Issue 19: 2020  Patron: Ruth Goodman Issue 19: 2020 OUR OBJECTS To promote the permanent preservation of the battlefield and other sites associated with the Battle of Tewkesbury, 1471, as sites of historic interest, to the benefit of the public generally. To promote the educational possibilities of the battlefield and associated sites, particularly in relation to medieval history. To promote, for public benefit, research into matters associated with the sites, and to publish the useful results of such research. OUR AIMS Working with the owners of the many sites associated with the battle of Tewkesbury, the Society will raise public awareness of the events of the battle and promote the sites as an integrated educational resource. We will encourage tourism and leisure activities by advertising, interpretation and presentation in connection with the sites. We will collate research into the battle and encourage further research, making the results publicly available through a variety of media. In pursuing our objects we will work alongside a variety of organisations in Tewkesbury and throughout the world. We will initiate projects and assist with fundraising and managing them as required. We aim to be the Authority on the battle and battle sites.

Almost everything we do in the Society has been affected in one way or another. Only the monthly walks have been rescued, but even those have been restricted, with pre-booking required. Our primary concern, though, is about 2021. A lot of planning has gone into events for the year, led by the Abbey which has its own anniversary. Some have already been abandoned and the year has shrunk to the months between April and October, when the Abbey was consecrated. Clive Montellier details our hopes for the year below. On the positive side, we’ve used the enforced period of inactivity to look at what we do and are making some fundamental changes. First, we have a new Chair, the first change since the Society was formed, with Richard Goddard taking over the baton. Second, we’re about to launch a new website, which will be much better tailored, we hope, towards the needs of the users, with much more, and more interesting, content; a ‘one-stop shop’ for the battle and battlefield. Third, we’ve taken the decision to revolutionise our membership arrangements. There will, in future, be no fees for membership. Recognising that almost all our members use the internet nowadays we will be using it as our main method of communication, whist still providing paper versions for members who are not computer users. We will still, of course, welcome donations to support our membership services. We hope that by this means we will attract more members and an international membership, which can only be good for the Society. This is a big change but we’re confident that it is a sensible move and a natural progression. It is appropriate that for 2021 we move into a new era to face the new challenges. We hope that you will support us in this. 2 (Back to Contents) 2021 Clive Montellier reviews some of the projects which we’re looking at to commemorate the anniversary of the battle. It won’t have escaped members’ attention that 2021 marks the 550th anniversary of the Battle, along with the 900th anniversary of the consecration of Tewkesbury Abbey. Rather than try to organize one all-embracing multi-tentacled event, groups from across the Town are engaging to put together a programme of smaller events to mark this significant year, and the Society’s committee has been giving some thought to a combination of one-off and lasting projects to make our mark. Plans are still evolving, and because of the problems brought by covid, some might come to fruition after the year itself, but on the basis that a signature anniversary is just the time to launch ambitious, ideas so we’re aiming to get them all moving at the very least. Already coming to life is a conference, to be held on the anniversary weekend, on Saturday 1 May 2021 in the Watson Hall. There are no shortages of Wars of the Roses themed conferences these days, so this one will aim to be unique to Tewkesbury and feature speakers who have something to say not just about the Battle itself but also about the business of preservation and interpretation which is our raison d’etre. We couldn’t have a conference about the Battle so close to the Battlefield itself without including a tour, so that will be the feature event for Sunday 2 May, linking in with the ‘Armour in the Abbey’ event for those who really want to make a weekend of it. Staying with the theme of physical exploration of the Battlefield site, there are (now) longer-term plans for a waymarked walk to follow the route of the Lancastrian Army between Gloucester and Tewkesbury alongside the Severn, with a ‘return’ route following footpaths which predate the current A38, which will be an excellent opportunity to stretch the legs and see the landscape from an entirely fresh perspective. 3 (Back to Contents) As a more lasting symbol of the anniversary, we are hoping to erect another piece of public sculpture to complement the Arrivall horses which have proved such a successful and popular addition to the townscape. In contrast to the monumental and majestic horses, though, we aim to make the next piece much more personal, featuring one of history’s often overlooked influential women, in the shape of Margaret of Anjou. The chosen site for a new installation are on Windmill Hill, adjacent to the present Borough Council offices (from where it is eminently possible Margaret watched the Battle unfold). We have put our proposals to the Borough Council for their support to allow us to begin fundraising in earnest. Also in partnership with the Borough Council, alongside the team at the Gupshill Manor, is a plan to develop a small visitors’ centre in a former garage alongside the pub to make a gateway to the Battlefield, hopefully in conjunction with a new right of way through the brewery’s land behind the pub, offering a much more atmospheric entrance to the Gastons than the current access from the Gloucester Road, which will be part of a long term project to create a ‘heritage park’ around the registered battlefield. On the subject of Battlefield access, we are building on the recent successful Alleys ‘app’ to develop a virtual Battlefield tour for those who can’t make one of our regular guided walks. With GPS-based technology becoming more and more straightforward to use, what would once have been a major, complex and expensive undertaking is now something we can not only develop but also maintain quite easily, and we certainly have a wealth of information in our tour scripts to put to use. This project is developing well, as it is something which is lockdown immune. Finally, 2021 will, we hope, also see a focussed metal-detector exploration of the remaining Gaston fields themselves by one of the country’s leading Battlefield analysts. A proposal is inbound to the Tewkesbury Educational Trust who, as owners of the fields, would be the principal stakeholders, but we are standing by to provide context and lead on fundraising for the work if it gains approval. So, a busy year ahead, Covid permitting. We remain a small band on the Committee, so anyone keen to join in the effort to bring any or all of these projects to fruition would be most welcome! 4 (Back to Contents) Sir Henry Grey, 7th Baron Grey of Codnor (1435 – 1496) While manning the Society’s stall at the Tewkesbury Medieval Festival a while ago, a member of the public informed us that, “Sir Henry Grey of Condor didn’t have balls”. On polite enquiry we ascertained that the gentleman was referring to the coat of arms of Sir Henry Grey of Codnor which appears in our book ‘The Street Banners of Tewkesbury’. There we had shown Sir Henry’s coat of arms as; six alternate horizontal stripes of white and blue with three red balls across the top. When, according to our informer, there should have been only the horizontal stripes and, no balls. We thanked him for his observations and assured him we would look into the matter further after the festival. Subsequent research revealed that he was indeed correct. What we had done was to incorrectly attribute the three red balls to the senior branch of the family from Codnor and it was the later, junior, branches that had them. Barry of six Argent and Azure, in Barry of six Argent and Azure chief three torteaux Gules We have subsequently corrected the illustration in our book. But having started researching Sir Henry Grey of Codnor more information came to 5 (Back to Contents) light and he turned out to be, like so many of his contemporaries, a more interesting character than at first appeared.

    Jnl of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. , No. , July . © Cambridge University Press doi:./S How Useful are Episcopal Ordination Lists as a Source for Medieval English Monastic History? by DAVID E. THORNTON Bilkent University, Ankara E-mail: [email protected] This article evaluates ordination lists preserved in bishops’ registers from late medieval England as evidence for the monastic orders, with special reference to religious houses in the diocese of Worcester, from to . By comparing almost , ordination records collected from registers from Worcester and neighbouring dioceses with ‘conven- tual’ lists, it is concluded that over per cent of monks and canons are not named in the extant ordination lists. Over half of these omissions are arguably due to structural gaps in the surviving ordination lists, but other, non-structural factors may also have contributed. ith the dispersal and destruction of the archives of religious houses following their dissolution in the late s, many docu- W ments that would otherwise facilitate the prosopographical study of the monastic orders in late medieval England and Wales have been irre- trievably lost.

  • Heritage Assets Tyrley
    Loggerheads Parish Tyrley Ward Heritage Assets Tyrley Ward Tyrley A settlement recorded in the Domesday Survey of 1086 “lying within Hodnet Hundred (in Shropshire). William also holds Tyrley of the Earl Roger. Wulfric and Ravensward held it as two manors; they were free. One hide paying tax. There is land for two ploughs. There are four villagers and one slave with one plough. The value was 17 shillings and is now 20 shillings.” Recorded as a suspected lost village situated near the modern settlement of Hales by Bate and Palliser. No date of desertion is given. Jonathan Morris, in his book ‘The Shropshire Union Canal’ (1991), explains the origin of the name Tyrley. Tyrley Castle Farm is on the site of a Saxon castle which was built on a man-made mound in a field. The Saxon for mound is ‘tir’ and for field ‘ley’, hence Tirley which has become Tyrley Tyrley Wharf Page 68 Loggerheads Parish Tyrley Ward Heritage Assets Forming part of the Tyrley Conservation Area DC, The delightful collection of grade two listed buildings at Tyrley Wharf on the Shropshire Union Canal was constructed by the Peatswood Estate to coincide with the completion of the canal. There were originally seven individual cottages built to house estate workers and a stable to accommodate the horses used to tow canal barges. Constructed in brown brick with ashlar dressings, slate roof with coped verges on stone kneelers, multi-paned 2- light casements in plastered stone surrounds to first, second and fourth bays from left, blind round-headed brick opening to third; 3 lean-to timber porches on brick dwarf walls with slate roofs to front over cambered doorways with boarded doors; prominent paired and rebated ridge stack to left (shared between Nos.30 and 31) and taller ridge stack to right (to No.32).

  • 1 Margaret M. Condon and Evan T. Jones (Eds.), 'Bristol 1470-71
    Bristol customs account Nov 1470 – March 1471: intro TNA, E122/174/3 (part) Margaret M. Condon and Evan T. Jones (eds.), ‘Bristol 1470-71: Particulars of Account of Daniel Sheldon, controller, 4 November 1470 to 29 March 1471: Introduction’ (University of Bristol, Research Data Repository, 2019)1 Text and Comment This newly discovered account was found in a large bundle of fragmentary and undated customs accounts dating from the thirteenth to the seventeenth centuries. Generally in good condition, the document has some minor points of damage.2 It consists of a single membrane of parchment displaced from a larger document, the start of which is no longer extant. The missing portion would have covered the period from November 1470 to late January 1471. The surviving membrane of the account begins mid-way through a ship entry for late January 1471 and continues to 29 March of the same year.3 Two additional entries for 30 March and 17 April post-date the formal period of account. Their inclusion is likely to be a consequence of the unstable political situation discussed below. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the account is that it details Bristol’s overseas trade for an eleven-week period during a particularly active phase of the ‘Wars of the Roses’. In September/October 1470, the Earl of Warwick, known as ‘The Kingmaker’ restored the Lancastrian Henry VI to the throne of England and forced the Yorkist monarch, Edward IV, to flee to Holland, which was part of the lands of Edward’s brother-in-law, the Duke of Burgundy.

  • The Wars of the Roses: a Timeline of Key Events Edward III Reigns From
    The Wars of the Roses: A Timeline of Key Events . Edward III reigns from 1327 – 1377. Edward has many sons the heirs of which become the key players in the Wars of the Roses (see family tree). o Edward’s first son Edward (The Black Prince) dies in 1376. His son, Richard becomes Richard II following Edward III’s death and reigns from 1377 until 1399. o Edward’s third son Lionel also predeceases him. Lionel’s daughter, however, is integral to the claim made by The House of York to the throne at the time of the Wars of the Roses. Her granddaughter marries Richard, Duke of York who is the son of Edward III’s fifth son, Edmund, Duke of York. Their child Richard, 3rd Duke of York will eventually make a claim for the throne during the Wars of the Roses. o Edward’s fourth son John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, founds The House of Lancaster. His son, Henry (Bolingbroke), overthrows Richard II to become Henry IV. The descendants of Henry IV are King Henry V and King Henry VI. The House of Lancaster therefore has an uninterrupted reign of 62 years. o Edward’s fifth son Edmund of Langley, Duke of York founds The House of York. His son Richard, 2nd Duke of York marries the great- granddaughter of Edward’s third son. 1377: Edward III dies, and Richard II, his grandson, becomes king. Richard II is overthrown by his cousin Henry Bolingbroke who becomes King Henry IV. 1413: Henry IV dies, and Henry V becomes king.

As followers in the Conqueror’s army the Wydeviles rose through service with the Mowbray family. If we accept the definition given by Crouch and Turner for a brief period of time the Wydeviles qualified as barons in the twelfth century. This position was not maintained. By the thirteenth century the family had split into two distinct branches. The senior line settled in Yorkshire while the junior branch settled in Northamptonshire. The junior branch of the family gradually rose to prominence in the county through service as escheator, sheriff and knight of the shire.
