Loving Cups and Grace Cups
The paper discusses the ceremony of the Loving Cup that follows the dinners of many City of London livery companies. It concludes that, far from being of Saxon origin, as has been widely believed, it was a Romantic revival of the late eighteenth century derived, almost certainly, from the medieval use of grace cups

The Lullingstone Helm
The paper discusses a tournament-helm from Lullingstone Church, Kent, which was identified as ‘English ... of the first quarter of the sixteenth century’ by the late Sir James Mann in a paper read at a meeting of the Society, at which it was exhibited, on 22 October 1931.

An Oxford Brasiers' Dispute of the 1390s
A contract of 1392 between two Oxford brasiers, with an account of the ensuing dispute, provides important evidence for the organization of the medieval brasier's craft andfor technical aspects of his trade. One brasier employed another to make pots, bells and fawtys (probably faucets) for a flat payment by weight. The master-brasier provided the raw materials, comprising scrap brass on the one hand, and graycober (perhaps antimonial copper) and …
Welsh Bucklers
The paper deals with a well-known group of Tudor bucklers (once thought to be Roman), made of leather reinforced with riveted iron or brass rings, sometimes accompanied by radiating strips. The evidence of a group of fifteenth-and sixteenth-century Welsh poems and other records is used to establish that they originated in Wales, and that Wrexham was a noted centre of production. A corpus of recorded examples is given
I.— The Emperor Maximilian's Gift of Armour to King Henry VIII and the Silvered and Engraved Armour at the Tower of London
The armour that forms the main subject of this paper is perhaps the best known of the many historical harnesses preserved in the national armoury at the Tower of London (Inv. no. II. 5) (pls. i, ii, viii a, b , xv; figs. 3–10, pp. 45–50). An account of it—which must be the earliest study of a single armour in any European language—was published by Dr. (later Sir) Samuel Rush Meyrick as long ago as 1829, and since then it has figured prominently i…
