The St. Thomas Way and the medieval March of Wales: exploring place, heritage, pilgrimage

Clarke, Catherine A. M. (ed.), The St. Thomas Way and the medieval March of Wales: exploring place, heritage, pilgrimage, Places and Spaces, Medieval to Modern, Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press, ARC Humanities Press, 2020.  

abstract:

The St. Thomas Way is a new heritage route from Swansea to Hereford that invites visitors to step into the rich and complex history of the medieval March of Wales. This volume brings together studies and reflections by those involved in the project, explores the St. Thomas Way as a visitor experience, and offers new insights into commemoration, "sense of place," and pilgrimage today. This book is for readers interested in medieval cults of the saints and pilgrimage traditions, especially those of St. Thomas of Hereford; medieval and modern day pilgrimage; those with a professional interest in heritage, tourism, and regional development; and scholars interested in the process of developing research into public-facing projects and in the application of digital methods and tools in heritage contexts.

Place, identity and performance: spatial practices and social proxies in medieval Swansea

Clarke, Catherine A. M., “Place, identity and performance: spatial practices and social proxies in medieval Swansea”, Journal of Medieval History 41:3 (2015): 256–272.  

abstract:

The testimonies of the nine witnesses to the hanging of William Cragh in Swansea in 1290 offer a rare opportunity to investigate the social and spatial practices of figures from diverse ethnic and social backgrounds moving within the same urban environment. This paper maps the itineraries of the witnesses within the landscape of medieval Swansea and its environs, exploring how they negotiate various spaces, boundaries and thresholds within and around the town, as well as how their spatial practices and reported actions shape social identity, status and power. In particular the paper examines the ways in which certain individuals make use of ‘proxies’ to circumvent spatial constraints and regulation and to extend their sphere of action, raising implications for our understanding of medieval selfhood and agency. The paper advances new insights into the ways in which medieval identities and the medieval town were mutually constitutive, contingent and subject to continual re-making.
