Abstract
The return of Lady Blount
Ann Dowden
356 - 359
Positively identifies a brass, purchased in 1989 by the British Museum, as depicting Elizabeth Blount. The brass was originally at the church in South Kyme, Lincolnshire.
A sixteenth century indent at Hungarton, Leicestershire
Paul Cockerham
360 - 372
The location of an indent at the church of St John the Baptist is described in the literature as being the site of a brass commemorating Mary Cave. The style of the brass, confirmed by the indent, would date it stylistically to 1525--30, possibly an example of the fourth series Coventry style. However, other documentary researches instead identify the individual as Margaret Cave who died c 1559. The incongruity between style and date is provisionally attributed to the re-use of a brass from a monastic site at a later date. The importance of indents in monumental brass studies is emphasised.
Short note on the brass to John Marske
Paul Cockerham
373 - 375
Once present in Charlecote Church, Warwickshire, but now missing. The only evidence remaining is in the form of a collection of `indifferent' rubbings which bear attributes from both Coventry series three and two. Similarities to these and other brasses might suggest a date in the region of 1515, but evidence is not conclusive.
Monumental brasses and the Reformation
Richard Rex
376 - 394
This paper considers changes in the style of brasses and other funerary monuments, between 1400 and 1700, which are normally attributed to the influence of Protestant concepts underpinning the Reformation. Increased use of the English language to commemorate an individual and create what has been termed a secular memory was thought to be the direct result of Protestant thought. The memory of the dead was no longer kept alive by intercessory prayer and Catholic ritual thus direct recording of the deceased on their funerary monument became the only hope of immortality. However, evidence from countries in Catholic Europe shows a similar shift toward a more humanist approach. It is concluded that broader social changes across Europe as a whole, particularly the impact of the Renaissance and humanism, were responsible for the change.
An incised slab at Husbands Bosworth, Leicestershire
F A Greenhill
395 - 399
Posthumous re-publication of a record made public in 1975. The slab commemorates Erasmus Smith and gives the date of death as 1616, although conflicting records report 1615. The work is attributed to Epiphany Evesham or one of his staff.

William Lack
413 - 433
Notes repairs to monumental brasswork in Britain undertaken by the Society during the year.
