About Brass Rubbing Centre

The Brass Rubbing Centre, just off the High Street opposite The Museum of Childhood, includes a large number of replica monumental brasses.
They range from medieval knights and their ladies through Scottish Pictish symbols to Celtic designs copied from illuminated manuscripts including the Book of Kells.
The Brass Rubbing Centre occupies Trinity Apse, the sole surviving fragment of the 15th century Trinity College Church and Hospital founded by Mary of Gueldres following the death of her husband King James II at the siege of Roxburgh in 1460.
The original Trinity Church was demolished in the 1840s to make way for Waverley Railway Station but in the 1870s the Apse was rebuilt on its current site from original stones.
Experience is not required to make a rubbing and staff are on hand to assist.
