MONUMENTAL BRASSES IN THE

CITY OF YORK.

BY MILL STEPHENSON, B.A., F.S.A.

THE brasses still remaining in the churches of the city of York form a small series of considerable interest, as nearly all are the product of a local school of engravers. That this school was settled in the city itself is most probable, but so far no record of the earlier engravers has been found. In the seventeenth century signed plates by various engravers occur in different parts of the county.1 Examples by Thomas Mann, of York, appear at Lowthorpe (E.R.), 1665, Normanton (W.R.), 1668, Helmsley (N.R.), 1671, Ingleby Arncliffe (N.R.), 1674, and Rudstone (E.R.), 1677. A Thomas Mann, of Lendall Street, York, architect, by will dated 27 November, 1680, proved 10 March, 1681-2, gives to his brother, Joshua Mann, "all such tooles of mine as he now worketh with." Plates signed by

J. Mann occur in York at St. Michael-le-Belfry, 1680 and 1683, St. Michael, Spurriergate, 1681, and at Bedale (N.R.), 1681. In one case, St. Sampson, York, 1680, the Christian name Joshua is given in full. It may therefore be fairly assumed that Thomas Mann, architect, and his brother Joshua are responsible for these signed plates, and that they combined the business of architect with that of brass engraving. The plate to William Holmes in the church of St. Denys bears the signature, "Robart Holme," with a small device between the words, but whether this is an engraver's signature. or whether it is intended to record that his son Robert laid down the brass is doubtful, the device being rather in favour of the former theory.

1 At Bedale (N. R.), "Ric. Crosse," 1694; Bradfield (W.R.), "Fr. Griggs," 1647; other examples of his work occur at Upton Cresset, Salop, 1640, and St. Osyth's, Essex, 1640; Darfield (W.R.),

VC L. XVIII,

"Martin Raynold," 1670; Nunkeeling (E. R.), "Gabr. Hornbie," 1629; and Thornton-le-Street (N. R.), "P. Brigges, Ebor," 1680.
