    “Powerful Arms and Fertile Soil” English Identity and the Law of Arms in Early Modern England Claire Renée Kennedy A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History and Philosophy of Science University of Sydney 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My greatest thanks and appreciation to Ofer Gal, who supervised my PhD with constant interest, insightfulness and support. This thesis owes so much to his helpful conversation and encouraging supervision and guidance. I have benefitted immensely from the suggestions and criticisms of my examiners, John Sutton, Nick Wilding, and Anthony Grafton, to whom I owe a particular debt. Grafton’s suggestion during the very early stages of my candidature that the quarrel between William Camden and Ralph Brooke might provide a promising avenue for research provided much inspiration for the larger project. I am greatly indebted to the staff in the Unit for History and Philosophy of Science: in particular, Hans Pols for his unwavering support and encouragement; Daniela Helbig, for providing some much-needed motivation during the home-stretch; and Debbie Castle, for her encouraging and reassuring presence. I have benefitted immensely from conversations with friends, in and outside the Unit for HPS. This includes, (but is not limited to): Megan Baumhammer, Sahar Tavakoli, Ian Lawson, Nick Bozic, Gemma Lucy Smart, Georg Repnikov, Anson Fehross, Caitrin Donovan, Stefan Gawronski, Angus Cornwell, Brenda Rosales and Carrie Hardie. My particular thanks to Kathryn Ticehurst and Laura Sumrall, for their willingness to read drafts, to listen, and to help me clarify my thoughts and ideas. My thanks also to the Centre for Editing Lives and Letters, University College London, and the History of Science Program, Princeton University, where I benefitted from spending time as a visiting research student.

Bv ARTHUR WRIGHT, B.Sc. VII. SUMMARY AND CHRONOLOGICAL AcCOUNT. IN the county there are at the time of writing (1940) 556 bells, including a few in secular use, but of interest from their dates or inscriptions. They may be classified as follows :- Total. 1 Ring of 12 12 15 " " 8 120 22 6 132 7 5 35 6 4 24 10 3 30 40 ,,2 80 118 Single bells . 118 5 Small bells (ting-tangs) . 5 556 These may further be classified according to their periods :- Pre-Reformation uninscribed 4 , inscribed 181 Post-Reformation 16th century 3 17th 54 18th 154 19th 145 " 20th 95 Blank modern bells . 83 556 The percentage of surv1vmg pre-Reformation bells, 20/566, i.e. 3·5 per cent, is a figure which compares rather unfavourably with those of neighbouring counties, where these are known, i.e. Hereford­ shire 7, Gloucestershire 6·5, Worcestershire 5·5, Shropshire 4, Stafford­ shire 3; whilst it is much below such counties as Norfolk, 15 per cent in 1874, Suffolk 15 per cent in 1890, Essex 10 per cent in 1909. 2 1 Including two recast, but with their original inscriptions in facsimile. 2 From Lestrange, Raven, and Deedes and Walters respectively.

What can you see? Abergavenny Castle Trail The Gatehouse On the first floor above the gate were comfortable rooms for the Constable of the Castle and his family to live in. The Constable was in charge of the Castle when the Lord was away. The room had a fireplace, large windows and access to the walkways along the walls, as well as a winch to lower or raise the drawbridge.
