  • Baptist History First Sermon at Somersham Baptist Church Coxe
    Baptist History http://www.baptisthistory.org.uk/basicpage.php? contents=home&page_title=Home%20Page First sermon at Somersham Baptist Church Mr Fuller, of Kettering, preached an excellent sermon at Bluntisham the preceding evening, and the next morning a very encouraging one at Somersham, from Zech. iv. 10, 'Who hath despised the day of small things ? ' The congregation was so large in the afternoon, that it was thought expedient to have the service in a close. Mr Ragsdell, of Thrapston, preached from Matt. vi. 10, ' Thy Kingdom come.' The sermon in the evening was by Mr Edmonds, of Cambridge, from Psalm Ixxiv. 21, ' Arise, God, plead thine own cause.'" Coxe Feary and the awakening in Bluntisham FROM "A CLOUD OF WITNESSES" BY MICHAEL HAYKIN IN THE EVANGELICAL TIMES ONLINE; MARCH 2002 REPRODUCED WITH PERMISSION Coxe Feary (1759-1822) sustained a long pastorate in the village of Bluntisham, about fifteen miles north of Cambridge, England. He was raised in the Church of England, but during his teens became dissatisfied with the irreligious conduct of worshippers at the parish church. He considered attending a Baptist church in a nearby village — perhaps the work at Needingworth, which had been founded in 1767. But he found the church consisted of ‘narrow-minded’ hyper-Calvinists, who pronounced ‘destruction on all who did not believe their creed’. For a while he attended a Quaker congregation in Earith, another nearby village, because their views accorded with his belief in the freedom of the human will and the saving merit of good works. CONVERSION In 1780 he read James Hervey’s Theron and Aspasio (1755), a massive defence of Calvinism.

  • 1 Territory Formation in Anglo-Saxon England
    1 TERRITORY FORMATION IN ANGLO-SAXON ENGLAND: NAMES, PLACES AND DISTRICTS* Stuart Brookes (Institute of Archaeology. University College of London) INTRODUCTION Domesday Book -the Great Survey of England and parts of Wales completed under William the Conqueror in AD 1086- lists a number of different types of territories that made up the Late Anglo-Saxon state. While ostensibly describing a hierarchy of administrative structures that existed by this time, from large-scale jurisdictions covering entire regions down to very small legal groupings (in some cases comprising only two or three parishes), this paper will argue that Domesday Book can also be read as evidence for the processes by which these territories came about. Some of these processes appear to have taken a long time, others may have occurred only shortly before Domesday Book was compiled, and there is great regional variability in their manifestations. Unpicking this palimpsest is, accordingly, very difficult, and no single model can be universally applied to explain every situation. So, I will restrict myself in this paper to describing only two of the processes that can be gleaned from the evidence. One is known as the “river and wold” model, espoused, amongst others, by Alan Everitt and Tom Williamson, and is in essence a cultural ecological approach to territory formation1. The other comes from James Scott’s ideas about the legibility of the state: that the metrication, measurement and rationalisation of space are one of the ways by which states come to dominate subjects2. This phenomenon is, I will suggest, particularly common as an outcome of “peer- polity competition” -which itself has been widely used to describe the processes of kingdom formation in England taking place in the fifth to seventh centuries3.
