An Introduction to the Archaeology of the Glass Industry
This article presents an overview of the archaeology of the glass industry in Britain from the Roman period to the 20th century. It is based upon work undertaken in 1992–3 for the English Heritage Monuments Protection Programme (MPP) and revised later in that decade, with additions to take account of the developer-funded archaeological work undertaken in recent years. It concentrates on the development of technology in the charcoal- and coal-fire…
Secular psychiatry and the self
We assume that western mental health practice is a secular enterprise without usually bothering to define the term. This may turn out to be not just about institutional identities and procedures that safeguard diversity but about ways in which mental health practice implicitly employs and is informed by secularised concepts of the self seen as historically conditioned but with theological and moral sources. This article explores the implications …
English Woodlands and the Supply of Fuel for Industry
The perception of post-medieval English woodlands as a dwindling resource, felled to fuel industries whose consumption of charcoal and wood was unsustainable, was widely held in the middle of the 20th century. However, research into woodland and industrial management has shown that for many estates coppicing practices made woods a renewable resource, and that the development of industrial uses of mineral fuel was not only to combat increasing woo…

The Archaeology of the Coal-Fuelled Glass Industry in England
The English glass industry adopted coal as a fuel at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the consequent reduction in costs enabling sales and production to increase. From a minor forest industry, glass manufacture became an important part of the coalfield economy, with innovative furnace structures forming striking features in the eighteenth-century urban landscape. Recent archaeological investigation has shown that glass-works have left si…

The Blast Furnace at Rockley, South Yorkshire
At Rockley, Yorkshire (SE338021) there survives the stone stack of a blast furnace which archive sources suggest was built in about 1700 and was used with charcoal until at least 1741. Antiquarian suggestions of a later period of operation using coke have received archaeological support in excavations carried out between 1978 and 1982. These established the layout of the blowing and casting houses, as well as the position of a head race, and of a…
The Wealden Glass Industry Re-visited
There has been little research into the glass industry of the Weald in the past thirty years. Over the period, changes in land-use have obscured furnace-sites and dispersed residues. Few new sites have been found since Kenyon's work ended in the 1960s, and additions to the documentary record have been limited to points of detail. Since 1991, all previously recorded sites have been visited and their visibility and condition assessed; finds and rec…

Utilitarianism, Rights and Equality
Bentham's dictum, ‘everybody to count for one, nobody for more than one’, is frequently noted but seldom discussed by commentators. Perhaps it is not thought contentious or exciting because interpreted as merely reminding the utilitarian legislator to make certain that each person's interests are included, that no one is missed, in working the felicific calculus. Since no interests are secure against the maximizing directive of the utility princi…

Sir William Clavell's Glasshouse at Kimmeridge, Dorset
A furnace built in 1618 by Abraham Bigo and Sir William Clavell for the manufacture of window glass was excavated at Kimmeridge, Purbeck, Dorset (SY 909788) in 1980–81. Local oil-shale was used as a fuel in the furnace, whose central fire was fed with air by means of two passages below ground level, as found at other seventeenth-century furnaces and indicated in contemporary sources. The above-ground structure comprised sieges and wings whose pla…
The Iron Industry of the Weald
This revised and expanded second edition (the first appeared in 1985) provides a definitive regional study of the charcoal iron industry, as well as a major addition on Wealden history generally. The new edition reprints the whole of the original text (and all the illustrations), covering the geology of the Weald (by Bernard Worssam); prehistoric, Roman, and Medieval ironmaking; the rise and fall of the charcoal blast furnace in the Weald; and th…

Post-medieval glass-making in Brabant
The surviving half of a winged glass furnace was excavated at Savenel, south of Louvain (Belgium). Coins, glass and pottery suggested operation early in the 17th century, and archives confirm the presence in the locality of the Colnets, a family of glass makers at that time. The furnace is paralleled by excavated examples in England
A gun-casting furnace at Scarlets, Cowden, Kent
A timber-lined casting pit was installed between 1590 and 1664 at the blast furnace at Scarlets, Cowden, Kent. The methods of construction are similar to those used at Maynards Gate and Pippingford, Sussex. The adjacent floor is a feature paralleled at Pippingford and at Rockley, Yorkshire. The furnace has been thoroughly robbed of its stone, but its position and orientation can be satisfactorily established; evidence was found for refurbishing a…

Cannon-Manufacture at Pippingford, Sussex
Two blast furnaces produced iron at Pippingford Park, Sussex (TQ/4503l6) in the early 18th century. At the first to be built (the west furnace) guns were cast; this was excavated in 1974, although its surroundings remain to be explored. A boring mill was sited close to the east furnace, the wheels of the boring carriage being in situ on their tracks. The east furnace was construded during the life of the west site, and the surviving casting beds …

Sixteenth-Century Glass-Making in Yorkshire
Fieldwork and excavation between 1967 and 1971 disclosed the sites of two glass furnaces in valleys running southwards from the North Yorkshire Moors. At Hutton Common (SE 706883) a vessel-producing furnace was excavated, revealing three main phases of operation, the last of which had a magnetic date late in the 16th century. There was also fragmentary evidence for an auxiliary furnace, perhaps used for annealing. In the Rosedale valley (SE/74593…

A Sixteenth-Century Wealden Blast Furnace
The excavation recovered evidence for two periods of iron smelting; there were substantial surviving structures from a blast furnace thought from documentary sources to have produced pig-iron from 1542 until at least 1563 and, superimposed, indications of a later furnace built with major changes in layout at some time after 1563 but abandoned well before 1611. It was possible to compare, in particular, the application of water-power in the two pe…
The Performance of the Glass Industry in Sixteenth-Century England
MHE attention given to the pattern of rising prices of foodstuffis in sixteenthcentury England has scarcely been matched by inquiry into those of manufactured goods. It is hardly surprising that this should be so, for the employment of a composite sample of goods, available and useful in the case of agricultural prices, has limitations when applied to industrial products. Industrial prices are less simple to correlate with the broader changes in …
Glassmaking in Bagot’s Park, Staffordshire, in the 16th Century
Out of 15 glass-making sites found in Bagot’s Park during land reclamation, one, Site 4, was left for examination. Two furnaces were excavated; the larger was for the melting of glass in six crucibles, and was typical of late medieval English practice, being built of brick and stone with a clay dome; it was the first to be excavated with clear evidence of an all-over timber and tile roof. The second, built partly of brick, was for annealing. The …
The Management of a Sixteenth-Century Ironworks
The change-over from the use of the bloomery to the blast furnace2 in the making of iron in Sussex in the first half of the sixteenth century brought about notable increases in the scale of production and the requirements for capital equipment 3 and raw materials.4 Whereas a late medieval bloomery had usually produced 20 to 30 tons of iron in a year from a simple hearth, it would not be uncommon for a sixteenth-century blast furnace to have an an…

Excavations at Rockley Smithies, a water-powered bloomery of the 16th and 17th Centuries
Between about 1500 and 1640 iron was smelted by the direct, bloomery, process on the lands of the Rockley family at (N.G.R.) SE/340023, to the south-west of Barnsley, Yorkshire, using charcoal and ore from the well-wooded outcrops of the Tankersley ironstone, adjacent to the site. Evidence for operation early in the 16th century was limited to accumulations of hearth-cinder and of debris from ore-roasting, minor structures and traces of a dam. Ab…
