[ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.] PREFACE. IT has been said that a man need not be very clever to write history, provided he has ascertained his facts. Encouraged by this observation, founded probably on the well-known saying that “facts speak for themselves”; and without any pretension to literary ability, the humble collector of historical facts connected with his native village, church, and parish, now ventures to publish in two volumes the result of his many years’ patient research. This work is the outcome of “a labour of love,” a sentiment ever cherished by the writer for the old place of his birth and the venerable church which adorns it. He owes its accomplishment, he is thankful to say, to opportune leisure and continued health, granted by an ever-gracious Providence—blessings always to be held in grateful remembrance. The Rector of Barkham, author of “English Villages,” tells us that “to write a complete history of any village is one of the hardest literary labours which anyone can undertake. “ The soil is hard, and the crop, after the expenditure of much toil, is often very scanty; in many cases, the records are few and difficult to discover, buried amidst the mass of papers at the Record Office, or entombed in some dusty corner of the Diocesan Registry,” and, we may add, the library of the British Museum. “Days may be spent in search for these treasures of knowledge with regard to the past history of a village, without any adequate result; but sometimes fortune favours the industrious toiler, and he discovers a rich ore which rewards him for all his pains. “Shortly his store of facts grows, and he is at last able to piece together the history of his little rural world, which time and the neglect of past generations had consigned to dusty oblivion. “In recent years several village histories have been written, with varied success, by both competent and incompetent scribes; but such books are few in number, and we still have to deplore the fact that so little is known about the hamlet in which we live. “All writers seem to join in the same lament, and mourn over the ignorance that prevails in rural England with regard to the treasures of antiquity, history, and folk-lore, which are to be found almost everywhere. “There are few villages in England which have no objects of historical interest, no relics of the past which are worthy of preservation. “ And a great service may be rendered, not only to the cause of history, but also to the villages of rural England, by those who have time, leisure, and learning sufficient to gain some knowledge of bygone times; it adds greatly to the interest of their lives to know something of the place where they live. “ To live in memory of what has gone before, of the lives and customs of our forefathers, of the strange events that have happened on the very ground upon which we are standing—all this will make us love our village homes and delight in them exceedingly.” These notes by the Rector of Barkham are very interesting, and we are glad to say that our own notes throw some light, not only on the history of Deane village, church, and parish, in the old days, but also upon the times generally to which they refer. And it is not without pleasure that, to use another’s words, “ we rescue some quaint old document from the dust of ages, and that we arrest the floating memories of men and things as they pass down the stream of time toward the ocean of oblivion.” Our hobby—for so we may call it—has been to rescue from oblivion whatever may tend to elucidate the history of bygone days, and to show us what our village, church, and parish were in the past. With the study of our local history we have, whenever it seemed desirable, combined that of our country so far as it relates to the times and events contemporaneous with those herein recorded under Deane, Church, and Parish. And in compiling this work, we have sought, in a plain and continuous narrative, to present a true and readable account of the records and traditions in question. Submitted, at sundry stages, to friends, the manuscript has met with encouraging comments, as may be seen from the following extracts taken from their letters :— “I have,” says a lady, “read your manuscript, and I am greatly interested in a lot of the information. “The part about the Cistercians I enjoyed immensely. “I think it very readable and a very concise manuscript, for I notice the knowledge has been picked up from so many sources which are utterly unreachable to the ordinary reader. “I trust we shall not have long to wait for its appearance in print.” A well-known and respected citizen of Bolton makes the following remarks:— “I have made a very careful perusal of your excellent work, and I do not know that I could suggest any amendment in any form. “ It is concise, easy to understand, and, I have no doubt, thoroughly accurate; and everything contained in the work, so far as it goes, leads up to what I have no doubt will be delightful reading when ready. “I must congratulate you on your wonderful perseverance and literary ability, for the amount and quality of what is already prepared is evidence of enormous effort. “Let me have the first opportunity, if possible, of saying I will gladly become a subscriber, and, when I get it complete, no book shall have a more honoured place on my bookshelves than this one. “May your great and praiseworthy efforts be crowned with abundant success.” “The more I see of these documents,” writes an old friend at a distance, “the more I wonder how you have managed to get together such a mass of valuable information, the result of research of the most persevering character, and which could only have been done by one who had possessed himself of the most intimate knowledge, and had a most heartfelt love for the place of which it treats in such a lucid and interesting fashion. “Sure I am that the good folks of Deane ought to treasure such a wealth of history and tradition regarding their old church and its vicinity.” Well, it has been said that “the dearest spot to any man was the spot in which he was born,” and the writer can truly say that in every place where he has been, in every post he has filled, the thought of Deane has always been at the back of his mind.

    The Economic Problems ofthe See of York: Decline and Recovery in the Sixteenth Century By CLAIRE CROSS A LEGEND has long persisted that the temporalities of the see of York suffered disastrously at the time of the Reformation through spoliation by the crown. Unembellished evidence confirms that in the decade between 1536 and 1546 Archbishops Edward Lee and Robert Holgate surren dered to Henry VIII avery large part of their ancient episcopal lands and that vast north^n estates, which the archbishops of York had possessed since long before the Conquest, passed permanently into royal ownership. Yet some early York historians have been reluctant to admit that the crown granted to the see ecclesiastical revenues, chiefly arising from the recently dissolved monasteries, in at least partial recompense for the lands the two successive archbishops had renouiKed. Undoubtedly during the middle years of the sixteenth century the see of York underwent aperiod of serious economic disruption but it seems that the archbishops did not have to face a lasting catastrophic fall in their income. Indeed, by 1600 the archbishop of York received an income from temporalities nominally equal to the income his predecessor had enjoyed in 1530- What had changed, and this had long-term consequences both religious subsequent history ofthesee, was the source ofthis revenue.

Smith Analysis of current pastoral care practice, particularly of Christian pastoral care providers and chaplains, reveals a contemporary lacuna in Christian theological frameworks which contributes to North American Christians’ inability to connect a theological understanding of death with the experience of their human finitude despite the presence of considerable literature on death and dying. This gap deprives many Christians of the possibility of finding a unique and specific source of hope and strength within their own faith tradition for facing crisis.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

At a Meeting of the SURTBBS SOCIETY, held in Durham Castle on Tuesday, December 3rd, 1901, the DEAN OP DURHAM in the chair, It was resolved, That a volume of North Country Wills from the Registers at Somerset House be edited for the Society by Mr. J.

THE SUETEES SOCIETY has printed a good many volumes of abstracts of Wills, more or less full, from the registries at York, Durham, and Richmond, which its members seem to have appreciated. There are, however, many wills of Northern persons proved in the Prerogative Court of Canter- bury, which are now at Somerset House, and a few in the Library at Lambeth Palace. These till lately have not been thoroughly examined, probably on account of the great labour in looking through so many manuscript calendars. " Some few were printed by Canon Raine in Testa- menta Eboracensia,"* and some short abstracts are " in .Nicolas' Testamenta Vetusta," a book which came out as long since as 1826, but which is now scarce.

Furthermore, I declare that it has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification. Abstract This thesis investigates several key aspects of warfare and its participants in the Viking Age insular world via a comparison of the image which warriors occupy in heroic literature to their concomitant depiction in sources which are primarily non- literary in character, such as histories, annalistic records, and law codes. Through this method, the thesis seeks to add to the scholarship regarding organized violence in this era in two principle manners.
