Research in the Centre is wide-ranging, covering a number of specialist areas, including Old and Middle English, manuscript studies, the Crusades, and the genetic heritage of the Viking past.

We have successfully attracted substantial external research grants (more than £1.75 million since 2008) from Research Councils and charities and are always looking to deepen and expand our research base through collaboration with colleagues in the UK and abroad.
