  • Thomas Becket: Chancellor, Archbishop and Saint
    Thomas Becket: Chancellor, Archbishop and Saint 7 July: feast day commemorating the translation of his remains from the crypt to Trinity Chapel shrine in the cathedral, 800 years ago, in 1220. 29 December: St. Thomas’s Becket’s feast day, commemorating his martyrdom in Canterbury Cathedral, 850 years ago, in 1170. An extensive programme of events to mark these anniversaries was planned by the cathedral at Canterbury, but because of the Covid-19 pandemic, all have been postponed until 29 December at the earliest. A pilgrimage along the medieval Pilgrim’s Way from Southwark to Canterbury has been cancelled. Holy Trinity Church’s commemorations, centred on our own medieval Becket chantry chapel, have likewise had to be postponed, but the Becket exhibition in the church celebrates these significant 2020 dual anniversaries. Thomas Becket was born c. 1118, in Cheapside, London, son of a Norman merchant father. He rose from these modest beginnings to become a powerful adversary of his king, Henry II, and one of the most venerated medieval Christian saints. Educated first at the Augustinian Merton Priory, then in London and Paris, he started his career serving the city sheriffs as a clerk and accountant; he then became a member of the illustrious household of Archbishop Theobald, who appointed Becket as his agent, and sent by him to study civil and canon law at Bologna and Auxerre. In 1154, Theobald made him Archdeacon of Canterbury, an important and lucrative post, and less than three months later he recommended him to Henry II as Lord Chancellor. In this post, Becket had the opportunity to distinguish himself in initiatives no longer associated with Chancellor; he razed castles, repaired the Tower of London, conducted embassies, mustered and led troops in battle, and was trusted completely by Henry, becoming his close companion and intimate friend, both at court and in the hunting field.

Nicholas Dixon November 2018 ii Thesis Summary The Activity and Influence of the Established Church in England, c. 1800-1837 Nicholas Andrew Dixon Pembroke College, Cambridge This thesis examines the various ways in which the Church of England engaged with English politics and society from c. 1800 to 1837. Assessments of the early nineteenth-century Church of England remain coloured by a critique originating in radical anti-clerical polemics of the period and reinforced by the writings of the Tractarians and Élie Halévy. It is often assumed that, in consequence of social and political change, the influence of a complacent and reactionary church was irreparably eroded by 1830.

  • George Abbot 1562-1633 Archbishop of Canterbury
    English Book Owners in the Seventeenth Century: A Work in Progress Listing How much do we really know about patterns and impacts of book ownership in Britain in the seventeenth century? How well equipped are we to answer questions such as the following?: • What was a typical private library, in terms of size and content, in the seventeenth century? • How does the answer to that question vary according to occupation, social status, etc? • How does the answer vary over time? – how different are ownership patterns in the middle of the century from those of the beginning, and how different are they again at the end? Having sound answers to these questions will contribute significantly to our understanding of print culture and the history of the book more widely during this period. Our current state of knowledge is both imperfect, and fragmented. There is no directory or comprehensive reference source on seventeenth-century British book owners, although there are numerous studies of individual collectors. There are well-known names who are regularly cited in this context – Cotton, Dering, Pepys – and accepted wisdom as to collections which were particularly interesting or outstanding, but there is much in this area that deserves to be challenged. Private Libraries in Renaissance England and Books in Cambridge Inventories have developed a more comprehensive approach to a particular (academic) kind of owner, but they are largely focused on the sixteenth century. Sears Jayne, Library Catalogues of the English Renaissance, extends coverage to 1640, based on book lists found in a variety of manuscript sources. Evidence of book ownership in this period is manifested in a variety of ways, which need to be brought together if we are to develop that fuller picture.

It has often been defined by contemporary criticism, such as this assuredly rhetorical statement by John of Salisbury, or through the charters, acta, of archdeacons themselves, which are dominated by only the administrative processes of the office.

  • THE PARISH CLERGY M the DIOCESE of CANTERBURY AND
    THE PARISH CLERGY m THE DIOCESE OF CANTERBURY AND ARCHDEACONRY OF BEDFORD IN THE REIGN OF CHARLES I AND UNDER THE COMMONWEALTH A THESIS PRESENTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GILLIAN L. IGNJATIJEVIC DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD SEPTEMBER 1988 SUMMARY OF THESIS THE PARISH CLERGY IN THE DIOCESE OF CANTERBURY AND ARCHDEACONEY OF BEDFORD IN THE REIGN OF CHARLES I AD UNDER THE COMMONWEALTH GILLIAN L. IGNJATIJEVIC This study is concerned with the nature of the parish ministry in the diocese of Canterbury and archdeaconry of Bedford, its educational, professional, economic and social status, its work and its relations with the laity. It is also concerned with the impact of the Civil War and Interregnum on the profession. The pre-Civil War clergy formed a professional group with its own hierarchy, set of rules, rudimentary form of training and career structure. There was a strong sense of professional identity amongst them. The parish ministry was a popular profession in which most ministers could expect resonable renumeration and some chance of promotion. It can be termed a distinct social group, reasonably close to the gentry in social standing. It is likely that most ministers fulfilled their duties; and it is also likely that behind many presentments for clerical negligence lay local conflicts. Between the Scylla and Charybdis of Arminianism and Laudianism on the one hand and Puritanism on the other lay the Anglicanism of the majority of the pre-Civil War clergy. The 1640's and 1650's was a period of extreme but temporary dislocation for the profession.

  • Some Early Visitation Rolls Preserved at Canterbury
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 143*) SOME EARLY VISITATION BOLLS PRESERVED AT CANTERBURY. BY C. EVELEIGH WOODRUEE, M.A. AMONGST the archives of the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury are certain vellum rolls which contain a record of the pro- ceedings in the Court of the Commissary of the Prior and Convent of Christ Church in the last decade of the thirteenth century. The see of Canterbury was vacant after the death of Archbishop Peckham for more than two years, during which period the Prior and Chapter, as guardians of the spiritualities, performed all diocesan functions which were not necessarily episcopal.* One of these functions was the holding of visitations in the parish churches throughout the diocese, a duty which, probably on account of the fees which could be exacted, seems always to have been undertaken with some alacrity. On this occasion the Prior and Chapter appointed as their Commissary brother Richard of Cliffe, a monk of their house, who travelled about the county, holding his court in the parish churches, summoning before him offenders whether clerical or lay, and giving injunctions for the reformation of any abuses or defects which might be brought to his notice. The record of his proceedings contains much information relating to the condition of church life in the country parishes more than six hundred years ago, which has not been published hitherto, and is perhaps worthy of a detailed notice in the pages of Archceologia Cantiana. The original record is, of course, in Latin, but for the convenience of those of our members who do not understand that language, it has been thought better to give an English translation, or in some cases an abstract of the contents of the rolls.
