coinage

The Apostle St Paul wrote to his companion Timothy: “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” In this issue of The Antiquary are two articles that relate to money – its power to corrupt and its power to reform – both are stories full of piercing sorrows. Firstly, we have the initial instalment of a biographical account of a Georgian clergyman called Dr William Dodd, who was known in his lifetime as the ‘Macaroni Parson.’ The article traces Dodd’s journey from the son of a modest Lincolnshire vicar to a celebrated London preacher, whose brilliance, vanity and pecuniary extravagance led to scandal and ruin. The second article surveys the origin and evolution of English money, from Anglo-Saxon pennies to the splendid gold and silver coinage of the late Middle Ages, revealing how currency was used to express royal authority, and how English medieval kings controlled the production of coin, and through it, safeguarded the prosperity and stability of their kingdom.
