British historian (1949–2024)
Kate Tiller (1949–2024) was an academic in the History Faculty at Oxford University, Reader emerita in English local history and a founding Fellow at Kellogg College, University of Oxford.
Her academic fields were British social and local history, with particular research interests in English rural change post-1750, and in religion and community in Britain since 1730. She also wrote on the academic practice of local history, with research interests in local histories of the 20th century and of remembrance and community. She taught on graduate and outreach programmes and to supervise Master's and DPhil students in Chartism and Methodism. Her book "English Local History: An Introduction", first published in 1987, has been described as "a standard work" on the subject; the third edition was published in 2020.
She served on the Council of the Chapels Society, a registered charity, and was the academic director and coordinator of the "Communities of Dissent" project run by the Family and Community Historical Research Society (FACHRS) between 2017 and 2020.
