  • The Original 1949 Cover
    The original 1949 cover 1 This excellent and detailed history of the former parish of St Mary of the Assumption, Burnley (now part of the Parish of the Good Samaritan) was written by Margaret Durkin and originally published in small booklet form to mark the first centenary of St Mary’s church in 1949. The website author has endeavoured to reproduce Mrs Durkin’s work as accurately as he can, and as far as possible as it appeared in the original booklet, but acknowledges that any errors or omissions (hopefully none!) are his. With grateful thanks to John Durkin, eldest son of the author for kind permission to publish on this website, thus ensuring that a wider audience will benefit from Margaret Durkin’s treatise in future. 2 CHAPTER I. THE BURNLEY WOOD CHAPEL. Until the Reformation, all the people of Burnley were professed Catholics and the Parish Church of St. Peter was the centre of the religious life of the town. At the church, people met on Sundays and Feast Days to hear Mass; on every day of the week the offices of the Sacred Liturgy were performed by the priests, and, in the chantry chapels,1 Masses were offered up for the repose of the souls of the founders of the chantry and of their families. It was in 1534 that, for those who wished to remain Catholics, the conflict began between loyalty to the Sovereign and fidelity to religious beliefs. All the priests in Burnley took the oath of allegiance to Henry VIII as "Supreme Head of the Church" and the majority of laymen accepted the new system.

Hurren School of Historical Studies University of Leicester Leicester, UK Sarah Tarlow History and Archaeology University of Leicester Leicester, UK This limited, fnite series is based on the substantive outputs from a major, multi-disciplinary research project funded by the Wellcome Trust, investigating the meanings, treatment, and uses of the criminal corpse in Britain. It is a vehicle for methodological and substantive advances in approaches to the wider history of the body. Focussing on the period between the late seventeenth and the mid-nineteenth centuries as a cru- cial period in the formation and transformation of beliefs about the body, the series explores how the criminal body had a prominent presence in popular culture as well as science, civic life and medico-legal activity. It is historically signifcant as the site of overlapping and sometimes contradic- tory understandings between scientifc anatomy, criminal justice, popular medicine, and social geography.

  • FAMILY RECOLLECTIONS My Memoirs by Kathleen De Beaumont [Unpublished Written Ca
    FAMILY RECOLLECTIONS My Memoirs by Kathleen de Beaumont [unpublished written ca. 1964] I have been asked to write these memoirs by my children and by my dear Cousin Priscilla, * Lady Norman. I am very conscious of the defects in their presentation, but I have tried to put down things that have remained as salient memories in my long life and their connection with my dear parents, and especially with my beloved husband. [* My mother’s eldest sister, Caroline, married the 7th Earl of Abingdon and in 1923 her daughter ‘Joey’ inherited part of the Towneley estate from her first cousin, Cosmo Gordon Lennox, only child of Lord Alexander Gordon Lennox and his wife Emily (my mother’s sister). In due course, Priscilla (Lady Alice’s daughter by her second marriage) inherited the Worsthorne portion of the Towneley estate from her mother who, in turn, passed the property over to her son Simon. It was only at the memorial service for my brother Maurice, Lord O’Hagan at St. James’s, Piccadilly on 21st February 1962, that Priscilla and I met for the first time in our lives which healed the sad breach between our families which had endured since our secession from the Church of Rome. ] I was born in 1876 at 19 Chesham Place, London, the eldest child of Lord and Lady O’Hagan, My two brothers, Thomas Towneley and Maurice Herbert Towneley and my sister, Mary Caroline, were also born there. Thomas became the second Baron — he died in South Africa in 1900 of enteric fever and my second brother, Maurice Herbert, succeeded him as Lord O’Hagan.

  • The North-West
    The North-West The North West of England is an area rich in Jacobite legacy for two reasons. Firstly, a number of prominent Jacobite families lived in the region. This accounts for the excellent Jacobite collections at Sizergh Castle and Stonyhurst College, as well as very good Jacobite collections at Levens Hall, Browsholme Hall, Lyme Park and elsewhere. Secondly, two Jacobite armies passed through the region. In 1715 the Jacobite army led by Thomas Forster MP marched down from the Scottish border to Preston in Lancashire. In 1745, Prince Charles Edward Stuart’s Jacobite army marched down from Scotland through the north-western counties - Cumberland, Westmorland, Lancashire and Cheshire - on its way to Derby, and then retreated through the same counties. Both armies were joined by some Englishmen men from the North-West after they arrived in the region. These military incursions and risings resulted in a number of military engagements, outlined below, and also some good modern day exhibitions in museums in the region, including the Harris Museum in Preston and Tullie House in Carlisle. Brampton, Cumbria Prince Charles Edward Stuart’s Jacobite army stayed in Brampton in mid-November 1745, on its way to Carlisle. At least two sites survive with direct Jacobite links. The Prince stayed in a house on High Cross Street, in the centre of the town. It became known as 'Prince Charlie's House' and it is now a shoe shop. There is a small plaque on the wall commemorating the Prince’s stay. It was in this house that he received the surrender of and the keys to the city of Carlisle, presented to him by the aldermen of the city.

  • Tracing the Towneleys 2004
    Tracing the Towneleys 2004 In the Towneley Room of the museum at Towneley Hall is the family tree of the family who once lived there. Many visitors to the museum ask for more information about the family history and some can even show their own ancestral links with early members of the Towneley family. The guide Tracing the Towneleys was compiled in 2000 in response to their requests. Many descendants of the family have had a strong interest in genealogy but few more so than Christopher Towneley (1604-1674) and this update in 2004 celebrates his 400th birthday. Among the new material are extracts from Christopher's evidences for proving the pedigree of the Towneleys of Towneley, which he wrote in 1662. This manuscript only returned on loan to Towneley in June 2003 after a period of more than 100 years away. There is also a new section on the Claimants. The creation of the National Archives A2A database has provided a major new resource since 2000 and a short description of what it can offer rounds off the section Other Townleys. Preface - web version This new edition of Tracing the Towneleys differs from the previous version in three main ways. Firstly, it has been produced primarily as a PDF file for free distribution on the internet. When the previous version was written in 2000, a PDF file was only created later as an after-thought. Secondly, there is much more about early members of the family born before 1604. Thirdly, the pedigree of the Towneleys of Towneley has been simplified and no longer repeats the legends believed by 19th century antiquarians.

AND JEAN GORDON ARNOT VOLUME I Printed at the University Press by T. and A. Constable Ltd. for the Scottish History Society 1928 Printed in Great Britain INTRODUCTION The field of Jacobite research has been so thoroughly- examined by successive generations of enquirers that it might well appear that nothing worthy of further study remained for investigation. There are, however, two aspects of the campaign of 1745-6 which have not yet been dealt with comprehensively—the purely military and the personal. Both of these are, of course, referred to in every work dealing with the adventure of Prince Charles Edward ; but, as regards the first, it is obvious that the ordinary historian is not sufficiently acquainted with military opera- tions from the tactical or strategical point of view, to write a technically accurate account of the campaign, free from political or racial bias; and, as regards the second, historians and students alike have confined themselves almost entirely to the part played by the limited class who were responsible for the policy of the attempt, or by the rather larger class who, while not concerned with such policy, were the actual leaders of the expeditionary force.
