H ISTORY OF

I C HAP . .

’ ’ f irston cal S ketck of tke Monastic [nstitutions

rmerl ea [stin in E n land f o y g g .

HE ﬁrst institution of Monasteries in this country appears to have been about the middle o f the sixth century ; at which period a f considerable number were ounded , particularly in the Northern districts ; but were almost entirely v destroyed by the Norway in aders , about the year 8 6 7; and were not renewed again till the year 959 , in the reign of Edgar , surnamed the Peaceful ; when some foreign Monks again renewed the h monastic profession at Durham , York , and W itby . — f t o . Ar fi Edgar, with the assistance St Dunstan , f m ’ bishop of Canterbury, or ed a code of regu a tions for English Monks . He is said to have r - v founded or rebuilt, during his eign , forty se en to Monasteries , and caused restitution be made of all the lands formerly belonging to and taken from

Religious House s . 4 HISTORY o r

1 06 6 At the conquest, in , the Monks were greatly oppressed and pillaged ; the King seizing

upon their treasures , deposing their Abbots , forcing

upon them a new code of regulations , and making

many arbitrary distinctions , which proved very

detrimental to the institution . These innovations were however stopped by the o f wh o interposition Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury,

composed for them a new ritual, afterwards called le n usum arum Al issa i S .

1 0 During this reign , in 7 5 , the third and last regulation of Monks was made by Archbishop Lanfranc and four or ﬁve Priories are said to

have been built by the King .

William Rufus succeeding his father , in the 1 0 8 to v year 7 , appropriated himself the re enues of vacant Abbeys and Bish o pric ks and though Arm ithwaite the Priories of , in Cumberland , of

. S t St Nicholas; in Exeter , and the Hospital of .

Leonard, in York , were built and endowed at the

charge of this Monarch , yet, during his reign , the

greatest extortions were practiced upon the Monks ,

in various parts of the kingdom . 1 1 00 Henry the First, who began his reign , is

said to have been a favourer of all Religious Orders . Nine o r ten Monasteries were founded during his ﬁve reign , and new Orders brought into England;

‘ — iz v . in the first year of it came the Knights five Au Hospitalers and , about years after, the : 1 1 2 8 gustine Canons towards the year , the Cis te rc ians , the Canons of the Holy Sepulchre, and - five the Monks of Grandmont . During the thirty years of this King ’s reign there were founded v o ne o abo e hundred and fifty Religious H uses . " S te h e n fro m During the turbulent reign of King p ,

' 1 1 to o f 1 1 the year 35 that 55, there were upwards o f K I R K S T A L L A B E Y B . 5 o f mm one hundred and thirty Religious Houses , a considerable number of which were royal foun dations . In the beginning of this reign the Knights Tem plars were introduced into England as were the Praem o nstrate nsian s 1 1 6 , in the year 4 ; and shortly was after the Gilbertine Order instituted, in Lin l hir c o ns e .

I 1 55 . Henry the Second affected to be a great friend to Monastic institutions himself founding the ﬁrst Carthusian Monastery in England, besides eight others o f different Orders . The whole num ber built , or renewed , during his reign , amounted to one hundred and sixty - four : and though the jealousy of the other Orders had produced (at a 1 1 1 s General Chapter , in 5 ) a Canon again t insti tuting any more Cistercian Abbeys , yet nineteen v of the abo ementioned were of that Order, and there were then in Christendom upwards of ﬁve hundred ; which afterwards increased so much , 1 2 0 that , in the year 5 , they amounted to eighteen hundred . v I 1 8 9 . Richard the First is said to ha e disliked the Monastics , and had a moral hatred to the

Black Monks , Cistercians , and Templars yet ,

ﬁft ~ s ve n during his reign , there were y e new foun dations .

1 1 . 99 King John , though no friend to Eccle siastic s , founded a stately Abbey of Cistercians , at

Beaulieu , in Hampshire and four other Religious

Houses . During his reign there were founded to Monasteries , Hospitals, the number of

- eighty one . 1 2 1 6 . In the reign of King Henry the Third , the riches , and consequently the power of the to so Ecclesiastics , increased alarming a degree , A 2 that H I S T O R Y O F

o f s d to i that an Act Parliament was pas e , restra n

the superstitious prodigality of the people . At the o f Friars Pr ach commencement this reign , the , e ers, f and Friar Minors came into England ; and, be ore th—e end of it, eight sorts of Friars were among us . During this long reign there were instituted , of t Priories, Monasteries , and Hospitals , wo hundred v were ‘ fo unde d th Kin and ten;se eral of which by e g .

1 2 . 7 5 During the reign of Edward the First , the former Statute , against the appropriation o f estates to the Monks , was further strengthened by additional Acts and the reverence of the people f r r o the Monastics was g eatly abated , partly from f o . the insinuations the Friars During this reign , to Religious Houses , Hospitals, were founded, the number of one hundred and ﬁve ; besides a large number of Chantries founded for the Secular

Clergy . Edward , during his war with France, sie z ed v all the Alien Priories, and remo ed the se a o f Monks twenty miles from the , for fear their connection with his enemies . 1 0 3 9 . In the nineteen years reign of King

Edward the Second , Hospitals and Religious

- to . Houses , the number of forty four, were founded - I h 1 1 2 this reign , anno 3 , the Knights Templars v were seized , their Order dissol ed, and their goods confiscated : Which property was first taken by v the King , but afterwards gi en to the Hospitalers . 1 2 8 3 . During the fifty one years reign of

Edward the Third , one of the present Colleges of

Oxford was founded, besides other Colleges and v —ﬁv e . Religious Houses , to the number of se enty 1 3 7 8 . Richard the Second restored to the Monks the estates which had been conﬁscated by his grandfather but, during his reign , only twen ty-two l n t orei n Monasterie Be ongi g o f g s. K I R K S T A L L A E EE Y t - wo l f y t Religious Houses were bui t , and none o these royal foundation . The doctrines of Wickliffe began greatly to pre v ail about this time , and the Mendicant Friars , to in consequence, loose their reputation .

1 00. 4 King Henry the Fourth , in the fourth year of his reign , held a Parliament at Coventry 3 wherein it was proposed to enact a law to enable the King to raise money to carry on a foreign war, and defend the realm against the Welch and v the Scotch , and that the Clergy should be depri ed of their temporal possessions . But Archbishop Arundel representing to the King and Commons the impolicy o f the measure , and how ready the Go Clergy were , upon all occasions, to assist the vernm e nt h o w , with their prayers and purses, and great a number of their tenants assisted in time of

. v war, the project was laid aside It was, howe er , 1 1 0 again renewed by the Commons , in 4 , but six without effect . This Monarch built Colleges six and Hospitals , which were all the Religious

Houses built in his reign . 1 1 2 o f 4 . In the second year the succeeding reign of King Henry the Fifth , another attempt a v was made ag inst the re enues of the Church , with n . o better success But, in a Parliament held the same year, at Leicester, all the Alien Priories were given to the King except such as were Con ventual o wn , or had the liberty of choosing their two Prior . In this reign only Colleges and two Abbeys were founded . 1 2 2 of 4 . During the unhappy reign King - Henry the Sixth , there were founded thirty three R v o f f eligious Houses , se eral which were ounded h f by t e King himsel . 1 60 4 . I n H I S T O R Y O F

1 6 0 4 . In the reign of Edward the Fourth

c o f BOUT this time Henry de La y, Earl ff v Lincoln , su ering under a iolent disease , and perhaps thinking thereby to make restitution vo w for all his sins, engaged himself, by a solemn , to erect a stately Monastery to the Holy Virgin , if he should recover, and again enjoy the blessings f o health . T v o which end, immediately upon his reco ery, ’ f in he sent for the Abbot o Fountain s Abbey, vo w formed him of his , and solemnly , by charter , B rn oldswick assigned over his town of e , for the purpose of erecting and endowing a Monastery . him This town was held by of Hugh Bigot, Earl o f o f ﬁve s Norfolk, at the yearly rent mark , and an annual present of a hawk ; which rent he had omitted I R A L L B B K K S T A E Y . omitted to pay for several years ; but of this the Monks were ignorant neither did they know that was his title any way disputable ; they therefore, f accepted his gift , and built some small o ﬁces for to their residence, changing the name ofthe place that of Mount St Mary . At that time Henry

Murdock formerly a Monk of Fountains , was

Archbishop of York . he likewise conﬁrmed, by the Papal authority, the quiet possession of the 1 1 spot assigned them . And In the year 47 , Alex o f to ander, Prior Fountains, brother Richard,

' lac e Abbo ta r Abbot of that p , was elected on ‘ And 1 m the 4th of June, in the same year, acco panied v set o ut by twel e Monks and ten Lay Brothers , for the new Monastery of Mount St Mary . They had not been long in possession o f their new settlement before a violent dispute arose between them and the neighbouring inhabitants . Be rnoldSWIck The Church of , which was very s v v o c cu ancient, had er ed four illages ; this being pied by the Monks , by whom also many of the inhabitants had been displaced from their dwel m lings, they asse bled in the Church , together with their Presbyter and Clerk, and greatly disturbed and abused the Monks, whom they considered as

v o f . in aders their property The Abbot , highly d to v incense , and , as he pretended , pre ent the like t disturbance again , caused the Church o be pulled h r un to t e o d. down , g A complaint against this arbitrary proceeding was laid before the Bishop and Metropolitan but the Monks moving the suit to r to Rome , had inte est procure a determination v in their fa our—; for which the following reasons were assignedz That it was conducive to ripening the fruits o f piety ; and that it was lawful and i e o c in o e to p ous to d str y a Chur h, rd r establish a Monastery; H I S T O R Y O F

Urged y these e ils , and ex hauste d o f b b e by the struggle six years , the Ab ot gan to think o f removing the seat of his Monastery

had this in contemplation , it happened that, tra v elling on some business of his house, he passed v Aire whe re through the rich and peaceful alley of , h um ble S l th he met with the settlement of e e .

He therefore began gen tly to admonish the brethren of the insufﬁciency of their present state for the safety of their souls urging the smallness of their num w ber that they , being all Laymen , and ithout a

Priest. were like sheep without a shepherd and advising them to adopt some more perfect form of religious government Whereupon several of them agreed to become Monks in his Convent v and others, recei ing a small sum of money for

their habitations , departed .

Present tate o tbc Abbe S f y.

LATE author has given us the following Sketch of the present appearance of the ruins of this Abbey . O v If, in the progress of our bser ations on the v ruined ediﬁces of religion , we ha e occasionally commented upon the dreary site of some Abbeys , v clear it is , from the specimen before us , that e en the same Order of Monks (Cistercian) did n o t agree in their ideas of local m o rtiﬁc atio n or hap pin e ss the Founder Of this Abbey having seem in l g y steered aloof from penance , by courting nei as ther the sterile damps , nor exposed situation nothing can exceed the sylvan scenes and wildly S e le th rural beauties of the place . Nor was , the v original Superior, wrong , in this sense, e en upon le e n de r the g y ground of a divine impulse , when

he made this alluring spot his abode . Ill, me

thinks , did it comport with the gloomy, weeping ur e sius T g , the fourth Abbot, that clerical Hera clitus of his time whose view was that of making v to e ery pleasure be grief, piety pain , knowledge

ignorance , and strength inﬁrmity . Neither is the ruin less pleasin g and pic

ture s u e h v . q , on w ate er side you approach it The

soothing and harmonious variety of its parts , with th e v w v enerable aspect of the hole , capti ate the

mind to that degree, as to cancell, in a manner, k all concern for its present state . For, li e the his Censor, Cato, in old age , it supports that dig mity in decay which seems to boast a t riumph

v v Again , the blended egetation e ery where dispersed , on the crown of the Dormitory and other places , like the airy Garden of Babylon , of which Historians speak , seems to familiarize the wonder of those days While the cells below, made more subterraneous from accumulated ruin with v w out, join in gi ing the hole all the peculiarity and air of ancient ﬁction , or Fairy enchantment . This stately pile of ruins extends over a cou si derable l space Their ength , from North to South , 0 measuring 34 feet and from East to West, 445 1 1 1 is feet and a quadrangle, of 5 by 43 feet , inclosed within the walls . At a small distance , - North West of this mass, stands what was once the chief gate of the Monastery It Is now converted

- into a farm house . v The Church is in the form of a cross . O er the intersection of the cross aisles with the body , which is within ﬁfty feet of the East end , stands a ver latel in ood re air handsome square tower , y y g p , Dr B to v said , by urton , ha e been built in the time m of Henry the Eighth . From some arks in this tower , it appears the Church has had two different wo . v v t roofs The body is di ided into a na e, and d v side aisles , by a ouble row of massi e columns , composed alternately of an assemblage of eight and twelve smaller ones having a kind of Saxon c a pital , and square pedestal the side of each pedes two tal measuring yards . These columns support r h pointed a c e s over which is a range of windows , whose arches are semicircular .

The roof, between the Tower and the East end, w t here the high Alter s ood, was adorned with fret work and intersecting arches the greater part v of which has lately fallen in , co ering the altar in its n rui s . There is not the least trace of a single monum e nt H I S T O R Y O F monument within the Church neither is it loaded w S O c o m ith that profusion of triﬂing ornaments,

mon in what are stiled Gothic buildings , but is f r justly admirable o its elegant simplicity . It is observable that it does not point due East and

West . At the East end of the Church is the broken t e o f mains the high Altar , and of stone pots for holy water which indicate that there were at this place

six smaller Altars, dedicated to there respective

saints . The Eastern window appears to have been spa c io us is to v , and said ha e been of ﬁne painted glass . o n f o f South of the Church , and the East ront v v the ruins , are se eral aulted chambers , supported v by strong columns, which ha e a most gloomy appearance the southernmost o f them is near

falling . buriaP On the South side, near the Palace, is the r place for the Monks, now converted into an o v chard , and o ergrown with deep weeds . C to emetr In the arched hamber leading this C y, are the remains o f several large stone c o ﬂins And a o it is said that some persons not long g , pulling O v down part f the wall in this passage , disco ered a parcel of mouldering bones . The arch over the West door o f the Church is - : circular , and decorated with zig zag ornaments

Indeed most of the arches about this Monastery, o f the Church excepted, are circular. Many the v mouldering walls are o ershadowed with trees, and iv mantled with y, a circumstance which adds great ly to the solemnity of the scene . There is a story of a subterraneous passage at - o f ro the South East corner the ruins, which was p bably neither more nor less than o ne o f the larger n drains . O

H E broken and imperfect accounts which v and ha e been handed down respecting this, n the generality of ancient Religious Houses , re der it impossible to give a complete history . This so to circumstance, truly be lamented, arises, in a great degree , from the barbarous and general destruction which was made of books and writings to by the persons employed deface those places , at the dissolution of all the Monasteries , by King B Henry the igth when , according to the account o r of John Bale, all , most of the books and writings o f - the Monks , were sold, by cart loads , for waste

to . paper , or left the mercy of the illiterate mob to The allegations brought against the Monks , defend the meas—ure of the abolition o f their House and Order, were their luxurious and debauched v manner of li ing, pretended miracles, impostures ,

But when we consider, that these accounts e i e n for o f w re , g ven by the persons s t the purpose impeaching
