    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 July 2023 issue of The Antiquary, and in this issue, we celebrate a full year of the magazine. I thank all of you subscribers and supporters who have made this possible. This issue is one of our periodic albums focusing on a particular theme in the History of Art. It looks closely at the portrayal of angels, with images from both an English and Welsh context, primarily from the Middle Ages. The essay running through the issue focuses on the textual sources for the iconography of angels, both the biblical and broader tradition of the Church, and the influence of Pseudo-Dionysius on the understanding of angelology. I do hope you enjoy this issue.

    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.

    Death in the Western world today is often sanitised and hidden from view. Medieval people had the same fears as we have about death but were perhaps more sanguine and more prepared to reflect on the brevity of life than we are now because death was less hidden. Mortality among the young was high; pestilence carried people off with great regularity – people often lived in close-knit communities and faced the reality of death daily. People usually died at home, and the sight of dead bodies tightly wrapped in figure-hugging shrouds, buried in shallow graves within the churchyard, or for the wealthier members of society below the floor of the parish church itself, was part of the typical medieval life experience. In this issue, we explore the subject of medieval death and the monuments that medieval people erected to their dead.

    Quite unintentionally, but with serendipity, the editor is rather glad that the articles offered this month have themed themselves – in essence, the first three articles are all about the way the genius of individuals can be realised through a sharing of ideas and how that can infect others with a creative spark. We begin by looking at Sir Thomas More and how his connection with the great thinkers of his age led to the publication of his magnum opus ‘Utopia’, a book that launched the artistic career of Henry VIII’s court painter Hans Holbein. Then in a profusely illustrated article, we look at one of the delicious works of the ecclesiastical designer Sir Ninian Comper and how his relationship with the Duke of Newcastle and their joint love of the Middle Ages resulted in the creation of a Gothic, devotional fantasy at Egmanton in Nottinghamshire which still delights us today.  Lastly, because the editor fancied being a little askew, the final article focuses on a man who couldn’t be more different to the gregarious More and Comper, a man who withdrew from the world: his name is John Bigg, a peculiar misanthrope – whose story is both odd and unresolved.
