  • The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, C.1164-C.1560
    1 The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560 Victoria Anne Hodgson University of Stirling Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2016 2 3 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the Cistercian abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560, and its place within Scottish society. The subject of medieval monasticism in Scotland has received limited scholarly attention and Coupar itself has been almost completely overlooked, despite the fact that the abbey possesses one of the best sets of surviving sources of any Scottish religious house. Moreover, in recent years, long-held assumptions about the Cistercian Order have been challenged and the validity of Order-wide generalisations disputed. Historians have therefore highlighted the importance of dedicated studies of individual houses and the need to incorporate the experience of abbeys on the European ‘periphery’ into the overall narrative. This thesis considers the history of Coupar in terms of three broadly thematic areas. The first chapter focuses on the nature of the abbey’s landholding and prosecution of resources, as well as the monks’ burghal presence and involvement in trade. The second investigates the ways in which the house interacted with wider society outside of its role as landowner, particularly within the context of lay piety, patronage and its intercessory function. The final chapter is concerned with a more strictly ecclesiastical setting and is divided into two parts. The first considers the abbey within the configuration of the Scottish secular church with regards to parishes, churches and chapels. The second investigates the strength of Cistercian networks, both domestic and international.

  • Gleaston Castle, Gleaston, Cumbria Results of Aerial Survey And
    Gleaston Castle, Gleaston, Cumbria Results of Aerial Survey and Conservation Statement Helen Evans and Daniel Elsworth April 2016 Gleaston Castle: Aerial Survey and Conservation Statement 1 Summary Gleaston Castle is located on the Furness Peninsula, South Cumbria and is a fortified manor in the form of a courtyard or enclosure castle. The site, now ruinous, originally consisted of a large hall and three towers joined by a substantial curtain wall. The castle may have been constructed in the early 14th Century when Cumbria was subject to raids from Scotland under Robert the Bruce, although there is not necessarily any direct connection to these events, especially given that it is not mentioned in documentary sources before 1350. After a relatively short period as a manorial residence the site was abandoned in the mid-15th Century and recorded as a ruin in the mid-16th Century. Despite the attentions of antiquarians, the history and remains of Gleaston Castle are poorly understood. It has never been fully recorded and required a detailed archaeological survey to better understand its significance and inform future conservation strategies. Elements of the ruinous remains of the castle are in a dangerous structural condition requiring extensive repair and consolidation to make them safe. For this reason the site, immediately adjacent to a public road, is not publically accessible. Gleaston Castle is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade 1 listed building. Presently there is no coherent management structure in place or funds available for its conservation. Although the castle has significant historical, archaeological and tourism potential, the present complexities of its situation have led to a lack of intervention.
