    In February’s issue, apart from a very brief foray into medieval history, we are primarily sticking to subjects that are in the early modern period. We first take you on a visit to one of the most extraordinary churches in the country – we couldn’t agree more with Sir Nikolaus Pevsner in his ‘Buildings of England’ series, when he writes about St Mary’s Whitby in Yorkshire, that it is: ‘one of the churches one is fondest of in all of England’.  Then follows a brief biography of a man that it is impossible to be fond of, Matthew Hopkins, the so-called Witchfinder General, as we look at the role of this young man in the witch hysteria that gripped eastern England in the mid seventeenth century. Lastly, we examine the history of a building well known throughout the world, and that some people are immensely fond of (I think), Buckingham Palace – although in this article we look beyond the present structure, to the buildings that came before it, and how they shaped the location and form of the primary residence of the British monarchy.

    Issue 30 – January 2025

    There 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 25 – August 2024

    The articles in this issue derive from a recent trip to North Yorkshire to reacquaint myself with the great medieval abbeys of the county after twenty years.  It is difficult to choose what to write about, that can begin to do these incredible sites justice, but I have pulled out three unusual aspects of medieval monastic history to share.  Firstly, I introduce a rare collection of medieval ghost stories originating in the scriptorium of Byland Abbey, that first came to the attention of scholars through the research of M. R. James in the 1920s.  I then move on to look in some depth at the lives of the Carthusian monks of Mount Grace, using the evidence of the monk’s cell reconstructed in the 1980s following a thorough archaeological investigation.  Lastly, I consider the post-dissolution history of Rievaulx Abbey and the role of its tumbling ruins as inspiration for the picturesque and romantic movements of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
