  • Acoustics, Audibility and Political Culture in the House of Commons, 1800–34

    Open AccessAglaia Foteinou, J P Cooper et al.ARTICLEParliamentary History2024

    How easy was it to hear, and be heard, in the historic house of commons? Located in the former St Stephen's Chapel in the Palace of Westminster, the pre‐1834 Commons had not been designed as a place of debate, though its refurbishment by Christopher Wren may have taken acoustics into account. This article focuses on the chamber as re‐ordered by James Wyatt in 1800–1 to accommodate 100 members from Ireland following the Acts of Union. Employing ac…

  • Picturing Parliament: The Great Seal of the Commonwealth and the House of Commons

    Open AccessJ P Cooper, John P D Cooper et al.ARTICLEThe Antiquaries Journal2021References: 22

    Presenting research conducted by the ‘St Stephen’s Chapel, Westminster’ project at the University of York, this article focuses on the Great Seal devised in 1649 and re-issued in 1651 to enable the Commonwealth to function following the execution of Charles i . As a familiar and ancient image of monarchy, the Great Seal posed an obvious challenge to the authority of the Rump Parliament. A radical new design, authorised by parliamentary committee …

  • The Elizabethan House of Commons and St Stephen's Chapel Westminster

    Open AccessJ P CooperARTICLEParliamentary History2019

    This essay explores the significance of the Elizabethan house of commons meeting in a converted royal chapel within the Palace of Westminster. In 1548 the dissolved collegiate chapel of St Stephen at Westminster was given over to the exclusive use of the Commons, providing MPs with a dedicated meeting space for the first time. Although a great deal has been written about Elizabethan parliaments, little attention has been paid to the physical spac…

  • Architecture and Politics in the Palace of Westminster, 1399 to the Present

    Open AccessJ P Cooper, Richard A GauntARTICLEParliamentary History2019

    This article explores the relationship between architecture and political culture in the Palace of Westminster from 1399 to the present day. Drawing on the research of the AHRC-funded St Stephen's Chapel and Listening to the Commons projects, it addresses four research themes: the architecture of the Commons and Lords chambers from the medieval period to the present; access to political space at Westminster, focusing in particular on the experien…

  • Henry VII’s New Men and the Making of Tudor England, by Steven Gunn

    Open AccessJ P Cooper, J P D CooperARTICLEThe English Historical Review2018

    The images accompanying Steven Gunn’s latest and impeccably researched study of early Tudor government have much to say about the men who served King Henry VII. The front cover features the Master of the Jewels Sir Henry Wyatt as captured by Holbein: sallow and watchful after decades in royal service, his calculatedly sober dress contrasting with the costly gold chain of office around his shoulders. On the back appears Pietro Torrigiani’s medalli…

  • War and Politics in the Elizabethan Counties, by Neil Younger

    Open AccessJ P Cooper, J P D CooperARTICLEThe English Historical Review2014

    As a Tudor innovation in government which has survived to this day, albeit in a largely ceremonial capacity, the lord lieutenancy is deserving of the sustained historical scrutiny which only a monograph can deliver. Lieutenants and their deputies were at the summit of the Elizabethan county hierarchy, personal representatives of the Queen and invested with the military power of the royal prerogative. Their ability to raise troops and taxation, wh…

  • A European Frontier Elite: The Nobility of the English Pale in Tudor Ireland, 1496–1566, by Gerald Power Dublin and the Pale in the Renaissance, c.1540–1660, ed. Michael Potterton and Thomas Herron

    Open AccessJ P Cooper, J P D CooperARTICLEThe English Historical Review2013

    As defined by the Drogheda Parliament in the 1490s, the English Pale referred to the four counties of eastern Ireland—Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Louth—which were reliably loyal to the English crown. Every ‘erthtyller & occupier’ was required to maintain a defensive ditch and bank, six feet high, to prevent the native Irish from penetrating this enclave of English civility. In the words of Edmund Campion, the Pale had ‘the fattest soyle’ and was b…

  • Lady Jane Grey: A Tudor Mystery, by Eric Ives

    J P Cooper, J P D CooperARTICLEThe English Historical Review2012

    The article on Lady Jane Grey in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography hints at a more interesting and even ‘disturbing’ young woman than the meek victim who features in popular memory. Jane maintained a steely composure in captivity that would have been remarkable in anyone facing execution for treason, let alone an innocent sixteen-year-old abandoned by her father and husband. Eric Ives’s penetrating study, published in 2009 and now avail…

  • The Queen's agent: Francis Walsingham at the Court of Elizabeth I

    J P Cooper, John CooperBOOKQueen's Agent2012

    Elizabeth I came to the throne at a time of insecurity and unrest. Rivals threatened her reign; England was a Protestant island, isolated in a sea of Catholic countries. Spain plotted an invasion, but Elizabeth's Secretary, Francis Walsingham, was prepared to do whatever it took to protect her. He ran a network of agents in England and Europe who provided him with information about invasions or assassination plots. He recruited likely young men a…

    J P Cooper, J P D CooperARTICLESixteenth Century Journal2002

    In the fifty years between 1530 and 1580, England moved from being one of the most lavishly Catholic countries in Europe to being a Protestant nation, a land of whitewashed churches and anti-papal preaching. What was the impact of this religious change in the countryside? And how did country people feel about the revolutionary upheavals that transformed their mental and material worlds under Henry VIII and his three children? In this book a refor…
