| Abstract: |
The church of St Bride's, Douglas, contains a series of tombs and memorials to members of the Douglas family. Three of these, dating from the second quarter of the fourteenth century to the mid-fifteenth century, take the form of recesses, and are set within the north and south walls of the choir. The architecture of the earliest of these shows an awareness of the work of late-thirteenth/early-fourteenth-century English court masons, while the canopies of the other two are more closely related to major Scottish building campaigns, notably at Melrose and possibly at Lincluden. The scope of the sources for all three tombs is a reflection of the status of their patrons, and the high quality of the effigies emphasises their high social standing. |
