Reflecting on the process now, as it nears its end, it is abundantly clear how much writing a dissertation is a team sport. None of this could have been accomplished without Dr. Thomas Cogswell, who patiently guided me through this process from start to finish. If the reader finds any part of this dissertation engaging, it is almost certainly the result of Tom’s ear for a good story, and his never-ending drive to see that story completely extracted from the source material. I owe Dr. Randolph Head a significant debt, not only for his support of this project, but also for modeling the kind of diligence and rigor that makes academic research possible. I must thank Dr. Malcolm Baker for helping me to see structure and space as primary sources, and to Dr. Kristoffer Neville, for teaching me to engage with these sources. I cannot forget to thank Professor Jonathan Eacott who provided some much need last minute support for this project. Thanks are also due to Dr. Robert Ingram who has grown from a no-nonsense advisor into a wonderful friend. I am indebted to both the University of California, Riverside’s History Department, and to its Graduate Division, for their generous financial and administrative support. In particular, I would like to thank Susan Komura, Iselda Salgado, and Deisy Escobedo, whose help brought order to an otherwise chaotic experience. Perhaps the most exciting part of working on a dissertation is the opportunity reach beyond the walls of one’s home institution, and explore the scholarly world. The staff at the Huntington Library, especially Dr. Steve Hindle, provided support for this project when it was needed most. Furthermore, Sue Hodson and Mary Robertson helped me overcome iv a deep anxiety about the complexities of archival research, and the hours spent in their Paleography Seminar are among my happiest memories. The Huntington Library, through their Linacre College, Oxford University Exchange Fellowship, allowed me to undertake research abroad – and more importantly, introduced me to Dr. Paul Slack, who was a fantastic guide to an academic world like no other. The staff at the London Metropolitan Archives were remarkably welcoming and helpful, as were the archivists at the Guildhall Library – even as their archives were flooding. Despite the excitement of academic travel my most significant debts are owed to people closer to home. The graduate student community at the University of California, Riverside is one of the most dynamic and welcoming academic communities I have ever come across. I need to thank specifically Leanna McLaughlin, Jordan Downs, Jillian Azevedo, Daniel Razzari, and Patrick O’Neill, for fostering a sense of comradery both in the classroom and, more importantly, outside of it. I must also thank Jens Andersen, Ian Fiedler, and Matt Ream for reminding me – across continents and oceans – how important non-academic revelry can be. Thanks are due to my Mom and Dad, to whom this dissertation is dedicated, for always patiently and generously allowing me to pursue even my most unusual interests. Lastly, thank you to Anna Dodge. Thank you for tolerating six years apart while I pursued this degree. Thank you for reading so much academic prose when you were busy with your own graduate work. Thank you for welcoming nearly five-hundred thousand Londoners into your life and managing them with a deftness that would make Sir Christopher Wren envious. Thank you for this and so much more. v DEDICATION To Mom and Dad, For all of their support and encouragement. vi ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Parish Exposed: London Parish Life and the Great Fire of London by Stephen Arthur Teske Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in History University of California, Riverside, March, 2015 Dr. Thomas Cogswell, Chairperson This dissertation examines the reconstruction of the fifty-one parish churches in the city of London after the Great Fire of 1666. It is not primarily focused on the architectural elements of the rebuilt churches or the role played by Sir Christopher Wren, Surveyor of the King's Works, in their reconstruction. Instead this dissertation explores the reconstruction of London's parish churches as an effort by neighborhood communities to recover after an unprecedented disaster. The parish church was not simply a physical manifestation of local identity or a focus for neighborhood pride. These churches transcended their most basic function as a site for religious worship - they served as the central location for myriad political, economic and social functions essential to a parish community. Given the centrality of a church to nearly every aspect of life in a city parish, it is unsurprising how aggressively London's parishes attempted to direct the reconstruction of their churches and the reconstitution of their parish communities – through both legal and extra-legal means. This struggle to preserve these centuries-old urban communities was particularity important for those parishes whose churches were eliminated after the fire – a loss that could leave these now homeless parishes at the mercy of less than vii accommodating neighbors. Ultimately this dissertation will reveal how active most Londoners were in the recovery of the city after the Great Fire, as well as how central the parish community was to the early modern English, even in a city as diverse, dynamic, and multifaceted as Restoration London. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgments.............................................................................................................. iv Dedication .......................................................................................................................... vi Abstract ............................................................................................................................. vii Table of Contents ............................................................................................................... ix List of Abbreviations......................................................................................................... xii List of Figures .................................................................................................................. xiii Part I: Before the Fire ..........................................................................................................1 Introduction: .........................................................................................................................2 Chapter 1: Our Goodly Metropolis ...................................................................................12 I.

  • St. Margaret's in Eastcheap
    ST. MARGARET'S IN EASTCHEAP NINE HUNDRED YEARS OF HISTORY A Lecture delivered to St. Margaret's Historical Society on January 6th, 1967 by Dr. Gordon Huelin "God that suiteth in Trinity, send us peace and unity". St. Margaret's In Eastcheap : Nine hundred years of History. During the first year of his reign, 1067, William the Conqueror gave to the abbot and church of St. Peter's, Westminster, the newly-built wooden chapel of St. Margaret in Eastcheap. It was, no doubt, with this in mind that someone caused to be set up over the door of St. Margaret Pattens the words “Founded 1067”. Yet, even though it seems to me to be going too far to claim that a church of St. Margaret's has stood upon this actual site for the last nine centuries, we in this place are certainly justified in giving' thanks in 1967 for the fact that for nine hundred years the faith has been preached and worship offered to God in a church in Eastcheap dedicated to St. Margaret of Antioch. In the year immediately following the Norman Conquest much was happening as regards English church life. One wishes that more might be known of that wooden chapel in Eastcheap, However, over a century was to elapse before even a glimpse is given of the London churches-and this only in general terms. In 1174, William Fitzstephen in his description of London wrote that “It is happy in the profession of the Christian religion”. As regards divine worship Fitzstephen speaks of one hundred and thirty-six parochial churches in the City and suburbs.

  • Sundials, Solar Rays, and St Paul's Cathedral
    Extract from: Babylonian London, Nimrod, and the Secret War Against God by Jeremy James, 2014. Sundials, Solar Rays, and St Paul's Cathedral Since London is a Solar City – with St Paul's Cathedral representing the "sun" – we should expect to find evidence of solar rays , the symbolic use of Asherim to depict the radiant, life-sustaining power of the sun. Such a feature would seem to be required by the Babylonian worldview, where Asherim are conceived as conduits of hidden power, visible portals through which the gods radiate their "beneficent" energies into the universe. The spires and towers of 46 churches are aligned with the center of the dome of St Paul's Cathedral, creating 23 "solar rays". I was already familiar with this idea from my research into the monuments of Dublin, where church steeples and other Asherim are aligned in radial fashion around the "sun," the huge modern obelisk known as the Millennium Spire. As it happens, a total of 23 "solar rays" pass through the center of the dome of St Paul's Cathedral, based on the alignment of churches alone . Thus, in the diagram above, two churches sit on each line. If other types of Asherim are included – such as obelisks, monoliths, columns and cemetery chapels – the number is substantially greater. [The 46 churches in question are listed in the table below .] 1 www.zephaniah.eu The churches comprising the 23 "rays" emanating from St Paul's Cathedral 1 St Stephen's, Westbourne Park St Paul's Cathedral St Michael's Cornhill 2 All Souls Langham Place St Paul's Cathedral St Paul's Shadwell

  • The Great Plague and the Great Fire
    The Great Plague and the Great Fire Transition from the Tudor times: The report is based upon the Great Plague, which is the height of a bad time for Britain after the good years of the Tudor time. In the year 1664, when the Great Plague began, King Charles II of England sat on the throne. The Great Plague went till 1666. Into this time 70.000 people died in London alone. The Great Fire stopped the plague and changed London. The Great Plague: In the winter of 1664 a Dutch ship brought the bacterium Yersinia pestis into London´s harbour. This winter was very cold, so that there was no dispersal for the bacteria. Only the poor workers in the harbour were hit by the plague. In comparison the spring and summer months were warm and the plague was spread fast. In July 1665 the plague caught the city of London and King Charles II of England and his family left London. Some of the richer people emulated King Charles II and left London, too. The shops were closed because of the small number of people who stayed in London. At first burials were carefully organized, but panic spread through London city and people were hastily buried in overcrowded pits. Cats and dogs were killed, but mostly the cats kept the population of rats down. Authorities ordered to the people to let the fire burn night and day, to clean the area. Substances, which gave off a strong smell like pepper, hops and incense, were burned by people in the hope of warding the infection off.
