Issue 23 – June 2024
£6.47 – £8.47 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageWelcome to the June 2024 issue of The Antiquary. I often find when we start to write the magazine each month, that the articles begin to take shape and then common links and themes emerge between them – and this issue is no exception. The first article looks at the genre of Vanitas painting in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century, a genre in which the artists through complex allegory reflect on the vanity of humanity’s accomplishments in the face of death. One of the paintings I focus on is an allegory of the life of King Charles I and Queen Henrietta Maria. Then we go on to look at the life of Jefferey (sic) Hudson, the court dwarf to Henrietta Maria – a man who found himself in many scrapes and lived a remarkable ans surprising life. Despite rising high (in court if not in stature!), he has no monument, and lies in a pauper’s grave and is largely forgotten. Lastly, is an article in which I lament the loss of a beautiful and beloved building, Goltho church in Lincolnshire, which was recently ravaged by fire. The running theme: that life, creation and people’s accomplishments are fragile indeed.

Issue 10 – May 2023
£6.47 – £8.47 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageWelcome 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.

Issue 2 – September 2022
£6.47 – £8.47 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageThis month’s issue is a miscellany of articles relating to remarkable art and architectural survivals. We have the story of a man of great ambition who was so desirous to be remembered forever that he laid down four monuments to himself, only one of which remains and is among the most extraordinary in England. Then the legend of a youth who inherited a kingdom and gave it all up for a life of prayer and the remarkable architectural legacy he left behind. Lastly, two articles on objects and furnishings that really should have been destroyed in the English Reformation – a set of medieval vestments found in a remote part of Lincolnshire and used by a recusant family that tells the story of their enduring Catholicism; and lastly, a church in an equally isolated spot in Wales, where despite the odds, it retains the rustic remains of its medieval rood screen, within a building of great charm and beauty.
