Description
A great number of monuments dating from the twelfth to the twentieth centuries can be seen in cathedrals and churches throughout England, and they make up a valuable part of the country's cultural heritage.
Not only are they important as works of art, but they also throw light on many aspects of English history and life.
Brian Kemp introduces the subject of English church monuments, detailing everything from matters of conservation and the making of monuments to historical developments, the changing forms and attitudes of effigies, and the symbolism of death and immortality.
This title includes numerous illustrations and a list of places where interesting examples can be found.
