  • Henry Brinklow's Complaynt Against Rapacious Landlords
    AGHR54_1.qxd 10/05/2006 16:13 Page 24 Between fact and fiction: Henry Brinklow’s Complaynt against rapacious landlords* by Margaret Yates Abstract The purpose of this paper is to separate fact from fiction in the observations of economic trends con- tained in the writings of the evangelicals of 1542. It does so by examining the polemical tracts of Henry Brinklow and his fellow Protestants for their comments on rent, tenure and the engrossing of landhold- ings and then comparing them with data drawn from a case study of Brinklow’s home parish in Berkshire. The result establishes that, although their writings did contain nuggets of truth, the evils were neither as widespread nor recent as they would imply. They were based on an established literary tradi- tion that dated from at least the fourteenth century, augmented and justified by frequent references to biblical passages. The novelty was their urgency to bring about a godly commonwealth whilst there was still time. This paper tackles the historian’s recurring problem of how to distinguish the conventions of literature from the conditions of real life. It does so by comparing the polemical tracts of Henry Brinklow and his contemporaries with the situation in west Berkshire where Brinklow’s father and brothers were farmers at Kintbury. Brinklow and the other authors considered in this paper were all Protestant evangelicals. Their primary concerns were to attack the failings of the church, especially the priesthood, and to promote new forms of religious observance that would bring about a godly society. In this they were advocates of an ideal Christian commonwealth.

Matters arising from the Minutes of the Meeting held on 17th May 2017 There were none. 5. To invite Dr James Cave from The Downland Practice to address the meeting Dr Cave explained how the retirement of two doctors, along with another doctor leaving and a further doctor on maternity leave had resulted in a challenging period for the practice. The Practice had received no applications for the vacancies but has now been successful in finding two doctors to join, however, the practice is still missing around 36-40 hours of doctor time which will currently be covered by a locum. Dr Cave confirmed that the Compton surgery will continue to be manned each morning and that there is a move to use Compton more in the future as the increase in part-time staff leads to a need for more space.

  • West Berkshire
    West Berkshire Personal Details: Name: Dominic Boeck E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: Local Government Boundary Commission for England proposals for West Berkshire Council Proposed Burghfield & Mortimer Ward Introduction I am responding in my capacity as ward member for Aldermaston at West Berkshire Council to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England draft recommendations for new ward boundaries across West Berkshire. LGBCE Draft Recommendations I am content with the proposal that the number of members elected to West Berkshire Council is reduced from 52 to 43. I consider though that the creation of three member wards, especially in the rural parts of the district, will diminish the effectiveness of representation presently enjoyed by residents and will not meet LGBCE’s expectations that a good pattern of wards will reflect community interests and identities and is based on strong, easily identifiable boundaries . The proposed pattern, especially in areas covered by such vast wards as the proposed Aldermaston and Bucklebury where it will be extremely difficult for members to be familiar with the unique local aspects and challenges across so many parishes, will not help the council deliver effective and convenient local government. Neither will the creation of large wards which combine substantial areas and population in both rural and suburban communities, such as Thatcham Central and Crookham and as Greenham which will bring its northern-most boundary into the heart of Newbury. Consultation response WBCA asks that LGBCE reconsiders its draft recommendations to make changes to the following wards, as suggested: • Aldermaston and Bucklebury • Hungerford and Kintbury • Basildon and Compton • Wash Common, Newbury Central and Greenham • Thatcham Central and Crookham • Purley and Tilehurst At the moment, Aldermaston ward consists of 5 parishes, three of which have monthly meetings, one has meetings every two months and one has two meetings a year.
