medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Making the Church Holy: Building and Refurbishment Rhythms of
the Parish Church
9 July 2005
Oxford Brookes University
This one day workshop represents the start of a project
entitled 'Making the Church Holy: The Fabric of the
Sacraments, 800*1800'. This project
focuses on the evolution and definition of the parish church
as a sacred place in medieval and early modern Europe. Full
details can be found at
http://ah.brookes.ac.uk/conferences/making_church_holy/index.html
The first in a series of workshops considers the significance
of the construction and refurbishment of churches between 800
and 1800 in defining the parish church.
The papers to be presented at this workshop are as follows:
'Changing Spaces: The Development of Parish Churches before 1300'
Carol Davidson Cragoe (English Heritage)
'Patronage and Display in Venetian Parish Churches, c. 1350*1580'
Ian Holgate (Oxford Brookes)
'Negotiating Space and Time in the Medieval Parish Church'
Kate Giles (University of York)
'Exemplar Virtutis: Refurbishing Lutheran Parish Altars in Denmark and
Schleswig-Holstein in the later sixteenth century'
Margit Thofner (University of East Anglia)
'Baroque Church-Building: The Counter-Reformation and the Renewal of
Sacred Space'
Trevor Johnson (University of the West of England)
The intention is for this to be a workshop rather than a
one-day conference, with the papers generating discussion on
this theme and contributing to the development of the
project. Places for the workshop are therefore limited.
£15 for waged participants
£10 for students/unwaged
