A Note to Researchers N.B. When Using the Index, Researchers Should A note to Researchers The Arundel Castle Archive Catalogues have been electronically scanned, a process which resulted in mysterious changes to some of the characters, e.g. the letters ‘r’ and ‘n’ when occurring together were sometimes changed into the letter ‘m’, fractions are often not recognised, the letter H and the £ signs sometimes become #. Every effort has been made to correct such things, but researchers should be aware that some anomalies may remain. If in doubt about any of the entries, or if you come across and can clarify anything we have missed, please contact a member of the Archive team at Arundel Castle. Information in the catalogues which has been found to be incorrect is indicated by striking through, and any additional information appears throughout the catalogues inside square brackets and in red. N.B. When using the Index, researchers should be aware that the page numbers refer to those at the bottom of the (original) catalogue page and NOT to the computer generated page numbering. Document references must include the letter reference (highlighted at the top of the page) as well as the number. ARUNDEL CASTLE ARCHIVES INTERIM HANDLISTS Nos. 1-12 edited by FRANCIS W.

The quantity T of documents at the Castle is so great and their arrangement was so disorderly after the addition of further large consignments from Norfolk House that the whole collection had to be re-sorted. As the work proceeded, it became evident that none of these archives would be accessible to scholars unless certain groups, even if eventually found to be incomplete, were finally listed and numbered. This course of action also helped to reduce the sheer bulk of records carrying only temporary catalogue marks and gave much-needed room to manoeuvre. The original plan was to issue separate handlists devoted to each principal class of archive, but it soon became obvious that such lists required indexes if they were to be really useful. It was therefore decided to wait until eleven lists were compiled and, with an index to them all as list no. 12, to offer a sizable book. A catalogue of the Earl Marshal's papers was published by the Harleian Society in 1964; the archives of the Duke of Norfolk's Yorkshire,1 Notting- hamshire and Derbyshire estates are the subject of a catalogue published by the Libraries and Arts Committee of the Corporation of Sheffield in 1965. It is planned to issue further volumes in fairly quick succession of certain other large classes of the Arundel Castle archives: these will deal with (a) accounts (some 1,400 items); (b) miscellaneous documents (about 1,200 groups); (c) title-deeds (approximately 10,000 documents). Then will follow lists of court rolls and a full catalogue of the extensive papers of the first and second Lord Lyons. When these groups are completed,2 the remainder of the records at Arundel should not present too great a prob- lem. As catalogue entries for stray documents are merged into the master, interleaved, copy of the lists now printed, and in those to be printed, it will be a relatively simple matter to reprint all these interim handlists, with a comprehensive index, in as many volumes as may be necessary. The scheme outlined above will mean that a continually increasing quantity of archives will become available at intervals instead of scholars having to wait until the entire collection is processed. While the number of records involved is hard to estimate, it may be claimed that Arundel Castle houses one of the largest and most complex collections in the country. I have written elsewhere3 about some of the problems attached to the sorting and listing of such a vast accumulation of archives and I can only repeat that scholars must continue to be patient. The access to records at Arundel is restricted even if catalogues are in print. Accredited students should apply in the first instance to the County 1 Except the estates in the East Riding, the archives of which are deposited in the County Record Office at Beverley. 2 Their publication will not necessarily be in the order they are mentioned above. 3 'The Archivist, the Public and the Stately Home', and 'Obiter Dicta et Scripta', The Journal of the Society of Archivists, vol. II (1960-64), pp. 316-318 and vol. Ill (1965- ),pp. 241-245, respectively. v Archivist of West Sussex for permission to use any of the documents, but it must be clearly understood (i) that access will not be given to un- catalogued material; (ii) that students will have to fit in with such attendances as the County Archivist is able to make at Arundel; (iii) that certain classes of records (e.g. the correspondence of the 15th Duke of Norfolk, and documents of fairly recent date) are not open to inspection; (iv) that access to any document may be refused. Arundel Castle is still a private home and those facilities normally available for research work in a Record Office cannot be provided there at present. [This paragraph remains here (highlighted) in order to maintain the integrity of the original catalogue. Although there are still some restricted documents, access is granted wherever possible. Researchers should contact Arundel Castle Archives (see the website) and not the County Archivist, to arrange their visits.] Although the Arundel archives are administered by the County Archivist of West Sussex, through the County Records Committee, they are the property of His Grace The Duke of Norfolk, E.M., K.G., P.C., G.C.V.O., and acknowledgment must be made to him if any of them are quoted in printed works or theses. Each group of archives in this handlist is prefaced by a class letter (e.g. AY, for Aylward Papers) which should precede the reference number of any individual item. Chichester, F.W.S. January 1968. vi ARUNDEL CASTLE ARCHIVES INTERIM HANDLIST No. 1 THE AYLWARD PAPERS 1672- 17 1 7 Issued by THE WEST SUSSEX COUNTY COUNCIL COUNTY HALL, CHICHESTER 1961 MOORE AND TILLYER LTD., PRINTERS, CHICHESTER THE AYLWARD PAPERS, 1672-1717 The papers in this collection are mainly the business correspondence and accounts of John Aylward, who was a general import and export merchant and banker. His life was spent, as far as we can tell from these papers, almost entirely in Malaga, St. Malo and London. The earliest letters are addressed to him in Malaga, and begin in 1672. In 1687 he moved from Malaga to St. Malo, where he stayed until 1698 except for a short visit to London in the autumn and winter of 1687-8. Aylward finally moved to London in 1698, and remained there until his death on May 5th, 1705. John Aylward, originally of Waterford in Ireland, was probably the son of that John Aylward of Faithlegg, Co. Waterford, whom Burke's Landed Gentry for 1849 describes as having lost all his possessions in the Civil War. The latter's son, Peter Aylward, is said to have married Ann Butler, and as letters survive in the collection from several members of the Butler family, it seems like that a relationship existed between John Aylward and the family of that name at Waterford. John Aylward the merchant married Helena Porter, widow of Jacques De La Herse Trublet, and daughter of Matthew Porter, a merchant of Cadiz and St. Malo. Their daughter Mary married Henry Charles Howard of Greystoke, and was the mother of Charles Howard who in 1777 became 10th Duke of Norfolk. A few personal letters are included in the collection, but by far the greater number deal with Aylward's business interests, which seem to have been many and various; embracing, among others, such different commodities as baize, herrings, stockings, lemons and wine. His trade was with Spain, Italy, the Low Countries, France and England, and the series of letters is remarkably complete. 1 JOHN AYLWARD BUSINESS CORRESPONDENCE AY 1 Miscellaneous letters to John Aylward,1 1672-1676. 5 letters. 2 Miscellaneous letters to John Aylward, 1683. 1 bundle. 3 Miscellaneous letters to John Aylward, Jan.-Oct. 1684. 1 bundle. 4 Miscellaneous letters to John Aylward, Jan.-Dec. 1685. 1 bundle. 5 Miscellaneous letters to John Aylward, Jan.-Dec. 1686. 1 bundle. 6 Miscellaneous letters to John Aylward, Jan. 1687-Dec. 1691. 1 bundle. 7 Miscellaneous letters to John Aylward, Jan.-Dec. 1692. 1 bundle. 8 Miscellaneous letters to John Aylward, Jan.-May 1693. 1 bundle. 9 Miscellaneous letters to John Aylward, Mar. 1694-Nov. 1699. 1 bundle. 10 Miscellaneous letters to John Aylward, Jan. 1700-Dec. 1703. 1 bundle. 11 Letters to John and Helena Aylward from Daniel Arthur and Daniel Arthur, junior, in Paris, Oct. 1691-Nov. 1696. 1 bundle. 12 Letters to John Aylward from Francis Arthur and Company [Messrs.

  • The Value of Books
    The Value of Books: The York Minster Library as a social arena for commodity exchange. Master’s thesis, 60 credits, Spring 2018 Author: Luke Kelly Supervisor: Gudrun Andersson Seminar chair: Dag Lindström Date: 12/01/2018 HISTORISKA INSTITUTIONEN It would be the height of ignorance, and a great irony, if within a work focused on the donations of books, that the author fails to acknowledge and thank those who assisted in its production. Having been distant from both Uppsala and close friends whilst writing this thesis, (and missing dearly the chances to talk to others in person), it goes without saying that this work would not be possible if I had not had the support of many generous and wonderful people. Although to attempt to thank all those who assisted would, I am sure, fail to acknowledge everyone, a few names should be highlighted: Firstly, thank you to all of my fellow EMS students – the time spent in conversation over coffees shaped more of this thesis than you would ever realise. Secondly, to Steven Newman and all in the York Minster Library – without your direction and encouragement I would have failed to start, let alone finish, this thesis. Thirdly, to all members of History Node, especially Mikael Alm – the continued enthusiasm felt from you all reaches further than you know. Fourthly, to my family and closest – thank you for supporting (and proof reading, Maja Drakenberg) me throughout this process. Any success of the work can be attributed to your assistance. Finally, to Gudrun Andersson – thank you for offering guidance and support throughout this thesis’ production.

W1–43).1 He was already a benefactor of the abbey of La Trinité-du-Mont near Rouen when, apparently before 1086, he and his wife Muriel chose to transform the church of Blyth into a priory of monks dependent on the Norman abbey.2 Building work on a substantial scale began swiftly: most of the nave of the original priory church survives in an austere early Norman style. The location chosen for the priory lies on a high road north from Nottingham, often referred to in deeds as the uia regia, which connects with the Great North Road.3 Tolls were the main component of its revenues, and the so-called foundation charter in Roger de Busli’s name provides for both holding fairs and receiving tolls (Ctl.

    West Sussex & the Great War Project www.westsussexpast.org.uk Tortington and the Great War Family and faith in a rural Sussex parish Church of St Mary Magdalene, Tortington Photo J Henderson John Henderson © John Henderson and West Sussex County Council West Sussex & the Great War Project www.westsussexpast.org.uk The Church of St Mary Magdalene in Tortington, West Sussex Tortington is a small hamlet on the west bank of the River Arun, just two miles to the south of Arundel. Its parish church, built in the 12th century and dedicated to St Mary Magdalene and to St Thomas, owes its existence to a former Augustinian priory which stood on a site nearby until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century.1 The ‘Black Canons’ of the priory received an income as well as sustenance from the land farmed around them and until the 18th century agriculture and prayer were the only preoccupations of the parish. That was when brick-making began to offer alternative employment in Tortington and in the 19th century an iron foundry and engineering works added more economic diversity. At the southernmost end of the parish the coming of the railway in 1846, and by 1863 an inn and goods yards, saw yet more opportunities arise as well as adding several unfamiliar family names to the parish registers. In the early 20th century political and demographic factors were to alter the character of Tortington again, this time reversing the trend towards small industrial enterprises by virtue of a parish boundary change. In 1902 Arundel swallowed up parts of Tortington lying on either side of the Chichester road and these included Park Farm and the White Swan inn on the north side of the road and the area around Ford road on the south side.

  • Notes by the Revd Robert Foster. October 2017, Corrected 15 January 2018
    Notes by the Revd Robert Foster. October 2017, corrected 15 January 2018. Trevor Cooper (TC). Introduction: the Revd Robert Foster’s notes The Reverend Robert Foster is known to have left four sets of notes about Burpham. 1. Of the Village of Burpham This contains Foster’s notes on the village, with separate sections on the roads and houses. Foster’s original copy is in WSRO Par 31/7/5. It is undated, but certainly after 1891 (date mentioned in text); it refers in general terms to his successor, so probably written towards the end of his life. It was originally accompanied by at least three photos, no longer with the document. Note that the final few pages have become attached to item 2 (described below) but have been re-attached in TC’s transcript. A handwritten transcript in another hand is owned by Mrs Pat Hay-Wills. TC has a scan of this transcript, which omits the final three paragraphs, breaking short in the middle of a sentence. It also skips a couple of lines in the middle of the piece. There is a photocopy of this handwritten transcript in WSRO MP3194. There is also a typescript of this handwritten transcript on the village website (October 2017). A new typed transcript of the original will be found below, made by TC October 2017. 2. Of Burpham church etc etc Foster’s original copy is in WSRO Par 31/7/5. It is undated, but mentions an 1891 window to Robert Drewitt so is after that date. Note that the final few pages rightly belong to item 1 and have been placed there in this transcript.
