[00k,] 1, p. 44. lManchester appears to have become the head of a Rural Deanery before the Hun dred of Salford was constituted, as the Deanery is commensurate with the Hundred, and yet is named after the chief town of the Ecclesiastical, and not of the Civil, district. The Rural Deanery of Manchester comprchended in the twelfth century, the Parishes of Manchester, Bolton-le-Moors, Bury, Eccles, Middleton, Radeliffe, 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. Dccanus Decanatils de Mameestr.” occurs in a deed s. d. and again “Duo. G. Dccan. de Mameestr.” attests next afior 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 “sufiiciently thick of people,” to adopt the quaint von. 11.] n 2 illotitia (tesrrimsis. An.[no] 1557, Crown presented, Hugo Grifi‘.[ith] in Deeretis Doctor. 16. p. 49. language of Fuller, “is exceedingly thin of parishes,” there being only eleven in the whole Hundred of Sali‘ord. In 1756 the county of Lancaster was deseribed as being one hundred and seventy miles in circuit and a County Palatine, as sending fourteen members to Parliament, and as having 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. 9 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 Seripture principle ncmo ciwitur sinc atipemliis militare was founded the rule that the Bishop should be entertained at the Church by the Parish Priest, which entertainment was styled Procuratio, from promrare ‘to refresh,’ as in the verse, “—————— lmti bene gestis corpora rebus Procurate viri.”—T'irg. .En. ix. 158. As soon as the Bishops ceased to hold their itinerant visitations and their Clergy were convened to their Cathedrals, the word “procuratio” came to signify (as proxy or procurah'on still does) a pecuniary sum or composition paid as a commutation for the provision or entertainment. The rate varies in different parishes. At Ashton, tho “Procuration annually, is 6s. 8d.”—See Dopping, Tract. de Viu'tat. de Epiee. p. 8; Konnct, Parneh. Ant. Glossary,- Roeves’ Eceles. Antiq. of Down, Connor, and Dro more, p. 99. 3 The ancient Episeopal Synods (which 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 only deputies or proctors of that inferior or der of Deacons, and the Urban and Rural Deans who represented all the Parochial Priests within their division. Hence the name Synodalia, called in English Sguodal: or Synodies, 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 an. 572, and payable alone to the Bishop, de jure eommuni. Kennet, Par. Ant. Gloss,- Gibson, Codex, Tit. 42, e. 9; Concilia, v. 896. " At the triennial visitation of the Bishop a procuration is still paid by certain of the Clergy, whilst the annual procuration is paid by Church-wardens at the Archdea— eon’s visitation. 5 Dedicated to St. Michael.

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 confiseated lands were restored to the earl by William Rufus, but owing to a subsequent revolt, he was banished England by Henry I. in 1102, and the erown granted this Manor to Robert de Gredle or Grelley, Lord of Manchester.

The son of Orm is styled Fitz Orm do Eston, and the old Lancashire genealogists (sec Collins’ Baronetage, vol. ii. p. 207, 1720,) have stated this Orm to be male ancestor of the Asshetons of Ashton-under Line. The proof, however, is wanting; and from a very careful and eritical examina tion of original evidences, Dr. Ormerod, the Cheshire Historian, (sec Nichols’ Collec lanca Topographic-a et Gencalogica, vol. vii.) has shown that the Manor was not really held by an Assheton, by any known authentic deed, before a Charter of Free Warren, dated the 9th Edward III.

  • Early Methodism in and Around Chester, 1749-1812
    EARIvY METHODISM IN AND AROUND CHESTER — Among the many ancient cities in England which interest the traveller, and delight the antiquary, few, if any, can surpass Chester. Its walls, its bridges, its ruined priory, its many churches, its old houses, its almost unique " rows," all arrest and repay attention. The cathedral, though not one of the largest or most magnificent, recalls many names which deserve to be remembered The name of Matthew Henry sheds lustre on the city in which he spent fifteen years of his fruitful ministry ; and a monument has been most properly erected to his honour in one of the public thoroughfares, Methodists, too, equally with Churchmen and Dissenters, have reason to regard Chester with interest, and associate with it some of the most blessed names in their briefer history. ... By John Wesley made the head of a Circuit which reached from Warrington to Shrewsbury, it has the unique distinction of being the only Circuit which John Fletcher was ever appointed to superintend, with his curate and two other preachers to assist him. Probably no other Circuit in the Connexion has produced four preachers who have filled the chair of the Conference. But from Chester came Richard Reece, and John Gaulter, and the late Rev. John Bowers ; and a still greater orator than either, if not the most effective of all who have been raised up among us, Samuel Bradburn.

DOI: 5 The Clergy at the Courts of George I and George II STEPHEN TAYLOR In the years between the Reformation and the revolution of 1688 the court lay at the very heart of English religious life. Court bishops played an important role as royal councillors in matters concerning both church and commonwealth. 1 Royal chaplaincies were sought after, both as important steps on the road of prefer- ment and as positions from which to influence religious policy.2 Printed court sermons were a prominent literary genre, providing not least an important forum for debate about the nature and character of the English Reformation.

  • The Opening of the Atlantic World: England's
    THE OPENING OF THE ATLANTIC WORLD: ENGLAND’S TRANSATLANTIC INTERESTS DURING THE REIGN OF HENRY VIII By LYDIA TOWNS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Arlington May, 2019 Arlington, Texas Supervising Committee: Imre Demhardt, Supervising Professor John Garrigus Kathryne Beebe Alan Gallay ABSTRACT THE OPENING OF THE ATLANTIC WORLD: ENGLAND’S TRANSATLANTIC INTERESTS DURING THE REIGN OF HENRY VIII Lydia Towns, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2019 Supervising Professor: Imre Demhardt This dissertation explores the birth of the English Atlantic by looking at English activities and discussions of the Atlantic world from roughly 1481-1560. Rather than being disinterested in exploration during the reign of Henry VIII, this dissertation proves that the English were aware of what was happening in the Atlantic world through the transnational flow of information, imagined the potentials of the New World for both trade and colonization, and actively participated in the opening of transatlantic trade through transnational networks. To do this, the entirety of the Atlantic, all four continents, are considered and the English activity there analyzed. This dissertation uses a variety of methods, examining cartographic and literary interpretations and representations of the New World, familial ties, merchant networks, voyages of exploration and political and diplomatic material to explore my subject across the social strata of England, giving equal weight to common merchants’ and scholars’ perceptions of the Atlantic as I do to Henry VIII’s court. Through these varied methods, this dissertation proves that the creation of the British Atlantic was not state sponsored, like the Spanish Atlantic, but a transnational space inhabited and expanded by merchants, adventurers and the scholars who created imagined spaces for the English.
