Firstly, congratulations and a warm welcome to Durham University and Hatfield 21 College. My name is Dom Cornfield and I am the Senior Man for this coming year; this is the same role as JCR President in other colleges but by convention and tradition it’s called the “Senior Man” at Hatfield. I have just graduated with a degree in Chinese Studies, including a year abroad studying at Tsinghua University in Beijing. My role is predominantly to act as a voice for the JCR on various committees as the key undergraduate representative for college; I also coordinate the work of the rest of the executive committee to ensure that the JCR is operating as it should be. It’s not all administrative work though, as you’ll see me at every formal and often around college in the café or bar, definitely my favourite place in college! Feel free to contact me anytime, either through my weekly drop in hours, via social DOM CORNFIELD media (@hatfieldjcr.seniorman) or on email: SENIOR MAN 2021/22 [email protected].

  • Of St Cuthbert'
    A Literary Pilgrimage of Durham by Ruth Robson of St Cuthbert' 1. Market Place Welcome to A Literary Pilgrimage of Durham, part of Durham Book Festival, produced by New Writing North, the regional writing development agency for the North of England. Durham Book Festival was established in the 1980s and is one of the country’s first literary festivals. The County and City of Durham have been much written about, being the birthplace, residence, and inspiration for many writers of both fact, fiction, and poetry. Before we delve into stories of scribes, poets, academia, prize-winning authors, political discourse, and folklore passed down through generations, we need to know why the city is here. Durham is a place steeped in history, with evidence of a pre-Roman settlement on the edge of the city at Maiden Castle. Its origins as we know it today start with the arrival of the community of St Cuthbert in the year 995 and the building of the white church at the top of the hill in the centre of the city. This Anglo-Saxon structure was a precursor to today’s cathedral, built by the Normans after the 1066 invasion. It houses both the shrine of St Cuthbert and the tomb of the Venerable Bede, and forms the Durham UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Durham Castle and other buildings, and their setting. The early civic history of Durham is tied to the role of its Bishops, known as the Prince Bishops. The Bishopric of Durham held unique powers in England, as this quote from the steward of Anthony Bek, Bishop of Durham from 1284-1311, illustrates: ‘There are two kings in England, namely the Lord King of England, wearing a crown in sign of his regality and the Lord Bishop of Durham wearing a mitre in place of a crown, in sign of his regality in the diocese of Durham.’ The area from the River Tees south of Durham to the River Tweed, which for the most part forms the border between England and Scotland, was semi-independent of England for centuries, ruled in part by the Bishop of Durham and in part by the Earl of Northumberland.

  • The Magazine for Alumni and Friends of Durham University
    THE MAGAZINE FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF DURHAM UNIVERSITY 2018 ISSUE 04 ISSUE 04 2018 DUNELM MAGAZINE 3 Dear alumni of Durham Durham, as it always has, is continuing to develop. Major advances have been made on the plans laid out in the University Strategy, 2017-2027. As you will see in your magazine, we have begun work on a new Centre for Teaching and Learning near St Mary’s and we now have planning permission for our 17th college, the first in ten years, which will be built near Van Mildert on South Road. The developments at Maiden Castle and in Computer Science are also moving forward quickly. You can see the artists’ drawings of some of these projects over the next few pages. In order to prepare the way for the transition of colleges and departments into Durham from Queen’s Campus Stockton, Ustinov College has now moved into a first-class new home at Sheraton Park (the old Neville’s Cross college site), and John Snow and Stephenson Colleges have established bases in Durham City in preparation for their move into Durham over the summer. Meanwhile in Queen’s, our new International Study Centre (ISC) has enjoyed a successful first term, and we are looking forward to a large number of ISC students joining Durham University degree courses next year. All of this work is designed not only to keep Durham at the pinnacle of UK education but also to expand our global reputation and reach; and so I am also pleased to let you know that we have a new Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Professor Claire O’Malley, who will lead on globalizing Durham.

  • Thomas Hatfield Bishop, Soldier, and Politician Òåð÷Ó Æúóðôþýńôèå
    86336 lim1-8 int NB.pdf page 1 de 8, Juillet 25, 2012 10:33:45 Thomas Hatfield at War | i Thomas Hatfield Bishop, Soldier, and Politician òåð÷ó æÚóðôþýńôèå Thomas Hatfield (c. 1310–81) rose from origins amongst the Yorkshire gentry to become a valued royal servant under King Edward III. As such, he participated in the elaborate administration required for warfare in France in the late 1330s. Clerical careers in royal administration could lead to ecclesiastical office through royal patronage, and Hatfield’s qual- ities marked him for early promotion. In 1345 he was elected Bishop of Durham, an office he held until his death. As bishop he retained a strong connection with royal service. He was also employed in the management of northern England and England’s relations with Scotland. At the same time, he remained a dedicated advocate of the autonomy of the Durham palatinate over which he ruled as bishop. Hatfield’s long episcopacy ensured that he made his mark on his bishopric and on the cathedral church of Durham, where his elaborate tomb is still seen. Hatfield Col- lege, a college of Durham University, is named after him. Based on a series of lectures given at Hatfield College in 2010, the assumed seven hundredth anniversary of Thomas Hatfield’s birth, this volume highlights the unique military, political, and clerical roles he per- formed and his notable legacies. The studies in this volume advance knowledge of both the man and his remarkable career and, in so doing, enhance understanding of the wider secular and religious world in which he lived.

  • History of Hatfield
    History of Hatfield When Hatfield was founded in 1846, it was a revolutionary development in residential higher education. For the first time, student rooms were let furnished, all meals were taken in Hall, expenses were fixed, reasonable and known in advance. Students and staff were regarded as a community, cared for and guided by College Officers. Most of this is fairly general practice now but it took some time before it became an accepted model throughout the world. 50 years later, after some initial uncertainties Hatfield had developed into a well known, predominantly theological, establishment under Archibald Robertson, later an eminent bishop At the centenary of its foundation Hatfield had changed its emphasis to science and education but reached a low ebb until the end of World War II, when Eric Birley supervised the revival of the College and was responsible for many modern aspects of administration and organization including the establishment of a tutorial system and provision of facilities for a Senior Common Room. In midsummer 2006, the rugby days of Tom Whitworth were history, and the admission of women – agonized under James Barber and grudgingly accepted are now a welcome fact. The features of the present time are, vastly larger student numbers, a wider range of study courses, and increasingly good academic results. The Hatfield spirit – present from early days – is alive and well. There are some things money can’t buy.(2005) 1 SITE AND SETTING Hatfield College is a residential college in Durham University. It is in the city centre, nestling near the Cathedral on its World Heritage peninsula site.
