In this online lecture, Money & Brains: Christopher Hampton, James Ussher & the See of Armagh, Alan Ford considers two early 17th-century archbishops of Armagh, Christopher Hampton (1613-1625) and James Ussher (1625-1656). Alan Ford is Emeritus Professor of Theology at the University of Nottingham. His publications include ‘James Ussher: Theology, History and Politics in Early Modern Ireland and England’ (2007).
Armagh Robinson Library organised the lecture as the first in a series to mark the 250th anniversary of its second building at No 5 Vicars’ Hill (formerly the Armagh Diocesan Registry). We are grateful to the Social Enterprise Academy and the National Lottery Heritage Fund for its support.
All the lectures in the Lecture Series – 250th Anniversary are available online.
