  • Friday Dear Sir, I Presented Your Petition Today, but the Speaker Would Not Allow It to Be Referred to the Committee Which Will
    Friday Dear Sir, I presented your Petition today, but the Speaker would not allow it to be referred to the Committee which will sit after our short Holidays the end of next week because it objects in fact to the principle of the Bill. It will therefore be desirable that you should, after seeing the Bill, attend, as I understand it will be essentially, prepare another Petition against such clauses as you particularly object to – the second Reading took place on the day that your letter reached me, & the Petition was not given to me till the following one – no purpose desired on your part opposition to the to the second Reading, & Mr Leake told me that it was to pass by consent without resistance. Mr Williams told me otherwise afterwards, but you seem to have been tardy in taking defensive measures. Ld Ellenborough’s Bill applies to Exchanges of Common Land, & would probably not meet the present case, of which the object may in fact be useful, if the enclosure of the Cow Common & compulsory tithe assurances be abased now. The allotment proposed for the Poor must probably be desirable. Yrs faithfully, Harcourt This letter was sent by ‘FREE post, of 16 W 16 1834’, to The Revd. R Pryce, Aston, Bampton. It is marked (in a different had and in brown ink) “not Bampton Devon Try Witney Oxon”, and countersigned “W Harcourt” (William Harcourt was the MP for the area). Letter on hardship to follow inclosure of the open fields of Aston My dear Sir, A Bill has been read a first time in the House of Commons, & is immediately to be submitted to the consideration of a Committee, the object of which is to authorize the enclosure of (‘Aston & Coate’ crossed out) the Common Fields of Aston & Coate.

  • Patronage, Performance, and Reputation in the Eighteenth-Century Church
    PATRONAGE, PERFORMANCE, AND REPUTATION IN THE EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY CHURCH DANIEL REED OXFORD BROOKES UNIVERSITY Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the award of Doctor of Philosophy in History SEPTEMBER 2019 1 Lancelot Blackburne, Archbishop of York. After unknown artist. Mezzotint, sold by Thomas Bakewell. 1724 or after. Private collection of Daniel Reed. 2 For Freya 3 Abstract The perceived success of the revisionist programme in dissipating the ‘longest shadow in modern historiography’ calls into question the ongoing relevance of ‘optimistic’ versus ‘pessimistic’ interpretations of the Church of England in the long eighteenth century. And yet, the case of Lancelot Blackburne, Archbishop of York (1724-1743), has not benefitted from the ‘revisionist turn’ and represents an unparalleled problem in accounts of the Georgian episcopate. Whilst Benjamin Hoadly has been the most maligned bishop of the period for his theology, Blackburne is the most derided for his personal imperfections and supposed negligence of his episcopal duties. These references are often pernicious and euphemistic, manifesting in several quasi-apocryphal tales. The most regularly occurring being accounts of Blackburne’s lasciviousness, speculation over the paternity of his chaplain Thomas Hayter, and the Archbishop’s association with piracy. As long as these bastions of resistance to revisionism remain, negative assumptions will linger on in contemporary studies of the Church, regardless of whether they are reframed by current trends. As such, this thesis utilises under-explored archival sources to reorient Blackburne’s case to its historical context. This is achieved through an exploration of the inter-connected themes of patronage, performance, and reputation.

  • A Guide to the Church of the Ancient Parish of St Tudy, North Cornwall
    A GUIDE TO THE CHURCH OF THE ANCIENT PARISH OF ST TUDY, NORTH CORNWALL This guide was originally prepared, in 1994, by The Reverend Raymond Wood, then Rector of St Tudy. The guide was revised and updated by the St Tudy History Group in 2017. All proceeds go to Church Funds Contents Page Introduction 3 St Tudy 4 Brief history of the Church 6 South Porch 8 Nave & North Aisle 8 Lady Chapel 12 Chancel & Sanctuary 12 Organ 14 Vestry 15 South aisle 16 Tower & Bells 22 Churchyard 24 Other buildings 27 Appendices 1. Rectors 2. Organ details 3. Church Plate 4. Bells 5. Tombs & Headstones 6. Glossary 7. Bibliography 8. Reverend Wood’s Prologue 9. Floor Plan Sketch 2 Introduction The St Tudy circular churchyard is considered by Cornwall County Archaeologists to be built on the site of an Iron Age round – there is also evidence of several other Iron Age remains in the village and its environs, indicating that this area has been a settled community for more than 2,500 years and thus the term ‘ancient’ in our title. According to medieval traditions, Christianity arrived in Britain in the 2nd or 3rd century and the existence of Romano Christian inscriptions in Cornwall suggests that Christianity existed in the county by the end of the 5th century. Cornish bishops were reported to have assisted in the consecration of St Chad, Archbishop of the Mercians, in 664 but their names are merely legendary. The first recorded Bishop of Cornwall is Kenstec who was consecrated between 833 and 870. He professed obedience to the Archbishop of Canterbury, marking a stage in the incorporation of the Cornish Celtic Christian church into the English church; at that time Cornwall was a separate kingdom and Dungarth was the King.

    The view from Down St Mary 780 to 2014 DSM timeline © Roger Steer 780 The Saxons reach the Tamar. During the period of the Saxons, the natural forests of Devon are gradually cleared and most of the villages and settlements we take for granted in the countryside are established. 905 Bishop Putta is murdered – some say at the spot where Copplestone cross stands. 909 Diocese of Crediton created. 934-53 Bishop Ethelgar collects funds for the building of St Mary’s Minster at Crediton. 974 Copplestone Cross, at the junction of Down St Mary with two other parishes until 1992, is mentioned in a charter, but is much older than that. It is early Celtic interlaced work such as is not found elsewhere in England except in Northumbria. The cross gives a name to a once noted Devon family which comes in the local rhyme: Crocker, Cruwys, and Coplestone, When the Conqueror came were found at home. Eleventh Century 1018 Buckfast Abbey is founded under the patronage of King Canute. 1040 The Manor of Down(e) named after the Saxon settlement DUN meaning Hill, first recorded as being the gift of King Harthacnut. (Harthacnut was king of Denmark from 1028 to 1042 and of England from 1040 to 1042. Some of the glebe land in the manor originally formed part of the Devon estates of Harthacnut’s father, Canute, king of England 1016-35.) Tenure is granted to Aelfwein, Abbot of Buckfast in support of the ministry of the Abbey Church. Down St Mary is one of six Devon churches held by the Abbot of Buckfast prior to the Norman conquest, the others being Churchstow, Petrockstow, South Brent, Trusham and Zeal Monachorum.

  • Letter from Exeter Cathedral Dean May 2020
    How we can all pull together to make a difference People value Exeter Cathedral in all sorts of ways: as Devon’s best building as the beating heart of Exeter as their place of worship - regular or occasional - with world-class music as a venue for concerts and lectures and educational activities as an inspirational place to pray and reflect as a social hub But the Coronavirus pandemic means that we have had to close our doors for the first time ever in peace time. We are working hard to keep in touch in new ways during lockdown, including a varied programme of online worship, prayer, music, and pastoral support. However, we now need your help to keep it going through this tough time when no one can come in, when our choristers and musicians cannot perform together, and our stalls are empty. We started the year with a balanced budget, but now can expect virtually no commercial income from visitors, events, our cafe or our shop. This is forcing us to review every aspect of cathedral life to see where savings can be made, and is encouraging us to find new income sources, including grants, and a broad appeal across Devon asking people to support their cathedral. We are looking for 3,000 people to give an £5 per week for the next 12 months, and by Gift Aid wherever possible, so that we can face the future with much greater hope. Clearly not everyone will be able to give, but if we can push ourselves to give whatever we can afford, and encourage our friends and neighbours to do the same, we stand a real chance of surviving what otherwise might become a major catastrophe for Exeter Cathedral.

  • William Peckitt's Great West Window at Exeter Cathedral
    WILLIAM PECKITT’S GREAT WEST WINDOW AT EXETER CATHEDRAL C S Atkinson A thesis submitted to the University of Plymouth In partial fulfilment for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY October 2011 i Copyright This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and that no quotation from the thesis and no information derived from it may be published without the author’s prior consent. All photographs are by the author, unless otherwise stated All quotations, pictures and images have been utilised under the Fair Dealing for review principle of the UK Copyright, Design and Patents Act 1988. Additionally, every attempt has been made to identify and obtain direct permission to use pictures and images that are not my own property. ii Abstract This thesis examines the Great West Window at Exeter Cathedral designed by William Peckitt of York (1731-95). Peckitt was arguably the most important glass designer of the eighteenth century and undertook prestigious commissions at York, Oxford and elsewhere. In 1764 he was contracted by the Dean of Exeter, Jeremiah Milles, to supply glass to complete the restoration of the Cathedral’s glazing and to make the new window, which has often been considered to be his masterpiece. Peckitt’s Great West Window is no longer extant (although portions of it have been salvaged), having been replaced in 1904 with a window, designed by Messrs Burlison and Grylls, which was itself destroyed by enemy action in 1942. The Burlison and Grylls window was more in keeping with the Gothic revival aesthetic typical of the later nineteenth century and its proponents had argued forcefully that Peckitt’s Great West Window was an aberration that needed to be removed.
