Call for Papers: Untold Tales: Women Pioneers in British Architectural History

The Third Mark Girouard Symposium at The Courtauld Institute, London. 14 November 2026

Peter Fergusson PhD Scholarship in English Medieval Architecture (Link)

The Courtauld is delighted to announce a new fully funded PhD scholarship in English

medieval architecture, starting in September 2026. Architecture is understood broadly to

encompass the built environment, from infrastructure, urban design and domestic

buildings to churches, castles and cathedrals, but may also include architectural

representation or micro-architecture. Eligible projects should focus on England in the

period between the eleventh and early sixteenth centuries.

The scholarship is made available thanks to a generous bequest by Professor Peter

Fergusson (1934-2022), an internationally recognised scholar of medieval architecture. The

scholarship includes full home or international tuition fees, as well as an annual stipend

of £22,780 to support the costs of living in London. There is also an annual allowance of

£1000 to support travel for research purposes, and the possibility of financial support for

the scholar to organise a conference in their final year of study.

Deadline: 17 November 2025

Announcement of Mittelrhein-Museum Koblenz, Link:

In 1845, Queen Victoria took a cruise on the Rhine with her German Prince Consort Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Overwhelmed by the romantic river landscape, she wrote in her diary about the Drachenfels: “Too beautiful!”. However, Victoria and Albert were by no means the first Britons on the Rhine. 2024 also marks the 200th anniversary of the death of Lord Byron, whose poetry helped the Rhine region to achieve unprecedented popularity. This date provided the external occasion for an exhibition: The Middle Rhine Museum Koblenz and the Siebengebirgsmuseum Königswinter exhibit the discovery of the Rhine landscape by British tourists and artists in the 19th century. Following the course of the Rhine, paintings by British artists show the crucial stops made by travelers along the Rhine. In addition to paintings and watercolors by well-known artists such as Clarkson Stanfield, Samuel Prout and David Roberts as well as William Turner, caricatures are on display that document the British passion for travel and established a perception of the typical tourist which is still valid today.
Although these famous English painters and authors have shaped today's image of the English tourists on the Rhine, the majority belonged to completely different professional groups. One of the aims of the exhibition is to broaden the view and, in addition, to tell characteristic episodes involving lesser-known protagonists. The exhibition is intended to take into account the travel experiences of different genders, women as well as men, describing both the typical and the unusual.

In cooperation with the Siebengebirgsmuseum Königswinter and the Landesbibliothekszentrum Rheinland-Pfalz
