We spent 7 days in England and 10 days in Scotland. Besides visiting many of the normal attractions and beautiful country side, we learned many new things. We were told that driving on the left side of the road dates back to the knights jousting with their right arm. Churchill's war room was very similar to the Greenbrier bunker, except it was actually used during WWII. We learned that the Presbyterian church in the United States came from the Reformed Church of Scotland and the Episcopal Church came from the Reformed Church of England. We even toured the Glenfiddich Distillery and learned they still make single malt scotch whiskey like they did in the 1800's. The 18 yr samples were pretty good! We were fans of the Downton Abbey television series and were able to visit Highclere Castle where it was filmed, and on the way to Oxford, visited the little village of Bampton where the church and cemetery scenes were filmed. While in London, we were able to break away from the group one morning and took a bus ride from the Victoria section of London to the Fulham area to locate the All Saints Fulham Church and see the burial marker of Bishop Humphrey Henchman. We have seen pictures and articles from past newsletters but wanted to see part of our heritage up close. We were able to find the church easily. It sits on a main street, almost at the Thames River. Entering the church, we stopped at the information desk asking for the location of the grave site. The attendant was new but she was able to contact someone who knew right where the memorial was. You can see from some of the pictures that it is located in the left corner just as you come in the main door, but had been covered by a rug to protect it. That is me with "Buster" the church dog. We took many pictures of the church that was established over 700 yrs ago. As we were preparing to leave, the attendant asked if we were going to visit Fulham Palace which was behind the church. We had already visited Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace and several others, but decided while we were that close, why not? We walked through some beautiful gardens and reached the palace which was stately but smaller than the "tourist" palaces. Walking through the rooms, we learned that parts of the structure was built in the 700's and it was the summer home for the Bishops of London from then until 1973. It is now owned by a Historical Trust. While in one of the rooms we were asked about our visit by one of the historical guides. I explained about visiting All Saints Church to see our ancestor's grave. I gave her the name and showed her a picture of the marker. She proceeded to pull out a book, showed me his name and dates as Bishop, and explained to me that although Bishop Henchman is buried at All Saints Church, that his main church would have been historic St. Paul's Cathedral in London. He would have been third in line to the king. He was the Bishop of London during the great fire of London in 1660 which burned much of the city including St. Paul's Cathedral. She also explained that the crossed swords on the left part of the coat of arms on the marker indicated that he was a Bishop of London. We were able to purchase the palace history book at the gift shop with the names and coats of arms of all the Bishops of London. We were not able to spend much time there, but the combination of this visit plus the earlier visit to the archives at Marshall during the HHS Conference has certainly peaked my interest and I will be doing more research in the future!

  • George Abbot 1562-1633 Archbishop of Canterbury
    English Book Owners in the Seventeenth Century: A Work in Progress Listing How much do we really know about patterns and impacts of book ownership in Britain in the seventeenth century? How well equipped are we to answer questions such as the following?: • What was a typical private library, in terms of size and content, in the seventeenth century? • How does the answer to that question vary according to occupation, social status, etc? • How does the answer vary over time? – how different are ownership patterns in the middle of the century from those of the beginning, and how different are they again at the end? Having sound answers to these questions will contribute significantly to our understanding of print culture and the history of the book more widely during this period. Our current state of knowledge is both imperfect, and fragmented. There is no directory or comprehensive reference source on seventeenth-century British book owners, although there are numerous studies of individual collectors. There are well-known names who are regularly cited in this context – Cotton, Dering, Pepys – and accepted wisdom as to collections which were particularly interesting or outstanding, but there is much in this area that deserves to be challenged. Private Libraries in Renaissance England and Books in Cambridge Inventories have developed a more comprehensive approach to a particular (academic) kind of owner, but they are largely focused on the sixteenth century. Sears Jayne, Library Catalogues of the English Renaissance, extends coverage to 1640, based on book lists found in a variety of manuscript sources. Evidence of book ownership in this period is manifested in a variety of ways, which need to be brought together if we are to develop that fuller picture.

A knowledge of the conditions of his task should make the historian of Jesus take a modest view of its importance ; for, though the tree sprung from Alcock"s acorn has now grown to some size and not a little vigour, for the best part of its existence it was overshadowed by taller neighbours in the academic grove. In fact, except in some short periods of unwonted prosperity, Jesus was, until recent ' 1 times, emphatically a small college, low in revenues, and in numbers competing with Peterhouse and Magda- lene rather than with Caius or Christ's.

  • Sir Christopher Wren and the Rebuilding of the City Churches After the Great Fire of London Transcript
    Sir Christopher Wren and the Rebuilding of the City Churches after the Great Fire of London Transcript Date: Tuesday, 30 June 2015 - 6:00PM Location: Barnard's Inn Hall 30 June 2015 From Astronomy to Architecture: Sir Christopher Wren, Gresham College, And the Rebuilding of the City Churches After the Great Fire of London Anthony Geraghty I would like to begin my lecture with another lecture delivered in Gresham College. This other lecture was delivered in 1657, obviously not in this room, but within the very institution that was kind enough to invite me to speak to you this evening. That other occasion was the inaugural lecture of the ninth Gresham Professor of Astronomy. His name was Christopher Wren and he was 25 years old. This was his first academic position and great things were expected of him; he was, as John Evelyn put it, a ‘miracle of a youth’. Wren, who was to live for another 66 years, is best known as the architect of St Paul’s Cathedral, the City of London churches, numerous royal palaces, and much else besides. Before all this achievement in architecture, however, he enjoyed a distinguished career as a scientist – what the period termed a mathematician. To be a mathematician in the seventeenth century denoted a wider range of interests than it does today, and this was especially true of Wren. It was as an astronomer that he built his academic career, but his academic interests’ encompassed cosmology, mechanics, microscopy, surveying, medicine and meteorology. He published comparatively little, but his contemporaries regarded him as one of the foremost scientists of the age, praised by no less a figure than Isaac Newton.

While antiquarians and art historians have seen their early modern pasts as nothing more than periods of ‘desecration and pillage’, early modern historians have dismissed cathedrals as medieval ‘fossils’, irrelevant and impermeable to the religious upheavals of the English Reformation.

Reflecting on the process now, as it nears its end, it is abundantly clear how much writing a dissertation is a team sport. None of this could have been accomplished without Dr. Thomas Cogswell, who patiently guided me through this process from start to finish. If the reader finds any part of this dissertation engaging, it is almost certainly the result of Tom’s ear for a good story, and his never-ending drive to see that story completely extracted from the source material. I owe Dr. Randolph Head a significant debt, not only for his support of this project, but also for modeling the kind of diligence and rigor that makes academic research possible. I must thank Dr. Malcolm Baker for helping me to see structure and space as primary sources, and to Dr. Kristoffer Neville, for teaching me to engage with these sources. I cannot forget to thank Professor Jonathan Eacott who provided some much need last minute support for this project.

  • Protestants Bishops in Restoration England
    This is the Accepted Post-print version of: Harmes, Marcus (2009) Protestant bishops in Restoration England. Parergon, 26 (1). pp. 175-196. ISSN 0313-6221. Available from USQ ePrints http://eprints.usq.edu.au/19859/ Protestant Bishops in Restoration England Marcus Harmes The reconstruction of the Church of England‟s hierarchy after 1660 has attracted extensive scholarly attention. Scholars have evaluated how far the doctrinal and ecclesial positions of the Laudian Church shaped the reconstruction of the episcopal hierarchy up to and beyond 1660, especially the Laudian recourse to theories of Jure divino episcopacy as justifying episcopal status and power. Detailed analysis of two texts, John Gauden‟s The Looſing of St Peters Bands and Arthur Duck‟s Life of Henry Chichele (a medieval archbishop of Canterbury) will demonstrate how the restored episcopate was prepared to appeal to its late-medieval past and to its immediate context in order to justify its authority and demonstrate its self-conception as being an agent of reformed authority. Introduction During the seventeenth century in England individual bishops and the episcopate in general came under increasingly intense censure for being a popish dreg. As a Romanist relic, the episcopate was perceived by its detractors more as a problem than a solution to the settlement of the English Church. Attacks against bishops culminated in the abolition of episcopal government by the Long Parliament in the 1640s, leaving episcopacy in abeyance until the Restoration of 1660. During the seventeenth century, other challenges came from the often drastic reductions in episcopal revenues made by royal authorities, which themselves impacted on the capacity of bishops to fulfill their functions and exercise their authority.1 Censure provoked defence; from the 1570s onwards, the English episcopate had faced various demands for further reform or else its total extirpation.
