Early life and education
Maltby was born on 14 October 1957 in the United States.[2][3][4] She studied for a double major in English and history at the University of Illinois, graduating in 1979 with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree.[3][4] She undertook postgraduate research in early modern British history at Wolfson College, Cambridge, and then at Newnham College, Cambridge,[3] completing her Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in 1992.[4] Her doctoral thesis was titled Approaches to the Study of Religious Conformity in Late Elizabethan and Early Stuart England: With Special Reference to Cheshire and the Diocese of Lincoln.[5]
Career
Academic career
From 1987 to 1993, Maltby was a tutor in church history at Salisbury and Wells Theological College, an Anglican theological college in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England.[3][4] In 1993, having been appointed its college chaplain, she was elected a Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Oxford.[3] She is also a member of the Faculty of Theology and Religion, University of Oxford,[6][7] and was made reader in church history in 2004.[8]
Maltby's main research interests are church history and the history of early modern Britain.[3] Particular interests include "16th and 17th century English religion", "liturgy and the history of the Church of England", ecumenism, and "Anglican responses to persecution during the 1640–50s".[6]
In 1999, Maltby was elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society (FRHistS).[4][9]
Ordained ministry
From 1989 to 1992, Maltby trained for Holy Orders on the Southern Theological Education and Training Scheme.[4] She was ordained in the Church of England as a deacon in 1992.[4] From 1992 to 1993, she was an honorary parish deacon at the Parish of Wilton with Netherhampton & Fugglestone in the Diocese of Salisbury.[4] She was ordained as a priest on 17 April 1994 by Richard Harries, Bishop of Oxford,[4][10][11] and was thus among the first women ordained to the priesthood in the Church of England.[3][12]
