This book was published in January 2020 by Archaeopress of Oxford. It is also available from the publisher as an ebook. It can be purchased outside the UK via Amazon and Barnes and Noble. It is the first comprehensive account of the largest and finest heraldic monument to survive from medieval England. Each shield is discussed in depth and illustrated with new colour drawings. The identity and motivations of each donor is explored, as the history of each shield is delineated in some 365 chapters. This will be a large format and heavy book with 650 illustrations and 36 pedigrees. For a reconstuction of the cloister as it appeared in 1500 click here.
