Full name (surname first): Gill, Sylvia May School/Department: School of History and Cultures/Modern History Full title of thesis/dissertation: Managing Change in The English Reformation: The 1548 Dissolution of the Chantries and Clergy of the Midland County Surveys Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Date of submission: March 2010 Date of award of degree (leave blank): Abstract (not to exceed 200 words - any continuation sheets must contain the author's full name and full title of the thesis/dissertation): The English Reformation was undeniably a period of change; this thesis seeks to consider how that change was managed by those who were responsible for its realisation and by individuals it affected directly, principally during the reign of Edward VI. It also considers how the methodology adopted contributes to the historiography of the period and where else it might be applied. Central to this study is the 1548 Dissolution of the Chantries, the related activities of the Court of Augmentations and the careers of clerics from five Midland counties for whom this meant lost employment. In addition to the quantitative analysis of original documentation from the Court, counties and dioceses, the modern understanding of change management for organisations and individuals has been drawn upon to extrapolate and consider further the Reformation experience. The conclusions show how clerical lives and careers were or were not continued, while emphasising that continuation requires an enabling psychological management of change which must not be overlooked. The evidence for the state demonstrates that its realisation of its immediate aims contained enough of formal change management requirements for success, up to a point, while adding to the longer-term formation of the state in ways unimagined. Abstract and Access form Library Services May 2009 For my Mother, Claire and Max Acknowledgements Where to start with acknowledgements? Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor Professor Alec Ryrie for his help and advice which has been invaluable, and his patience which has been admirable; he has done his best with me, I take responsibility for all else. Secondly, I would like to thank Professor Robert Swanson who introduced me to the Chantry Surveys when I was working for my MA; to him must go the ‘blame’ for both my MA dissertation and this thesis but it is an introduction I am pleased to have had. I must also thank Dr Peter Cunich of the University of Hong Kong who, early in my research, provided valuable guidance on material in the National Archives. Like many researchers past and present, I have had help and assistance from archive staff in a number of locations and would like to thank those at the National Archives in Kew and the local record offices of Gloucester, Hereford, Lichfield, Warwick and Worcester and Hereford Cathedral Archives. In addition, thanks go to staff in the University of Birmingham’s Main Library, in Special Collections and The Shakespeare Institute for their help and guidance. Administration staff in the College of Arts and Law also deserve acknowledgement and I would like particularly to thank Sue Bowen, Heather Cullen and Julie Tonks. This period of study has been my third at the University of Birmingham and, as ever with an undertaking such as this, it is the people you meet along the way who enrich the whole experience. I am grateful for the support I have received from my colleagues in the School of History and Cultures Postgraduate Forum and have enjoyed and profited from the discussions we have had and the experience of hosting our three one-day conferences. Amongst the friends I have made at Birmingham I would particularly like to thank Dr Richard Churchley, Margaret Cooper, Dr Anna French, Vicky Henshaw, Kate Lack, Denise Thomas, Dr Matt Edwards, Dr Katie Wright and Dr Neil Younger. To these I would also add Professor Richard Cust, Dr Elaine Fulton (both of Birmingham), Dr Graeme Murdock, (formerly of Birmingham now at Trinity College, Dublin) and especially Dr Alison Dalton, of Exeter College, University of Oxford, for her friendship, encouragement and conversations about ‘priests we have known’! I would also like to acknowledge two people who have provided encouragement at different points in my academic career: my former history teacher Gavin Goulson and Fred Bridges, glass technologist and friend, whose comment was always, ‘so, what’s next’? Finally, to the people to whom this thesis is dedicated; my late mother who I wish could have stayed a little longer, to my daughter Claire for her support and ‘mentoring’, and my grandson Max, who has inherited the history ‘gene’, long may he enjoy it.

  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

  • Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549
    “JUST AS THE PRIESTS HAVE THEIR WIVES”: PRIESTS AND CONCUBINES IN ENGLAND, 1375-1549 Janelle Werner A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Judith M. Bennett Reader: Professor Stanley Chojnacki Reader: Professor Barbara J. Harris Reader: Cynthia B. Herrup Reader: Brett Whalen © 2009 Janelle Werner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JANELLE WERNER: “Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549 (Under the direction of Judith M. Bennett) This project – the first in-depth analysis of clerical concubinage in medieval England – examines cultural perceptions of clerical sexual misbehavior as well as the lived experiences of priests, concubines, and their children. Although much has been written on the imposition of priestly celibacy during the Gregorian Reform and on its rejection during the Reformation, the history of clerical concubinage between these two watersheds has remained largely unstudied. My analysis is based primarily on archival records from Hereford, a diocese in the West Midlands that incorporated both English- and Welsh-speaking parishes and combines the quantitative analysis of documentary evidence with a close reading of pastoral and popular literature. Drawing on an episcopal visitation from 1397, the act books of the consistory court, and bishops’ registers, I argue that clerical concubinage occurred as frequently in England as elsewhere in late medieval Europe and that priests and their concubines were, to some extent, socially and culturally accepted in late medieval England.

  • The Archdeacon's Visitation and Admission of Churchwardens 2021
    The Archdeacon’s Visitation and Admission of Churchwardens 2021 Welcome God of power, through your Spirit you promote peace and reconciliation, partnership and encouragement. May the boldness of your Spirit transform us, the gentleness of your Spirit lead us, the gifts of your Spirit equip us, to serve and worship you now and always. Amen. Bible Reading The Archdeacon’s Charge The Archdeacon addresses the Churchwardens Do you believe that God has called you to serve as Churchwarden of your parish? I believe that God has called me. Will you trust in God for strength to fulfil the task to which he has called you? With the help of God, I will. Will you give yourself in love to serve the people of your parish, the members of your congregation and the Bishop of Peterborough? With the help of God, I will. Churchwardens are officers of the Bishop and lay leaders of the parish. Your role, by Canon Law, is to be foremost in representing the laity and in co-operating with the incumbent; by example and precept to encourage parishioners in the practice of true religion; and to promote peace and unity among them. With the help of God, and in collaboration with all the baptised, you are called to holiness of life, to be persons of integrity, recognising your accountability for the tasks entrusted to you. I therefore ask you to make your declaration, before God and his Church. Churchwardens I do solemnly and sincerely declare before God and his people that I will faithfully and diligently discharge the duties of my office as Churchwarden to the parish in which I have been duly elected, calling at all times on the strength that God gives me.

  • THE REFORMATION in LEICESTER and LEICESTERSHIRE, C.1480–1590 Eleanor Hall
    THE REFORMATION IN LEICESTER AND LEICESTERSHIRE, c.1480–1590 Eleanor Hall Since its arrival in England, never did Christianity undergo such a transformation as that of the Reformation. By the end of the sixteenth century the official presence of Catholicism had almost entirely disappeared in favour of Protestantism, the permanent establishment of which is still the institutional state religion. This transformation, instigated and imposed on the population by a political elite, had a massive impact on the lives of those who endured it. In fact, the progression of these religious developments depended on the compliance of the English people, which in some regions was often absent. Indeed, consideration must be given to the impact of the Reformation on these localities and social groups, in which conservatism and nostalgia for the traditional faith remained strong. In spite of this, the gradual acceptance of Protestantism by the majority over time allowed its imposition and the permanent establishment of the Church of England. Leicestershire is a county in which significant changes took place. This paper examines these changes and their impact on, and gradual acceptance by, the various religious orders, secular clergy, and the laity in the town and county. Important time and geographical comparisons will be drawn in consideration of the overall impact of the Reformation, and the extent to which both clergy and laity conformed to the religious changes imposed on them, and managed to retain their religious devotion in the process. INTRODUCTION The English Reformation is one of the periods in history that attracts a high level of interest and debate.

  • Our Spirit of Place
    OUR SPIRIT OF PLACE EMMANUEL COLLEGE EMMANUEL I OUR SPIRIT OF PLACE Emmanuel’s Conservation Statement Emmanuel’s conservation statement is an overall assessment of the history and significance of the buildings, landscapes, grounds and setting of the College. The statement helps us bring together a shared understanding of the significance of our buildings, grounds and views into, out of and within the College, with the way we care for them and think about Emmanuel’s future development. However it is much more than a simple assessment of our buildings and grounds. Ours is a ‘Spirit of Place’ statement: it looks at the significance of the buildings and environment in the context of the College’s shared values. It is concerned with how these moulded Emmanuel’s past, what makes Emmanuel what it is today, including the things we all cherish, and how, together, all these considerations will shape our future. The statement was written by Oliver Caroe and Jeremy Musson of Cambridge Architectural Research Limited, two renowned experts in their field. They consulted widely within the College community, ensuring that Fellows, students and Emma Members all contributed to the process. Local planning officers and Historic England have also seen the statement and endorsed it. The cost was met by some very generous donations from Emma Members. Characterising Emmanuel Emmanuel College is located in the heart of the modern city of Cambridge, but historically was on the edge of the city ‘beyond the Barnwell Gate’. The College’s history is layered, because its foundation in 1584 by Sir Walter Mildmay, Chancellor of the Exchequer to Elizabeth I as a college to train puritan preachers, was aided by partly re-using a number of much older buildings that had belonged to Cambridge’s Dominican Priory, dissolved in 1538 by Henry VIII.
