Emily Mitchell Patronage and Politics at Barking Abbey, c. 950 - c. 1200 Abstract This thesis is a study of the Benedictine abbey of Barking in Essex from the tenth to the twelfth centuries. It is based on a wide range of published and unpublished documentary sources, and on hagiographie texts written at the abbey. It juxtaposes the literary and documentary sources in a new way to show that both are essential for a full understanding of events, and neither can be fully appreciated in isolation. It also deliberately crosses the political boundary of 1066, with the intention of demonstrating that political events were not the most significant determinant of the recipients of benefactors’ religious patronage. It also uses the longer chronological scale to show that patterns of patronage from the Anglo-Saxon era were frequently inherited by the incoming Normans along with their landholdings. Through a detailed discussion of two sets of unpublished charters (Essex Record Office MSS D/DP/Tl and Hatfield, Hatfield House MS Ilford Hospital 1/6) 1 offer new dates and interpretations of several events in the abbey’s history, and identify the abbey’s benefactors from the late tenth century to 1200. As Part III shows, it has been possible to trace patterns of patronage which were passed down through several generations, crossing the political divide of 1066. Royal patronage is shown to have been of great significance to the abbey, and successive kings exploited their power of advowson in different ways according to the political atmosphere o f England. The literary sources are discussed in a separate section, but with full reference to the historical narrative. -

Parish Profile for the Parishes of St Margaret, Woodham Mortimer with Hazeleigh and St Michael the Archangel, Woodham Walter
Parish Profile for the Parishes of St Margaret, Woodham Mortimer with Hazeleigh and St Michael the Archangel, Woodham Walter St Margaret’s has the following Parish Church prayer: Loving Lord God, enable this church to do your will Make us vulnerable that we may speak with calm humility Make us outward looking, that we may care deeply Make us a community of peacemakers and bridge builders In the midst of turbulence let the church make space For the hearing of your still small voice Amen 1. Summary of the Churches and District: The benefice comprises the rural villages of Woodham Mortimer with Hazeleigh and Woodham Walter, near Maldon in Essex. Both St Margaret’s and St Michael’s churches follow varied “middle of the road” traditions, and are working towards being part of the Diocesan Vision “Transforming Presence”. The congregation of St Margaret’s is on average 25 and St Michael’s has an average congregation of 24. We are looking for a priest to work on a House for Duty basis which we have found works well. We would like the new priest to have a visible presence within the parishes, particularly in association with the Church School in Woodham Walter. 2. Gifts/Skills/Experience: Ideally the new priest will have the skills to merge the traditional values of the church with modern approaches, while taking into account the age profile of our congregation. The new priest should have the ability to lead and teach our current members, and work to attract new and younger members of the non church-going community into our congregation. -

Maldon Town Centre's Heritage Trail 1
Maldon Town Centre Heritage Trail 1 A circular walk of about 2 miles, taking in Market Hill, of about two hours exploring Maldon’s historic town centre. The walk is dog friendly. Refreshments are widely available in the High Street The walk is for the most part accessible to wheel- chair users. Motorised wheelchair users have access to all areas except The Downs footpath and the narrow section shared with NCR1. Manual wheelchair users can access all areas except Market Hill and Thomas Plume’s Library Maldon is an historic maritime and market town of some 15,000 people in the County of Essex, situated on the Blackwater estuary. It is an ancient Anglo-Saxon burgh that was granted a Royal Charter by Henry II in 1171. From the Iron Age, it has been settled by the Romans, Saxons, Vikings and Normans and is the site of the famous Battle of Maldon fought between Vikings and the native Anglo-Saxons in 991AD. Today, Maldon is world famous for many things, such as the Maldon Mud race run in May, Maldon salt and the Thames barges that still sail from the Hythe. History and Heritage A walk along the High Street reveals many buildings whose brick facades conceal medieval timber frames. At the junction of the High Street and Market Hill stands the tower of St Peters which is attached to the building erected in 1704 by Dr Thomas Plume to house his famous library and the Maldon's grammar school. The school has long since moved and the ground floor now contains the Maeldune Centre which displays the Maldon Embroidery depicting life in the town from the Battle of Maldon to the present day. -
Beeleigh Abbey Maldon
MALDON DISTRICT COUNCIL BEELEIGH ABBEY MALDON TL 840 077 Former monastic site. Part of the monastic buildings converted to residential use in early C20 by Basil Ionides and Wykeham Chancellor. Both or either may have designed the garden, including pools and sunken courtyards adjacent to the house. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT The abbey was founded about 1180 by the migration of Premonstratensian canons from their site at Great Parndon, Essex. It was dissolved in 1536. What is known of its monastic history is detailed in the Victoria County History, but this account gives very little information about the buildings or the surrounding precinct. A detailed room-by-room inventory of the abbey was made on 6 June 1536 and shows that the majority of the contents, as well as cattle, horses, sheep and pigs, were sold to Mr Gate for £31 15s. However the commissioners retained silver plate worth £17 2s 10d. In 1537 the monastic buildings themselves, and also the mill, were leased to John Gate of Garnetts, High Easter, and granted to him three years later, together with a considerable acreage of properties in neighbouring parishes, for £300. The church and the majority of the buildings were allowed to decay (there were still some standing ruins in the C18), but the chapter house, calefactory, dorter and a fragment of the refectory in the SE corner of the cloister were retained and converted into a house, with a timber framed addition on the south end, probably on the site of the reredorter. In 1549 it was alienated to William Marche whose son died in possession in 1552. -
