Abstract: On 4 February 1853 in Lower Burma, present day south-west Myanmar, a local chief led a group of men through thick jungle to take on the British army. The chief’s name was Nga Myat Toon and the men following him were peasants from the Ayeyarwady region near the town of Danubyu. Like their leader, these men lived in staunch opposition to the British presence in the area. Scholars have shown that armed groups of rebels such as Myat Toon’s did not exist prior to the First Anglo-Burmese War, which took place between 1824 and 1826. This incredibly brutal and, especially for the British, expensive war, mobilized rural communities in Burma to rise up and resist the seizure of more of their homeland.11

Abstract: In our introduction, we establish the original conference context of the 15 following position papers, emphasizing that the papers represent a conversation between participants, each of whom had been allocated a single monument from St Paul’s Cathedral in the period between c. 1796 and 1913, to think about the memorial’s visual and material richness and complexity, as well as its immediate and wider cathedral location, and broader discursive contexts. We map out the historiographical contexts of the papers, within the contexts of sculpture studies, studies of church monuments, interdisciplinary studies of the nineteenth century, and histories of Victorian Christianity – and especially Anglicanism – as it intersects with other world religions, and seeks to evangelize both at home and abroad.

Abstract: This article considers John Bacon’s marble monument to one of eighteenth-century British colonialism’s most important protagonists, William Jones (1746–1794). A prodigious scholar of Indian languages, religions, and laws, as well as a Supreme Court judge in Bengal, Jones epitomized early orientalism, promoting the study of Indian cultures as a means of facilitating the East India Company’s ‘governmental’ regulation of colonial subjects in its own interests. However, by the time this monument was erected, that vision of British India was becoming a thing of the past, gradually replaced by a more self-consciously imperializing, Anglicizing approach. Reading the monument both with and against the grain, this article argues that the tensions inherent in the orientalist attitude towards India are registered within the monument itself, especially in the relationship between its statue of Jones and the Hindu imagery on its pedestal. For while that imagery pays tribute to Jones, especially through its iconographical depiction of Vishnu, the Hindu god of justice and protection, it is dominated by the undemonstrative yet emphatically present figure of an Indian woman, seemingly the monument’s sole visual reference to a colonized human subject. Existing somewhere between human and sculpture, and between human and divine, she resists meaning and knowledge, troubling the monument’s semantic clarity and commemorative purpose.

Abstract: This roundtable comment piece raises questions about the significance of materials, subject matter and form, and location and display to interpretations of W. F. Woodington’s 1862 Genesis panel at St Paul’s Cathedral. The panel was commissioned as an adjunct to the Wellington Memorial, and depicts the conclusion of the first military engagement in the Bible, the Battle of the Vale of Siddim. It features 18 human figures, three sheep, and two cows, and is inscribed with a passage from Genesis 14. 20. My comment piece reconceptualizes the panel as an assemblage bringing together many worlds, human and non-human, alongside the worlds of faith which were the impetus for the roundtable. It brings together biblical subject matter with the commemoration of military heroes; Italian marble quarry workers; the racially charged material of white marble; memories of sheep on their way to slaughter at Smithfield market; archaeological discoveries; the figure of Sodom in Victorian culture, and classical sculptural form. It asks how these varied geographies, time periods, and contributors to this object, human and non-human, might shift or mediate our understanding of this frieze as something more than an adjunct to a memorial to a military hero.

Abstract: Milman’s monument represents the Dean as if he had just fallen asleep, with little reference either to death or resurrection. Milman was an historian and man of letters as well as Dean of St Paul’s, and the article argues that this monument reflects his latitudinarian tendency to regard sacred history with wise suspicion, but also to overlook the apocalyptic, world-interrupting demands of his own faith.

Abstract: The alabaster wall monument to Robert Claudius Billing, Suffragan Bishop of Bedford, placed in the crypt of St Paul’s Cathedral, commemorates the life and service of a Victorian cleric known for his work in the overcrowded parishes of east London. Supplied by Powell and Sons, a London-based glassmaking firm that made stained glass and mosaics as well as reredoses and tablets, the monument echoes the architectural style and decoration of the iconic building in which it is placed, as well as showcasing a new vitreous mosaic material known as opus sectile that the firm innovated and marketed as suitable for both wall and floor decoration. The striking opus sectile portrait of Billing preserves an image of the deceased, and together with the accompanying epitaph demonstrates the affection and high esteem in which he was held in the Diocese of London and beyond.

Abstract: When the widely published author, social activist, and women’s rights campaigner Louise Creighton (née von Glehn, 1850–1936) died, her ashes were buried in her husband’s tomb. Mandell Creighton (1843–1901) had died 35 years earlier in January 1901, just a week before Queen Victoria. Appointed Bishop of London in 1897, Mandell was previously Bishop of Peterborough and a professor of history at the University of Cambridge. On his death Louise commissioned a ledger to mark the site of his burial in the Chapel of St Faith in the crypt of St Paul’s Cathedral (Figure 1).

Abstract: In Frederick William Pomeroy’s memorial to Archbishop Frederick Temple (1821–1902), the deceased kneels on an inscribed plinth (Figures 1 and 2). The text reads ‘In Thee O Lord I put my trust’. It is the beginning of Psalm 31, a psalm of praise. It is also the final verse of the Te Deum, an early Christian hymn. The Te Deum has been used in liturgies since the fourth century; the canticle is a core part of the Mattins service in the Book of Common Prayer, which Temple would have prayed daily.11 This phrase thus invokes both a psalm and a liturgical song, both scripture and ritual: all in the hope of resurrection for the supplicant Temple. The words of his prayer are the foundation upon which he kneels, connecting text, image and the body in a gesture that signals not only the beginning and end of Psalm 31 and the Te Deum respectively, but the alpha and omega of kairos, God’s own eternal time, rather than the chronos that dictates the limited time and space of planetary life. Temple served at the highest levels of episcopal authority for the majority of his ministry. He was made Bishop of Exeter in 1869 at the age of 48. Following his years at Exeter, he became Bishop of London in 1885, and finally Archbishop of Canterbury in 1896. In addition to the St Paul’s monument, there is also a larger and closely related memorial to him at Canterbury Cathedral. In addition to a ledger stone by Eric Gill in the cathedral garth, there is a monumental memorial to him – also by Pomeroy, together with the architect W. D. Caroe – within the cathedral’s easternmost chapel. Temple’s double role, in other words, resulted in a double commission for Pomeroy.
