Trinity Hall

So I've always been really passionate about social justice, about human rights, about community organizing.

And that's sort of what began my journey particularly as a student activist where I was the women's officer at Trinity Hall when I was studying my undergraduate degree at Cambridge and I was really getting involved because I was very aware of the traditional kind of patriarchal and also white supremacist structures within the institution and that really led me to organize with fellow students particularly on making sure that the campus was Safe as as we could make it particularly on ending sexual and gender-based violence on campus providing compulsory Consent workshops for incoming students and at the time that was the first university in the UK that was doing that for that and then getting involved in in all all things from LGBTI rights to diversity equity and inclusion and to hosting workshops, to hosting feminist poetry nights.

So those kinds of things.

And that's sort of what started the journey onwards to where I am now, 10 years plus later.

To explore the history of this coin specifically and how it reflects to the culture when it was made, I'm joined this week by Clare Jackson.

Claire is an honorary professor of early modern history at Cambridge University and Walter Grant Scott Fellow in History at Trinity Hall.

She's fascinated by the rich and complex history of Stuart Britain and its continental neighbors, having presented highly successful television programs for the BBC.

And her latest book, The Mirror of Great Britain, A Life of King James VI and I, was deemed a top five book of 2025 by the Financial Times and was also selected as Book of the Year by the Times, History Today, and the Royal Academy Magazine.

The death occurred at a private hospital in Wellington of Mr Barry Marshall, who was widely known and highly respected in New Zealand and Australia for his former association with a legitimate stage and subsequently with the motion picture business in the Dominion.

He was educated at Eton and Trinity Hall, Cambridge.

Mr Marshall graduated with a BL and LLB and practiced for a period in London and Australia.

For some time he was Crown Prosecutor in Queensland.

For some time before May 1782 he had regularly attended St. Edward's Church near King's College, a church where Hugh Latimer had ministered in his day.

There he had found some spiritual assistance in the preaching of the good and lovable vicar, Christopher Atkinson, tutor of Trinity Hall, and gladly would have made his acquaintance, but did not care to introduce himself.

And, uh, understandably, these left both mark, marks on both his imagination and his health.

After he was demobbed, he, um, read English history and politics at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, moved to London as an essayist and reviewer.

He wrote his novel, The Good Companions, 1929.

I've got it on my shelf.
