  • Prisons and Punishments in Late Medieval London
    Prisons and Punishments in Late Medieval London Christine Winter Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London Royal Holloway, University of London, 2012 2 Declaration I, Christine Winter, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 3 Abstract In the history of crime and punishment the prisons of medieval London have generally been overlooked. This may have been because none of the prison records have survived for this period, yet there is enough information in civic and royal documents, and through archaeological evidence, to allow a reassessment of London’s prisons in the later middle ages. This thesis begins with an analysis of the purpose of imprisonment, which was not merely custodial and was undoubtedly punitive in the medieval period. Having established that incarceration was employed for a variety of purposes the physicality of prison buildings and the conditions in which prisoners were kept are considered. This research suggests that the periodic complaints that London’s medieval prisons, particularly Newgate, were ‘foul’ with ‘noxious air’ were the result of external, rather than internal, factors. Using both civic and royal sources the management of prisons and the abuses inflicted by some keepers have been analysed. This has revealed that there were very few differences in the way civic and royal prisons were administered; however, there were distinct advantages to being either the keeper or a prisoner of the Fleet prison. Because incarceration was not the only penalty available in the enforcement of law and order, this thesis also considers the offences that constituted a misdemeanour and the various punishments employed by the authorities.

  • The British Historical Manuscripts Commission
    THE BRITISH HISTORICAL MANUSCRIPTS COMMISSION V ' I HE establishment of the Royal Commission for Historical Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/7/1/41/2741992/aarc_7_1_m625418843u57265.pdf by guest on 28 September 2021 Manuscripts in 1869 was an outgrowth of the concern for public records which had reached a climax only a few years earlier. As far back as 1661, William Prynne was appointed by Charles II to care for the public records in the Tower of London. Prynne described them as a "confused chaos, under corroding, putrifying cobwebs, dust and filth. ." In attempting to rescue them he employed suc- cessively "old clerks, soldiers and women," but all abandoned the job as too dirty and unwholesome. Prynne and his clerk cleaned and sorted them. He found, as he had expected, "many rare ancient precious pearls and golden records."1 Nevertheless, by 1800 the condition of the records was deplorable again, and a Record Commission was appointed for their custody and management. It was composed of men of distinction, was liberally supported, and it published various important documents. In spite of its work, the commission could not cope with the scattered records and unsuitable depositories. Of the latter, one was a room in the Tower of London over a gunpowder vault and next to a steam pipe passage; others were cellars and stables. The agitation aroused by the commission led to passage of the Public Records Act in 1838. The care and administration of the records was restored to the Mas- ter or Keeper of the Rolls, in conjunction with the Treasury depart- ment, with enlarged powers.

    Political Society in Cumberland and Westmorland 1471-1537 By Edward Purkiss, BA (Hons). Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. School of History and Classics University of Tasmania. 2008. This Thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright. 30 May, 2008. I place no restriction on the loan or reading of this thesis and no restriction, subject to the law of copyright, on its reproduction in any form. 11 Abstract The late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries have often been seen as a turning point in the development of the English state. At the beginning of the period the authority of the Crown was offset by powerful aristocratic interests in many regional areas. By the mid sixteenth century feudal relationships were giving way to a centrally controlled administration and government was reaching into regional political communities through direct connections between the Crown and local gentlemen. This thesis will trace these developments in Cumberland and Westmorland. It will argue that archaic aspects of government and society lingered longer here than in regions closer London. Feudal relationships were significant influences on regional political society well beyond the mid sixteenth century. This was a consequence of the area's distance from the centre of government and its proximity to a hostile enemy.

  • Naming Shirehampton and the Name Shirehampton
    Naming Shirehampton and the name Shirehampton Richard Coates University of the West of England, Bristol Shirehampton is a village in southern Gloucestershire, England, which has been absorbed into the city of Bristol. It has expanded into a suburb with a population of 6867 in 1991 (census figure; the precise figure is not readily deducible from later census data).1 Its territory included, until 1917, what was marshland and is now Avonmouth port and suburb. The historical development of its name is easy to follow in broad but unrevealing terms, though there is a considerable amount of problematic detail. In this article I explore what it is possible to deduce about aspects of the processes involved in its evolution, which are not at all straightforward. The paper can also be taken as an object lesson in the lexical-semantic and phonological difficulties of historical onomastics, and in the pleasures of travelling unexpected byways in the history of onomastics and in cultural history. But historical onomastics, in the sense of establishing the etymology of a name, is not the same as exploring the history of a name, and not the same as the historiography of a name. In analysing Shirehampton and its name, we shall look at all of these techniques and processes in detail. In this article I attempt to explore the historical onomasiological questions of what this particular tract of ground has been called over the centuries, and why; the semasiological question of the use of the place’s name or names in derived names (commemoration); and the historiographical question of what scholars have deduced from the place’s name or names: first and foremost the history of the interpretation of the place’s name or names (changing views on its/their etymology, and the consequences of changes in such provisional knowledge), but also changing views about the identification (denotation) of the name or names featuring in the record, and some real-world consequences of that.

ADAMS* and GWEN AVERLEY** Introduction Little work has been done on the history of patent law in the eighteenth century since the pioneering articles of Wyndham Hulme and Seaborne Davies, the most recent of which is now over fifty years old.1 Holdsworth relied heavily on this work.2 Hulme took the view that Mansfield's decision in Liardet v Johnson (1778)2a was crucial to the development of the modern law. He believed that the law took a wrong turning at that point. Under the old practice the test of novelty was whether or not the invention had already been used and worked in the realm. Under the 'new' practice, the test was whether a prior disclosure in any form had been made.

  • THE CECIL PAPERS: FOUR CENTURIES of CUSTODIAL HISTORY Early Dispersal of the Papers
    THE CECIL PAPERS: FOUR CENTURIES OF CUSTODIAL HISTORY Early dispersal of the papers Historians of the Elizabethan and early Stuart period very quickly become aware of the dispersal of the papers of Lord Burghley and Robert Cecil amongst several different collections. These are chiefly those of the former State Paper Office at The National Archives, the Lansdowne Collection at the British Library and the Cecil Papers at Hatfield House. The State Paper Office originated in Queen Elizabeth's reign and some of Burghley's papers no doubt were always kept there or in his office at Whitehall. Many others were to hand in his own house: according to his will, his political papers concerning 'affaires of Counsell or state' were kept in his study over the porch and in certain other specified rooms in his London mansion, Burghley House. These papers he bequeathed to his son and political heir, Robert Cecil, who was Secretary of State at the time of his death. In due course they were moved to Salisbury House, which was built by Robert soon afterwards on the opposite side of the Strand. At the instigation of Robert Cecil, the powers of the State Paper Office were reinforced in 1610. One of his secretaries, Levinus Munck, and Thomas Wilson, his man of business, were appointed 'Keepers and Regesters' of the papers and records concerning matters of state and Council. The patent makes reference to the careful endeavours of Robert Earl of Salisbury, our Principal Secretary and our High Treasurer of England, to reduce all such papers, as well those that heretofore remained in the custody of Sir Thomas Lake, Knight, being the papers of some of the Principal Secretaries of our Predecessors, as also some such papers as he shall think fit to depart with, being either such as he hath collected of his own times, or such as were left to him from his late father the Lord Burghley, then Lord High Treasurer of England, into a set form or library, in some convenient place within our palace of Whitehall .
