INTRODUCTION. 


i. 

T HE custom of giving rings as a personal memorial is, as every 
student of early Wills is aware, as old as the making of Wills 
themselves* At first a legacy of intrinsic value to near relations, 
in the course of time the gift of a ring becomes the especial recognition 
of friendship or services required of executor and overseer. The 
unfortunate King Richard II. in making his Will, on the eve of that 
journey to Ireland, from which he returned to find his kingdom in the 
hands of another, left “one golden ring” to each of the five bishops and 
four great nobles he named his executors* Two hundred years later 
William Shakespeare, in the well known Will signed at Stratford on 
New Years Day (25 March 1616), gave and bequeathed “to Hamlet 
Sadler 26 s B d to buy him a ring,” and made similar bequests to three 
other Stratford friends, and to three of his “fellows,” Burbage, Heming 
and Condell* In the 16th century the custom of giving rings grew 
apace ; sums of money were left to be bestowed in rings and distributed 
to friends unnamed, and such bequests are found as the following from 
the Will in 1648 of Jaspar Despotin, a foreign physician settled at Bury 
St Edmunds, “ ten rings of gold to be made of the value of twenty 
shillings a peece sterling with a deaths head vpon some of them within 
one moneth after my depture and to be disposed of amongst my friends 
as my executrices shall thinke meet” 

From the plain ring of gold of early times the Mourning Ring had 
by the middle of the 17th century assumed certain features of a 
distinctive character, and it is at this period that it becomes the 
“Memorial” Ring of the present collection; that is to say, a ring 
bearing a distinct inscription in memory of one who had departed. 
Indeed, thq increase, if not the origin, of Memorial Rings may be said to 
be due to the rings made for horror-stricken loyalists, and inscribed to 


1 









the memory of King Charles with such inscriptions as: “ Emigravit 
Gloria Angli : Ja : the 30 1648”; the earliest ring in this collection bears 
a date within four years of the king’s death. 

The custom of giving rings spread rapidly, and the numbers given 
soon became very great. Pepys records receiving several, generally in 
his official character, one such instance will suffice. On March 29, 
1669, he writes: “At Greenwich I come to Captain Cocke’s where the 
house full of company at the burial of James Temple; here I had a 
very good ring which I did give my wife as soon as I come home." 
At his own death in 1703, 123 rings of various value were given 
away, only eight of which were to near relations. Another significant 
instance may be taken from the diary of Ralph Thoresby, the historian 
of Leeds, “15 April 1702. Afternoon at the funeral of my excellent 
and dear friend D r Thomas Gale, Dean of York, who was interred 
with great solemnity ; lay in state, 200 rings (besides scarves to bearers 
and gloves to all) given in the room where 1 was which yet would not 
contain the company.” 

In the following pages all references in Wills that have been found 
to Mounting Rings have been given, a few of special interest may be 
quoted here. It was often customary for the testator to refer to 
separate lists of persons to whom rings were to be presented, these 
lists are not always found with the Wills; two are given: William 
Reynolds (No. 349) names 73 persons, including the ringmaker, and 
George Hunter (No. 868) gives a list of 36 rings. Mrs. Elizabeth 
Edwards (No. 47) names her relations, to whom she gives “a ring to 
be enamelled with the day of my death, and marked E. E. in them 
severally to be of the value of a Guinea.” It may be remarked that, 
though the rings are enamelled, the initials and date are in accordance 
with the older custom, engraved inside. Thomas Blake (No. 409) 
wishes his rings to be “of one guinea value and to be made by 
M r Jones.” The “immensely proud” Sir Samuel Prime, King’s 
Serjeant-at-Law (No. 529), recommends to his son “to consider of 
delivering fashionable Mourning Rings of the Value of one Guinea each 
unto every such person as I shall mention or describe in a List of 
Names,” and we note that the “fashionable” ring was of plain gold 
enamelled with the name and date of death. Of another mind was 
another Serjeant-at-Law, James Foster (No. 602), who desires “No Rings 
to be given but to my Children.” The Rev. Daniel Sandford (No. 595 ) 
leaves the most precise instructions for every particular of his burial and 
memorials; the ring to be given is to be “a neat Mourning Ring four 
pennyweight and an half of Gold without the Enamel the Pattern of 
that I had for my Mother or some neater Pattern so that the Letters may 
be large and bought of the very maker and he to be a good hand,” 
William Masterman (No. 708) apologises for possible neglect “ It may 
happen from want of recollection I may have omitted the names of 


2 











persons to whom 1 might have wished in point of respect to have paid 
the same compliment of Rings, My Desire is that my Executors * * . 
make good any such omission/ 1 Sir James Sanderson (No* 901), an 
ex-Lord Mayor of London, is typical of the views held on such rings 
during the last years of the fashion, when he desires to give “good and 
Substantial Mourning Rings " to the Court of Aldermen and others; and 
the rings given were of good weight and hall-marked* 


I N the descriptive Catalogue that follows, the rings have been 
arranged in strict chronological order, and in this way the general 
change in form and the prevailing fashion at any period can easily 
be ascertained. Two rings only in this collection are of silver, and 
these commemorate King George L 
(No* 43), and his distinguished subject 
John Gay, the poet (No* 72). All the others are of gold of varying 

jvuiju degree of fineness, and for form and 
ornamentation may be briefly divided 
into four periods. The earliest period may be taken as ending with 
the reign of Queen Anne* During this period the rings are as a 
rule plain gold or gold enamelled in patterns that repeat the accepted 
emblems of death : skeleton, spade and pick, hour-glass, cross-bones, etc., 

as may be seen in No. 30, 
and the inscription is engraved 
deeply on the inside of the 
ring as in No* 4. There is seldom a separate 
head or bezil, but in earlier examples it 
took the form of a scull as in No. 5, or a 

small box covered with crystal as in the ring made in memory of 
Queen Anne (No. [4), 

This period was followed for some sixty years by one in which the 
prevailing characteristic is the inscription in raised gold letters surrounded 
by black or white enamel. The use of these enamelled inscriptions seems 
to have been introduced from France, and it is supposed was for many 
years the work of French workmen; the earliest enamelled inscription 
in this collection is of the year 1717 (No. 17); fine and exacting as 
is the workmanship required for these inscriptions, in a few cases 
more difficult tasks were accomplished, thus in Nos* 63 and 274 the 
shanks are formed of two separate and intertwined inscriptions, and 
in No* 53 the inscription is actually enamelled 

within the ring. 




o 













The use of white enamel to commemorate the unmarried seems to 
have originated in this period, the earliest example in the following pages 
is the ring to Dorothy Tenison (No. 40), daughter of the Bishop of 
Ossory, who died at the age of 15 in 1726. A further and beautiful 
feature of the enamelled rings of the 18th century is the division of 
the ring or shank into scrolls, of which two examples are here given, 



Nos. 129 and 146. The heads as a rule are still small, and w r here not 
formed of a single stone, contain crystals covering initials or a death’s 
head. Occasionally, as in No. 66, it is shaped like a coffin, and contains 
a skeleton in enamel, or an urn in black enamel set with small diamonds, 
No. 125; perhaps the most beautiful ring of this period is No. 334, 
the head of which is formed by an amethyst and four rose diamonds in 
an openwork setting. 

The most ornate period of rings comprises the last twenty-five 
years of the 18th century, the leading feature of which is the large 
marquise-shaped head with elaborate devices sometimes painted or worked 
in hair on ivory, and at times formed in gold wire, seed-pearls, ivory and 
enamel. These elaborate devices seem to have originated simply in the 
practice of enclosing hair in the head of the ring. As the head grew 
in size the small portion of hair was flattened and spread out, gradually 
taking the form of a tree; in the year 1767 alone there are four such 
trees formed out of hair. The next step was to introduce an urn or 
tomb under the tree, which became willow-shaped; and then a figure, 
at first female, and afterwards male, leaning over or seated by the tomb. 
From this point the way was open to any device that fancy might 
dictate, and we have, as in No. 590, an urn standing on a pedestal 
formed with pearls, gold and ivory, a female figure seated beside it 
beneath a willow, and above in the clouds a cherub, while the base of 
the tomb is inscribed: “Heaven has in store what thou has lost”; 
or with still less congruity a landscape with church, river and boat, as 
in No. 516. 

To this period also belong rings with portraits; the silhouette on 
ivory of Henry Hance (No. 935), the miniature of Queen Caroline 
(No. 1011) and the Tassie portraits of Dr. Yonge, Bishop of Norwich 
(No. 655), and Edward Montague, a Master in Chancery (No. 904). 

The final period of rings may be said to begin with the 19th 
century; its leading characteristic is the size and massive value of its 
products. The enamelled inscription is largely replaced by the words 


4 



BD ws lonu-TH u rloW'Ob; i 2 SEP: isotj- jC :7<? 


“ In Memory of,” while the individual name is engraved inside. The 
large head with elaborate device 
again disappears, and its place 
is taken by a small head with 
enamelled coronet or initials, as 

in No. 968. The only new form that this period can claim to have 
introduced is that of the ring in form of a serpent; but as examples of 
these are later than the year 1837, they have not been included in this 
Catalogue. 



III. 

T HE present Collection of Memorial Rings is, we believe, the 
first that has been made on any extensive scale, and this fact 
may offer some excuse for calling attention to a few rings 
that either in form or inscription appear of exceptional interest. 
No. 23 is the only example of an armorial signet ring with memorial 
inscription, and No. 34 also represents alone the large 
class of decade or rosary rings with engraved head. Of 
more personal interest is the Ring (No. 164) com¬ 
memorating the execution of Lord Lovat on Tower Hill; the 
death of an old man, remarkable alike for his gifted personality and 
unscrupulous service and betrayal of all parties, had attracted enormous 
crowds, with the consequent fall of an over-burdened stand and several 
deaths. “ The more mischief the greater sport ” was the old man’s 
comment, but before he suffered, with a keener appreciation of what 

was still possible, he murmured the words “ Dulce et Decorum est pro 
patria mori ” which are engraved on the ring. One example at least 
of the rebus ring finds a place in this collection in No. 235, where 
the arrangement of stones signify “ Regard,” The inscription on Ring 
No. 272 is of interest, “E Legge born 3 Sep 1670 aged 84,” and 
refers to the Hon ble Elizabeth Legge, second daughter of Admiral 
Lord Dartmouth ; it is only to be supposed that the ring was made 
in the lifetime of the elderly lady to allow of a personal distribution 
to her friends; her death took place six years later at the age of ninety. 

It has been found that in several cases the date given on a ring 
does not correspond exactly with that arrived at from other sources, 

nor is it claimed that the ring date is always correct, indeed some 
instances have been noted where it is obviously at fault, as in Ring 
No. 756, where the date of Lady Castlehaven’s death is given as 
29 July 1798 instead of 31 July 1789. On the other hand, William 

Oswell, sometime Mayor of Shrewsbury, rests in his parish church of 


5 























St* Alkmund, beneath the inscription which tells that he died 15 July 
1763 (No. 661), while the Memorial Ring (No. 307) gives the correct 
date 16 August 1763. 

The sense of national loss that overshadowed the glory of Trafalgar 
finds expression in the Ring that commemorates the great Admiral 
(No* 963), In addition to the initials N B and Trafalgar, 
the Ring is inscribed "Lost to his country Oct 1 ’ 21 st 1805T 
and added thereto the proud Nelson motto " Palmani qui 
meruit feratA 

Of much interest too are rings that commemorate cat as trophies in 
private life. No. 632 with its miniature of seven cherubs 1 heads speaks 
still of the Leaden hall Street fire in the City of London, by which seven 
small children lost their lives, and No. 918 recalls a boating accident on 
the lower Thames and the drowning of six persons. More 
terrible still was another river accident, by which a boat was 
wrecked at Rochester Bridge in 1816 (No. 999), and all on 
board, including ten children, were lost 

easily be understood that Memorial Rings cannot contend 
with wedding and engagement rings in variety of posy or motto; in 
early rings " Memento mori ” occurs again and again, and in later times 
"Not lost but gone before ” is most frequent; in this collection however 
some thirty varieties of motto have been noted; few will 
commend themselves to modern taste, although in conclusion 
we would like to dwell on the pathos of the “ Remember me ” 
of the Princess Amelia (No. 981), and call 
passing attention to the phoenix revelling in 
the flames of No. 506, with its scarcely appropriate 
motto : “ Be ye also ready."

HE WAS OF THE MIDDLE STATURE, OF 
A BENIGN & COMELY COUTENANCE 
EXPRESSIVE OF HIS MIND 
WHICH WAS ACTIVE, AMIABLE & GENEROUS. 

IN YOUTH HE WAS dispos’d TO SEEK for honour 
IN THE ONLY TRUE FIELD OF GLORY 

HIS country’s defence, 

BUT HIS DESIRES WERE LIMMIT’d 
BY PATERNAL TENDERNESS, 

HOWEVER IN THE YEAR 1745 HE ACCEPTED

UNPROVOK’D REBELLION, 

AND PROVE HIS DUTY TO HIS SOVEREIGN & COUNTRY

WHEN REBELLION WAS SUPPRESS’D HE RETIRED 
& MADE ALL AROUND HIM HAPPY IN THE CHARACTER

THROUGH ALL THE SUFFERINGS OF A LONG

Translated 18 January 1782. 


“Last night (Jan. 18), about half past eleven o’clock, a fire broke out at 

M r Woodmason’s, stationer, in Leadenhall Street, which entirely consumed the 
same, with the warehouse backwards, stock in trade, household furniture, &c. 

and greatly damaged two other houses; the fire began in the second story 

forwards; and burnt very rapidly until three o’clock this morning, owing to a 

scarcity of water. We are sorry to add, that the nursery maid and seven children, 
the eldest under nine years of age, are missing, and supposed to have perished in 
the flames.” (“The London Chronicle” Saturday , ig Ja?mary 1782 .) 

In the absence of her husband, who had gone with some friends to see the 
company in the ball-room at S l James’, M 1 * Woodmason, with her nursery-maid, 
paid her usual visit to all the children at half-past ten. Five slept in the nursery 
in the front of the house and two in the room above; all were asleep but the 
eldest, whom she kissed and spoke to. A little later, a maid, who had been 
ordered to put a rushlight in M rs Woodmason’s bedroom, immediately under the 
nursery, set fire to the bed hangings and shrieking as she ran down stairs, was 
joined by her mistress. They opened the street-door with difficulty but all 
attempts to reach the children were defeated by smoke and flame. M re Woodmason 
fainted away and was taken to a house near. (From a long account in “ The 
London Chronicle ” of 22 January 1782.) 

They were buried at S l Peter’s, Cornhill, London, 23 January 1782.

Phil p Yonge B p of Norwich ob: 23 April 1783 JEt: 72. 

April 23. “ Rt. Rev. Dr. Philip Yonge, lord bishop of Norwich, in his 73d year. 
His lordship received his education at Westminster school, and Trinity Coll. 
Cambridge, of which he was fellow. In 1741 Mr. Yonge was a candidate against 
Dr. Tunstall for the office of public orator of that university; which he lost after a 
smart struggle, but was afterwards chosen when Dr. Tunstall resigned on being made 
chaplain to Abp. Potter. He was, in 1752, promoted to the mastership of Jesus 
College by Bp. Gooch (at the I), of Newcastle's desire), and afterwards (being one of 
his late majesty’s chaplains) was successively prebendary of Westminster, canon 
residentiary of S l Paul's, bishop of Bristol 1758, and of Norwich 1761. All these 
preferments he owed to the late D. of Newcastle, whose duchess he conducted from 
Hanover to England, In the same year he married Miss Anne Bewicke, of Clapham, 
by whom he had no issue. By his lordship’s death the Church loses a truly learned 
and Christian bishop; society a most amiable and useful member; his family and 
friends a man endowed with every domestic virtue, for rendering him highly valuable 
and respected whilst living, and deservedly lamented in his death.” (Gent.’s Mag.,

my personal estate to be divided equally among my brother Henry Yonge, nephew 
Henry Yonge, nephew Philip, niece Frances Simpson, and my nephew William John 
Yonge of S* James' Place, Westminster, my executor, “whom I desire and command 
to burn all my sermons and other writings whatsoever.” ( 2nd Codicil): “ My dear

physician of considerable literary fame, as well as extensive and successful practice

fortune. Though he was bred to physick, being a spirited young man, lie obtained 
a commission in a new regiment, raised in 1742, and served in Flanders during 
that war. He was distinguished so particularly for his knowledge in engineering, 
acquired merely by his ingenuity, that his late Royal Highness the Duke of 
Cumberland placed him in the line of engineers. Being at the siege of Bergen-op- 
Zoom, he was frequently observed to walk on the ramparts with unconcern amidst 
the enemy’s shot, the more narrowly to observe the situation of French attacks. 
He was reduced to half-pay at the subsequent peace, and settled as a physician in 
Yorkshire, where he practised physick ever since, with much reputation for his 
success and humanity.” ( Gent Is Mag., Vol. LX I ., part /., page 388.)

Dear Brother.—In full Persuasion there is no solid Comfort on this Side of the 
Grave I am ever ready to resign my Breath into the Hands of Him that gave it, 
trusting that he “will be Merciful to me a Sinner.” I have made no Will knowing 
it to be unnecessary, but have written upon this Sheet some Particulars which 
I wish you to attend to when I die, having Confidence in you for fulfilling my 
desire with equal strictness as if it had the force of Law. When it shall please 
my Creator to call me hence it is my desire to be buried at the East End of 
Swasey Church in the Church Yard if I die in Cambridgeshire, if at or near 
the Hermitage in the North East Corner of S l John lee Church Yard; if 
elsewhere, where the Tree falls there let it lie. I next desire that you will burn 
all my Sermons. I desire also that you will present Rings to the Persons 
whose Names are mentioned in the second Page of this Sheet. I further desire 
that you will pay the Sums of Money mentioned in the third and fourth Pages, 
and God of his infinite Mercy grant you' and yours all the Comfort this World 
can afford and a joyfull Meeting hereafter with your affectionate Brother, 

George Hunter.
