The Rural Deanery of Manchester comprehended in the twelfth century, the Parishes of Manchester, Bolton-le-Moors, Bury, Eccles, Middleton, RadclifFe, Rochdale, and Prestwich, and at a later period were added, Ashton, Flixton, and Dean, which had obtained the rank of parishes. The representative of this Deanery was generally the Rector of Manchester, and "Dom. G. Decanus Decanatus de Mamcestr." occurs in a deed s. d. and again "Dno. Gr. Decan. de Mamcestr." attests next after William de Dumplinton, Vicar of Rochdale, before the year 1238. This ancient Ecclesiastical district is now divided into the modern Rural Deaneries of Manchester, Ashton, Bol- ton, and Rochdale, and, though "sufllciently thick of people," to adopt the (jnaint VOL.

In 1756 the county of Lancaster was described as being one hundred and sercnty miles in circuit and a County Palatine, as sending fourteen members to Parliament, and as haying sixty-two parishes and twenty-three market towns. The parish churches in the Diocese of Chester were returned as being two hundred and fifty-six. " From early times, until the tenth century, it was the custom for the Bishop per- sonally to visit each Parish under his jurisdiction, once a year, unless where the Dio- cese was of too great an extent, in which case the indulgence of a biennial, or, at fur- thest, a triennial visitation was allowed him. On the Scripture principle nemo cogitur sine stipendiis militare was foimded the rule that the Bishop should be entertained at the Church by the Parish Priest, which entertainment was styled Procuratio, from procurare 'to refresh,' as in the verse, " ' Iseti bene gestis corpora rebus Frocwrate viri." Virg. ^n. ix. 158. As soon as the Bishops ceased to hold their itmerant visitations and their Clergy were convened to their Cathedrals, the word "procuratio" came to signify (as proxi) or procuration still does) a pecuniary sum or composition paid as a commutation for the provision or entertamment. The rate varies in different parishes. At Ashton, the "Procuration annually, is 6s. 8d." — See Dopping, Tract, de Visitat. de Uj^isc. p. 8; Kcnnet, Pm'ocJi. Ant. Glossary ; Reeves' Secies. Antiq. of Dotvn, Connor, and Dro- more, p. 99. ^ The ancient Episcopal Synods (wMch were held about Easter,) were composed of the Bishop, as president; the Dean of the Cathedral, as representative of the Colle- giate body; the Archdeacons, as at first oidy deputies or proctors of that inferior or- der of Deacons, and the Urban and Rural Deans who represented aU the Parochial Priests within their division. Hence the name Synodalia, called in English Synodals or Sgnodies, which denoted the duty usually paid by the Clergy when they came to these Synods. The sum generally payable was two shillings, which was fixed so early as A.D. 572, and payable alone to the Bishop, de jure commimi. Kennet, Par. Ant. Gloss.; Gibson, Codex, Tit. 42, c. 9; Concilia, v. 896. •* At the triennial visitation of the Bishop a procuration is still paid by certain of the Clergy, wliilst the annual procuration is paid by Church-wardens at the Archdea- con's visitation. 5 Dedicated to St. Micliael.

At the Norman Conquest, the Manor of Ashton was granted by the King to his kinsman Roger, Earl of Poictiers, but was forfeited by him between the years 1066 and 1086. His confiscated lands were restored to the earl by WilHam Rufus, but owing to a subsequent revolt, lie was banished England by Henry I. in 1102, and the crown granted this Manor to Robert de Grcdlc or Grclley, Lord of Manchester.

Tlic son of Orm is styled Fitz Orm de Eston, and the old Lancashire genealogists (sec CoUins' Baronetage^ vol. ii. p. 207, 1720,) have stated this Orm to be male ancestor of the Asshetous of Ashton-uuder- Line. The proof, however, is wanting; and from a very careful and critical examina- tion of original evidences. Dr. Ormerod, the Cheshire Historian, (see Nichols' Collec- tanea Topographica et Genealogica, vol. vii.) has sho^\ai that the Manor was not really held by an Assheton, by any kno^vn authentic deed, before a Charter of Free Warren, dated the 9th Edward III. An Indenture dated Febr. l-il3, states that the Manor then held by Sir John Assheton, was held 12th Edward I. (1283,) immediately from the Lords of Manchester, not by the Asshetons but by the ancestor of Sir Richard de Kirkby, and iu the 5th Henry VI. the Asshetons held as a subinfeudation under Kirkby. The Eston of the Testa de NeviW was evidently Orm-Estou, now Urm- ston, hi the Parish of Flixton, and the lands of Orm Fitz Ailward, as to a knight's fee adjacent to Ormskii'k, passed to liis heir, Eoger de Lathom, the founder of Burscough. This Manor contmued in the Assheton family from the year 1335 until the death of Sir Thomas Assheton, 7th Henry VIII. (1515,) when it passed in marriage with Margaret, his eldest daughter and coheu-ess, to Sir Wm. Booth of Dunham Massey, ancestor of George Harry, Earl of Stamford and "Warrington, the present noble manerial owner. As the manor was held of the Baron of Manchester, so the Chapel of Ashton was dependent upon the Church of Manchester anterior to the 32nd Edward I. (1303,) but it appears to have obtaiaed the rank of a Parish Church before 1291, when "the Chuech of Ashton" was valued at £10 per annum. And in the 2nd Edward II. (1308,) Thomas de Grelley gave to Sir John, afterwards Baron de la Warr, and to Joan his wife, sister of the said Thomas, and to their heirs, the advowson of the "Chtteches of Mamcestre and Asshetone." In the 5th Henry VI. Thomas de la Warr gave to Sir John de Ashton K.B. the advowson of the Church, which was conveyed, with the Manor, by his descendant Margaret Assheton, about the year 1516, in mar- riage to Sir William Booth, (who ob.

  • EDUCATION of POOR GIRLS in NORTH WEST ENGLAND C1780 to 1860: a STUDY of WARRINGTON and CHESTER by Joyce Valerie Ireland
    EDUCATION OF POOR GIRLS IN NORTH WEST ENGLAND c1780 to 1860: A STUDY OF WARRINGTON AND CHESTER by Joyce Valerie Ireland A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire September 2005 EDUCATION OF POOR GIRLS IN NORTH WEST ENGLAND cll8Oto 1860 A STUDY OF WARRINGTON AND CHESTER ABSTRACT This study is an attempt to discover what provision there was in North West England in the early nineteenth century for the education of poor girls, using a comparative study of two towns, Warrington and Chester. The existing literature reviewed is quite extensive on the education of the poor generally but there is little that refers specifically to girls. Some of it was useful as background and provided a national framework. In order to describe the context for the study a brief account of early provision for the poor is included. A number of the schools existing in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries continued into the nineteenth and occasionally even into the twentieth centuries and their records became the source material for this study. The eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century were marked by fluctuating fortunes in education, and there was a flurry of activity to revive the schools in both towns in the early nineteenth century. The local archives in the Chester/Cheshire Record Office contain minute books, account books and visitors' books for the Chester Blue Girls' school, Sunday and Working schools, the latter consolidated into one girls' school in 1816, all covering much of the nineteenth century.

  • The Ramist Style of John Udall: Audience and Pictorial Logic in Puritan Sermon and Controversy
    Oral Tradition, 2/1 (1987): 188-213 The Ramist Style of John Udall: Audience and Pictorial Logic in Puritan Sermon and Controversy John G. Rechtien With Wilbur Samuel Howell’s Logic and Rhetoric in England, 1500-1700 (1956), Walter J. Ong’s Ramus, Method, and the Decay of Dialogue (1958) helped establish the common contemporary view that Ramism impoverished logic and rhetoric as arts of communication.1 For example, scholars agree that Ramism neglected audience accomodation; denied truth as an object of rhetoric by reserving it to logic; rejected persuasion about probabilities; and relegated rhetoric to ornamentation.2 Like Richard Hooker in Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity (I.vi.4), these scholars criticize Ramist logic as simplistic. Their objections identify the consequences of Ramus’ visual analogy of logic and rhetoric to “surfaces,” which are “apprehended by sight” and divorced from “voice and hearing” (Ong 1958:280). As a result of his analogy of knowledge and communication to vision rather than to sound, Ramus left rhetoric only two of its fi ve parts, ornamentation (fi gures of speech and tropes) and delivery (voice and gesture). He stripped three parts (inventio, dispositio, and memory) from rhetoric. Traditionally shared by logic and rhetoric, the recovery and derivation of ideas (inventio) and their organization (dispositio) were now reserved to logic. Finally, Ramus’ method of organizing according to dichotomies substituted “mental space” for memory (Ong 1958:280). In the context of this new logic and the rhetoric dependent on it, a statement was not recognized as a part of a conversation, but appeared to stand alone as a speech event fi xed in space.

    n8 SIXTEENTH CENTURY SALFORD PORTMOOT RECORDS MONG the muniments of the Clifton family of Lytham, A which have recently been deposited in the Lancashire County Record Office, are two rolls of proceedings in the Salford Wapentake Court for the years 1540-1 and 1546-7.

The records of this court are very fragmentary and are in several different custodies. In the Public Record Office are those for 1510, 1513, 1514, 1515, 1522, 1523, 1526, 1530, 1531, and 1594. These have been published by the Chetham Society, N.S., 80. Among the Raines MSS. in the Chetham Library is a transcript of a roll of 1559, the original of which is missing. This has been published by the same Society, N.S., 94, together with the records for 1728 to 1735 inclusive, which are in the custody of the Registrar of the Salford Hundred Court of Record. In the custody of the Town Clerk of Salford are the records for the years 1597 to 1669 in­ clusive, which have also been published by the Chetham Society, N.S., 46 and 48. In order to complete the publication of the records of the Salford Portmoot the newly-discovered rolls are here printed. There is little to add to the introductions written by Professor Tait in Chetham Society, N.S., 80 and 94, except perhaps to draw attention to the greater number of admissions than "are shown in the other rolls, and especially to the disputed admission of James Williamson in 1546.
