Dr Andrew Barclay
Senior Research Fellow, 1640-1660
Research
Originally the focus of my work was East Anglia, but more recently it has moved westwards and I am currently writing the entries on the Berkshire MPs, who included such radical figures as Henry Marten and Cornelius Holland. Among the entries I have drafted in the recent past were those on John Hampden and Edmund Waller, two Buckinghamshire MPs who, in rather different ways, were major figures in the Commons during the early years of the Long Parliament.
My research interests include the Stuart royal household, Oliver Cromwell’s East Anglian connections and the background to Charles II’s Restoration in 1660. I am the Secretary and Treasurer of the Society for Court Studies and the Treasurer of the Jacobite Studies Trust.
