The Art of Remembering DVD is a record
of the exhibition, which was held in the grounds of
Blickling Hall, Norfolk, in 1998. The
DVD records all 54 memorials (seats, boulders, sundials etc,
as well as a wide variety of gravestones). There is a commentary
by the calligrapher and scholar Professor
Ewan Clayton, which reveals the works as
part of a continuing British tradition,
and shows how today's lettering artists are developing that
tradition. Free Information leaflet download or contact us to order a copy by post FORTHCOMING PUBLICATIONS The Memorials by Artists guide (4th edition)

Memorials
by Artists for Young People, Children and Babies is a guide to
help families who are facing the extremely hard task of finding a
memorial to celebrate the life of a young person, from before birth
to 30 years. The book was written with parents in mind but is equally
useful for those who have lost a partner, a sibling or a friend. Over
seventy colour photographs of unique hand-carved and finely lettered
memorials are illustrated, ranging from headstones, tablets and pebbles
to stone seats and bird baths, in stone, slate and wood, from traditional
and classical to unusual and uplifting contemporary work. Articles
give practical advice on a variety of subjects, including wording,
children's involvement, ceremonies, and churchyard rules. Quotations
from bereaved families and several of the artists whose work is illustrated
are also included.
