    RE-EVALUATING MAPS OF DOMESDAY POPULATION DENSITIES: A case study from the Cambridgeshire fenland By SUSAN OOSTHUIZEN Abstract Professor Sir Clifford Darby’s county, regional and national maps of a range of data drawn from the Domesday Book revolutionized scholarship on the social and economic history of late Anglo-Saxon England (e.g. 1935, 1936a, 1936b, 1971, 1977). While this paper does not seek to challenge Darby’s general conclusions, a case study re-examination of the inter-relationship between population density and physical geography in the Cambridgeshire fenland in 1086 suggests the regional usefulness of methodological adjustments to his mapping. It indicates that the population density of the peat and silt fens in the late eleventh century may have been significantly higher than that shown in Darby’s original maps, with implications for the contemporary social and economic history of eastern England. Introduction The magnificence of many fenland churches allows even a complete stranger to infer the large numbers of inhabitants in and general prosperity of the region during the middle ages (Illustration 1, Figure 1). Its affluence is confirmed in the lay subsidies of 1327, 1332 and 1334. Settlements on the silt fens (for which there is the most information) were so prosperous that they generated among the highest returns per square mile and per vill in England, as well as some of the highest rates per taxpayer (Campbell and Bartley 2006: Maps 18.3, 18.13). Although only 20% of English settlements paid more than £225 in 1334, that select group includes not only Ely (paying £358), Leverington (paying £360), and Wisbech (paying £410) but almost every other silt fen vill (Glasscock 1973: 181-3; 1975: 28, 107, 168-9).
  • London and Middlesex in the 1660S Introduction: the Early Modern

    London and Middlesex in the 1660S Introduction: the Early Modern

    London and Middlesex in the 1660s Introduction: The early modern metropolis first comes into sharp visual focus in the middle of the seventeenth century, for a number of reasons. Most obviously this is the period when Wenceslas Hollar was depicting the capital and its inhabitants, with views of Covent Garden, the Royal Exchange, London women, his great panoramic view from Milbank to Greenwich, and his vignettes of palaces and country-houses in the environs. His oblique birds-eye map- view of Drury Lane and Covent Garden around 1660 offers an extraordinary level of detail of the streetscape and architectural texture of the area, from great mansions to modest cottages, while the map of the burnt city he issued shortly after the Fire of 1666 preserves a record of the medieval street-plan, dotted with churches and public buildings, as well as giving a glimpse of the unburned areas.1 Although the Fire destroyed most of the historic core of London, the need to rebuild the burnt city generated numerous surveys, plans, and written accounts of individual properties, and stimulated the production of a new and large-scale map of the city in 1676.2 Late-seventeenth-century maps of London included more of the spreading suburbs, east and west, while outer Middlesex was covered in rather less detail by county maps such as that of 1667, published by Richard Blome [Fig. 5]. In addition to the visual representations of mid-seventeenth-century London, a wider range of documentary sources for the city and its people becomes available to the historian.

ABSTRACT The thesis argues that the most distinctive feature of the Labour Church was Theological Socialism. For its founder, John Trevor, Theological Socialism was the literal Religion of Socialism, a post-Christian prophecy announcing the dawn of a new utopian era explained in terms of the Kingdom of God on earth; for members of the Labour Church, who are referred to throughout the thesis as Theological Socialists, Theological Socialism was an inclusive message about God working through the Labour movement. By focussing on Theological Socialism the thesis challenges the historiography and reappraises the significance of the Labour

    The Impact and Embedding of an Established Resource: British History Online as a Case Study Grant 7/10. JISC e-Content and Digitisation Programmes: Impact and Embedding of Digitised Resources Jonathan Blaney and Peter Webster, Institute of Historical Research, School of Advanced Study, University of London. March 2011 Background and context British History Online (BHO) is a digital library of core sources for the medieval and modern history of Great Britain. BHO was launched in 2003 and is a well-used resource: in the 12- month period to 30 September 2010 there were just over 17 million page views and almost four million visits; it has a comprehensive set of usage data going back over a number of years. JISC‟s funding of an impact analysis of the site provided for a further stage to (and expansion of) an ongoing longitudinal analysis by the BHO team of the impact of digital resources in the historical profession. These analyses, which were mostly interview-based, took place in 2002, 2005, and 2009-10. The team were always aware that these benchmarking studies focused on research alone and that teaching and learning had not been investigated. The present project has enabled the team to fill this gap in our knowledge of the use of digital resources, and of BHO in particular, in teaching and learning, as well as to extend our benchmarking of the impact of digital resources in research. Our study sought to answer the following questions: (i) how is BHO currently used in university-sector teaching in the UK? Is it used for teaching to a greater

  • Memory in Early Modern England

    Memory in Early Modern England

    Part II Special Subject C Memory in Early Modern England Prof. Alex Walsham ([email protected]) Overview Without memory, we could not write History. But memory itself has a history. This Special Subject investigates one segment of that history in the context of sixteenth- and seventeenth- century England. By contrast with medievalists and modernists, early modernists have been slow to investigate how the arts of remembering and forgetting were implicated in and affected by the profound religious, political, intellectual, cultural, and social upheavals of the period. However, there is now a growing surge of exciting and stimulating research on this topic. Its relevance and centrality to key historiographical debates and its capacity to shed fresh light on classic questions regarding one of the most tumultuous eras in English history are increasingly being recognised. Set against the backdrop of the profound ruptures of the Reformation, Civil Wars, and the constitutional revolution of 1688, this Paper seeks to explore how individuals and communities understood and practised memory alongside the ways in which it was exploited and harnessed, divided and fractured, by the unsettling developments through which contemporaries lived and in which they actively participated. It assesses the role played by amnesia and oblivion, nostalgia and commemoration, in facilitating change and in negotiating the legacies it left. Students will be exposed to a wide range of primary sources – from chronicles, diaries, histories, memoirs and compilations of folklore to legal depositions, pictures, maps, buildings, funeral monuments and material objects – that afford insight into the culture and transmutations of early modern memory. Sessions in the Michaelmas Term will explore contemporary perceptions and practices of memory.
