This month I have decided to depart from my usual pattern, and bring to you two articles, rather than my usual three. I found as I was writing the first article, that the character I was writing about was so compelling, and the intrigue he was embroiled in so complex, that he deserved more extensive attention than I would usually give. Titus Oates, was a compulsive liar, who in the pursuit of personal renown was responsible for the deaths of numerous men. His pathology is intriguing and difficult to understand, but he tapped into the anti-Catholic hysteria of his time. I felt that the ugliness of the character and story of Titus Oates, required an article that examined, in some depth, a work of great beauty – and so in my second article this month I focus on the ‘Golden Chapel’ at Tong in Shropshire. It is an incredible piece of highly decorated late medieval architecture. As well as looking at the works of art and memorials within it, I look too at the motivation, piety and devotion behind the creation of this extraordinary space.

Welcome to the October 2023 issue of The Antiquary. In this month’s issue we first take you on a journey to a remote and hidden chapel to see some stained glass commissioned by a member of Henry VIII’s household from the royal glazier no less – it is a fine and rare work of art. Then we explore with you one of the great lost structures of Tudor England, the great Palace of Whitehall, its history and its layout. Lastly, in a continuation of last month’s article on funeral hatchments, we turn to the matter of funeral achievements and the practice of ‘heraldic’ funerals in medieval and early modern England.

Welcome to the September 2023 issue of The Antiquary. This month, there are two related articles on the British coronation regalia; the first tells the fascinating story of Colonel Blood, who audaciously tried to steal the regalia from the Tower of London in 1671. The second article on the theme focuses on the crown that Blood stole, the now-lost state crown of Charles II made in 1661 and broken up in 1714. Then, on a completely unrelated note, we look at the tradition of heraldic funeral hatchments, the first of a two-part series on heraldic funerals and funeral achievements.

Welcome to the June 2023 issue of The Antiquary. Summer is with us, and I am currently out and about doing what I enjoy the most, visiting sites across Britain with my camera – finding beautiful places and objects to share with all of you later in the year – I hope you have an equally enjoyable, restful and peaceful summer. In this summer issue, I bring you three articles. Firstly, I explore the extraordinary story of the development of the saintly cult of King Henry VI, whose graves, first at Chertsey and then at Windsor, became the focus of popular devotion. Then I explore a peculiar character that was common in late medieval European art and folklore, the Wodewose (pronounced ‘wood-wus’) – the wild man, and why such a figure was so popular. Lastly, I take you on a photographic tour of one of England’s most enchanting churches, Inglesham in Wiltshire, and explore why this beautiful building is so significant. I hope you enjoy the issue.

Issue 10 – May 2023

Welcome to the May 2023 issue of The Antiquary. With the coronation of King Charles III now fast approaching, it may well be all over by the time you get your copy of the magazine. We have decided to give you an issue with a royal flavour. There are two articles on the history of the coronation itself – the first looks at the extraordinary elements of Catholic ceremonial and regalia within the ceremony, which survive the English Reformation. The second looks at the most extravagant and absurd coronation – that of George IV (shown above receiving his regalia) in 1821. Sticking with the royal theme, the first article in the issue looks at the history of the display of royal arms in English churches, why they were displayed, and what the heraldry signifies. Lastly, for a bit of variety, on a recent visit to Norfolk, we came across the story of the bizarre burial of a Norfolk gentleman – we thought we would share that with you. As well as that article, the article on the royal arms has a Norfolk bias, illustrated solely with examples from the county – but that indicates what a rich source of treasures Norfolk is; we never tire of exploring its history and churches. We do hope you enjoy the issue.

The churches of Norfolk contain one of the most remarkable collections of late medieval art in Western Europe – they are a series of panel paintings incorporated into screen work, most notably rood, or as they are more appropriately called, chancel screens. Some of these paintings are of such fine quality that they are of international importance. If they were hung in an art gallery in a major city, they would be well known and acclaimed – but because they are to be found in isolated churches, they are not appreciated as much as they ought to be. In this issue of The Antiquary, we want to share examples of this great artistic legacy to give some sense of the significance, purpose, and motives behind their creation. In many cases, these works of art, like our medieval churches in England in general, are now fragile and perilous. Unless they become better known, we risk losing an artistic treasure and essential source material for our medieval ancestors’ religious and social life.
