"It has been well recognised over the last year that not all these passport-issuing bodies are operating to the same standard, " said Dr Tim Morris, vice chair of the British Horse Industry Confederation.
In his position as UNESCO chair, Professor Morris will engage in and publish research on religious change in New Zealand and the Pacific since 1990 and the relationships between religious communities.
These include William Holman Hunt's beautiful "The Eve of Saint Agnes" (after Keats's poem) and the very early "Arming of a Knight" chair decorated by William Morris and Dante Gabriel Rossetti (exhibited with a youthful self-caricature by Edward Burne-Jones in which he depicts himself admiring that chair while seated on it).
