A large synthesis of commemorative monuments with discussion of
earlier studies and ideas on monuments in the county of Norfolk.
Jonathan Finch divides the study chronologically: monuments before
1400, 1400-1549, post-Reformation monuments, 1700-1849. The large
volume of data is firmly placed within its temporal, spatial and
social context which places it apart from other syntheses of these
monuments. In this study Finch is able to identify broad and often
very subtle patterns of change in the act of commemoration and the
role of monuments, highlighting in particular the gradual shift
from Christian iconography of the cross slab to more personal
inscriptions, reflecting a change from the visual to textual and a
growing concern with the fate of the individual rather than the
fate of the dead in general.
