"Rubbing of memorial brasses is no longer permitted; our collection of English brass rubbings was made during a sabbatical year 1969-1970 before it was forbidden. These rubbings represent many dates, occupations, and locations of English brasses. Different brasses were chosen for different reasons - to illustrate armor, costume, and the life of the time. The collection shows our personal synthesis of historical, social, and aesthetic perspectives." --from Foreword.

This book explores the long history of memorial brasses from the middle ages, when they provided handsome substitutes for the stone effigies which had begun to occupy too much space in the churches. The often ignored Victorian revival is included and the recent development using modern materials, which have been for many people their introduction to the subject. It seeks to help extend their involvement in an artistic hobby into an understanding of the social history which memorial brasses illustrate.
