PART II. OHN BRIDGEMAN was admitted to the rectory of Wigan on the 21st of January, 1615-16. JHe was the eldest son of Mr. Thomas Bridgeman of Greenway, otherwise called Spyre Park, near Exeter, in the county of Devon, and grandson of Mr. Edward Bridgeman, sheriff of the city and county of Exeter for the year 1562-3.1 John Bridgeman was born at Exeter, in Cookrow Street, and christened at the church of St. Petrok's in that city, in the paro- chial register of which is the following entry : " the seconde of November, A.D. 1597, John Bridgman, the son of Thomas Bridgman, was baptized." '1 Bishop John Bridgeman is rightly described by Sir Peter Leycester as the son of Mr. Thomas Bridgeman of Greenway, though Ormerod, in his History of Cheshire, who takes Leycester's Historical Antiquities as the groundwork for his History, erro- neously calls him the son of Edward Bridgeman, and Ormerod's mistake has been repeated by his later editor (Helsby's ed. vol. i. p. 99). My authority for his parent- age is the best that can be given, viz., a memorandum in his own handwriting, preserved among the family evidences at Weston. The Leger, or memorandum book, in which it occurs, is a MS. (marked No. 2) containing much valuable information, from which a list of loans, contributions and subsidies, and also of ship money, paid by the clergy of the diocese of Chester, between the years 162o and 1639 inclusive, has been published in vol. xii. of the Record Society for Lancashire and Cheshire. The Leger refers chiefly to matters between the years 16o8 and 1641, and contains more than Soo folio pages written in the minute and careful autograph of the bishop himself. It is in a good state of preservation, though a few of the early pages, containing tran- scripts of deeds connected with his paternal inheritance at Spyre Park, are damaged and partially corroded. This is the volume which will be generally referred to in this memoir, under the title of "Familywww.flatcapsandbonnets.com Evidences," where it is not otherwise specified.

He commenced his college life at Oriel College, Oxford, from whence he removed to St. Peter's college, Cambridge. Anthony a Wood tells us that on 12th July, 1597, John Bridgeman, B.A., was incorporated at Oxford.' He was elected a fellow of Magdalene college, Cambridge, 31st October, 1599, having been proposed for election on 21st May, 1598, as it was then the custom to pre-elect before a vacancy actually occurred ; and the following entry records his election in the college books ; "Ego Yohannes Bridgman admissus fui in perpetuum Socium hujus Collegii pro domino fundatore in locum quem nuper resignavit Magister Paulus Brudenel tricesimo prima Octobris, A.D. I 5 99."2 Having commenced M.A. at Cambridge, on 11th April, 1600, he was admitted ad eundem at Oxford on 4th July of the same year.3 He was ordained deacon and priest by Dr. Thomas Dove, bishop of Peterborough, at Walden, 29th April, 1601, and quali- fied as his chaplain on 2nd August, of the same year.4 He was made university preacher on 1st July, 1603 ;5 and in the following year was preferred by his uncle, Mr. Jasper Bridgeman, to the prebend of Carswell attached to St. Mary's chapel in the castle of Exeter, to which he was admitted by Bishop Cotton on 20th February, 1603-4.6 It would seem that at this time he resided upon his fellowship at Magdalene college, for on 18th May, 1604, a notice occurs in the college books of his having leave of absence until the ensuing Michaelmas, reserving to him the rights and profits of his fellow- ship, dividend only excepted. This notice is signed by himself. On 4th October, 1604, he was instituted to the rectory of North Tawton, in Devonshire, void by the death of Christopher Cottle, on the presentation of Mark Cottle, Esq., and Richard Cottle, his son and heir, dated on 2nd July of that year.'

At this time the bishop of Peterborough, who seems to have been his constant friend, wrote a letter on his behalf to the Earl of Suffolk,2 then Lord Chamberlain, to ask preferment for him. In this letter, which is dated from Peterborough on 16th October, 1604, the bishop speaks of him as a fellow of Magdalene college, Cambridge, and says : "He is an honest man, a good scholer, and a rare preacher : this I doe report out of mine owne knowledge, being well acquaynted bothe Wth the sufficiencie of his learning and wth the synceritie of his lyfe by the meanes of his domesticall conversation wth me."3 Shortly afterwards, namely on 13th October, 1604, he was presented by King James I. to the rectory of Lezant, in the county of Cornwal1,4 and on the 21st of the same month to the vicarage of Alvington, in the county of Devon,5 to which last he was admitted on the 3rd of the following December.6 In the following year he accepted a prebendal stall in the cathedral church of Peterborough, to which he was collated on 13th April, 1603,7 by his friend and patron Bishop Dove, with whom he resided when at Peterborough. He was made chaplain in ordinary to King James I. in 1605, he was sworn at Grafton,8 and was in waiting at that summer's progress at Oxford. • Thomas Howard, first baron Howard de Walden, created Earl of Suffolk in 1603. • Reg.

In the meantime, namely, on 29th April, 1606, he married, in Dunchideock church, Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. William Helyar, archdeacon of Barnstaple, rector of Dunchideock and canon of Exeter.I Their eldest son, William Bridgeman, was born on 4th February, probably in his grandfather's house, at Dunchideock, where he was baptized on 6th February, 16o6-7. He died at Wigan in the loth year of his age, on the 26th of July, 1616,2 and was buried on the following day in the chancel of Wigan parish church.3 In the year 16o7 Mr. John Bridgeman was presented to the vicarage of Heavitree, near Exeter.4 It is probable that at this period of his life he resided at Exeter, for his second son Orlando (afterwards Lord Chief Justice and Lord Keeper of the Great Seal) was born there on 30th January, 1608-9, and baptized at St. George's church in that city two days afterwards by Mr. More, the sponsors being Mr. Jasper Bridgeman (his great uncle), Mr. Edward Gibbons, and Mrs. Elacot.5 On 5th October of that year he left Exeter with his household and took up his residence at Peterborough, where he lodged at first in the palace of the bishop, whom he paid for his diet at the rate of £20 per annum ; and on 28th October he was chosen by the dean and chapter, receiver and treasurer of the cathedral church of Peterborough. His third son, Dove, was born at Peter- borough in the bishop's palace on 21st March, 1609.--1o, and baptized in the cathedral on the 23rd of the same Month.

  • The Value of Books
    The Value of Books: The York Minster Library as a social arena for commodity exchange. Master’s thesis, 60 credits, Spring 2018 Author: Luke Kelly Supervisor: Gudrun Andersson Seminar chair: Dag Lindström Date: 12/01/2018 HISTORISKA INSTITUTIONEN It would be the height of ignorance, and a great irony, if within a work focused on the donations of books, that the author fails to acknowledge and thank those who assisted in its production. Having been distant from both Uppsala and close friends whilst writing this thesis, (and missing dearly the chances to talk to others in person), it goes without saying that this work would not be possible if I had not had the support of many generous and wonderful people. Although to attempt to thank all those who assisted would, I am sure, fail to acknowledge everyone, a few names should be highlighted: Firstly, thank you to all of my fellow EMS students – the time spent in conversation over coffees shaped more of this thesis than you would ever realise. Secondly, to Steven Newman and all in the York Minster Library – without your direction and encouragement I would have failed to start, let alone finish, this thesis. Thirdly, to all members of History Node, especially Mikael Alm – the continued enthusiasm felt from you all reaches further than you know. Fourthly, to my family and closest – thank you for supporting (and proof reading, Maja Drakenberg) me throughout this process. Any success of the work can be attributed to your assistance. Finally, to Gudrun Andersson – thank you for offering guidance and support throughout this thesis’ production.

  • Runaway Wives: Husband Desertion in Medieval England
    RUNAWAY WIVES: HUSBAND DESERTION IN MEDIEVAL ENGLAND By Sara Butler Loyola University New Orleans Scholars of the medieval family would generally agree that the lot of the me- dieval wife was not an easy one. Medieval husbands held the upper hand in the power relationship, both legally and socially. Although Lawrence Stone's view of niarried life in the Middle Ages as "brutal and often hostile, with little communication, [and] much wife-beating" has since been called into question, more recent historians have still painted a somewhat unflattering picture.' Ju- dith Bennett writes that "[m]edieval people thought of conjugality as a hierar- chy headed by a husband who not only controlled his wife's financial assets and public behavior, but also freely enforced his will through physical violence."^ Indeed, she argues that wife-beating was "a normal part of marriage."^ Even Bar- bara Hanawalt, who has optimistically described peasant marriage in medieval England as a partnership, still concedes that occasional violence was acceptable and expected in marriage.'' What is more, the rules of coverture, which adhered to the biblical principal of husband and wife as one flesh represented at law by the husband, left a wife economically vulnerable. Because all real and movable property legally belonged to the husband as head of the household, a wife who fell out of favor with her husband might well find herself expelled from the family home, without any resources to fall back on.^ From a modern perspective, mari- tal practices hardly provided any sense of reassurance. At a time when families, more often than individuals, took the lead in spousal selection, and inheritance and status were the chief criteria, strong bonds of affection were not guaranteed.

  • FPS/Q2371/14A/16 Decision Dated 7 September 2018
    Appeal Decision by Alan Beckett BA MSc MIPROW an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Decision date: 7 September 2018 Appeal Ref: FPS/Q2371/14A/16 This Appeal is made under Section 53 (5) and Paragraph 4 (1) of Schedule 14 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (the 1981 Act) against the decision of Lancashire County Council (the Council) not to make an Order under section 53 (2) of that Act. The application dated 6 March 2017 was refused by the Council on 3 October 2017. The Appellant claims that the definitive map and statement of public rights of way should be modified by upgrading footpaths 54 and 55 in the parish of Coppull to bridleways (shown by bold broken line on the plan attached to this decision). Summary of Decision: The Appeal is dismissed. Preliminary Matters 1. I have been directed by the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to determine this appeal under Section 53 (5) and Paragraph 4 (1) of Schedule 14 of the 1981 Act. 2. This appeal has been determined on the basis of the papers submitted. Main Issues 3. The need for an Order to be considered when evidence is submitted in support of a claim that a public right of way which is already shown in the definitive map is subject to additional public rights is dealt with under section 53 of the 1981 Act. Section 53 (3) (c) (ii) of the 1981 Act provides that an Order should be made on the discovery of evidence which, when considered with all other relevant evidence available, shows that a highway shown in the map and statement as a highway of a particular description ought to be there shown as a highway of a different description.

Donahue IN SEARCH OF A GLOBAL, GODLY ORDER: THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT AND THE ORIGINS OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, 1908-1918 Abstract by James M. Donahue This dissertation traces the origins of the League of Nations movement during the First World War to a coalescent international network of ecumenical figures and Protestant politicians. Its primary focus rests on the World Alliance for International Friendship Through the Churches, an organization that drew Protestant social activists and ecumenical leaders from Europe and North America. The World Alliance officially began on August 1, 1914 in southern Germany to the sounds of the first shots of the war. Within the next three months, World Alliance members began League of Nations societies in Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain and the United States. The World Alliance then enlisted other Christian institutions in its campaign, such as the International Missionary Council, the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A., the Blue Cross and the Student Volunteer Movement. Key figures include John Mott, Charles Macfarland, Adolf Deissmann, W. H. Dickinson, James Allen Baker, Nathan Söderblom, Andrew James M.

The Latitudinarian Influence on Early English Liberalism Amanda Oh Professor Wellman HIST 4300: Junior Seminar 30 April 2018 Part I: Introduction The end of the seventeenth century in England saw the flowering of liberal ideals that turned on new beliefs about the individual, government, and religion. At that time the relationship between these cornerstones of society fundamentally shifted. The result was the preeminence of the individual over government and religion, whereas most of Western history since antiquity had seen the manipulation of the individual by the latter two institutions. Liberalism built on the idea that both religion and government were tied to the individual. Respect for the individual entailed respect for religious diversity and governing authority came from the assent of the individual.

  • Notes on the Parish Church of St. Wilfred, Standish Introduction
    NOTES ON THE PARISH CHURCH OF ST. WILFRED, STANDISH By William Frederick Price Read I7th November 1904 INTRODUCTION,. RAPT in the mist of unwritten history there W is some tradition that long before the coming of the Normans, Standish was a fortified station or camp of some importance. Lying, as it does, on an elevated plateau 370 feet above sea- level, on the direct route of the Roman road between Wigan and Walton-le-Dale, there may be some truth in the tradition. The fact that the Romans were acquainted with the use of coal is now fully established, and so great an authority on mining as Professor Hull considers there is good evidence that they discovered and worked the Arley seam which crops out along the banks of the river Douglas between Standish and Wigan. Years ago, while driving a tunnel to divert the course of the river, this coal seam of 6 feet in thickness was found to have been mined in a manner hitherto altogether unknown. "It was excavated into a series of polygonal chambers, with vertical walls opening into each other by short passages, and, on the whole, presenting on a ground plan something of the appearance of a honeycomb. The chambers were regular in size and form, and were altogetherdifferent from anything within the ex­ perience of the miners of the district; there is some- 1905 SIDE, SOUTH CHURCH, STANDISH 238. p. face To Parish Church of 'St. Wilfred, Standish 239 thing in the symmetrical arrangement and regu­ larity of the works peculiarly Roman, reminding one of their tesselated pavements."- The .Coalfields of Great Britain,^.

  • Information Pack Introduction
    The Diocese of Sodor and Man Together making Christ visible The Archdeacon of Man and Vicar of St George & All Saints, Douglas Job information pack Introduction We are seeking to appoint an Archdeacon of Man and Vicar of the Parish of St George & All Saints, Douglas, with effect from December 2021. The Crown has the right of appointment to the Archdeaconry and the Bishop the right of patronage to the Parish. It is, therefore, intended that the Crown and Bishop will make a joint appointment. We are looking for a priest, probably with fifteen years of parochial experience, who can imagine and enable God's mission, with energy and a desire to serve God and people, and who is called to use administrative and pastoral gifts in the care and support of our clergy and parishes. The Archdeacon has responsibilities across the whole of the island-diocese, working with colleagues in diocesan roles, with those involved in public ministry, with parishes, with our ecumenical partners and with many non-church agencies in helping to create conditions for mission and growth. The ministry of the Archdeacon is to assist in the efficient and pastorally-sensitive running of the Diocese. The Archdeacon is to encourage the pursuit of excellence to create the best conditions for growth in every dimension of the Christian life and of the mission Christ has committed to His Church. St. George's Church is the civic church of Douglas, effectively only second in significance to the Cathedral, and exercises an important ministry in the wider life of the capital city of the Isle of Man.
