A letter to the Editor from the MBS President in @thetimes today about the damage that bats cause to historic church interiors, and a call for funding solutions that support both healthy bat populations and preservation of brasses. @BatsinChurches @HeritageFundUK @kwilsonlee
This brass from Stoke-in-Teignhead, Devon, provokes more questions than a Valentine from a secret admirer. Why is it in French? What was it originally attached to? Why is there a comma after every word? Why is the plate heart-shaped? Who are the people in the inscription?
Answers to some of these questions available here: mbs-brasses.co.uk/index-of-b…
Detail of the brass to Robert and Elizabeth Rugge in St John Maddermarket, Norwich, the subject of a recent addition to the online portfolio of brasses on the Monumental Brass Society website.
