In particular I would like to thank my wife, parents, and sister, whose love and support made this project possible. iv For my Wife and Parents PREFACE I began this work as an attempt to answer how the brewing trade in London developed in the seventeenth century. Judith Bennett’s Ale, Beer and Brewsters has examined the medieval English brewing trade from the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries; whereas, Peter Mathias’ masterful treatment of the English brewing trade examined it in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and was followed by T.R. Gourvish and R.G. Wilson’s examination of the English brewing industry in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. When I started this work I sought to answer why the seventeenth century had been neglected in the historiography on English brewing. What I discovered by examining the London brewing trade in that century was not an industry lying dormant, ready to be awakened by the call for industrialization. Instead what I have found is an industry that was shaped by its medieval forebears and would in turn shape the trade as it became one of Britain’s greatest examples of industrialization in the eighteenth century. I have limited this work to London and its environs. London was hardly representative of England as a whole in the early modern period and I do not claim that brewing trade of London was representative of England’s brewing industry at that time. However, throughout the early modern period London’s brewers proved to be remarkably adept at adapting to change within the industry and were always among the first-movers in the English brewing trade. Their ability to adapt and change was not limited to the vi seventeenth century. Instead London’s brewers were in a state of nearly constant flux as they adapted to the whims of the Crown, the City, the guild, and their patrons. I have limited the scope of this project from 1400 to 1750 precisely because most of the important changes within the early modern trade occurred between those dates. Before 1400 London’s brewing trade was much like other towns within England. After 1400 the introduction of hops and beer-brewing immigrants to London and the City’s desire to ensure that the trade was regulated according to its wishes helped to shape the industry into something different than its nearest competitors in size and population. This project ends in 1750 because the latter half of the eighteenth century saw the transformation of the trade in London into one dominated by industrialized firms quite different than their sixteenth- and seventeenth-century predecessors. The main difference between those firms was one of scale; however, the firms that came to dominate the industrialized trade of the eighteenth century were built upon solid foundations laid by their seventeenth-century forebears. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iii PREFACE vi LIST OF TABLES x LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS xi ABSTRACT xii INTRODUCTION: BEER AND BRITANNIA 1 Why do We Study Beer? 2 Overview 6 CHAPTER ONE: COAL, HOPS, AND IMMIGRANTS: THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE LONDON BREWING TRADE, 1400-1650 14 The Ingredients: Water, Malt, Yeast, and Gruit 14 The Production of Ale in Medieval England 21 Ale and the Household Economy 24 The Introduction of Hops 29 The Introduction of Beer into England 32 The Cultivation of Hops in England 35 Beer and Beer Brewing in London 39 The Growth of Coal in the London Brewing Trade 44 Coal Connections: The Growth of the London Coal Trade 47 Coal and the Brewers of London 49 Towards a New Industry 53 CHAPTER TWO: BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE: ADAPTING TO CHANGE IN THE BREWERS’ COMPANY 55 Beer and Ale, Native and Foreign 58 The London Ale Brewers’ Guild: Competition and Conflict in the Fifteenth Century 61 The Coming of Stranger Brewers to London 70 Beer vs. Ale 77 A Position of Strength?: The City of London and the Ale Brewers’ Guild 80 The Machiavellian City 87 Was “Female to Male as Ale was to Beer”? 90 CHAPTER THREE: MAKING WAY: THE NATIVIZATION OF THE LONDON BEER BREWING TRADE, 1500-1600 92 viii Anti-Stranger Feeling and Legislation before 1550 94 The Problem of Strangers 99 What did It Mean to be English? 101 The Attack on Strangers in the Brewers’ Company 106 The City’s Attack on the Stranger Community 109 The Regulation of Strangers in the Brewing Trade 114 The Nativization of the Beer-Brewing Trade 116 Building an Industry 121 The Brewing Industry in 1600 128 CHAPTER FOUR: THE WAGES OF SIN: THE GROWTH AND IMPACTS OF THE EXCISE ON BEER BREWING IN LONDON, 1600-1689 130 An Untapped Source: The Taxation of the Brewing Industry before the Excise 134 The Laboratory of Taxation 138 A Trial Balloon: James Duppa’s 1637 Beer Tax 144 The Brewers’ Company 1600-1640 154 Crisis: Civil War and the Excise, 1642-1647 162 Resistance by the Brewers to the Excise and Commonwealth, 1647-1660 169 Status Quo: The Continuance of the Excise following the Restoration 174 Calamity and Catastrophe: The Fires of the Restoration 177 A Company Divided 180 CHAPTER FIVE: “THE RUINED CONDITION OF THIS REVENUE ON BEER AND ALE” : THE EFFECTS OF THE EXCISE ON THE BREWING INDUSTRY IN LONDON, 1689-1750 189 The Revolution of 1688-89 and the Expansion of the Excise 192 An Imperfect Science: The Art of Gauging for the Excise 205 The Brewers’ Handbook: Deceit, Bribery, and Concealment 211 Stout, Three-Threads, and Double-Beer: The Rise of Strong Beers in London 219 The London Brewers’ Crisis 227 The Rise of the Industrial Brewer 233 The London Brewing Trade, 1700-1750 239 CONCLUSION: THREE HUNDRED YEARS OF CHANGE 244 BIBLIOGRAPHY 254 VITA 278 ix LIST OF TABLES Table 1.

This dissertation seeks to better understand how issues of gender, ethnicity, and class changed and shaped London’s early modern brewing industry. Women played a vital role in the production and marketing of ale in London’s medieval brewing trade. They were displaced from that position of prominence through the introduction of hops by foreign immigrants, known to strangers to their hosts, and the desire of the City of London to more closely regulate the trade in ale and beer. Those forces combined to marginalize women in the trade as they were replaced by male strangers brewing beer. Those strangers came to control the late fifteenth and early sixteenth century brewing trade. Their product, beer, was superior to English ale in durability and cost less to produce. As London began to transition from an ale-drinking community to a beer- drinking one, the community of beer-brewing strangers came under attack on several fronts.

Drosdick A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Joel B. Altman, Chair Professor Jeffrey Knapp Professor Albert Russell Ascoli Fall 2010 Abstract In danger of undoing: The Literary Imagination of Apprentices in Early Modern London by Alan J. Drosdick Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Berkeley Professor Joel B. Altman, Chair With the life of the apprentice ever in mind, my work analyzes the underlying social realities of plays such as Dekker’s The Shoemaker’s Holiday, Beaumont’s The Knight of the Burning Pestle, Jonson, Chapman, and Marston’s Eastward Ho!, and Shakespeare’s Henriad. By means of this analysis, I reopen for critical investigation a conventional assumption about the mutually disruptive relationship between apprentices and the theater that originated during the sixteenth century and has become a cliché of modern theater history at least since Alfred Harbage’s landmark Shakespeare’s Audience (1941). As a group, apprentices had two faces in the public imagination of renaissance London. The two models square off in Eastward Ho!, where the dutiful Golding follows his master’s orders and becomes an alderman, while the profligate Quicksilver dallies at theaters and ends up in prison.

  • To Many Beer Lovers, Christian Monks
    The history of monks and brewing To many beer lovers, Christian monks are the archetypes of brewers. It’s not that monks invented beer: Archeologists find it in both China and Egypt around 5000 B.C., long before any Christian monks existed. And it’s not that the purpose of monks is to brew beer: Their purpose is to seek and to serve God, through a specific form of spiritual life. But if monks did not invent beer, and brewing is not their defining vocation, they did play a major role in Western brewing from at least the second half of the first millennium. Let’s take a broad look at how. First, some background. Christian monasticism has its formal roots in the fourth century, when the Roman Empire was still at its height. The Empire suffered serious decline during the fifth century, the era in which St. Benedict lived (c. 480 - March 21, 547). As the social structure of the Roman Empire crumbled, monasteries organized under the Rule of Benedict emerged as centers of agriculture, lodging, education, literature, art, etc. When Charlemagne established the Holy Roman Empire in the year 800, he relied on monasteries to help weave its social and economic infrastructure – and he promoted the Rule of Benedict as the standard for monastic organization. Against this brief sketch of history, we can begin to observe the relationship between monks and brewing. In ancient days, within the Roman Empire as throughout the world, brewing was typically done in the home. This practice carried into monasteries, which had to provide drink and nourishment for the monks, as well as for guests, pilgrims, and the poor.

  • London and Middlesex in the 1660S Introduction: the Early Modern
    London and Middlesex in the 1660s Introduction: The early modern metropolis first comes into sharp visual focus in the middle of the seventeenth century, for a number of reasons. Most obviously this is the period when Wenceslas Hollar was depicting the capital and its inhabitants, with views of Covent Garden, the Royal Exchange, London women, his great panoramic view from Milbank to Greenwich, and his vignettes of palaces and country-houses in the environs. His oblique birds-eye map- view of Drury Lane and Covent Garden around 1660 offers an extraordinary level of detail of the streetscape and architectural texture of the area, from great mansions to modest cottages, while the map of the burnt city he issued shortly after the Fire of 1666 preserves a record of the medieval street-plan, dotted with churches and public buildings, as well as giving a glimpse of the unburned areas.1 Although the Fire destroyed most of the historic core of London, the need to rebuild the burnt city generated numerous surveys, plans, and written accounts of individual properties, and stimulated the production of a new and large-scale map of the city in 1676.2 Late-seventeenth-century maps of London included more of the spreading suburbs, east and west, while outer Middlesex was covered in rather less detail by county maps such as that of 1667, published by Richard Blome [Fig. 5]. In addition to the visual representations of mid-seventeenth-century London, a wider range of documentary sources for the city and its people becomes available to the historian.

See Principles on main webpage. Village, woodland, nature reserves, hills, views In Brief This truly unforgettable walk shows you all that is best in the Chiltern Hills. You go through great beechwoods, along valleys and over the Bledlow Ridge with terrific views. The walk begins and ends in a snug Chiltern village which holds its own surprises. The village has one of the iconic pubs of the Chilterns (to enquire at the Lions of Bledlow , ring 01844-343345). Along the way, you can stop at the Boot in the Ridge (ring 01494-481499). You also pass one of the great foodie pubs (see text), requiring long advance booking. This walk is a tribute to Raymond Hugh’s Adventurous Walks books, since it follows the same route as one of his walks. These books are out of print but still possibly available by mail order and the other nine walks are also a pleasure to do. There are only a few nettles on this walk and sensible shoes should be adequate in dry weather.

  • The Theological Socialism of the Labour Church
    ‘SO PECULIARLY ITS OWN’ THE THEOLOGICAL SOCIALISM OF THE LABOUR CHURCH by NEIL WHARRIER JOHNSON A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The thesis argues that the most distinctive feature of the Labour Church was Theological Socialism. For its founder, John Trevor, Theological Socialism was the literal Religion of Socialism, a post-Christian prophecy announcing the dawn of a new utopian era explained in terms of the Kingdom of God on earth; for members of the Labour Church, who are referred to throughout the thesis as Theological Socialists, Theological Socialism was an inclusive message about God working through the Labour movement. By focussing on Theological Socialism the thesis challenges the historiography and reappraises the significance of the Labour
