Peter Lake, Ronald Hutton and the Ilford connection

Image
I first met Peter Lake, who is now at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, in about 1980 when he and I were both working in the Public Record Office in Chancery Lane in London. He was from Ilford, which was in Essex until 1974, before going on to study as an undergraduate and postgraduate in Cambridge. Much more recently, I learnt that Ronald Hutton, now at the University of Bristol, had also lived in Ilford before becoming an undergraduate in Cambridge and a postgraduate in Oxford. Peter Lake had been a pupil at Ilford County High School and Ronald Hutton also went there, a remarkable achievement for that school to have educated two such notable early modern historians so closely together in time.                                                                     Peter Lake Ronald Hutton

Historians will examine different aspects of the trial, the people involved, and the impact both on them and society. The Association provides an opportunity to hear about the most recent research in the field and provides a forum for the academic and non-academic worlds to intersect. The programme comprises five talks, two in the morning session which focusses on the immediate legacy of 1648, and three in the afternoon which look at the afterlife of the regicide. The Remonstrance of the Army: A Blueprint for Regicide?   Professor Ted Vallance The army’s Remonstrance of November 1648, usually thought to be authored by Cromwell’s son-in-law, Commissary-General Henry Ireton, has divi
