The Early Life of Thomas Wolsey 458 July The Early Life of Thomas Wolsey Downloaded from UST below Ipswich, the Gipping, from which the town takes part J of its name, or Orwell as it is sometimes called, after having rolled through more than half its course in insignificant obscurity, rapidly broadens and deepens, and thence sweeps magnificently on till, narrowing a little and mingling its waters with those of the http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ Stour, it disappears in the North Sea. Strangely similar to this was the career of the greatest son of Ipswich, Thomas Wolsey. Of the first forty years of his life we know comparatively little, though they form almost two-thirds of his earthly existence. Then, to appear- ance quite suddenly, the stream of his life and fortune swiftly gains in breadth and depth, and flows on expanding its glassy surface to the golden sun of favour, sounding ' all the depths and shoals of honour,' till, with contracted course, at last it vanishes in at Georgetown University on July 24, 2015 the great sea of time. Owing precisely to its obscurity, the early period has a strong attraction for the Btudent of history. Wolsey's father, and Wolsey himself so long as he used his own surname, wrote it Wulcy. Originally it seems to have been a diminutive form of WvJf, and to have been spelt Wulfsi, si being the diminutive particle.1 The lupine derivation was still remembered in Wolsey's day, for Skelton speaks of the ' wolfs head' gaping above the crown, and puns in Latin upon the name marts lupus; while Tyndale girds at' this wily wolf and raging sea.' In early English times the name seems to have been a comparatively common one. All who owned it were clearly descended from the Teutonic people who, a thousand years before Wolsey's era, swarmed over to England from the mouths of the Weser and Elbe, and went to form the North-folk and South-folk. It was amongst those latter folk that there grew up the port of Ipswich. In the reign of Elizabeth it is spoken of as ' a place of considerable trade, very populous, adorned with fourteen churches and with large handsome houses,' * and, from all that can be learned,, that description was equally applicable in Wolsey's time. In fact, 1 Robert Ferguson, The Teutonic Name-System, 71. • Oough's Camden'a Britannia, ii 75. 1888 THE EARLY LIFE OF THOMAS WOLSEY 459 Suffolk was one of the wealthy eastern counties, having been, with Norfolk, from a very early date, ' the great and well-known centre of textile industry in England.' * Hence, without doubt, arose the trade and wealth of Ipswich. There during the reign of Edward IV, if not earlier, lived Eobert Wolsey and Joan his wife, the parents of the future cardinal. Ac- cording to tradition they resided ' in St. Nicholas street, on the left hand going down, at the left corner of a little avenue leading to the churchyard' of the church of St. Nicholas.4 The spot thus indi- cated is still easily identifiable, though it is now occupied by a wholly modern brick house. The commonly received opinion is that Eobert Wolsey was by trade a butcher. But the opinion rests Downloaded from on no proved foundation. The assertion was made and was never denied, that is all. It first appears in Skelton's ' Speak, Parrot!' published about 1521, and was repeated by him in his ' Why come ye not to Court ? ' It is found in a ballad to which Mr. Furnivall gives the date of 1522 or 1528,8 again in Roy's ' Bead me and be http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ not wroth,' and, as a matter of course, in Hall and Vergil. On the other hand Sebastian Giustinian, for four yearB Venetian ambassador to England, in his report made to the senate in 1519 simply says Wolsey was ' of low origin,' a statement repeated in other words by a successor of Giustinian's.6 Towards the end of 1515 a petition was presented to Henry VJJJ. by Wolsey's nephew in which Wolsey's father is spoken of as at Georgetown University on July 24, 2015 ' Bobert Wulcy, late of Sternfield by Farnham.'7 Sternfield is an agricultural village in Suffolk about twenty-four miles from Ipswich. The words of the petition prove Bobert Wolsey to have lived there, probably in the earlier portion of his life, a probability further strengthened by another statement in this same petition, namely that a daughter of his married a man from Sibton, which lies six miles from Sternfield. If Eobert Wolsey was a native of Sternfield, his occupation was almost certainly agricultural. The next point in the case is a very interesting one. Grove, who issued the first volume of his ' Life and TimeB of Cardinal Wolsey' in 1742, made two journeys to Ipswich in quest of information respecting Wolsey's- father, and he sums up all he was able to learn in these words: ' In fine, upon a new and strict inquiry, several gentlemen in Suffolk are of opinion that Wolsey's father was in truth a reputable grazier in the town of Ipswich, and not a butcher poor and as many have asserted.'8 This is all the more valuable since Grove was totally ignorant of the petition above quoted.

Singer's Cavendish, L 4, note 2; Grove, i. 9. 460 THE EARLY LIFE OF THOMAS WOLSEY July wool was England's chief export, and that Suffolk was one of the two great textile manufacturing counties of England itself, we shall find strong cause to doubt the popular version of Robert Wolsey'B vocation. If he was a grazier, it is not difficult to imagine how he came to be termed a butcher. Both trades dealt with sheep and cattle, and it was easy for the heat and passion of the day to turn grazier into butcher, either by mistake or with the intention of making a point against the all-powerful favourite. The well-known words of Cavendish are that Wolsey was ' an honest poor man's son.' Of course 'poor' is an entirely relative word. DoubtlesB, Robert Wolsey was poor when his circumstances are compared with the height of splendour to which his son rose, Downloaded from but in poverty he certainly was not. He was connected with moneyed people, as is indicated by a privy seal of 21 Feb. 1510, by which Edmund Daundy of Ipswich was authorised to found a chantry in St. Lawrence's there to pray for the souls of, among others, his wife, Wolsey, and ' of Robert Wolsye and ^Toan his wife, father and http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ mother of the said Thomas Wolsy.' • This is proof that the Wolseys were related to the Daundys in some way or other. Daundy was a prominent rich and munificent freeman of Ipswich, who had been a member for the town.10 He had several daughters, who all mar- ried well," while his son William took to wife a daughter of Thomas Alford, another opulent and landed citizen of Ipswich." To be con- nected with wealthy folk is in itself some presumption of affluence; and so we find it in this case. Gough, after describing the tradi- at Georgetown University on July 24, 2015 tional residence of Robert Wolsey, previously quoted, adds : ' Other houses his property run up to Creighton the printer's '—run up, that is, from the house inhabited by Robert, which the ' other' demon- strates to have belonged to himself. The whole of this property is referred to in Robert's will as his ' lands and tenements in the parish of St. Nicholas in Ipswich aforesaid.' Nor was that all, for the same document specifies also ' free and bond lands in the parish of St. [Mary] Stoke,' lying opposite Ipswich on the other side of the Orwell.13 All this conclusively proves that Robert, so far from being in poverty, actually belonged to the better clasB of merchants. Robert and Joan had, to our knowledge, three BonsM and a daughter. Of the sons Thomas would appear to have been the eldest. The date to which hitherto, on the authority of Fiddes, his • Brewer, i. 897. " Beauties of England and Wales, xiv. 267. " Stiff. Traveller for 1764, p. 87, quoted in Oeni.

This date supports or con- firms Cavendish's story of Wolsey washing fifty-nine poor men's- feet on Maundy Thursday, 1580, an occasion on which it was cus- tomary for the ablutionist to wash one person for every year of his age. Yet explicit as these statements seem, contemporary evidence is against them.

EXTRAORDINARY MARRIAGES. Among, the many remarkable marriages on record, none are more curious than those in which the bride- groom has proved to be of the same sex as the bride. Last century there lived a woman who dressed in male attire, and was constantly going about captivating her sisters, and marrying them! On the sth of July, 1777, she was tried at a criminal court in London for thus disguising herself, and it was proved that at various times she had been married to three women, and “defrauded them of their money and their clothes.” The fair deceiver was required by the justices to give the daughters of the citizens an opportunity of making themselves acquainted with her features by standing in the pillory at Cheapside: and after going through this ordeal, she was imprisoned for six months.

  • As the 80Th Anniversary of St George's Approaches We Thought It Would Be
    As the 80th Anniversary of St George’s occurred in 2005 we thought it would be timely to update the history of the church, continuing on from the first 50 years so ably written up by the late Ted Burks. To this end we asked members of the congregation for the loan of any old Parish Magazines they may have hoarded and received copies of most issues, apart from 1976 when only two magazines were forthcoming. The September 1976 magazine, which was called Outreach, tells us that Rev Ernest Hepworth was the Parish Priest and the Church Wardens were Frank Barlow and Bill Atkin. Our Organist was Dorrie Webb and the Verger was Dick Taylor. There is also an article about a Family Week held during the week 25 July-1 August. This was led by Sister Christine Goodger and Sister Christine Frazer of the Church Army, assisted by Mr Andrew Entecott, a Church Army Student and also by members of St George’s. A Sung Communion was held on 8 September to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the St George’s Branch of the Mothers Union in this centenary year of the Mothers Union as a whole. The preacher was Mrs Rachel Ollard, the President of the Mothers Union in the Diocese of Lincoln. Members of other branches in the Deanery had been invited and a special display was designed by Frank Barlow. Regular Prayer Meetings were held on Friday evenings to which everyone was invited including members of other churches. The December 1976 magazine records that Alec Parker was elected to serve as Churchwarden in succession to the late Bill Atkin.

  • The Construction of Episcopal Identity: the Meaning and Function of Episcopal Depictions Within Latin Saints’ Lives of the Long Twelfth Century
    1 The Construction of Episcopal Identity: The Meaning and Function of Episcopal Depictions within Latin Saints’ Lives of the Long Twelfth Century Submitted by Matthew Michael Mesley to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, September 2009. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identifie d and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Matthew Michael Mesley ........................................................................................ 2 3 Abstract My PhD offers a reassessment of the representation of English bishops within episcopal vitae composed between 1093 and 1214. It argues that the depiction of episcopal sanctity was shaped by the expectations of the community for which these texts were written and the hagiographer’s specific causa scribendi (reasons for writing). Through an investigation of four distinct Latin episcopal saints’ lives, I investigate the relationship between hagiographical function, episcopal identity and patronage by setting each text within its specific institutional and historical context. The vitae I have selected are: Faricius of Arezzo’s life of Aldhelm (c.1093-1099), William Wycombe’s life of Robert Bethune ( c.1148-1150) and Gerald of Wales’s lives of Remigius ( c.1198-1199) and Hugh of Avalon ( c.1210-1214). One aim of my thesis has been to establish the precise hagiographical function of each text .

  • Personal Assistant to the Dean of Lincoln & to The
    PERSONAL ASSISTANT TO THE DEAN OF LINCOLN & TO THE PRECENTOR OF LINCOLN APPLICATION PACK Inspiring People in Different Ways The Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln (to give it its proper title) is first and foremost a church, the seat of the Bishop of Lincoln and a centre of worship and mission. A minimum of three services take place each day of the year, at least one of which is usually sung by the Cathedral’s renowned choir. It is the principal church of Lincolnshire and holds many of the county-wide services of celebration, commemoration and memorial. Lincoln Cathedral is a place of pilgrimage, where people come to seek God, to learn more about faith, or to take time out of a busy day for quiet reflection. It is a place of welcome and hospitality where all of any faith or no faith are encouraged to feel at home. There is a real richness and variety in the way the Cathedral building is used. Significant musical, dramatic events take place, whether it is a visit from the Halle Orchestra; a performance of the 70’s musical Jesus Christ Superstar; Mystery Plays; or international pop musician Ian Anderson, of Jethro Tull fame, coming to perform. Also there is an active lecture series each year with key speakers offering their insight into current and historical affairs.
