OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
John Salmon’s Register and the Diocese of Norwich in the Early Fourteenth Century
The medieval diocese of Norwich was densely populated – and it was crowded with churches as well as being home to a number of important religious houses. The earliest bishop’s register to survive is that of John Salmon, bishop of Norwich from 1299-1325. The document has eluded publication so far – perhaps because it is ‘only’ a record of institutions. Yet, such institutions were at the heart of the work of the medieval bishop, and this detailed record is full of interest. It represents an interweaving of the rights and responsibilities of all those involved in the appointment of clergy in the period, and reveals the interplay between influence and law. This paper will explore the potential of the record to enhance our understanding of the distribution of patronage and the character of the clergy in medieval East Anglia – and of the bishop himself.
