Painted heraldic panels

The object of this paper is to invite opinions on the purpose of a certain type of heraldic panel which is akin to the hatchment but is, in fact, quite distinct from it. The writers also wish to enlist help in recording further examples, whether lost or surviving, and to urge the preservation of the latter. They also desire to establish the number of cases where a monument of a permanent nature to the same person, as is commemorated by a panel can be found in the same church or churchyard; the only instance of a panel and corresponding memorial, other than the nineteenth-century examples at Lindfield, traced by the writers so far is in Salisbury Cathedral (see p. 83)
