The greater part of the contract for the monument was rehearsed in the pleadings, and as a result valuable light is shed on the expectations of patrons and the workings of the market in tomb monuments. Today, at Bodiam castle there survives a mutilated fragment of an alabaster torso which, on the evidence of the heraldry, must have formed part of a tomb monument to Sir John Dallingridge. It is suggested that this alabaster effigy is the product of a different commission from the one given to Petit, and that after Petit's dismissal Dallingridge's executors went to a Midlands firm in search of a suitable replacement. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: © 2020 Institute of Historical Research. item: Historical Research holder: Oxford University Press / USA dt: @attributes: year: 2011 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
