Mind thee to die: the Beresford monument at Fenny Bentley
Paula Frosch
31 - 43
A survey of the Beresford Monument and an in-depth comparison with a variety of other shrouded effigies reveals it to be far more than a `macabre oddity'. Possibilities are raised for a new interpretation of the Derbyshire monument's composition and intent. Includes:
Appendix 1: full inscription on Beresford Monument
42
Appendix 2: act of burial in woollen only
42 - 43
Chrysoms, shrouds and infants on English tomb monuments: a question of terminology?
Sophie Oosterwijk
44 - 64
Considers the meaning of the term `chrysom', which is used to describe effigies and weepers of swaddled infants on tomb monuments. Suggests that it is likely that the images represent infants who died in the swaddling stage, ie within the first few months of their lives. As such, they illustrate the need on the part of the parents and siblings to commemorate the brief lives of the children.
The Smithson Monument at Stanwick, North Yorkshire
Lawrence A S Butler
65 - 70
Conservation work on the late-seventeenth-century table tomb of Sir Hugh and Lady Smithson in St John's Church, Stanwick, has provided details of the original location and design of the monument. It has also enabled the sculptor to be identified as [William] Stanton of London.
Entombed like an Egyptian: an eighteenth century surgeon's extravagant mausol...
Matthew Craske
71 - 88
Discusses the construction of a pyramid monument to the London surgeon Francis Douce, which was errected in Lower Wallop, Hampshire, in the late 1740s. Considers the general history of Egyptology in the mid-eighteenth century, in particular the interest of surgeons in the subject of Egyptian embalming.
