8 FUNDED RESEARCH PROJECTS IN MEDIEVAL STUDIES

The Anglo-Saxon and Viking Site at Torksey The aim of the project is to understand the role and significance of Torksey by plotting the chronological and spatial development of the various centres of activity, which have been tentatively identified through metal detecting. These include a putative Anglo-Saxon riverine ‘beach market’, the Viking winter encampment and wider trading site, the Anglo-Scandinavian burh and the Torksey ware kilns. The project has major implications for wider understanding of the Viking Great Army and its interaction with local populations, the development of Anglo-Saxon burhs, and the evolving nature of trade and industry in the early medieval period, and its connections with power and ideology. 5/4/11 – 31/12/16, funded by the British Academy, the Society of Antiquaries of London, and the Robert Kiln Trust. £22,310.

Archaeologies of the Norman Conquest Archaeologies of the Norman Conquest is an AHRC-funded network project organized by the University of York (lead organization), the University of Nottingham, and Norwich Castle Museum. The project will make a defined and measurable contribution to British heritage and culture by illuminating the material dimensions of the Norman Conquest and its aftermath -- one of the most significant eras in the nation's cultural and political development, and the most iconic event of medieval British history. The project launched last June and runs until 31/10/2018 with total funding of £23,401. Lead academic: Dr Aleks McClain.

The Archaeology of Regime Change: Sicily in Transition This project is funded by an EU grant worth £1,359,898 and runs from August 2016 to July 2021. It is led by Prof. Martin Carver (Archaeology) and Dr. Michelle Alexander (Archaeology) is a CI.

ArchAIDE – Archaeoogical Automatic Interpretation and Classification of cEramics The goals of this international collaborative H2020 project "ArchAIDE: are to support the classification and interpretation work of archaeologists with innovative computer-based tools, able to provide the user with features for the semi-automatic description and matching of potsherds over the huge existing ceramic catalogues. Pottery classification is of fundamental importance for the comprehension and dating of the archaeological contexts, and for understanding production, trade flows and social interactions, but it requires complex skills and it is a very time consuming activity, both for researchers and professionals. The aim of ArchAIDE is to support the work of archaeologists, in order to meet real user needs and generate economic benefits, reducing time and costs. This would create societal benefits from cultural heritage, improving access, re-use and exploitation of the digital cultural heritage in a sustainable way. Funded by the European Commission, £249,098 Co-Principal Investigator: Julian Richards. 1/6/16-31/5/19

Centre for Medieval Literature The Centre for Medieval Literature (CML) was established in 2012, funded by a grant of DKK 36 million (approx. £4.1 million) from the Danish National Research Foundation for 6 years in the first instance. In 2016, was funded for 4 more years, with a further DKK 24 million (approx. £2.9 million). The CML seeks to establish a cross-disciplinary theoretical framework for the study of medieval literature on a European scale. It is located at The University of Southern Denmark (Odense) and at The University of York and is led by Prof. Lars Boje Mortensen (Centre leader, SDU), Prof. Elizabeth Tyler (York), and Prof. MSO Christian Høgel (SDU), along with Dr George Younge (York) and Dr Réka Forrai (SDU). We founded and publish: Interfaces: A Journal of Medieval European Literatures. There are additional participants from York and Odense and a wide network of European and North American scholars.

Cultures and Communication in the Long Viking Age Awarded £18,448 by the University of York to prepare the ground for a large grant application entitled Framing the Viking Age. Dr. Steve Ashby (Archaeology) is Principal Investigator for this project with Professor Dries Tys (Co-PI, Vrije University Brussels). The project piloted a method for studying metal-detected data on an international scale. The chronological focus was the pre-Viking and Viking period (c. AD 700-1100), which explored culture-contact and communication around the North Sea area. Its spine will be the analysis of newly available metal-detected data from northern Europe (England, Belgium, Denmark, and the Netherlands): the first international use of this dataset, offering the opportunity to consider long-distance movement at a formative moment in European history. The project will result in a publication and large grant proposal (in preparation). https://thelongvikingage.wordpress.com/

Descriptive Catalogue of the Manuscripts of John Gower’s Confessio Amantis British Academy Neil Ker Fund grant of £1,561 awarded to Prof. Linne Mooney to produce a catalogue of the manuscripts of Gower’s Confessio Amantis. Project runs from 1/4/17 to 31/3/18.

DiNAR Project: Digital Narratives for Archaeology Research The DiNAR Project is a joint research project led by the Centre for Digital Heritage (CDH), Digital Creativity Labs (DCL) and York Museums Trust.

11 The Inquisition Records of Languedoc 1235-1244 This project is funded by a grant of £802,825 from the AHRC, and runs from May 2014 to April 2019. The research team consists of Prof. Peter Biller, Dr Lucy Sackville, and Dr Shelagh Sneddon. The project focuses on four mainly unedited inquisition registers that were produced during the earliest years of inquisition in Languedoc, 1235-44, producing an edition and English translation of these, together with technical apparatus. The two essential aims of the project are to elucidate the development of inquisition procedures in its earliest decade, and to ask questions about how those procedures shaped the information collected.

‘Let There Be Light’, Pickering Parish Church HLF project Dr Kate Giles (Archaeology) is Principal Investigator on this Heritage Lottery Fund project with Pickering Parish church. The project seeks to better understand, conserve and interpret a scheme of medieval and Victorian wall paintings to the public.

The project is coming to the end of a very exciting final year which has generated very significant research findings and impact outcomes which are radically changing cathedral understanding of key issues and management strategies.

The Register of Walter de Gray, Archbishop of York (1215–55) This project examines one of England’s greatest administrators and is producing a full critical edition of his register. Walter de Gray, Archbishop of York, was at the forefront of two pivotal movements of his era: the birth of institutional record-keeping and the European-wide mission to transform pastoral care. The P.I., Dr Sethina Watson (History) has been working with Dr Jurkowski, who has been transcribing the register and identifying de Gray’s other written act. The introduction and follow-on article will explore de Gray’s government across the North, his wider record-making and reforms, as well as his role in the development of a new form of record (the bishop’s register). The project is funded by a grant of £152,339 from the Leverhulme Trust and runs from 2016 to 2018.

Restoring Bishops to the History of the Medieval Inquisition PI: Dr Lucy Sackville, British Academy Grant, 15/02/16-14/02/18, £3,576

St Stephen's Chapel, Palace of Westminster As the king's chapel in the Palace of Westminster, St Stephen's was rebuilt and furnished over seventy years by Edward I, Edward II and Edward III, to create a lavish setting for royal worship, rivalling any in Europe. Under Edward VI, the upper chapel was converted into the first permanent meeting place of the House of Commons. It survived until 1834, when it was destroyed by fire. In the nineteenth-century rebuilding of the palace, the surviving crypt of the chapel was sumptuously restored as a place of worship for both Houses of Parliament. On the footprint of the upper chapel, St Stephen’s Hall became the ceremonial entry-way to the neo-Gothic Palace of Westminster. As a monument to medieval kingship and a setting for parliamentary government, St Stephen’s has helped to shape the political culture of the nation.

The project St Stephen’s Chapel, Westminster: Visual and Political Culture, 1295-1941 aims to tell the full story of the Chapel, funded by an AHRC Major Research Award of £726,137. The project is led by Dr. John Cooper, Prof. Tim Ayers and Prof. Miles Taylor, and ran from 2013 to June 2017.

Virtual visualizations of the medieval chapel and the early modern House of Commons were launched in summer 2017: www.virtualststephens.org.uk. A follow-on project ‘Listening to the Commons: The Sound of Debate and the Experience of Women in Parliament, c. 1800’ in underway (AHRC, to 2020).

Worked in Stone: Completing the Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture Professor Jane Hawkes (History of Art) and Professor Julian Richards (Archaeology) (AHRC Research Grant led by University of Durham) This award, submitted by Durham University, will fund a new and final ambitious phase of work within the existing 40-year project led by Prof. Dame Rosemary Cramp at Durham. The project brings together an outstanding interdisciplinary team from five UK universities, including York. The research and publication of sculptures from five remaining counties will be completed and so provide full national coverage. The team will use the entire Corpus to pose and answer new questions on patronage and production, aesthetics and meaning, and display and identity, offering unrivalled insights into the religious and political scene of mid-late Anglo-Saxon England.

A major conference, three new British Academy Corpus volumes, a new volume providing an overview and synthesis of the complete data set and a conference proceedings are just some of the promised academic outputs. Data will be released to the public and outreach projects through the project website: http://www.ascorpus.ac.uk, with workshops facilitating impact with existing and new stakeholders, one to be held in York in 2019.

York City Environment Observatory (YCEO) Co-PI Professor Sarah Rees Jones. The aim of this cross faculty project led by Alastair Boxall (Environmental Studies) is to establish York as an exemplar city for better understanding the links between the quality of the natural, cultural, social and built environments (the ‘total environment’) and the health and wellbeing of citizens and the economy of the city. Rees Jones in particular worked with York Minster in workshops on cultural heritage and wellbeing. Funded by EPSRC: £178,062.00 for 18 months 2016-18.

26 PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND IMPACT ACTIVITIES

PhD Medievalists, Kate Rich, Harriet Evans, Nik Gunn and Tim Rowbotham – see ‘Rediscover the Legend’ project below.

Many of the funded research projects listed earlier in this publication include important public engagement strands. The research projects of the ‘Centre for Christianity and Culture’, ‘England’s Immigrants’, ‘Virtual St Stephen’s’ and ‘Worked in Stone’ all have important externally-funded public engagement strands leading to significant influences upon public understanding of the middle ages and contemporary heritage practice. Medievalists have taken the lead in developing research with impact in the Humanities in all four parent departments.

Impact Activities

33rd Jorvik Viking Festival 2017 Dr Steve Ashby led a hands-on outreach session at this year’s 33rd Jorvik Viking Festival, talking about the ways in which objects can tell us about everyday life in the Viking Age. This took place at Barley Hall (February 13, 2017). http://barleyhall.co.uk/event/meet-the-experts-everyday-objects-in- viking-britain/

York Festival of Ideas: Beer and Beowulf Led by Dr Matthew Townend (English and Related Literature), accompanied by some of his PhD students, an evening of Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse poetry was performed in the Duke of York pub, with refreshments available in the form of Eoforwic Ale – a beer brewed specially for the Festival by Leeds Brewery. Wednesday 14 June. http://yorkfestivalofideas.com/2017/performances/beer-and- beowulf/

28 Viking: Rediscover the Legend exhibition The first major output of the DiNAR project (see page 9) was an AHRC and EPSRC funded virtual reality component for the 2017 at the Yorkshire Museum. Through cinematic VR, museum visitors are able to experience immersive vignettes of life in the camp of the Viking Great Army at Torksey in Lincolnshire. Students and staff from the Centre for Medieval Studies and the Department of English and Related Literature worked with Damian Murphy, Lewis Thresh and Kenneth Brown (Department of Electronics) to record a Norse-speaking script, produced by Prof. Julian Richards (Archaeology) for each of the four scenes. The project was based on research conducted by Prof. Julian Richards (Archaeology) and Prof. Dawn Hadley (Sheffield) on the Viking Winter Camp at Torksey (see page 7). https://www.york.ac.uk/digital-heritage/research/portfolio/dinar/.

VR Still from the Yorkshire Museum exhibition ‘Rediscover the Viking Legend’, May-Nov 2017

Fragments of the Medieval World Samuel Storey Family Exhibition Gallery at the Borthwick Institute for Archives, University of York April-July 2017 Spanning nearly 1000 years, a new exhibition of manuscript fragments, many selected from the Takamiya Collection dedicated to the Centre for Medieval Studies, was installed by Prof. Linne Mooney (English and Related Literature), Gary Brannan (The Borthwick Institute) and archivists from the Borthwick. https://www.york.ac.uk/borthwick/exhibitions/medieval-fragments/

Jorvik Viking Centre Old Norse has been brought back to life by researchers at the University of York through the voices of new animatronic Viking characters at the world-famous JORVIK Viking Centre. The characters, which are voiced by Masters and PhD students from the Centre for Medieval Studies and the Department of English and Related Literature, form part of the revamped Jorvik Viking Centre, which opened its doors for the first time in 16 months following substantial damage to the attraction as a result of the 2015 floods. Research was led by Dr Matthew Townend (audio content), Dr Steve Ashby and Prof. Julian Richards (consultancy team). https://www.york.ac.uk/news-and-events/news/2017/research/researchers-bring-old-norse-language-back-to-life/ https://www.york.ac.uk/news-and-events/features/2017/spotlight-old-norse-viking-roots/

Stratford-Upon-Avon Kate Giles' research in Stratford upon Avon has led to collaboration with three heritage organisations. Her research on the Guildhall of the Holy Cross led to a successful £1.4 million HLF funded project, which opened in 2016 as 'Shakespeare's School and Guildhall': http://www.shakespearesschoolroom.org, winner of the 2017 Coventry and Warwickshire Tourism Awards. Next door, another £100,000 HLF funded project working with the Stratford Town Trust and Friends of the Guild Chapel has overseen the conservation of the Doom painting by conservators Mark Perry and Richard Lithgow: http://www.guildchapel.org.uk.

Kate's research has led to invitations to present at the Folger Shakespeare Library's 'Periodisation symposium' from which an article in a major new volume on Periodisation is forthcoming, and a reflection on digital creativity and working with heritage and conservation professionals in a special edition of Internet Archaeology. A more popular article by Kate explaining the significance of the paintings and their Shakespeare connection was also published in The Conversation https://theconversation.com/why-did-shakespeares-father-paint-over-iconic-medieval-murals-69537.

Kate is continuing to work with the Guild Chapel and Schoolroom in training volunteers, and creating new exhibition content, including an online exhibition on the Guild Chapel, funded by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, and a virtual reality application for the Guild Chapel, supported by the Department of Archaeology as one of its potential impact case studies. She is also working with the Guild Chapel to bring to light and restore an internationally significant depiction of the Dance of Death, currently obscured by panelling.
