London Record Society
Hon. General Editors’ report 2015
The society is continuing to attract a healthy number of proposals. The current printing
programme extends well into the next decade, with more than a dozen volumes forthcoming
that embrace an array of texts from the mediaeval to the modern period. Before the end of
2015, the Society expects to be publishing a major volume, Seals in Medieval London, 10501300: A Catalogue edited by John McEwen, to be followed in early 2016 by ‘The Angels’
Voice’: the newsletter of the young men’s Bible Class at Trinity Congregational Church,
Brixton, on the eve of the First World War, edited by Alan Argent, the historian of modern
Congregationalism.
A number of volumes are currently in preparation. Among those expected to be published in
the near future are the mid-20th-century Diaries of Anthony Heap, a resident of St. Pancras,
edited by Robin Woolven. Other forthcoming volumes include the Draper’s Company Dinner
Book edited by Sarah Milne, a collection of documents relating to London Shipbuilding in
the Middle Ages edited by Maryanne Kowaleski, the London Jubilee Book edited by
Caroline Barron and Laura Wright, and the letters of the 17th-century merchant Thomas
Pengelly edited by Matthew Payne.
Although the printing programme remains extremely full, the editors are always pleased to hear from
prospective authors and we would welcome further proposals.
