Adrian is Chair in the History of Finance, Associate Dean (International) and Head of ICMA Centre. He is module convenor for the MSc module, Topics in the History of Finance.

Adrian is interested in the history of finance and is working on a major project funded by the Leverhulme Trust with Professor Chris Brooks and Dr Tony Moore. This three year project began in January 2012, and focuses on medieval foreign exchange. More detail is available at http://www.icmacentre.ac.uk/medievalfx/. This project builds upon a previous major project for the ESRC with the same team which investigated the early and innovative use of credit finance by a succession of English medieval monarchs (https://www.icmacentre.ac.uk/medievalcredit) and the earlier ESRC project entitled “Modern Finance in the Middle Ages? Advance contracts for the supply of wool” (UK Data Archive, study number 5325: http://www.data-archive.ac.uk/).

Professor Bell also specialises in the Hundred Years War and his book, War and the Soldier in the Fourteenth Century, was published by Boydell and Brewer in Autumn 2004. In 2006 he was awarded a major grant from the AHRC (jointly with Professor Anne Curry, University of Southampton) to investigate “The Soldier in Later Medieval England” for more details see http://www.medievalsoldier.org/. The findings are outlined in a major work The Soldier in Later Medieval England, published by Oxford University Press (2013). For a recent review see this link.
