  • 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.

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.

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'.

    Emily Mitchell Patronage and Politics at Barking Abbey, c. 950 - c. 1200 Abstract This thesis is a study of the Benedictine abbey of Barking in Essex from the tenth to the twelfth centuries. It is based on a wide range of published and unpublished documentary sources, and on hagiographie texts written at the abbey. It juxtaposes the literary and documentary sources in a new way to show that both are essential for a full understanding of events, and neither can be fully appreciated in isolation. It also deliberately crosses the political boundary of 1066, with the intention of demonstrating that political events were not the most significant determinant of the recipients of benefactors’ religious patronage. It also uses the longer chronological scale to show that patterns of patronage from the Anglo-Saxon era were frequently inherited by the incoming Normans along with their landholdings. Through a detailed discussion of two sets of unpublished charters (Essex Record Office MSS D/DP/Tl and Hatfield, Hatfield House MS Ilford Hospital 1/6) 1 offer new dates and interpretations of several events in the abbey’s history, and identify the abbey’s benefactors from the late tenth century to 1200. As Part III shows, it has been possible to trace patterns of patronage which were passed down through several generations, crossing the political divide of 1066. Royal patronage is shown to have been of great significance to the abbey, and successive kings exploited their power of advowson in different ways according to the political atmosphere o f England. The literary sources are discussed in a separate section, but with full reference to the historical narrative.

  • Agenda Item No. 21 Halesowen Area Committee
    Agenda Item No. 21 Halesowen Area Committee – 1st July 2009 Report of the Area Liaison Officer Raising the Standard – a flag for Halesowen? Purpose of Report 1. To consider a proposal to adopt and have made a flag for Halesowen. Background 2. In March, Councillor Hill raised the prospect of a flag for Halesowen. He had been talking to a former Halesowen resident, a Mr. Philip Tibbetts, who had created a Halesowen Tartan and has also designed a Halesowen flag. Mr. Tibbetts is keen to have his flag design formally adopted so that it can be registered. The flag could also be used on appropriate occasions to promote the Town and to give it a sense of identity. The flag is included for information in the Appendix and a colour copy will be circulated at the Area Committee. 3. Mr. Tibbetts is a former Earls High pupil who no longer lives in the Borough. He says when designing the flag:- ”I had thought that counties had every right to a flag and following on that course of thinking it seemed only fair that towns and cities should have their own too. The flag takes on elements of Halesowen’s two coats of arms. The older arms probably are associated with Halesowen Abbey which was founded by Premonstratensian canons from France in 1215. The French influence can be seen in the blue field with the three golden fleur-de-lys upon which a white chevron is added. These arms can be seen repeatedly inside Halesowen Church and are also the basis for the emblems Halesowen Golf Club, The Earls High School (the old Grammar School) and Old Halesonians Rugby & Hockey clubs.” ”The second coat of arms was granted by the Royal College for the parish council in 1937 and can still be seen on benches in the town centre.
