This set of three brass coffin depositum plates of the same family. These items were removed with the family's permission upon the deconsecration of the church and clearing of crypts etc. The two earlier in classic Gothick style are professionally manufactured by Ingali Parson whilst the 1893 piece is heavily influenced by Arts & Crafts taste and has no makers mark. Professionally restored in Birmingham's Jewellery quarter - several splits mended. The tip of one shield missing. Greatest dimensions given: of shields 16" x 12.25" and the trapezoid plate 17" x 14".

Coffin plates often contain birth and death dates, and sometimes the place of birth or the occupation of a deceased person.
While not technically a true vital record, coffin plates can be seen as a substitute for vital records or at the least a good clue. In the case of people who died before civil registration it might be one of the few written records genealogists will find in their hunt for that brick wall ancestor!
If you want to know more about what things qualify as a true Vital Records there is a good article at the Olive Tree.
Remember when searching for Coffin Plates on the net they are sometimes referred to as Coffin Plaques, Casket plates or Casket Plaques.
