History is made manifest through monuments. Through art and architecture, patrons sought to perpetuate memories and keep the dead in mind. In so doing, they created some of the highest achievements of English art. This broad survey course looks at ways of remembering, from the emergence of modern modes of public honour in the 17th century
This course looks at the rise of the public statue, the face of royal commemoration, the ways of honouring military and naval losses, and the rise of private memorials. Visits range from ancient places of sepulture in Wessex to the great shrines of Westminster Abbey and St Paul's Cathedral, the finest depositories of sculpture in Britain. We look at the cult of the churchyards
