Summary
The 28th Battle Conference on Anglo-Norman Studies took place between 28 July and 1 August 2005 at its customary venue, Pyke House. The opening reception and the Allen Brown Memorial Lecture were held at Battle Abbey through the kindness of the headmaster of Battle Abbey School, Roger Clark.
The papers published here are those delivered at the conference, with the exception of Howard Clarke, ‘Evesham J and Evesham L: two early twelfth-century manorial surveys’, which it is hoped to include in a future volume. David Roffe was not on the advertised programme, and it is good to be able to recognize here his offer to read a paper at less than 24 hours notice to fill an unexpected gap. Besides the papers, the conference heard an introduction to the Acta of Henry I database by Richard Sharpe and Hugh Doherty.
The outing, on Saturday 30 July, took in the Kentish churches of Patrixbourne, Coldred, and Postling and the little-known earthwork castle at Coldred. It was led, as so many memorable Battle outings have been, by Tim Tatton-Brown. Warmest thanks are also extended to the incumbents and churchwardens of the three churches, Mr Ian Macdonald of Coldred (owner of the earthworks), and the landlord and staff of the Unicorn at Bekesbourne for their parts in making the day so enjoyable.
The unpublishable parts of the Battle conference go a long way towards explaining its success, notably this year a display of medieval arms and armour by Ian Peirce and exhibits of new books by Boydell & Brewer and Oxford University Press.
