This compact, accessible guide reproduces fifty-two Latin memorials taken from churches situated throughout England’s West Country. Parker explains the basics of Latin grammar in a clear and concise fashion that allows beginners (or those who have long forgotten the intricacies of Latin cases and declensions) to translate and understand the Latin script on public buildings, churches, or in mottos.
