  • Cemetery Records
    RESEARCH GUIDE Cemetery Records Research Guide 5: Cemetery Records CONTENTS Introduction Main cemetery records held at LMA Bunhill Fields (CLC/271) New Bunhill Fields, Islington (B/NBF) The City of London Cemetery, Little Ilford (CLA/052) The City of London and Tower Hamlets Cemetery (CTHC) Other cemetery records at LMA Indexes and Transcripts in the LMA Library Records held elsewhere Introduction Before the mid-19th century most burials in London took place in churchyards and from the mid-16th century were recorded in parish registers. Some hospitals and other institutions had their own burial grounds. From the time of the Black Death special burial grounds outside the City walls were provided for people who died from the periodic epidemics of plague which afflicted London. Land to the north of the Artillery Ground known as Bunhill Fields was set aside in 1665 as a plague burial ground, but was not used for this purpose. It then became a burial ground for nonconformists. After 1690 many nonconformist meeting houses and chapels were established in London some of which had their own burial grounds. By the late 18th century the London churchyards were becoming overcrowded. New cemeteries were established as private speculations generally offering slightly lower charges for burials than the churchyards. Some of these burial grounds were originally connected to chapels adjoining them, but were subsequently bought by private individuals. By 1835 there were at least fourteen such burial grounds in London including Spa Fields, Clerkenwell, opposite London Metropolitan Archives (LMA) where about 80, 000 people were buried. An enquiry in 1843 discovered that about 40 burials were taking place each day.

    EDITORIAL E have before commented enviously on the freedom with which American scholars can pursue their researches-not: W a complete freedom, because America is more and more in the war, and such Libraries as the Folger in Washington, and the Huntington in California, have sent their books and manuscripts to safer places.-surely an excess of caution! And what a pleasure it is nowadays to handle a book on white paper, with good print and wide margins, and free from all suggestions of overcrowding. Such a one is Dr. W. K. Jordan's Men of Substance {Chicago and Cam­ bridge Univ. Presses, 18s.), which is reviewed in the Congregational Quarterly, January, 1944. Those who have used Dr. Jordan's four volumes on toleration will open this account of two Parliamentarian supporters, Henry Parker and Henry Robinson, with eagerness, and they will not be disappointed. Too often does Cromwell's greatness obscure the service rendered by smaller men; here are two civil servants, not working silently, for they were prolific pamphleteers, but working efficiently, with clear heads and bright ideas. We mention the book here, partly in order that our readers may not overlook it, and partly in order to emphasize a point, well made by Dr. Jordan, which conveys a much-needed warning to students. There has been a tendency, especially since the modern stress on economics was read back into the 17th century, to discuss minor movements and extreme elements at the expense of more solid and less vocal ones. But Dr. Jordan puts it so well that we cannot do better than quote his words: The historian, unable completely to divest himself of modern preoccupations and preconceptions, is perplexed by the essen­ tially conservative nature of the English Revolution.

  • The Evolution of George Hakewill's Apologie Or
    The Evolution of George Hakewill’s Apologie or Declaration of the Power and Providence of God, 1627-1637: Academic Contexts, and Some New Angles from Manuscripts William Poole George Hakewill’s An Apologie of the Power and Providence of God in the Government of the World stands in the first rank of philosophical and literary achievement in the early Caroline period. Hakewill first published his long text in 1627, but soon released a slightly expanded edition in 1630 and a greatly expanded one in 1635, adding or Declaration after An Apologie to the title of both new editions. (The revision in the title partially shifts the generic claim from apologia, literally a speech in defence, towards the more affirmative declaratio or declaration.) The first edition was printed by John Lichfield and William Turner, printers to the University of Oxford, and Turner printed the second and third editions too, to be sold by Robert Allott in London. Hakewill’s great work was therefore very much an Oxford publication, and he included in his later editions many testimonials from prominent Oxford academicians. The work grew by accretion from around 500 pages in 1627 to over 1000 in 1635. Discussions of The Apologie have always treated it as a solely vernacular and printed phenomenon, a text in the vein of Robert Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy (1621), and a prompt for Sir Thomas Browne’s Pseudodoxia Epidemica (1646). All three texts, we may note, went through many authorial revisions. Hakewill proposed that in both the natural and human realms the world underwent cycles of decline and increase, and that therefore modern scholars and writers should not feel necessarily inferior to their ancient forbears.
