Starting early in the 13th century, the wealthy of England began using brass engravings as grave markers. This exhibit provides a visual record ranging from the earliest remaining brass to one created more than 350 years later. Study of the costume, arms, and coats of arms on these markers provides a unique view into the many changes that occurred in British society during the time period.
