Central banking and finance: the Bank of England and the Bank Act of 1844 Laurent LE MAUX* May 2020 The literature on the Bank of England Charter Act of 1844 commonly adopts the interpretation that it was a crucial step in the construction of central banking in Great Britain and the analytical framework that contrasts rules and discretion. Through examination of the monetary writings of the period and the Bank of England’s interest rate policy, and also through the systematic analysis of the financial aspect of the 1844 Act, the paper shows that such an interpretation remains fragile. Hence the present paper rests on the articulation between monetary history and the history of economic analysis and also on the institutional approach to money and banking so as to assess the consequences of the 1844 Act for the liquidity market and the relations between the central bank and finance.

Subsidiary/cadet families are usually grouped under the oldest, richest, or most influential stem family. Female MPs are counted with their birth families, or, if not born into a parliamentary family, with their husband’s family.

  • Capturing the City: Photography at the Bank of England
    Capturing the City: Photography at the Bank of England An exhibition at the Bank of England Museum and an Archive cataloguing project shed light on different aspects of the organisation’s history through photographs Quarterly Bulletin 2016 Q1 | Volume 56 No. 1 > Next Viewed from outside, the Bank can appear as a formal establishment. The Bank of England Museum’s latest exhibition, Capturing the City: Photography at the Bank of England, aims to show that beyond the austere stone walls of the Bank’s building on Threadneedle Street lies a hive of activity incorporating a remarkable architectural history representing the dynamism of the institution, a diverse range of occupations and a vibrant social history. The Bank of England Archive’s photography collection provides a fascinating record of the Bank, its buildings and staff since the Victorian era. Capturing the City looks at the Bank’s past, and explores the history of a medium that has become so popular today. This slideshow includes a small selection of images, but there are many more on show in the exhibition and in the accompanying online Flickr gallery, along with further detail on the exhibition and Archive project in the associated Quarterly Bulletin article.

The funds to purchase and to build (and then to pay its first principal William Hart Coleridge and his assistant tutors) had been raised by a group of enthusiasts with shared intentions. First, to have a central training college for the Church of England, where young men (aged 18 plus) would be trained in oriental languages and culture as well as Christian faith and practice before they were sent out as missionaries to India, Asia, Africa, the Pacific, and the Americas. Secondly, to have a showcase for their own vision of the Anglican church: a branch of the Catholic church, bearing witness to a long history stretching back to those first missionaries who came from Rome with their leader S Augustine to Kent in 597 AD. They were making a statement about the continuity of the Anglican church. It was founded 1,250 years ago, it was reformed but not broken at the Protestant Reformation, and now they were proud to be standing again on the spot where Augustine and his monks had begun their missionary work in ancient England.

  • Charcoal Ironmasters of Cheshire and Lancashire, 1600-1785
    CHARCOAL IRONMASTERS OF CHESHIRE AND LANCASHIRE, 1600-1785 BY B. G. AWTY, B.A. Read 5 December 1957 ECENT years have seen the discovery of a number of new R sources for the history of the iron industry in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. In particular the Foley MSS. have cast light upon the iron industry of Cheshire, about which so little was known formerly. And fortunately the accounts in the Foley MSS. coincide almost exactly with the period during which the industry there was at its height. Work­ ing backwards and forwards from this fixed point it is now possible to outline the spread of the industry to the Cheshire plain, its growth and decline. In the earlier period considerable help is obtainable from the records of the exchequer court of the palatinate of Chester and also from chancery cases. For the eighteenth century the production lists of furnaces and forges are useful, whilst the books of William Latham, manager of the Duddon furnace, show something of the make-up of the com­ pany which ran the Cheshire ironworks and the outlying fur­ naces b'nked with them. {1) Alfred Fell has given a complete and generally accurate account of the industry in north Lancashire in The Early Iron Industry of Furness and District, but new material on the industry in south Lancashire is very welcome. Only in the date of the erection of Goatfield furnace (p. 412) is Fell's chronology seriously astray. Far from building remote charcoal furnaces in 1775, Kendall and Company were then anxious to dispose of them.
