Our policy information is available from the repository home page. Popular Religion, Culture and Politics in the Midlands, c. 1638-1646 Simon Charles Osborne Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Warwick Department of History February, 1993 Summary This thesis is a study of popular allegiance in five midland counties during the English Civil War, 1642- 1646. It considers the relationship between allegiance and popular religion and culture. It aims to provide a regional case study of popular reactions to the war, with particular reference to recent theories of allegiance, which have emphasised the role played by religion and culture. Although the approach is broadly chronological, religion and culture are discussed mainly in the first half of the thesis, and popular allegiance in the second. Chapter One surveys popular religion and culture in the region from c. 1603 to 1638. Chapter Two characterises popular politics on the eve of the Civil War. Chapter Three deals with popular religion and culture in the late 1630s and during the war. In particular, it considers whether or not distinct cultural regions had evolved by this time, and the nature and extent of popular puritanism and 'Anglicanism'.

  • Millennium Walk
    Pattishall Millennium Walk (OS Map Pathfinder Weedon Bec and Roade SP65/75 or OS Explorer 207 Northampton South). This way marked, circular route visits 8 of the 10 way points on the Pattishall Civil Parish Boundary, reviving the old tradition of ‘Beating the Bounds’. Although some of the walk is along local lanes, much of the route follows the established network of footpaths and bridleways in the Parish. The total estimated distance is 18 kilometres but it can be combined with other footpaths to make three shorter, circular walks. Start: Holy Cross Church (Way point 1, map reference SP672543) The Pattishall Millennium Walk begins and ends in the Forget-me-not 2000, Wildflower Garden in the church yard of Holy Cross. From any of the three church yard gates turn right along Church Street, past a row of old cottages to the entrance of Manor Farm. The footpath is sign posted and starts at the stile on the right, alongside the drive. Cross 3 stiles and follow the footpath towards the farm gate in the right hand corner of the large field, be sure to close it behind you. The footpath continues over the ‘Downs’ across two further stiles and two footbridges. After the second bridge you will be walking alongside Pattishall Brook which rises in the field behind Astcote and marks the Parish boundary at this point. In the corner of this field you will find the junction of a stream and the brook, way point 3, Cornhill/Bugbrooke Wharf. This stream is the North Western boundary of the Parish and runs from Geese Bridge on the A5, way point 2, to meet the brook at the foot of Cornhill.

  • A Pocket History
    Pattishall: a pocket history “…in the Town of Pateshull are four and forty houses…in Fosters Booth 4 houses…Astcote…a village of seven and twenty houses…Eastcote…now a village of four and thirty houses and Dalscote a village of fourteen houses.” Since 1720, when John Bridges wrote this description, the parish has seen many changes; but the dispersed nature of the component hamlets in parish has remained - a reminder of its antiquity as a settlement. Place names ending with cote or cot are a unique feature of the Towcester region. A cot/cote was a sheiling, a sheepfold or farmstead. The settlements are Anglo- Saxon in origin and each continued their separate existence both before and after the Norman Conquest in 1066. The prefixes often denote personal or folk/tribal names. Astcote was ‘Aefic’s cot’ - attributed by some to a monk of Evesham Abbey. Pattishall was Pascelle – Paetti’s or Paettel’s Hill’. The Paetti could be a derivative of Paetta – the hill or hall of Paetta’s people. Neither Dalscote nor Eastcote are mentioned in Domesday Book in 1086 but they each have pre-Conquest linguistic roots; Dalscote was Deor(e)’s cote and Eastcote was Eadwine’s cot. The consolidation of these settlements into one parish took place during the re-conquest of Danelaw by the Kings of Wessex. Into this settlement came Walter the Fleming and his heirs as lords of the manor controlling a population estimated between 201 and 274, depending on the multiplier used. Population, work and lifestyles have been transformed over the years.
