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.
