  • Political Society in Cumberland and Westmorland 1471-1537
    Political Society in Cumberland and Westmorland 1471-1537 By Edward Purkiss, BA (Hons). Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. School of History and Classics University of Tasmania. 2008. This Thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright. 30 May, 2008. I place no restriction on the loan or reading of this thesis and no restriction, subject to the law of copyright, on its reproduction in any form. 11 Abstract The late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries have often been seen as a turning point in the development of the English state. At the beginning of the period the authority of the Crown was offset by powerful aristocratic interests in many regional areas. By the mid sixteenth century feudal relationships were giving way to a centrally controlled administration and government was reaching into regional political communities through direct connections between the Crown and local gentlemen. This thesis will trace these developments in Cumberland and Westmorland. It will argue that archaic aspects of government and society lingered longer here than in regions closer London. Feudal relationships were significant influences on regional political society well beyond the mid sixteenth century. This was a consequence of the area's distance from the centre of government and its proximity to a hostile enemy.

    The Church Bells of Cumberland by Rev. Henry Whitehead File 01 Containing: Bells ... of the Deanery of Brampton (1882) ... of the Border (1883) ... of Carlisle Cathedral (1883) ... of Cumberland Ward (1885 to 1886) This document is provided for you by The Whiting Society of Ringers visit www.whitingsociety.org.uk for the full range of publications and articles about bells and change ringing ( 41 7) ART. XLI.-Clmrch Bells in the Deaiiery of Brampton. By the Rev. H. WHITEHEAD, M.A. Co1mmmicated at Keswick, Oct. 5th, 1882. BEWCASTLE. N Cumberland, as a rule, though not without exceptions, I the nearer the border the fewer the church bells. The border parish of Bewcastle for an unknown length of time had no church bell. Bishop Nicolson, who visited this parish on July 30, 1703, states in his Miscellany Accounts of the Diocese of Carlile (p. 56) that he found " no Bell, to call them in to Divine Service." Some fifty years later, in a marginal note to the bishop's MS., on the page relating to Bewcastle, Chancellor Waugh says:- "Nor have they yet any Bell." The terrier of 1828 informs us when the want was supplied: "There is a good Church Bell, purchased by the parish about the year 1785. Prior to that time the Clrnrch had no bell." The same story is told, with a sequel, in the terrier of 1868: "A Church Bell was purchased by the parish about the year 1785, before which there appears to have been none. This bell was broken and a new one purchased by the paris h in 1845." The new bell, which is still in use, is blank, i.e., without inscription, date, stamp, or mark of any kind.
