Embellished with COPPER-PLATES. As the Knowledge of ancient Things is pleasant, so is the Ignorance as shameful, and oftentimes exposes Men to the Scorn and Contempt of Strangers. Preface to Somner’s Antiq. of Canterbury. ROCHESTER: PRINTED AND SOLD BY T. FISHER; SOLD ALSO BY S. CROWDER, BOOKSELLER, IN PATER-NOSTER- ROW, LONDON, MDCCLXXII. <ii> <blank> <iii> ADVERTISEMENT. IN the ensuing work, very frequent are the references to the Registrum Roffense, a book published by John Thorpe esq; from the accurate MSS. of his father Dr. Thorpe, who was no less eminent for his knowledge of anti= quities, than for his skill in physic: it would be ungratefull in the editor to omit acknowledging, how much labor and ex= pence he has saved, by having an opportunity of examining in print, this curious and valuable collection of ancient deeds. He is likewise obliged to the reverend Mr. Austen of Ro= chester, for some very usefull and entertaining articles of infor= mation; and it is not without regret that he finds himself not at liberty to insert the names of several other ingenious and learned gentlemen, who have contributed their assistance; and especially of one, whose name would do honor to any publica= tion; and by whose friendly communications, the editor has been enabled to give a clearer and more circumstantial account of some part of the ecclesiastical history of this city, and the neighboring district, than he could otherwise have done. <iv> Ancient Walls and Streets 1 Civil History 7 The Castle 19 The Bridge 41 The Cathedral 57 The Priory; its dissolution, and the establishment of the Dean and Chapter 74 A list of the Bishops 104 The Grammar School *198 St. Nicholas Church 201 St. Catharine’s Hospital in Eastgate 211 Mr. Watts’s Charity 215 Mr. Readye’s Gift 219 Mr. Gunsley’s Charity 221 Sir John Hayward’s Charity 222 Mr. Brooker’s Charity 224 Dr. Lamplugh’s Gift ibid.

  • The Cathedral Priory of St. Andrew, Rochester
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society THE CATHEDRAL PRIORY OF ST. ANDREW, ROCHESTER By ANNE M. OAKLEY, M.A. THE church of St. Andrew the Apostle, Rochester, was founded by Ethelbert, King of Kent, as a college for a small number of secular canons under Justus, Bishop of Rochester, in A.D. 604. Very httle is known about the history of this house. It never seems to have had much influence outside its own walls, and though it possessed considerable landed estates, seems to have been relatively small and poor. It also suffered at the hands of the Danes. Bishops Justus, Romanus, Pauhnus and Ithamar were all remarkable men, but after Bishop Putta's transla- tion to Hereford in 676, very Httle is heard of Rochester. Their bishop, Siweard, is not mentioned as having been at Hastings with King Harold as were many of the Saxon bishops and abbots, and the house put up no opposition to William I when he seized their lands and gave them to his half brother Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, whom he had created Earl of Kent. The chroniclers say that the house was destitute, and that, when Siweard died in 1075, it was barely able to support the five canons on the estabHshment.1 Four years after his conquest of England, Wilham I invited his friend Lanfranc, Prior of Caen and a former monk of Bee in Normandy, to be bis archbishop at Canterbury. Lanfranc's task was specific: to reorganize EngHsh monasticism on the pattern of Bee; to develop a strict cloistered monasticism, but one of a kind that was not entirely cut off by physical barriers from the Hfe of the rest of the church.

  • The Movement for the Reformation of Manners, 1688-1715
    THE MOVEMENT FOR THE REFORMATION OF MANNERS, 1688-1715 ANDREW GORDON CRAIG 1980 (reset and digitally formatted 2015) PREFACE TO THE 2015 VERSION This study was completed in the pre-digital era and since then has been relatively inaccessible to researchers. To help rectify that, the 1980 typescript submitted for the degree of PhD from Edinburgh University has been reset and formatted in Microsoft “Word” and Arial 12pt as an easily readable font and then converted to a read-only PDF file for circulation. It is now more compact than the original typescript version and fully searchable. Some minor typographical errors have been corrected but no material published post-1980 has been added except in the postscript (see below). Pagination in the present version does not correspond to the original because of computerised resetting of the text. Footnotes in this version are consecutive throughout, rather than chapter by chapter as required in the 1980 version. The original bound copy is lodged in Edinburgh University Library. A PDF scan of it is available at https://www.era.lib.ed.ac.uk /bitstream/handle/1842/6840/254333.pdf A further hand-corrected copy is available together with my research archive in the Special Collections Department at St Andrews University Library. http://www.st- andrews.ac.uk/library/specialcollections/ A note for researchers interested in the movement for the reformation of manners 1688-1715 and afterwards has been added as a postscript which lists other studies which have utilised this work and its sources in various ways. I am grateful to the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland for its generous scholarship support while a research student at Edinburgh University undertaking this study in the 1970s and to the following for their encouragement, guidance and support during the creation and completion of this research.

  • Ment in the Plan of the Eastern Limb of Any One
    NOTES ON THE HOLY BLOOD OF HAYLES.1 By W. H. ST. JOHN HOPE, M.A. Those who have given any attention to the develop- ment in the plan of the eastern limb of any one of our great cathedral, collegiate, or monastic churches are aware that, apart from the question of adding a lady chapel, any important eastern extension is usually due to the desire to build a chapel for the tomb or shrine of some person of great or particular sanctity connected with the church. Chichester, Ely, Rochester, Wells, Lincoln and Lichfield, Winchester and Worcester all afford examples, and to them may be added the most notable of all, the metropolitan church of Canterbury, concerning which we have the explicit statement of Gervase that William the Englishman in 1179 laid the foundation for the enlarge- ment of the church at the eastern part, because a chapel of St. Thomas was to be built there. To these and many others that could easily be named there has been added within the last few years another remarkable and unsuspected example in the Cistercian abbey of Hayles. The site of this was excavated by the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society in 1899 and carefully planned by Mr. Brakspear the following year, when it was found that the original square east end of the church had been replaced by a rounded apse with an outer ring of five polygonal chapels. In the middle of this uncommon arrangement was a rough block of masonry which had clearly formed the base of a shrine.

Daniel Defoe’s Moral and Political Thought in Its Religious Context Chienyuen Chen PhD Thesis The University of Edinburgh 2019 2 Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the religious ideas of the famous English journalist and novelist Daniel Defoe. Today, Defoe is best remembered as a novelist, but most of his works are non-fictional works including a sizable number of didactic or supernatural writings. Even though there is a rising scholarly interest in Defoe’s thoughts on subjects such as politics or Puritanism, there is hardly a single monograph devoted to Defoe’s religious ideas. This thesis aims to fill the gap by examining Defoe’s works throughout his career. It demonstrates that Defoe’s Presbyterian upbringing was influential in his emphasis on the ideas of good work, practical godliness, and the development of good habits.
