10 It would perhaps be unusual for the British Museum to collect replicas, an d one wonder s whether Lindenschmid t is right here. Ther e might be a confusion with the very example unde r discussion, which had gone to someone in Britain as eminent as Pitt-Rivers.

34 Important evidence for post-medieval use of graffiti and of sharpened charcoal stick s to inscribe architectural sketches on plaster was found in 1987 after a fire necessitated removal of wood panellin g from the walls of the State Rooms at Hampton Court Palace. The many drawings of this type include sketches of still existing doors, doorframes, and other architectural features, as well as designs for decorative wood carving s with drops of leaves and flowers, possibl y drawn as well as carved by Grinling Gibbons.

80 The occupation of ‘garlander’ is an ancient one, recorded in London from at least the early fourteenth century, cf. Ekwall, E., Two Early London Subsidy Rolls (London, 1951) 257.Google Scholar Surviving crowns of different materials are recorded as being made by th e relevant specialist Guilds: embroidered silk crowns (e.g. those of the Parish Clerks’ Company by a Broderer) and silver (Barber Surgeons), by a Goldsmith.

81 Accn. No. R. 1919-60, cf. Bennett, Chlöe, The Triumphant Image—Tudor and Stuart Portraits at Christchurch Mansions, Ipswich (Ipswich, 1989).Google Scholar Another portrait showing flamboyant head attire s i that of Mary Fitton, Arbur y Park, Nuneaton, Warwickshire, painte d in 1596. A variant on this theme is the portrait (1640) of Margaret Conyers wife of John Buxton at Strangers Hall, Norwich, where the sitter wears a head-dress of flowers. (It is interesting to note that ‘flowers and garlands’ were listed amongst the haberdashery and small wares imported into Londo n in 1614. Sackville (Knole) MS M399, transcribed in A. M. Millard in ‘Lists of goods (excluding wines) importe d into the port of London by English and alien and denizen merchants for certain years between 1560 an d 1640 compiled from Londo n Port Book s and other sources’ (1955 ) (manuscript in Round Room PRO). John Hovell, a Haberdasher of small wares in Norwich (d. 1681) had ‘a box of holland flowers upo n wire, 21 of them at 2/6’, listed amongst the goods in his probate inventory. (Norfolk Record Office ANW 23/1/114). These may have resembled the fabric and wir e floral crowns found in 1988/9 on the skulls of unmarried women and children during excavations in Antwerp Cathedra l (information from Mrs Joke Bungeneers). ‘Maidens’ garlands’ still survive in some English parish churches as at St Mary's, Beverley; Springthorpe, Corringham, Norfolk; and Abbot's Anne, Hants, amongst others, although of more substantial crown form than thos e at Antwerp.

Other types of crown, known as ‘pastes’ from their imitation stones, were hired out b y churches for weddings, as at St Mary Wolnot h in Lombard Street in 1560, and St Margaret's, Westminster up to 1564, the latter described as a ‘Cerclet for brydes. Item, one past for brydes sett with perle and stone’—hire charge lid. The paste at St Mary Wolnoth also had chains attached. Diary of Henry Machyn Citizen of London 1550-1573, ed. J.G.
