  • 'New Modelised and Cromwellysed': the Commonwealth and The
    Alex Craven, The Commonwealth & Lancashire 1 The Commonwealth of England and the Governors of Lancashire: ‘New Modelised and Cromwellysed’ The political fall-out following the execution of Charles I cannot be overestimated. The political nation, already starkly polarised by the events of the previous decade, was rent asunder. The purge of the House of Commons that preceded the regicide forcibly excluded a large number of MPs, whilst many more chose to stay away from Westminster following the revolutionary events of January 1649. A parallel process occurred in the provinces, as men were removed from the county committees and the commission of the peace. The upheaval was so profound that one Lancashire man declared in 1649 that the law had been „New Modelised and Cromwellysed‟. The contempt he later showed to magistrates and constables at the quarter sessions demonstrates that it was the dramatic changes to the government of the country as much as any changes to the law that had left him bewildered.[1] The following paper will examine the impact of the creation of the Commonwealth on the government of Lancashire, beginning with the county‟s MPs following Pride‟s Purge. It will then explore the extent to which Lancashire‟s local government was „New Modelled‟ after 1649; were the county committees and the bench purged following the creation of the republic, or did government continue largely unaffected? To what extent did a revolution at Westminster entail a revolution in the provinces? I On 6 December 1648, tensions that had been building between conservatives and radicals at Westminster finally came to a head when the New Model Army purged the House of Commons.

  • Some Account of the Liveepool Election of 1670; Feom Obiqinal Documents in the Possession of John Ireland Blackbubne, Esq., of Hale
    PAPER. SOME ACCOUNT OF THE LIVEEPOOL ELECTION OF 1670; FEOM OBIQINAL DOCUMENTS IN THE POSSESSION OF JOHN IRELAND BLACKBUBNE, ESQ., OF HALE. By the Rev. A flume, D.C.L., LL.D., F.S.A. It is a curious fact, that in the town of Liverpool, the ordinary authori­ ties to which one naturally turns, sometimes exhibit strange defects. For example, in Gore's Directory, the list of Representatives in Parliament is only given from the commencement of the reign of George III; and under the title "Annals of Liverpool," though minute incidents are frequently mentioned, there is no allusion to an election in 1670. If we turn to an older record, the Squib Book of 1761, which professes to give the names of the representatives of Liverpool from 1760, we find the following: 1660. William Stanley and Sir Gilbert Ireland. 1661. William Stanley and Sir Gilbert Ireland. 1678. Richard Wentworth and John Dubois. This omits altogether the election of which a full account is given in these papers, as -well as others which occurred subsequently to 1661, and yet before the last mentioned date. Baines'* list of members for Liverpool, extending from 1295 to 1835, is not more accurate than this. The following is a more complete account, serving to show the outline of facts: 1660. Hon. Wm. Stanley, (as 19); Sir Gilbert Ireland, Knight. 1661. Hon. W. Stanley; Sir Gilbert Ireland, Knight^ ,. IVbMfti *V 1670. Mr. Stanley died in the afternoon of TuaecTay, the 25th of October ;* and on Friday, December 9th, Sir William Bucknall, Knight, was elected in his stead.
