ENROLMENT FORM
The English Gentry
1550-1700
A day school to be
held at Rewley House
1 Wellington Square
Oxford
P
ortraits of the sixteenth and seventeenth century English gentleman show
a self-confident social class, drawing
their substantial incomes from landed estates
and deeply involved in local government.
Closer study reveals less certainty about the
definition of a gentleman and this day school
will examine some of the ways in which the
gentry defined and asserted their status at
a time of rapid social change. Speakers will
draw on recent research on legal records, the
gentry house, and local studies of the Oxfordshire and Berkshire gentry in this period.
