The Society of Antiquaries, 1707–18
The genesis of this paper lay in the 2007 Tercentenary celebrations of the Society of Antiquaries and the challenge of compiling a tour of the premises used by the Society for its meetings prior to the Society’s move into a permanent home at Somerset House in 1780. The first part of the paper deals with the competing claims of the Bear in the Strand and the Young Devil taverns as the location for the foundation meeting of the Society of Antiquari…

Factors identified include the role in Tudor politics of ‘King Arthur’ and of the owne…
Et in Arcadia? The Problems with Ruins
The value of ‘the Ruin’ as a stimulus to reflection on the past and the passage of time was well recognized in the eighteenth and into the nineteenth centuries. 1 An essential part of the organic, and therefore changing, ethos of the ruin was that it should be associated with whatever natural vegetation was appropriate and in a state of decay. This is summed up by the Revd William Gilpin's statement in 1786: ‘A Ruin is a sacred thing. Rooted for …
