Description | From the catalogue, An Exhibition of Medieval Brass Rubbings by Kathleen H. Cairns. "Man in armour, probably of the Dalison family, c. 1400. An altar tomb. This brass was altered in the 16th century by the insertion of a new foot inscription to William Dalison, 1549. He was sheriff, escheator and justice of the peace for the county. The inscription was also for his son and heir, George. See rubbing from Gunby for a similar appropriation of a memorial. INSCRIPTION: Here lies William D'Alison, Esquire, formerly sheriff and Receiver for the county of Lincoln and the 7th Justice of the Peace of the same county. And George D'Alison, son and heir of the above William, who died December 18th A.D. 1546, the 37th year of the Imperial Reign of King Henry VIII and the said George died January 22d A.D. 1549 in the third year of the Imperial Reign of King Edward VI. Upon whose souls may God have mercy. Amen." |
