  • The Halloween of Cross Bones Festival of 2007, the Role of the Graveyard Gates and the Monthly Vigils That Take Place There
    Honouring The Outcast Dead: The Cross Bones Graveyard Presented at the 'Interfaith & Social Change: Engagements from the Margins' conference, Winchester University (September 2010) by Dr Adrian Harris. Abstract This paper explores the emergence of a unique 'sacred site' in south London; the Cross Bones graveyard. Cross Bones is an unconsecrated graveyard dating from medieval times which was primarily used to bury the prostitutes who were excluded from Christian burial. Archaeological excavations in the 1990's removed 148 skeletons and estimated that some 15,000 bodies remain buried there. Soon after the excavations began, John Constable, a London Pagan, began to hear "an unquiet spirit whispering in [his] ear" who inspired him to write a series of poems and plays which were later published as 'The Southwark Mysteries ' (Constable, 1999). 'The Southwark Mysteries' in turn inspired the first Cross Bones Halloween festival in 1998, and the date has been celebrated every year since, to honour "the outcast dead" with candles and songs. Although the biggest celebration is at Halloween, people gather at the gates on the 23rd of every month for a simple ritual to honour the ancestors and the spirit of place. Offerings left at the site are often very personal and include ribbons, flowers, dolls, candles in jars, small toys, pieces of wood, beads and myriad objects made sacred by intent. Although many of those involved identify as Pagans, the site itself is acknowledged as Christian. Most - if not all - of those buried there would have identified as Christians and the only iconography in the graveyard itself is a statue of the Madonna.

  • 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.

The city, together with different styles of architecture and their origins, will be explored through a combination of lectures and walking tours. Studying London’s architecture and urbanism through lectures, seminars and the physical exploration of the city enables students to discover and experience architecture and to consider the enrichment it provides to our lives and the historical context in which architectural development takes place. Students will demonstrate knowledge about and appreciation for notable works of architecture in London, employing primary source materials and visual analysis to interrogate the history of key buildings and urban infrastructure and interrogate symbolism and meaning in architecture. The course will foster the skills necessary to interpret creative works of architecture and familiarise students with key works of London’s architecture over a broad historical period covering early modern London to the present day. Lectures and field trips help students develop Historical Consciousness and provide first-hand experience of Aesthetic Exploration.

It examines a variety of primary sources documenting the laws, punishments, and regulations concerning sexual commerce and reaches conclusions about the marginalization of prostitutes and the diverging systems of prostitution control implemented in the City of London and the Bishop of Winchester’s manor in Southwark. First, women, especially prostitutes, were marginalized in medieval English society. The prostitutes' inability to play an active role in either the secular or religious life of English communities cemented their position as outsiders.

  • Interpersonal Violence and Fracture Patterns in 18Th- and 19Th-Century London
    Interpersonal violence and fracture patterns in 18th- and 19th-century London Sarah Lockyer A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2013 Bournemouth University Copyright Statement This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. 2 Abstract Sarah Lockyer Interpersonal violence and fracture patterns in 18th- and 19th-century London Violent behaviour can be seen all over the world and across time; it is also intrinsically linked to culture. As such, the analysis of skeletal material presents excellent physical evidence of violent occurrences within communities. The current thesis looks to understand the possible presence of fracture patterns and interpersonal violence in London during the 18th and 19th centuries by analysing the fracture patterns observed on six skeletal collections from the geographical area and characterised by various social and economic contexts. The contextualisation of each burial ground proved to be imperative to the research. The statistical results revealed that grouping collections together based on their socioeconomic status does not describe nor explain the fracture patterns seen in the collections considering that some did not emulate the characterisation implemented upon them by the media or City officials at the time. It also was found that the patrilineal society and the subsequent sexual division of labour had a profound effect on the results especially when comparing the prevalence of fractures between men and women.
