Abstract:		 The eighteenth century slate engravers of Leicestershire are a neglected school of craftsmen. They appeared in response to a demand from a population steadily growing in affluence. In the Middle Ages only the very rich or the very holy were buried inside the church, and commemorated by splendid tombs and tombstones: the rest of the population were buried outside in the churchyard, and if they were commemorated at all, it would have been in wood. Such memorials do not survive the centuries, although there are some indications that they existed. But after the Wars of the Roses, England steadily built up its strength, and new classes of people became affluent enough to afford more permanent memorials of their dead.
