The Seventh Warwick Symposium on Parish Research will take place at the University of Warwick on Saturday 9 May 2009. It is dedicated to the theme of ‘Microhistory – Local History – Parish History’ and features the following contributions: Clive Burgess, Royal Holloway, London‘What did they think they were doing? The parishioners of All Saints’, Bristol, in the century before the Reformation’ Graeme Murdock, Trinity College, Dublin‘Rural Reformed religion: Life in a Savoyard parish’  Angelo Torre, Università degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale‘The parish in a fragmented rural settlement (Piedmont, XVIth-XVIIIth centuries)’ Giorgio Chittolini, Università di Milano‘Comment’ The Symposium has been established to foster long-term, interdisciplinary and comparative approaches to parish studies in the period c.1300–c.1800. Participants will ideally include a mixture of established scholars and postgraduate research students. Thanks to the generous support of Warwick’s Humanities Research Centre and the Mellon-Newberry Project of the Centre for Renaissance Studies, conference costs can be kept to a minimum, i.e. £5 for postgraduates and £15 for all other delegates (incl. lunch and refreshments). Postgraduates can also apply for a Mellon Bursary of £150. In order to enhance discussion, and preserve an informal ‘seminar’ atmosphere, the number of places is limited. Up-to-date details and a registration form can be found on the Symposium website at:http://go.warwick.ac.uk/parishsymposium  Registration forms and conference fee should be returned by 10 April 2009 to:Susan Dibben, Humanities Research Centre, University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL For further information please contact Beat Kümin, Warwick Network for Parish Research:b.kumin@warwick.ac.uk
