The eight tiles held at the British Museum and the two tiles and fragments at the Victoria and Albert Museum are believed to be the remains of a longer series which were mounted as a wall frieze in Tring Parish Church. The images on the tiles portray Jesus, from ages three to eight, performing miracles of killing and revival, trickery, and acts of charity. The final tile depicts a wedding feast similar to the feast at Cana. Explanation for the placement of these tiles, produced with a rare technique and containing unusual portrayals of Jesus, in a parish church, is dependent upon the examination and interpretation of religious and social perspectives in early fourteenth-century England. 8 I. INTRODUCTION The Tring Tiles exist as a solitary example of English Gothic art produced for public viewing which depict stories from the apocryphal Gospels of the Infancy of Christ. In the loosely connected episodes, Jesus, from the ages of four to eight years, performs miracles to kill and revive his antagonists, as well as miracles of healing and charity.Fig'1 The origin and history of the ten rectangular red clay tiles are shrouded in the mystery of evidence lost to time.

    Medieval Heritage and Pilgrimage Walks Cleveland Way Trail: walk the 3 miles from Rievaulx Abbey, Yorkshire to Helmsley Castle and tread in the footsteps of medieval Pilgrims along what’s now part of the Cleveland Way Trail. Camino de Santiago/Way of St James, Spain: along with trips to the Holy Land and Rome, this is the most famous medieval pilgrimage trail of all, and the most well-travelled in medieval times, at least until the advent of Black Death. Its destination point is the spot St James is said to have been buried, in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Today Santiago is one of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites. Read more . the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela holds a Pilgrims’ Mass every day at noon. Walk as much or as little of it as you like. Follow the famous scallop shell symbols. A popular starting point, both today and in the Middle Ages, is either Le Puy in the Massif Central, France OR the famous medieval Abbey at Cluny, near Paris. The Spanish start is from the Pyrenees, on to Roncevalles or Jaca. These routes also take in the Via Regia and/or the Camino Frances. The Portuguese way is also popular: from the Cathedrals in either Lisbon or Porto and then crossing into Falicia/Valenca. At the end of the walk you receive a stamped certifi cate, the Compostela. To achieve this you must have walked at least 100km or cycled for 200. To walk the entire route may take months. Read more . The route has inspired many TV and fi lm productions, such as Simon Reeve’s BBC2 ‘Pilgrimage’ series (2013) and The Way (2010), written and directed by Emilio Estevez, about a father completing the pilgrimage in memory of his son who died along the Way of St James.

  • E & HT Anthony Catalog
    Introduction The following individuals (listed alphabetically) contributed especially significant ideas or amounts of data to this project; their assistance is acknowledged with gratitude: The late Mr. A. Verner Conover, the late Dr. William C. Darrah, Mr. Jeffrey Krause, the late Mr. Frederick Lightfoot, and Mr. Russell Norton. The tedious and exacting transfer of data from the Anthony catalogs into the computer data base was done by Mrs. Patricia Treadwell. Mrs. Joleeta Treadwell greatly assisted in the compilation of information from the Conover collection. The work was supported in part by a grant from the National Stereoscopic Association's research fund. Data conversions by Wolfgang Sell. The Anthony company was among the largest producers of stereoviews in the world, as well as one of the earliest. The involvement in stereo came considerably later, however, than the initial founding of the organization by Edward Anthony in 1840. Remarkably, he was only 22 at the time but had already graduated from Columbia College and worked professionally in several fields. And it should be remembered that only in the previous year -- 1839 -- had Daguerre publicly described his photographic process. Edward Anthony studied photography under Samuel F. B. Morse, and absorbed from him not only the necessary technical information but also some knowledge of artistic matters in general. Edward Anthony Henry Anthony With his brother Henry he had been employed as an engineer on the Croton aqueduct project, and continued experimenting with daguerreotypes. In 1840 he worked with the joint American-British commission charged with determining the boundary between Maine and Canada, taking a number of images to support the observations of the surveyors.

  • Beyond the Castle Gate: the Role of Royal Landscapes in Constructions of English Medieval Kingship and Queenship
    Beyond the Castle Gate: The Role of Royal Landscapes in Constructions of English Medieval Kingship and Queenship by 1 AMANDA RICHARDSON, Chichester Abstract2 This paper derives from the text of a Powerpoint presentation delivered at Würzburg on 20 February 2010 at the conference “Herrschaft und Burgenland-schaften – Fränkische und internationale Forschung im Vergleich”.3 It mainly concerns the royal deer parks and forests connected with castles, rather than the castles themselves, and aims to explore the role of those landscapes in the construction of kingship and queenship in late- medieval England. The paper employs case studies of English medieval queens – in particular Margaret of France (d. 1318), but also Eleanor of Provence (d. 1291), Eleanor of Castile (d. 1290), Isabella of France (d. 1358) and Margaret of Anjou (d. 1482) – whose properties included many castles, forest and parks. It will begin by briefly explaining the English medieval forest system, and by considering the ways in which Clarendon Forest and park (Wiltshire) functioned in advertising royal power from the late 13th to the mid 14th century. It ends by concluding that relationships between high-status gender and space – both interior and exterior – may not be as straightforward as scholars have sometimes assumed. 1 Dr Richardson is Senior Lecturer in Medieval and Early Modern History at the University of Chichester. She completed her doctorate, on the medieval forest, park and palace of Clarendon (Wiltshire) in 2003 and has written many articles on deer parks and forests. At present she is researching a monograph on the estates of the medieval queens of England, c.

  • Effigies Ad Regem Angliae and the Representation of Kingship in Thirteenth-Century English Royal Culture
    Effigies ad Regem Angliae and the Representation of Kingship in Thirteenth-Century English Royal Culture Judith Collard In the ‘Treasures of the British Library’ display, in the section devoted to various manuscripts of Magna Carta, are three large reproductions of thirteenth- and fourteenth- century English manuscripts. Two reproduce a single image of the Coronation of Henry III (London, British Library, Cotton MS. Vitellius A. XIII, f. 6), which comes from a late thirteenth-century manuscript representing the kings of England. Although familiar, as images from this work have been frequently reproduced, this manuscript has received little critical attention. The focus of this paper is this unusual sequence of images depicting each English king from Edward the Confessor to Edward I, known as the Effigies ad Regem Angliae. Produced during the reign of Edward I, Cotton MS. Vitellius A. XIII was made at a time when there was a sudden increase in the number of illustrated historical texts. These included the Flores Historiarum manuscripts and a group of illuminated genealogical rolls that also depicted English kings. Prior to the 1270s, with the notable exception of Matthew Paris’s extensive chronicles, very few histories were illustrated. The Effigies of the Kings of England, however, with its short Anglo-Norman texts and the attention given to narrative scenes, is unlike any other illustrated historical work produced in the second half of the thirteenth century. This deluxe manuscript draws its influences from a wide range of sources, both written and visual, including romances, chronicles and the decoration of royal apartments. I would suggest that it is by locating this work’s deft manipulation of the imagery of kingship within a broader royal visual culture, rather than the limited number of illuminated manuscripts produced at the time that focus on English history, that its context becomes clearer.

  • Granholm Genealogy
    GRANHOLM GENEALOGY USA PRESIDENTIAL RELATIONS INTRODUCTION This booklet describes a relationship between our ancestors and the possibly most prestigious person in USA, the first President George Washington. Unlike royalty and rulers in Europe, which has family dynasties, USA with its elected Presidents, has no lineage from one ruler to another. In case of George Washington, he had no children of his own, so he is nobody’s ancestor. His great grandfather emigrated from England and he is a related to many of the European kings. Thus we share many ancestors and here I have presented one English lineage from one of many common ancestors. Since my granddaughter Anna was born on the same day, July 4, as America, I have shown our kinship with George Washington as it relates to her. Two lists related to us and George Washington are included; one shows on the top the common ancestor and two columns, the left with Washington’s ancestors, which also are our cousins and the right column with our ancestors. A second list shows in some more detail the earliest ancestors of Washington including the relationship to Anna. For these I have included some biography mainly from the Internet Wikipedia. I have included only one text page about Washington, there is so much about him elsewhere. King George III of England was Washington’s opponent in the Revolutionary War. The two last pages show a separate list about how we are also related to him and some information about him. Here also the left column lists our cousins, the right our ancestors.
