Chapter XII the Vicars of Rochdale CHAPTER XII . tot (icars of &CobaVt. HE following long list of vicars is very nearly complete from the end of the twelfth century, and probably en- tirely so from the induction of Richard de Perebald in 1302 to the present time . The only possible hiatus since 1302 is between William Asheton in 1483 and Sir Gilbert Haydock in 1522 ; of course the former may have held the living for the intervening time, but it is just as likely that between these dates the name of a vicar is wanting. 1194 Geoffrey the Dean.

The late Canon Raines left in manuscript an account of the vicars of Rochdale, which has been printed by the Chetham Society ; , from this volume a great portion of the following notices of the vicars has been taken . GEOFFREY THE DEAN, 1194. Geoffrey the dean of Whalley married 2 the daughter of Roger de Lascy, constable of Chester, and held the church of Rochdale on 2nd February, 1194 (and no doubt earlier) as is proved by a charter whereby Roger de Lascy granted the church to the abbey of Stanlawe . About the same time he is again referred to as the dean of Whalley and vicar of St . Chad's, Rochdale, in the deed in which William de Stapylton declared how he swore in the mother church of St . Cedde's whilst touching the relics of the holy saints there preserved and in the presence of the faithful parishioners, that he gave over a tithe of all his lands and of his forest in Sadelword to the mother church of St . Cedde, on condition that the vicar would grant to him that the divine office should be celebrated at his (William de Stapylton's) cost in the chapel of Sadelword ; securing that the mother church should not ' Edited by H .

THE VICARS OF ROCHDALE . 225 suffer in any way and that the chaplain who chaunted at Sadelword should be subject to the parson at Rochdale .' This dean of Whalley held' Rochdale under the lord of Pontefract . Whilst he held the vicariate two of his sons acted as incumbents of Rochdale, but there is no positive evidence that either of them was ever actually vicar. Robert the son of Geoffrey appears to have, for a time at least, been incumbent of RochdaaTe. In more than one charter he is called "clericus de Whalley et persona de Rachdale." He granted lands in Spotland to Alexander de Spotland [see p. 75] before the end of the twelfth century,2 and Geoffrey the son of Geoffrey the dean, who married a daughter of Gospatrick de Samlesbury, held a similar position, as by deed he released to the abbey of Stanlawe all his rights in Rochdale Church together with the charter of the abbott and convent and the _confirmation of the bishop. There was also a Geoffrey de Buckley who surrendered one-third of the tithes of Rochdale which he had enjoyed by the permission of the dean ; he also was possibly a priest officiating at the parish church.3 Sometime between 1224 and 1238 Geoffrey the dean resigned into the hands of Alexander Stavenby, bishop of Coventry, the vicariate of Rochdale, whereupon the bishop consolidated and united the vicarage and the rectory, and appropriated the charge to the abbey of Stanlawe, reserving to himself and his successors his pontifical and parochial rights and the right of ordaining the vicar to the said church .4 Thus the monks became the owners of the great tithes and other rectorial rights . WILLIAM DE DUMPLINGTON Cire. 1238. This was the first vicar appointed by the abbots. He was insti- tuted by Alexander de Stavenby, 5 bishop of Coventry and Lichfield .6 His name is attached to deeds contained in the Coucher Book of Whalley as " Willo. vicar. de Rached," " Dominus Willo. vicario de Rach," and from the large number of them it is clear that he held the vicarage for some years. JOHN DE BLACKBURNE cirC. 1250. That he was the successor of William de Dumplington is placed beyond doubt, as he declared whilst swearing on the relics of the saints - Coucher Book of Whalley, pp. 146, 137. 'Do., pp. 294-7. 3 Do., 142. < Do., p . 143. $Alexander Stavenby became Bishop 14th April, 1224, and died ante December, 1238. 6 Coucher Book of Whalley, p . 145. 29 2 2 6 HISTORY OF THE PARISH OF ROCHDALE. that he would not claim from the abbots of Stanlawe as vicar of "Rached " anything but the land attached to the church which was duly marked out and which "Dominus Will'mus. his predecessor" had, to- gether with five marks of silver, to be paid annually which were reserved to the church by William de Cornhull, formerly bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, together with the tithes of the corn grown on his own land and of cattle fed on the same . , The last clause as Dr. Whitaker suggests, doubtless means that the glebe, when held by the vicar, was to be exempt from payment of tithe .2 Like the last vicar he was a frequent witness to the grants of land to the abbey of Stan- lawe, as was also his brother Adam . Neither the exact date of this vicar's appointment nor of his death or resignation is known, but he was either here for many years or there was a vicar of whom we have no record, or William de Dumplington may have held the living for a longer period than has been assumed . RICIIARD DE PEREBALD, 1302--1317 . He was instituted 9th December, 1302, on the nomination of the abbot and convent of Whalley .3 In 1306 he was fined twenty shillings for hunting and killing deer in Sowerbyshire [Errington Parkj.4 Nothing more is known of this vicar except that he died the Tuesday next before the exaltation of the cross [14th September], 1317 . THOMAS DE BOULTON, 1 3 1 7-1 349. His institution is recorded at Lichfield, 8 Kal . November, 1317, on the death of the last vicar . The name of " Dominus Thomas de Boulton" often appears as a witness to deeds of this period . In 1330 Roger Northburgh, bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, held an ordin- ation in the Rochdale Church .5 At the Preston Assizes Thomas the son of Adam de Turnage was charged with stealing at Butterworth two of this vicar's oxen worth ten shillings each .6 He died on the feast of St. Matthew the Apostle [21st September], 1349. 7 ' Coucher Book of Whalley, p . 144. - Hit. of whalley, ii ., 416. 3 Lichfield Reg. 4 Watson's Hist of Halifax, p . 74 .

On the nomination of the abbot he was presented to the living 9th January, 1361 . The date but not the cause of the vacancy is re- corded. On the 4th July, 1364, he had granted two years leave of absence, he being " a deacon" and holding the office of "penitentiary ." Giles and Roger de Trumpyngton both appear as attesting witnesses to grants from Henry and John de Lascy.l He resigned the living 28th December, 1369. ROGER THE SON OF WILLIAM DE MANCHESTER, 1369-1388. Was appointed in February, 1369, on the resignation of the previous vicar.2 Amongst the deeds of Agecroft Hall is an "inspeximus" of the record of a trial at Lancaster between John, duke of Lancaster, and Robert de Holland from which it appears that in 1388, Robert de Holland and others assaulted the reapers of the vicar whilst reaping the corn and prevented their continuing their work, and that at the same time they went to the . vill of Castleton armed with bows and arrows, and there broke the windows of the vicarage and drove the vicar from his house, so that neither the vicar nor his servants dare return until they had paid a fine of two marks. In this deed the vicar is called Roger del Lache.3 He is also so styled in two or three other deeds of about the same date .4 He left Rochdale on his appointment to the rectory of Radcliffe in Lancashire 18th November, 1388 . JOHN FITIIELEK, 1388-1402. He was appointed on the resignation of the last vicar 18th Novem- ber, 1388.

  • The Berkeleys of Canterbury
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 69 1955 THE BERKELEYS OF CANTERBURY AN EIGHTEENTH CENTURY STUDY By DOKOTHY GARDINER, F.S.A. I RECENTLY became possessed (from a second-hand bookseller's cata- logue) of a copy of the will of Mrs. Eliza Berkeley, the wife of George Berkeley, Canon of Canterbury in the sixth Prebend, 1768-95. The will is contained in a small neatly bound volume, clearly written and carefully indexed. Mrs. Berkeley speaks of having a fair copy made of certain " scralled sheets " on which she had written, and subsequently altered and interlined, her last will and testament. Mine would seem to be the copy in question, for there are pencilled notes by Mrs. Berkeley in the margins. She died in 1800, and had left the Precincts, Canter- bury, five years earlier, on her husband, the Canon's, death. She had also left Canterbury and was living at Chertsey, and, when the end came, at Cheltenham. But her memory of the Precincts and her Kentish entourage was very vivid, and with her help and the contem- porary biographies of some of her friends, together with the Minutes of the Dean and Chapter in her husband's time, one may create a picture of Canterbury life during the latter half of the eighteenth century and bring to view certain very interesting people. II The Precincts seems not to have been at this time a very quiet place. Soldiers had been in the habit of parading and exercising there, causing so much inconvenience that, at Midsummer, 1780, the Dean and Chapter forbade the practice, though a few months later they so far relented as to allow parade " for the purpose and during the time of roll-call only "—at the discretion of the Dean or Vice-Dean.

  • Hallowed Ground
    Hallowed Ground A Guide to Burials and Memorials in Churchyards Introduction The death of a loved one comes as a great shock to us and we find ourselves having to make many decisions and arrangements. One of them is to consider how to mark the final resting place of our loved one. Thank you for choosing this churchyard as the final resting place for the body or cremated remains of your loved one. This booklet is written to help you make good decisions as to how to mark that final resting place. Rt Revd Jonathan Gledhill, Bishop of Lichfield Our churchyards are set aside as places of quiet dignity and good order where you and others may come to reflect on the life of your loved one, the compassion and mercy of God and his promise of resurrection to eternal life through faith in Him. They are sacred and holy places. Churchyards are public spaces and shared by many families but overseen by the church. They are places where space is limited and which, in the fullness of time, may have to be reused. Hallowed Ground A Guide to Burials and Memorials In Churchyards Churchyard Regulations are in place to help you and others mark the final resting place of your loved one in a visible way, giving you a place to visit, whilst respecting the families of others who are buried in the same churchyard. We hope that you will find this booklet helpful in making the right choice of a memorial both in design and wording. The full regulations and a fuller ‘Guidance to the Bereaved’ can be had from the parish priest or the Lichfield diocesan web site: www.lichfield.anglican.org/ourmission/funerals/ Please do discuss your requirements with the parish priest before making any final arrangements because no memorial can be placed in a churchyard without the written permission of the parish priest.

  • The Home Office and Public Disturbance, C.1800-1832
    The Home Office and Public Disturbance, c.1800-1832 Nathan Ashley Bend Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of PhD. May 2018 ii Abstract This thesis examines the role of the Home Office in the machinery of order from c.1800-1832. It combines institutional enquiry with the study of popular protest by examining protest from the viewpoint of the Home Office. It looks at how the growth of the Home Office was stagnated due to efforts to economise, and how it transformed its systems to make them more efficient in response to peaks of administrative work caused by popular tumult. The different roles that each person performed in the Home Office is outlined, and by doing so the pivotal role of the permanent under- secretary of state, who remains underrepresented in histories of protest, is exposed. It also looks at what powers the home secretary had at his disposal, and how they were used to repress food riots, the Luddite disturbances, the movement for parliamentary reform, the Swing riots, political agitation leading to the Great Reform Act, and trade unions. It compares the different approaches of home secretaries and argues that although the use of powers was generally guided by established precedent, others such as domestic espionage were more divisive, and were influenced by the personality and experience of the home secretary. The thesis also examines the relationships between the Home Office hierarchy and government departments with authorities in the provinces. This thesis brings together all the available records which relate to the Home Office as an institution and those which relate to public disturbance.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86508-1 - The Heads of Religious Houses England and Wales III, 1377-1540 Edited by David M. Smith Frontmatter More information THE HEADS OF RELIGIOUS HOUSES ENGLAND AND WALES 1377–1540 This final volume of The Heads of Religious Houses: England and Wales takes the lists of monastic superiors from 1377 to the dissolution of the monastic houses ending in 1540 and so concludes a reference work covering 600 years of monastic history. In addition to surviving monastic archives, record sources have also been provided by episcopal and papal registers, governmental archives, court records, and private, family and estate collections. Full references are given for establishing the dates and outline of the career of each abbot or prior, abbess or prioress, when known. The lists are arranged by order: the Benedictine houses (independent; dependencies; and alien priories); the Cluniacs; the Grandmontines; the Cistercians; the Carthusians; the Augustinian canons; the Premonstratensians; the Gilbertine order; the Trinitarian houses; the Bonhommes; and the nuns.
