THE HERALDIC STAINED GLASS AT RONAELE MANOR THE STAIR HALL THE COLLECTION OF HERALDIC STAINED GLASS AT RONAELE MANOR ELKINS PARK PENNSYLVANIA THE RESIDENCE OF Mr. & Mrs. FITZ EUGENE DIXON DESCRIBED BY F. SYDNEY EDEN AUTHOR OF "ANCIENT STAINED AND PAINTED GLASS" PRINTED BY THE ARDEN PRESS, LONDON MCMXXVII J?E3 2 5 1953 3^* PREFACE HE sumptuous and important collection of ancient stained glass described in this book is entirely made up of panels which, until re- cently, adorned the windows of some of Eng- land's most famous houses. The heraldry depicted in these panels brings forcibly before us many of the most moving scenes of Eng- land's story, and, in their blaze of colour and in their form, the actors in such scenes are seen again to walk the stage of history. The Wars of the Roses, the strong and brilliant rule of the two Henrys, the seventh and the eighth, follow on and grow out of the events of Edward Ill's reign and the rivalries and jealou- sies of his descendants, and are themselves the roots from which sprang the ambitions and dissensions which charac- terised later Tudor days and the years of the Stuart Dynasty. All these and much more live again in this ancient heraldry ; more may be learnt from it by the thoughtful and observant mind than from many a page of the history books. Heraldry tells its story in clear, incisive language, without passion or exaggeration, and it is often found to be the key to the solu- tion of problems which have perplexed and baffled the most learned of historians. It would have wearied the reader and overburdened these pages to have told all that one would like to have told of the great folk—churchmen, statesmen, soldiers, scholars and cour- tiers—whose coat armour glows in the windows at Ronaele Manor, but it is hoped that enough has been said to adequately illustrate their heraldry and, before all, to whet the reader's appetite for fuller knowledge. A note of contrast is struck by the panels of a domestic character, from old English, Dutch and Flemish homes. They v Preface tell of the lives and endeavours of merchant-adventurers and craftsmen of the seventeenth century, of their bold voyaging in little-known seas and of the simplicity, and dignity withal, of their daily doings. The shepherd with his flock, the birds round the homestead, the harvest of the sea, all such things, common and daily sights, varied by snatches from classical story and mediaeval legend, find their place in this painted glass from old windows. Nemo est haeres viventis, so I will not call the American people the heirs of Europe by reason of their conservation of so much of the best of the ancient art of the Old World, but I do rejoice in the loving care and thoughtful appreciation shown by them in dealing with such of it as comes their way. To the expert knowledge, artistic discrimination and zeal displayed by Mr. Roy Grosvenor Thomas and Mr. Wilfred Drake is primarily due the credit for assembling this remark- able collection of gems of ancient art now set up in the win- dows of Ronaele Manor.

All these deco- rated the windows of the great house built at Cassiobury in Hertfordshire by Sir Richard Morrison and his son Charles between the years 1545 and 1556, a part of which is incorpo- rated in the present house there, restored by the architect James Wyatt, in 1800, by the order of the first Earl of Essex of the Capel family. Prior to the removal of these panels to Ronaele Manor they were fixed in the windows of the cloister on the south-west side of the courtyard of Wyatt's building. ^,. The first light from the west shows the arms of John Dud- ley, Duke of Northumberland, whose ill-laid plan to divert the succession to the crown of England on the death of Edward VI to his own family ended in his own beheading on Tower Hill and the imprisonment of his five sons in the Tower of London. Of these, Guilford, and his child-wife, Jane Grey, the Queen of a day, were executed for their enforced complicity in Northumberland's treason, and the others, John, Ambrose, Robert and Henry, remained under arrest for some time. In the Tower of London, in the Beauchamp Tower, is to be seen A I Heraldic Stained Glass to-day a carved wall-panel commemorating the imprisonment of these brothers, done by the eldest of them, John, to while away the tedious hours of his enforced stay in durance. This shield was painted before John Dudley's elevation to the Dukedom, when he was Earl of Warwick only. Several of the quarterings in this shield are painted in black and white only, though some of them show examples of ' abraded ' work—the removal of a coloured ' flash ' or veneer on white glass—so as to indicate coloured objects on white or white objects on colour, as the case may be. The fourteen quarterings which follow the lion of Dudley in this shield call for a few remarks, for so many quarterings indicate a claim to very ancient descent, and it is a notorious fact that the question of the origin of the Dudleys is not free from difficulty. There was a story, put about by enemies of the family, to the effect that Edmund Dudley, Henry VII's Minister, was the son of a carpenter in the town of Dudley who migrated to Lewes in Sussex, but this tale has been quite disproved by the discovery, some years ago, of the will of Edmund's father, John Dudley of Atherington in Sussex, Esquire, High Sheriff of his County.

  • Stapylton Final Version
    1 THE PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE OF FREEDOM FROM ARREST, 1603–1629 Keith A. T. Stapylton UCL Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Page 2 DECLARATION I, Keith Anthony Thomas Stapylton, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed Page 3 ABSTRACT This thesis considers the English parliamentary privilege of freedom from arrest (and other legal processes), 1603-1629. Although it is under-represented in the historiography, the early Stuart Commons cherished this particular privilege as much as they valued freedom of speech. Previously one of the privileges requested from the monarch at the start of a parliament, by the seventeenth century freedom from arrest was increasingly claimed as an ‘ancient’, ‘undoubted’ right that secured the attendance of members, and safeguarded their honour, dignity, property, and ‘necessary’ servants. Uncertainty over the status and operation of the privilege was a major contemporary issue, and this prompted key questions for research. First, did ill definition of the constitutional relationship between the crown and its prerogatives, and parliament and its privileges, lead to tensions, increasingly polemical attitudes, and a questioning of the royal prerogative? Where did sovereignty now lie? Second, was it important to maximise the scope of the privilege, if parliament was to carry out its business properly? Did ad hoc management of individual privilege cases nevertheless have the cumulative effect of enhancing the authority and confidence of the Commons? Third, to what extent was the exploitation or abuse of privilege an unintended consequence of the strengthening of the Commons’ authority in matters of privilege? Such matters are not treated discretely, but are embedded within chapters that follow a thematic, broadly chronological approach.

St. Bartholomew's Priory and Church When, Btfilt.-j-Jt* Present Appearance Refectory, Crypt, and Subterranean Passage Bartholomew Close Monuments in the Church Story of Rahere, Founder of the Priory Fracas in the Priory St. Bartholomew's Hospital Canonbury Canonbury Tower Goldsmith's Residence Prior Bolton's Residence Bartholomew Fair. ON the southeastern side of Smithfield stand the remains of the beautiful church and once vast and wealthy priory of St. Bartholomew, founded by Rahere, the first prior, in the reign of Henry the First. At the time of the suppression of the religious houses in the reign of Henry the Eighth, it was distinguished by its vast extent of building, its beautiful and shady gardens, its exquisite cloisters, its grand refectory, its fish-ponds, and by all the appurtenances of a great monastic establishment. Its mulberry garden, planted by Prior Bolton, was famous. Passing under a gateway rich with carved roses and zigzag ornaments, we enter the fine old church of St. Bartholomew. As we gaze on the solidity of its massive pillars, its graceful arches, and the beauty of its architectural details, we are at once impressed with that sense of grandeur and solemnity which only such a scene can inspire. The remains of the old church are in the Norman style of architecture, and are apparently of the same date as the earlier portions of Winchester, Cathp^r?.!. Some notion of its former magnificen.ce.

  • Notes on the Life of Sir John Baker of Sissinghurst, Kent
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 38 1926 NOTES ON THE LIFE OF SIR, JOHN BAKER OF SISSINGHURST, KENT. COMPILED BY THE REV. F. V. BAKER. SIB JOHN BAKER, Chancellor of the Exchequer under Henry VIII., Edward VI., Mary, and Elizabeth, was the son of Richard Baker of Cranbrook, and grandson of Thomas Baker. He was born at Cranbrook about 1488, as he gives his age as 62 or thereabouts in 1550. He and his two brothers and three sisters are all mentioned in the will of his grandfather, made on 3 February 1493 (P.C.C., 16, Home). His grandmother, Mistress Benet Baker, lived until 1509 (will at'Canterbury). His father, Richard Baker, died on 9 August 1504, when John would be about 16. In his will he leaves " to John my son a niaser and flat piece of silver on his coming to the age of xxiui years, and after him to Thomas my son. To my. son James my greatest brasse pot." He leaves 20 marks to the marriage of his daughters, and the rest of his goods to the guiding of "Johanne my wyfe." Then follow these words: " My executors to pay to John my sonne yerely until he come at the age of 24 years to find him to scole as well in recompense of the lands in Stapul- her'st by my father assigned to him and of my bequest to fynde him to his lernyng in Court." These words are noteworthy, for they imply that his father already had the intention of entering him at one of the Inns of Court.

  • Legal Celebrities of Kent
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 5 1863 19 LEGAL CELEBRITIES OF KENT. BY EDWARD FOJ3S, 3T.S.A. No one, I think, will deny that Law is as much con- nected with Archaeology as any subject upon which our members are in the habit of treating. If the history of our ancient edifices, the time of their erection, the prin- ciple of their construction, and the order of their archi- tecture, are interesting to trace, it still more concerns us to know something about the builders, the inventors, and the occupiers of them. The same remark may be made as to the dress and utensils, the habits and cus- toms, of our forefathers;—especially when we are able to prove the continuance of them, or, at all events, their connection with what we see around us at the present day. Amidst all the changes which time has produced in vestments, in ornaments, in habits and customs, the annals of the law afford the fewest variations, and we still find among the lawyers the same practices in exist- ence, and nearly the same attire used, as were adopted in the time of the Conquest;—and if that is not a pe- riod sufficiently distant to satisfy the cravings of the most rigid archaeologist, our modern Law Terms, Hilary, Easter, and Trinity, have an origin more ancient still. I have already shown in a previous workl that these three Terms were introduced into this country so long ago as the reign of Edward the Elder; and that they were confirmed by William the Conqueror; and I explained 1 ' Judges of England,' vol.
