awarded for an essay, the subject of which shall relate to the intention and result of the changes in
doctrine, organization, and ritual within the Church of England between the years AD 1500 and 1700;

Each referee shall receive such payment from the income of the Fund as may be determined by the

otherwise specified in these regulations, delegate any of their functions to a committee, consisting of
not less than three persons, not all of whom shall necessarily be members of the Faculty of History or
the Faculty Board.
7. A student shall be required to submit the subject of his or her essay for the approval of the
Adjudicators before the division of the term previous to the date fixed for the award; such approval

of publication of any essays that the Adjudicators think worthy of publication shall be the next charges
upon the Fund; any remainder from the accumulated income or any part of it may at the discretion of
the Adjudicators be awarded to the successful candidate as an addition to the Prize.
10. After provision has been made for the award of a Prize in accordance with Regulation 9 any
unexpended income accumulated in the Fund may be applied from time to time at the discretion of
the Adjudicators for the following purposes:
(a) To make grants for the furtherance of research in English ecclesiastical history between 1500

the English Church between 1500 and 1700 and the bearing of these changes upon the political,

by the Council.
