SUMMARY:Dr Edward Roberts (University of Kent): Primacy: Archbishops and Authority from Late Roman Africa to Medieval England
DESCRIPTION:Why is the archbishop of Canterbury called the ‘primate of all England’? While the title comes from the position’s rank as the first (primas) bishop of the English church\, there is in fact a long and intriguing history behind the notion of the primate bishop. Dr Edward Roberts (University of Kent) traces the medieval origins of this concept\, from late Roman North Africa\, to the Frankish empire of Charlemagne and the Carolingian dynasty in the ninth century\, and finally to England in the time of the Norman Conquest\, when a dispute over the matter erupted between the archbishops of Canterbury and York. Primacy was a controversial idea\, and its history is bound up with some of the most notorious forgeries of the Middle Ages. This talk uncovers what it signified to be a primate and why the title repeatedly generated conflict in the medieval church. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Wednesday 8 April 2026. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes.

SUMMARY:David Scott: ‘Peterhouse Chapel and the Laudian Style\, 1628–40'
DESCRIPTION:Institute of Historical Research Seminar on the Religious History of Britain 1500-1800 \n\n\n\nPeterhouse chapel was conceived and built as a showcase for ‘Laudian’ piety. A style-icon for church ceremonialists during the 1630s\, it was\, by the same reckoning\, an abomination to the self-styled ‘godly’. Because the chapel was widely acknowledged as a centrepiece for the ‘new ceremonies’ of the Caroline period\, it offers a unique insight into what Peter Lake has labelled the ‘Laudian style’. \n\n\n\nIf Laudianism was in some sense a movement of avant-garde ceremonialists then the Peterhouse Laudians represented the avant-garde of the avant-garde\, and were still\, even in the late 1630s\, pushing into devotional\, and perhaps also ecclesiological\, territory in which Laud himself felt uncomfortable. Enough evidence concerning the chapel has survived to enable a detailed reconstruction and analysis of its interior and its devotional practices (music\, liturgy etc.) and of the ideas that informed them. \n\n\n\nThe aim of this exercise is to attempt answers to the kind of questions that are generally directed at Laudian written works. For example\, what sources and authorities informed the chapel’s layout and decorative features? Were the chapel’s designers striving merely to restate traditional ecclesiastical arrangements or to introduce a continental\, Baroque aesthetic? And to what extent did the Laudian version of the beauty of holiness overlap with and differ from the pre-existing urge towards beautifying churches – in other words\, was there a distinctive Laudian style in terms of church design? \n\n\n\nDavid Scott is editor of the House of Lords 1640-1660 section of the History of Parliament\, having served as a research fellow on the House of Commons 1640-1660 section until its conclusion in 2022. He has researched and written extensively on the political and religious history of early Stuart Britain. His books include a study of the British Civil Wars of the seventeenth century\, Politics and War in the Three Stuart Kingdoms\, 1637-49 (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2004)\, and a history of Britain in the early modern period (1485-1783)\, Leviathan: The Rise of Britain as a World Power (HarperCollins\, 2013) \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Monday 23 March. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes.

SUMMARY:Institute of Historical Research Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Professor Alan Ford (University of Nottingham):Making Ireland Protestant: the campaign to enforce religious uniformity in Ireland\, 1603-1633 \n\n\n\nModern Ireland had—indeed\, still has—a habit of testing the policies of English governments to destruction. This was particularly the case in matters of religion. In England\, anti-recusancy legislation\, though always delicately balanced between the sweeping rhetoric of its enactment and the messy compromises of its enforcement\, nevertheless had by the end of the sixteenth century reduced Catholicism to a small though influential minority. In Ireland\, however\, by 1600 the country was overwhelmingly Catholic\, and determined to remain so. \n\n\n\nThis posed a dilemma for English governors. Those in Dublin wanted to use the full power of the state—finally extended to the whole island after the victory over the native Irish in the Nine Years War—to impose conformity. Those in England\, worried at the danger of alienating the Catholic population and the threat of further rebellion\, repeatedly reined in the authorities in Dublin arguing\, whether by conviction or pragmatism\, that persuasion was better than coercion. This paper analyses the competing religious and political perspectives of this three-decade long attempt to turn Ireland Protestant\, and places it in the wider context of the reluctant\, Realpolitikacceptance of toleration by European states with divided religious loyalties. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Monday 1 December. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes.

SUMMARY:Church of England Record Society AGM and Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Philip Williamson presents ‘Royal prayers: Henry VIII to Charles III’. \n\n\n\nFor five centuries\, the Church of England has prayed for the sovereign and for members of the royal family. This lecture will consider the types\, purposes and alterations in these prayers for royalty\, in The Book of Common Prayer\, in prayers before sermons\, and in special prayers and special services. Prayers before sermons long remained important as assertions of the royal supremacy\, and the prayers for the royal family in the Book of Common Prayer in defining the royal succession. Both could act as tests of loyalty\, or be a focus for discontent with the monarch or church leaders. While special services and prayers reinforced the early modern sacralisation of the monarchy\, in modern times they have honoured the new value of the sovereign for the Church of England. \n\n\n\nProfessor Philip Williamson is Emeritus Professor of Modern British History at Durham University. He is the author of several books on modern British history\, and co-editor of National Prayers: Special Worship since the Reformation (4 volumes\, Church of England Record Society\, 2013-2025). \n\n\n\nPlease note the AGM will begin at 16:00 and the lecture will begin at 17:00. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Thursday 3 July. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes.

SUMMARY:Anthony Milton (Uni of Sheffield): “British” and “European” texts and the Church of England 1560-1660: rethinking sources and categories
DESCRIPTION:An Institute of Historical Research and Friends of Lambeth Palace Library seminar.  \n\n\n\nIt is no news that European divines sometimes had an important impact on English Protestantism. But in this paper I would like to rethink more broadly the status of the texts and individuals that we use to investigate the Church of England in this period. This will take the form not only of trying to problematize our readings of the categories of ‘English’ and ‘foreign’ authors (not least by stressing the number of English authors publishing abroad) but also of casting a fresh eye on European discussions of English religion in this period. \n\n\n\nNot only were European assumptions about the English church sometimes shaped by authors whom we might not suspect\, but non-English writers sometimes subjected English texts and ideas to much more systematic and searching analysis and criticism than English critics were able to muster. I therefore hope to give people who are interested in early modern English religion and who attend the seminar some new names and texts to think about and explore\, and perhaps some different priorities to ponder. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Monday 16 June. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes.

SUMMARY:Concertina-Fold Books across Time\, Space and Cultures Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Accordion\, screenfold\, chain—various terms have been applied to books folded in a zig-zag or ‘concertina’ pattern. Seen now as novelties\, concertina-fold books were once found worldwide. They were even the preferred or sole book format in some places\, before the imperial spread of the codex. This one-day symposium gathers international experts to talk about the historic uses of the concertina structure in a range of cultural contexts around the world. The discussion showcases some of the many\, outstanding examples of these books housed in local London and Oxford collections. \n\n\n\nThe morning session is an around-the-world tour with short talks on how the concertina-fold format was deployed in different places\, across time. The afternoon is devoted to more in-depth discussion of the choice and effects of the concertina format. Lunch will be provided for in-person participants. \n\n\n\nThe symposium is part of programming for the Unfolding Time exhibition\, on medieval ‘pocket’ calendars\, which looks at the way the concertina format was deployed in late medieval Europe\, with a focus on England. In-person attendees will have the opportunity to visit the exhibition and play with concertina facsimiles. The event is made possible through generous funding from the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures (CSMC)\, University of Hamburg; Royal Society of Edinburgh; and The National Lottery Heritage Fund. \n\n\n\nSCHEDULE \n\n\n\n9:30–10:00 Attendee arrival and check-in \n\n\n\n10:00 –Symposium Welcome\, Pip Willcox and Sarah Griffin \n\n\n\nSESSION 1: The Concertina-fold book around the world \n\n\n\n10:15 Introduction\, Megan McNamee \n\n\n\n10:30 Chinese\, Costantino Moretti \n\n\n\n10:40 Tibetan\, Benjamin Nourse \n\n\n\n10:50 Japanese\, Halle O’Neal \n\n\n\n11:00 Batak\, Roberta Zollo \n\n\n\n11:10 Thai\, Peera Panarut \n\n\n\n11:20 Ethiopic\, Ewa Balicka-Witakowska \n\n\n\n11:30 Mesoamerican\, Jamie Forde \n\n\n\n11:40 Q&A \n\n\n\n12:00–1:00 LUNCH (included in ticket) + tours of the Unfolding Time exhibition \n\n\n\nSESSION 2: Implications: The Choice and significance of folding \n\n\n\n1:00 Introduction\, Megan McNamee \n\n\n\n1:10 Choosing the concertina: Evidence from Dunhuang\, Costantino Moretti \n\n\n\n1:30 Tracing the disappearance of folds in Japanese Buddhist manuscript culture\, Halle O’Neal \n\n\n\n1:50 Straightening the Magic: The Concertina manuscripts produced by the Batak people of North Sumatra\, Roberta Zollo \n\n\n\n2:10 Q&A \n\n\n\n2:30–3:00 COFFEE + comfort break \n\n\n\nSESSION 3: Concertina communication \n\n\n\n3:00 Introduction\, Megan McNamee \n\n\n\n3:10 Ethiopic concertina-fold manuscripts\, Ewa Balicka-Witakowska \n\n\n\n3:30 Pictures and graphic elements in Thai concertina-fold books\, Peera Panarut \n\n\n\n3:50 Q&A \n\n\n\n4:00 Concluding remarks\, Marilena Maniaci \n\n\n\n4:20 Acknowledgements & Thanks\, Sarah Griffin \n\n\n\n4:30–5:30 RECEPTION + Unfolding Time exhibition open \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nEwa Balicka-Witakowska\, Uppsala University \n\n\n\nJamie Forde\, University of Edinburgh \n\n\n\nMegan McNamee\, University of Edinburgh \n\n\n\nCostantino Moretti\, École française d’Extrême-Orient (EFEO) \n\n\n\nBenjamin Nourse\, University of Denver \n\n\n\nHalle O’Neal\, University of Edinburgh \n\n\n\nPeera Panarut\, Museum für Asiatische Kunst\, Staatlichen Museen\, Berlin \n\n\n\nRoberta Zollo\, Museumverband Niedersachsen und Bremen e.V.

SUMMARY:Seb Falk: Moons\, miracles\, and magic: what’s in a medieval calendar?
DESCRIPTION:Seb Falk will unpick the curious history of medieval calendars. From the mind-bending maths required to establish the precise length of the year and calculate the date of Easter\, to their accumulation of a wealth of astronomical\, astrological and devotional data\, to their use as frames for stunning seasonal art\, calendars are endlessly fascinating. This richly illustrated talk will delve deep into some examples from Lambeth and beyond. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Monday 21 April. \n\n\n\nThis event is also available to watch online.

SUMMARY:Megan McNamee: Light and Labour in Late Medieval Concertina-Fold Almanacs
DESCRIPTION:Online Event only \n\n\n\nLight and labour were linked by custom and law in the Middle Ages\, when\, for example\, statutes dictated that agricultural workers were to leave their tasks while there was sufficient light to make their way home. We see the connection in medieval calendars. The average hours of daylight and darkness for each month were often recorded on pages along with lively images of seasonal activities\, known as the Labours of the Months. Both elements take pride of place in late medieval concertina-fold almanacs—tiny\, mass-produced books\, made to be worn on the body. \n\n\n\nWithin their folds\, one encounters brightly painted pictures of people busily turning earth\, trimming vines\, sowing\, slaughtering\, baking and so on. Beside them are circular diagrams depicting the hours of daylight and darkness. Whereas the Labours were a standard feature of calendars\, the diagrams are uncommon; and the tight juxtaposition of the two\, near unique. This paper considers what this unusual pairing tells us about the experience of time and work—manual and devotional—in late medieval Europe. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Microsoft Teams or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Tuesday 8 April. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes.

SUMMARY:Arnold Hunt (University of Durham): The Forgotten Laudian? Richard Steward and the origins of Anglican high churchmanship
DESCRIPTION:Richard Steward (1595-1651) played a key role in the promotion of Laudianism in the 1630s and the formation of Anglican royalism in the 1640s. During the Uxbridge negotiations in 1645\, he exerted a decisive influence in persuading the king not to compromise on episcopacy\, and after Charles’s execution in 1649 he continued to play an influential role in holding together the exiled royalist community and arguing against any accommodation with the Commonwealth regime. Yet his significance as a Laudian ideologue and preacher remains obscure\, largely because his sermons never appeared in print during his lifetime. \n\n\n\nThis paper will reconstruct Steward’s career and situate his sermons in their original context in the 1620s in order to highlight his importance as a central figure in the development of Laudianism. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Monday 24 March. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes.

SUMMARY:Anne Lawrence - Mathers: Prediction\, Prognostication – or Divination? The Medieval Calendar as a guide to the Future.
DESCRIPTION:Anyone who listens to news broadcasts will be familiar with modern forms of forecasting and predicting. These range from the scientific\, like weather forecasts\, to the more contentious\, like predictions concerning the future state of the economy. Medieval people also had ways of making ‘scientific’ predictions\, many of which were rooted in beliefs about time\, and its intricate relationships to the planets and the stars. \n\n\n\nThis lecture will begin with the striking amount of astronomical and astrological information incorporated into medieval calendars\, and then demonstrate how this was used in association with texts known as ‘prognostics’ in order to make various sorts of predictions. It will begin with weather forecasts\, then as now recognised as important and valuable. From there we shall move on to instructions for timing medical treatments and evaluating a patient’s chances of recovery from illness. The lecture will end with more debatable\, but still time-related methods of gaining insight into the future\, from judicial astrology to geomancy. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Tuesday 18 March. \n\n\n\nThis event is also available to watch online.

SUMMARY:The Restoration and Revival of Chichester Cathedral Library\, 1670–1735
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this guest lecture by Andrew Foster held in partnership with the the Institute of Historical Research\, given at Lambeth and open to all. \n\n\n\nFor the redoubtable Dr Mary Hobbs (1923–1998)\, the return of Bishop Henry King’s Library marked the rebirth of Chichester Cathedral Library post 1671; yet close analysis of The Old Catalogue before 1735 reveals other stories of benefactors and books in what was quite a renaissance for cathedral\, city\, and the surrounding region at the end of the seventeenth century. \n\n\n\nThis is an opportunity to hear a paper delivered earlier in the year for the History of Libraries seminar when attendance was badly affected by train strikes. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome but those wishing to attend should book a ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than 6 December.

SUMMARY:Julia King: Remember the Scrybeler: Syon Abbey’s Books at Lambeth Palace Library
DESCRIPTION:Syon Abbey was England’s first and only Birgittine abbey\, founded by Henry V in 1415. By the time of the Dissolution\, it had become one of the richest monastic houses in England. The Abbey was a double house of men and women\, but the women’s community was far larger and\, during its existence\, the Abbey was headed exclusively by Abbesses. \n\n\n\nThe Birgittine order followed by the inhabitants of Syon Abbey forbade any material possessions other than books. Under the guidance of its several abbesses\, this exception led to the development of one of the largest libraries in England\, and a community where reading and piety were intertwined throughout daily life. In her lecture\, Julia King will comment on the cultures of women’s reading and writing that flourished at the Abbey\, using evidence from books in Lambeth Palace Library’s collections. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Tuesday 22 October. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes.

SUMMARY:Dr Kathleen Kennedy: Archbishops and the Wycliffite Bible
DESCRIPTION:The Wycliffite Bible is famous (or infamous) for being illegal\, and leading to the martyrdoms of Lollards for over a hundred years. Why\, then\, do so many copies exist today? Why are so many of them beautifully illuminated? In this talk\, we will discover the answers to these questions. We will even explore how some Wycliffite Bibles were made by the same artisans that the archbishops themselves commissioned. Join us as we bust some myths\, and learn more about the Wycliffite Bibles preserved in Lambeth Palace Library. \n\n\n\nKathleen E. Kennedy is a British Academy Global Professor at the University of Bristol. An expert in late medieval English manuscripts and early printed books\, Kennedy considers these artifacts not only as texts\, but also as vital clues to the material culture of their era. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend must book a ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Tuesday 15 October. Please note that we are operating a waiting list.
