  • Holy Trinity Church
    Holy Trinity Church Ingham - Norfolk HOLY TRINITY CHURCH INGHAM Ingham, written as “Hincham” in the Domesday Book, means “seated in a meadow”. Nothing of this period survives in the church, the oldest part of which now seems the stretch of walling at the south west corner of the chancel. This is made of whole flints, as against the knapped flint of the rest of the building, and contains traces of a blocked priest’s doorway. In spite of the herringboning of some of the rows of flints, it is probably not older than the thirteenth century. The rest of the body of the church was rebuilt in the years leading up to 1360.Work would have started with the chancel, but it is uncertain when it was begun. The tomb of Sir Oliver de Ingham, who died in 1343, is in the founder’s position on the north side of the chancel, and since the posture of the effigy is, as we shall see, already old fashioned for the date of death, it seems most likely that it was commissioned during his life time and that he rebuilt the chancel (which is Pevsner’s view), or that work began immediately after his death by his daughter Joan and her husband, Sir Miles Stapleton, who also rebuilt the nave. The Stapletons established a College of Friars of the Order of Holy Trinity and St Victor to serve Ingham, and also Walcot. The friars were installed in 1360, and originally consisted of a prior, a sacrist, who also acted as vicar of the parish, and two more brethren.

  • "Wherein Taylors May Finde out New Fashions"1
    "Wherein Taylors may finde out new fashions"1 Constructing the Costume Research Image Library (CRIL) Dr Jane Malcolm-Davies Textile Conservation Centre, Winchester School of Art 1) Introduction The precise construction of 16th century dress in the British Isles remains something of a conundrum although there are clues to be found in contemporary evidence. Primary sources for the period fall into three main categories: pictorial (art works of the appropriate period), documentary (written works of the period such as wardrobe warrants, personal inventories, personal letters and financial accounts), and archaeological (extant garments in museum collections). Each has their limitations. These three sources provide a fragmentary picture of the garments worn by men and women in the 16th century. There is a need for further sources of evidence to add to the partial record of dress currently available to scholars and, increasingly, those who wish to reconstruct dress for display or wear, particularly for educational purposes. The need for accessible and accurate information on Tudor dress is therefore urgent. Sources which shed new light on the construction of historic dress and provide a comparison or contrast with extant research are invaluable. This paper reports a pilot project which attempted to link the dead, their dress and their documents to create a visual research resource for 16th century costume. 2) The research problem There is a fourth primary source of information that has considerable potential but as yet has been largely overlooked by costume historians. Church effigies are frequently life-size, detailed and dressed in contemporary clothes. They offer a further advantage in the portrayal of many middle class who do not appear in 1 pictorial sources in as great a number as aristocrats.

  • Download Detailed Bibliography
    KEY BOOKS ON MONUMENTS This is a more detailed survey of older books about church monuments, which, instead of following the usual practice, has been compiled in the main in the datal order of their publication. None of these books is specifically about monumental brasses or churchyard memorials, although they may contain references to these subjects. There are many books about such memorials which may be found elsewhere. Most of these books are now out of print. However – with the exception of the antiquarian books - they should be readily available from most libraries, where it may be possible to at least have sight of the antiquarian books also. All these books may be also found for sale from time to time on the web sites of antiquarian and second hand booksellers. The antiquarian books are, as might be expected, very expensive. As well as books about church monuments alone, there is very often information and illustrations in books on sculpture, architecture, churches, topography and county histories, such as the Victoria County History series on England. For example, much valuable information may be found in the Pevsner series – The Buildings of England, of Scotland and of Wales, all of which are in print. Also well worth consulting are the series of county inventories from The Royal Commission of Historical Monuments of England and The Royal Commission of Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland and of Wales; most of these volumes are no longer in print. From an earlier age, topographical and architectural books will describe monuments as they appeared at the time of their writing and, even more importantly, describe monuments which are now lost, sometimes illustrating them.

This article examines a body of evidence compiled from documentary sources, baptismal fonts, and burial mark- ers from Anglo-Norman Yorkshire to reveal the intersections between pastoral care, liturgical practice, parochial formation, patronage, and materiality in this formative period.

ABSTRACT This thesis is about late medieval carpenters, their techniques and their art, and about the structure that became the fusion of their technical virtuosity and artistic creativity: the hammer-beam roof. The structural nature and origin of the hammer-beam roof is discussed, and it is argued that, although invented in the late thirteenth century, during the fourteenth century the hammer-beam roof became a developmental dead-end. In the early fifteenth century the hammer-beam roof suddenly blossomed into hundreds of structures of great technical proficiency and aesthetic acumen. The thesis assesses the role of the hammer-beam roof of Westminster Hall as the catalyst to such renewed enthusiasm. This structure is analysed and discussed in detail.

  • Public Archaeology and Church Monuments Carly Mcevoy
    AP: Online Journal in Public Archaeology Special Volume 3 - 2018 p. 99-126 Public Archaeology and Church Monuments Carly McEVOY University of Chester Received: 06/09/2017 — Accepted: 10/07/2018 Abstract Church monuments within the parish church can provide a wealth of information to the public about the history of that community as well as broader social themes. However, traditionally, publicity available on monuments can be limited and churches operate disparate levels of public access and engagement. Where such access and information is available there is a tendency to focus on the most elaborate and anthropomorphic styles, such as effigies, with a concentration on who they represent. This article will consider why church monuments may be important to communities, and the impediments the public may face when engaging with church monuments, ranging from practical reasons such as accessibility, to the provision of misinformation, selective information, or the lack of any resources being provided. Finally, the article will consider how information about, and engagement with, funerary monuments within the parish church setting is consistent, well researched, and publicly available via digital and non-digital media. Keywords Cheshire, church monuments, community, identity, parish church 100 - Carly McEVOY - Public Archaeology and Church Monuments Introduction Researchers widely acknowledge that later medieval and early modern church monuments operated, and often continue to operate, as key components in both the secular and sacred landscapes of ecclesiastical buildings. They provide evidence of not only spiritual matters, but also support political ideologies in death (Aries 1977; Binski 1996; Litten 1991; Llewellyn 1991), commemoration (Badham 2015; Valdez del Alamo and Pendergast, 2000; Saul 2009), as well as status and lineage (Saul 2001).

  • The Development of Roman Military Costume on English Church Monuments
    International Journal of Art and Art History June 2020, Vol. 8, No. 1, pp. 35-47 ISSN: 2374-2321 (Print), 2374-233X (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/ijaah.v8n1p3 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/ijaah.v8n1p3 The Development of Roman Military Costume on English Church Monuments Clive J Easter1 Abstract This paper considers the development of the portrayal of Roman military costume on English church monuments of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The uses of such costume were rooted in the wider European Renaissance, the effects of which were felt in England from the early sixteenth century. Later Elizabethan and early Jacobean literature employed a wide variety of classical references, the culmination of which were the masques performed for the Jacobean and Caroline Courts which were the ultimate expression of classical ideas and ideals. The early seventeenth century saw the tentative uses of Roman military costume for commemorative sculpture but it was not until the post Restoration period that such costume became commonplace on the memorials of the social elites. The political significance of this dress is further explored as are the corresponding moral and civic associations. The paper concludes with the idea that by the mid eighteenth century such a costume style had become an anachronism and no longer appropriate for the monuments of the gentry. Introduction Most discussions of medieval commemorative monuments include some references to costume and these often focus on developments in defensive armour. By contrast, meaningful discussions of costume on monuments of the early modern period are very few indeed and are again limited to armour and, occasionally, female dress.
