FOREIGN INFLUENCES ON AND INNOVATION IN ENGLISH TOMB SCULPTURE IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY by Nicola Jane Shilliam B.A. (Warwick) Ph.D. dissertation Warwick University History of Art September 1986 SUMMARY This study is an investigation of stylistic and iconographic innovation in English tomb sculpture from the accession of King Henry VIII through the first half of the sixteenth century, a period during which Tudor society and Tudor art were in transition as a result of greater interaction with continental Europe. The form of the tomb was moulded by contemporary cultural, temporal and spiritual innovations, as well as by the force of artistic personalities and the directives of patrons. Conversely, tomb sculpture is an inherently conservative art, and old traditions and practices were resistant to innovation. The early chapters examine different means of change as illustrated by a particular group of tombs. The most direct innovations were introduced by the royal tombs by Pietro Torrigiano in Westminster Abbey. The function of Italian merchants in England as intermediaries between Italian artists and English patrons is considered. Italian artists also introduced terracotta to England.

    Agenda Item 09 Report PC20/21-01 Report to Planning Committee Date 9 July 2020 By Director of Planning Local Authority Chichester District Council Application Number SDNP/20/01693/FUL Applicant Mr Mike Ruddock Application Construction of 12 treehouses to provide tourism accommodation across 2 woodland sites within the estate (5 x 1 bedroom units at Lodge Wood and 7 x 1 bedroom units at High Field Copse), access and parking, cycle storage, drainage and biodiversity enhancements and woodland management. Address Cowdray Park, A272 Easebourne St to Heath End Lane, Easebourne, West Sussex Recommendation: That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions set out in paragraph 10.1 of the report. Executive Summary The applicant seeks permission for the erection of 12 treehouses across two woodland sites within the Cowdray Estate to provide sustainable tourist accommodation within close proximity of Midhurst and public rights of way. The application follows the refusal of a previous scheme for 10 treehouses on one of the proposed sites (Lodge Wood) due to the size and scale of development and the harm deriving from the imposition of a suburban form of development on the historic woodland character; and associated impacts on biodiversity and priority habitat (see committee report and meeting minutes appended at Appendices 2 and 3). The current scheme has been subject to collaborative working between the applicant’s design team and specialist officers and as a result is considered to be a fully landscape-led proposal. The scheme would conserve and enhance the unique heritage, woodland and ecological character of each site, whilst also accruing significant benefits that would align with the Second Purpose and Duty of the National Park, including the provision of tourist accommodation, opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the National Park’s special qualities, and benefitting the local economy.

MYNDE circa 1760 To The King's Most Excellent Majesty SIRE, laying this History and Inventory of the Armouries of the Tower INof London before Your Majesty, I cannot but feel that, in a work of this nature, it would be unfitting that I should take credit for more than the compilation and collation of a large amount of work done by others in the past. In tracing the changes that have taken place from the time when the Tower was a Storehouse of Military Equipment up to the present day, when it is the resting place of a Collection of Royal and Historical Armours many of which are without equal in Europe, I have availed myself of the National Records and also of the generous assistance of living authorities who have made a special study of the several subjects which are dealt with in these pages. I therefore ask Your Majesty's gracious permission to acknowledge here my indebtedness and gratitude to my predecessor Viscount Dillon, first Curator of the Armouries, who has unreservedly placed at my disposal the vast amount of notes, photographs, and researches, which he had collected during over twenty years of office.
