Chronicle of Abbot Ralph of Coggeshall
The Chronicle of Abbot Ralph of Coggeshall (Chronicon Anglicanum) is an indispensable medieval history that brings to life centuries of English and European affairs through the eyes of a learned Cistercian monk. Ralph of Coggeshall, abbot of the Abbey of Coggeshall in Essex in the early 13th century, continued and expanded his community’s chronicle, documenting events from the Norman Conquest of 1066 into the tumultuous reign of King Henry III. Blending eyewitness testimony, careful compilation, and the monastic commitment to record-keeping, this chronicle offers a rare narrative of political intrigue, royal power struggles, and social upheaval in England and beyond. Ralph’s work captures the reigns of pivotal figures such as Richard I and King John, providing invaluable insights into their characters, decisions, and the forces that shaped medieval rule. More than a simple annal, Chronicon Anglicanum conveys the texture of medieval life and governance, making it a rich source for scholars and readers fascinated by English history, monastic authorship, and the shaping of the medieval world.

Literary and Debating Society. 4th December – Lecture by Mr Bowler. On the above date the School received a most excellent and instructive lecture on the "Geographical and historical Causes of the Present War." Mr Bowler made a rather difficult subject into one full of absorbing interest and gave everyone a very pleasant evening. He outlined the circumstances that plunged Europe into this titanic struggle in a way which showed that he had made a deep and scientific study of the whole affair. He concluded his lecture by a splendid description of Russia peasant life which being illustrated by lantern slides proved an even greater success, as very few knew anything of the social life of our great ally.
