Rethinking Ripon: Cuthbert’s Tonsure and Northumbrian Ecclesiastical Geography Northern History (IF 0.115) Pub Date : 2023-08-30 A. Joseph McMullen
This article reconsiders the motivation of the author of the anonymous Life of Cuthbert to insist that the saint received the Petrine tonsure at Ripon instead of (the more likely Irish tonsure) at Melrose, as Bede recounts. While scholars widely agree that this detail was meant to provide Cuthbert with a Roman background less contentious than his actual Irish-influenced upbringing, I will propose a

Studies of the coroner in nineteenth century England suggest that inquests became increasingly medicalised. Much of this research was conducted in London. My research reveals that in Newcastle upon Tyne medicine did not dominate: the solicitor coroner used his skills and knowledge to maintain the legal focus of the inquest. This study reveals a fascinating dynamic between the legally qualified coroner

The nineteenth century saw an influx of men of trade into English antiquarian circles, a development that caused significant consternation among those who were accustomed to gathering in more rarefied spaces. However, devoting one’s life to scholarship was not inexpensive, and these self-made scholars were often left scrambling to find reliable sources of income on which to live. This essay reconsiders

The experiences of Wortley Forge reflect the British iron trade’s transformation during the eighteenth century, and iron’s pivotal role in industrialization. Its management – first under regional syndicates, afterwards, from 1739, by the Cockshutt family – shows the advantages and pitfalls of family businesses.

On 19 October 1922, David Lloyd George’s Coalition government fell from office, bringing to an end four years of post-war co-operation between the Conservative Party and his Coalition Liberals. It was a remarkable turnaround in fortunes, as the post-war Coalition had won the 1918 General Election with a notional majority of 333.
