Sears McGee Copyright by Jordan Swan Downs 2015 The Dissertation of Jordan Swan Downs is approved: ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgements I wish to express my gratitude to all of the people who have helped me to complete this dissertation. This project was made possible due to generous financial support form the History Department at UC Riverside and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Other financial support came from the William Andrew’s Clark Memorial Library, the Huntington Library, the Institute of Historical Research in London, and the Santa Barbara Scholarship Foundation. Original material from this dissertation was published by Cambridge University Press in volume 57 of The Historical Journal as “The Curse of Meroz and the English Civil War” (June, 2014). Many librarians have helped me to navigate archives on both sides of the Atlantic. I am especially grateful to those from London’s livery companies, the London Metropolitan Archives, the Guildhall Library, the National Archives, and the British Library, the Bodleian, the Huntington and the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library. Personal debts are due to the many scholars and individuals who tipped me off to the bounty of lesser-known holdings and their contents. Special thanks, however, are owed to Jason Peacey for sharing his unrivaled knowledge of archival materials during the 1640s on numerous occasions. This project has benefitted immensely from his generosity. This dissertation was aided by a community of scholars who triangulate their professional lives in relation to the British Library, the Institute of Historical Research, and the Skinner’s Arms. A lengthy and rotating cast of faces means that many must unfortunately remain unnamed, but numerous seminars, productive conversations, and pints have been enjoyed with Richard Bell, John Collins, Tom Cogswell, Sam Fullerton, Simon Healey, Peter Lake, Edward Legon, Sears McGee, Leanna McLaughlin, Noah Millstone, Jason Peacey, Tim Reinke-Williams, Steve Teske, Eliot Vernon, Tim Wales, and others. Three young scholars have been of particular importance to my time in London. Matt Growhoski, Dave Magliocco, and Isaac Stephens have all helped to sharpen my thinking about this project – and more importantly they have made the modern metropolis feel more like home. iv I was extremely fortunate to wander into Sears McGee’s survey course on Tudor history a little over a decade ago. Neither of us could have known at the time, but his lectures and office hours helped to lay the foundation for my entire academic trajectory. His “Hexterian” pen has vanquished countless written errors, and his unmatched knowledge of Sir Simonds D’Ewes has contributed to my conceptualization of the early 1640s. Sears’s teaching and advice saw me through to my MA work with Richard Cust at the University of Birmingham. Aside from dealing with the eccentricities and foibles of a young American graduate student, Richard was kind enough to help me to navigate the National Archives and the British Library on early trips. Those trips, along with numerous conversations and sage advice, introduced me to a much wider arena of scholarship. Stints outside of academia were filled with academic reading guided by Stefania Tutino. I am thankful for our many conversations that have ranged from Triplici Nodo, Triplex Cuneus to the best means to transport foie gras from Paris to the California. My greatest scholarly debt is of course owed to Thomas Cogswell. Tom’s first mention of London’s many archives sounded much more like a lengthy incantation than a feasible roadmap for a project. I have happily since been proven wrong. His unflagging support, scholarly dynamism, and indeed patience guided the entire course of my researching and writing this dissertation. It has since become apparent why so many other scholars speak highly of the man – I am grateful to now have the opportunity to join their chorus. Family and friends have always helped to remind me about the truly important things in life. I want to offer my sincere thanks to Nancy Smith and to Joe and Annette Macias. Three huzzahs to Katie for her help with maps. To Jessica, Sam, Blake, Andy, Aron, Geneva, Sean and Mark: we should catch up now that this thing is finally finished. Doug and Kate Downs have supported and encouraged me since the very beginning, and although my early dismissal of high school made an academic trajectory seem unlikely, I am now pleased to offer this dissertation as a testament to their unflagging efforts. Finally, it must be said this project would have never seen completion without the persistent support and encouragement of my wife, Meghan. Her own love of London – and indeed her endless v peregrinations and ability to find “what is on in London’s art galleries” – has made for the best of times. Researching and writing this dissertation set the pace for our late twenties and beyond. This one is for her. vi ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Mobilizing the Metropolis: Politics, Plots and Propaganda in Civil War London, 1642-1644 by Jordan Swan Downs Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in History University of California, Riverside, December 2015 Dr. Thomas Cogswell, Chairperson This dissertation explores the dynamics of mobilization in London during the first three years of the English Civil War (1642-1644). Previous scholars have assumed that the City, which was the single most important source of manpower and resources at the outbreak war, was uniformly “Parliamentarian” in outlook. I contend that this viewpoint is problematic for a number of reasons. Foremost, it has misrepresented metropolitan inhabitants by focusing almost exclusively on elite as opposed to popular narratives. We now recognize that London’s mobilization depended upon a wide array of attitudes and opinions. These could be as clearly expressed as they were on 13 November 1642, when thousands of inhabitants marched to Turnham Green to stop royalists from marching on London and to protect their families, religions, and livelihoods. Alternatively, they could be as convoluted as the opinions expressed during public demonstrations, or as subtle and complex as the many printed reactions to material that dealt with propagandized plots and newsbooks accounts of military defeats and successes. Next is the matter of change over time. The persistent burdens of war transformed how Londoners perceived the conflict. Not only did many Londoners quickly lose their appetites for war, but many, in light of shifting attitudes, also worked harder than ever to mobilize the City’s inhabitants. This dissertation therefore pays particular attention to London’s leading belligerents – especially Lord Mayor Isaac Pennington and his allies. These radical citizens helped to ensure that the City’s Common Council operated as a politically innovative “third house of parliament,” secured desperately needed loans from London’s livery companies, and worked tirelessly to see that “delinquent” ministers were extirpated from City parishes. While never entirely successful in their aims, London’s belligerents nevertheless altered the course of the war. Their efforts to vii win over the hearts and minds of Londoners spurred rival campaigns to both militarize and pacify the metropolis. Rival efforts – and especially those of London’s leading belligerents – ultimately shaped the terms of the civil war in metropolis and the wider nation. viii Table of Contents Introduction The Return of the Five Members…………………………………………...1 Mobilizing the Metropolis………………………………………………….4 London…………………..………………………………………………….14 Historiography……………………………………………………………...20 Sources and Methodology……………………………………………….…26 Section I.

  • EDITORIAL HE 55Th Annual Meeting of the Society Was Held at Westi:Hn?Sji
    EDITORIAL HE 55th Annual Meeting of the Society was held at Westi:hn?sJI.. Chapel on 12 May, 1954, at 5.30 p.m. There were present T some 65 members and non-members. The resignation of the General Secretary, the Rev. H. Sellers, on his leaving Ilford for Redditch, was accepted with regret; members were glad to hear that the Rev. E.W. Dawe was willing to serve in this capacity, and elected him to the office. The meeting also accepted with regret the resignation of Dr. R. S. Paul, Associate Editor of these Transactions, and expressed its best wishes for his future work as he goes to represent Congre­ gationalism in a wider sphere at the Ecumenical Institute at Bossey. The other officers were re-elected, with thanks for their continued services, together with those of Mr. Sellers and Dr. Paul. Congregationalists in this country, and especially those interested in our history, have welcomed the return from Grahamstown to this country of Dr. Horton Davies, now Senior Lecturer in Church History at Mansfield and Regent's Park Colleges, Oxford. Those who know his book, The Worship of the English Puritans, will be interested to learn that Dr. Davies is at work on a continuation of this subject. A foretaste of it was enjoyed by the members of our Society in the paper on" Liturgical Reform in Nineteenth-Century English Congre­ gationalism", which Dr. Davies read at our Annual Meeting, and which is printed within. It was delivered with much charm, vigour and sly humour. It is a thousand pities that the pressure of other, and supposedly more important, meetings always prevents us from following the lecture with a period of questions and discussion.

  • The Smithfield Gazette
    THE SMITHFIELD GAZETTE EDITION 164 April 2018 REMEMBERING THE POULTRY MARKET FIRE Early on 23 January 1958 a fire broke out in the basement of the old Poultry Market building at Smithfield Market. It was to be one of the worst fires London had seen since the Blitz. The old Poultry Market was similar in style to the two remaining Victorian buildings – it was also designed by Sir Horace Jones and opened in 1875. In a moving ceremony held in Grand Avenue exactly sixty years after the fire started, the two firefighters who died were remembered by the unveiling of one of the Fire Brigades Union’s new red plaques. Wreaths were laid by Matt Wrack, General Secretary of the Fire Brigades Union, Greg Lawrence, Chairman of the Smithfield Market Tenants’ Association and Mark Sherlock, Superintendent of Smithfield Market. Serving and retired firefighters attended as well as Market tenants and representatives of the City of London. Two fire engines were also there. The fire burned for three days in the two and a half acre basement, which was full of crates of poultry as well as being lined with wooden match boarding which had become soaked with fat over a period of years – this meant that the fire spread exceptionally quickly. Reports of the time state that by dawn the stalls and market contents had been destroyed, the roof had collapsed and what was left was a blackened shell enclosing a twisted heap of ironwork and broken masonry. Flames 100 feet high lit the night sky. Firefighters from Clerkenwell fire station were the first to arrive on the scene, including Station Officer Jack Fourt-Wells, aged 46, and Firefighter Richard Stocking, 31, the two who lost their lives.

Downame was also known for his role in publishing two of the most popular theological manuals: Sir Henry Finch’s The Summe of Sacred Divinitie (1620), which consisted of a much more expanded version of Finch’s earlier Sacred Doctrine (1613), and Archbishop James Ussher’s A Body of Divinitie (1645), which was published from rough manuscripts and without Ussher’s consent, having been intended for private use.2 Downame also had a role in codifying the Westminster annotations on the Bible, being one of a few city ministers to work on the project, though he never sat at the Westminster Assembly.3 Downame’s older brother, 1 Various historians from the seventeenth century to the present have spelled Downame’s name differently (either Downame or Downham). The majority of seventeenth century printed works, however, use “Downame.” I here follow that practice.
