Abstract
The military tomb in the north choir aisle of Lincoln Cathedral, usually attributed to Bartholomew Lord Burghersh (died 1355), is examined in detail and shown to be a composite monument. The chest and canopy belong to the original tomb, but the effigy and the two carved panels at the head and feet of the effigy have been transferred from other monuments. During conservation work material was discovered within the tomb which throws new light on its construction and previous repair. The tomb, with its companions, is compared to the tombs of two other members of the Burghersh family.
