JOHN BAPTIST, OXFORD UNIVERSITY Visitor The Bishop of Winchester President Sir Michael Scholar The College of St. John Baptist was founded by Sir Thomas White in 1555, making St. John's 452 years old in 2007. White was a wealthy London merchant, subsequently Lord Mayor of the city, and a member of the powerful Merchant Taylors' Company. His object was "to strengthen the orthodox faith" by supplying an educated Catholic clergy for the new queen, Mary, as she sought to reverse the Reformations of her father, Henry VIII, and her half­ brother, Edward VI. White bought the buildings of an older foundation, the Cistercian college of St. Bernard, which had been established in 1437 by the founder of All Souls College, Archbishop Henry Chichele (c.1362-1443), but which had been dissolved as a monastic foundation during the reign of Henry VIII. Parts of the Cistercian college still survive: much of Front Quad has fifteenth-century origins, clearly seen in the Buttery and its associated offices, and the front to St. Giles retains many of its original features. The University in general was reluctant to go along with the more thorough return to Protestantism at the accession to the throne of Mary's half-sister Elizabeth in 1558. As in many colleges, a substantial number of St. John's students and dons kept to the old faith, in some cases becoming priests in the underground Catholic church.

The Branch’s thanks are due for these favours. Deep gratitude must at the same time be expressed to Mr. H. C. Johnson, who with characteristic skill and ingenuity has mastered the numerous problems of a difiicult text. If, as may be hoped, Wiltshire county records of a later date are to be printed, it will be no easy matter to find a scholar to maintain the standard that Mr. Johnson has set. R. B. Puon Hampstead September 1949 INTRODUCTION Much has been written in the last half century concerning the value of records of proceedings before Justices of the Peace not only to the professional historian of law and institutions or of social and economic development but also to the increasing number of lay persons interested in the lives and conditions of the predecessors whose names, traditions and, sometimes, surroundings they inherit. Local record societies and county councils, separately or in partnership, have in one county or another published Quarter Sessions records, the principal, though not the only, source of our information for such proceedings.

    English book owners in the seventeenth century: a work in progress listing How much do we really know about patterns and impacts of book ownership in Britain in the seventeenth century? How well equipped are we to answer questions such as the following?: • What was a typical private library, in terms of size and content, in the seventeenth century? • How does the answer to that question vary according to occupation, social status, etc? • How does the answer vary over time? – how different are ownership patterns in the middle of the century from those of the beginning, and how different are they again at the end? Having sound answers to these questions will contribute significantly to our understanding of print culture and the history of the book more widely during this period. Our current state of knowledge is both imperfect, and fragmented. There is no directory or comprehensive reference source on seventeenth-century British book owners, although there are numerous studies of individual collectors. There are well-known names who are regularly cited in this context – Cotton, Dering, Pepys – and accepted wisdom as to collections which were particularly interesting or outstanding, but there is much in this area that deserves to be challenged. Private Libraries in Renaissance England and Books in Cambridge Inventories have developed a more comprehensive approach to a particular (academic) kind of owner, but they are largely focused on the sixteenth century. Sears Jayne, Library Catalogues of the English Renaissance, extends coverage to 1640, based on book lists found in a variety of manuscript sources. The Cambridge History of Libraries in Britain and Ireland (2006) contains much relevant information in this field, summarising existing scholarship, and references to this have been included in individual entries below where appropriate.

The Editors have now the pleasure of issuing the third volume of Somersetshire Marriage Registers, containing parishes in the Deaneries of Taunton, Ilchester, and Ilmin- ster. Much interest has been taken in the proposal, and such willing support has been accorded, that they propose to continue the series in similar volumes. They will welcome help in the matter of Transcription of Registers. Genealogists, not only in Somersetshire, but throughout the whole English world, will appreciate this systematic attempt to render available the information contained in Parish Registers, which to most students are at present almost sealed books. These printed copies will preserve the in- formation they contain, even though the originals be lost by carelessness, theft, or fire. Moreover, registers in the past have been sometimes tampered with for wrongful purposes, a risk which printed copies will in the future obviate. .t_3^ 9)233 The Editors have to acknowledge the kind help of the Incumbents of the several parishes, who have readily per- mitted the transcription and publication of the marriage register books in their custody.

    At the Invitation of the President and Fellows of St. John Baptist College, Oxford University BRITISH STUDIES AT OXFORD presents A Course of Studies in the Arts, Customs, History, Literature, and Ideas of the British People. Age of Empire Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century Britain July 4th to August lOth, 1993 THE COLLEGE OF ST. JOHN BAPTIST, OXFORD UNIVERSITY Visitor The Bishop of Winchester President William Hayes, M.A., D. Phil. The College of St. John Baptist was founded in 1555 by a wealthy London Merchant Taylor, a former Lord Mayor of London, and a devoted Roman Catholic. His object was to secure a supply of clergy to rebut current heresies. The site and buildings were those of St. Bernard's College, a Cistercian house begun by Archbishop Chichele in 1437. The front of the College was more or less as it is now, also the north and south sides of the quadrangle. The College has had a close connection with many famous English schools, such as Christ's Hospital, Merchant Taylors' School (founded 1561), and the schools at Tonbridge, Bristol, Reading, and Coventry. The College in time became rich because of its ownership of the Manor of Walton, comprising a great part of what is now north Oxford, as well as the advowson of St. Giles' Church and much neighboring property. In its early days, the College was not happy in religion, and there were numerous defections to Roman Catholicism, one of the most notable being the brilliant Edmund Campion, who was martyred at Tyburn in 1581. The greatest days of the College came in the first half of the seventeenth century under the Presidencies of William Laud 1611-21, William Juxon 1621-33, and Richard Baylie 1633-48 and 1660-7.

The history of any one of the older Colleges of Oxford extends over a period of time and embraces a variety of interests more than sufficient for a volume.The constitutional changes which it has experienced in the six, or four, or two centuries of its existence have been neither few nor slight. The Society living within its walls has reflected from age to age the social, religious, and intellectual conditions of the nation at large. Its many passing generations of teachers and students have left behind them a wealth of traditions honourable or the reverse.Yet it seems not impossible to combine in one volume a series of College histories.

R. Elrington, honorary editor of the Society 1962-72, and was completed under that of Dr. D. A. Crowley, honorary editor 1972-6. The editor of the volume, Mr. Wil- liams, wishes to thank them for their advice and encouragement. Warm thanks are also extended to Mr. P. V. McGrath of the University of Bristol, who first suggested an edition of the subscription book, to Miss K. Pamela Stewart and the staff of the Salisbury Diocesan Record Office, and to Mr. R. A. Read of the Salisbury Diocesan Registry. The subscription book is published by permission of the Diocesan Registrar. Generalizations about the clergy in the period preceding the Civil Wars must be tested against such a body of facts as Mr. Williams has provided in this edition. Here is material for investigation of the social standing, education, and personal connexions of hundreds of individuals in a considerable part of western England.
