AN AFTERNOON OF
INSIGHTS AND HISTORY
A bespoke afternoon with exclusive access to the
Divinity School at Oxford, a Chaucer home, along
with expert insights and conversation with a world
leading historian and theologian, author Reverend
Dr. Allan Doig.
In A History of the Church through its Buildings,
author Allan Doig explores twelve great examples
of churches that reveal key moments and themes
in the human story of the Church. Most of those
examples are royal and imperial foundations but
one is set deep in the Oxfordshire countryside in
the village of Ewelme. The Foundation of God’s
House was established there by Alice Chaucer,
daughter of the poet Geoffrey, and her husband
William de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk. The Foundation
consisted of a school, still functioning as the local
parish school (unlike the slightly younger Eton
College, founded by William’s friend, King Henry
VI), a cloistered group of almshouses (still
occupied by ‘almsmen’), and the parish church
with its family chantry and Alice’s magnificent
tomb. Duke William was also Lord Protector of
nearby Oxford University, which received
bequests from both the Duke and Duchess for the
completion of its new Divinity School, where their
family coats of arms are found in the bosses of its
marvellous vaulted ceiling, along with their
kinsman by marriage, King Edward IV. The story is
not just about shifting regal and aristocratic power
and alliances (Duke William was banished in 1450
and on the way was apprehended and brutally
executed with half a dozen strokes of a rusty
sword), the underlying theological question is
about chantries, good works, and the cost of
passage through Purgatory to salvation. How
many Masses, how much prayer by the living and
what good works would be a sufficient ‘tariff’ to
shorten the purgation of the dead?
The afternoon will begin with your being picked
up from Oxford Station and taken to Ewelme to
see the Foundation of God’s House, School,
almshouses and chantry, then to the
contemporary almshouses at St Helen’s Church in
Abingdon and on via St Mary’s Church, Iffley to
see Alice’s son John’s coat of arms in stained

glass, impaling the arms of his wife, Princess
Elizabeth Plantagenet. Finally we will visit the
Divinity School in the University of Oxford, which,
along with Duke Humphrey’s Library above, shows
the radical change undergone by the
contemporary University.

BY ALAN ANDERSON
Alan Anderson is Canada’s definitive couture
fashion jewellery house.
Located in downtown Toronto, the Alan Anderson
Atelier is situated in a historic Victorian
building. Alan likes to refer to it as his “creative
sanctuary,” and has surrounded himself with
beautiful objects that he collects, to inspire him.
Alan handcrafts each piece, prong-setting
vintage crystals and stones to create one-of-a-
kind pieces, all signed with his signature
cartouche. He does not research trends; instead
stays true to his personal style with an ever-
changing collection of statement jewellery. He
refers to his pieces as ‘ vintage infused’ as Alan
travels the world in search of rare, vintage
unmounted crystals and stones, in their original
packaging, which helps to date the crystals’
original production. That is what makes his designs
so special — the stones and crystals will never be
made again, and once used cannot be
duplicated. Each piece is triple plated, under his
direction, in Toronto, in various precious metal
finishes including 14kt gold, rhodium, and
antiqued Japanned.
His pieces have adorned celebrities and
magazine covers around the world. Dame
Elizabeth Taylor owned an amethyst cuff which
became part of Christie’s auction of her
collection,
His work, inspired by the glamorous sirens of
Hollywood’s golden era, Newport’s gilded age
and turn-of-the-century European Royalty, is an
art form — timeless, collectable and destined to
be handed down through generations. Alan
hopes that his creations will be loved and “worn
daily in random acts of glamour.”

SALVAGED MARINE
ROPE BASKET
KIM FAGERLAND
My foray into making baskets was accidental - I
pick up rope and plastic off the beaches on
Hornby Island, British Columbia. Every year over 9
million metric tons of plastic washes up on
beaches, most of it connected to the fishing and
aquaculture industries.
Rope and plastic in the ocean is a threat to
marine wildlife. Instead of throwing it into the
landfill, it could be upcycled to create something.
The rope is washed, stripped into pieces, stretched
and then stitched together. A twisted piece of
marine waste is transformed into a beautiful
basket.
My work represents my concern about the
profusion of plastic in our world, a way of sharing
my love for the ocean and our need to care for
the environment. I am hoping to inspire people to
the possibility of renewal and to look after the
ocean.
