232 Bradford-upon-Avon. [Parish Church. 
These two inscriptions, judging from the form of the letters and 
the general style of ornament, can hardly be of an earlier date than 
that of James I. In the vacant space above there is, in the origi- 
nal, some ornamental scroll-work; and, in the second of the lower 
compartments, the representation of a ‘loaf of bread.’

Erricies. We have already spoken of two recumbent stone 
figures within the recessed tombs in the Chancel. About twenty- 
five years ago in carrying out some alterations in the North Aisle 
another effigy was discovered, which had been, at some previous 
time, removed from its original place and used for part of the paving 
of the Aisle, the face of the figure having been placed down- 
wards. It is now placed in the Chancel. It is a female figure, in 
a sort of bas-relief, with the hands joined together on the breast, as 
though in the act of prayer. The hair seems to be braided in a 
plait on each side the forehead; though from age, and rough usage, 
the stone is so worn as to prevent a very accurate description of 
those details from which its date might be ascertained. It belongs 
probably to the latter part of the 14th century, but in memory of 
whom it was at the first placed in the Church we are altogether 
ignorant. 
Brassgs. There are two Monumental Brasses,—one to the memory 
of ‘Thomas Horton and Mary his wife,—and another to the 
memory of ‘Ann, wife of Gifford Long.’ 
The former is near the east end of the North Aisle. It consists of 
of a large black slab of stone inlaid in several places with brass. In 
the centre are two figures, about 13 inches in length, one male, and 
the other female ;—the husband is habited in the Merchant’s costume 
the beginning of the sixteenth century, the wife has the kennel, or 
triangular forehead dress, of the same period. There is a scroll above 
each of them,—the one inscribed ‘ Sancta Trinitas Anus Beus,’ 
—the other ‘ ftliserere Pobis,’ Underneath is the following 
inscription :— 
“Of vot charite pray for the soules of Thomas orton and Mary
