F ORE WO RD M On e of the principal features of the Walthamstow useum , and one wh ich most immediately impresses the visitor by reason of the c r brave display of ol ou and ornament , is the range of Armorial Bearings lining the friezes in each of the Exh ibition Rooms . It is the boast of our town that few other places in the Kingdom display such a wealth a \Valth am stow of loc l heraldic material , and may be congratulated not only upon the public spirit of residents who subscribed most of the n co - shields , but also upo the operation of the College of Arms in their preparation . These heraldic bearings of prominent Walthamstow people of bygone times connect the remote past with the present ; remind us of N P T orman , lantagenet and udor Lords of these parts and , stage by f k stage , bring into the mental panorama all the memorable ol down to ll ti n VVam e r s W m . V a e n s the days of the , Morris , and the of Rectory Manor . As specimens of exact heraldry these shields are interesting and c r appeal to lovers of ol ou and design , but their purpose is not primarily ca decorative . They stand as chapter headings of l o l history , and as such , l properly exp ained , they should convey to the casual observer an introduction to the story of Walthamstow ’ s history and development during the eight centuries separating us from the period of the Norman Conquest . The purpose of this pamphlet is to provide a brief commentary by the aid of which the visitor may acquaint himself as to the connection of ca . l these several families or individuals with the lo l story Obvious y , this appears to be attempting th e impossible in view of our serious c d limitation of space , because a pamphlet of like size to this oul well v w be de oted to each of the families , hilst the necessary connecting w d information oul make a book of great length . It is , however , realised that the exhibition of shields without some explanation woul d defeat the very end they are intended to serve , viz . , the unfolding of the story of our parish and its manors throughout eight centuries of time . The reader is reminded that heraldry is an exact art with a l anguage of its own , therefore the herald ic descriptions of the several armorials , wherever they occur in italics , cannot be given in any manner other than i h that offi c ally recognised . We are not at t e moment concerned to explain these details , but to visitors who are of a mind to enquire into such matters good books and inform ation may be obtained on application to the persons in charge .

    Emily Mitchell Patronage and Politics at Barking Abbey, c. 950 - c. 1200 Abstract This thesis is a study of the Benedictine abbey of Barking in Essex from the tenth to the twelfth centuries. It is based on a wide range of published and unpublished documentary sources, and on hagiographie texts written at the abbey. It juxtaposes the literary and documentary sources in a new way to show that both are essential for a full understanding of events, and neither can be fully appreciated in isolation. It also deliberately crosses the political boundary of 1066, with the intention of demonstrating that political events were not the most significant determinant of the recipients of benefactors’ religious patronage. It also uses the longer chronological scale to show that patterns of patronage from the Anglo-Saxon era were frequently inherited by the incoming Normans along with their landholdings. Through a detailed discussion of two sets of unpublished charters (Essex Record Office MSS D/DP/Tl and Hatfield, Hatfield House MS Ilford Hospital 1/6) 1 offer new dates and interpretations of several events in the abbey’s history, and identify the abbey’s benefactors from the late tenth century to 1200. As Part III shows, it has been possible to trace patterns of patronage which were passed down through several generations, crossing the political divide of 1066. Royal patronage is shown to have been of great significance to the abbey, and successive kings exploited their power of advowson in different ways according to the political atmosphere o f England. The literary sources are discussed in a separate section, but with full reference to the historical narrative.

OXFORD AT THE CLARENDON PRESS M UCCCC XIII 190 J)37 Y.l PREFACE This is the first of three volumes covering the period of the Anglo-Norman kings (1066-1154). The second and third volumes are far advanced, and will shortly be in the press. The object of ^ the series is to give a calendar, chronologically arranged and the of critically annotated, of the royal acts of period, and some cognate documents which are valuable for the historian. The first care of the editor has been to call attention to materials which iUustrate the development of law and institutions. But the interests of the genealogist and the topographer have not been neglected. Pains have been taken to record the names of persons, and the more important names of places, which are mentioned in the docu- ments. The collection includes charters issued in and for Normandy. Norman archives have not been searched for the purpose, since the Norman material is being coUected by Professor Haskins. But it seemed advisable to calendar such Norman charters as have been or are to be found in for of printed EngUsh manuscripts ; many these charters throw useful sideUghts upon EngUsh history.

  • The Bracteate Hoard from Binham — an Early Anglo-Saxon Central Place? by CHARLOTTE BEHR1 and TIM PESTELL,2 with a Contribution by JOHN HINES3
    Medieval Archaeology, 58, 2014 WINNER OF THE 2014 MARTYN JOPE AWARD The Bracteate Hoard from Binham — An Early Anglo-Saxon Central Place? By CHARLOTTE BEHR1 and TIM PESTELL,2 with a contribution by JOHN HINES3 THIS ARTICLE DESCRIBES the recent discovery of Britain’s first certain hoard of gold bracteates, found in a field in Binham (Norfolk). This find is unique in Anglo-Saxon England where bracteates have previously been found either in graves or as single finds. A further two gold bracteates and a possible die have been discovered in the vicinity of Binham suggesting a ‘bracteate cluster’. It is argued here on the basis of analogies with sites in Scandinavia and northern Germany that Binham may have acted as a central place in northern Norfolk in the early Anglo-Saxon period. In light of bracteate distribution across Anglo-Saxon England, the area of Binham is suggested as one of several sites with meaningful clusters of bracteate finds; these may have belonged to a network of central sites distributed across Scandinavia and along North Sea coastal areas in England. INTRODUCTION Between 2004 and 2013 five gold bracteates and two bracelets, one gold and the other copper-alloy, were found by metal-detector users Cyril Askew, Glenn Lister and Dennis O’Neill in the same field in Binham (Norfolk).4 Of the bracteates, four were complete and one was chopped. The hoard is a unique find in England. While some 63 bracteates are now known from the early Anglo-Saxon period, this is the first hoard composed of several bracteates to be identified.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract Twenty-seven Suffolk castles were built between 1066 and 1200. This thesis summarises the modem multi-disciplinary surveys of six of them, with the objective of identifying their location, morphology, form and function. The majority of Suffolk castles were built between the late 11^ and mid- 12^-century and reached their largest number during the civil wars c.l 135-54. However, a few remained operational after C.1200 and those that did are characterised as either royal or baronial caput castles. Moreover, almost all Suffolk castles were originally earth and timber, whereas the surviving examples were rebuilt in stone before c.l300.

Domesday Book, the outcome of the Survey, lists the incomes, tax assessments, wealth and re- sources of most estates in England and was used as a working ac- counting document by the monarch and public officials to raise taxes, distribute resources and consolidate power. Although the Domesday document itself survives, many details of its construction and use have been lost in the mists of time.
