Orinigal Brass Rubbings taken in the early 's from a 14th century church in Buckinghamshire
Each brass rubbing is unique and was taken from the original brass by hand using gold wax crayons on black paper. They were both taken between late and the end of February . Since the mid-'s, churches, cathedrals and abbeys closed their doors to amateur brass rubbers. The brass rubbings were taken from St Leonard church in Chesham Bois in Buckinghamshire. Original parts of St. Leonard church, the nave and chancel date from the 14th century and then in the church was restored and the north aisle added with the tower being built three years later. Further additions were made at a later date. A quote from St. Leonard church web site - 'In the chancel are three brasses. One has figures of Elizabeth, the wife of Robert Cheyne, who died in , in gabled head-dress and Robert Cheyne, who died in in armour of about the date of his wife's death'. Both brasses have been owned by me since March . Ad ID: Delivery Service Consumer Credit
