' 5 Ji Dvlc Chapter I X BROMLEY COLLEGE MONG the institutions of Bromley there is one which takes a very prominent, if not the foremost place, and that one is Bromley College, or, as it was originally called, Bishop Warner’s Hospital. AIt is notable alike for its antiquity, the original foundation dating back for more than 250 years, for the beauty of its structure and surroundings, and even more for the fact that it has continuously fulfilled, and still fulfils, the original purpose of its founder. There, in cloistered seclusion, but in close contact with the busy world of the High Street and the London Road, live forty widows of diocesan clergymen, each separately housed, and in part maintained, through the munificence of Bishop Warner and subsequent benefactors of the institution. Dr. John Warner, Bishop of Rochester, died in the twenty-ninth year of his bishopric, at the age of eighty-seven, on October 21st, 1666.1 A few weeks before his death he made a will by which he instructed his executors to provide out of his personal estate “ a Hospital or Almeshouse for twentie poore widowes of orthodox and loyall clergiemen, to be seated as near as conveniently may to the Cathedrall Church of Rochester.” By the terms of the will a preference was to be given to widows of clergy in the diocese of Rochester, but, failing a sufficient number of these, the hospital was to be available to clerical widows from any diocese. The will also stipulated that the office of chaplain should be held only by a member of Magdalen College, Oxford, the Bishop being himself a Magdalen man, and at one time Fellow of that College. The sum assigned to this purpose was £8,500. In order to carry out this generous and charitable design his executors (Sir Orlando Bridgeman, Lord Chief Justice; Sir Philip Warwick, Knt., Dr. Thomas Pierce, President of Magdalen, and Dr. John Lee, Archdeacon of Rochester) were directed to provide a suitable building, and, in addition to this capital sum, the testator further charged his private manor of Swayton, Lincolnshire, to the amount of £450 per annum, to supply a pension of £20 a year to each of the twenty widows, and a salary of £5 o a year to the Chaplain. It was not possible, owing to the cramped and confined conditions prevailing in the city of Rochester, to find a suitable site there, and therefore it was determined to erect the building at Bromley, where for so many centuries the Bishops of Rochester had possessed a palace, in which Warner himself had died. 1 The College commemorates Warner’s death on October 14th ; Archdeacon Tait’s investigations have established the 21st as the correct date. 169 *7 ° B r o m l e y , Kent By a deed in the possession of the Lee-Warner family, John Baynes, of London, Gent., conveys the land on which the College was erected to Sir Orlando Bridgeman and others. It is dated June 4th, 1669. The “ Buttings and Boundings,” or, in other words, the boundaries of the property, are precisely defined therein. A special Act of Parliament, passed in 1670, authorised the executors to build anywhere within the diocese, at their discretion, and as the Bishop’s will made no adequate provision for repairs, the executors, with the consent of the heir-at-law, raised an additional £5 per annum from the manor of Swayton, supplemented by a donation of £100 apiece from each of the executors, by which a fee-farm rent of £ 10 per annum was purchased, thus inaugurating the system of voluntary contributions which, from time to time, has been practised ever since, It is probable that the actual structure was begun immediately after the passage of the 1670 A c t; the actual date of its completion is not known. There is a tradition, not supported, however, by any documentary authority, that some part of the materials, especially the stone columns in the original cloister, were brought to Bromley from the ruins of the great Fire of London (1666). The original building consisted of one large quadrangle, with cloisters, which remains to-day almost as it was originally built. Two projecting wings in front serve as the houses of the chaplain and the treasurer. The chap­ lain’s house still fulfils its original purpose, but that of the treasurer has been long ago surrendered for the benefit of the College, and is let at a yearly rental as a private residence. The building is approached through a handsome wrought-iron gate, bearing the date 1666, supported by stone gate-posts surmounted by mitres. The style of the design, however, suggests to expert authorities that the gate is of the Early Georgian period, about 1720, to which the date of the founder’s will has been affixed. The entrance to the quadrangle itself is through a stone archway, over which are placed the arms of the founder impaled with those of his see, surmounted by a mitre, under which is the inscription : “ DEO ET ECCLESIAE. THIS COLLEGE FOR TWENTY POORE WIDOWES (OF ORTHODOXE AND LOYALL CLERGYMEN) AND A CHAPLIN WAS GIVEN BY JOHN WARNER LATE LD BISHOP OF ROCHESTER, 1666.” The archway leads into the cloisters, and abutting on the cloisters are the original twenty houses occupied by the beneficiaries of the bequest.

  • A History of the Town of Keene [New Hampshire]
    BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. 613 part of the township, and ultimately owned several hun­ dred acres there, covering the south end of Beech hill and extending on both sides of the branch, including a large part of the intervale southwest of his cabin. "One of the first things he did was to plant an or­ chard, and some years later, when the trees were partly grown and the Indians began to be troublesome, looking out from his cabin he saw one of the savages cutting down an apple tree. He took down his gun, and that Indian never cut any more trees." "He used to lie in his cabin, or under a brush heap, with his gun, and watch for lurk­ ing Indians while his wife milked the cows." (Heaton tra­ dition.) His log cabin was burned by the Indians when the township was abandoned, in 1747, but he was one of the first to return, and he built the low farmhouse, still stand­ ing on the east side of the street, opposite the site of his log cabin-the second from the old Mount Pleasant tavern -and lived and died there. He was at one time a lieuten­ ant in the militia. It is a tradition in the family that that was the first framed house built in the township-doubt­ less now the oldest house in town-and it is still in pos­ session of his descendants ; but the large old chimney has been removed and two smaller ones substituted. His sons and other descendants afterwards built houses and lived along the same road, towards the branch; and some of the old barns still standing there were built by the elder Heaton.

  • BROMLEY MANOR and PALACE Through the Centuries
    BROMLEY MANOR AND PALACE Through the centuries by PATRICIA E.KNOWLDEN Bromley Borough Local History Society 1996 1 The Palace in c.1900, much as the buildlng is today. 2 3 Bromley Manorand Palace The story of Bromley manor and its palace Stretches back for over 1,000 years. Whether it was based on a Roman estate we cannot teil but, by late Anglo-Saxon times it had an area of 10 ploughlands - or as much arable as 10 teams of oxen could deal with, perhaps 1,800 acres; plus meadow-land, woods and so on. So it was quite a size, much bigger than the parish of Bromley was later on. In the year 862 King Ethelbert granted this estate to one of his courtiers for Services rendered - and Services expected in the future - and his charter describes the boundary.1 Briefly, commencing near Lower Sydenham Station on the boundary of Lewisham it ran along its border and then that of Mottingham to CREG SETNA (now the Crays) and then turned south to FEARN BIORG and on to CYSSE STAN, by WICHAMMESMEARK (mark means boundary) and BIOHHA HAM, back to the beginning. This is not the only charter for Bromley. There are others, including one with the date of AD955 in which Bromley is granted by King Edgar to St.Andrew's Priory at Rochester, the fore-runner of Rochester Cathedral; but the charter is a "forgery" because neither King Edgar nor the principle witness, Archbishop Dunstan, were in Office in 955. Or rather, it is a back-dating of a legitimate Claim when the original papers were missing, as was eventually confirmed in AD998 by King Ethelred.

  • The 1641 Lords' Subcommittee on Religious Innovation
    A “Theological Junto”: the 1641 Lords’ subcommittee on religious innovation Introduction During the spring of 1641, a series of meetings took place at Westminster, between a handful of prominent Puritan ministers and several of their Conformist counterparts. Officially, these men were merely acting as theological advisers to a House of Lords committee: but both the significance, and the missed potential, of their meetings was recognised by contemporary commentators and has been underlined in recent scholarship. Writing in 1655, Thomas Fuller suggested that “the moderation and mutual compliance of these divines might have produced much good if not interrupted.” Their suggestions for reform “might, under God, have been a means, not only to have checked, but choked our civil war in the infancy thereof.”1 A Conformist member of the sub-committee agreed with him. In his biography of John Williams, completed in 1658, but only published in 1693, John Hacket claimed that, during these meetings, “peace came... near to the birth.”2 Peter Heylyn was more critical of the sub-committee, in his biography of William Laud, published in 1671; but even he was quite clear about it importance. He wrote: Some hoped for a great Reformation to be prepared by them, and settled by the grand committee both in doctrine and discipline, and others as much feared (the affections of the men considered) that doctrinal Calvinism being once settled, more alterations would be made in the public liturgy... till it was brought more near the form of Gallic churches, after the platform of Geneva.3 A number of Non-conformists also looked back on the sub-committee as a missed opportunity.

    Rusheen’s Website: www.rusheensweb.com HOMESTEAD LEASES 1885 TO 1914 AND WESTERN LAND LEASES 1903 to 1910. Between 1885 and 1902 1,759 Homestead Leases were granted in the Western Division of New South Wales. From 1903 many of these Homestead Leases were converted into Western Land Leases Starting out on my Family History I looked for Tarangara and was directed to Tarangara run on Para Pastoral Holding and told that this was all that I needed to know. It took time and patience in those days to get to the story of Tarangara - Homestead Lease. The history of all the Homestead Leases is there at the State Archives but to uncover their stories and those of the people who changed western New South Wales we needed the names of the Homestead Lessees and the Homestead Lease numbers. By providing all the original Homestead Lessees and now the transfers of the Homestead Leases and their conversion into Western Land Leases I hope that the full history of the development of western New South Wales can now be told. Between 1885 and 1902 1,759 Homestead Leases were granted in the Western Division of New South Wales. In sharp contrast to the previous land system, every aspect of these Homestead Leases was highly regulated and policed. In August 1885, on the first day of issue, over a million acres of land was taken up as Homestead Leases. From 1903 the majority of the Homestead Leases were converted into Western Land Leases which offered greater security of tenure. In 1884 most of western New South Wales was made up of vast Pastoral Holdings, each Holding being divided into runs.

  • Lost Virginia Records
    English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records compiled by Louis des Cognets, Jr. © 1958, Louis des Cognets, Jr. P.O. Box 163 Princeton, New Jersey This book is dedicated to my grandmother ANNA RUSSELL des COGNETS in memory of the many years she spent writing two genealogies about her Virginia ancestors FOREWORD This book was compiled from material found in the Public Record Office during the summer of 1957. Original reports sent to the Colonial Office from Virginia were first microfilmed, and then transcribed for publication. Some of the penmanship of the early part of the 18th Century was like copper plate, but some was very hard to deaipher, and where the same name was often spelled in two different ways on the same page, the task was all the more difficult. May ths various lists of pioneer Virginians contained herein aid both genealogists, students of colonial history, and those who make a study of the evolution of names. In this event a part of my debt to other abstracters and compilers will have been paid. Thanks are due the Staff at the :Public Record Office for many heavy volumes carried to my desk, and for friendly assistance. Mrs. William Dabney Duke furnished valuable advice based upon her considerable experience in Virginia research. Mrs.Olive Sheridan being acquaillted with old English names was especially suited to the secretarial duties she faithfully performed.

SECOND EDITION, WITH CONSIDERABLE ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS. EMBELLISHED WITH ENGRAVINGS. As the Knowledge of Ancient Things is pleasant, so is the Ignorance as shameful, and oftentimes exposes Men to the Scorn and Contempt of Strangers. PREFACE TO SOMNER’S ANTIQ. OF CANTERBURY. ROCHESTER: PRINTED AND SOLD BY W. WILDASH; SOLD ALSO BY LONGMAN, HURST, REES, ORME, AND BROWN, PATERNOSTER-ROW, LONDON; AND ALL BOOKSELLERS. 1817. <ii> <blank> <iii> ADVERTISEMENT TO THE FIRST EDITION, Published by Mr. T. Fisher in 1772. IN the ensuing work, very frequent are the references to the Registrum Roffense, a book published by John Thorpe, esq.; from the accurate MSS. of his father Dr. Thorpe, who was no less eminent for his knowledge of antiquities, than for his skill in physic: it would be ungrateful in the editor to omit acknowledging, how much labour and expence he has saved, by having an opportu= nity of examining in print, this curious and valuable collection of ancient deeds. He is likewise obliged to the reverend Mr. Aus= ten of Rochester, for some very useful and entertaining articles of information; and it is not without regret that he finds himself not at liberty to insert the names of several other ingenious and learned gentlemen, who have contributed their assistance; and especially of one, whose name would do honour to any publication; and by whose friendly communications, the editor has been enabled to give a clearer and more circumstantial account of some part of the ecclesiastical history of this city, and the neighbouring district, than he could otherwise have done.
