There have, not unexpectedly, been considerable archival losses too, as some later vacancy inventories at York make clear: the Durham sede vacante register of Alexander Neville (1381) and accompanying visitation records; the York sede vacante register after Neville’s own translation in 1388; the register of Thomas Arundel (only the register of his vicars-general survives today), and the register of Robert Waldby (likewise only his vicar-general’s register is now extant) have all long disappeared.1 Some of these would also have included records of ordinations, now missing from the chronological sequence.

T he Council greatly regret that owing to various circum­ stances the publications have fallen very much behindhand in the order of their publication, but they trust that in the future the Members will have no reason to complain on this score. The Index of Obituary Notices for 1882 is ready and will be in the Members’ hands immediately. The Index for 1883 is nearly ready, and this with the Index to Archaeological Journals and Transactions, upon which Mr. Gomme has been engaged for some time, will complete the publications for 1884. The Index of the Biographical and Obituary Notices in the Gentleman’s Magazine for the first fifty years, upon which Mr. Farrar is engaged, has occupied an amount of time in revision considerably greater than was expected. This is largely owing to the great differences in the various sets, no two being alike. No one who has not been in the habit of consulting the early volumes of this Magazine con­ stantly can have any idea of the careless manner in which it was printed and the vast amount of irregularity in the pagination. Mr. Farrar has spared no pains in the revision of these points and the Council confidently expect to be able to present Members with the first volume of this im­ portant work in the course of the present year (1885).

  • River Witham the Source of the 8Th Longest River Wholly in England Is
    River Witham The source of the 8th longest river wholly in England is just outside the county, Lincolnshire, through which it follows almost all of a 132km course to the sea, which is shown on the map which accompanies Table Wi1 at the end of the document. Three kilometres west of the village of South Witham, on a minor road called Fosse Lane, a sign points west over a stile to a nature reserve. There, the borders of 3 counties, Lincolnshire, Rutland and Leicestershire meet. The reserve is called Cribb’s Meadow, named for a famous prize fighter of the early 19th century; at first sight a bizarre choice at such a location, though there is a rational explanation. It was known as Thistleton Gap when Tom Cribb had a victory here in a world championship boxing match against an American, Tom Molineaux, on 28th September 1811; presumably it was the only time he was near the place, as he was a Bristolian who lived much of his life in London. The organisers of bare-knuckle fights favoured venues at such meeting points of counties, which were distant from centres of population; they aimed to confuse Justices of the Peace who had a duty to interrupt the illegal contests. Even if the responsible Justices managed to attend and intervene, a contest might be restarted nearby, by slipping over the border into a different jurisdiction. In this fight, which bore little resemblance to the largely sanitised boxing matches of today, it is certain that heavy blows were landed, blood was drawn, and money changed hands, before Cribb won in 11 rounds; a relatively short fight, as it had taken him over 30 rounds to beat the same opponent at the end of the previous year to win his title.

  • The Landscape Speaks – Dowsing Discoveries
    A PDF OF THIS DOCUMENT CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM http://www.dangreencodex.co.uk/contributor.html THE LANDSCAPE SPEAKS – DOWSING DISCOVERIES Introduction This is a summary of the various landscape geometries I have discovered (or more correctly, that have discovered me) since 2006. They include several landscape pentagrams, a 200 mile alignment with a pairing of earth energy dragon currents, a terrestrial representation of the celestial winter and summer triangles and a mirror-image of the constellation Cygnus surrounded by a landscape image of the head of Baphomet and enclosed by yet another a pentagram. Many of these landscape features link into one another when various lines are extended. They also link into geometries and alignments discovered by other researchers. Moreover, much of the geometry seems to link in with Lincoln and Dan Green’s Lincoln Cathedral Code. The document is also a summary of my current ideas and suggestions about the nature of earth energies, particularly earth energy vortexes and the earth energy “dragon” currents that weave through the landscape. I believe that together these two energetic features form part of the earth’s own self-cleansing and healing system, which is currently not working to anywhere near its full potential.

  • Christopher Michael Woolgar: "The Development of Accounts for Private Households in England to C,1500 A.D."
    Christopher Michael Woolgar: "The development of accounts for private households in England to c,1500 A.D." A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Durham, 1986 Abstract The first written accounts for private households in England date from the late twelfth century. They probably derive from a system of accounting based on an oral report, supported by a minimum of documentation, and they were closely associated with a broad change in the method of provisioning households from a dependence on food farms to a network of supply based on purchase. The earliest private household accounts are daily or "diet" accounts, recording purchases alone. From the earliest examples, there is evidence of a "common form", which is adapted during the thirteenth century in the largest households to record consumption as well as purchases. In the fourteenth century in the largest households, probably preceded by developments in the English royal household and the monasteries, the diet account became a sophisticated instrument of domestic management. There is considerable variation in the account between households, the largest households having separate departmental and wardrobe accounts. To use the diet account for planning and budgetting, it was necessary to have a summary of its contents. From the 1320s and particularly in the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries, emphasis was placed on an annual cash, corn and stock account, similar in form to the manorial account, to be set beside the accounts of receivers general and valors to give an overview of the finances of the administration. In the smallest households there is little development in form.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

  • Naughty Nuns and Promiscuous Monks: Monastic Sexual Misconduct in Late Medieval England
    Naughty Nuns and Promiscuous Monks: Monastic Sexual Misconduct in Late Medieval England by Christian D. Knudsen A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of the Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto Copyright © by Christian D. Knudsen ABSTRACT Naughty Nuns and Promiscuous Monks: Monastic Sexual Misconduct in Late Medieval England Christian D. Knudsen Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto This dissertation examines monastic sexual misconduct in cloistered religious houses in the dioceses of Lincoln and Norwich between and . Traditionally, any study of English monasticism during the late Middle Ages entailed the chronicling of a slow decline and decay. Indeed, for nearly years, historiographical discourse surrounding the Dissolution of Monasteries (-) has emphasized its inevitability and presented late medieval monasticism as a lacklustre institution characterized by worsening standards, corruption and even sexual promiscuity. As a result, since the Dissolution, English monks and nuns have been constructed into naughty characters. My study, centred on the sources that led to this claim, episcopal visitation records, will demonstrate that it is an exaggeration due to the distortion in perspective allowed by the same sources, and a disregard for contextualisation and comparison between nuns and monks. In Chapter one, I discuss the development of the monastic ‘decline narrative’ in English historiography and how the theme of monastic lasciviousness came to be so strongly associated with it. Chapter two presents an overview of the historical background of late medieval English monasticism and my methodological approach to the sources. ii Abstract iii In Chapter three, I survey some of the broad characteristics of monastic sexual misconduct.
