Miscellany
Our Miscellany this year covers a wide range of topics.
Our Miscellany this year, ranges across the centuries. From
the thirteenth century Michael Robson looks at William de Calverley
(c.1275-1319); a notable Franciscan Friar.
Whilst still retaining a medieval theme John Dixon reveals some
details about surprising survivors of the Black Death in Leeds.
In contrast, Michael Collinson examines love and marriage in Elizabethan
Headingley.
The typhus epidemic of 1847 is the theme of two articles. Helen
Kennally examines the impact on the town in general and Gillian
Figures investigates the life of the Anglican curate, William Monck,
who died whilst ministering to his flock during the crisis.
Another cleric, the Revd Robert Aitken, a Catholic Evangelical,
considered by Roy Yates, completes our selection.
We have continued to include book reviews and in addition have added
a comprehensive general bibliography of books and articles on the
city’s history.
