  • The British Historical Manuscripts Commission
    THE BRITISH HISTORICAL MANUSCRIPTS COMMISSION V ' I HE establishment of the Royal Commission for Historical Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/7/1/41/2741992/aarc_7_1_m625418843u57265.pdf by guest on 28 September 2021 Manuscripts in 1869 was an outgrowth of the concern for public records which had reached a climax only a few years earlier. As far back as 1661, William Prynne was appointed by Charles II to care for the public records in the Tower of London. Prynne described them as a "confused chaos, under corroding, putrifying cobwebs, dust and filth. ." In attempting to rescue them he employed suc- cessively "old clerks, soldiers and women," but all abandoned the job as too dirty and unwholesome. Prynne and his clerk cleaned and sorted them. He found, as he had expected, "many rare ancient precious pearls and golden records."1 Nevertheless, by 1800 the condition of the records was deplorable again, and a Record Commission was appointed for their custody and management. It was composed of men of distinction, was liberally supported, and it published various important documents. In spite of its work, the commission could not cope with the scattered records and unsuitable depositories. Of the latter, one was a room in the Tower of London over a gunpowder vault and next to a steam pipe passage; others were cellars and stables. The agitation aroused by the commission led to passage of the Public Records Act in 1838. The care and administration of the records was restored to the Mas- ter or Keeper of the Rolls, in conjunction with the Treasury depart- ment, with enlarged powers.

    Political Society in Cumberland and Westmorland 1471-1537 By Edward Purkiss, BA (Hons). Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. School of History and Classics University of Tasmania. 2008. This Thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright. 30 May, 2008. I place no restriction on the loan or reading of this thesis and no restriction, subject to the law of copyright, on its reproduction in any form. 11 Abstract The late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries have often been seen as a turning point in the development of the English state. At the beginning of the period the authority of the Crown was offset by powerful aristocratic interests in many regional areas. By the mid sixteenth century feudal relationships were giving way to a centrally controlled administration and government was reaching into regional political communities through direct connections between the Crown and local gentlemen. This thesis will trace these developments in Cumberland and Westmorland. It will argue that archaic aspects of government and society lingered longer here than in regions closer London. Feudal relationships were significant influences on regional political society well beyond the mid sixteenth century. This was a consequence of the area's distance from the centre of government and its proximity to a hostile enemy.

  • Naming Shirehampton and the Name Shirehampton
    Naming Shirehampton and the name Shirehampton Richard Coates University of the West of England, Bristol Shirehampton is a village in southern Gloucestershire, England, which has been absorbed into the city of Bristol. It has expanded into a suburb with a population of 6867 in 1991 (census figure; the precise figure is not readily deducible from later census data).1 Its territory included, until 1917, what was marshland and is now Avonmouth port and suburb. The historical development of its name is easy to follow in broad but unrevealing terms, though there is a considerable amount of problematic detail. In this article I explore what it is possible to deduce about aspects of the processes involved in its evolution, which are not at all straightforward. The paper can also be taken as an object lesson in the lexical-semantic and phonological difficulties of historical onomastics, and in the pleasures of travelling unexpected byways in the history of onomastics and in cultural history. But historical onomastics, in the sense of establishing the etymology of a name, is not the same as exploring the history of a name, and not the same as the historiography of a name. In analysing Shirehampton and its name, we shall look at all of these techniques and processes in detail. In this article I attempt to explore the historical onomasiological questions of what this particular tract of ground has been called over the centuries, and why; the semasiological question of the use of the place’s name or names in derived names (commemoration); and the historiographical question of what scholars have deduced from the place’s name or names: first and foremost the history of the interpretation of the place’s name or names (changing views on its/their etymology, and the consequences of changes in such provisional knowledge), but also changing views about the identification (denotation) of the name or names featuring in the record, and some real-world consequences of that.

  • THE CECIL PAPERS: FOUR CENTURIES of CUSTODIAL HISTORY Early Dispersal of the Papers
    THE CECIL PAPERS: FOUR CENTURIES OF CUSTODIAL HISTORY Early dispersal of the papers Historians of the Elizabethan and early Stuart period very quickly become aware of the dispersal of the papers of Lord Burghley and Robert Cecil amongst several different collections. These are chiefly those of the former State Paper Office at The National Archives, the Lansdowne Collection at the British Library and the Cecil Papers at Hatfield House. The State Paper Office originated in Queen Elizabeth's reign and some of Burghley's papers no doubt were always kept there or in his office at Whitehall. Many others were to hand in his own house: according to his will, his political papers concerning 'affaires of Counsell or state' were kept in his study over the porch and in certain other specified rooms in his London mansion, Burghley House. These papers he bequeathed to his son and political heir, Robert Cecil, who was Secretary of State at the time of his death. In due course they were moved to Salisbury House, which was built by Robert soon afterwards on the opposite side of the Strand. At the instigation of Robert Cecil, the powers of the State Paper Office were reinforced in 1610. One of his secretaries, Levinus Munck, and Thomas Wilson, his man of business, were appointed 'Keepers and Regesters' of the papers and records concerning matters of state and Council. The patent makes reference to the careful endeavours of Robert Earl of Salisbury, our Principal Secretary and our High Treasurer of England, to reduce all such papers, as well those that heretofore remained in the custody of Sir Thomas Lake, Knight, being the papers of some of the Principal Secretaries of our Predecessors, as also some such papers as he shall think fit to depart with, being either such as he hath collected of his own times, or such as were left to him from his late father the Lord Burghley, then Lord High Treasurer of England, into a set form or library, in some convenient place within our palace of Whitehall .

  • The Case of the Medieval Irish Chancery Rolls
    ILS 2013[13-14] 29/04/2013 19:11 Page 281 Reconstructing the past: the case of the medieval Irish chancery rolls PETER CROOKS* As we stood near the gate there was a loud shattering explosion … The munitions block and a portion of Headquarters block went up in flames and smoke … The yard was littered with chunks of masonry and smouldering records; pieces of white paper were gyrating in the upper air like seagulls. The explosion seemed to give an extra push to roaring orange flames which formed patterns across the sky. Fire was fascinating to watch; it had a spell like running water. Flame sang and conducted its own orchestra simultaneously. It can’t be long now, I thought, until the real noise comes. Ernie O’Malley, The Singing Flame 1 It is regrettable that so articulate an eyewitness as Ernie O’Malley (1897– 1959), sometime Irish revolutionary and self-styled aesthete, should have been utterly insensible to the iniquity of the event he describes: the cataclysmic fire at the Four Courts, Dublin, in 1922. 2 O’Malley’s ‘munitions block’ was in reality the record treasury of the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), part of the Four Courts complex occupied by IRA ‘Irregulars’ during the Easter vacation of 1922.

  • SN:5694 - Electronic Edition of Domesday Book: Translation, Databases and Scholarly Commentary, 1086
    This document has been created by the History Data Service and is based on information supplied by the depositor SN:5694 - Electronic Edition of Domesday Book: Translation, Databases and Scholarly Commentary, 1086 Bibliography This is not a reading list for Domesday Book and is in no way intended to supplant Bates, A Bibliography of Domesday Book (1986), which can be supplemented by Hallam, 'Some Current Domesday Research Trends and Recent Publications', in Hallam and Bates, Domesday Book, pp. 191-198. The present list contains fuller details of books and articles cited in the notes where they have been given only short titles. This is essentially a working bibliography for those re-editing the Phillimore printed edition of Domesday Book and some books and articles are included relating to counties whose revision has yet to be published. The whole bibliography will receive a full revision, when completed. It has been the policy of this revision to expand all abbreviations (so, for example, UVL is now 'ultra-violet lamp'). The only remaining abbreviation of a book-title is VCH (Victoria County History). Contibutors to the notes are, however, referred to by their initials: Books and Articles cited in the Notes • Abels, 'Introduction', Bedfordshire Domesday ... R.P. Abels, 'An Introduction to the Bedfordshire Domesday', A. Williams and G. H. Martin (eds.), The Bedfordshire Domesday (London, 1991) pp. 1-53 • Abels, 'Introduction', Hertfordshire Domesday ... R.P. Abels, 'An Introduction to the Hertfordshire Domesday', A. Williams and G. H.
