THE MONUMENTAL BRASSES OF WARWICKSHIRE. 
Part of tlie date appears to have been obliterated ; pro¬ 
bably the word was “ quadragesimo,” as Thomas Slmckburgli 
was, according to Dugdale, “ in Commission for Conservation 
of the peace from 18 H. 7. to the end of that King’s Raign, 
and for many years in H. 8. Time.” 
III.— Anthony Shukburgh Esq. c& w. Anne, 1594. Haines. 
As now arranged, this memorial consists of a shield like 
the one already described in No. I., the inscription just 
quoted, and two effigies, about 2ft. long. Nothing of the 
man remains but the head, with close-cropped hair and 
beard, moustache, and ruff. The rest of the figure has 
been engraved upon the stone recently. The lady’s effigy 
has lost part of the head-dress, which is that known as the 
“ Paris hood.” She wears a ruff, an under-dress with 
embroidered skirt, and gathered in pleats at the throat, and 
gown with wide falling collar, open in front, except just at 
the waist, where it is confined by a loose sash. The figure 
should be compared with that at Exhall. 
The shield of arms over Margt. Cotes belongs to these 
figures, but the inscription is wrongly assigned to them, for 
they represent Anthony Slmckburgli and his wife, 1594. The 
late style of costume proves this, and any doubts will be set 
at rest by a comparison with Dugdale’s illustration. Upon 
the same stone should also be a group of three boys in 
civilian gowns and ruffs, another of five girls attired as the 
lady described above ; two shields emblazoned arg. two bars 
gules for Foxley, and a plate, llin. by 9in., engraved with the 
Shuckburgh crest altered and a shield of six quarterings, 
Shuckburgh, Dysert, Lunell, and three others. The groups 
of children, the last-mentioned shields, and the following 
inscription of Anthony Shuckburgh form the fourth brass as 
they are now placed :—

In English : Death conquers death : through death we 
shall live after death. 
WIXFORD. I .— Thos. de Crnwe, Esq., and w. Juliana, 
1411. Haines. 
This is the finest brass in the county. The two effigies, 
each 5ft. long, are placed beneath a double canopy 8ft. high 
and 3ft. 2in. wide, with crockets upon the pinnacles and
