There were two enumerators because the Close was divided between the parishes of St Mary Magdalene and St Margaret, which were used as enumeration districts. Benjamin Draper for St Mary’s was a perfumer, hairdresser and animal and bird preserver, living in Bailgate.

Do not be put off by the length of the list: you will probably need only a fraction of it. For the primary sources – original documents or transcriptions of these – efforts have been made to include everything which might be productive. If you know of or find further such sources which should be on this list, please tell the Langham Village History Group archivist so that they can be added. If you find a source that we have given particularly productive, please tell us what needs it has satisfied; if you are convinced that it is a waste of time, please tell us this too! For the secondary sources – books, journals and internet sites – we have tried to include just enough useful ones, whatever aspect of Langham history that you might wish to investigate. However, we realise that there is then a danger of the list looking discouragingly long. Probably you will want to look at only a fraction of these. For many of the books, just a single chapter or a small section found from the index, or even a sentence, here and there, useful for quotation, is all that you may want. But, again, if you find or know of further especially useful sources, please tell us.

  • The Lincolnshire Gentry and the Wars of the Roses
    The Lincolnshire Gentry and the Wars of the Roses Jonathan S. Mackman D.Phil. Thesis University of York Department of History August 1999 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the impact of the Wars of the Roses upon the people, government and landed structure of a hitherto under-studied shire. It is intended as a bridge between the numerous post-McFarlanite county studies of recent years and the specific issue of the Wars, a conflict generally approached from a central perspective. It begins by examining Lincolnshire's landed society during the later Lancastrian period, stressing the county's political isolation, the sheer size and collective wealth of its population, but also the lack of any dominant political force. It examines the nature of local government, particularly the changing social profile of local officers, and also the issue of local violence. In particular, it highlights the effects of faction and manipulation of justice in an otherwise relatively law-abiding county, and the influence of the shires upon the descent into warfare. The thesis then addresses Lincolnshire's experience of the Wars themselves, particularly stressing the limited participation of the resident population. The Lincolnshire Rebellion of 1470 is described in detail, this shadowy episode being carefully reconstructed in order to gain a fuller understanding of its importance. This is then tied in with a discussion of how the Wars had only a limited effect on Lincolnshire's social and landed structures, yet radically altered its relationship with the Crown. It highlights the tension between the established order and the Yorkist administrative elite, and the way this became embodied in a local power-struggle which, it is argued, led to the Rebellion and ultimately contributed to Edward IV's own deposition.

    NORTHAMPTONSHIRE AND ITS RECORD SOCI~rY " 'Tis time to observe occurrences, and let nothing remarkable escape us : the supinity of elder days hath left so much in silence, or time hath so martyred the records, that the most industrious heads do find no easy work to erect a new Britannia." Thus wrote Sir Thomas Browne in an age which had witnesse~ unparalleled tumult and upheaval both in Church and State. "'Tis opportune to look back upon old times and contemplate our forefathers," 1 he continued, and certainly it is as though in times of rapid and violent change there is an instinctive impulse to save out of the wreck, for the benefit of future generations, the material in which the vanished past is reflected. The systematic care of historical records in France dates from the post-revolutionary period. In this country the movement for the printing and. preservation of local historical manu­ scripts received a great impetus in the twenty years after the first great war of the present century, when there was a rapid increase in the number of County Record Societies.

Sprawling across the heart of England, the shire has played its full part in the national story.

  • John Ramsdell, John Ravensdale, Isaac Johnson, and Nathaniel Turner Ian Watson
    John Ramsdell, John Ravensdale, Isaac Johnson, and Nathaniel Turner Ian Watson This article presents evidence to show that John Ramsdell, who was in Lynn, Massachusetts, from about 1631 to his death in 1688, was the same man as John “Ravensdale,” who was made a freeman of Massachusetts Bay on 6 May 1635, and had been named in the 1627 will of Isaac Johnson as a servant. Johnson also mentioned “cosen Nathanaell Turner” in the will. Turner can be identified as Captain Nathaniel Turner of Lynn and later of New Haven, Connecticut, whose servant about 1632 was John Ramsdell. John Ramsdell of Lynn John1 Ramsdell lived in Lynn from at least 1631 until his death on 27 August 1688, and was the father of at least eight children.[1] Two statements of his age exist: one in a court deposition,[2] the other his age at death. Neither inspires great trust, but both happen to agree on a birthdate in late 1601 or early 1602. The given name of his wife, Priscilla, is known only from the record of her death in Lynn on 23 January 1675/6.[3] She is also mentioned, but not named, in a 12 April 1675 deed of gift where John transferred his farm and land in Lynn to his son Aquila.[4] Nowhere is her age or her maiden surname given. John Ramsdell was first definitely recorded as a member of a quarterly court jury in 1638,[5] but he had been in Lynn for several years already. We know this because in 1673 he testified that he had been familiar with the Lynn-Marblehead road for forty-two years, thus since 1631.[6] Also, in 1657 he deposed that “twenty-five years ago [i.e., in 1632], when he was a servant of Captain Torner, his master and other inhabitants of Lynn, before it was a town, fenced in Nahant” and “That by reason of these householders fencing, they had put their cattle there without molestation all these years.”[7] Nahant is 1 Vital Records of Lynn, Massachusetts to the End of the Year 1849, 2 vols.
