In mediaeval times, the clergy, monks and canons sang the eight daily offices standing in their stalls. By the tenth century the stalls were partly enclosed with wooden sides and backs to protect the occupants from the cold and draughts of an unheated building. The word "stall" means a place to stand. We still use the term in "cattle stalls". Although fold-up seats were introduced in the eleventh century, these could be used only for the Epistle and Gradual at Mass and the Responses at Vespers. By the twelfth century, small ledges on the undersides of seats were referred to as indulgences, or in Latin misericordia, meaning acts of mercy.

I WILL not be so ill-natured as to quote the names of all the writers who have denied the existence of Puritan eccentricities at the font. One, at least, ought to have known better, for he has edited more books of the Puritan epoch than any other man in England. The mistake of all is that, misled perhaps by Walter Scott and Macaulay, they have looked solely to the Commonwealth period. The custom was then in its decay. I have to thank several clergymen for giving me extracts from the registers and records under their care.' A stranger to them, I felt some diffidence in making my requests.

  • Convocations Called by Edward IV and Richard of Gloucester in 1483: Did They Ever Take Place?
    Convocations Called by Edward IV and Richard of Gloucester in 1483: Did They Ever Take Place? ANNETTE CARSON IN I 4 8 3 , THE YEAR OF THREE KINGS, a series of dramatic regime changes led to unforeseen disruptions in the normal machinery of English government. It was a year of many plans unfulfilled, beginning with those of Edward IV who was still concerned over unfinished hostilities with James III of Scotland, and had also made clear his intention to wreak revenge on the treacherous Louis XI of France. All this came to naught when Edward's life ended suddenly and unexpectedly on 9 April. His twelve-year-old son, Edward V, was scheduled to be crowned as his successor, with Edward IV's last living brother Richard, Duke of Gloucester, appointed as lord protector. But within two months Richard had become king in his place, with young Edward deposed on the grounds that his father's marriage to Queen Elizabeth Woodville was both bigamous and secret, thus rendering their children illegitimate. Since this article will be looking closely at the events of this brief period, perhaps it will be useful to start with a very simplified chronology of early 1483. The ques- tions addressed concern two convocations, called by royal mandate in February and May respectively, about which some erroneous assumptions will be revealed.' January/February Edward IV's parliament. 3 February A convocation of the southern clergy is called by writ of Edward IV. 9 April Edward IV dies. 17-19 April Edward's funeral takes place, attended by leading clergy.

It is, unfortunately, by no means adequate for this purpose ; many of the well-known forms referred to in the Introduction are not as yet represented. Mediaeval pieces are almost unobtainable ; but it is possible to find the productions of the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. The collection waits for the munificence of donors who will enrich- it with such objects as a font-shaped cup and a ewer and dish of the sixteenth century ; a steeple-cup and punch- bowl of the seventeenth century; and fine pierced work of the eighteenth century. It needs fuller representation, too, of the rich work of Paul Lamerie and his contemporaries : the plain silver of the beginning of the eighteenth century is now repre- sented by Mr.
