Issue 29 – December 2024
£6.47 – £8.47 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageIn the first article we focus on several Netherlandish panel paintings from the the fifteenth and sixteenth century depicting the Annunciation. In it we decode some of the hidden symbolism of the Incarnation within these paintings. Here in the UK, this winter is looking to be rather colder than those of recent years, but by no means as cold as those of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries – in the second article we explore the frost fairs and amusements that took place on the frozen Thames during this period. The last article has a more somber tone to it, as we explore the martyrdom of archbishop Thomas Becket on a chilly day in December 1170. We take a look at his cult and his lost shrine in Canterbury Cathedral. I do hope you enjoy this issue, and may I wish you and your family a very happy Christmas and a blessed New Year.

Issue 28 – November 2024
£6.47 – £8.47 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageThe near-total destruction of the medieval Palace of Westminster, the residence of English medieval kings, is without question one of England’s greatest cultural losses. In this issue of the Antiquary, we explore the history and layout of the palace and look at some of the great artistic treasures it once contained. We examine how what was once the primary residence of kings became the political and legal hub of the English nation. We then move on to look at the inadequacy of the palace as a seat of both Parliament and the law courts in the eighteenth century, the various proposals for its replacement and the piecemeal process of destruction that culminated in the inevitability of the great fire of 1834. Lastly, as it is November, the third article looks at the events of November 1605 and the Gunpowder Plot, and how the complex and chaotic geography of the medieval palace enabled this plot to very nearly succeed.

Issue 24 – July 2024
£6.47 – £8.47 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageWelcome to the July 2024 issue of The Antiquary. Some of you may have seen the recent video I released on YouTube about the lost palace of Whitehall, the principal royal palace in Tudor and Stuart London. In this issue, I begin by looking at three terracotta busts, portrait heads that were part of the royal collection at Whitehall and somehow managed to survive the fire that consumed the palace in 1698, to be rediscovered in a rag-and-bone shop in the 1760s. Then we look at another extraordinary lost structure, Old London Bridge, which has long since been knocked down; it didn’t fall down as the nursery rhyme suggests! As usual, there is always a thread connecting the various articles, and the thread between the first article and the second is Cardinal John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester; he commissioned the terracotta heads, and following his unjust execution at the hands of Henry VIII, his real head ended up on a spike on London Bridge. The third article looks at the survival rather than the loss of historic buildings, and we look at the twelfth-century houses in the city of Lincoln – again, there is a royal theme, for recent research suggests that one of these was an English royal palace.t I do hope you enjoy the issue, which marks the end of the second year of this publication, and I want to thank you for all of your support over that period of that time – there are lots more to come!
