Synopsis
Excerpt from The Monumental Brasses of Gloucestershire
Trusting to awaken interest in, and to draw attention to, these long neglected memorials, descriptions are now given of those Brasses in this county, on which are engraven figures of men and women and children. Mere inscriptions, and even those accompanied by coats of arms, have been omitted. I shall always be glad to hear of any discoveries of brasses or matrices which may be made in the county.
Much might be said of the fascination that a study of these memorials induces. One is brought, as it were, into contact with the ages in which the persons commemorated played their respective parts in the great drama of life.
