  • Gothic Beyond Architecture: Manchester’S Collegiate Church
    Gothic beyond Architecture: Manchester’s Collegiate Church My previous posts for Visit Manchester have concentrated exclusively upon buildings. In the medieval period—the time when the Gothic style developed in buildings such as the basilica of Saint-Denis on the outskirts of Paris, Île-de-France (Figs 1–2), under the direction of Abbot Suger (1081–1151)—the style was known as either simply ‘new’, or opus francigenum (literally translates as ‘French work’). The style became known as Gothic in the sixteenth century because certain high-profile figures in the Italian Renaissance railed against the architecture and connected what they perceived to be its crude forms with the Goths that sacked Rome and ‘destroyed’ Classical architecture. During the nineteenth century, critics applied Gothic to more than architecture; they located all types of art under the Gothic label. This broad application of the term wasn’t especially helpful and it is no-longer used. Gothic design, nevertheless, was applied to more than architecture in the medieval period. Applied arts, such as furniture and metalwork, were influenced by, and followed and incorporated the decorative and ornament aspects of Gothic architecture. This post assesses the range of influences that Gothic had upon furniture, in particular by exploring Manchester Cathedral’s woodwork, some of which are the most important examples of surviving medieval woodwork in the North of England. Manchester Cathedral, formerly the Collegiate Church of the City (Fig.3), see here, was ascribed Cathedral status in 1847, and it is grade I listed (Historic England listing number 1218041, see here). It is medieval in foundation, with parts dating to between c.1422 and 1520, however it was restored and rebuilt numerous times in the nineteenth century, and it was notably hit by a shell during WWII; the shell failed to explode.

It spans seventeen critical years in T which public funding was contracting, student grants were diminishing, instructions from the government and the University Grants Commission were multiplying, and universities feared for their reputation in the public eye. It provides a frank account of the University’s struggle against these difficulties and its efforts to prove the value of university education to society and the economy. This volume describes and analyses not only academic developments and changes in the structure and finances of the University, but the opinions and social and political lives of the staff and their students as well.

  • Walls of Resonance: Institutional History and the Buildings of the University of Manchester
    Walls of resonance: institutional history and the buildings of the University of Manchester James Sumner Corrected pre-print draft, October 2012. Lacks images which appeared in the final version. If citing this work formally, please use the version published: Studies in History and Philosophy of Science, Part A, 44(4), December 2013, 700-715, doi 10.1016/j.shpsa.2013.07.014. Why talk about walls? A wide range of research since the 1990s has focused on the material and spatial character of laboratories, museums, hospitals and other sites of science. Historians, geographers, ethnographers and others have traced how spatial arrangement and presentation have been influenced by, and have themselves influenced, the character of research, teaching, and communication with external audiences of various kinds.1 This paper addresses specifically how these insights may be used to let buildings stand for ideas – how the history of an institution or a discipline (known, for the most part, from established documentary sources) may be articulated through its material fabric. Over the past few years, I have led walking tours around the University of Manchester campus for a variety of audiences including undergraduate and graduate students, adult learners enrolled on the University’s former Courses for the Public programme, and members of the public attending events advertised as part of the annual Manchester Science Festival. Related work, developed with my colleagues at the Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine, includes site-based historical survey articles for resources such as the British Society for the History of Science Travel Guide.2 The University has recently endorsed activity in this area through the appointment of Professor John Pickstone as advisor to the institution on its history and heritage.

    chap 4 23/9/03 1:16 pm Page 68 4 The students: life and opinions About 10,000 full-time students registered at Owens for the session of 1974–75, over 11,000 for that of 1979–80. At least 80 per cent were undergraduates. High fees and other obstacles tended to discourage research students, and the proportion of postgraduates sank from about one-fifth to one-sixth of the whole. Part-time degree and diploma students were numbered in hundreds: almost 700 in 1974–75, and over 900 in 1979–80. Most part-timers were now postgraduates; the Robbins Report had concentrated on the need to provide full-time places for a rising generation of young people, although evening degree classes in the Faculty of Economic and Social Studies had survived the Report’s publication by several years. Most undergraduates entered the University at eighteen and left at twenty-one, apart from those in the professional schools, ranging from architecture and planning to medicine and dentistry, whose student life lasted longer. Undergraduates, however, included a significant number of older recruits, known as ‘mature students’, who had not stepped on to the escalator which normally carried bright, conventional teenagers from the sixth-form to the university floor of the educational edifice. Greeted with enthusiasm by many tutors who found them more articu- late and dedicated than run-of-the-mill undergraduates, mature stu- dents numbered about 600 in 1978–79. One of the oldest, John Hogan, obtained in 1977 a Combined Studies degree in American Studies, Eng- lish and History at the age of seventy-one, to the accompaniment of thunderous applause in the Whitworth Hall.
