A number of chapters cover the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods. First, Jane Eade delineates the important convergence of portraiture and heraldry, a link that she underscores with the little-known fact that William Segar, Garter King of Arms (d. ), was both a herald and a portrait painter. Eade provides some interesting examples of heraldic symbolism from this context, beautifully illustrated. KathrynWill demonstrates that the wide interest in, and study of, heraldry by the aspiring new men of this era led to a popularisation of heraldic parody in literature, some of it with decidedly sexual undertones. Adrian Ailes considers how popular awareness of heraldic symbolism spilled over into satirical artwork well into the eighteenth century. Continuing the literary theme, Fiona Robertson notes the popular use of heraldry in nineteenth-century fiction, making the interesting observation that the sloppy use of the term ‘crest’ instead of coat of arms saw its origins in Sir Walter Scott’s novels. Shaun Evans deals with the Five Courts of Mostyn in Tudor Wales. Michael Snodin provides a synthesis of Horace Walpole’s interest in heraldry as displayed at Strawberry Hill; Walpole enjoyed creating heraldic ‘pedigrees’ for his cherished objects as a means of vaunting previous distinguished owners. Peter Lindfield considers what drove the eighteenthcentury Lancashire saddler Thomas Barritt to become an important collector of heraldic art. Clive Cheesman gives us a fascinating insight into the rising interest in the swastika in the early twentieth century, such that it rather unexpectedly came to be used in English heraldry. Interest was sparked by Schliemann’s discoveries at Troy, following which the device became elevated to ‘an unprecedented pitch of semiotic potency’. This led the Norfolk historian, Walter Rye, to adopt a shield charged with three swastikas, which to modern eyes appear disturbingly National Socialist. The volume is rounded off by Patric Dickinson’s consideration of personal symbolism displayed on coats of arms, with examples ranging from the medieval to the modern. This beautifully illustrated volume both titillates and inspires. It successfully captures the theme of the symposium, which sought to bring together historians frommany different disciplines in an appreciation of the diverse roles that heraldry has played over the centuries.","PeriodicalId":44308,"journal":{"name":"Antiquaries Journal","volume":"102 1","pages":"488 - 490"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47620672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"BLACKBALLING BUCKLER: THE LETTERS OF JOHN BUCKLER (1770–1851), THE CARTER SCHOOL AND THE FOUNDATIONS OF AN ANTIQUARIAN DYNASTY","authors":"J. Mardell","doi":"10.1017/S0003581522000038","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S0003581522000038","url":null,"abstract":"This paper examines the story, hitherto neglected by scholarship, of the antiquarian artist and architect John Buckler (1770–1851) through a remarkable cache of his letters at the Bodleian Library. Most of the letters relate to Buckler’s attempts to be elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. Having twice been blackballed in 1808 and 1809, he canvassed Britain’s leading antiquarian figures for support. With the blackballing of the architect James Wyatt in 1797 frequently alluded to, Buckler’s blackballing was the result of a cabal against him led by Sir Joseph Banks and Samuel Lysons, which had to do with both factionalism – ie his closeness to the preservationist faction led by Richard Gough and John Carter, termed the Carter school – and the Society’s onslaught against professionals. His eventual success in 1810 institutionalised his practice, allowed him entry into polite society and brought him closer to aristocratic patronage. The remainder of the Bodleian letters relate to Buckler’s topographical work recording medieval buildings across the UK, showing how he took on the revisionist medievalist project promoted by the Carter school. The article will explain Buckler’s role in the developing discourses of antiquarianism and the Gothic Revival, and how his association with the Carter school laid the foundations for the work of the Buckler dynasty. Over three generations, in line with the family name (meaning ‘to protect’), they sought to embody the idea of the architect-antiquary as a protector.","PeriodicalId":44308,"journal":{"name":"Antiquaries Journal","volume":"102 1","pages":"418 - 446"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43357285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He pioneered the methodical study of historical documents, compiling a guide to the abbreviations and contractions found in medieval manuscripts, and, because some of the documents are in Old English, he made a plan to prepare an Anglo-Saxon grammar and established a lectureship in Anglo-Saxon at the University of Cambridge. After his death his books and papers were dispersed in stages, many of them being bought by subsequent antiquaries. The printed part of this paper surveys the history of his books and papers, with particular attention to his letters, which have never been listed or presented in an organized form despite calls for this to be done since 1930. The supplementary part (online) offers a conspectus of the letters in chronological order with indications of where they are found and of their more important contents. They throw considerable light on how he worked and on his relationship with those who helped him. Themes running through the letters include Spelman’s publications and the preparations for them, the Glossarium, the Concilia and the Anglo-Saxon Psalterium, the reading and transcription of Anglo-Saxon manuscripts, the preparation of an Anglo-Saxon grammar and dictionary and various scholarly enquiries.","PeriodicalId":44308,"journal":{"name":"Antiquaries Journal","volume":"102 1","pages":"370 - 388"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47808953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"UNDER THE IMPRESSION: MULTISPECTRAL IMAGING OF LORD FREDERICK CAMPBELL CHARTER XXI 5","authors":"Alison Hudson, Christina Duffy","doi":"10.1017/S0003581521000354","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S0003581521000354","url":null,"abstract":"Lord Frederick Campbell Charter xxi 5 is the only surviving English document that still has an authentic, legible, pre-Conquest seal attached to it. The text purports to be a writ of Edward the Confessor (1003x5–1066) granting a slew of rights to Christ Church Cathedral, Canterbury. We examined the writ using multispectral imaging to recover layers of erased text. Many scholars have noted that the text of the writ was altered on at least one occasion. Now, multispectral imaging confirms that there were multiple layers of erasures, even more than previously anticipated. The original writ may have been inscribed on reused parchment. This can be used as evidence for the conditions (and even the immense quantity) in which writs were produced during Edward’s reign. Alternatively – or additionally – the writ’s multiple alterations could suggest that it was rewritten repeatedly after the Conquest, during various phases of Canterbury’s post-Conquest property disputes. The results confirm Nicholas Brooks’ hypothesis that at one stage the text was altered from referring to the rights to the archbishop alone (in the singular), to instead refer to the whole community at Christ Church (in the plural). Taken together, these results reveal shifts in legal thinking in Canterbury between 1066 and 1100, while demonstrating the enduring authority of Edward the Confessor’s seal. These results also show the potential for using multispectral imaging to illuminate – literally – the history of manuscript production.","PeriodicalId":44308,"journal":{"name":"Antiquaries Journal","volume":"102 1","pages":"111 - 133"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45279616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 1857 they began to manufacture counterfeit antiquities. Their creations displayed many significant errors and anachronisms, and some archaeologists were immediately sceptical. Nevertheless, other leading experts were convinced that Billy and Charley’s supposed discoveries were authentic archaeological finds. The ensuing debate resulted in an inconclusive court case. Eventually a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London used subterfuge to expose the fraud. Even after this, Billy Smith and Charley Eaton continued producing forgeries for another decade. This paper explores how the forgeries were made, why they generated controversy, how the fraud was detected and how Billy Smith and Charley Eaton could produce their forgeries over such a long time-span.","PeriodicalId":44308,"journal":{"name":"Antiquaries Journal","volume":"102 1","pages":"447 - 469"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45312947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Those churches that have retained their screen now tend to use them as a reredos, or backdrop to the nave altar, which relegates the chancel to being a weekday chapel or simply unused space. In the High Middle Ages the object that was most visible to the laity was not the high altar but the great rood, flanked by St Mary and St John, above the chancel screen. Changing liturgical fashions over the subsequent centuries (initiated by the Reformation) and what the writer Aymer Vallance, in his English Church Screens (), called ‘the incontinent lech for vistas’, something alien to the medieval mind, have gradually rendered the chancel screen obsolete to modern liturgical requirements, although in the process something vital has been lost.
