Book First Edition
Paperback. Condition: Fine. First Edition. A book which examines the relationship between the Dukes of Argyll, of Inveraray Castle, and the people living on the small Scottish island of Tiree. Much of it features the Highland Clearances, but events on an island rather than the hills. In the summer of 1886 hundreds of Tiree?s islanders banded together to defy the Eighth Duke of Argyll, whose forbidding portrait with its implacable gaze is the last colour plate in the book. A sizeable police force was sent to the island, and repelled back to the mainland. ?There is war in Tiree? reported The Times. The eyes of the UK were suddenly focused on this remote island. The government then sent in the army and the ring-leaders were arrested and imprisoned. Soon afterwards, a member of the House of Commons used parliamentary privilege to call the Duke ?a thief and a robber by law ? a shameless thief and a shameless robber?. The book is a concise history of one island during this, arguably the most dramatic period in Scottish history. It is a story of change and controversy. At its core are subjects of ducal policy, population growth, destitution and emigration, and then government intervention and land settlement. It does not seek to romanticise the islanders? plight or their stand, nor does it cast the dukes as villains. Instead it reflects on the islanders? natural desire to better their lives and the dukes? attempts to modernise this part of their estates. Much of Tiree?s history is characterised by the resulting tension. The cover features a large-scale plan of the island made in 1768-9, reproduced in full amongst the colour plates and the book cites many manuscript sources from the Inveraray archives.

Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. A fine new copy. Offers a fundamental shift in how we view the ability of the Anglo-Saxons to undertake engineering works to change their physical environment. It is a scholarly reassessment of the idea that some of the hydraulic engineering in the fens of Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire is far earlier than the traditional view that it was largely done in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It argues that the five fenland Benedictine abbeys of Crowland, Ely, Peterborough, Ramsey and Thorney planned and executed drainage works to provide agricultural land and transport networks for the movement of goods, especially Barnack building stone, in the tenth century. The work includes a bibliography and index, many maps and diagrams and 24 plates in colour. 160pp, colour plates, index.

Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. A fine, new copy. When Dorothy May died in 2003, her neighbours knew that she possessed ?something of great value? in her bureau. Jeweller Michael Bassett was expecting gemstones, but instead he found a stack of some 250 letters and a ?guest book?. Between 1938 and 1946, Dorothy, as a young music-teacher, left Lancashire, married Paul May ? stage-manager of the State Theatre in Freiburg ? and set up home there at the height of the Third Reich. Paul was conscripted into the Wehrmacht in 1942, and by New Year he was at Stalingrad . and soon lost to sight. Dorothy?s letters to her husband, written in English, recording her daily round, soon started to arrive back marked ?return to Sender?. To maintain her spirits, she continued to write to him, but she did not post the letters, and thus they became a diary of an isolated Englishwoman in a hostile city, beneath her compatriot?s bombs, as she cautiously negotiated relationships with fellow citizens and the state. She continued to write and when she departed for England in late 1946 for medical treatment, she left the letters in their bomb-damaged flat, for Paul to read on his hoped-for return from Russia. Some months later she returned to collect them, unread by Paul, and they were locked away ? awaiting rediscovery only after her death. 197 of the letters have been edited with editorial comments. Foreword by Sir Max Hastings and a German foreword by Dietrich Elchlepp. 20 photographs and maps and an index.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. First Edition. In this, the first biography of William Sancroft since 1821, the author provides a succinct and readable account of a remarkable life (1617-93), full of drama and crisis, set within the context of a crucial period in the development of the English religious tradition. The book is provided with twenty colour plates and the text includes many extensive quotations from the lively pen of Sancroft himself. He endured the loss of a Cambridge fellowship in the Commonwealth, but later became Master of his former college, Emmanuel. He witnessed the destruction of his cathedral in the Great Fire of London in 1666, when he was Dean of St Paul?s, but he then helped Sir Christopher Wren to rebuild it. He was incarcerated in the Tower of London by James II in 1688, but still felt unable to crown his successors, William III and Mary II. Finally, having contributed greatly to the character of the Church of England, he ended his life in schism from it, returning to his place of birth, Ufford Hall near Fressingfield in Suffolk, but feeling utterly out of sorts with his times. John Tiller is an Oxford History graduate who has served the Church of England as a parish priest, a theological lecturer, a senior member of Church House, Westminster, a cathedral canon, and latterly as an archdeacon. He has edited a substantial history of Hereford Cathedral.

Hardback. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. A fine new copy. This book is published in association with Wakefield Historical Publications. Peter Brears, historic house consultant and food historian, has had a life-long interest in the ancient buildings of Wakefield and its immediate area: he recorded some in the 1960s and ?70s as they were being demolished. This handsome full colour book, with over 61 illustrations, provides detailed reconstructions of buildings from the Tudor and Stuart period, when Wakefield was a major market town and cloth industry centre. The coloured drawings are meticulously crafted and are accompanied with a scholarly text, introduction, notes, appendix and index. The chapters cover the secular buildings (mostly shops and inns), the churches, public buildings, and gentry halls around Wakefield. Possibly one of the most significant books published on Wakefield since J.W Walker FSA in the 19930s with interest stretching far beyond the town, shedding light on vernacular buildings and regional towns of the period.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. A fine new copy. Lincoln cathedral is undoubtedly one of the greatest buildings of medieval Europe. Whether viewed from close up, in all its grandeur of size and decorative beauty, or glimpsed from a distance set commandingly upon its hill, it demands attention. It also raises questions in the attentive observer: why was such a large and beautiful structure built and why in this place? This book draws on previous scholarship and new research, to explain how the cathedral and its contents point towards Heaven. The many full-colour illustrations include details never previously published.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Edward S. Prior and Arthur Gardner published An Account of Medieval Figure Sculpture in England with Cambridge University Press in 1912. This became the foundational book for the study of medieval figure-sculpture in England (and Wales). The authors? presuppositions about the materials they discuss, their inclusions and omissions, their focus on chronological sequencing, and analytical organisation, as well as their strongly nationalistic tone, all receive thorough scrutiny for the first time in this new study, based on a Cambridge conference celebrating the centenary of the Account. Prior and Gardner?s work is contextualised within the history of scholarship devoted to medieval sculpture in France, Germany, Hungary and Ireland, revealing how European nationalism has affected (and continues to affect) both the study and the reception of the medieval past. Many of Prior and Gardner?s contemporaries in Britain and Ireland also receive attention and the networks of scholars and contacts who contributed to their book are revealed. Medieval patronage and funerary sculpture, photographic recording and scientific conservation are also discussed in this striking new assessment of the context, accomplishment and legacy of Prior and Gardner?s great Account. 256pp.

Paperback. Condition: Fine. First Edition. Here are the fifteen scholarly essays by the medieval historian Professor Hugh Lawrence, who was well-known for his great books 'Medieval Monasticism' and 'The Friars', but his important and meticulous essays have never been collected before. The volume also contains an appreciation of his contribution to medieval studies by Dr Michael Robson (a substantial essay in its own right), a bibliography of his writings and an index, and an edition of Lawrence's war diary (he was a major in the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment during the Burma campaigns of April 1945). Some essays focus on figures such as St Edmund of Abingdon, the learned friar Adam Marsh, the Cistercian scholar Stephen of Lexington and St Richard, bishop of Chichester. Other essays chart the growing significance of the University of Oxford and its relations with the friars and religious orders. The final essay surveys the development of the parish in the life of the thirteenth-century church. A fine new copy. The cover shows the French abbey of Fleury because this is where Lawrence went to recover from his wartime experiences, exploring his Catholic faith, and where he made the decision to become a medieval historian. 340pp.

The wall paintings of Pickering church (North Yorkshire) are one of England?s hidden artistic treasures, giving visitors and scholars alike a powerful experience of what it was like to step through the door of a late medieval painted church. In this stunningly-illustrated book, Kate Giles makes an important contribution to the study of church art and architecture, arguing that the discovery, restoration and conservation of these paintings in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries must be located within the context of contemporary religious controversies, architectural and antiquarian debates and emerging conservation philosophies. Kate Giles is a Senior Lecturer in historic buildings in the Department of Archaeology at the University of York and Co-Director of the University?s Centre for the Study of Christianity and Culture. 208pp.
