Professor Anthony Tuck
Emeritus Professor of History, University of Bristol
The English Language in Late Medieval Britain

Professor Anthony Tuck taught medieval history at the Universities of Lancaster, Durham and Bristol .  His main interests are in 14th and 15th century English history, and the economy and society of the northern English counties and the Anglo-Scottish border.  He has published on all these subjects, and he became interested in the changes in the languages used in the documents he consulted.

Now retired, he lives in Newport (Essex) and is a member of a group preparing a parish history of Newport for the Victoria County History.  It will be one of the VCH's series of "stand-alone" parish histories, and publication is expected at the end of 2014.
