Centres and Edges
England contained hundreds of schools in and after the twelfth century. They did not fall under the jurisdiction of the Crown, or that of the Church to more than a limited extent. Neither authority regulated them through legislation or regular inspection. Yet their functioning reveals a remarkable degree of cohesion and similarity. How schools were organized and taught was much the same, wherever the place. Centre and edges kept in touch. The art…

Learning Languages in Early Modern England, by John Gallagher
Hereford Cathedral School
School histories are not easy books to produce. Some are triggered by centenaries, causing someone to write who is unused to historical methods and sources. Many contrive to depict a little world beyond which nothing else exists, because that it is what governors, former pupils and parents expect. Fortunately, none of these limitations applies to Howard Tomlinson’s history of Hereford Cathedral School. He is not only its former headmaster but a t…
Elementary and Grammar Education in Late Medieval France
Books in English on the history of education in continental Europe are not common, so we should welcome Sarah Lynch’s study of schools in one of France’s major cities. After a useful introduction in which she surveys the historiography of medieval school education in England, France, Germany and Italy, her book falls into three parts. The first considers the organisation of schooling in Lyon and the various authorities (chiefly the cathedral, col…
Chaucer and the Child
From Childhood to Chivalry
Originally published in 1984, this is a study of the kings and the aristocracy who ruled England between the Conquest and the Reformation. Not, as usual, about their adult lives, but how they became the people they were through childhood and education. The first such study of its kind, it follows noble boys and girls from birth through the care of their nurses, masters and mistresses, until they left home for further training in noble households,…
Aysha Pollnitz. Princely Education in Early Modern Britain
Books on the early history of education in Britain do not appear very often, which is a good reason to welcome Princely Education in Early Modern Britain. Its own qualities are another. Aysha Pollnitz has studied nine princes and five princesses of England and Scotland who were intended to rule or came to rule a kingdom, from Henry VI in 1422 to Charles I about two centuries later. It does not include younger children such as the daughters of Hen…

Medieval Childhood
Childhood in Medieval England was a neglected subject until about forty years ago and still rarely figures in studies of political, religious, economic, or social history. Yet children formed a large part not only of the population but of its households, work places and religious institutions, with representation in the surviving evidence. The author re flects on the challenges faced by historians of the subject in the early twenty- first century…

Schools and school-books
Schools open to the public may also have originated in Saxon times. In the medieval period-English universities, students often needed remedial instruction in elementary Latin grammar, while advanced Latin grammar formed part of the undergraduate course. Once pupils had mastered basic Latin, they continued their studies with texts in Latin itself. The difficult task of compiling an English dictionary with Latin equivalents was accomplished by a D…
The Defence of an Alien Priory
Alien priories, the small dependencies of foreign religious houses established in the years following the Norman Conquest, were partly thank-offerings for military success and partly civilising centres and reminders of home for England's new rulers. Their foundation in the newly-conquered lands mirrored the success of the Anglo-Normans in colonising the British Isles, since later examples were planted in southern Scotland and in Ireland too. In E…
Church and Chaple in Medieval England
In Emlyn Williams's play, The Corn is Green (1938), an Englishwoman arriving in Wales is asked an important question: ‘Are you Church or Chapel?’ Since the seventeenth century, when non-Anglican places of worship made their appearance, this question has indeed been important, sometimes momentous. ‘Church’ has had one kind of resonance in religion, politics and society; ‘chapel’ has had another. Even in unreligious households, people may still opt…

Children and the Church in Medieval England
At the beginning of Langland's poem Piers Plowman , the narrator, having glimpsed the field of folk and the two castles, meets a lady with a beautiful face, clothed in linen. When he fails to recognise her, she gently chides him. ‘I am Holy Church; you ought to know me. I received you at the first and taught you faith. You brought me pledges to fulfil my bidding and to love me loyally while your life lasts.’ In these few words, Langland affirms t…

A Medieval Almshouse for the Clergy
Walter Stapledon, bishop of Exeter 1308-26, treasurer of England and victim of the downfall of Edward 11, was a notable benefactor of the Church. As well as giving generously to the rebuilding of Exeter Cathedral (where he was buried in a splendid tomb beside the high altar), he founded or planned three institutions for the clergy of his diocese: a school foundation for a tutor and twelve pupils in the hospital of St John at Exeter; a college for…

Education and Learning at a Medieval English Cathedral
During the last hundred years our knowledge of the educational institutions of medieval England has steadily increased, both of schools and universities. We know a good deal about what they taught, how they were organised and where they were sited. The next stage is to identify their relationship with the society which they existed to serve. Whom did they train, to what standards and for what ends? These questions pose problems. They cannot be an…

An Early- Tudor Oxford Schoolbook
One of the most attractive genres of educational literature consists of the sets of Latin and English prose passages written by English schoolmasters during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries to exercise their pupils in Latin. Some of the exercises were in Latin alone, intended as examples or models of Latin grammar and syntax. Others, which contemporaries called "vulgars" (Latin vulgaria), comprised passages in English for the pupils to trans…
