    English Book Owners in the Seventeenth Century: A Work in Progress Listing How much do we really know about patterns and impacts of book ownership in Britain in the seventeenth century? How well equipped are we to answer questions such as the following?: What was a typical private library, in terms of size and content, in the seventeenth century? How does the answer to that question vary according to occupation, social status, etc?

Our current state of knowledge is both imperfect, and fragmented.

THE WALDEN LANDSCAPE IN THE EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTERS AND ITS ANTECELENTS Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London by John Louis Mnkk Gulley 1960 ABSTRACT This study attempts to describe the historical geography of a confined region, the Weald, before 1650 on the basis of factual research; it is also a methodological experiment, since the results are organised in a consistently retrospective sequence. After defining the region and surveying its regional geography at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the antecedents and origins of various elements in the landscape-woodlands, parks, settlement and field patterns, industry and towns - are sought by retrospective enquiry. At two stages in this sequence the regional geography at a particular period (the early fourteenth century, 1086) is , outlined, so that the interconnections between the different elements in the region should not be forgotten.

Sir Roger was thirty-seven at the time of his marriage, Sh Roger's mother liked to be attended by a young lady in waiting, and IsabeUa Saunder was performing this function in 1633, possibly because her father had ruined himself over the New River.

Straitness of circumstances seems to have made Lady IsabeUa very careful over household management and keeping accounts.

  • The Religion of Sir Roger Twysden (1597-1672): a Case Study in Gentry Piety in Seventeenth-Century England
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society THE RELIGION OF SIR ROGER TWYSDEN (1597-1672): A CASE STUDY IN GENTRY PIETY IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLAND SUE PETRIE If piety is characterized by a habitual reverence and obedience to God, then the baronet, Sir Roger Twysden, squire of East Peckham, is seen today as a fine example of this virtue. Alongside those attributes of integrity, diligence and an enquiring mind, which he ascribed to Sir Roger in his biography, Jessup included the qualities of a Roman citizen: pietas, gravitas and prudentia.1 Such qualities, allied to a temperament containing a 'certain slow-moving, deep-thinking element',2 have led historians such as Everitt to cast him as a con- servative, moderating influence on extreme religious opinions. With- in the wide spectrum of differing religious beliefs of the seventeenth century Sir Roger Twysden is now seen as holding the middle ground - the via media - of Anglicanism between the extreme positions of Presbyterianism and Catholicism. There seems to be a general consensus amongst his biographers that he was ahead of his time in both promulgating moderation and shunning doctrinal dispute in his writings. It is the moderation of Sir Roger which is seen as except- ional at a time when a serious commitment to faith was far more commonplace than today. Little has been written about the piety and personal beliefs of individual laymen who lived in the late Elizabethan and early Stuart period. Contemporary historians have engaged their energies instead in discussion about the dominant theological issues.

  • The Diary of Isabella, Wife of Sir Roger Twysden Baronet, of Royden Hall
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 51 1939 ( 113 ) THE DIARY OF ISABELLA, WIFE OF SIR ROGER TWYSDEN, BARONET, OF ROYDEN HALL, EAST PECKHAM, 1645-1651 BY THE REV. F. W. BENNITT, M.A. INTBODUCTION. THIS Diary of Lady Twysden's is in the British Museum, Additional Manuscripts numbered 34169 ; it was sold at Sotheby's to the Museum in 1892. Isabella was the third and youngest daughter of Sir Nicholas Saunder of Nonsuch, near Swell in Surrey. Born in 1605, she married in 1635 and died in 1657. Sir Roger was thirty-seven at the time of his marriage. Sir Roger's mother lilted to be attended by a young lady in waiting, and Isabella Saunder was performing this function in 1633, possibly because her father had ruined himself over the New River, Isabella inherited the heraldic achieve- ments of the Saunder family, as her only brother died un- married, but was heir to nothing else. Sir Nicholas had been a partner with Sir Hugh Myddleton when in 1607-13 he carried out the New River Scheme for providing London with water. Straitness of circumstances seems to have made Lady Isabella very careful over household management and keeping accounts. Sir Roger was arrested in April 1642 and imprisoned by the Parliament for his share in supporting the Petition of Kent, which asked that all things should be done according to law. His estates were sequestrated and Lady Isabella was granted a fifth part of the incomings for her maintenance at Roydon Hall. His Journal is printed in the first four volumes of Archceologia Cantiana.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION. THE valuable treatise which is now for the first time committed to the press is the work of one of the most laborious and judicious antiquaries that the seventeenth century produced. Many of our countrymen, of various ranks and in various branches of learning, were indeed distinguished at that period for a wide and sound eru- dition, and for a generous devotion to historical inquiry, which have never been surpassed by any generation of scholars. It was the age which comprehended the great names of Coke and Bacon, and Camden, Selden, Somner, Spelman, Evelyn, Digby, D'Ewes, Ash- mole, Dugdale, Junius, Usher, Gill, Cotton, Savile, Whelock, and, though last not least, Twysden. Yet, amidst all this company of earnest, learned, and accomplished men, sir Roger Twysden occupies no secondary place. Like Selden and sir Symonds D'Ewes, he was engaged in the business of active political life, during the most exciting and troublous period of our history: he was a country gentleman, deeply mixed up with the affairs of his county; a careful landlord, responsible for the conduct of a large estate, and the welfare of a numerous tenantry; a jiistice of peace, and in the commission of oyer and terminer; a commissioner in the matter of ejected ministers; a deputy lieutenant at a time when lieutenancy was really a military function, and imposed other duties than wearing an uniform at a levee; last of all, he was a husband, and the father of CAMD. soc. b Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.
