The Antiquary - Issue 11, June 2022 - printed copy. 28-page A5 magazine
In this summer issue I bring you three articles. Firstly I explore the extraordinary story of the development of the saintly cult of King Henry VI, whose graves, first at Chertsey and then at Windsor, became the focus of popular devotion. Then I explore with you a peculiar character that was common in late medieval European art and folklore, the Wodewose (which is pronounced ‘wood-wus’) - the wild man, and why such a figure was so popular. Lastly, I take you on a photographic tour of one of the most enchanting churches in all of England, Inglesham in Wiltshire, and explore why this beautiful building is so significant. I hope you enjoy the issue.
