    Feet of Fines – Worcester references plus William Worcester publications: http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk Abstracts of Feet of Fines: Introduction The aim of this project is to provide abstracts of the medieval feet of fines that have not yet been published, for the period before 1509. A list of published editions, together with links to the abstracts on this site, can be found here. Alternatively, the abstracts can be searched for entries of interest. Background In the late 12th century a procedure evolved for ending a legal action by agreement between the parties. The agreement was known as a final concord (or fine). Originally this was a means of resolving genuine disputes, but by the middle of the 13th century the fine had become a popular way of conveying freehold property, and the legal action was usually a fictitious one, initiated with the cooperation of both parties. This procedure survived until the 1830s. Originally, each party would be given a copy of the agreement, but in 1195 the procedure was modified, so that three copies were made on a single sheet of parchment, one on each side and one at the foot. The copies would then be separated by cutting the parchment along indented (wavy) lines as a precaution against forgery. The right and left hand copies were given to the parties and the third copy at the foot was retained by the court. For this reason the documents are known as feet of fines. The following information is available online: Court of Common Pleas, General Eyres and Court of King's Bench: Feet of Fines Files, Richard I - Henry VII (to 1509) and Henry VIII - Victoria (from 1509) (descriptions of class CP 25 in The National Archives online catalogue) Land Conveyances: Feet of Fines, 1182-1833 (National Archives information leaflet) [Internet Archive copy from August 2004] CP 25/1/45/76, number 9.

Library 5 Monumental Inscription notebooks ­ numbering 6 Index to collection 7-1 1 Sussex Archaeological Society library Barbican House Lewes. November 1984' INTRODUCTION The papers in this collection are the work of Edwin Hadlow Wl6e Dunkin, F.S.A. (l&t9 - 1915). After his death the bulk of his papers was presented by his widow to the British Museum and the Sussex Archaeological Society. The British Museum retained 221 volumes (Add. MSS 39326-39358); certain items which they did not require were sent by them to our Society, who added them to their own collection. The collection in this library consists mainly of transcripts of documents from a great variety of sources including public, diocesan and parish records, the emphasis being on Sussex clergy, genealogy and manorial history. The material is in the form of manuscript volumes, notebooks, series of paper slips and loose papers. Many of the papers appear to be working notes from which Dunkin compiled his finished volumes. Arrangement The collection has been arranged as far as possible according to subject matter, but a batch of papers concerning many aspects of the parish and manor of Buxted has been kept intact, as this appears to have been Dunkin's intention.

  • Martyrology 12 09 19
    Martyrology An Anglican Martyrology - for the British Isles 1 of 160 Martyrology Introduction The base text is the martyrology compiled by Fr. Hugh Feiss, OSB. Copyright © 2008 by the Monastery of the Ascension, Jerome, ID 83338 and available online at the website of the Monastery of Christ in the Desert. The calendars of each of the three Anglican churches of the British isles contain varied group commemorations, I suggest these entries are read only in the province where they are observed and have indicated that by the use of italics and brackets. However, people, particularly in the Church of England, are woefully ignorant of the history of the other Anglican churches of our islands and it would be good if all entries for the islands are used in each province. The Roman dates are also indicated where these vary from Anglican ones but not all those on the Roman Calendar have an entry. The introductions to the saints and celebrations in the Anglican calendars in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales in Exciting Holiness, ed. Brother Tristam SSF, The Canterbury Press, 1997, have been added where a saint did not already appear in the martyrology. These have been adapted to indicate the place and date of death at the beginning, as is traditional at the reading of the martyrology. For the place of death I have generally relied on Wikipedia. For Irish, Welsh and Scottish celebrations not appearing in Exciting Holiness I have used the latest edition of Celebrating the Saints, Canterbury Press, 2004. These entries are generally longer than appear in martyrologies and probably need editing down even more than I have done if they are to be read liturgically.

  • Naming Shirehampton and the Name Shirehampton
    Naming Shirehampton and the name Shirehampton Richard Coates University of the West of England, Bristol Shirehampton is a village in southern Gloucestershire, England, which has been absorbed into the city of Bristol. It has expanded into a suburb with a population of 6867 in 1991 (census figure; the precise figure is not readily deducible from later census data).1 Its territory included, until 1917, what was marshland and is now Avonmouth port and suburb. The historical development of its name is easy to follow in broad but unrevealing terms, though there is a considerable amount of problematic detail. In this article I explore what it is possible to deduce about aspects of the processes involved in its evolution, which are not at all straightforward. The paper can also be taken as an object lesson in the lexical-semantic and phonological difficulties of historical onomastics, and in the pleasures of travelling unexpected byways in the history of onomastics and in cultural history. But historical onomastics, in the sense of establishing the etymology of a name, is not the same as exploring the history of a name, and not the same as the historiography of a name. In analysing Shirehampton and its name, we shall look at all of these techniques and processes in detail. In this article I attempt to explore the historical onomasiological questions of what this particular tract of ground has been called over the centuries, and why; the semasiological question of the use of the place’s name or names in derived names (commemoration); and the historiographical question of what scholars have deduced from the place’s name or names: first and foremost the history of the interpretation of the place’s name or names (changing views on its/their etymology, and the consequences of changes in such provisional knowledge), but also changing views about the identification (denotation) of the name or names featuring in the record, and some real-world consequences of that.

  • Saint Richard of Chichester
    Saint Richard of Chichester SAINT OF THE DAY 03-04-2020 Generous with the poor and aware of the immense value of the Mass, the Englishman Saint Richard of Chichester (1197-1253) defended the Church from the king's interference and promoted a robust reform of the clergy in his diocese. From his early youth he learned to toil. He was soon orphaned of both his parents and had to work hard on his farm with his brother. His friends tried to arrange his marriage to a noblewoman, but he declined the proposal. He studied and taught at Oxford, where he had St. Edmund of Abingdon as his tutor. He then lived in Paris and Bologna, where he distinguished himself for his expertise in canon law; in Italy he also refused a second marriage proposal. He returned to England in 1235. Two years later Edmund, who in the meantime had become Archbishop of Canterbury, summoned him to his side as Chancellor. Richard then followed him into French exile; and from him, who died in 1240, he inherited a chalice destined to become his symbol and to give a new direction to his life. He decided to become a priest, studied theology with the Dominicans in Orleans and was ordained at the age of 45. He returned home again, acting for some time as parish priest. Blessed Boniface of Savoy appointed him bishop of Chichester, against the favourite candidate of King Henry III, considered ignorant in theology. Irritated, the sovereign confiscated all the goods of Richard’s episcopal see for about two years.

Remember that by no means all of these sources will yield information about a particular place – even ‘standard’ sources, such as Tithe Plans, were not produced for all parishes – and that other sources, not specifically mentioned below, may well prove vital to unlock the history of your chosen parish or township. 1. Preliminary finding aids The initial task should be to construct a bibliography of sources additional to those listed in subsequent sections of this checklist. Search by the name of the parish/township you are studying (Note, though, that it will sometimes also be necessary to search under the name of settlements within the parish/township, where the name of a significant settlement is not the same as that of the administrative unit, e.g. Burneside, which is part of Strickland Ketel township).

    The Reading Abbey Formulary (Berkshire Record Office, D/EZ 176/1) Brian Kemp University of Reading In 2013 the Berkshire Record Office took possession of a small, neat parchment volume, bound in eighteenth-century vellum, which has become known as the Reading Abbey Formulary. It constitutes one of the most important acquisitions made by the Record Office for many years, and I shall say more later about how it came about. Although one cannot be absolutely certain that it is from Reading Abbey—it does not, for example, bear the usual Reading Abbey ex libris inscription: ‘Hic est liber Sancte Marie de Rading’. Quem qui celaverit vel fraudem de eo fecerit anathema sit ’, or any other medieval mark of provenance1 - a close analysis of the contents shows beyond all doubt that it was compiled either in and for the abbey or, at least, for a lawyer or senior scribe working there. As such, it was one of the small handful of Reading Abbey manuscript volumes still in private hands before it was purchased by the Record Office. It is also the only major Reading Abbey manuscript ever acquired by the Record Office, and it is therefore fitting and gratifying that after nearly five centuries since the abbey’s dissolution it has returned to the town where it was created. A number of medieval English formularies survive from monasteries, cathedrals and other corporate bodies. They form a very varied group, both in structure and in content, and were certainly not compiled in accordance with a standard plan. As far as I know, all are unique with no duplicate copies.2 The Reading example is a most interesting and valuable addition to their number.
