Bucknill July 2003 C*). (ft ABSTRACT The core of the thesisis a study of the fourteenth-centurycartulaiy of the nunnery of Wherwell Abbey which survivesin a singleunedited manuscript in London, BL Egerton2104A. Although documentsfrom the cartularyhave been noted by scholarssuch as N. Vincent and M. J. Franklin in their compilationsof the Episcopal Acta VIII &D for the dioceseof Winchester,and by D. Coldicott in Hampshire Nunneries (1989), there is no substantialstudy basedon the manuscript. Part I reconstructsthe history of Wherwell, from its birth in the late Anglo- Saxonperiod, through to the fourteenth century. Alter examiningthe contentsand structureof the cartulary,Chapter 2 goeson to discussthe origins and developmentof this little known royal foundation, with specialreference to the organisationof its prebends. Chapter3 analysesthe economichistory of the abbey. The people of Wherwell are the focus of Chapter4. Wherwell had two abbessesof exceptional vigour: Matilda de Baillieul (? 1174-1213)and her niece,Euphemia de Walliers (1213- 1257). There is interestingevidence concerning the abbey's stewardsand prominent local families as well as some of the abbey's smallertenants. Finally, Chapter 5 is devotedto an accountof the abbey's struggleto maintain its rights in regardto tithes, clerical patronageand the forest. What emergesis a picture of a significantreligious and agrariancommunity, fully integratedinto the socialworld of its region, in whose history is reflectedsome of the major eventsof the period: the wars of Matilda and Stephen;the impact of the famine and plagueof the fourteenth century, and the Hundred Years War. Part II forms an extendedAppendix. It presentsa transcriptionof the full Latin text of the Table of Contents(ff. 3r-13v), which providesuseful summariesof all the documents. The largestsection of Part II, however, comprisesa selectEnglish calendarof thosecharters and documentswhich are cited in the discussionsin Part I. (it( ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It was Diana Coldicott, who first introduced me to the Wherwell Cartulary, BL Egerton 2104A, and without her initial enthusiasm and encouragement, this preliminary effort at editing the Wherwell Cartulary would never have been launched. We share the privilege of living within a few miles of Wherwell. The problem of transcribing and translating the texts of the 500 or so documents has been daunting, and would have been quite impossible without the help of Prof. David Carpenter and Prof. Anne Duggan; in addition to this, as my supervisors, they have constantly enlarged my understanding of the material before me. Leslie Wynne-Davies was also generous with her time as I struggled to master the hand. Dr. Elizabeth Danbury was particularly helpful with regard to interpretation of the later texts, and Dr. Paul Brand gave invaluable help with the French documents. It has been a great pleasure to find that my work on the unedited Wherwell documents has coincided with archaeological work on the site of Wherwell Abbey by Dr. Kate Clark and Mr. Edward Roberts, and they have both have shared their fmdings, and welcomed my own work. Others to whom I am grateful for encouragement and advice include Prof. Barbara Yorke, Dr. Nicholas Vincent, Prof. Jinty Nelson, Mr. Jim Bolton, Dr. Sarah Lewin, Dr. Michael Hicks, and Mr. Richard Eales. Without the friendship and support of numerous fellow students over the years, both at King's and at the IHR, this would have been a heartless task. To all, therefore, I extend my thanks. Back home, I have been very fortunate to be able to enjoy the friendship of Margaret Ross, who with great skill, has helped me compile my Illustrations. Finally, I would like to record the unfailing loyalty, faith and support of my husband David, who has patiently stood by me throughout the project.

  • Barton Stacey Conservation Area Character Appraisal 1 Introduction
    Barton Stacey Conservation Area Character Appraisal 1 Introduction Conservation Areas A conservation area is an area designated by the local planning authority as one of special architectural or historic interest. Once designated, the local authority has a duty1 to ensure that the character of a conservation area is preserved or enhanced, particularly when considering applications for development. Purpose of Character Appraisals Local authorities are encouraged to prepare Character Appraisals, providing detailed assessments of their conservation areas. Appraisals enable the local authority to understand the elements that give each area its distinct and unique character, identifying special qualities and highlighting features of particular signifi cance. Those elements include: historic development; landscape and topography; style, type and form of the buildings, and the spaces between buildings; materials, textures, colours and detailing; and less tangible aspects, such as sounds and smells, which can contribute to the special character of the area. A Character Appraisal is intended as an overview, providing a framework within which individual planning applications can be assessed. It includes text, an appraisal plan and photographs. It is not realistic to refer to every building or feature within a conservation area – but the omission of any part does not mean that it is without signifi cance. 1 Under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. 2 2 The Barton Stacey Conservation Area Context Barton Stacey Conservation Area was originally designated on 25th April 1984 in recognition of its special architectural and historic interest. Local authorities have a duty to periodically review their conservation areas to ensure that they are still relevant and that boundaries are logical and could be defended if a planning appeal were made.

  • Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1St October - 31St December
    Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1st October - 31st December What is a Diocese and how do we work together within it? At its simplest, a Diocese is a geographical area; a region; a collection of parishes, benefices, deaneries, archdeaconries. But it is more than that – it is a gathering of all our communities in mutual support for each other. And as the Diocese of Winchester, we each play our part in the growth of God’s Kingdom committed to our vision of ‘living the mission of Jesus’. This prayer diary helps us to get to know each other better, to find out what is happening across the area and to see how God is working and using us all in his mission across the region. The early church shared good news of what was happening across a wide area, as churches grew, and more people came to know Christ. In their commitment to love and care for one another, prayer lay at the heart of their lives. As we use this Prayer Diary, let’s seek to share that love and care for each other and to rejoice in what God is doing amongst us. This month... how might you pray for young people? For example, you might focus on school leavers, students, youth workers, community centres, young people in trouble... How might you be part of the answer to your prayers? For example, you might make a point of smiling at young people in the street; volunteer for a helpline; get involved with your local Further Education College; support parents you know whose young adult children are struggling..

    XIX.—Reginald, bishop of Bath (HJJfUgi); his episcopate, and his share in the building of the church of Wells. By the Rev. C. M. CHURCH, M.A., F.8.A., Sub-dean and Canon Residentiary of Wells. Read June 10, 1886. I VENTURE to think that bishop Eeginald Fitzjocelin deserves a place of higher honour in the history of the diocese, and of the fabric of the church of Wells, than has hitherto been accorded to him. His memory has been obscured by the traditionary fame of bishop Robert as the "author," and of bishop Jocelin as the "finisher," of the church of Wells; and the importance of his episcopate as a connecting link in the work of these two master-builders has been comparatively overlooked. The only authorities followed for the history of his episcopate have been the work of the Canon of Wells, printed by Wharton, in his Anglia Sacra, 1691, and bishop Godwin, in his Catalogue of the Bishops of England, 1601—1616. But Wharton, in his notes to the text of his author, comments on the scanty notice of bishop Reginald ;a and Archer, our local chronicler, complains of the unworthy treatment bishop Reginald had received from Godwin, also a canon of his own cathedral church.b a Reginaldi gesta historicus noster brevius quam pro viri dignitate enarravit.
