Description
Royal Arms in Cornish Churches is an indispensable reference work. An introductory chapter details the historical development of Royal Arms. This is followed by a discussion of plasterwork Arms, chronological and material type lists of Cornish Royal Arms, and a list of artists and restorers. The core of the book is a gazetteer of all Royal Arms known to exist. Each entry provides details of the set, such as its date and design, and a colour picture. This is probably the first time the complete corpus of Arms has been illustrated for this or any county in England. An additional chapter details ringers boards found in church towers in Cornwall. These amusing examples of local art have never before been illustrated. C B Newham is a photographer and author. He is currently documenting the parish churches of England. Rosemary Pardoe is an editor, publisher and writer. In the 1970s and '80s she was responsible for a number of booklets and articles on Royal Arms in Churches.
