T. FOWLER, M.A., F.S.A. HON. D.C.L. DUNELM, HON. CANON OF DURHAM, VICE-PRINCIPAL OF BISHOP Hatfield's hall, and Hebrew lecturer IN THE university LONDON R E. ROBINSON & CO. 20 GREAT RUSSELL STREET, BLOOMSBURY 1904 L F i;>' PEEFACE When I began the preparation of this book, I was afraid that a University not yet a century old would hardly afford enough material for a volume in the present series. And, indeed, the historical material is of necessity scanty as compared with that afforded by ancient Colleges and Universities. The want of it, however, leaves all the more room for architectural and biographical matter, and I hope that the descriptions of ' buildings and the notices of Durham Worthies ' will be read with interest —at least by Durham men. The illus- trations can hardly fail to be acceptable. The first and the last are from photographs by Mr. Edis of Durham, the rest from photographs kindly executed and contri- buted by Mrs. Powles, a lady whose early connexion with Durham gave her a special interest in the work. The Appendices occupy a good deal of space, but they will not be found to be of the nature of padding. Number I. supplements Mr. Blakiston's collections. Numbers II. to V. contain matters connected with the 141911 ' vi PREFACE earliest days of the University not easily accessible else- where. Number VI. certainly deserves a more permanent place than it has hitherto occupied. Numbers VII. and VIII., will be useful for reference. In Number IX. Mr. Leigh Smith has given us an admirable account of athletics in the University. I have taken considerable pains with Number X., but have not succeeded in ascertaining all the dates as accurately as I could have wished. In many cases the only authority is an old calendar, and a man has commonly come into, or gone out of, office for some little time before the issue of the calendar of any particular year. The idea of Appendix XI. is due to the publisher, Mr. Robinson, who, when he saw the notice of the ' Verdant Green sketches (pp. 100-102), at once suggested a reproduction of them as likely to prove an interesting and attractive feature in the Durham volume. Appendix XII. is also inserted at the suggestion of the publishers. It will, perhaps, be thought by some that the index is encumbered by many needless entries. My own idea of an index is that, if it be worth making at all, it can hardly be too full, and my practice is, if in doubt, to insert an entry. It can do no harm, and the habit of including ' needless "* entries often prevents the neglect of many which ought not to be omitted. But the more experience I gain, the more thoroughly I am convinced that finality in an index is unattainable. Whatever pains you bestow upon it, you will find, sooner or later. PREFACE vii that there are things which ought to have been entered, or to have been entered differently. And the more condensed your index is, the more likely it is to be subject to defects of this kind. I have referred to our indebtedness to Mrs. Powles and to Mr. Leigh Smith. I must also record here our special thanks to Professor Lebour for his chapter on the College of Science, to the late Principal Gurney for his account of its buildings, to Sir George Hare Philip- son and Professor Howden for materials connected with the College of Medicine, to Professor Farrar for some valuable initial suggestions, and for permission to print his account of Dr. Jenkyns' lectures ; also to the Dean of Durham (Warden of the University), for much kind help in the revision of the proof-sheets.

No account of the University of Durham would be complete without some notice of earlier undertakings, the object of which was to connect the higher education with the Cathedral Church. Of these, the only one that came to any permanent result was the first in point of time—namely, the monastic College that was founded by Bishop Hatfield in the University of Oxford, and with which College the University of Durham may claim a sort of historic, though broken, continuity. The history of Durham College has, however, been so well worked out by the Rev. Herbert E. D. Blakiston* that there is little for anyone else to do in the matter but to avail one's self of his labours, and this I do with the fullest acknowledgment of my indebtedness to him in almost all that I now say on a subject that he has made so completely his own. The monks of the Benedictine Order have always * In his Introduction to ' Some Durham College Rolls,' in ' Col- lectanea,' Oxford Historical Society, vol. iii., and in his volume on ' Trinity College ' (Oxford), in the present series, chap. i. 1 — 2 DURHAM UNIVERSITY been pre-eminent among members of monastic founda- tions in the pursuit and promotion of learning. And in this respect the Benedictines of Durham were in no way behind their brethren in the South of England. Those of St. Peter\s at Gloucester obtained a Hall in Oxford for thirteen students in 1283, and in 1291 the other great abbeys in the South combined for a general monastic College, to consist of hostels to be united with Gloucester Hall. These were ultimately merged in Worcester College, in the ancient part of which the arms of some of the abbeys may still be seen. But previous to the Southern combination the great Northern Abbey of Durham had made arrangements on its own account. We learn from a Bursar^s roll of 1278 that in that year Durham sent a clerk ' versus Exon."" (sk) with 5 marks, and that a ' garcio "* was sent ' pro libera- tura fratrum' i.e., for the purpose of conveying it. In 1292 we find in 'liberatura facta studentibus Oxon., 24Z. 3*. llrf.,"* which entry explains the former one. We are told by the chronicler Geoffrey of Colding- ham that Hugo de Derlington, Prior for the second time from 1285-86 to 1289-90, sent monks to Oxford to study, and made handsome provision for them. There is, however, so far, no mention of any building; but the next Prior, Richard de Hoton (1289-90 to 1307-08), is recorded by Robert de Graystanes to have prepared a building in Oxford for the students from Durham, and there is documentary evidence that five or six acres or more had been acquired before 1291 for the site of Durham Hall—namely, the area now occupied in great part by Trinity College. It was partly given by the Benedictine nunnery of Godstow, and partly bought by — EARLIER FOUNDATIONS 3 the Convent of Durham. To it were added some small holdings in the immediate neighbourhood. Soon after 1300 the Prior of Durham tried to have the great tithes of Brantingham in Yorkshire, then held by the abbey, appropriated to the new Hall to meet expenses, urging that the house consisted of ten, eight, or six monks at one time or other, and had already returned several learned men to Durham.

    Leah Tether and Laura Chuhan Campbell Early Book Collections and Modern Audiences: Harnessing the Identity/ies of Book Collections as Collective Resources This article summarizes and contextualizes the discussions of a workshop held at Durham University in November 2018. In this workshop, participants (includ- ing academics, students, independent scholars, special and rare books librarians, and archivists) discussed the notion of the collection (that is, the identity of collection as a whole, rather than just its constituent parts), and its potential to serve as a means of engaging both scholarly and public audiences with early book cultures. This study sets out a series of considerations and questions that might be used when tackling such special collections engagement projects, including ones involving more modern collections than the case studies examined here. In November 2018, the Institute for Medieval and Early Modern Studies at Durham University kindly funded a workshop to investigate the ways in which contemporary audiences have been, are being, and can become engaged with medieval and early- modern book culture through the provision and distribution of key resources. These resources range from published books to digital artefacts and editions; from replica teaching kits—such as scriptorium suitcases—to physical archives and repositories.1 The aim of the workshop, which was led by one of this article’s two authors (Leah Tether), was to build a picture of best practice to inform the teaching and commu- 1. The authors are grateful to Durham’s Institute for Medieval and Early Modern Studies for fund- ing the workshop, and to the administrators of the Residential Research Library Fellowships (jointly organized by Ushaw College and Durham University) that enabled Leah Tether to spend time in Durham in November 2018.

  • The University Library’S Special Collections, Indicating Date Range and Subject Coverage and Explaining the Means of Access to These Important Research Collections
    Printed Special Collections in Durham University Library: a Guide to Catalogues This guide is intended to list and briefly describe the main groups of printed material held in the University Library’s Special Collections, indicating date range and subject coverage and explaining the means of access to these important research collections. Information is also given on early printed book collections in other Durham libraries. THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY The University Library has rich collections of early printed books and local material, and some specialist collections of modern printed items. Some of these are associated with particular manuscript and archive collections, but finding-aids to the manuscripts and archives are outside the scope of this guide. The Library’s Special Collections are all housed in its Palace Green Section. Apart from local material, most of the collections described here are not available on open access but are produced on request for consultation in the Search Room at Palace Green. CATALOGUE ACCESS Records for a significant proportion of this material are not yet available on the Library’s OPAC (on-line public access catalogue), although the OPAC does include most post-1900 material and a steadily growing proportion of the earlier Special Collections books. Access to many pre-1801 items, however, is still via the old Author Catalogues at the Main Library and at Palace Green, supplemented by the various catalogues of individual collections listed below. For more information about the old Author Catalogues see the separate Guide to the Older Catalogues; it is important to read this thoroughly. For certain categories of material, however, quick finding-aids available in the Search Room at Palace Green provide the most rapid and comprehensive way to discover what is available; most of these cover the holdings of both the University and other Durham Libraries.

  • Sources for the Study of Local History
    Durham County Record Office County Hall Durham DH1 5UL Telephone 03000 267619 e-mail: [email protected] website: www.durhamrecordoffice.org.uk SUBJECT GUIDE 2 : SOURCES FOR THE STUDY OF LOCAL HISTORY Issue 8 March 2012 This leaflet describes some of the resources available for the study of local history in the Durham County Record Office, and it is geared specifically to County Durham's history and historical materials. Durham's history and records are, in many ways, unlike those of most English counties. The most obvious distinctive feature of its history is that, until 1836, the Prince Bishop exercised powers in the County Palatine much greater than those of the authorities in other counties. Another feature of County Durham's history which should be taken into account is the influence wielded by the Dean and Chapter of Durham through its extensive ownership of land and consequent participation in the development of the coal industry. The third significant characteristic of Durham's history is the rise and decline of the coalfield itself. These three features of the history of the county have also meant that the bodies responsible for the preservation of its records are unusually diverse: the records of the Palatinate are in London at The National Archives, those of the Bishopric and Dean and Chapter are cared for by the Archives and Special Collections Section of the University of Durham Library and the Durham County Record Office holds other local records. It is intended in this leaflet to describe only those records held in the County Record Office which are relevant to the study of the most usually researched topics.

  • DISSERTATION-Submission Reformatted
    The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 By Robert Lee Harkins A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor David Bates Fall 2013 © Robert Lee Harkins 2013 All Rights Reserved 1 Abstract The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 by Robert Lee Harkins Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair This study examines the problem of religious and political obedience in early modern England. Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief. Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

  • Of St Cuthbert'
    A Literary Pilgrimage of Durham by Ruth Robson of St Cuthbert' 1. Market Place Welcome to A Literary Pilgrimage of Durham, part of Durham Book Festival, produced by New Writing North, the regional writing development agency for the North of England. Durham Book Festival was established in the 1980s and is one of the country’s first literary festivals. The County and City of Durham have been much written about, being the birthplace, residence, and inspiration for many writers of both fact, fiction, and poetry. Before we delve into stories of scribes, poets, academia, prize-winning authors, political discourse, and folklore passed down through generations, we need to know why the city is here. Durham is a place steeped in history, with evidence of a pre-Roman settlement on the edge of the city at Maiden Castle. Its origins as we know it today start with the arrival of the community of St Cuthbert in the year 995 and the building of the white church at the top of the hill in the centre of the city. This Anglo-Saxon structure was a precursor to today’s cathedral, built by the Normans after the 1066 invasion. It houses both the shrine of St Cuthbert and the tomb of the Venerable Bede, and forms the Durham UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Durham Castle and other buildings, and their setting. The early civic history of Durham is tied to the role of its Bishops, known as the Prince Bishops. The Bishopric of Durham held unique powers in England, as this quote from the steward of Anthony Bek, Bishop of Durham from 1284-1311, illustrates: ‘There are two kings in England, namely the Lord King of England, wearing a crown in sign of his regality and the Lord Bishop of Durham wearing a mitre in place of a crown, in sign of his regality in the diocese of Durham.’ The area from the River Tees south of Durham to the River Tweed, which for the most part forms the border between England and Scotland, was semi-independent of England for centuries, ruled in part by the Bishop of Durham and in part by the Earl of Northumberland.

    THE MAGAZINE FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF DURHAM UNIVERSITY 2018 ISSUE 04 ISSUE 04 2018 DUNELM MAGAZINE 3 Dear alumni of Durham Durham, as it always has, is continuing to develop. Major advances have been made on the plans laid out in the University Strategy, 2017-2027. As you will see in your magazine, we have begun work on a new Centre for Teaching and Learning near St Mary’s and we now have planning permission for our 17th college, the first in ten years, which will be built near Van Mildert on South Road. The developments at Maiden Castle and in Computer Science are also moving forward quickly. You can see the artists’ drawings of some of these projects over the next few pages. In order to prepare the way for the transition of colleges and departments into Durham from Queen’s Campus Stockton, Ustinov College has now moved into a first-class new home at Sheraton Park (the old Neville’s Cross college site), and John Snow and Stephenson Colleges have established bases in Durham City in preparation for their move into Durham over the summer. Meanwhile in Queen’s, our new International Study Centre (ISC) has enjoyed a successful first term, and we are looking forward to a large number of ISC students joining Durham University degree courses next year. All of this work is designed not only to keep Durham at the pinnacle of UK education but also to expand our global reputation and reach; and so I am also pleased to let you know that we have a new Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Professor Claire O’Malley, who will lead on globalizing Durham.
