“Accompt of Writing Belonging to Me Pet. Burrell” Notes on Marriage, Birth and Death 1687 - 1704
“Accompt of Writing belonging to me Pet. Burrell” Notes on marriage, birth and death 1687 - 1704 Introduction During a research visit to the Kent History and Library Centre in October 2019, the bundle “MANORIAL DOCUMENTS AND DEEDS (1250-1927)” was ordered. The documents related to the Burrell family of Beckenham, Kent. My role was “research assistant” to my husband, Keith, who was working on deeds and leases relating to Shortlands House and Estate in the 17th and 18th centuries (see “Shortlands House and Estate 14th – 21st Century”). Peter Burrell 1649/50 – 1718 ©Kent Archives Ref: U36/F1 Reproduced by kind permission ©Burrell Family Collection/Knepp Castle One of the items in the bundle was U36/F1 “Burrell family – account book of Peter Burrell, including account of rents 1687-1694, repairs at Beckenham (no details) 1692; lands purchased 1698-1704, notes on birth and death of children 1687-1701”. It was a small notebook containing an inscription stating that it was the property of Peter Burrell. The first 61 “folios” (double pages), neatly detailed the who, when and what of financial and land transactions. These I duly transcribed to confirm the dates and names of owners and tenants detailed various purchases, sales and exchanges of fields, houses, farms and estates. This appeared to be the end of the accounts and there was a handy index of names at the back of the book. However, leafing past the blank pages, I came to pages crowded with less carefully penned writing, with continuations in margins and marks indicating where, having run out of room on one folio, Peter had continued an entry on another page. -

City of London Spatial Classification
LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY – STEPS TOWARDS DEMOCRACY 7.8 LONDON AND SPATIAL CLASSIFICATION Note: Following the LEH website conventions, ‘London’ refers to the parliamentary constituency. ‘City of London’ is the spatial entity O! [London’s] Lamps of a night! Her rich goldsmiths, print shops, toy shops, mercers, hardwaremen, pastry cooks! – St. Paul’s churchyard, the Strand! Exeter Change! – Charing Cross, with the man upon a black horse! – These are thy Gods O London – … All the streets and pavements are pure gold, I warrant you. – At least I know an Alchemy that turns her mud into that metal – a mind that loves to be at home in Crowds... .1 ‘London’ has long meant different things to different people. As Charles Lamb’s enthusiastic commentary indicated, it catered well for those who could cope with its crowds and diversity. Administrative London, the centre of national government, overlapped with the legal and legislative centres of the nation, while the West End became the seasonal playground of the well-to-do and the home of smart shops, with poor areas providing cheap labour tucked among the grandeur. Eastwards, commercial and financial London focused on the port and the City of London itself. It had a different appearance: of wharves and warehouses riverwards, and dwelling-places and nearby counting-houses. To take one literary example, Elizabeth Bennet’s uncle Gardiner was a City wholesaler, living, as Jane Austen specified, ‘by trade and within view of his own warehouses.’2 But over time, the City’s business premises were increasingly supplanting residential properties within the inner city, as the march of London into Middlesex provided accommodation for the teeming masses of the metropolis. -
City of London Churches Introduction All Hallows by the Tower
City of London Churches Introduction The following pages are a series of written by Mark McManus about some of his favourite churches in the City of London All Hallows by the Tower Barking Abbey, the remains of which still be seen, was founded by Erkenwald in the year 666. Owning land on the eastern edge of the City, the Abbey constructed the Saxon church of All Hallows Berkyngechirche on Tower Hill in 675. Over the centuries, the name mutated to All Hallows Barking. The exterior of the building is quite large and imposing, but its different architectural styles bring attention to its historic troubles: medieval masonry dominated by the brown brickwork of the post-Blitz restoration, its tower of 1659 being a rare example of a Cromwellian rebuild. Despite the somewhat forbidding exterior, the inside of the church is a spacious and light surprise. This is due mostly to Lord Mottistone's post-WWII rebuild, which replaced the previously gloomy Norman nave with concrete and stone, blending well with the medieval work of the aisles with a grace that the cluttered exterior can only dream off. The plain east window allows light to flood into the church, and the glass placed in the recently reopened southern entrance also helps to maintain this airy atmosphere. All Hallows is eager to tell its story. As you first step in through the main entrance in Great Tower Street, you are greeted by a large facsimile showing Vischer's famous engraving of pre- Great Fire London seen from the South Bank, and a gift shop which is the largest I've seen in a City church. -
MUSICIANS and COMMONERS in LATE MEDIEVAL LONDON Simon
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: MUSICIANS AND COMMONERS IN LATE MEDIEVAL LONDON Simon Polson, Doctor of Philosophy, 2020 Dissertation directed by: Professor Barbara Haggh-Huglo School of Music This dissertation examines music making in late medieval London (c.1300-c.1550) from the commoners’ perspective, and with this emphasis, does not discuss royal or monastic musical ensembles or music in aristocratic households, nor does it examine the music of St Paul’s Cathedral in detail. This shifts the focus from mensurally notated, pre-composed music towards monophony and extemporized polyphony which, unnotated, was realized in performance. These kinds of music more than any others were those made by medieval musicians and heard by commoners; through a study of archival documents and their printed editions, including account books, chronicles and other sources, the dissertation identifies the events at which musicians performed and commoners encountered music: civic and royal processions; the Midsummer Watches; processions of criminals with “rough music”; liturgical feast days, and at associated meals. It also locates the music of daily life in the streets and in many dozens of parish churches. The extant notated music from medieval London is mostly in chant books. No complete extant source of polyphony survives, but neither would such a source accurately represent a musical culture in which mensural polyphony and notated music itself were inaccessible to most. Used with methodological caution, documents from London reveal details where little notated music survives and describe or hint at the music that commoners knew. Also examined are two songs (“Sovereign Lord Welcome Ye Be,” “Row the bote Norman”) with surviving texts that may be original. -

Life and Death: a Study of the Wills and Testaments of Men and Women in London and Bury St
1 Life and Death: A Study of the Wills and Testaments of Men and Women in London and Bury St. Edmunds in the late Fourteenth and early Fifteenth Centuries. Robert A. Wood Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London Royal Holloway, University of London, 2012 2 Declaration of Original Authorship I confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where the work of others has been drawn upon, it has been properly and appropriately acknowledged according to academic conventions. 3 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to investigate the lives of men and women living in London and Bury St. Edmunds in the late fourteenth - early fifteenth centuries. Sources studied include the administrative and legal records of the City of London and of the Abbot and Convent of St. Edmund’s abbey; legislation and court records of royal government and the wills and testaments of Londoners and Bury St. Edmunds’ inhabitants. Considerable research on a wide range of topics on London, but far less work on Bury St. Edmunds, has already been undertaken; however, this thesis is the first systematic comparative study of these two towns. The introduction discusses the historiography and purpose of the thesis; the methodology used, and the shortcomings of using medieval wills and the probate process. Chapter One discusses the testamentary jurisdiction in both towns; who was involved in the will making process, and the role that clerics played as both executors and scribes and how the church courts operated. Chapter Two focuses on testators’ preparations for the afterlife, their choices concerning burial location, funeral arrangements and the provisions made for prayers for their souls.
