Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monumental Brasses in the Bedfordshire Churches Before commencing on the subject of the various brasses in the Bedfordshire churches, may I say a few words about the material of which brasses are composed? The metal consists of a mixture of copper, zinc, lead, and tin, and is called 'laton.' Some of the districts where it was engraved in England were Norwich, Ipswich, and Bristol. When the brass was completed ready for fixing into the floor, it was handed over to a mason, often an illiterate man, who could not read nor write; consequently mishaps occurred, as, for example, some of the brasses being placed upside down, because of his inability to read what was written thereon. The earlier the date of the brasses, the better is the material and more accurate the workmanship. After the fourteenth century brasses deteriorated as to their cutting - in fact, in some of the later brasses the features, etc., are so badly cut that a good rubbing cannot be obtained from them. After the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII. very many of our brasses were destroyed; even in the following reign the brasses suffered severely.

Download or read book Beliefs and the Dead in Reformation England written by Peter Marshall and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2002-07-11 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive study of one of the most important aspects of the Reformation in England: its impact on the status of the dead. Protestant reformers insisted vehemently that between heaven and hell there was no 'middle place' of purgatory where the souls of the departed could be assisted by the prayers of those still living on earth. This was no remote theological proposition, but a revolutionary doctrine affecting the lives of all sixteenth-century English people, and the ways in which their Church and society were organized. This book illuminates the (sometimes ambivalent) attitudes towards the dead to be discerned in pre-Reformation religious culture, and traces (up to about 1630) the uncertain progress of the 'reformation of the dead' attempted by Protestant authorities, as they sought both to stamp out traditional rituals and to provide the replacements acceptable in an increasingly fragmented religious world. It also provides detailed surveys of Protestant perceptions of the afterlife, of the cultural meanings of the appearance of ghosts, and of the patterns of commemoration and memory which became characteristic of post-Reformation England. Together these topics constitute an important case-study in the nature and tempo of the English Reformation as an agent of social and cultural transformation. The book speaks directly to the central concerns of current Reformation scholarship, addressing questions posed by 'revisionist' historians about the vibrancy and resilience of traditional religious culture, and by 'post-revisionists' about the penetration of reformed ideas. Dr Marshall demonstrates not only that the dead can be regarded as a significant 'marker' of religious and cultural change, but that a persistent concern with their status did a great deal to fashion the distinctive appearance of the English Reformation as a whole, and to create its peculiarities and contradictory impulses.
