Mara Gregory, a postgraduate student with CHM in 2012-13, had her MA dissertation put forward by the History Department earlier this year for the Royal Historical Society's Rees Davies Prize. She has now won the prize, which includes the opportunity to have part of the dissertation considered for publication by Transactions, a substantial annual volume published by the RHS, which presents wide-ranging reports from the front lines of historical research by both senior and younger scholars.
