GrLEs-rN-THE-woop) HERTFORDSHI RE The cartulary consists of a thirteenth century manuscript some sixty-six pages long. It contains 106 Items which are copies of royal and episcopal privileges (Queen Eleanor, John, Henry III, Richard, earl of Cornwall, and Bishop Hugh weIls of Lincoln), and charters of the founders (t-he Tony family of Flamstead), together with some fines and other gifts by various donors. OnIy two charters in the text are dated. One is from Roger de Tony in 1204 and the other from Bishop Hugh in 1221. Sewn in at the beginning of the docu- ment are part of a fine dated 1242 and a chirograph of Pri- oress Cneria. At the end are a number of charters concern- ing the manor of Woodhal1, Hemel Hempstead, which was given to the priory by Agatha, former nurse to Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine and widow of william de Gatesden, dated 1228. Agatha's charter is confirmed by Kings John and Henry IIi with his brother Richard, earl of Cornwall. The final items are a fine from John of Gadesden (1242), an agreement with the Rector of Ashridge, and grants by Reginald Chamberleng and Ralph 1e Dispenser. lv - The introduction describes the appearance and contents of the Cartulary and discusses the possible aspect of the priory buildings of which no traces remain. The economic tife of the priory and its holdings in the counties of Hert- ford, Bedford, and Buckingham are also considered" The problem of just when and by whom the priory was founded is discussed, along with the priory's place in the history of female Benedictine foundations in England at that period. The endowments of the priory, the terms on which these ylere given, and the status of the donors are described. As well, histories are provided on the Tony family as founders of the priory and their manor of Flamstead. Five papal bul1s pertaining to the priory are depicted, and as conplete a history as is possible of the priory has been developed. Appendices provide a new and more complete list of the prioresses of St. Giles-in-the Wood, a nev¡ geneology of the Tony f ami Iy , f our samples of the cartulary' s hands , invento'- ries of both the priory's goods and land holdings at the time of Closure (1537), and maps of the areas commented upon in the text. In additon, indices include an Index of Wit- nesses to the various charters and a General Index of the principal persons, places, and subjects mentioned in the text. À,CKNOE{TEDGEMENTS My thanks are due first to my advisor, Dr. L.À. Desmond, for his aid and encouragement during the preparation of this t.hesis. Thanks are also due to Father V. Jensen, S.J. who checked the transliteration so carefully, and to all the members of my examining committee. I am grateful too, to Father H.J. Drake, S.J. and the St. Pauf's College Library staff, especiatll" Mrs. J. England and Miss R. Dwyer who gave of their knowledge, time, and encouragement to help locate material, and obtain interli- brary loans for me from often difficult and inadequate ref- erences. My appreciation goes to Sr. nita Desrochers whose calig- raphy produced the encLosed gothic script. My gratitude is also extended to those people who helped me while I was researching in England. In particular, they include Mr. A. Burley, the Warden of St. Leonard's church in Flamstead; Headmaster J.R.G. Higgs whose special kindnesses included a tour of Beechwood Preparatory School for Boys the former Beechwood Manor House, Flamstead - and the use of his notes and papers on the manor and convent; County Àrchaeologist M.J. Daniells who gave me his impressions of the Priory's former site along with copies of the archaeological records v1 of Beechwood Manori Lhe staff of the Hertford County Record Office whose knowledge of their holdings and help in deci- phering some of the difficult script in the original docu- ment vrere invaluable; and Mr" Noel Farris, a scholar, writ- êfr and regular researcher in the E.C.R.g. Archives who gave his time and skitl to summarize parts of the very difficult hand in the Woodhalle Manor Rolls. I owe a debt to a special friend and mentor the late Father Lawrence C. Braceland, S.J. whose untimely death Ieft our work on the Cartulary unfinished. He taught me to strive for excellence in scholarship and, among other things, his brilliance in Medieval Latin I.Ias shared with me unstintingly. Finally to those special unnamed people both 1n England and Winnipeg who helped bring this work to fruit 10n my sin- cere thanks. v11 ANNÞEIWT À'FTôìIq B.C. BeachamP CartularY B.L.

  • Tyttenhanger 30 S
    TYTTENHANGER 30 S. ALBANS ARCHITECTURAL & ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. BY THE REV. H. FOWLER, M.A. The interesting house, which, by courteous permission, we have the pleasure of visiting, has attractive historical associations. Its predecessor, as is well known, was a favourite residence of the Abbots of S. Albans; the estate was probably one of their early acquisitions. I will beg first to offer some remarks on the mediaeval portion of our subject. The early history of the Manor of Tyttenhanger in connection with the Monastery is involved in some obscurity. In the list of " Secular Benefactors admitted to the Fraternity of S. Alban," we find " Ulfwin de Tydenhangre" and " Lifget de Tidenhanger,"* clearly belonging to Saxon times; but their benefactions are not specified. The Manor does not appear under this name in the monastic records until the reign of King Stephen,f but it is highly probable (as Mr. Cussans has shown in his careful description) that it is identical with the Abbey estate described in the Domesday Survey as Shenley, and therefore acquired before A.D. 1086. In the Book of Benefactors J we read that "a certain pious matron, Thurefieda [certainly before the Conquest] gave to S. Alban in perpetual alms Scenlea and Bridela." Then " Domesday" states, " the Abbot holds Scenlai; it is rated at 6 hides, &c. The Manor lay and lies in the demesne of the Church of S. Alban." It is reckoned in the Hundred of Albaneston (i.e., Cassio Hundred). In the same record the main portion of the Manor of Shenley (Scenlai), rated at 8 hides, and held by Geoffry de Mandeville, is set down under the Hundred of Danais (i.e., Dacorum).

  • the Hundred-N Ames the South-Eastern Counties
    . THE HUNDRED-N AMES OF THE SOUTH-EASTERN COUNTIES I I ii;li! :/1, I :1 ill~ I iidlill' , ;1·"I" , Buckinghamshire The most interesting feature of the history of the Buckinghamshire hundreds is the grouping together of the Domesday hundreds of the county in threes, so that the nine modern hundreds correspond to 18 Domesday hundreds. The amalgamation seems to date approximately from the middle of the 13th century, though the hundreds may have been grouped together in this way as early as Domesday Book (VHBk I. 226 and reference). The modern Buckingham hd contains the Domesday hds of Stodlald, Rovelai I' and Lam2la, Ashendon those of Vofesdune, Tichesela and Essedene, lil~ Aylesbury those of Stanes, Riseberg and Elesberie, Cottesloe those of ',''',1 '1 i Mursalai, Erlai and Coteslau, and Newport those of Moleslou, Sigela,i and :"11' Bonestou. The three hundreds of southern Buckinghamshire, Desborough, Burnham and Stoke, were also grouped together as 'the Chiltern Hundreds', but here each hundred retained its separate identity. The grouping of the hundreds in threes has a parallel in the Worcestershire and Warwickshire 'ship-sokes', on which see Engl. Hundr. Names XIX, PNWa XIX, H. M. Cam in Hist. Ess. in Honour of J.

  • Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group Primary Care Commissioning Committee Part 2 in Public Thursday 19 November 2020, 3.00Pm Via Webex
    Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group Primary Care Commissioning Committee Part 2 in Public Thursday 19 November 2020, 3.00pm Via Webex Note concerning HVCCG management of conflicts of interest. A conflict of interest occurs where an individual’s ability to exercise judgement, or act in a role is, could be, or is seen to be impaired or otherwise influenced by his or her involvement in another role or relationship. In some circumstances, it could be reasonably considered that a conflict exists even when there is no actual conflict. In these cases it is important to still manage these perceived conflicts in order to maintain public trust. Members and attendees of the Committee are reminded of their responsibilities. To ensure transparency and openness, individuals should notify the Chair of any potential conflicts of interest in relation to agenda items, even if the interest is already formally recorded. January 2019 The Nolan Principles In May 1995, the Committee on Standards in Public Life, under the Chairmanship of Lord Nolan, established the Seven Principles of Public Life, also known as the “Nolan principles”. These principles are the basis of the ethical standards expected of all public office holders. The Herts Valleys CCG Constitution recognises that in all its work it must seek to meet the highest expectations for public accountability, standards of conduct and transparency. It will therefore ensure that the Nolan principles, set out below, are taken fully into account in its decision making and its policies in relation to standards of behaviour. 1. Selflessness. Holders of public office should act solely in terms of the public interest.
