    The Implementation and Impact of the Reformation in Shropshire, 1545-1575

    The Implementation and Impact of the Reformation in Shropshire, 1545-1575 Elizabeth Murray A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts United Faculty of Theology The Melbourne College of Divinity October, 2007 Abstract Most English Reformation studies have been about the far north or the wealthier south-east. The poorer areas of the midlands and west have been largely passed over as less well-documented and thus less interesting. This thesis studying the north of the county of Shropshire demonstrates that the generally accepted model of the change from Roman Catholic to English Reformed worship does not adequately describe the experience of parishioners in that county. Acknowledgements I am grateful to Dr Craig D’Alton for his constant support and guidance as my supervisor. Thanks to Dr Dolly Mackinnon for introducing me to historical soundscapes with enthusiasm. Thanks also to the members of the Medieval Early Modern History Cohort for acting as a sounding board for ideas and for their assistance in transcribing the manuscripts in palaeography workshops. I wish to acknowledge the valuable assistance of various Shropshire and Staffordshire clergy, the staff of the Lichfield Heritage Centre and Lichfield Cathedral for permission to photograph churches and church plate. Thanks also to the Victoria & Albert Museum for access to their textiles collection. The staff at the Shropshire Archives, Shrewsbury were very helpful, as were the staff of the State Library of Victoria who retrieved all the volumes of the Transactions of the Shropshire Archaeological Society. I very much appreciate the ongoing support and love of my family.

ISSN 0417 0687 125 A SHORT LIFE OF I. CHARLES COX (by Canon Maudce Abbott, Ince Blundell Hall, Back O'Th Town Lane, Liverpool, L38 5JL) First impressions stay with us, they say; and ever since my school days when my parents took me with them on their frequent visits to old churches, I have maintained a constant interest in them. This became a lifelong pursuit on my 20th birthday, when my father gave me a copy of The Parish Churches ot' England by J. Charles Cox and Charles Bradley Ford. In his preface, written in March 1935, Mr Ford pointed out that Dr Cox's English Parish Church was lirsl published in 1914, and was the recognised handbook on its subiect. In time the book became out of print and it was felt that a revised edition would be appropriate, because Cox was somewhat discutsive in his writrng. The text was pruned and space made for the inclusion of a chapter on'Local Varieties in Design'. This was based on Cox's original notes on the subject and other sources. I found this book quite fascinating and as the years went by I began to purchase second-hand copies of Cox's works and eventually wanted to know more about the man himself.

The interest with which I have read his pages will I am sure be shared by all who have at heart the well-being of an Institution which occupies a unique place in English history, although happily there is not anything unique nowadays in the endeavour which the Magdalen Hospital makes in face of a gigantic evil. The story Mr. Compston tells gives abundant evidence of the change for the better in public opinion regarding this crying wrong and its remedy. It shows too the growth of a sounder judg- ment as to the methods of dealing with it. For every reason it is right that this book should have been written, and Mr.

    Diocese of Lichfield

    DIOCESE OF LICHFIELD THE EUCHARIST WITH THE INAUGURATION OF A NEW MINISTRY The Institution by The Right Reverend Dr Michael Ipgrave Bishop of Lichfield and the Induction and Installation by The Venerable Paul Thomas Archdeacon of Salop of The Reverend Catherine Sarah McBride as Vicar of St Mary’s, Drayton-in-Hales St Mary’s Church, Market Drayton 22nd November 2017 7.00pm Welcome! This service is both a legal act and an act of worship. It marks the beginning of Catherine’s ministry here and a new stage in the life of this parish. As the mission and ministry of the Church is the responsibility of all baptised people, so we come together with Catherine and Bishop Michael to celebrate our ministry and offer ourselves afresh to God. The service has a number of distinct elements: The Gathering of the people, including the Presentation of Catherine by the Patron The Liturgy of the Word, in which we read the bible together and discern what it has to say to our lives The Liturgy of Institution, in which the tasks of ministry are spelled out, and its collaborative nature is emphasised as the context for Catherine’s ministry, which is then formally inaugurated. The institution is the admission by the bishop of a vicar into the bishop’s spiritual oversight. The induction is the admission by the archdeacon of a vicar into the possession of the church buildings, churchyards and parsonages. The installation is the formal placing by the archdeacon of a priest in her seat in the church. Catherine is then duly welcomed.
