Abstract:

The Anglo-Norman French indenture discussed in this paper is apparently the first medieval English building contract to be discovered since L F Salzman published almost all the known examples of this kind of text in the 1967 second edition of Building in England Down to 1540: a documentary history. A short commentary sketches the significance of the document for architectural history.

Abstract:

After the devastating fire of 1184, the Lady Chapel of Glastonbury Abbey was constructed on the site of the Old Church (Vetusta Ecclesia), the wattle church traditionally associated with Joseph of Arimathea. The lavish decoration of the chapel is frequently mentioned in the literature. In many cases authors emphasize the old-fashioned, Romanesque character of much of the ornament in contrast to the seemingly more progressive contemporary early Gothic mouldings of nearby Wells Cathedral. Nevertheless, it is generally recognized that the designer of Glastonbury Lady Chapel knew of the latest developments in French Gothic architecture as witnessed in his use of crocket capitals and sharply pointed arches in the vault. This juxtaposition of Romanesque and Gothic motifs has led to the categorization of the Lady Chapel as Transitional. Convenient as such a label may be as a term of reference in charting a purely typological evolution, it does little for our understanding of the use of some distinctly different elements in contemporary structures located in the same region. Is it the case that the patron and/or master mason of Glastonbury Lady Chapel are simply more conservative than at Wells Cathedral? Could Glastonbury Lady Chapel be consciously archaizing in an effort to emphasize the antiquity of the site? Should we perhaps think in terms of a traditional Benedictine monastic style at Glastonbury as opposed to an innovative style for the secular canons of Wells? Or is the rich decoration at Glastonbury Lady Chapel to be explained in a more general sense as an imitation of the art of church treasures? To address these questions the first part of this essay will examine the stylistic sources of the Lady Chapel. The meaning of the style of the Lady Chapel in the context of the beginnings of Gothic architecture in Britain will be discussed. Attention will then be turned to the sculpture of the Lady Chapel (Thurlby 1976a).

Abstract:

The earliest identified surviving manuscripts from Glastonbury Abbey date from the ninth and tenth centuries, but there are reliable post-Conquest traditions claiming that valuable books were found at the monastery as early as the reign of Ine, king of the West Saxons (688–726). By the tenth century at the latest there are reports of an ‘Irish school’ at Glastonbury, famous for its learning and books, and St Dunstan's earliest biographer, the anonymous. B., relates that Dunstan himself studied with the Irish at Glastonbury. During Dunstan's abbacy (940–56) – that is, at the period when most historians would place the beginnings of the English tenth-century reform movement – there was a general revival at Glastonbury which included a concerted policy of book acquisition and the establishment of a productive scriptorium. Not surprisingly, Dunstan's abbacy was viewed by the community ever afterwards as one of the most glorious periods in the early history of the monastery, especially since the later Anglo-Saxon abbots showed a marked falling off in devotion and loyalty to the intellectual inheritance of their monastery. Æthelweard and Æthelnoth, the last two Anglo-Saxon abbots, were especially reprehensible, and confiscated lands and ornaments for the benefit of their own kin. Nor did the situation improve immediately after the Conquest: the first Norman abbot, Thurstan, actually had to call in soldiers to quell his unruly monks. In spite of these disruptions, a fine collection of pre-Conquest books seems to have survived more or less intact into the twelfth century; when the seasoned traveller and connoisseur of books, William of Malmesbury, saw the collection in the late 1120s he was greatly impressed: ‘tanta librorum pulchritudo et antiquitas exuberat’.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the complex significance of Glastonbury Abbey, Somerset, and puts forward a new interpretation strategy for the site. It sits alongside the Glastonbury Abbey Archaeological Excavation Archive Project, which is reinterpreting the unpublished records 0137 seasons of fieldwork at the site (Gilchrist and Green to be published 2013). In this thesis I explore the ways in which the site's intangible cultural heritage has influenced the interpretation of archaeological data. Since the medieval period Glastonbury Abbey has been the focal point for a complex nexus of myths e.g. it is famed as the burial place of King Arthur and the site of the first church in England, built by Joseph of Arimathea. The revival of these myths in the late 19th century by the 'Avalonians' reignited spiritual interest in the site and the town. Glastonbury has continued to 'call' people who connect to its spiritual energy, and today it is a haven of alternative culture and spirituality. , This research explores the potential for the wider application of'multi-vocal' archaeological techniques used at contested prehistoric ites such as c;atalh6yuk and Stonehenge (Hodder 2000; Bender 1998). It represents an example of ' hybrid fieldwork', using ethnographic and heritage techniques to examine the social impact of archaeological research (Meske11201 0). This kind of research has largely been championed outside of the UK, and is rarely applied to medieval and/or Christian sites. Using ethnographic interviews, this thesis examines the contemporary significance of the site, and explores the ethical challenges that this presents for archaeologists and heritage professionals. It concludes by interrogating the academic and public representations of medieval monasteries and asks how we might innervate practice whilst respecting the views of spiritual stakeholders.

Abstract:

Research for this thesis draws on evidence from manorial surveys of 1189, 1239, 1260, 1317 and 1325 and all extant court and account (compotus) rolls pertaining to the manors of Shapwick with Moorlinch, Ashcott, Walton, Street and Greinton in the period 1258 to 1352. The contiguity of this manorial bloc which was subject to common lordship enables a close study of differences of custom and practice, and demographic experience, within a spatially limited compass. Following a brief account of the sources and early history of the manors, the distinctive topography of the Polden vills as illuminated by 13th- and 14th-century descriptions of the demesnes is examined. The operation of the classic two-field system of open-field farming and how this was subject to change in a process of demesne rejuvenation fed by land reclamation is then described. These introductory chapters provide the background for the principal themes of the thesis relating to Polden demography, peasant standards of living, and stratification of wealth in the first half of the fourteenth century. In what it is hoped will prove to be an important contribution to the ongoing debate about the nature of the 'crisis' of the early part of the century comparisons are made with other areas of lordship, most notably manor of Taunton the retailed demographic experience of which, until recently, has been so influential in forming perceptions of the period. The development of tenurial structure, characterised by 13th-century growth in the size of customary holdings and, notwithstanding the growth of cottar and smallholding classes, the absence of fragmentation, is described in Chapter 3 which concludes with an account of the unique nature of Glastonbury's manor court records as they pertain to the resident landless men (garciones). Chapter 4 utilises garcio and tenant data in an examination of demographic aspects including population trends, household size, acres per head, and mortality before and during the Black Death.

Abstract:

Heritage, the “present-centered” use of the past (Ashworth 2007) influences the identities of contemporary citizens (Palmer 2005, Sommer 2009). Grasping the ways in which the production and consumption of heritage takes place is becoming increasingly relevant in a post-Brexit Britain, where the national identity is constantly up for debate. This research asks: what role does heritage tourism play in (re)producing hegemonic national narratives in Glastonbury and Tintagel? And subsequently, what do these narratives say about broader conceptualizations of English identity? Arthurian legend permeates the historical narrative in both locations. According to the legend, King Arthur was conceived and born in Tintagel, and ultimately buried in Glastonbury. Both Glastonbury and Tintagel are located in the southwest region of England and are home to significant national heritage sites. In Glastonbury, heritage sites include Glastonbury Abbey, Glastonbury Tor and the Chalice Well Gardens. In Tintagel, heritage sites include Tintagel Castle, King Arthur’s Great Halls, St. Nectan’s Glen and the Arthurian Centre. Methods for this ethnographic comparative study include classic participant observation, semi-structured interviews, ethnographic photography and archival research. The focus here is on the producers of heritage (heritage management employees, local shop owners and community members) rather than the consumers (tourists and travelers). By using a holistic political economy approach, this research reveals how heritage is both contested and commodified in both Glastonbury and Tintagel. Rather than understanding “authorized heritage discourses” (Smith 2006) as simply the result of hegemonic forces imparted by heritage management organizations, this research reveals the nuances created by the commodification of heritage in both Glastonbury and Tintagel, where tourism plays a significant role in the local economy.
