    942 ECCLESIASTICAL DILAPIDATIONS J8cclestae tical 'IDUapibattons. Bv J. S. BLAKE REED. HE RE is, in some respects, an analogy discoverable T between the holding that a parochial incumbent enjoys in respect of the freehold which vests in him by virtue of his office, and the positior. which is occupied by a tenant for life at common law. Both are, as it were, only partial owners of the property they enjoy, being in a large measure trustees for posterity or for the official successor who is to follow them in the enjoyment of their estates. Thus, as in the case of a tenant for life, the holder of an ecclesiastical benefice is not allowed by the law to effect such a diminution of the value of his premises as would amount to either voluntary or permissive waste. The former is committed by active destruction, such as the felling of timber, while the latter consists in such passive acts of negli­ gence as suffering fences to fall into decay for lack of repair, or allowing houses or outbuildings to become ruinous by reason of neglect. Both forms of waste, though distinguished by the common lawyer, are equally included in the ecclesiastical law under the general name of dilapidatiop.s. The subject has been extensively dealt with by ecclesiastical legislation for centuries past, and the present position of the law is one of paramount importance for all holders of country livings. Sir Simon Degge, in his "Parson's Counsellor," includes under dilapidations "the pulling down or destroying in any manner any of the houses or buildings belonging to a spiritual living, or suffering them to run into ruin or decay ; or wasting or destroying the woods of the Church; or committing or suffering any wilful waste in or upon the inheritance of the Church." Whether at common law or before the Ecclesiastical Courts, waste was always very seriously regarded.

  • Little Sodbury Draft Version 1
    VCH Gloucestershire 14, Little Sodbury Draft Version 1 Little Sodbury Little Sodbury is a small rural parish which lies 36 km. (22 miles) south of Gloucester and 19 km. (12 miles) north-east of Bristol. As with its larger neighbour to the south, the landscape is heavily defined by the Cotswold Edge, which runs from north to south through the centre of the parish. The eastern half of the parish, lying above the escarpment, comprises rich arable land, in contrast with the low-lying pastoral landscape of the western half of the parish. The prehistoric hill fort which gives the Sodburys their name lies across the parish boundary with Old Sodbury, overlooking the substantial medieval manor house further down the escarpment. The ancient route called the Port Way, which follows the line of the Cotswold Edge, has carried traffic across the parish since prehistoric times. Despite its proximity to Chipping Sodbury and Yate, which have greatly expanded in the late 20th century, Little Sodbury remains entirely rural in character. Landscape, Settlement and Buildings Boundaries The ancient parish of Little Sodbury was estimated by Rudge to measure 900 a. in 1803,1 but the tithe commissioners found that the parish comprised 1,074 a. in 1839.2 In 1903 the parish was found to measure 1,093 a.3 The parish boundaries were depicted on the tithe award map of 1839,4 and by the Ordnance Survey in 1886.5 For much of their length the boundaries are defined by long established hedges that once separated the open fields and commons of the neighbouring parishes.

  • The Activity and Influence of the Established Church in England, C. 1800-1837
    The Activity and Influence of the Established Church in England, c. 1800-1837 Nicholas Andrew Dixon Pembroke College, Cambridge This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. November 2018 Declaration This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. It is not substantially the same as any that I have submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for a degree or diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. I further state that no substantial part of my dissertation has already been submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for any such degree, diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. It does not exceed the prescribed word limit for the relevant Degree Committee. Nicholas Dixon November 2018 ii Thesis Summary The Activity and Influence of the Established Church in England, c. 1800-1837 Nicholas Andrew Dixon Pembroke College, Cambridge This thesis examines the various ways in which the Church of England engaged with English politics and society from c. 1800 to 1837. Assessments of the early nineteenth-century Church of England remain coloured by a critique originating in radical anti-clerical polemics of the period and reinforced by the writings of the Tractarians and Élie Halévy. It is often assumed that, in consequence of social and political change, the influence of a complacent and reactionary church was irreparably eroded by 1830.

  • The Anglican Diocese of Dunedin, 1852-1919
    The Anglican Diocese of Dunedin, 1852-1919 By the Revd Michael Blain The biographies of all the Anglican priests who served in the South Pacific form the basis for this introduction to the early life of the Anglican diocese of Dunedin. The Blain Biographical Directory may be found at http://anglicanhistory.org/nz/blain_directory/directory.pdf 1852 marks the licensing of John Fenton the first Anglican priest with pastoral responsibilities in the new town of Dunedin. 1919 marks the retirement of the first bishop of Dunedin, Samuel Tarratt Nevill. Between these two dates some 200 clergy came and went from Otago and Southland, the region served now by the Anglican diocese of Dunedin. All of them here receive attentive research. They prove to be a fascinating group of people, whose backgrounds, careers, and connections offer a unique insight into colonial Otago. George Augustus Selwyn, the bishop of New Zealand (from his appointment on 10 October 1841 to his resignation in May 1869) was the epitome of a missionary—going everywhere fast, staying nowhere long in his efforts to reach everyone in every place. He met the leading colonists and church members in Dunedin in 1848, but had no priest to offer them until after the two dozen ships and chaplains of the Canterbury Association had arrived two years later in Canterbury. From the beginning of January 1852 John Albert Fenton, one of the more able of these Canterbury Association priests (and with finances of his own to keep him afloat), was licensed as resident priest for the whole Otago settlement.

  • Tithing Customs and Disputes: the Evidence of Glebe Terriers, 1698-I 85O
    Tithing Customs and Disputes: the Evidence of Glebe Terriers, 1698-I 85o By E. J. EVANS "I certainly think that the institution of tithe, especially if rigorously enforced, is everywhere a great obstacle to the improvement and prosperity of any country... I believe too that it is as much for the real interest of the Church as for the land to adopt, if practicable, some other mode of provision."--William Pitt I "I am confident that I am defrauded by many of my parishioners of various vicarial dues and rights to which the laws of Heaven and earth entitle me... for the very word 'tithe' has ever been as unpleasing and odious, to farmers especially, as cuckoo to the married ear. Those who pay them, pay them very partially and I may say, grudgingly and of necessity."--Rev. William Jones, Vicar of Broxbourne and Hoddesdon, Herts. 2 N the last century and a half of its existence in its old form, the tithe system was at once uniquely unpopular and inefficient, a Landowners and tenants I alike had, of course, always objected to providing the tithe owner, whether a layman or a cleric, with a tenth of the produce of their land; but the develop- i ments of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries made the tithe owner's demands doubly onerous. Agricultural improvements bringing increased yields meant in their turn an increased return for the tithe owner, without the latter having had to bear any of the expenses of improvement. Thomas Thomp- son was one of many to voice the frustration of the agricultural interest when ,! he asked: "Is it equitable that, whenever I work for myself, I should be com- pelled to work for another person also? ''4 Adam Smith pointed out that the I poorer lands were harder hit by the impost because of the higher capital outlay necessary to improve them, ~ while the researches of Arthur Young and the Board of Agriculture were not slow to bring to light numerous cases of lands left barren because the burden of tithe, after heavy initial improvement ex- penditure, would not bring the improver any real return for his outlay.

VICAR VICTORIA: WRITING THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY FICTION A Dissertation Presented for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree The University of Mississippi Rachel Elizabeth Cason May 2019 Copyright © 2019 by Rachel Elizabeth Cason All rights reserved ABSTRACT Vicar Victoria: Writing the Church of England in Nineteenth-Century Fiction shows how the organizing force of the Anglican Church and the figure of the Anglican clergyman were used to interrogate social, legal, and historical developments in nineteenth-century fiction. The project outlines how authors reacted to events such as Pluralism reform, the opening of training schools for clergy, and the Oxford Movement. There was a growing importance of institutions (including new physical buildings and Anglican reform movements). Further, the clergy, pushed by the increased expectation to modernize and professionalize, became a specialist career, with raised training and performance requirements. As a result of these internal changes, we find the Anglican Church establishment in a state of flux across the nineteenth century: working to adapt itself to a new normal where Anglicanism as the dominant organizing force in people's lives could no longer be taken for granted.

  • Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican Clergy in the Diocese of Honolulu 1862-1902
    Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican clergy in the Diocese of Honolulu 1862-1902 The ‘Reformed Catholic Church of Hawai’i’ began with the consecration of the first bishop of Honolulu, Thomas Nettleship STALEY in 1861. In 1872 the diocese became the Anglican church of Hawai’i, under his successor Alfred WILLIS the second bishop of Honolulu. On WILLIS’s resignation in 1902, the see became a missionary district within the Episcopal Church of the United States of America, and in 1969 the diocese of Hawai'i. This biographical directory lists over 50 clergy who passed through Honolulu in the first forty years of Anglican church life. Few priests were in the diocese of Honolulu more than a year or two. Many biographies reveal visionary hopes and bitter disappointments. Several lives are shadowy to the point of invisibility. At the end of the sections in the biographies, bracketed numbers indicate the sources of preceding information. The Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican Clergy in the South Pacific (which includes some 1,650 priests) may be found on the Kinder library website, in Auckland New Zealand. These bracketed numbers are there given bibliographical substance in a document accompanying the biographical directory. The compiler points out that this directory has been researched and compiled without funding. I am very grateful to the hundreds of correspondents and agencies who have voluntarily assisted me on this work since the early 1990s. The compiler welcomes corrections and additions sent to [email protected]. Such will be incorporated in the master-copy held in Wellington New Zealand, and in due course in the online version of this directory with Project Canterbury.

  • The Church of England 1640-1662
    I4 THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND, 1640-1662 THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND 1640-1662. BY THE REV. HAROLD SMITH, D.D. BOUT 1655 Thomas Fuller, then Perpetual Curate of Waltham Abbey, thus introduced his Church History of Britain: " An A I ingenious gentleman, some months since, in jest-earnest, advised me to make haste with my History of the Church of England; for fear, said he, lest the Church of England be ended before the History thereof. This History is now, though late (all Church-work is slow) brought with much difficulty to an end. And, blessed be God, the Church of England is still (and long may it be) in being, though disturbed, distempered, distracted. God help and heal her most sad condition." There is much misapprehension about the condition of the Church during this period. There is a widespread view ihat all the epis­ copal clergy were ejected, and Presbyterians and Independents, often of no education, put in their place. Also the extent of the spoliation of church property is often exaggerated. Again, the dis­ tinction of the ground of ejection of the ministers deprived in 166o from that of those deprived in 1662 is commonly ignored, both by Churchmen and Nonconformists, the former regarding both sets as alike intruders, while the latter often consider both to have lost their livings for conscience' sake. Actually, those ejected in 1660 were all in some degree intruders and ejected simply as such; those ejected in 1662 were not intruders, but as legally appointed to their livings as those who conformed. The standard book on the subject is Shaw, The English Church under .the Long Parliament and Commonwealth.
