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: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: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:Professor Alison Shell (UCL): 'Getting it Wrong in the Counter-Reformation: Religious Orders in Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure’
DESCRIPTION:Institute of Historical Research Seminar \n\n\n\nThe tragicomedy Measure for Measure\, which dramatizes the consequences of a clampdown on social immorality in Vienna\, has long been recognised as indirectly commenting on the puritanism of Shakespeare’s era. \n\n\n\nThis paper argues that the play also speaks to Catholicism’s internal reforms\, especially through Shakespeare’s representation of friars and nuns; the Capuchin order\, founded in the early 16th century as a return to original Franciscan ideals of austerity\, is an important reference point. Where the play shows rigid moral and religious standards breaking under the pressure of real-life stress tests\, this has cross-confessional resonance. \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 22 June. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes. \n\n\n\nPlease note that the Reading Room at Lambeth Palace Library is closed all day 23 June.

SUMMARY:Church of England Record Society AGM
DESCRIPTION:Dr Laura Mair presents ‘I hope to make something of him’: Character\, care\, and control in London’s Ragged Schools (1850-1867). \n\n\n\nThe London Ragged School Union (LRSU)\, which claimed to have taught over 400\,000 children by 1884\, is a standard fixture of histories of education\, evangelicalism\, and philanthropy. Evangelical in character\, these schools sought to save the souls and bodies of the city’s most impoverished children through a gratuitous and humble education. In recent years the movement has been subject to extensive critique from historians who have interpreted the schools as a mechanism of social control\, indicative of the imposition of middle-class mores on the poor and working class. Such scholarship has relied heavily on material published by the LRSU\, whether promotional literature or annual reports\, giving little insight into the day-to-day interactions that took place in the classroom. This lecture will speak to this pronounced gap in understanding\, placing the words and experiences of both teacher and taught at the centre of the analysis through the meticulously maintained and cross-referenced journals of Martin Ware III\, a ragged school superintendent in St Pancras. Offering an unprecedented insight into his conversations\, frustrations\, and reflections over a seventeen-year period\, the journals complicate our understanding of the nature and impact of the ragged schools. The portrait of Ware that emerges is multifaceted; his dedication and self-sacrifice sit uncomfortably alongside his stark judgements of children and their parents. Of particular significance\, the detailed entries allow the children’s own words to direct and shape our interpretation of the movement for the first time. \n\n\n\nDr Laura Mair is Mary R. S. Creese Lecturer in Modern Scottish History at the University of Aberdeen. She has published broadly on the ragged schools\, with articles featured in Journal of Victorian Culture\, Family & Community History\, Studies in Church History\, and Scottish Church History. Mair recently worked with Dr Andrew Kloes to co-edit a collection in honour of Professor Stewart J. Brown\, titled Social Christianity in Scotland and Beyond\, 1800-2000. Published by Routledge in 2019\, Religion and Relationships in Ragged Schools\, was the first scholarly book to focus exclusively on the ragged schools. She is in the final stages of preparing a short monograph for Brill on the subject of sectarian rivalries in Scottish ragged schools. Her edited collection\, The Journals of Martin Ware III: A Ragged School Diary\, is currently in preparation for submission in 2028. \n\n\n\nPlease note the AGM will begin at 16:15 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 Wednesday 1 July. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes.
