  • Death, Time and Commerce: Innovation and Conservatism in Styles of Funerary Material Culture in 18Th-19Th Century London
    Death, Time and Commerce: innovation and conservatism in styles of funerary material culture in 18th-19th century London Sarah Ann Essex Hoile UCL Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD Declaration I, Sarah Ann Essex Hoile confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signature: Date: 2 Abstract This thesis explores the development of coffin furniture, the inscribed plates and other metal objects used to decorate coffins, in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century London. It analyses this material within funerary and non-funerary contexts, and contrasts and compares its styles, production, use and contemporary significance with those of monuments and mourning jewellery. Over 1200 coffin plates were recorded for this study, dated 1740 to 1853, consisting of assemblages from the vaults of St Marylebone Church and St Bride’s Church and the lead coffin plates from Islington Green burial ground, all sites in central London. The production, trade and consumption of coffin furniture are discussed in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 investigates coffin furniture as a central component of the furnished coffin and examines its role within the performance of the funeral. Multiple aspects of the inscriptions and designs of coffin plates are analysed in Chapter 5 to establish aspects of change and continuity with this material. In Chapter 6 contemporary trends in monuments are assessed, drawing on a sample recorded in churches and a burial ground, and the production and use of this above-ground funerary material culture are considered.

It is the longest coastline in Kent. 4.4.1.2 Approximately 55 km is on PRoWs, 27 km is de facto access (though some is difficult walking) and 33 km is inaccessible to w alkers. The majority of the 27 km of inaccessible coast does not appear to be excepted land. From the Coastal Access aspect it is the most complicated coastline in Kent. Part of the mainland route is along the Saxon Shore Way. 4.4.1.3 The view to seaw ard at the start is over the Medw ay estuary. There are extensive saltings and several uninhabited islands. The route then follows the River Sw ale to Sheppey and back to the Medw ay Estuary. The north and east coasts of Sheppey look out to the Thames Estuary.

  • A GROUP of MOUNDS on SEASALTER LEVEL, NEAR WHITSTABLE, and the MEDIEVAL IMBANKING in THIS AREA by M
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 70 1956 A GROUP OF MOUNDS ON SEASALTER LEVEL, NEAR WHITSTABLE, AND THE MEDIEVAL IMBANKING IN THIS AREA By M. W. THOMPSON THE origin of the mounds that are so commonly found on the marshes around the British Isles has always been a perplexing problem. The Essex Archaeological Society, it will be remembered, after several seasons' excavation on the Red Hills in the Essex marshes were unable to decide what activity had caused their accumulation, and it was only ten years later that Mr. R. A. Smith1 by the use of convincing Conti- nental parallels was able to show beyond reasonable doubt that they were the remains of salt works, where sea-water had been evaporated by an unfamiliar method. A few years later other members of this Society excavated further mounds, taller than the Red Hills, without briquetage and of Medieval date.2 They concluded they were salt works also, a view lent some support by the enclosures adjoining them. In the mounds we shall discuss below there was practically no briquetage and very little red earth; the mounds were clearly Medieval in date and not Roman or Iron Age like the Red Hills; and on Sheppey (within sight three miles away) the dialect word " coterells,"3 apparently of ancient origin, suggested that the mounds there may have been thrown up as refuges for cattle and sheep during tidal flooding. For these reasons we were reluctant to regard these mounds as salt works until the bulldozing of further intact mounds showed such frequent traces of burning that the conclusion became unavoidable that some industrial activity was involved.

    ANTIQUITY, MV, 1971 PLATES XIII-XX The Graveney boat ANGELA CARE EVANS and VALERIE H. FENWICK We published in our last number (I97I, 41, pls. I-11) a brief preliminary note by Mr Basil Greenhill, Director of the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, on the finding and rescue excavation of this pre-Conquest boat from the Kent marshes. Now we have the promised further account from Miss Evans and Mrs Fenwick who directed work in the field at the request of the National Maritime Museum which financed the joint British MuseumlNational Maritime Museum project. Miss Evans, Research Assistant at the British Museum, is working on the detailed account of the Sutton Hoo ship for the first volume of the dejinitive publication of the 7th-century ship burial. Mrs Fenwick, who was also a member of Mr Bruce-Mitfmd’s 196517 team at Sutton Hoo, is a Specialist Assistant transferred to the National Maritime Museum. She will be writing the oficial account of the Graveney Boat for the Museum publication which will cover the whole field of the archaeology, recovery, conservation and reconstruction of the vessel. Staffs of both Museums assisted throughout. (Plate I of our March number has been reprinted as plate XIII for ease of reference.) In September 1970 part of a clinker-built boat connected Graveney village to the sea is today was discovered accidentally during the ex- represented by the southern section of White cavation of a large drainage channel on Graveney Drain and a portion of Hammond Drain.
