~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A comprehensive list of brasses throughout the country (but little more detail than the church, name and date) is included in Richard le Strange's 

A Complete Descriptive Guide To

British Monumental Brasses. b

Thames & Hudson, 1972

You are more likely to find this book than Mary Rensten's book in a family history library - so it is a useful additional check list of which Hertfordshire churches have brasses.

Macklin's Monumental Brasses

This book contains significant information about the history of monumental brasses but only an bried summary of the Hertfordshire churches which contain such brasses.
