Monumental brasses of Gloucestershire
Church art in Gloucestershire, England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
About 80 ancient monumental brasses survive in Gloucestershire, many in the parish churches at Cirencester and Northleach. Many have been lost to theft over the ages. The first complete listing of brasses in Gloucestershire was made by Cecil T. Davis, who stated that they may be divided into three categories: ecclesiastical, military and civil.[1]
