Hutchinson in helping to found Portsmouth after her dramatic banishment from Massachusetts Bay and Williams in confirming a vital land evidence for Providence. What is lesser known about these two Rhode Island women is that they grew up in neighboring counties in England – Williams in Nottinghamshire and Hutchinson in Lincolnshire. This talk will explore the early lives of Anne Marbury and Mary Bernard before they crossed the Atlantic and became Anne Hutchinson and Mary Williams. \nCharlotte Carrington-Farmer (Ph.D. University of Cambridge) is an Associate Professor of History at Roger Williams University. Carrington-Farmer specializes in Rhode Island history and has a forthcoming article on Mary Williams\, entitled: “More Than Roger’s Wife: Mary Williams and the Founding of Providence” New England Quarterly (2024)\, and a forthcoming book\, Roger Williams and His World (Broadview\, 2024). She has published two biographies in edited collections\, one on Thomas Morton in Atlantic Lives: Biographies that Cross the Ocean (Brill\, 2014) and another “Roger Williams and the Architecture of Religious Liberty” in Law and Religion in the Liberal State (Hart\, 2020.)  Her interest in Rhode Island history also includes equine history\, and she published an article on “The Rise and Fall of the Narragansett Pacer\,” in Rhode Island History (2018) and a chapter “Trading Horses in the Eighteenth Century: Rhode Island and the Atlantic World\,” in Equestrian Cultures: Horses\, Human Society\, and the Discourse of Modernity (University of Chicago Press\, 2019.) She routinely teaches “The Trial of Anne Hutchinson” using the experiential pedagogy “Reacting to the Past” and has also led two study abroad trips to “Retrace Roger Williams in England.” She grew up in Derbyshire\, England – close to the childhood homes of both Mary and Anne. \nAttendance is free\, but registration is required.

As Governor\, he developed friendships with the Hutchinsons\, the Dyers\, and Roger Williams\, who later described him as “an Instrument of God” for procuring and confirming the Rhode Island Charter.  His radical beliefs\, however\, put him at odds with King Charles II\, who had Vane executed in 1662. Biddlecombe-Brown will explore his life and legacy in Old\, and New England. \nJulie is an experienced curator who heads up the Curation and Archives team at Raby Castle https://www.raby.co.uk/raby-castle/ on behalf of the current owners\, Lord and Lady Barnard.  She previously worked as Curator of Exhibitions at Durham University\, where she first began looking at the links between New England and the north-east of England in 2016 as part of a project team telling the story of indentured Scottish prisoners who were sent to Massachusetts Bay in 1650 https://www.durham.ac.uk/departments/academic/archaeology/research/archaeology-research-projects/scottish-soldiers/.  Since moving to Raby Castle in 2019\, Julie and her team have been getting to grips with a site with almost 1\,000 years of history; over 15\,000 historic items and 2\,500 feet of archives\, a process that uncovers stories that demonstrate that the castle might have roots firmly planted in England but its branches spread across the globe. \nAttendance is free\, but registration is required. Guests can register here.
