  • Newsletter Vol. 2
    CASTLE STUDIES GROUP NEWSLETTER Number 2 AUTUMN 1988 Dear Member First of all, may I apologise for the belated appearance of this Newsletter, which has become the casualty of a growing pile of paperwork in Exeter University. Second, you will immediately see that its contents are not exactly as anticipated when last year's Newsletter was produced. As a result of discussion among the Steering Committee, which had an. informal meeting after the first day of the conference at Leeds in May of this year, the original plan to publish the Register of Members separately has been abandoned. Instead, the information collected on numerous questionnaires between 1986 and 1988 5s presented here, in digested form, in the second Newsletter together wit a an up-dated list of members The questionnaire enclosed Invites you to send information to appear in next year's Newsletter, in conjunction with the publications list which is provided by John Kenyon, In this way, each Newsletter will provide an accumulating body of information. Third, you will find enclosed a Bankers Order Form, which you may prefer to use rather than send a cheque each year. Use of these forms will certainly help in cutting down the paperwork for your Secretary. If you have not yet renewed your subscription from April 1988, please do so very soon. While numerous comments have been received about the usefulness of the Newsletter it will not develop its full potential unless members send items for publication. The first two issues have been very "business" orientated in their content. Please remember to send local/regional/national/ international news which you think might be of interest, together with dates and venues of meetings or courses (adult education tutors please note!) which members might wish to attend.

Carefully Compiled from Authentic Sources By ED\VARD COOLBAUGH HOAGLAJ\-D Author of "Coolbaughs In America” 1Iember of The New England Historic Genealogical Society Fellow The Institute of American Genealogy Published By The Author Wyi;ox, Pa. 1 9 4 0 PREFACE "Honour thy father and thy mother; which is the drat commandment with promise.” (Eph. 6: 2). Reverence for our parents is the first of the ten commandments which touches every life. The tiny babe instinctively loves the mother who ten- derly nurtures it. As the character of the youth unfolds, he finds that recourse to his own background supplies the answer to most questions about his physical and mental endowments which have written themselves indellibly upon his subconscious mind. It takes foresight, paradoxically, to see into the present from the past. Helpful remarks touching on the origin of surnames, practical value of a family record, etc., will be found in the Preface to the Coolbaugh Genealogy. The contents of this volume are partly supplemental to the Coolbaugh Family History, and will be of great interest to possessors of one of those little records. As a contribution to the general history of northeastern Pennsylvania and central New York State, and even to the bibliography of New England, New Netherland and the mother countries across the sea, its value cannot be overestimated.

  • 8.5 X12.5 Doublelines.P65
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-58132-5 - Greater Medieval Houses of England and Wales 1300-1500, Volume III Southern England Anthony Emery Excerpt More information INTRODUCTION no new cathedrals were built in England or Wales after 1250, and few monasteries were established between that time and their dis- solution 300 years later. The castles of Edward I in North Wales were almost the last fortresses to be erected in this country before the advent of Henry VIII’s coastal forts and blockhouses. A consid- erable number of churches were extended or rebuilt during the later middle ages but they conformed in plan and liturgical function to those of an earlier age. On the other hand, houses had begun to take a recognisable form during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries which reached fulfilment as a prism of society during the following two centuries. They reflected the spread of wealth, the rise of new families, social differentiation, and the organisation and growth of household institutions. Out of the one and a half thousand med- ieval houses that have survived in England and Wales, nearly 700 are described in these three volumes.1 They stand as testimony to the first great age of domestic architecture, for that was not an achievement of the Tudors but a development of Plantaganet society between 1300 and 1500. It is these houses that lie at the heart of architectural and related institutional development during the later middle ages. The crown, the aristocracy, and the gentry of medieval England were the movers and shakers of society. What they did, and how they did it, at national, regional, and local levels affected the government, the economy, the welfare, and the social justice or injustice of the country at all levels of society.

    THE ENGLISH HOUSEHOLD CHAPEL, C. 1100 - c. 1500: AN INSTITUTIONAL STUDY KENT RAWLINSON The copyright of this thesis rests with the author or the university to which it was submitted. No quotation from it, or information derived from it may be published, without the prior written consent of the author or university, and any information derived from it should be acknowledged. A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History UNIVERSITY OF DURHAM ST. CHAD'S COLLEGE 2008 - 6 JUN 2008 TITLE The English Household Chapel, c. 1100 - c. 1500: An Institutional Study CANDIDATE Kent Rawlinson, St. Chad's College, University of Durham DEGREE & DATE Ph.D., 2008 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the English medieval household chapel. Such chapels have only been studied previously in a partial and disjointed manner, as 'private', 'domestic' or 'castle' chapels, to name some categories. Past scholarship has assumed them to be maintained in an ad hoc manner, as the extraordinary consequence of individual piety, or the desire for social display. Instead, this thesis defines, for the first time, a discrete class of chapels based upon their primary function: the religious provision of medieval lordly households. It argues that individual households were instances of a wide-ranging and well- established ecclesiastical institution: 'the household chapel'. It posits that this institution had five principal elements: a basis in canon law; systems of maintenance and regulation; personnel (household chaplains); architectural and material expressions (household-chapel buildings and furnishings); and domestic religious routines. It argues that these elements were common to most household chapels between c.

  • Louisa Lee and Louisa 1685 – 19Th Century 394 Barlow Hoy [325-330] 6 Envelopes
    SUBSECTION: Louisa Lee and Louisa 1685 – 19th century 394 Barlow Hoy [325-330] 6 envelopes. Luisa Lee, daughter of Francis Lee and Sara Healing, English by birth, married Donato Guadagni, son of Luigi, in 1828. Donato and Luisa had four daughters, Aurora, Isabella, Emma and Giulia, and one son, Guadagno, born in 1833. Also Guadagno married an English woman, Luisa, daughter of James Barlow Hoy and Marianna Bird, in 1860. The two Luisas, mother and daughter-in-law, inherited their parents’ fortune, and left part of their papers among the documents of the Guadagni Archives, even though the former had never been organized and were put in the drawers and trunks deposited next to the shelves of the archives of the Guadagni Villa of Masseto. They were recuperated during the recent transfer of the documentation to the State Archives of the City of Florence. It was only during the reorganization of the Guadagni Archives (2007), that these papers were organized and described. During that work, it was not always possible to maintain the principle of “original writer” because both women were referred to as “marchesa Luisa Guadagni”. The fact that they were only one generation apart and that their lives would often run parallel has sometimes confused their papers. For this reason, the documents of both are assembled in only one section and might deserve ulterior examinations. We have also the documentation of the restoration works on the Guadagni Palace outside Porta al Prato in Florence. It was first rented by Alessandro Floriano Colonna Walescki (1862), then, it was bought by Luisa Lee.

    ) Collections RELATING TO The Family of Trotman. Edited by W. P. W. PHILLIMORE, M.A., B.C.L. <» PRINTED FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION / .4 BYJOHN WHITE, STRQUD, GLOUCESTERSHIRE. 1892 / Syston Court in 1709: From Sir Robert Atkyns' "Gloucestershire." COLLECTIONS RELATING TO THE Family ? of ? Trotman. :o: rT"vHE surname of Trotman is one which has been long J. characteristic of Gloucestershire. Its origin and signifi­ cance are stillunascertained, for though Smyth, of Nibley,inhis Hundred ofBerkeley traces the family back to Richard Trotman livinginthe time of Edward 11., he gives no authority for the assertion, nor any clue as to the residence of the earlier generations of the family. We know, however, that Elias Trottman was a feoffee of the Church-house at Dursley in 1495, and it is said that Josceline, Bishop of Bath and Wells, 1206-42, was surnamed Trotman. The Trotmans apparently came into prominence in the firsthalf of the sixteenth century, and owed their position, like many other Gloucestershire families, to the manufacture of cloth. Cam was the village with which they were chiefly connected, and the name is still to be found there. From the Trotmans, of Cam, it seems indeed probable that most existing families of the name have descended. " the Description of the Hundred of Berkeley," by John INSmyth, of Nibley, lately for the first time published under the auspices of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society, are numerous references to the family. As they are scattered, it willbe a convenience to collect them together, and they willform a suitable introduction to the abstracts oforiginal documents which willfollow.
