Jocelin of Wells: Bishop, Builder, Courtier Boydell, 2010

Edited by Robert Dunning

Jocelin, bishop of Wells [d. 1242], is an iconic figure in his native city; but his career as courtier and statesman moved far beyond the west country. From a family network which had produced bishops over several generations, he played a major role in a developing diocese and mother church, and in the growth of towns, fairs and markets in early thirteenth-century Somerset. He had a crucial influence on the completion of what was to become Wells Cathedral, and on the Bishop's Palace beside it.
The essays in this volume look at Jocelin's life and career from a variety of perspectives, with a particular focus on his involvement in the building work to complete the Cathedral, as well as the erection of the earliest part of the Bishop's Palace. Architectural, archaeological and even botanical approaches are used to explain the curious physical nature of the Palace site, the significance of the work still standing there from Jocelin's time, and the possible sites of other contemporary work. A final chapter studies the design and purpose of Robert Burnell's additions to Jocelin's work.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture There's a book about Joscelyn of Wells (not the one recently cited) which may fit this. I think Boydell published it.

If I can find my copy over the weekend you'd be welcome to borrow it.

Oxford DNB article bibliographies could probably point you to relevant material bishop by bishop - especially St Hugh of Lincoln.

Regards

Jane

Dear All

I have committed myself to writing something about the relationship between 'my' bishop and his cathedral cities (my bluff was called when I said you couldn't really have a city without a bishop). I know about my particulars but am finding it difficult to find anything general written about (preferably late) medieval bishops and their cathedral cities or, indeed, much about other individual bishops. I am rather hampered by not being able to access the RHS online bibliography.

Does anyone have any bright ideas? I know of Rosser and Slater, The Church in the Medieval Town; Swanson, Church and Society and editions of episcopal registers. I hope to avoid Augustine!

Many thanks in anticipation.
