Research Remarks
| Published Description | From the catalogue, An Exhibition of Medieval Brass Rubbings by Kathleen H. Cairns. "Walter Hewke-Died 1517, Doctor of Civil Law, master of the College. In cope with the twelve apostles on the orphrey. Brass engraved in 1510. The date of his death was not engraved. It is thought that Hewke or the College ordered the brass several years before his death and it may even have been laid in the fore-court of the chapel, where it remains today. TRANSLATINO OF INSCRIPTION: If there be any fame in the schools, praise of arts, other exceedingly vain things of the world, let them fare well. My own hope is Jesus. Lift up, Watler, good Jesus, in the end of days. Who died A.D.151-" |
