Synopsis
Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick was the founding father of the systematic study of arms and armour. His last days were spent in Herefordshire, where his magnificent collection of arms, armour and antiquities could be visited in his mock Gothic castle called Goodrich Court, that he had built. The collection is now largely dispersed, with some of the choicest pieces at the Wallace Collection and British Museum. Meyrick's lavishly illustrated works on armour were an unparalleled source for later writers, and he published many historical articles.
