Researcher's notes

Provenance

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 maker's 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".
