reading, was President
of the Church Monuments Society 1991-96 and is currently
one of our Vice-Presidents. Professor Kemp is a particularly
gifted and enthusiastic teacher and, in this book, deals
with monuments of all periods in a historical context
as well as dealing with such aspects as conservation,
symbolism and much else. The book concludes with a list
of churches to visit where interesting collections can
be found. 32pp; 55 illus. ISBN 0-85263-768-3
