Issue 30 – January 2025
£6.47 – £8.47 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageThere is a medley of articles in this month’s issue, ranging in time from the seventh to the eighteenth century. We start off by exploring the history of a place that has been hallowed by years of Christian history, prayer and devotion, Lastingham in Yorkshire. We look at the architectural and archaeological legacy that this long devotion has left behind. In the second article we head to England’s capital and to Westminster Abbey, the burial place of kings, where curiously the vast majority of sovereigns are buried in graves that unmarked by memorials and monuments – we look at the hidden subterranean vaults below Henry VII’s chapel that hold the remains of the Stuart and Hanoverian dynasties. Lastly, we share with you the eighteenth-century portrait genre of the ‘conversation piece’ looking in depth at some fine examples of this expressive form of painting unique to the Georgians.

Issue 21 – April 2024
£6.47 – £8.47 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageWe begin the magazine this month by looking at an aspect of the medieval ceremonial of English medieval Holy Week. Focusing on the ritual of the sepulchre and the vigil, we look at the material evidence for the sepulchre and whether the objects that are generally known as Easter Sepulchres are any such a thing at all. Then we head to south Lincolnshire where we introduce to a curious medieval bridge at Crowland, which has an interesting history and no practical purpose. Lastly, we look at the hagiography of St Guthlac, the founder of Crowland, an ascetic known as the English St Anthony, and who lived the final years of his life in a converted long barrow!

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

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.

Issue 8 – March 2023
£6.47 – £8.47 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageThis issue begins with an exploration of a bit of a mystery – a rare thing in England – the shrine of a medieval saint with the relics still within it, it is a mystery how it survived, but it is even more of a puzzle trying to work out who the saint within was. The second article is about an unusual office associated with the English coronation, that of the King’s Champion; we look at the role and how it originated, and again there is an air of mystery about how it came into being. Then we look at an aspect of medieval iconography in an article examining the eastern origin of two of the most popular images in late medieval Western art – the Mass of St Gregory and the Man of Sorrows. There’s little mystery here about how they came to be: they came into the Western artistic lexicon through tall stories told to pilgrims! Then lastly, a fourth article is about a church building in a remote part of the Black Mountains in Wales, a building full of medieval treasures. There are two mysteries here: the first is the identity and story of the early medieval saint that the church is dedicated to; the second is how on earth this building has retained some of the unique medieval fixtures and fittings within it. I hope you enjoy reading it.

Issue 7 – February 2023
£6.47 – £8.47 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageThe churches of Norfolk contain one of the most remarkable collections of late medieval art in Western Europe – they are a series of panel paintings incorporated into screen work, most notably rood, or as they are more appropriately called, chancel screens. Some of these paintings are of such fine quality that they are of international importance. If they were hung in an art gallery in a major city, they would be well known and acclaimed – but because they are to be found in isolated churches, they are not appreciated as much as they ought to be. In this issue of The Antiquary, we want to share examples of this great artistic legacy to give some sense of the significance, purpose, and motives behind their creation. In many cases, these works of art, like our medieval churches in England in general, are now fragile and perilous. Unless they become better known, we risk losing an artistic treasure and essential source material for our medieval ancestors’ religious and social life.
