THE MONUMENTAL BRASSES OF WARWICKSHIRE. 
BY E. W. BADGER, M.A. 
( Concluded from page 304.) 
MORTON-MORRELL. —I am indebted to J. A. 
Cossins, Esq., for a rubbing of this brass plate, which reached 
me too late for notice in its proper alphabetical order. The 
plate is inlaid in a stone with incised inscription to the 
memory of Anna Bagshaw. It is 15in. square, and bears the 
crest, a bugle-horn stringed, and some good mantling sur¬ 
rounding a shield on which is a similar horn between three 
roses. Upon a shield of pretence are two squirrels addorsed 
cracking nuts. 
SHUCKBURGH, UPPER.— By the kind permis¬ 
sion of Lady Sliuckburgh I have been able to obtain rubbings 
of the brasses in Sliuckburgh Church, which is situated in her 
ladyship’s grounds. The rubbings were, however, obtained 
too late for notice in alphabetical order. Dugdale gives illus¬ 
trations of three memorials, comprising altogether sixteen 
brass plates. Since Dugdale’s time the sixteen plates (which 
are still extant) have been unfortunately removed from their 
original matrices, mixed up, and relaid in great confusion. 
Wrong inscriptions and arms have been associated with the 
effigies ; the inscriptions have been placed in wrong positions 
upon the tombstones, and four memorials have been con¬ 
structed out of the original three. I will describe the brasses 
as they now exist, and point out the mistakes which have 
been made.
