sword stands In Churches.

Sword stands came into use in Lon
don churches when it became custom
airy to carry the city sword before the
lord mayor as he went to church in
state. During service the sword was
placed in the stand or case provided
for it, and in his own church the lord
mayor generally had the stand placed
conveniently near to or in his family
pew. This custom, which was quite
common before the end of the six

the reign of Elizabeth. The state Wis,
