Title: Monumental Incised Slabs in the County of Lincoln by F.A. Greenhill 
Summary: This book is a detailed county survey of medieval and post-medieval incised grave slabs in Lincolnshire; it forms part of Greenhill's lifelong study of engraved stone memorials in England and Europe. 
Main themes
Comprehensive catalogue of Lincolnshire slabs: The book records surviving monumental incised slabs found in churches and churchyards across Lincolnshire, describing their location, date, design, inscriptions, and artistic features. 
Development of funerary art: Greenhill traces how incised slabs evolved from simple cross-marked memorials into more elaborate monuments depicting clergy, knights, merchants, and civilians. 
Workshop traditions and craftsmanship: The study examines the regional stone-carving traditions and the relationship between incised slabs, monumental brasses, and other forms of medieval commemoration. 
Lincolnshire's importance: The county contains a significant concentration of surviving examples, making it an important area for understanding English medieval memorial practices. 
The book is still regarded as a standard reference for scholars of English funerary monuments and is frequently cited in later research on medieval grave markers, cross slabs, and monumental brasses.
