UST ten years ago this little volume made its bo o ks J first appearance . Although many on similar subjects have been written in that time , none have exactly given the same informa tion , and this sec ond edition has been decided n upon . Additions and corrections to bri g the book up to date have been made , but much still an d remains , must remain , imperfect in so small a work on so large a subject, and the present pages only profess to help beginners over some of f the initial di ficulties they will meet with . It has been urged that handwriting and its characteristics have nothing to do with old deeds, but careful study of every line and letter is useful , especially with regard to private letters , or when any question arises as to whether the manuscripts are genuine or forgeries . That is why the second chapter, on handwriting and descriptions of old ink, paper, and paper marks and seals , was written , are for all such items of great importance . [ V ] ’ ’ ‘ e z Me S econ E dz lz on P refac o d . A recent celebrated trial (the Shipway case , in which an old register was altered) shows that care ful attention to minute details is necessary . Parish registers have not , and are not , at the present moment protected against frauds of this kind , which are far less common than might be sup p osed . Old deeds are now bought and sold ; it is a trade quite as much as that in old books . Some Edin bur h a years ago , in g , number of clever for eri es g were sold as genuine , which if they had been so would have cleared up a historical question of great importance . Many friends who helped me when I first wrote & the book are, alas dead ; only their letters remain , and from these I have used extracts in revising this edition . Mr . Trice Martin has most kindly read it through t en and criticised it , as he did years ago , and if I mistakes still remain , trust my readers will be b a I lenient . It must , however, be remem ered th t am writing on ly about the class of deeds which are usually met with in old houses , and not attempting to describe every description of charter or deed . & EMMA ELI ABETH COPE . 1 0 H YDE PARK A NS O NS W . 3 , M I , Se tember 1 p , 903 .

N the following pages I have tried to describe I the things which puzzled me when , as a beginner , I first essayed to read and understand the old records of bygone times . Written in a w n o language I kne not , relating to customs longer existing, all was strange and unfamiliar . I toiled on ; by degrees light dawned and the difficulties melted away . The knowledge thus gained I have endeavoured , in all humility , to write down as a possible guide an d help to others who may , like myself, prefer to follow antiquarian research by means of old deeds and other manuscripts, as being the original source n- and most trustworthy fountai head of knowledge , and by this means to avoid as much as possible repeating the assertions and mistakes of previous writers . ’ e A ” M or s P reface . In the chapter on Paleography I have named w m the books hich were y guides , and in these pages I have tried to supply information supple w mentary to hat is already printed on the subject , rather than repeat what h as previously been n o f explai n ed .

OOKS written to teach any branch of n i n huma knowledge are , most cases , written by persons who have long known and used the knowledge which they impart , and , perhaps for that reason , have more or less for gotten the steps o f the ladder up which they have climbed ; but in this case the process has been so recent that the difficulties and dangers of each step have been remembered , and the reader accordingly warned against them . The meaning of the various kinds of documents which are likely to be found among the title - deeds o r of an estate, or among the archives of a parish a corporation , are described without needless tech n ic aliti es t o , in a practical way , which will appeal those who begin to work among such material with out previous knowledge . o f . The first step, course , is to learn to read [ xi ] x ii I n trodu ction . This wants perseverance and a quick eye , but regular practice will soon enable the student to read any ordinary documents , which at first seemed utterly unintelligible , and gradually the power of understanding really difficult and o b scure M SS . will be acquired . But this first step must be thoroughly mastered , for to attempt to get information from old writings without thoroughly knowing the forms of the letters , and the different systems of abbreviations and con tractions , would be like trying to keep accounts without knowing how to add up a column of figures . And indeed paleography i s the foundation of all history . There may be historians , like the late M r . Freeman , who have but little knowledge o f h i s i n of the science (he , I believe , boasted ability to read a manuscript), but then such writers rely o n the paleographic knowledge of others , who have edited the manuscripts which u s e they desire to , and they have , or ought to have , sufficient scholarship to j udge which are the best editions, and even occasionally to detect ’ editors mistakes . But an acquaintance with this bran ch of know ledge i s often o f the greatest use to biographers and historians . It is much better, for instance , to be able to j udge whether a certain doc u ment i s of the age which it professes , or in whose hand xiii a draft of a treaty is , than to have to accept the opinion of someone else . The mistakes made through want o f this know ledge are common , and sometimes very amusing . Familiar enough is the old story o f the parish i n priest in the time of King H enry VI I I . , who the canon of the Mass , in the prayer after taking ‘ ’ ’ s am s z mas m u m the wine , read the word p as p ' s z nz n s - , because he had a thirteenth century missal 3 m u i n which and are much alike , and ref sed to alter his mistake when it was pointed out to him . was hi s It referred to by King Henry VI I I . in 1 speech to the Parliament in 5 45 , and , in fact , this ‘ ignorant priest h as made himself an everlasting fo r name conservative stupidity . o n e o f I n more recent times , the historian of our beautiful north - country abbeys talks of a gift of a silver chest by th e founder in the eleventh century . The reader wonders what this chest — could have been was it a native work or i m ported ? was it some ecclesiastical ornament o r merely a strong box ? But on turning to the w document on hich the account is based , the i s meaning clear .

  • Parish' and 'City' -- a Shifting Identity: Salisbury 1440-1600
    Early Theatre 6.1(2003) audrey douglas ‘Parish’ and ‘City’ – A Shifting Identity: Salisbury 1440–1600 The study and documentation of ceremony and ritual, a broad concern of Records of Early English Drama, has stimulated discussion about their purpose and function in an urban context. Briefly, in academic estimation their role is largely positive, both in shaping civic consciousness and in harmonizing diverse classes and interests while – as a convenient corollary – simultaneously con- firming local hierarchies. Profitable self-promotion is also part of this urban picture, since ceremony and entertainment, like seasonal fairs, potentially attracted interest from outside the immediate locality. There are, however, factors that compromise this overall picture of useful urban concord: the dominance of an urban elite, for instance, may effectually be stabilized, promoted, or even disguised by ceremony and ritual; on the other hand, margi- nalized groups (women and the poor) have normally no place in them at all.l Those excluded from participation in civic ritual and ceremonial might, nevertheless, be to some extent accommodated in the pre-Reformation infra- structure of trade guilds and religious guilds. Both organizational groups crossed social and economic boundaries to draw male and female members together in ritual and public expression of a common purpose and brotherhood – signalling again (in customary obit, procession, and feasting) harmony and exclusivity, themes with which, it seems, pre-Reformation urban life was preoccupied. But although women were welcome within guild ranks, office was normally denied them. Fifteenth-century religious guilds also saw a decline in membership drawn from the poorer members of society, with an overall tendency for a dominant guild to become identified with a governing urban elite.2 Less obvious perhaps, but of prime importance to those excluded from any of the above, was the parish church itself, whose round of worship afforded forms of ritual open to all.

But I wish to acknowledge how much I owe to the very careful and original research provided by Professor Willis, in his "Architectural History of the Cathedral"; by Precentor Walcott, in his "Early Statutes" of Chichester; and Dean Stephen, in his "Diocesan History." The footnotes, which refer to the latter work, indicate the pages in the smaller edition. But the volume could never have been completed without the great help given to me on many occassions by Prebendary Bennett. His deep and intimate knowledge of the cathedral structure and its history was always at my disposal. It is to him, as well as to Dr. Codrington and Mr. Gordon P.G.

Condon Issued to the Subscribers by Phillimore & Co., Ltd. 124, Chancery Lane. 1915- PREFACE. Six years have elapsed since tlie first volume of Devonshire Marriage Registers was issued and during those years the work- has been practically at a standstill, in strange contrast to the adjoining counties of Cornwall, Somerset, and Dorset, where the Marriage Registers of 133, 107 and 58 parishes respectively have now been printed. This lack of progress in Devon has been due partly to the death of Mr. W. P. W. Phillimore to whose inception the entire Series is due and who edited the first volume, but chiefly to the poor support forthcoming from Devon men, in comparison with that accorded to the Series in other counties by those interested in their Records. Thus the first volume for Devonshire was issued at a substantial loss. Now that the work has been resumed, it is hoped that the support received will be more proportionate to the size and importance of the county, and so will enable the Devonshire Marriage Registers to be printed on a uniform plan and with such regularity of output as will render them safe from further loss and readily accessible to the student and genealogical searcher.

  • Durham Cathedral an Address

TO THE MEMORY OF William of Saint Carilef THIS ATTEMPT TO ILLUSTRATE THE NOBLE CHURCH WHICH HIS GENIUS AND PIETY HAVE BEQUEATHED TO US IS DEDICATED. 53494 PREFACE. THE following account of the Cathedral Church of Durham was addressed to the members of the Berwickshire Naturalists' Club and the Durham and Northumberland Archaeological and Architectural Society, at a joint meeting of the Societies, held in the Cathedral, on September 24, 1879. This will explain the form under which it appears, and, it is to be hoped, excuse the colloquial and somewhat desultory way in which the subject is treated. It was not the intention of the author of the address, when it was given, that it should appear in any other form than that of an abstract in the Transactions of the Societies to which it was delivered. Several of his friends, however, have thought that printed in externa it might be of service as a Guide Book to the Cathedral, and supply what has been too long wanting in illustration of the Church of Durham. To this wish he has assented, but with some reluctance, feeling how inadequate is such a treatment of a subject so important. Some additional matter has been supplied in the notes which will help to make it more useful than it was in its original form.

    SALISBURY CATHEDRAL The Enthronement of the Seventy-Eighth Bishop of Salisbury The Right Reverend Nicholas Holtam Saturday 15 October 2011 at 12.00 noon Organ Music before the Service Prelude and Fugue in E minor bwv 548 Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) Sonata II in C minor Felix Mendelssohn (1809–1847) Choral II in B minor César Franck (1822–1890) Impromptu in G Walter Alcock (1861–1947) The Cathedral choirs are directed by David Halls. The Organist is Daniel Cook. The Choir of St Martin-in-the-Fields is directed by Andrew Earis. The anthem by James Whitbourn was commissioned for this service. The Bishop’s pectoral cross is a gift from the Chinese congregations at St Martin-in-the Fields. The jewelled and enamelled crozier was presented to the Cathedral by Canon Myers in 1909. The decorations are rich in symbolism. The main group represents Christ’s charge to St Peter. The Beast below the circular rim represents the powers of evil overcome by Our Lord’s atonement. The figures in the ivory boss below are the Blessed Virgin Mary and Child, St Aldhelm (with a harp), St Osmund (with a Sarum breviary) and Bishop Richard Poore (with a representation of the Cathedral). The bell ringers of St Martin-in-the-Fields have brought a portable tower to ring for their former Vicar. The image of the Hinton St Mary Mosaic is copyright © The Trustees of the British Museum. – 2 – Introductory Note Just on the outskirts of Salisbury is an ancient hamlet (now a flourishing and expanding suburb) called Bishopdown.

  • Power Heraldry
    Power Heraldry by Frank R. Power Comments and questions are welcome. [email protected] Heraldry is the study of coats of arms that are inherited symbols, or devices, called charges, displayed on a shield, or escutcheon, for the purpose of identifying individuals or families. It involves the art of devising, granting, and blazoning arms, tracing genealogies, and determining and ruling on questions of rank or protocol. Heraldry and genealogy have a long, collaborative relationship. Heraldry requires a knowledge of genealogy and heraldry has often been used as evidence to support genealogical conclusions. The basic role of both heraldry and genealogy is to identify and place individuals within the context of their families and if done well, within the wider historical context in which they lived. Heraldry can provide excellent clues and pointers to ancestry. The following tabulation of Power and related names, coats of arms, geographical locations, blazons (text descriptions), crests and mottoes, source references and notes along with the attached geographic distribution map are intended as a starting point for the use of heraldry in fleshing out our Power family history.

  • Pastoral Care According to the Bishops of England and Wales (C.1170 – 1228)
    University of Cambridge Faculty of History PASTORAL CARE ACCORDING TO THE BISHOPS OF ENGLAND AND WALES (C.1170 – 1228) DAVID RUNCIMAN Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge Supervised by DR JULIE BARRAU Emmanuel College, Cambridge This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2019 DECLARATION This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except as specified in the text. It is not substantially the same as any that I have submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for a degree or diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar. It does not exceed the prescribed word limit for the relevant Degree Committee. ABSTRACT DAVID RUNCIMAN ‘Pastoral care according to the bishops of England and Wales (c.1170-1228)’ Church leaders have always been seen as shepherds, expected to feed their flock with teaching, to guide them to salvation, and to preserve them from threatening ‘wolves’. In the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries, ideas about the specifics of these pastoral duties were developing rapidly, especially in the schools of Paris and at the papal curia. Scholarly assessments of the bishops of England and Wales in this period emphasise their political and administrative activities, but there is growing interest in their pastoral role. In this thesis, the texts produced by these bishops are examined. These texts, several of which had been neglected, form a corpus of evidence that has never before been assembled. Almost all of them had a pastoral application, and thus they reveal how bishops understood and exercised their pastoral duties.
