Lancashire and the Legend of Robin Hood
Reconstructing the layout of the Town Fields of Lancaster Mike Derbyshire Although the Borough of Lancaster is known historically as an administrative and commercial centre, for much of its history agriculture dominated the town’s economy. In addition to providing the services associated with a market town, it did itself constitute a significant farming community. The purpose of the present paper is to examine the extent to which it is possible to reconstruct the layout of the town fields, in particular during the seventeenth century, and to locate fields mentioned in documents of that period. Lancaster is not a promising township in which to undertake an exercise of this kind. There is no map, such as a Tithe Map, showing field names in the township at a later date, which can be used as a basis for identifying the sites of fields mentioned in seventeenth century documents. The first objective was therefore to construct such a map as far as this is practicable, principally on the basis of nineteenth century sources. A preliminary task in preparing this map was the construction of an outline of field boundaries for recording the field names from nineteenth century sources (and also for presenting the information on field names from the seventeenth century). The most useful outline of field boundaries is provided by the Corn Rent plan of 1833. Although this does not provide field names, as do conventional Tithe Award plans, it does provide field boundaries at a date prior to the construction of the railways.1 Copies were scanned into a computer for manipulation, including the deletion of glebe land and the marsh, the deletion of areas of the moor shown as unenclosed or having the appearance of recent encroachments on Yates’s map of Lancashire of 17862 and the reconstruction of the field pattern prior to the building of the Lancaster canal. -

There have, not unexpectedly, been considerable archival losses too, as some later vacancy inventories at York make clear: the Durham sede vacante register of Alexander Neville (1381) and accompanying visitation records; the York sede vacante register after Neville’s own translation in 1388; the register of Thomas Arundel (only the register of his vicars-general survives today), and the register of Robert Waldby (likewise only his vicar-general’s register is now extant) have all long disappeared.1 Some of these would also have included records of ordinations, now missing from the chronological sequence. -

Tewkesbury Abbey Fine and Almost
Tewkesbury Abbey Fine and almost complete example of a Romanesque abbey church Pre-dates Reading. Dedicated in 1121, the year of Reading’s foundation. Look out for anniversary events at Tewksbury in 2021. But some important and interesting links to Reading Both were Benedictine Founder Robert Fitzhamon (honour of Gloucester), friend of Rufus, supported against Robert Curthose. At his death in the New Forest. Then loyal to Henry I – campaigned in Normandy against supporters of Curthose and died doing so in 1107. Fitzhamon’s heiress Mabel married Robert of Gloucester d 1147, the first and most favoured illegitimate son of Henry I, who was a key supporter of his half sister Matilda Granddaughters were coheiresses – but one of them Hawise (or Isabella of Gloucester) married Prince John. Despite annulment, Tewksbury became a royal abbey Later passed to the de Clares. Earls of Gloucester and Hereford. And made their mausoleum Richard III de Clare (grandson) married Joan of Acre, daughter of Edward I Again co heiresses in the early 14th C. the eldest Eleanor married Hugh Despenser the younger, favourite of Edward II, executed 1326. She is instrumental in making Tewksbury into a Despenser mausoleum (significant rebuilding and splendid tombs) Her great grandson Thomas Despenser marries Constance of York granddaughter of Ed III. A strong link with Reading abbey here as she was buried there in 1416 The Despenser line also ended up with an heiress Isabella who married in turn two men called Richard Beauchamp, the first Richard Beauchamp lord Abergavenny a great friend of Henry V who created him earl of Worcester: but Richard died in the French wars in March 1422; and then his half cousin Richard Beauchamp earl of Warwick, also prominent in the wars in France. -

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'. -

Peter Davenport
BATH ABBEY Peter Davenport There is no clear evidence as to when the first Christians reached Bath. We know they were here in the 3rd century when they are mentioned in a curse from the Sacred Spring of Sulis Minerva. That curse, employing a variation of what was obviously a legalistic formula, (' .. whether slave or free, Christian or pagan . ') implies that Christians were a recognised part of local society. They may not always have been a very respectable part of society, however. It may be that the local centurion Gaius Severius Emeritus was referring to them when he caused an altar to be erected in the Temple Precinct recording the rededication of this 'holy spot, wrecked by insolent hands'. Although Christianity, having become the majority religion by the end of the Roman period, survived in the areas held by the Britons against the invading Saxons, it does not seem to have done so around Bath after the capture of the region in 577. The Severn was the limit of the territory nominally controlled by the British (or Welsh) bishops that Augustine so disastrously failed to win over to his mission in 598. After the missionary work of St. Augustine and his successors Christianity was again established, especially through the conversion of the Saxon kings (with the expectation that their loyal subjects would emulate them). It is against this background that we can begin our account of Bath's Abbey. The Saxon Abbey The earliest document that the Abbey can produce is a charter dated 675, granted by King Osric of the Hwicce, a sub-grouping 2 PETER DAVENPORT of the Kingdom of Mercia.
