  • The Archaeology of the Abbeys and Priories of Leicestershire Pp.1-21
    The Archaeology of the Abbeys and Priories of Leicestershire by Peter Liddle with Lorna O'Brien The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the present state of knowledge of the archaeology of the greater religious houses of Medieval Leicestershire. Secular colleges, hospitals, the military orders, friaries and alien cells are not included. Neither is the impact of the sites on the landscape through their creation of granges etc. covered (for this, see Courtney 1981). The documentary background is only covered in outline. For a fuller account see R A McKinley's article in the Victoria County History of Leicestershire (McKinley 1954). The earliest known monastic house was founded at Breedon in c.675AD within the ramparts of the Iron Age hill fort (Dornier 1977). Nothing is known of its buildings except for the magnificent carvings built into the later church. It seems certain that there were other similar communities at this time. Bringhurst seems likely, while sites producing a range of Middle/Late Anglo-Saxon objects at, for instance, Wymeswold and Melton Mowbray may well prove to be monastic (Liddle, forthcoming).

Anti-Social Behaviour - We have received reports of increasing amounts of anti- social behaviour down Drury Lane. The police have been informed. We were also told of a fire lit in the woodland near Swallowdale by a boy and two girls on 18 April. Details of this latest incident were shared with our local police team and people associated with Thringstone Primary. A car was set on fire in the woodland in the early hours of 20 April and exploded because of the petrol in it. Police are aware as the fire service had to come out to put this out, as it was torched underneath some yew trees which were also damaged. Someone pulled up one of the concrete bollards from the Dalkeith Walk car park and left it on the grass.

  • THE REFORMATION in LEICESTER and LEICESTERSHIRE, C.1480–1590 Eleanor Hall
    THE REFORMATION IN LEICESTER AND LEICESTERSHIRE, c.1480–1590 Eleanor Hall Since its arrival in England, never did Christianity undergo such a transformation as that of the Reformation. By the end of the sixteenth century the official presence of Catholicism had almost entirely disappeared in favour of Protestantism, the permanent establishment of which is still the institutional state religion. This transformation, instigated and imposed on the population by a political elite, had a massive impact on the lives of those who endured it. In fact, the progression of these religious developments depended on the compliance of the English people, which in some regions was often absent. Indeed, consideration must be given to the impact of the Reformation on these localities and social groups, in which conservatism and nostalgia for the traditional faith remained strong. In spite of this, the gradual acceptance of Protestantism by the majority over time allowed its imposition and the permanent establishment of the Church of England. Leicestershire is a county in which significant changes took place. This paper examines these changes and their impact on, and gradual acceptance by, the various religious orders, secular clergy, and the laity in the town and county. Important time and geographical comparisons will be drawn in consideration of the overall impact of the Reformation, and the extent to which both clergy and laity conformed to the religious changes imposed on them, and managed to retain their religious devotion in the process. INTRODUCTION The English Reformation is one of the periods in history that attracts a high level of interest and debate.
