Latest Journal Vol XXXVII
This volume covers a range of territories and periods - a Portuguese monastery, the inventory of a Parisian tomb-maker, Welsh poetry at Brecon, the Halsey monuments in Great Gaddesden and the bale tombs of the Cotswolds.
It is a particular pleasure to publish Giulia Rossi Vairo's study of a monument in the Portuguese monastery of Odivelas, which she suggests commemorates the young grandson of the founder. This was the runner-up entry in the 2020 CMS Essay Prize. Details of the current essay competition are at https://churchmonumentssociety.org/get-involved/competitions/essay-competition.
We are currently looking for a new co-editor for the Journal. This is a great way to get involved with the work of the Society - and you get first look at all the new research. More details at https://churchmonumentssociety.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=22504&action=edit .
