Marshall
The Marshalls were “from the West”, especially Devon, with extensive clerical connections. The banner for this page shows some of the places that were important to them. The images are of Exeter Cathedral; St. David’s Church, Ashprington (with its 12th century font); The Plains area of Totnes, Devon; The East Gate of Totnes; the Steamer Harbour at Totnes; and Eton College Chapel. The articles on the site will, in time, explain the importance of these places.

Research into the Marshall family inevitably finds the Essays on Economics and Economists by Professor Ronald Coase. The Essays deal with the family background of Charles Henry Marshall’s nephew, Alfred Marshall, the renowned Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge University, and teacher and mentor of John Maynard Keynes. Unfortunately, the Essays contain many misconceptions about the Marshalls which have been relied on and repeated by others. We have corrected and updated the Marshall family story in our paper published in the journal, History of Political Economy Volume 52, No. 2, April 2020. We present an extended version. |
