It is a companion to my book, Seeking Sanctuary: Crime, Mercy, and absence of exact dates I sometimes assigned a reasonable year to a seeker (always Politics in English Courts, 1400-1550 (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2017).

Details Seeking Sanctuary explores a curious aspect of premodern English law: the right of on the offences are noted in the summaries of the cases; there is repetition in the felons to shelter in a church or ecclesiastical precinct, remaining safe from arrest cases where several perpetrators were named in a single document so that and trial in the king's courts.

Looking separates the entries (e.g. by surname). anew at this subject challenges the prevailing assumptions in the scholarship that this 'medieval' practice had become outmoded and little-used by the fifteenth and To compile this data, I looked comprehensively through a number of archival sixteenth centuries. Although for decades after 1400 sanctuary-seeking was indeed collections, especially National Archives [TNA], KB 9 [King’s Bench indictment files] fairly rare, the evidence in the legal records shows the numbers of felons seeing and other document classes at TNA with online calendars (which allowed cases refuge in churches began to climb again in the late fifteenth century and reached involving sanctuary to be identified easily), such as Chancery bills (C 1), Star its peak in the period between 1525 and 1535. Sanctuary was not so much a Chamber (STAC 2), Common Pleas (CP 40 – calendar at British History Online) and medieval practice accidentally surviving into the early modern era, as it was an State Papers (SP); I also looked at much (but not all) of the Rex side of KB 27 (the organism that had continued to evolve and adapt to new environments and indeed Coram Rege rolls), at KB 29 (King’s Bench controlment rolls), and at numerous flourished in its adapted state. Sanctuary suited the early Tudor regime: it other records at TNA and other archives that came to my attention through intersected with rapidly developing ideas about jurisdiction and provided a means references in other scholars’ work or other research. Many of the records at the of mitigating the harsh capital penalties of the English law of felony that was useful National Archives at Kew are available through the Anglo-American Legal Tradition not only to felons but also to the crown and the political elite. Sanctuary's project website (http://aalt.law.uh.edu), including most of the King’s Bench records resurgence after 1480 means we need to rethink how sanctuary worked, and to on which I have relied heavily. I also searched through any printed sources for the reconsider more broadly the intersections of culture, law, politics, and religion in period that I thought might have instances of sanctuary seeking. There doubtless the years between 1400 and 1550. remain other instances in other records that I have not uncovered; I am, of course, always pleased to receive further references or corrections.

  • Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes
    Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes + Physical Influences Malhamdale The landscape of Malhamdale is dominated by the influence of limestone, and includes some of the most spectacular examples of this type of scenery within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and within the United Kingdom as a whole. Great Scar limestone dominates the scenery around Malham, attaining a thickness of over 200m. It was formed in the Carboniferous period, some 330 million years ago, by the slow deposition of shell debris and chemical precipitates on the floor of a shallow tropical sea. The presence of faultlines creates dramatic variations in the scenery. South of Malham Tarn is the North Craven Fault, and Malham Cove and Gordale Scar, two miles to the south, were formed by the Mid Craven Fault. Easy erosion of the softer shale rocks to the south of the latter fault has created a sharp southern edge to the limestone plateau north of the fault. This step in the landscape was further developed by erosion during the various ice ages when glaciers flowing from the north deepened the basin where the tarn now stands and scoured the rock surface between the tarn and the village, leading later to the formation of limestone pavements. Glacial meltwater carved out the Watlowes dry valley above the cove. There are a number of theories as to the formation of the vertical wall of limestone that forms Malham Cove, whose origins appear to be in a combination of erosion by ice, water and underground water. It is thought that water pouring down the Watlowes valley would have cascaded over the cove and cut the waterfall back about 600 metres from the faultline, although this does not explain why the cove is wider than the valley above.

  • A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD
    A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD Christ Church was founded in 1546, and there had been a college here since 1525, but prior to the Dissolution of the monasteries, the site was occupied by a priory dedicated to the memory of St Frideswide, the patron saint of both university and city. St Frideswide, a noble Saxon lady, founded a nunnery for herself as head and for twelve more noble virgin ladies sometime towards the end of the seventh century. She was, however, pursued by Algar, prince of Leicester, for her hand in marriage. She refused his frequent approaches which became more and more desperate. Frideswide and her ladies, forewarned miraculously of yet another attempt by Algar, fled up river to hide. She stayed away some years, settling at Binsey, where she performed healing miracles. On returning to Oxford, Frideswide found that Algar was as persistent as ever, laying siege to the town in order to capture his bride. Frideswide called down blindness on Algar who eventually repented of his ways, and left Frideswide to her devotions. Frideswide died in about 737, and was canonised in 1480. Long before this, though, pilgrims came to her shrine in the priory church which was now populated by Augustinian canons. Nothing remains of Frideswide’s nunnery, and little - just a few stones - of the Saxon church but the cathedral and the buildings around the cloister are the oldest on the site. Her story is pictured in cartoon form by Burne-Jones in one of the windows in the cathedral. One of the gifts made to the priory was the meadow between Christ Church and the Thames and Cherwell rivers; Lady Montacute gave the land to maintain her chantry which lay in the Lady Chapel close to St Frideswide’s shrine.

Policy Context 1 3. Methodology 2 4. Central Lincolnshire’s Settlements 2 5. The Settlement Categories 3 6. The Criteria 4 7. Applying the Criteria 6 8. Policy and ‘Localism’ Aspirations 9 9. Next Steps 9 Appendix: Services and Facilities in 10 Central Lincolnshire Settlements 1. Introduction 1.1. A settlement hierarchy ranks settlements according to their size and their range of services and facilities. When coupled with an understanding of the possible capacity for growth, this enables decisions to be taken about the most appropriate planning strategy for each settlement. 1.2. One of the primary aims of establishing a settlement hierarchy is to promote sustainable communities by bringing housing, jobs and services closer together in an attempt to maintain and promote the viability of local facilities and reduce the need to travel to services and facilities elsewhere. A settlement hierarchy policy can help to achieve this by concentrating housing growth in those settlements that already have a range of services (as long as there is capacity for growth), and restricting it in those that do not. 1.3. In general terms, larger settlements that have a higher population and more services and facilities are more sustainable locations for further growth. However, this may not always be the case. A larger settlement may, for example, have physical constraints that cannot be overcome and therefore restrict the scope for further development. Conversely, a smaller settlement may be well located and with few constraints, and suitable for new development on a scale that might be accompanied by the provision of new services and facilities.

  • How Useful Are Episcopal Ordination Lists As a Source for Medieval English Monastic History?
    Jnl of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. , No. , July . © Cambridge University Press doi:./S How Useful are Episcopal Ordination Lists as a Source for Medieval English Monastic History? by DAVID E. THORNTON Bilkent University, Ankara E-mail: [email protected] This article evaluates ordination lists preserved in bishops’ registers from late medieval England as evidence for the monastic orders, with special reference to religious houses in the diocese of Worcester, from to . By comparing almost , ordination records collected from registers from Worcester and neighbouring dioceses with ‘conven- tual’ lists, it is concluded that over per cent of monks and canons are not named in the extant ordination lists. Over half of these omissions are arguably due to structural gaps in the surviving ordination lists, but other, non-structural factors may also have contributed. ith the dispersal and destruction of the archives of religious houses following their dissolution in the late s, many docu- W ments that would otherwise facilitate the prosopographical study of the monastic orders in late medieval England and Wales have been irre- trievably lost.

One, when he was just 15, was his truly outstanding feat of transforming a rusty VW LT into a spectacular campervan for the family to use. The other, when he was 17, was taking a dilapidated canal narrowboat through its transformation into a beautiful floating home for the family, which consists of me, Billy and his autistic, cheeky, energetic sister, Matilda. The boat is named ‘MatildaJayne’ after us. The refurbishment was followed by George Clarke for his ‘Amazing Spaces’ programme on Channel 4. The response to the boat has been so immense and positive that Billy has been asked to do charity events with the boat in the summer. Billy said that he thoroughly enjoyed doing the build and cannot wait to do his next one, which he has plans for already.
