AUTHOR'S NOTE. 



To avoid constant repetitions and references the following are 

 the principal works to which I am indebted for information 

 concerning cross-legged effigies, their identification, and the 

 costumes and armour of their period : Hutchins's " History 

 of Dorset," " Portraiture on Monumental Sculpture " (Albert 

 Hartshorne), "The Hauberk of Chain Mail" (J. S. Waller), 

 Boutell's " History of Arms and Armour," and a paper 

 contributed to the Archaeological Journal, Vol. XXIII., on 

 " Cross-legged Effigies of Civilians," by Mr. M. H. Bloxham. 



In a special measure would I thank Mr. Hartshorne for the 

 valuable assistance he has given me, and Dr. Colley March, 

 who most kindly read this paper in MS. form and placed at 

 my disposal that vast store of antiquarian knowledge which 

 is his.
