It stands to reason that they are not all necessarily right. It is equally the case that many of the ideas expressed are likely to be perfectly good ones. Perhaps good ideas have been put forward in the past and have been voted down by the membership – just because they came from Grand (National) Council. That is the reality of democracy I suppose. What does concern me is hearing of negative comments by Brothers on social media; what impression does this give to prospective visiting gentlemen? Since I took office in May, I have worked to try and improve communication between National Council and the members. I sought approval to launch Insights and intend to steadily grow this into a more effective tool. I believe in positive action. Starting from October, I propose to commence a monthly clinic and I invite Brothers to email me and book an appointment for a one-to-one meeting with me by Zoom. This will present every Brother with the opportunity to be heard. I cannot guarantee to solve every problem, but I I joined the Catenian Association in 1991. At one do promise to listen. I want Brothers to know that they can ask questions, make suggestions and offer criticism of my first meetings as a new Brother, my Circle directly to me, rather than on social media. mentor advised me that we had to hold a vote If there is sufficient demand I may make this a on a proposal from Grand Council. fortnightly event. He went on to advise me that it was customary to vote In the future I hope to be able to offer follow-up sessions against any such proposal. When I asked him: “What if it where I could facilitate the debate of a common theme is a good idea?” he replied, “It won’t be – it’s from Grand between Brothers and the relevant GBNC Council.” work group chairs. Although this tale sounds ridiculous, there does still seem I look forward to hearing from you, Brothers! to be an environment where whatever National Council tries to do, it is never good enough for some. We all love National Secretary Clinic the Association and the way in which sharing our faith in friendship strengthens it. We believe in taking care of our First Saturday of the month, starting 3 October, widows and of each other and we cherish the friendships 9.30am-12.30pm that being Catenians has enabled us to make. I want this Email [email protected] to continue and for more Catholic lay men to have the for an individual appointment (20 mins). same opportunity to experience these simple pleasures. Reading the articles in last month’s Catena, I was struck by a sense of frustration. It is never easy when a person is convinced they have all the answers but nobody wants to listen.

Vernacular Writings in the Medieva} Libraries of Great Britain I Glenise Scott, Ph.0. thesis, Keel e, 1 980. ABSTRACT The thesis comprises four volumes: an introductory discussion; two volumes containing lists of religious and other institutions with information on the works in the vernacular languages which they are known to have owned; and a volume of indices and bibliographies. The information is obtained from the surviving books of the medieval period, here taken as extending to 1540, which are known to have belonged to the religious and other houses, and from their medieval catalogues, book-lists and other documents. With the help of the indices, one may find the information relevant to a particular house, to an Anglo-Saxon, French or English work, or to a given manuscript. The introduction makes some general’observations concerning the libraries and books of medieval institutions, lists the medieval catalogues and book-lists chronologically, and considers the various kinds of vernacular writings, with particular reference to their production and ownership by the religious houses. Finally, some areas for further research are indicated.

For this reason it has been thought well to reprint this account of the greatest plague that has probably ever devastated the world in historic times. Al­ though the subject is necessarily of a doleful and melancholy character, it is of importance in the . world's history, both as the account of a universal catastrophe and in its far-reaching effects. Since the original. publication of Tl,e Great Pestilence additional interest in the subject of bubonic plague has been aroused by the alarming mortality recently caused by it in India, and by the threatened outbreaks in various parts of Europe, where, however, the watchful care of the sanitary authorities has so far enabled them to deal with the sporadic cases which have appeared during the past few years, and to prevent the spread of the terrible scourge.

Harvest Festival is upon us and it won't be long until All Saints, All Souls and Remembrance Sunday. Yet the Coronavirus pandemic, which many of us thought might be over by the summer, is still casting its shadow over us and will probably continue to do so past Christmas and New Year. Indeed, I found myself thinking today that next year's Lent course will have to have a rather different format than before. However, it is not my intention to make us all feel even more depressed. Rather than simply thinking about how frustrating the last seven months or so have been or worrying about the next six or seven, perhaps we should think about what this time has taught us. After all Saint Paul assures us that God works in all things for good; so what are the positives we can draw out of this time? As I suggested in last month's magazine, we have all had more time to reflect upon the world around us, to listen to the birds, to watch the flowers − or the weeds − grow, to walk by the sea.

  • Durham Priory
    Durham Priory – Prior of Lytham’s Accounts (performances are at Durham except where marked L; L+D indicates accounts that include performances at both Lytham and Durham; accounts probably relating to Lancashire performances are in brown – but see End Note 1456-7 for doubtful cases) Introduction 1342-1534, but there is no relevant material before 1346. One membrane, length 310-802 mm., width 203-335 mm. Single-column with undivided expenses. The first relevant account has expenses written as a continuous paragraph, but thereafter each item has a separate line. The usual terminal date is the Monday after Ascension, except for the period 1393-5, when it is Pentecost (on 1394-5, see Textual Note). In 1456-7 the account runs from St. Lawrence (10th August) to the Monday after Ascension; the account for the earlier part of the year may never have been written, since the eccentric opening date was caused by the death of the previous Prior – see Textual Note. Lytham Priory, on the north bank of the River Ribble, was founded between 1189 and 1194 as a result of a gift from Richard Fitz Roger, a local magnate who was inspired by gratitude to St. Cuthbert for miraculous cures of himself and his infant son.1 It was relatively prosperous, but for much of the time from the early fifteenth century until the dissolution its prior was on bad terms with many of the local landowners. The exception was during the priorate of William Partrike (1431-1446), a rather acquisitive monk who took the side of the local magnates against the mother house and tried unsuccessfully to detach Lytham from its dependence on Durham.2 In view of this, the large number of payments to minstrels at Lytham seems surprising, as does their absence from precisely the period of Partrike’s priorate, despite the survival of an almost complete run of accounts for that period.

  • Radiocarbon Dates
    PINK?book covers (18mm) v2:Layout 1 13-03-12 11:01 AM Page 1 RADIOCARBON DATES RADIOCARBON DATES RADIOCARBON DATES This volume holds a datelist of 882 radiocarbon determinations carried out between 1988 and 1993 on behalf of the Ancient Monuments Laboratory of English Heritage. It contains supporting information about the samples and the sites producing them, a comprehensive bibliography, and two indexes for reference and from samples funded by English Heritage analysis. An introduction provides discussion of the character and taphonomy of the between 1988 and 1993 dated samples and information about the methods used for the analyses reported and their calibration. The datelist has been collated from information provided by the submitters of the samples and the dating laboratories. Many of the sites and projects from which dates have been obtained are published, although, when some of these measurements were produced, high-precision calibration was not possible for much of the radiocarbon timescale. At this time, there was also only a limited range of statistical techniques available for the analysis of radiocarbon dates. Methodological developments since these measurements were made may allow revised archaeological interpretations to be constructed on the basis of these dates, and so the purpose of this volume is to provide easy access to the raw scientific and contextual data which may be used in further research.

  • The Building Accounts of Kirby Muxloe Castle, 1480-1484
    THE BUILDING ACCOUNTS OE KIEBT! MUXLOE CASTLE. 193 THE BUILDING ACCOUNTS OF KIRBY MUXLOE CASTLE, 1480-1484. EDITED, WITH AN INTRODUCTION AND NOTES, BY A. HAMILTON THOMPSON, M.A., F.S.A. INTRODUCTION. A brief description of the MS. volume of accounts, of which a summary edition follows here, has been given already in our Transactions by Mr. T. H. Fosbrooke, together with a photo­ graphic reproduction of two of its leaves.3 It will be remembered that it is the record of the weekly expenses disbursed in connexion with the rebuilding or, as the steward who cast up the accounts more accurately calls it, the repair of the castle of Kirby Muxloe. Since the discovery of the MS., it has been examined by Mr. C. R. Peers, Professor Lethaby and other architectural scholars ; but it has remained untranscribed and unedited. Early in 1917 the present writer was enabled, through the good offices of his friend Mr. Fosbrooke, to undertake the task ; and the results are now presented to members of our Society. The work begun in October, 1480, by order of William, lord Hastings, was the transformation of the manor-house or small castle which already existed at Kirby into a fortified dwelling of considerable size and importance. We know nothing ot the earlier building apart from the few indications contained in the accounts, which show that it stood on part of the present site and that its hall was retained when the new inner court was made. Lord Hastings' work included the formation of this inner court, the castle proper, which he surrounded with a moat and a brick wall.

Until recently, performance activities in smaller communities have received little or no attention, except perhaps as something of antiquarian interest. And one area of theatre history that has been largely overlooked is the involvement of monasteries in local performance activities. Yet the precious few, fragmentary, monastic records that survived the dissolutions of the monasteries under Henry VIII and Edward VI, suggest that several monasteries gave active financial support to local theatre in England before and during the early Tudor period.

In this period further record sources have been provided by episcopal registers, governmental enrol- ments, court records, and so on. Full references are given for establishing the dates and outline of the career of each abbot or prior, abbess or prioress, when known, although the information varies considerably from the richly documented lists of the great Benedictine houses to the small cells where perhaps only a single name or date may be recorded in a chance archival survival. The lists are arranged by order: the Benedictine houses (independent, depen- dencies, and alien priories); the Cluniacs; the Grandmontines; the Cistercians; the Carthusians; the Augustinian canons; the Premonstratensians; the Gilbertine order; the Trinitarian houses; the Bonhommes; and the nuns.
