Colloquia

'Defining the metropolitan Region: Town, countryside and environment in London & the south east, 1580-1914', 17-18 April 2009, at the University of Kent, Canterbury, organised by the Kent History School and the Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies. Speakers: Paul Warde (Cambridge and East Anglia), John Beckett (Institute of Historical Research and Nottingham), Vanessa Harding (Birkbeck), Andrew Hann (English Heritage), David Ormrod (Kent), Owen Lyne (Kent), Jim Gibson (Rochester Bridge Trust).
- "New research on rent movements and the property market in the long run. Since early 2007, the ESRC has supported new research at Kent into the movement of agricultural and urban rents from 1580 to 1914, which will help to answer these and other questions (Pathways to Modernisation: the separation of town and countryside in London and the South-East, 1580-1914). The project draws mainly on the extensive archives of the estates of the Rochester Bridge Trust. Housing and living conditions in the City of London have also attracted the attention of funded research teams in recent years, supported by the AHRC and the Wellcome Trust (People in Place. Families, households and housing in London, 1550-1720; and Housing Environments and Health). The colloquium will provide an opportunity to compare results, and we intend to create a workshop environment to help evaluate the strengths and limitations of our data and their interpretation"
