£6.47 – £8.47 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageKing George IV was one of the most colourful of British sovereigns, and in the first article of this month’s Antiquary, we look at the little-known history of his official residence – Carlton House. This constantly evolving and very ostentatious building was in many respects an expression of George’s personality, and very oddly, towards the end of his life, he had it demolished! The next article focuses on a location in London that was less than two miles away from Carlton House – Tyburn gallows. For many centuries it was the city’s primary place for public executions, and we trace the chilling history of the place, the methods used and the stories of some of those executed there, many of whom were martyrs for religious conscience.Then, in the final article, something a little more sublime – we discuss the fascinating evolution of the hagiography, the holy story of St Edmund, king and martyr, who was once the patron saint of England. However, the article once again ends in destruction I’m afraid – the breaking up of the medieval shrine of St Edmund by Henry VIII’s commissioners in 1538.

Issue 9 – April 2023
£6.47 – £8.47 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageWelcome to the April 2023 issue of The Antiquary. This month, we give you a mix of articles and features on both saints and sinners. We introduce you to a delightful church in the countryside near Berkshire in southeast England, with glorious medieval wall paintings and the tomb of a man and his wife, who may have had blue blood. Then an article on a fascinating cave complex in the wilds of Derbyshire that also has strong royal connections and may have been the hermitage of a deposed Anglo-Saxon king over a thousand years ago. Dick Turpin, the highwayman, was no king but a scoundrel, and in the following article, we look at his life and wicked exploits. We explore how his reputation was altered and somewhat improved by the novelist’s pen. Lastly, an article about Christian iconography looks at the mysterious legend of the girdle of the Blessed Virgin Mary, how it originated and the surviving relics of Mary’s belt. We do hope you enjoy the issue.
