The Journal
- XXXVI
- 2021
Papers in this volume are focused on post-medieval monuments in England, with book reviews extending period and geography. The seven articles cover a variety of locations (churches, a college chapel and a school crypt) and demonstrate the range of evidence that can be brought to bear on understanding a monument and its context.
It is a particular pleasure to publish Christina Faraday's study of monuments in the college chapel of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. This was the winning submission in the 2020 CMS Essay Prize. Details of the current essay competition are at https://churchmonumentssociety.org/get-involved/competitions/essay-competition.
