Rory has been awarded a Leverhulme Post-doctoral Fellowship to work on the preparation of a new volume in the series Medieval European Coinage, published by Cambridge University Press and inaugurated – with support from the Leverhulme Trust – in the early 1980s by Professor Philip Grierson (1910-2006) and his first research assistant Mark Blackburn (1953-2011). Volumes so far published have dealt with early medieval Europe as a whole, along with parts of Spain and Italy. His volume will be focused on England in the period c. 600-1066, and will contain a fully illustrated catalogue of some 2,500 coins in the collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum, as well as a new commentary and introduction.
