Episcopal Tombs in Early Modern England
Jnl of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 55, No. 4, October 2004. f 2004 Cambridge University Press 654 DOI: 10.1017/S0022046904001502 Printed in the United Kingdom Episcopal Tombs in Early Modern England by PETER SHERLOCK The Reformation simultaneously transformed the identity and role of bishops in the Church of England, and the function of monuments to the dead. This article considers the extent to which tombs of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century bishops represented a set of episcopal ideals distinct from those conveyed by the monuments of earlier bishops on the one hand and contemporary laity and clergy on the other. It argues that in death bishops were increasingly undifferentiated from other groups such as the gentry in the dress, posture, location and inscriptions of their monuments. As a result of the inherent tension between tradition and reform which surrounded both bishops and tombs, episcopal monuments were unsuccessful as a means of enhancing the status or preserving the memory and teachings of their subjects in the wake of the Reformation. etween 1400 and 1700, some 466 bishops held office in England and Wales, for anything from a few months to several decades.1 The B majority died peacefully in their beds, some fading into relative obscurity. Others, such as Richard Scrope, Thomas Cranmer and William Laud, were executed for treason or burned for heresy in one reign yet became revered as saints, heroes or martyrs in another. Throughout these three centuries bishops played key roles in the politics of both Church and PRO=Public Record Office; TNA=The National Archives I would like to thank Craig D’Alton, Felicity Heal, Clive Holmes, Ralph Houlbrooke, Judith Maltby, Keith Thomas and the anonymous reader for this JOURNAL for their comments on this article. -

They were drawn from diverse backgrounds but northerners of yeoman or professional family apparently predominated. Initially they included a substantial group of able non-graduates but the proportion of university-trained clergy had increased to 56% by the early 1630s. The bishops, the greatest patrons of the diocese, favoured men of proven ability. The dean and chapter, also very influential, and lay patrons were more often susceptible to local or personal connections. -

195 Chapter IV Attitudes to Pastoral Work in England. c. 1560-1640. The career structure and material rewards outlined in the preceding chapters are the aspects of the parish ministry which left records obviously capable of analysis and even of measure- ment. No doubt they Shaped the lives and attitudes of the clergy. To see the parish clergy only in these terms, however, is to exclude the pastorate itself, the service which justified the continuance in a Protestant community of a separate order of church officers. Naturally enough the English clergy of the later 16th and early 17th centuries commonly held that theirs was both an honourable and an arduous office, by virtue of the ministry which they performed. The two went together, according to George Downame. "The honour and charge as they be inseperable, so also proportionable; for such as is the weight of the Burden, such is the height of the Honour; and contrariwise." 1 Before the burden and honour are examined as they appeared in the work of the Durham clergy, it would be helpful to know by what standards their efforts were judged. What expectations did clergy and laity entertain of the personal and professional conduct of the pastor? i. Contemporary writing on the pastorate. The most public and formal duties of the minister, those of the liturgy, were laid down in the Prayer Book, although with sufficient ambiguity for both the opponents of vestments 1. G.

Durham Cathedral an Address
DURHAM CATHEDRAL AN ADDRESS DELIVERED SEPTEMBER 24, I879. BY W I L L I A M G R E E NWELL, M.A.. D.C.L.. F.R.S.. F.S.A. THIRD EDITION. WITH PLAN AND ILLUSTRATIONS. Durham : ANDREWS & CO.. 64. SADDLER STREET. 1889. D U R H A M : THOS. CALDCLEUGH, PRINTER. 70. SADDLER STREET. TO THE MEMORY OF William of Saint Carilef THIS ATTEMPT TO ILLUSTRATE THE NOBLE CHURCH WHICH HIS GENIUS AND PIETY HAVE BEQUEATHED TO US IS DEDICATED. 53494 PREFACE. THE following account of the Cathedral Church of Durham was addressed to the members of the Berwickshire Naturalists' Club and the Durham and Northumberland Archaeological and Architectural Society, at a joint meeting of the Societies, held in the Cathedral, on September 24, 1879. This will explain the form under which it appears, and, it is to be hoped, excuse the colloquial and somewhat desultory way in which the subject is treated. It was not the intention of the author of the address, when it was given, that it should appear in any other form than that of an abstract in the Transactions of the Societies to which it was delivered. Several of his friends, however, have thought that printed in externa it might be of service as a Guide Book to the Cathedral, and supply what has been too long wanting in illustration of the Church of Durham. To this wish he has assented, but with some reluctance, feeling how inadequate is such a treatment of a subject so important. Some additional matter has been supplied in the notes which will help to make it more useful than it was in its original form. -

York Clergy Ordinations 1561-1642 77
YORK CLERGY ORDINATIONS 1561-1642 compiled by Claire Cross Borthwick List and Index 24 2000 © University of York 2000 ISBN 0-903857-92-8 ISSN 1361-3014 CONTENTS Introduction iii Abbreviations iv Alphabetical Register of Ordinands 1561-1642 1 Table of York Clergy Ordinations 1561-1642 77 Index 94 INTRODUCTION The Reformation changes of the Henrician period both greatly curtailed the number of candidates seeking ordination in the diocese of York and disrupted the registration of ordinations which in the later middle ages had been systematically recorded in the archiepiscopal registers. There are no records at all of ordinations in the diocese for the reigns of Edward VI or Mary I but soon after Elizabeth's accession from 6 July 1561 lists of ordinations reappear in the York archiepiscopal registers. Archbishop Thomas Young normally held two general ordination ceremonies each year: then, after his death in 1568, Richard Barnes, suffi agan bishop of Nottingham, introduced the practice of officiating at a number of very small special ordination ceremonies, a procedure which Archbishop Edmund Grindal and his Elizabethan successors all favoured, perhaps because it made the close examination of candidates much easier. No record remains of any ordinations conducted by Edwin Sandys, archbishop between 1576 and 1588. When the registration of ordinations begins again with Archbishop John Piers in 1589 they no longer appear in the archiepiscopal registers but solely in the Institution Act Books. The thirty-first of the Canons of 1604 ordained that following the precedent of the ancient fathers of the church sacred orders should only be conferred on the Sundays following the ember days and so put an end to the frequent special ordinations the archbishops had preferred. -
In the 1530S, Shortly Before the Dissolution in 1539, Durham
Durham Cathedral Library from the Dissolution to the Restoration David Pearson The text of a lecture given as part of the Institute of English Studies History of Libraries Research Seminar series, 27 February 2008 In the 1530s, shortly before the dissolution in 1539, Durham Cathedral Priory possessed one of the major institutional libraries of medieval England, with well over 1000 volumes, both manuscript and printed, distributed in various places around the monastery.1 A little under 100 years later, shortly after the turn of the 17th century, the Cathedral Library was described in rather different terms by Robert Hegge: “this book had better fortune in the sea, than the books of Saint Cuthbert have now in his library at Durham, which was once a little Vatican of choice manuscripts, but now rather a [bibliotaphion] than a library: rather a place of sepulchre, than a place to conserve books: for since the art of printing was invented, old manuscripts were bequeathed to the moths: and pigeons, and jackdaws became the only students in church-libraries: and books were wounded with pen-knives for their pictures, with as great cruelty, as Cassia, or Johannes Scotus martyred by their own scholars”.2 The story of the Cathedral Library in the 150 years following the dissolution, like that of a number of other cathedral libraries, is something of a rise and fall from riches to rags and back again, with more than one reversal of fortunes before the relatively calm waters of the later 17th century allowed things to proceed in an altogether calmer and more orderly fashion. -

The first volume of the Marriage Registers of Cumberland is now placed in the hands of the subscribers, and the Editors hope that it will be possible to continue this series until all the Registers of the County have been printed down to the year 1837, when civil registration began. These volumes are issued under the patronage of the Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archcsological Society, who have undertaken to subscribe for thirty copies of each volume—a subsidy which, it is hoped, will enable continuous and steady progress to be made with the work. It has not been thought needful to print the entries verbatim. They are reduced to a common form, and the following contractions have been freely used : w.=widower or widow. p.=of the parish of. co.=in the county of. dioc.=in the diocese of. /ic.= marriage licence. It must be borne in mind that the existing early Registers are themselves but transcripts, made under the order of Elizabeth in 1597, from the original paper Registers. The following general facts in the history of Parish Registers may be usefully noted : Thomas Cromwell, the Vicar General, issued the order for keeping Parish Registers on 29 Sept., 1538. -

This volume consists of such Documents, at length, or in an abridged form, as illustrate the administration of the See of Durham during the episcopate of Dr. Richard Barnes, the second of its bishojjs after the Reformation. Of the Bishop himself it has been deemed expedient to reprint the following brief memoir from the first volume of the History of the County of Durham by Mr. Surtees, omitting, however, the Pedigree of his family. Mr. Hutchinson, in his life of the Bishop, is more diffuse, citing at length many authorities, to which Mr. Surtees contents himself with giving reference. -
T^RADITION Says That the Pilkington Family JL Had Settl
THE EARLY HISTORY OF THE LANCASHIRE FAMILY OF PILKINGTON, AND ITS BRANCHES, FROM IO66 TO I6OO. By Liciit. -Colonel John Pilkington. A Synopsis of the Paper read igth Nov. and jrd Dec., iSgi. 'T^RADITION says that the Pilkington family JL had settled, prior to the time of Edward the Confessor, in that tract of country called Pilkington, four and a half miles south by west of Bury, where their chief occupation was that of following the chase and tilling the ground. 1 The earliest reference to them, however, in the public records is the statement in the Testa dc Nevill that the manor of Pilkington was held by Alexander de Pilkington, under Robert i In the Djinesday Rook of William the Conqueror no reference to the name is met with : in fact there is only a very meagre statement regarding Salford Hundred, in which the vill of Pilkington was situated. The latter survey says : " In Salford Hundred King Edward [the Confessor] held "Salford; also Radcliffe." "Of this manor or hundred the following " knights hold land, by the grant of Roger de Poictou, viz. : Nigel, three "hides and half a carucate ; IVarin, two carucates, and [another] IVarin, "one carucate and a half; GoisfriJ, one carucate, and Game/, two carucates." " To this manor or hundred there belonged 21 berewicks, which were held " by as many thanes for as many manors." Now Pilkington must have been one of these manors [berewicks] , but, as that part of the kingdom was, at the time, reputed to he of little value, and as the original proprietors were left in undisturbed possession, it is easy to understand why so limited a reference is made.
