Abstract
The `Little Dissolution' of the 1520s
Deirdre Mary O'Sullivan
227 - 258
In the 1520s Cardinal Wolsey dissolved twenty-nine monastic houses, appropriating the revenue to support two colleges at Oxford and Ipswich. The paper reviews the procedures employed by Cromwell, Wolsey's agent, to bring about these suppressions, and the contemporary significance of the appropriation and destruction of monastic buildings. A survey book compiled by William Brabazon records considerable detail about the appearance of five of the suppressed houses, indicating that they had a manorial character. An additional survey survives for the monastery at Rumburgh. The `Little Dissolution' differed from the later dissolutions in a number of important respects, but some of the strategies developed were later redeployed. Includes

The Metropolis Local Management Act and the archaeology of sanitary reform in the London Borough of Lambeth 1856--86
Nigel Jeffries
272 - 290
The passing of the Metropolis Local Management Act in 1855 and the creation of an empowered body, the Metropolitan Board of Works, can be seen as the first statutory attempt to reform London at a municipal level during the Victorian period. The paper explores whether the subsequent programme of sanitary improvement conducted by the Board of Works and London's vestries over the next thirty years, together with managed rubbish collection, can be detected in the archaeological record by using the extensive excavations in north Lambeth as an example of practices that occurred across London. It also demonstrates the strength and distinctiveness of historical archaeology in being able to examine disposal processes that otherwise remain largely mute in the written sources.
Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire: the architecture of the Government Code and Cypher...
Linda Monckton
291 - 300
During World War II, Bletchley Park, a former country house in Buckinghamshire, was the home of the British Government's Code and Cypher School. The small organization that arrived in August 1939 grew into a staff of more than 10,000 by 1945. The need for progressively larger and more complex accommodation necessitated a near-continuous building programme. Despite some demolitions and post-war alterations, many of the site's wartime buildings still stand. A recent programme of architectural study, landscape survey and archival research by English Heritage has provided a comprehensive overview of Bletchley's development. The sequence and functions of the standing buildings have been established, and ways in which their evolution related to the earlier (largely Victorian) landscaped park have been explored. Bletchley represents in its architecture the evolution of a cryptographic research centre from modest beginnings into a global signals intelligence centre.
