  • KJ MASTER THESIS FINAL Corrections
    Ordered Spaces, Separate Spheres: Women and the Building of British Convents, 1829-1939 Kate Jordan University College London Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy I, Kate Jordan confirm that the work present- ed in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. _______________________________ Kate Jordan !2 Abstract Over the last forty years, feminist discourses have made considerable impact on the way that we understand women’s historical agency. Linda Nochlin’s question, ‘why have there been no great women artists’ challenged assumptions about the way we consider women in art history and Amanda Vickery brought to the fore questions of women’s authority within ‘separate spheres’ ideology. The paucity of research on women’s historical contributions to architecture, however, is a gap that misrepresents their significant roles. This thesis explores a hitherto overlooked group of buildings designed by and for women; nineteenth and twentieth century English convents. Many of these sites were built according to the rules of communities whose ministries extended beyond contemplative prayer and into the wider community, requiring spaces that allowed lay-women to live and work within the convent walls but without disrupting the real and imagined fabric of monastic traditions - spaces that were able to synthesise contemporary domestic, industrial and institutional architecture with the medieval cloister. The demanding specifications for these highly innovative and complex spaces were drawn up, overwhelmingly, by nuns. While convents might be read as spaces which operated at the interstices between different architectures, I will argue they were instead conceived as sites that per- formed varying and contradictory functions simultaneously.

  • St J O H N's, E a S I N G W O
    ST J O H N’S, E A S I N G W O L D A SESQUICENTENARY 1833-1983 ASINGWOLD is one of the oldest Catholic missions in the district, and had cards fallen a different way at the time of the French Revolution, Easinwold rather than Ampleforth Emight have become a well-known monastic name. The celebration to mark the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the Catholic church in that town, while in one sense no more than the human fascination with round numbers – would not the 153rd anniversary have been scripturally more complete? – is in another sense an important realisation that much has happened, that much has been achieved, and that there is much for which we should give thanks to God. And it is a celebration in which the whole town can readily share, the more so because of the especially good ecumenical spirit fostered by the respective recent ministers. When the then parish priest (Fr Denis Marshal) published his Brief Sketch in 1945, he subtitled it ‘A Story of Struggle and Achievement’, and that phrase is perhaps a synopsis of the whole history of Easingwold, for it has never been important or famous, nor achieved any distinguished sons: York has its Constantine and Guy Fawkes, Whitby, Captain Cook and Coxwold, Laurence Sterne, but Easingwold remains quiet, attractive and undemonstrative. It is nonetheless an interesting subject of study. From a religious point of view the story of the growth of mission into parish (canonically achieved on 25 October 1918), based on very little resource and support, is indeed a story of both struggle and achievement: but on a wider view, the history of the town, and indeed the question of why it is there at all, and why it has its present curious shape, is indeed intriguing, but one whose study is much inconvenienced by the thinness of the evidence.

  • Mary Ward Lecture February 11Th 2009 Cambridge Divinity
    MARY WARD LECTURE FEBRUARY 11TH 2009 CAMBRIDGE DIVINITY SCHOOL On the feast of the Annunciation, 1586 Margaret Clitherow, a butcher’s wife of York, suffered the horrific peine forte et dure of being crushed to death for harbouring a Catholic priest. This barbaric punishment was the legal sanction imposed on those who refused to testify during trial. Margaret’s silence was both a denial that she was guilty of any crime and an attempt to save her family and neighbours from having to testify. Though silent in death, Margaret’s life story resounded throughout the recusant Catholic community and beyond, told by John Mush, a priest whom she had sheltered. Mush was her spiritual director and later that of Mary Ward, whose cousin Francis Ingleby, another priest sheltered by Margaret Clitherow, died a martyr’s death on the Knavesmire in York in June of the same year. This web of connections was part of an extended network of recusant women and men whose enforced silence was broken by the irrepressible force of story and memory. This study looks at the theme of silence in the life of Mary Ward and those who sought to keep her story alive. Positively, contemplative silence operated as the ground of Mary’s remarkable vocation. Negatively, it was imposed on her and on her memory long after her death by a church that failed to understand the specific and universal value of that vocation. It stems from a more general silence imposed historically on women both in the church and in society as a whole.

  • Eighteenth-Century Women and English Catholicism
    Eighteenth-Century Women and English Catholicism Anna Battigelli, State University of New York, Plattsburgh Laura M. Stevens, University of Tulsa It always comes as a surprise when the nocturnal erupts into broad daylight. –Michel de Certeau1 When the pauper Mary Arrowsmith was found dead at Derwent Bridge in Walton, Lancashire in 1747, authorities discovered a Catholic cat- echism in her pocket. She had inscribed it “Mary Arrowsmith her book.”2 Death has a way of bringing what has been hidden to light, and this episode suggests much about the hidden persistence, and persistent hiddenness, of Catholicism in eighteenth-century England.3 The discovery of Arrowsmith’s body occurred a mere two years after a failed Jacobite invasion of Great Britain. Anti-Catholic sentiment had risen to an all-time high between 1744 and 1746, stoked by Dissenting and Anglican propaganda campaigns. Printed pamphlets, sermons, and books recycled long-standing fears associ- ated with the consequences of an imagined Catholic resurgence: tyranny, religious persecution, suppression of free thought, plots to aid England’s enemies, and atrocities against innocents.4 Indeed, anti-Catholic texts so saturated the book market that the bookseller Ralph Griffiths observed that printers lost money by having “glut[ted] the publick with pieces of that Sort.”5 In Lancashire and elsewhere, mobs attacked Mass-houses, yet Arrowsmith’s possession of the Catholic catechism seems to signal a will- ingness to pursue Catholic doctrine beyond the stereotypes of the popular press.
