  • “Lucet in Tenebris Veritas”: the Records of Kent's Two Dioceses
    Issue 15, Autumn 2019 Image from U269/O186/2 (c.1777), Lt. Notebook of Lieutenant Whitworth of the Royal Regiment of Artillery. “Lucet in Tenebris Veritas”: The Records of Kent’s Two Dioceses (A Day Conference) 28 September 9.30 a.m. for 10.00 a.m., Kent History and Library Centre. Tickets: £12 to include a buffet lunch, booking essential. Don’t forget Kent Archives’ special one-day conference that is being held to mark the recent consolidation of the archives of Kent’s two ecclesiastical dioceses, Rochester and Canterbury, under one roof at the Kent History and Library Centre. To promote this landmark event, we are adopting the Latin motto of the seventeenth-century notary public William Somner, whose penwork can be found in contemporary documents found among the archives. Lucit in tenebris veritas, meaning ‘the truth shines in darkness’, expounds the effect that we hope our speakers will have: that is, by exploring some of the rich diversity of material found in these collections they will shed light – where perhaps there was previously darkness – on a range of topics relevant to people interested in different sorts of history, including family, local, cultural, and ecclesiastical. Documents from both collections will be on display. The conference will feature papers by: • Ken Fincham (University of Kent) on the Clergy of the Church of England Database • Catherine Richardson (University of Kent) on the early modern household • Timothy Brittain-Catlin (University of Kent) on Queen Anne’s Bounty • Celia Heritage (Ancestry Progenealogists) on wills and probate records for the family historian • Sheila Sweetinburgh (Canterbury Christ Church University) on lay piety in late medieval Kent • Paula Simpson (Wren Library, Trinity College Cambridge) on the involvement of women in early modern tithe disputes For further information or bookings please call us on 03000 420673 or email [email protected].
