This finely engraved brass is unique in that until 1910 it was mounted forty feet up on the outside of the church tower, from where it looked out over the delightful Lincolnshire countryside for over four hundred years.

In the time of King Henry VIII, when the final break with the Church of Rome took place in England, Henry's emissaries travelled the kingdom seeking out and destroying all relics of the famous English Saint. The position of this brass, however, ensured it's safety: as local legend has it, "Henry just did not have a long enough ladder"!

No records exist to indicate who is commemorated by the brass but from the rivet holes - still visible by the tower clock - he was depicted as a small figure kneeling at the feet of, and being blessed by, the Archbishop

Anne Boleyn 2nd Queen of Henry VIII 1507-36

£88.13

Height in inches: 17

Width in inches: 10

Weight in kg: 2.1

Full Scale, Replica or Theme? Theme (BLACK OUTER)

Anne was the daughter of sir Thomas Bullen of Hever in Kent. Her elder sister, Mary, was Henry VIII's mistress in about 1520, and Anne owed much to her swift rise to favour at Court to her sister.

As lady-in-waiting to Queen Catherine, Anne caught the eye of Henry, who became infatuated by her dark beauty and winning wiles. But she had no intention of becoming just another of his mistresses and this gave impetus to Henry's plans to obtain a divorce from Atherine of Aragon. In his pursuit of a male heir he married Anne in 1533 and she bore him a daughter, Elizabeth (later to become Elizabeth I).

But after she miscarried of a boy child, her failure to produce a male heir and the plotting of her enemies led to her fall from favour and eventual execution on a charge of adultery.

Resin Wall Plaque - "The Jester"

Size - 4 ins. x 4 ins. (10.0 cm x 10.0 cm)

This figure is taken from a Flemish manuscript of about 1320, at the time of King Edward III. The Jester holds his traditional ‘bauble’ which was used as a foil for his humorous antics, rather like the ventriloquist and his dummy of today. It was an indulgence of monarchs in the medieval Court to retain a Jester in their service to bring humour in times of trouble and a smile to a soul wearied by the burdens of statecraft.

Henry VIII had four Fools: Will Somers, the Duke of Lancaster, Diego the Spaniard and Peche, to whom, it is recorded, he gave 6s. 8d. ‘in reward ’ on January 12th. 1493. Elizabeth, wife of Henry VII had ‘Patch’, Queen Elizabeth ‘Robert Grene’, James I ‘Archie Armstrong’ and ‘Thomas Derrie’.

The last court Fool in England was, unsurprisingly, that of Charles I: it remained unrecorded whether ‘Muckle John’s’ humorous talents were sufficient to raise a smile on the decapitated monarch’s face as it lay in the wicker basket…… The background of the plaque is a medieval decorative device - the ‘quatrefoil’ (‘four-leaf’).

This figure is designed, sculpted and manufactured in England, using resin-bonded Cotswold stone or Terracotta. Modern moulding techniques faithfully reproduce the intricate and painstaking work of the sculptor whilst giving the appearance of real carved stone or sculpted terracotta.

You can hang this impressive plaque either inside or outside the home because the resin is completely weatherproof.

Truly a unique Gift Idea, which is well presented in an attractive, 'leatherette' style, burgundy coloured box.

A hole indent is provided in the rear for simple hanging.

Resin Wall Plaque - "Tambour"

Size - 5 ins. x 2.25 ins. (12.7 cm x 5.7 cm)

This figure beats time for a village dance on a medieval drum, or 'tambour'.

High days and holidays were once celebrated by communal dancing - often large circle dances either round a tree or a maypole on the village green.

While the fiddler or piper played the tune it was the drummer who kept the rhythm.

Based on a small drawing in the corner of an anonymous 13th. century illuminated manuscript.

The figure shown on this plaque is taken from an illumination in a Book of Hours in the British Library from about 1350.

This casting is designed, sculpted and manufactured in England, using resin-bonded Cotswold stone or Terracotta. Modern moulding techniques faithfully reproduce the intricate and painstaking work of the sculptor whilst giving the appearance of real carved stone or sculpted terracotta.

You can display this impressive plaque either inside or outside the home because the resin is completely weatherproof.
