The list here given is the result of exhaustive research in the Rochester Registers (Reg. Roff.), in the Acta Curia Consistoria (Act. Cur. Consist.), in the Harleian MSS., in the Close Rolls, and in old wills and other ancient documents. It has therefore been thought proper to give against the various names the authorities on the strength of which those names are included. Rectors Previous to 1226 no information. 1 226-1238.

In 1537 the rectory, by order of Henry VIII, was transferred to the Bishops of Rochester, who were to “ appoint, ordain, and sufficiendy endow perpetual vicars,” etc. (Patent Rolls, Henry VIII). The incumbents therefore lost their rectorial status, and were, from 1537, Vicars or Perpetual Curates. V icars or Perpetual Curates 1537-1548. Ralph Tylney . He was Curate for at least twenty years before he was appointed as the first Perpetual Vicar under the order of Henry VIII. His name appears more frequently than any other in wills, not only as witness, but also as executor, or as overseer, so he was evidently a man most intimately associated with his people.

  • Cemetery Records
    RESEARCH GUIDE Cemetery Records Research Guide 5: Cemetery Records CONTENTS Introduction Main cemetery records held at LMA Bunhill Fields (CLC/271) New Bunhill Fields, Islington (B/NBF) The City of London Cemetery, Little Ilford (CLA/052) The City of London and Tower Hamlets Cemetery (CTHC) Other cemetery records at LMA Indexes and Transcripts in the LMA Library Records held elsewhere Introduction Before the mid-19th century most burials in London took place in churchyards and from the mid-16th century were recorded in parish registers. Some hospitals and other institutions had their own burial grounds. From the time of the Black Death special burial grounds outside the City walls were provided for people who died from the periodic epidemics of plague which afflicted London. Land to the north of the Artillery Ground known as Bunhill Fields was set aside in 1665 as a plague burial ground, but was not used for this purpose. It then became a burial ground for nonconformists. After 1690 many nonconformist meeting houses and chapels were established in London some of which had their own burial grounds. By the late 18th century the London churchyards were becoming overcrowded. New cemeteries were established as private speculations generally offering slightly lower charges for burials than the churchyards. Some of these burial grounds were originally connected to chapels adjoining them, but were subsequently bought by private individuals. By 1835 there were at least fourteen such burial grounds in London including Spa Fields, Clerkenwell, opposite London Metropolitan Archives (LMA) where about 80, 000 people were buried. An enquiry in 1843 discovered that about 40 burials were taking place each day.

    EDITORIAL E have before commented enviously on the freedom with which American scholars can pursue their researches-not: W a complete freedom, because America is more and more in the war, and such Libraries as the Folger in Washington, and the Huntington in California, have sent their books and manuscripts to safer places.-surely an excess of caution! And what a pleasure it is nowadays to handle a book on white paper, with good print and wide margins, and free from all suggestions of overcrowding. Such a one is Dr. W. K. Jordan's Men of Substance {Chicago and Cam­ bridge Univ. Presses, 18s.), which is reviewed in the Congregational Quarterly, January, 1944. Those who have used Dr. Jordan's four volumes on toleration will open this account of two Parliamentarian supporters, Henry Parker and Henry Robinson, with eagerness, and they will not be disappointed. Too often does Cromwell's greatness obscure the service rendered by smaller men; here are two civil servants, not working silently, for they were prolific pamphleteers, but working efficiently, with clear heads and bright ideas. We mention the book here, partly in order that our readers may not overlook it, and partly in order to emphasize a point, well made by Dr. Jordan, which conveys a much-needed warning to students. There has been a tendency, especially since the modern stress on economics was read back into the 17th century, to discuss minor movements and extreme elements at the expense of more solid and less vocal ones. But Dr. Jordan puts it so well that we cannot do better than quote his words: The historian, unable completely to divest himself of modern preoccupations and preconceptions, is perplexed by the essen­ tially conservative nature of the English Revolution.

DOI: 5 The Clergy at the Courts of George I and George II STEPHEN TAYLOR In the years between the Reformation and the revolution of 1688 the court lay at the very heart of English religious life. Court bishops played an important role as royal councillors in matters concerning both church and commonwealth. 1 Royal chaplaincies were sought after, both as important steps on the road of prefer- ment and as positions from which to influence religious policy.2 Printed court sermons were a prominent literary genre, providing not least an important forum for debate about the nature and character of the English Reformation.

Inevitably linked to Milton’s Restoration reputation as spokesman for the Protectorate and regicides, Paradise Lost’s reception in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries is marked by a series of approaches and retreats, repressions and recoveries. This dissertation examines the critical interventions made by P.H. (traditionally identified as Patrick Hume), John Dennis, Joseph Addison, and Richard Bentley into the reception history of a poem burdened by political and religious baggage. It seeks to illuminate the manner in which these earliest commentators sought to separate Milton’s politics from his poem, rendering the poem “safe” by removing it from contemporary political discourse.
