Join me as I explore brass rubbing at St. Martin in-the-Fields, London. This video looks at the history, how to get there, getting set up, and the history behind the artwork. For my brass rubbing, I chose the brass plate for Sir Thomas and Lady Margaret de Beauchamp, the Earl and Countess of Warwick, 1406. Check out the history of the famous power-couple in the video.
