This term’s edition is themed around Black History and showcases several excellent essays by Exeter’s undergraduate history students, which cover a wide range of Black history at the local, national and global level. We are also delighted to introduce a dedicated section on Black Women’s history in this edition, featuring two essays discussing the role of women in the Civil Rights and the Black Power movements. Particularly in the wake of the George Floyd protests during this summer and renewed focus on Britain’s history of slavery and colonialism, studying and learning about Black History has never been so important. Exeter itself it has a rich history, exemplified by stories such as abolitionist Frederick Douglass’ visit in 1841 to protest against slavery in the US, the experience of Black US Army battalions stationed in the city during the Second World War, and the painting ‘Portrait of an African’ hanging at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum. If you would like to do your own research on Black History in Exeter, sites such as Telling Our Stories, Hannah Murray’s African American abolitionist mapping project (http://frederickdouglassinbritain.com/Map:Ab olitionists/), and the UCL Legacies of British Slave-Ownership database are all excellent places to start. Finally, we would like to thank our junior editors, Joe, Chloe, Elliot, Alice and Sophie for their hard work in helping to put this edition together.

The Civil War fundamentally altered African American these power relations, creating conditions where not only did these fears materialise, but slaveholders became powerless to deal with Resistance to them. In this new context, everyday and radical resistance by African-Americans became central Slavery in the to the collapse of slavery. Instances of everyday resistance clearly show United States how enslaved people were active agents navigating a complex web of conflicting desires - By Tom Spargo and constraints. This experience, however, was entirely misunderstood and distorted by traditional white supremacist histories, African-Americans resisted slavery in a myriad epitomised by Ulrich Philips, who portrayed of ways. For those in bondage, to resist was to slavery as a benign, paternalistic institution and navigate a complex web of desires for survival, constructed an image of slaves as content, improvement of personal circumstances, and docile and stupid, reaping the rewards of white the wellbeing of their community. No simple civilisation.2 Stanley Elkins’ Slavery shows how binary opposition between cooperation and such racism – in this case masked in elaborate resistance is thus observable. Acts of resistance psychoanalysis – persisted in academic circles were a blend of both, by which enslaved despite increasing pressure from the Civil Rights African-Americans worked the system to their movement.

  • With Determination and Fortitude We Come to Vote: Black Organization and Resistance to Voter Suppression in Mississippi
    WITH DETERMINATION AND FORTITUDE 195 With Determination and Fortitude We Come to Vote: Black Organization and Resistance to Voter Suppression in Mississippi by Michael Vinson Williams On July 2, 1946, brothers Medgar and Charles Evers, along with four friends, decided they would vote in their hometown of Decatur, Missis- sippi. Both brothers had registered without incident but when the men returned to cast their ballots they were met by a mob of armed whites. The confrontation grew in intensity with each step toward the polling place. After a few nerve-racking moments of yelling and shoving, the Evers group retreated, but the harassment did not end. Medgar Evers recalled that while they were walking away some of the whites followed them and that one man in a 1941 Ford “leaned out with a shotgun, keep- ing a bead on us all the time and we just had to walk slowly and wait for him to kill us …. They didn’t kill us but they didn’t end it, either.” The African American men went home, retrieved guns of their own, and returned to the polling station but decided to leave the weapons in the car. The white mob again prevented them from entering the voting precinct, and the would-be voters gave up.1 1 This article makes use of the many newspaper clippings catalogued in the Allen Eugene Cox Papers housed at the Mitchell Memorial Library Special Collections Department at Mississippi State University (Starkville) and the Trumpauer (Joan Harris) Civil Rights Scrapbooks Collection at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History in Jackson, Mississippi.

  • Friday Dear Sir, I Presented Your Petition Today, but the Speaker Would Not Allow It to Be Referred to the Committee Which Will
    Friday Dear Sir, I presented your Petition today, but the Speaker would not allow it to be referred to the Committee which will sit after our short Holidays the end of next week because it objects in fact to the principle of the Bill. It will therefore be desirable that you should, after seeing the Bill, attend, as I understand it will be essentially, prepare another Petition against such clauses as you particularly object to – the second Reading took place on the day that your letter reached me, & the Petition was not given to me till the following one – no purpose desired on your part opposition to the to the second Reading, & Mr Leake told me that it was to pass by consent without resistance. Mr Williams told me otherwise afterwards, but you seem to have been tardy in taking defensive measures. Ld Ellenborough’s Bill applies to Exchanges of Common Land, & would probably not meet the present case, of which the object may in fact be useful, if the enclosure of the Cow Common & compulsory tithe assurances be abased now. The allotment proposed for the Poor must probably be desirable. Yrs faithfully, Harcourt This letter was sent by ‘FREE post, of 16 W 16 1834’, to The Revd. R Pryce, Aston, Bampton. It is marked (in a different had and in brown ink) “not Bampton Devon Try Witney Oxon”, and countersigned “W Harcourt” (William Harcourt was the MP for the area). Letter on hardship to follow inclosure of the open fields of Aston My dear Sir, A Bill has been read a first time in the House of Commons, & is immediately to be submitted to the consideration of a Committee, the object of which is to authorize the enclosure of (‘Aston & Coate’ crossed out) the Common Fields of Aston & Coate.

  • Patronage, Performance, and Reputation in the Eighteenth-Century Church
    PATRONAGE, PERFORMANCE, AND REPUTATION IN THE EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY CHURCH DANIEL REED OXFORD BROOKES UNIVERSITY Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the award of Doctor of Philosophy in History SEPTEMBER 2019 1 Lancelot Blackburne, Archbishop of York. After unknown artist. Mezzotint, sold by Thomas Bakewell. 1724 or after. Private collection of Daniel Reed. 2 For Freya 3 Abstract The perceived success of the revisionist programme in dissipating the ‘longest shadow in modern historiography’ calls into question the ongoing relevance of ‘optimistic’ versus ‘pessimistic’ interpretations of the Church of England in the long eighteenth century. And yet, the case of Lancelot Blackburne, Archbishop of York (1724-1743), has not benefitted from the ‘revisionist turn’ and represents an unparalleled problem in accounts of the Georgian episcopate. Whilst Benjamin Hoadly has been the most maligned bishop of the period for his theology, Blackburne is the most derided for his personal imperfections and supposed negligence of his episcopal duties. These references are often pernicious and euphemistic, manifesting in several quasi-apocryphal tales. The most regularly occurring being accounts of Blackburne’s lasciviousness, speculation over the paternity of his chaplain Thomas Hayter, and the Archbishop’s association with piracy. As long as these bastions of resistance to revisionism remain, negative assumptions will linger on in contemporary studies of the Church, regardless of whether they are reframed by current trends. As such, this thesis utilises under-explored archival sources to reorient Blackburne’s case to its historical context. This is achieved through an exploration of the inter-connected themes of patronage, performance, and reputation.

  • A Guide to the Church of the Ancient Parish of St Tudy, North Cornwall
    A GUIDE TO THE CHURCH OF THE ANCIENT PARISH OF ST TUDY, NORTH CORNWALL This guide was originally prepared, in 1994, by The Reverend Raymond Wood, then Rector of St Tudy. The guide was revised and updated by the St Tudy History Group in 2017. All proceeds go to Church Funds Contents Page Introduction 3 St Tudy 4 Brief history of the Church 6 South Porch 8 Nave & North Aisle 8 Lady Chapel 12 Chancel & Sanctuary 12 Organ 14 Vestry 15 South aisle 16 Tower & Bells 22 Churchyard 24 Other buildings 27 Appendices 1. Rectors 2. Organ details 3. Church Plate 4. Bells 5. Tombs & Headstones 6. Glossary 7. Bibliography 8. Reverend Wood’s Prologue 9. Floor Plan Sketch 2 Introduction The St Tudy circular churchyard is considered by Cornwall County Archaeologists to be built on the site of an Iron Age round – there is also evidence of several other Iron Age remains in the village and its environs, indicating that this area has been a settled community for more than 2,500 years and thus the term ‘ancient’ in our title. According to medieval traditions, Christianity arrived in Britain in the 2nd or 3rd century and the existence of Romano Christian inscriptions in Cornwall suggests that Christianity existed in the county by the end of the 5th century. Cornish bishops were reported to have assisted in the consecration of St Chad, Archbishop of the Mercians, in 664 but their names are merely legendary. The first recorded Bishop of Cornwall is Kenstec who was consecrated between 833 and 870. He professed obedience to the Archbishop of Canterbury, marking a stage in the incorporation of the Cornish Celtic Christian church into the English church; at that time Cornwall was a separate kingdom and Dungarth was the King.

    The view from Down St Mary 780 to 2014 DSM timeline © Roger Steer 780 The Saxons reach the Tamar. During the period of the Saxons, the natural forests of Devon are gradually cleared and most of the villages and settlements we take for granted in the countryside are established. 905 Bishop Putta is murdered – some say at the spot where Copplestone cross stands. 909 Diocese of Crediton created. 934-53 Bishop Ethelgar collects funds for the building of St Mary’s Minster at Crediton. 974 Copplestone Cross, at the junction of Down St Mary with two other parishes until 1992, is mentioned in a charter, but is much older than that. It is early Celtic interlaced work such as is not found elsewhere in England except in Northumbria. The cross gives a name to a once noted Devon family which comes in the local rhyme: Crocker, Cruwys, and Coplestone, When the Conqueror came were found at home.

  • Letter from Exeter Cathedral Dean May 2020
    How we can all pull together to make a difference People value Exeter Cathedral in all sorts of ways: as Devon’s best building as the beating heart of Exeter as their place of worship - regular or occasional - with world-class music as a venue for concerts and lectures and educational activities as an inspirational place to pray and reflect as a social hub But the Coronavirus pandemic means that we have had to close our doors for the first time ever in peace time. We are working hard to keep in touch in new ways during lockdown, including a varied programme of online worship, prayer, music, and pastoral support. However, we now need your help to keep it going through this tough time when no one can come in, when our choristers and musicians cannot perform together, and our stalls are empty. We started the year with a balanced budget, but now can expect virtually no commercial income from visitors, events, our cafe or our shop. This is forcing us to review every aspect of cathedral life to see where savings can be made, and is encouraging us to find new income sources, including grants, and a broad appeal across Devon asking people to support their cathedral. We are looking for 3,000 people to give an £5 per week for the next 12 months, and by Gift Aid wherever possible, so that we can face the future with much greater hope. Clearly not everyone will be able to give, but if we can push ourselves to give whatever we can afford, and encourage our friends and neighbours to do the same, we stand a real chance of surviving what otherwise might become a major catastrophe for Exeter Cathedral.
