CP11 Brass Rubbing at St. Martin in-the-Fields, London.  Also available to watch on YouTube. Join Sharon as she tries her hand at the medieval practice of brass rubbing tombstones at St. Martin’s in-the-fields Church in London.  Learn about the art of brass rubbing and the history behind the art.  With dozens of tombstones to choose from, Sharon picked a tombstone of a famous 13th century power couple, Sir Thomas and Lady Margaret de Beauchamp, the Earl and Countess of Warwick.  We’ll find out what happened to these people in real life and how their legacy will live on forever.
