Coventry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography
Coventry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography is the national record of people who have shaped British history, worldwide, from the Romans to the 21st century. The Oxford DNB (ODNB) currently includes the life stories of over 60,000 men and women who died in or before 2017. Over 1,300 of those lives contain references to Coventry, whether of events, offices, institutions, people, places, or sources preserved there. Of these, over 160 men and women in ODNB were either born, baptized, educated, died, or buried there. Many more, of course, spent periods of their life in Coventry and left their mark on the city’s history and its built environment. This survey brings together over 300 lives in ODNB connected with Coventry, ranging over ten centuries, extracted using the advanced search ‘life event’ and ‘full text’ features on the online site (www.oxforddnb.com). The same search functions can be used to explore the biographical histories of other places in the Coventry region: Kenilworth produces references in 229 articles, including 44 key life events; Leamington, 235 and 95; and Nuneaton, 69 and 17, for example. Most public libraries across the UK subscribe to ODNB, which means that the complete dictionary can be accessed for free via a local library. Libraries also offer 'remote access' which makes it possible to log in at any time at home (or anywhere that has internet access). Elsewhere, the ODNB is available online in schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions worldwide.

Thomas Arnold: a Provincial Psychiatrist in Georgian England
Medical History, 1989, 33: 199-216. THOMAS ARNOLD: A PROVINCIAL PSYCHIATRIST IN GEORGIAN ENGLAND by PETER K. CARPENTER * Thomas Arnold was one ofthe most prominent alienists in England at the end ofthe eighteenth century, but he has passed into comparative obscurity and little has been written about him.' Recently there has been a reawakening of interest in eighteenth- century psychiatry,2 and his publications have again generated interest. However, his own life and his professional struggles also merit description, as examples of the problems of a provincial Georgian mad-doctor, and as the background to his publications. EARLY LIFE Thomas came from comparatively lowly stock. His grandfather was almost certainly Francis Arnold, who in 1684 became a freeman hosier of Leicester by apprenticeship.3 Francis's sons included a butcher, a baker, a woolcomber, and a framework knitter.4 William Arnold, one ofhis younger sons, a freeman baker, was a preacher at the main Baptist chapel in Leicester.5 Between 1739 and 1745 he bought several buildings and parcels of agricultural land on the northern side of the town, within the Roman town walls, and in the early 1740s he set up his madhouse there.6 *Peter K. Carpenter, MB, Ch.B., B.Sc., MRCPsych, 24 Windsor Road, Bristol BS6 5BP. The author would like to thank the staffat the Leicestershire Record Office for their tolerance and help, The Linnean Society of London for allowing access to the Pulteney MSS, and Roy Porter for his encouragement and comments. I The main references to Thomas Arnold are in: Ernest R. Frizelle and Janet D. -

The Chaplin and Skinner Families
2 CHAPLIN AND THEODORICK _____________ his is the first occasion on which an attempt has been made to place on record the history of these families. But few details have been preserved, and the facts here set Tdown must only be considered as the result of such research as has been possible with time and opportunities greatly limited. The Theodoricks were a Norfolk family of yeomen farmers owning their own freeholds. In 1750 John Theodorick of Outwell died. By his will, which he signed on the 18 September 1746, he appointed his loving wife Mary and his son Philip to be his executors. He was the father of several children; to his granddaughter Mary, the wife of Thomas Johnson of Wisbech, he gave £100, and a similar sum to his granddaughter Elizabeth Thistleton, daughter of Elizabeth Thistleton (widow). He was the owner of many lands and houses at Outwell, which he left to:- His son, Philip Theodorick; His grandsons, Thomas and John, both sons of Philip Theodorick; His grandson Richard, son of his deceased son, John Theodorick. Of Philip Theodorick not many facts are to be found, but he appears to have performed his duties as an executor of his father's property. 3 THE FAMILIES OF CHAPLIN AND THEODORICK Thomas Theodorick, son of the above Philip Theodorick, lived at Downham Market, where he practised as a surgeon. In January, 1763, he married Mary, daughter of Anthony Hingham, of Walsingham, having on the 21st of that month settled various properties on her. The issue of this marriage do not concern this history, and it may therefore be briefly stated that they were: (1) Mary, born at Thetford, on 9th December, 1764, and afterwards married to Peter Rouse.
