A dagger (†) prefixed signifies that there are sufficient remains to interest an archaeologist. No attention is paid to mere mounds or grass-covered heaps. For these marks as to remains the author is not responsible. They have kindly been contributed by Rev. Dr. Cox and Mr. W. H. St. John Hope, who desire it to be known that they do not in any way consider these marks exhaustive ; they merely represent those remains with which one or other, or both, are personally acquainted.

  • Late Anglo-Saxon Finds from the Site of St Edmund's Abbey R. Gem, L. Keen
    LATE ANGLO-SAXON FINDS FROM THE SITE OF ST EDMUND'S ABBEY by RICHARD GEM, M.A., PH.D., F.S.A. AND LAURENCE KEEN, M.PHIL., F.S.A., F.R.HIST.S. DURING SITE CLEARANCE of the eastern parts of the church of St Edmund's Abbey by the then Ministry of Works, followingtheir acceptance of the site into guardianship in 1955, two groups of important Anglo-Saxon material were found, but have remained unpublished until now. These comprise a series of fragments of moulded stone baluster shafts and a number of polychrome relief tiles. These are illustrated' and discussed here; it is concluded that the baluster shafts belong to around the second quarter of the 11th century or shortly thereafter; and that the tiles belong to the same period or, possibly, to the 10th century. HISTORY OF THE BUILDINGS OF ME LATE ANGLO-SAXON ABBEY The Tenth-Centwy Minster Whatever weight may be attached to the tradition that a minster was found at Boedericeswirdein the 7th century by King Sigberct, there can be little doubt that the ecclesiastical establishment there only rose to importance in the 10th century as a direct result of the translation to the royal vill of the relics of King Edmund (ob. 870);2this translation is recorded as having taken place in the reign of King Aethelstan (924 —39).3 Abbo of Fleury, writing in the late 10th century, saysthat the people of the place constructed a 'very large church of wonderful wooden plankwork' (permaxima miro ligneo tabulatu ecclesia) in which the relics were enshrined.' Nothing further is known about this building apart from this one tantalising reference.

  • First Evidence of Farming Appears; Stone Axes, Antler Combs, Pottery in Common Use
    BC c.5000 - Neolithic (new stone age) Period begins; first evidence of farming appears; stone axes, antler combs, pottery in common use. c.4000 - Construction of the "Sweet Track" (named for its discoverer, Ray Sweet) begun; many similar raised, wooden walkways were constructed at this time providing a way to traverse the low, boggy, swampy areas in the Somerset Levels, near Glastonbury; earliest-known camps or communities appear (ie. Hembury, Devon). c.3500-3000 - First appearance of long barrows and chambered tombs; at Hambledon Hill (Dorset), the primitive burial rite known as "corpse exposure" was practiced, wherein bodies were left in the open air to decompose or be consumed by animals and birds. c.3000-2500 - Castlerigg Stone Circle (Cumbria), one of Britain's earliest and most beautiful, begun; Pentre Ifan (Dyfed), a classic example of a chambered tomb, constructed; Bryn Celli Ddu (Anglesey), known as the "mound in the dark grove," begun, one of the finest examples of a "passage grave." c.2500 - Bronze Age begins; multi-chambered tombs in use (ie. West Kennet Long Barrow) first appearance of henge "monuments;" construction begun on Silbury Hill, Europe's largest prehistoric, man-made hill (132 ft); "Beaker Folk," identified by the pottery beakers (along with other objects) found in their single burial sites. c.2500-1500 - Most stone circles in British Isles erected during this period; pupose of the circles is uncertain, although most experts speculate that they had either astronomical or ritual uses. c.2300 - Construction begun on Britain's largest stone circle at Avebury. c.2000 - Metal objects are widely manufactured in England about this time, first from copper, then with arsenic and tin added; woven cloth appears in Britain, evidenced by findings of pins and cloth fasteners in graves; construction begun on Stonehenge's inner ring of bluestones.

  • ASPECTS of Tile MONASTIC PATRONAGE of Tile ENGLISH
    ASPECTS OF TIlE MONASTIC PATRONAGE OF TIlE ENGLISH AND FRENCH ROYAL HOUSES, c. 1130-1270 by Elizabeth M. Hallani VC i% % Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in History presented at the University of London. 1976. / •1 ii SUMMARY This study takes as its theme the relationship of the English and French kings and the religious orders, £.1130-1270, Patronage in general is a field relatively neglected in the rich literature on the monastic life, and royal patronage has never before been traced over a broad period for both France and England. The chief concern here is with royal favour shown towards the various orders of monks and friars, in the foundations and donations made by the kings. This is put in the context of monastic patronage set in a wider field, and of the charters and pensions which are part of its formaL expression. The monastic foundations and the general pattern of royal donations to different orders are discussed in some detail in the core of the work; the material is divided roughly according to the reigns of the kings. Evidence from chronicles and the physical remains of buildings is drawn upon as well as collections of charters and royal financial documents. The personalities and attitudes of the monarchs towards the religious hierarchy, the way in which monastic patronage reflects their political interests, and the contrasts between English and French patterns of patronage are all analysed, and the development of the royal monastic mausoleum in Western Europe is discussed as a special case of monastic patronage. A comparison is attempted of royal and non-royal foundations based on a statistical analysis.

  • The Case of the Beaulieu Abbey
    acoustics Article An Archaeoacoustics Analysis of Cistercian Architecture: The Case of the Beaulieu Abbey Sebastian Duran *, Martyn Chambers * and Ioannis Kanellopoulos * School of Media Arts and Technology, Solent University (Southampton), East Park Terrace, Southampton SO14 0YN, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] (S.D.); [email protected] (M.C.); [email protected] (I.K.) Abstract: The Cistercian order is of acoustic interest because previous research has hypothesized that Cistercian architectural structures were designed for longer reverberation times in order to reinforce Gregorian chants. The presented study focused on an archaeoacacoustics analysis of the Cistercian Beaulieu Abbey (Hampshire, England, UK), using Geometrical Acoustics (GA) to recreate and investigate the acoustical properties of the original structure. To construct an acoustic model of the Abbey, the building’s dimensions and layout were retrieved from published archaeology research and comparison with equivalent structures. Absorption and scattering coefficients were assigned to emulate the original room surface materials’ acoustics properties. CATT-Acoustics was then used to perform the acoustics analysis of the simplified building structure. Shorter reverbera- tion time (RTs) was generally observed at higher frequencies for all the simulated scenarios. Low speech intelligibility index (STI) and speech clarity (C50) values were observed across Abbey’s nave section. Despite limitations given by the impossibility to calibrate the model according to in situ measurements conducted in the original structure, the simulated acoustics performance suggested Citation: Duran, S.; Chambers, M.; how the Abbey could have been designed to promote sacral music and chants, rather than preserve Kanellopoulos, I.

There have, not unexpectedly, been considerable archival losses too, as some later vacancy inventories at York make clear: the Durham sede vacante register of Alexander Neville (1381) and accompanying visitation records; the York sede vacante register after Neville’s own translation in 1388; the register of Thomas Arundel (only the register of his vicars-general survives today), and the register of Robert Waldby (likewise only his vicar-general’s register is now extant) have all long disappeared.1 Some of these would also have included records of ordinations, now missing from the chronological sequence.

  • Page Mr Richard Price Case Officer A303 Stonehenge
    Andrew C J Rhind-Tutt Friday 3rd May 2019 Mr Richard Price Case Officer A303 Stonehenge - Planning Inspectorate Via email to [email protected] and [email protected] My registration number 20020846 Dear Sirs, Objection to the application by Highways England for an Order Granting Development Consent for the A303 Amesbury to Berwick Down – TR010025 I am the founding chairman of the Amesbury Museum and Heritage Trust, president of Salisbury & District Chamber of Commerce and Industry, former councillor and Mayor of Amesbury and a direct descendant of a previous owner of Stonehenge. I am also a highway engineer, with senior level experience in road & lighting maintenance. I have served on many planning committees, dealing with large and complicated applications and as being a property developer I am a fully qualified, NHBC approved construction engineer. This letter sets out my written representations of the objections I wish to raise at the enquiry in accordance with your rule 8 letter dated 11th April 2019. My observations are in direct response to the initial announcement of the proposal and the details within the subsequent application documents by Highways England, which include their case for the scheme. My first observation to the planning proposal is to question the objective of the scheme. If I may remind ourselves what the Prime Minister David Cameron (Conservative) said when he visited Stonehenge hours after an early morning visit by deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat) on 1st December 2014, promising £2 billion shortly before launching the 2015 general election campaign. The Prime Minister claimed there was now an 'unstoppable momentum' behind the scheme.

  • Collegiate Churches, Ten Priories, and Six Nunneries, Whilst the Massive Remains of Fourteen Military Strongholds Are Still More Or Less Evident
    ST.AFFORDSRIR~, Collegiate Churches, ten Priories, and six Nunneries, whilst the massive remains of fourteen military strongholds are still more or less evident. The Benedictines early established themselves at Burton Abbey, in 1002, and at the Priory of Lapley a few years afterwards. 1'hey also had foundations at the Abbey of Calwich, and the Priories ofTutbury, Blythe­ bury, Can well, and Sand well, together with the Nunneries of Farewell and Blackladies. The Augustinian Canons built the Abbeys of Ronton and Roccster, and had besides the Priories of Trentham, Stone, Stafford and St. Thomas at Lichfield. The Cistercian Order boasted of the three Abbeys of Croxden, Abbey Hulton, and Dieu la Cresse and they also . had a monastery at Radmore, in the forest of Cannock. The Cluniac monks never gained a footing in the county, but the remains of Dudley Priory, founded in 1140, just outside the border line still assert their near presence. Of the various orders of Friars, the Grey Friars were repre­ sented at Lichfield and Stafford, the Austin Friars at Stafford only. 1'he Knights Templar had a Preceptory at Keele, and also lands at Stoke. In Parish Churches, however, Staffordshire was not so richly endowed as many other counties, the approximate numbers, at the time of "the Domesday Survey, amounting only to about 28 or 30, though during the later Norman period the number increased at a rapid rate. The following were formerly Collegiate Churches, viz., . ·wol verhampton, Tettenhall, Gnosall, Lichfield, Penkridge, Stafford, &c. Tho mcdimval military remains comprise the Castles of Stafford, Wednesbmy, Chartley, Dudley, Alton, 1'utbury, Eccleshall, Caverswall, Heyleigh, Lichfield, Chesterton, N ~w­ castle, Stourton, and Audley, some of which have absolutely disappeared, whilst others frown formidably even in their ruin.

T he Council greatly regret that owing to various circum­ stances the publications have fallen very much behindhand in the order of their publication, but they trust that in the future the Members will have no reason to complain on this score. The Index of Obituary Notices for 1882 is ready and will be in the Members’ hands immediately. The Index for 1883 is nearly ready, and this with the Index to Archaeological Journals and Transactions, upon which Mr. Gomme has been engaged for some time, will complete the publications for 1884. The Index of the Biographical and Obituary Notices in the Gentleman’s Magazine for the first fifty years, upon which Mr. Farrar is engaged, has occupied an amount of time in revision considerably greater than was expected. This is largely owing to the great differences in the various sets, no two being alike. No one who has not been in the habit of consulting the early volumes of this Magazine con­ stantly can have any idea of the careless manner in which it was printed and the vast amount of irregularity in the pagination. Mr. Farrar has spared no pains in the revision of these points and the Council confidently expect to be able to present Members with the first volume of this im­ portant work in the course of the present year (1885).

    THE ROYAL BURIALS OF THE HOUSE OF YORKAT WINDSOR. II. Princess Mary,May 1482, and Queen Elizabeth Woodville,June 1492.- ANNE F. SUTTON AND LIVIA VISSER—FUCHS Princess Mary, May 1482. Mary, the second daughter of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville, born August 1467, ' was not fifteen when she died at Greenwich' 1n May 1482, in the week before Whit Sunday. Little is known of be; life. The joint households of the infant Princesses Elizabeth and Mary had cost £400 a year when they were very young, and this amount was allowed to the queen by the king} As the second daughter she had been the subject of two marriage negotiations: she had been scheduled to succeed her-elder sister, Elizabeth, as the betrothed of Charles, the Dauphin of France, if Elizabeth died, and in 1481, shortly before her death, she was proposed as a bride for Frederick, King of Denmark. In his will of 1475 Edward IV had left her a portion of 10,000 marks provided she was ruled by her mother the queen in all matters.1 In 1478 she and her sister, Elizabeth, had attended the reburial of their grandfather, Richard, Duke of York,“ but in 1480 she apparently did not attend the Garter ceremonies of that year with her mother and sisters, Elizabeth and Cecily.’ There is confusion about the date of Mary’s death. Both the'Monday“ (20 May) and the Thursday’ (23 May) ‘before Whit Sunday’ are given by the surviving copies of the narrative of her burial,“ though they agree on the dates of her burial: 446 the Monday and Tuesday in Whitsun Week, 27-28 May.9 Edward IV was at Canterbury on 17 May, and back in London on 23 May, and may have seen his dying daughter between those dates.
