Special offer from Kay Books Online to support The Boston Stump!
Mrs. Rebecca Elliott, the proprietor of Kay Books Online, is the daughter of life-long St. Botolph's parishioner, Dr. Richard Allday, who is the treasurer of the Parish Library Restoration Committee. He is also a local publisher and has a book entitled "Monumental Brasses" by Jeremy Wheeldon, who became interested in church brasses after seeing an exhibition of rubbings in Cambridge. Wheeldon joined the Monumental Brass Society in 1965.
Wheeldon's book, "Monumental Brasses," looks at fifty of the remaining brasses in St. Botolph's Church. Each represents a valuable record of costume, heraldry, and religious belief, along with the skill of the men who designed and engraved them.
Kay Books Online will donate 50p ($1.00) to the St. Botolph's Restoration Appeal for every copy of "Monumental Brasses" sold to purchasers who e-mail requesting this. Please use the "contact us" button on their website or e-mail directly to becky.elliott@kaybooksonline.co.uk at the time of ordering.
