While the actions of the state and the political motivations of key figures are touched upon, the main focus is the development of religion at parish level and how attitudes and customs changed over time as the demands of the Elizabethan Settlement of religion took root within the parishes. The historiography of the Reformation has revealed wide variation in how religious change has been viewed at the local level. This thesis challenges the revisionist view which has described the progress of the later Reformation in England as protracted and contested at every step by the majority of people. It argues instead that some revisionist writing has been too pessimistic when applied to the diocese of Canterbury, and demonstrates that, in east Kent, resistance and division were not the default response following the 1559 Settlement. Communities were able to negotiate a path which stayed within the bounds of the law but which reflected their individual parish context. In this respect, this thesis proposes a less antagonistic view of religious change than has appeared from the historiography. By using a small number of carefully chosen case studies, this thesis offers a refined sense of place concerning the growth of Protestantism in both urban and rural communities in Kent. The case studies focus on the city of Canterbury, on the towns of Sandwich and New Romney and on the surrounding parishes which formed the rural hinterlands to these three urban communities. They reveal the complexities of religious change, and suggest that a homogenous response to state-imposed reforms cannot be assumed, even in parishes which were geographically close. Extending the research to 1625 has enabled an examination of the consolidation of Protestantism into the Jacobean period. This indicates how parish religion continued to develop after the death of Elizabeth, by which time people had clearer expectations and were prepared to demand more of their clergy. At James’s death, parish religion in the diocese of Canterbury was strong. 2 Acknowledgements Many people have supported me during the completion of this thesis. I would like to thank all those individuals at the University of Kent, especially within the Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies, who have helped me along the way.

In these conversations he was shocked, he wrote, to find such a large number of so-called Christians who were ‘so ignorant and brutish and so farre from being indeed that which they delight to bee called’.3 Nichols is well known for claiming in the early years of the seventeenth century that in his parish of Eastwell, after over twenty years of his own leadership, only one in ten of the communicants understood the basics of the Christian religion.4 Nichols’ pessimistic attitude towards the progress of the Protestant Reformation is one which has also been evident in the writings of a number of historians who have focused not only on the unwillingness of the bulk of the population to embrace Protestantism, but even on the inability of many people to understand the new religion. The aim of this study is to investigate the Reformation in the diocese of Canterbury following the Elizabethan Settlement of religion in 1559 until the death of King James I in 1625. In 1971, Keith Thomas suggested that conformity to the established religion after 1559 had ‘little or no impact on the lives of ordinary people’.5 Just over a decade later Christopher Haigh noted that conservative attitudes remained strong in the first half of Elizabeth’s reign, and that even in the second part of the reign, the ‘efforts of godly ministers’ were only able to create a ‘small Protestant 1 Josias Nichols, An Order of Household Instruction (1595), sig.

  • Monks Horton Parish Meeting From
    Monks Horton Parish Meeting from . Councillor, Vice Chairman SUBMISSION TO CSR. FHDC. JULY 2020. This document, published some 18 months ago has been reviewed to account for weather conditions over the past year. POTABLE WATER SUPPLY. I would begin by prefacing this document with a brief description of where we are now in terms of water scarcity and potable water supply for a growing community. The South East of England has always been, in relation to the rest of the UK, water stressed. With a growing local population, certainly over the past 30 years, measures have been taken to try to limit water usage which has, for the most part, been successful. Metering has played a big part in the water intake of households, made compulsory by the designation of our local water company, Affinity Water, of having ‘Water Scarcity Status’. Some 90% of supplies are now metered. Over recent years we have seen drought measures instigated by way of hose pipe bans, car washing facilities restricted or shut down and so forth. Affinity Water has persuaded us to use hippo bags in WC Cisterns, and even today are promoting (FOC) water saving shower heads and similar products to save water. There was even a plan to import water through the channel tunnel fire hydrant system and tow water filled barges across the North from Scandinavia in the mid nineties given the local drought situation. The scenario of severe drought has not yet fully been experienced, but with a growing local population, would the attempted measures of resilience being mooted be enough to alleviate and reduce such a situation happening in the near future? Migration from cities is definitely not one of them and would only serve to exacerbate the water scarcity situation even further.

    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 93 ) SOME SEVENTEENTH CENTURY LETTERS AND P E T I T I O N S EROM T H E M U N I M E N T S O F T H E DEAN A N D C H A P T E R O E C A N T E R B U R Y . EDITED BY 0. EVELEIGH WOODRUFF, M.A. INTRODUCTION THE thirty-two letters and petitions which, by the courtesy of the Dean and Chapter, I have been permitted to trans- cribe, and now to offer to the Kent Archasological Society for pubhcation, were written—with the exception of three or four—in the seventeenth century, on the eve of the troublous times which culminated in the overthrow of Church and King, or in the years immediately fohowing the restoration of the monarchy when deans and chapters, once more in possession of their churches, and estates, were reviving the worship and customs which had been for many years in abeyance. One letter, however, is of earher date than the seventeenth century and three are later. Thus number one is from the pen of Dr. Nicholas Wotton, the first dean of the New Eoundation. Wotton, who was much employed in affairs of state, did not spend much time at Canterbury. His letter, which is dated from London, February 11th, 1564-5, is addressed to his brethren the prebendaries of Canterbury, and its purport is to inform them that Sir Thomas Gresham has offered to build, at his own proper cost and charges, a new Royal Exchange in the city of London.

It incorporates comparable data from the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and the Elizabeth I. Much of the analysis is quantitative in nature: chapters compare the appointments of justices of the peace during the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, and reveal that purges of the commissions of the peace were far more common than is generally believed. Furthermore, purges appear to have been religiously- based, especially during the reign of Elizabeth I. There is a gap in the quantitative data beginning in 1569, only eleven years into Elizabeth I’s reign, which continues until 1584. In an effort to compensate for the loss of quantitative data, this dissertation analyzes a different primary source, William Lambarde’s guidebook for JPs, Eirenarcha. The fourth chapter makes particular use of Eirenarcha, exploring required duties both in and out of session, what technical and personal qualities were expected of JPs, and how well they lived up to them.

  • Some Problems of the North Downs Trackway in Kent
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society SOME PROBLEMS OF THE NORTH DOWNS TRACKWAY IN KENT By REV. H. W. R. Liman, S.J., M.A.(0xon.) THE importance of this pre-historic route from the Continent to the ancient habitat of man in Wiltshire has long been recognized. In the Surrey Archceological Collections of 1964 will be found an attempted re-appraisal of its route through the county of Surrey. Although the problems connected with its passage through Kent are fewer owing to its being better preserved, there are some points which I think still deserve attention—the three river crossings of the Darenth, the Medway and the Stour; the crossing of the Elham valley; and the passage to Canterbury of the branch route from Eastwell Park, known as the Pilgrims' Way. It may be worth while, before dealing with the actual crossings, to note a few general characteristics. Mr. I. D. Margary—our most eminent authority on ancient roads in Britain—has pointed out the dual nature of this trackway. It com- prises a Ridgeway and a Terraceway. The first runs along the crest of the escarpment. The second runs parallel to it, usually at the point below the escarpment where the slope flattens out into cultivation. In Kent for the most part the Terraceway has survived more effectually than the Ridgeway. It is for much of its length used as a modern road, marked by the familiar sign 'Pilgrims' Way'. Except at its eastern terminus the Ridgeway has not been so lucky, although it can be traced fairly accurately by those who take the trouble to do so.
