JAMES M. WILSON, D.D CANON AND VICE DEAN LONDON SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE NEW YORK : THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1920 PRINTED AT THE COMPLETE PRESS WEST NORWOOD, LONDON TO THE READER It is a mad world, my masters, in which the pupil is asked to commend the achievements of his instructors. But that is what is being required of me now. Some years ago I began to teach myself to decipher the Westminster account-rolls. Dean Armitage Robin- son was urging me to it, but declined, quite rightly, to take me seriously, till I had made some progress on my own resources. " Look at Wilson, taking up an entirely new subject at his age ! You ought to be ashamed of yourself to let Westminster be left behind." And so on. Well, in actual fact I did look at Wilson, and derived endless help from his edition of the early Worcester compoti ; so much so that Dean Armitage Robinson gave me good marks and placed his own immense researches at my disposal. However, all that is over now, I fear, and here I am presuming to comply with a request from my master that I should say something by way of intro- duction to his latest labours, though, I am sure, not his last. Nobody, at any rate, can be more sensible than I of the delight of dealing with a great miscellany like the Liber Albus. At Westminster we were in favour of the opposite hue ; we had our Liber Niger Quaternus. But that was a fifteenth-century production. Canon Wilson's treasure, which he here puts at the reader's disposal, goes back nearer to the great times of the Westminster " Domesday " chartulary (roughly, a.d. 1300). The difference between studying account-rolls and browsing in a chartulary is the difference between Principia Latina in school hours and Fenimore Cooper TO THE READER during an interval. In the one case the method is rigid, and the only hope of a " find " of any interest is to follow the method closely ; in the other, you can never tell from page to page upon what exciting adventure you may be launched. It is in this spirit that, as I hope, the reader will approach the White Book of Worcester in my honoured friend's company, not without a prayer that Canon Wilson may still be spared to the world that he loves and to the manv who love him.

The Fabric of the Cathedral 277 Index to Principal Items 281 XI INTRODUCTION Abundant materials exist in print for any one who wishes to study mediaeval monastic life in England from original records. Such records have been pub- lished under a variety of names in the Rolls Series, and by the Camden and Surtees and other societies ; or printed for their subscribers by local historical societies, as Chronicles, Histories of Monasteries, Cartularies, Annals, Lives, Consuetudinaries, Registers, Compotus Rolls, etc. But I know of only one such published Record that has much resemblance to the Liber Albus of the Priory of Worcester which furnishes the materials for the present volume. The Record I refer to is the Literce Cantuarienses, edited in 1887 and 1888 for the Rolls Series by the ever-to-be- remembered lover of Canterbury, Dr. Sheppard. That work consists of two 8vo volumes, each of over 500 pages, containing a selection from the documents entered in the Register of the monastery of Christ Church Canterbury by its chancellors. Dr. Shep- pard's selection gives nearly 1000 documents, a majority of them being letters, all but the first few bearing dates from a.d. 1320 to 1373. Our Liber Albus covers from a.d. 1301 to 1446, and the selection of letters in this volume is taken solely from the years 1301 to 1338.

    To Plant and Improve: Justifying the Consolidation of Tudor and Stuart Rule in Ireland, 1509 to 1625 Samantha Watson A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Languages Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences September 2014 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Watson First name: Samantha Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Humanities and Languages Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Title: To plant and improve: justifying the consolidation of Tudor and Stuart rule in Ireland, 1509 to 1625. Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) This thesis aims to examine the ideologies employed in justifying English conquest and plantation of Ireland between 1509 and 1625. It adopts the methodology of a contextualist intellectual history, which situates the sources within the intellectual and material world, and in relation to the publically approved paradigms, available to the authors. The thesis encompasses a range of source material - correspondence, policy papers and published tracts - from major and minor figures in government and undertakers of colonisation schemes. The source material will be examined with respect to the major upheavals in intellectual culture in late medieval and early modern England and, in particular, the impact of major pan- European movements, the Protestant Reformation and the Renaissance. Focussing on the ethics associated with the spread of Renaissance humanism and Calvinist Protestantism, it explores socio-political ideas in England and examines the ways that these ideas were expressed in relation to Ireland.

A great mass of material has of late years been brought within reach of the student, bearing upon the history of the religious life and customs of the English people during the period from their conversion, in the sixth and seventh centuries, down to the Reformation of the Church of England in the sixteenth century; but this material is still to be found only in great libraries, and is therefore hardly within reach of the general reader. The following chapters contain the results of some study of the subject among the treasures of the library of the British Museum; much of those results, it is believed, will be new, and all, it is hoped, useful, to the large number of general readers who happily, in these days, take an intelligent interest in English Church history.

The earliest reference is in the Crown Survey of Lands, taken in 1540-41, after the dissolution of the monasteries, where it was recorded as Newton; and in 1569 as The Newton. In 1635 it was recorded as Cowlocknewton, in the Chancery Inquisitions. Newtown is in the Electoral Division of Coolock, in the Civil Parish of Coolock, in the Barony of Coolock, in the County of Dublin, one of the first baronies ever defined or set out in Ireland. Newtown is bordered by the following:1 ● Balgriffin to the east ● Belcamp to the north ● Darndale to the west ● Oldtown to the west 1 www.townlands.ie 1 ● Tonlegee to the south In this report we have set out examples of historical names associated with Newtown together with their origins and relevance. These examples are highlighted and italicised in the text, as potential names for your development.

The name Collock is thought to be derived from An Chúlóg - ‘the small or little corner’. In the time after the Anglo-Norman conquest, Coolock developed as a manor-church.
