A great number of monuments dating from the twelfth to the
twentieth centuries can be seen in cathedrals and churches
throughout England, and they make up a valuable part of the
country's cultural heritage. Not only are they important as works
of art, but they also throw light on many aspects of English
history and life. Brian Kemp introduces the subject of English
church monuments, detailing everything from matters of conservation
and the making of monuments to historical developments, the
changing forms and attitudes of effigies, and the symbolism of
death and immortality. This title includes numerous illustrations
and a list of places where interesting examples can be found.
