K the last Annual Meeting, ln-l.l un tho l!)th October, 1«97, t«'« volumes havo boen issued to tho Members. These are volume ^ X X \ I., brin^, (i,,, fourth volume of tho Royalist Composition kipers for Lancashire ; and volume XXXVII., an Index to the ^ills now preserved at the Probate Registry at Chester, 1701 to HIG, letters A to M. 'he first (,f thcs,,, the Royalist Composition Papers, is in continuation of volume XXIX., and has heen edited, as was that vohiin,,, hy the Rev. .1. II. Sinn g. Their \alue and importance as bearing „po,, ,),,. [ j l<un.y ,lf Lanea-hir^ has frequently heen pointed out in the Annual Reports, and it only remains to he said that the matter contained in this volume is fully equal to any of those that have preceded it. The second volume, the Index to the Wills at Chester, was Put m hand rather late in the year, to take the place of another volume which the Council had hoped ,„ ,sslu,, |nu winch was delayed hy unforseen cause-. It was edited by the Honorary Secretary. During the past year the Council has been fortunate enough to secure the servicer- ot a gentleman thoroughly competent to copy and arrange iu alphabetical order tbe various Indexes to the iv /i<7«/rí al' t/i,' S.n iiii/. Wills at Chester to tbe year ls()o. Tlie<c are. now ready for tht; press down to IT'S!I. and th.' succeeding twenty years have' been copied and will very shortly be arranged in proper order, so that, whenever an opportunity occurs, they may be put into type. For the current year a volume of " Feet of Fines," or Final Concord relating to Lanea.shiro, from the earliest date to the end of the reign of Edward J., is being edited by Mr. Farrer, and about half is already in type. The matter contained in this volume should prove of the very greatest value to all interested in the History of Lancashire, in addition to the "Fines " themselves, tho volume will be enriched by a number of very valuable notes, which no one is better able to furnish that Mr. Farrer. In print­ ing these notes tho Council has departed from a rule which has been observed hitherto of printing documents, as far as possible, without annotation ; but it was felt that the notes which Mr. Farrer was able to supply were of such an exceptional character that the Council considered they wore fully warranted in making this departure from their usual rule. Colonel Fishwick is also editing a third volume of the Pleadings ami Depositions in tho Duchy Court of Lancaster for tho reign of Edward VI. to Queen Mary. A portion of this is printed off, and the whole is promised foi' an early date. The Council have several ink-resting and important docu­ ments in view for publication in tin: near future. One of these is the recently discovered volume of Quarter Sessions Records for the town of Manchester, a manuscript which has boon secured by tho Manchester Free Library. The Corporation has undertaken the work of having a fair copy made from the original, and tho Council is glad to bo able to announce that Mr. C. W. Sutton has kindly undertaken the work of editing this valuable local record. Hepnrt uf tln' Snrirtl/. V Major Parker is engaged on the Calendar of the Assize Polls for Lancashire to the reign of Fdward 1., and the Council hopes shortly to he nble to announce it as a. volume for early publication. Th.. second portion of the Index to the Wills at Chester to 17H0 is also in the press. Whilst, presenting this record of active work amongst the documents relating to the History of the two Counties, the Council very much deplore the want of general interest that is shown in the woi k which they have undertaken, and desire to urge once more most stronglv mi each individual member of the Society i be importance of obtaining fresh subscribers to assist them in prosecuting the excellent work which they have in hand.

  • Portrait of a Bowbearer

    Portrait of a Bowbearer

    PORTRAIT OF A BOWBEARER William Bowland Richard Eastwood, the butcher’s son who became Bowbearer of the Forest of Bowland There have been Bowbearers of the Forest of Bowland since the twelfth century. Perhaps the most notorious of these being Nicholas Tempest who was hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn in 1537 for his part in the ill-fated Pilgrimage of Grace, the Catholic revolt against Henry VIII. Thomas Lister Parker (b. 1797) was among the more colourful. His lavish re- modelling of Browsholme Hall led to ruin and bankruptcy while he exploited local history, through his patronage of Thomas Dunham Whitaker, to inflate the glories of his ancestral line. To Lister Parker, we owe the myth of the hereditary Bowbearer – a right he claimed proudly and disingenuously right up to the time of his death in 1858 (his cousin having legally assumed the Bowbearership in 1820 at the time he purchased the Browsholme estate). 1 However, for much of its long history, the Bowbearership – an ancient ceremonial office bestowed upon an official who accompanied the Lord of Bowland hunting and literally bore his bow – has been a quiet affair, held by the heads of worthy local families and sometimes their sons: the Rawlinsons, the Listers, the Fenwicks. On two occasions only in nine hundred years do we see the office retained within families and across generations for any period of time: by the de Boltons in the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth centuries; and by the Parkers in the three centuries after the Restoration. Early Bowbearers appear to have been foresters in fee , holders of their own feudal lands within the Forest.
  • Who Needs a Lord of Bowland?

    Who Needs a Lord of Bowland?

    WHO NEEDS A LORD OF BOWLAND? William Bowland The age of feudalism has passed. We live in an age of democracy and equality. We are all free men and women. So, why on earth does the Forest need a Lord, let alone a 16th Lord also known as the Lord of the Fells with a baby son styled the Master of Bowland? Isn’t it all a bit silly and well, out-of-date? And what is all this stuff about Bowbearers and Chief Stewards? The answer of course is strictly speaking the Forest doesn’t need a Lord at all. No-one likes the idea of someone thinking he is better than the next man or looking down his nose at others. But anyone who thinks today’s Lordship of Bowland is about snobbery misses the point entirely. The Lordship is not a title of nobility. It is a feudal lordship, a piece of ancient property, and it is one of England’s oldest – almost 1000 years old. King William Rufus, son of the Conqueror, bestowed the title on one of his nobles, Roger de Poitou, in the late C11th. There have been more than 40 lords since then, including 16 monarchs (the so-called “Lord Kings of Bowland”), seven dukes, an earl and a baron. After 1885, the Lordship disappeared into a Towneley family trust before being claimed by Lord O’Hagan, a Towneley descendant, in 2008. Like other Lords before me, including the famous Peregrine Towneley in 1835, I became Lord of Bowland by “private treaty”. Like Peregrine, I bought the title but in my case, I did so to prevent it disappearing into the possession of some uncaring rich businessman or foreign buyer.
