Abstract (en)

Parker was a generous donor of silver to Corpus Christi, and is responsible for much of the fine Tudor plate for which the college is celebrated. Rediscovery of a group of indentures and associated drawings recording gifts of elaborately wrought table and chapel silver sheds new light not only on surviving plate, but also on lost pieces and on the ways in which a patron regarded his gifts and through them attempted to preserve his memory.
