RESEARCH INTERESTS
At present, my research examines three different strands of history, local and global: the Chester Mystery Plays; witchcraft and magic in England and the theology of colonisation in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
My first monograph was more modestly focused on medieval London: [i] Constructing a Civic Community in Late Medieval London: the Common Profit, Charity and Commemoration [/i], published by Boydell in 2019. [i] The Urban Church in Late Medieval England: Essays in Honour of Clive Burgess [/i], co-edited with Christian Steer, was also published in 2019 by Shaun Tyas. I am also preparing, with Dr Steer, an edition of the churchwardens accounts of St Nicholas Shambles (Newgate) for the London Record Society. I have also published on the church in London, the macabre, the early printed book, monumental brasses and Catholic martyrdom in the sixteenth century. I have recently been involved in the Paul Mellon funded project 'Saints Shrines as Tangible Art: A Digital Barometer' in collaboration with the University of Lancaster.
