    Issue 28 – November 2024

    The 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.

    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.
