Bowdon, Dunham Massey. Hale, Hale Barns, Peel Causeway, Ringway DireUory.] ALTRINCHAM. I99 BOWDON, DUNHAM MASSEY. HALE, HALE BARNS, PEEL CAUSEWAY, RINGWAY. Altrincham is a market town and chapefry in the parish of Bowdon and hundred of Bucklow, situated on the Une of the South Junction RaUway. The Duke of Bridgewater's Canal skirts the township at Broadheath, where there are extensive warehouses and coal wharfs. It is 8 miles S.S.W. from Alanchester, 7 north from Knutsford, 30 N.E. from Chester, 11| from Warrington, 25 from LiverpooL 31^ from Bolton, and 193| from London. The township comprises 657 acres, and contained, in 1851, a population of 4488, in 1861 6,628, and in 18711 8,478—3,958 males and 4,520 females—thus showing an increase in twenty years of 3,990. When the census of 1871 was taken, we find the township of Altrincham contained 1,871 separate families, 1,686 imhabited houses, 90 uninhabited, and 21 building. The market is held on Tuesday, and the fairs AprU 29, August 5, and November 22, for cattle, toys, &c. Hamon de Alassey, in the time of Edward I. granted many privileges to the inhabitants of the town—amongst others, a guild mercatory, or Society of Free Traffic, with freedom from tolls throughout the barony, &c. A court leet is held by the Earl of Stamford and Warrington, who is lord of the manor: the chief officer is styled mayor, but does not exercise any magisterial functions. The market haU and town haU were erected in 1849 by the Earl of Stamford and Warrington. It is a handsome brick building, Avith stone facings, and has a clock and beU turret. The assembly room measures 66ft. by 30ft. Petty sessions are held once a month ; the commissioners of inland revenue meet at stated periods. Altrincham is included in the seventh circuit of towns, under the County Court Act, for the recovery of debts not exceeding £50. The Altrincham and Bowdon Literary Institution was established in 1847. The present handsome and commodious structure was erected in 1852 at a cost of £774. The Ubrary contains upwards of 1,600 volumes, and there is a spacious newsroom .suppUed with the leading provincial and London papers. Lloyd's hospital and dispensary Avas erected by pubUc subscription in 1853, at a cost of £600—of Avhich sum Mrs. Lloyd contributed £300, and at her death bequeathed £1,000 for its benefit. Dunham Park is the finest seat in the neighbourhood, but there are many handsome residences that border the toAvn, chiefiy occupied by Alanchester merchants, the gardens of which display great taste. The labouring class are principally occupied in agriculture ; and the many market gardens in the district supply the Manchester markets Avith a large amount of produce. St. George's church, erected in 1799 by subscription, is a plain brick building : the liAing is a perpetual curacy in the gift of the vicar of Bowdon of the annual value of £150. St. John's Church, Ashley road, a handsome and commodious stone edifice, Avith tower and spire, was erected by public subscription in 1866, the site of which was given by the Earl of Stamford and Warrington. The other places of worship, Avith their ministers, wiU be found immediately following. A British school was erected near Ashley road in 1860, at a cost of £2,500, obtained by subscription; and there are schools for instructing the humbler classes of children, and several superior private seminaries. Bowdon is a township and parish, with the chapelries of Altrincham and Carrington. The township of Bowdon comprises an area of 828 acres, the population of wliich, in 1851, was 1,164 ; in 1861, 1827; and in 1871, 2,262, thus showing an increase in the last twenty years of 1,098. By the same census return (1871) we find that there were 398 inhabited houses, 21 uninhabited, 6 in course of erection, and 424 separate families. It is in the Altrincham Union, East Frodsham deanery, Chester archdeaconry, and hundred of Bucklow, situated on the river BoUin, and is a station on the Alanchester South Junction and Altrincham line of railway, 9 miles from Manchester, and may now be considered a portion of the town of Altrincham. The Earl of Stamford and AVarrington is lord of the manor and chief landowner. The soU is principaUy of a light sandy nature, weU adapted to the growth of the potato, which is cultivated very extensively in the district. Within the last fcAv years numerous tasteful viUas have been erected in the suburbs of the town, which are chiefly occupied by the merchants and wealthy tradesmen of Mandiester. The parish church of St. Afary, seated on 200 ALTRINCHAM. [WorralVs a considerable elevation, is in the perpendicular or third pointed period style of architecture. The old church, said to have existed prior to the Conquest, was partiaUy razed in 1858, and the present one, which is considerably larger, erected. The portions of the late edifice which had been preserved have been restored, and the carved oak ceilings of the side aisles of the old building are retained. It consists of a nave, chancel, side aisles, transepts, and tower. In the church are several handsome monuments and tablets, principaUy to the Langhams, Booths, and Asshetons, members of the Stamford and Warrington family. The Uving is a vicarage in the gift of the Bishop of Chester. The tithes are commuted at £401 per annum. The fees amount to about £80, Avith residence, and 51 acres of glebe land. The Venerable WiUiam PoUock, D.D., Archdeacon of Chester, is the present vicar. The other places of worship AviU be found immediately foUoAving. A grammar school was founded here in 1600, and the school house was re-built in 1670, and again in 1806. The charities are numerous, several benefactors having left, by wUl, bread to be given away to the poor every Sunday for ever. Clothing is also distributed occasionally. The recipients are included in the several townships in the parish. Hale is an agricultural township, in the parish of Bowdon, comprising an area of 3,679 acres, and a population in 1851 of 996 ; in 1861, 1,160 , and in 1871, 1,711 inhabitants— Aiz., 811 males and 900 females ; 359 separate famUies, 336 inhabited houses, and 17 uninhabited. The Earl of Stamford is lord of the manor. The township adjoins that of Altrincham. The hamlet of Hale Barns is 2 mUes from Altrincham, 10 from Mannchester, and 7 from Knutsford. Ringway is a hamlet, about 3 miles from Altrincham. Here is a Chapel of Ease, erected in 1720, by Lord Crewe. Lord Egerton is patron of the Uving, which is a perpetual curacy. Rev. H. A.

It incorporates comparable data from the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and the Elizabeth I. Much of the analysis is quantitative in nature: chapters compare the appointments of justices of the peace during the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, and reveal that purges of the commissions of the peace were far more common than is generally believed. Furthermore, purges appear to have been religiously- based, especially during the reign of Elizabeth I. There is a gap in the quantitative data beginning in 1569, only eleven years into Elizabeth I’s reign, which continues until 1584. In an effort to compensate for the loss of quantitative data, this dissertation analyzes a different primary source, William Lambarde’s guidebook for JPs, Eirenarcha. The fourth chapter makes particular use of Eirenarcha, exploring required duties both in and out of session, what technical and personal qualities were expected of JPs, and how well they lived up to them.

  • DISSERTATION-Submission Reformatted
    The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 By Robert Lee Harkins A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor David Bates Fall 2013 © Robert Lee Harkins 2013 All Rights Reserved 1 Abstract The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 by Robert Lee Harkins Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair This study examines the problem of religious and political obedience in early modern England. Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief. Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

  • Country Iioijs1 of Greater Mancheste
    COUNTRY IIOIJS1 OF GREATER MANCHESTE * P .•» I COUNTRY HOUSES OF GREATER MANCHESTER EDITORS :J.S.F. WALKER & A.S.TINDALL (;itiL\n<it MANCHESTER ARCHAEOLOGICAL UNIT 1985 osi CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT The country house is part of the diverse and rich heritage of Greater Manchester. This volume follows the development of the country house from the Middle Ages to the present day, using a combination of .archaeological excavation, documentary research and survey to present a coherent study of a building type which reflects the social and economic development of the community in a singularly direct way. By their survival they .demonstrate the entrepreneurial skills of the owner and the abilities of those artisans who built and maintained them. The form and function of the country house change over the centuries, and the fabric of individual buildings mirrors these changes and encapsulates much of the history of the time. Many of our country houses are in good hands, well maintained and with a secure future. Many others described in this volume are already lost, and even the land upon which they stood has been so disturbed as to allow no further site investigation. Their loss, in many cases, was inevitable but I hope that this publication will create an awareness that others, too valuable to be allowed to disappear, are at risk. The protection and refurbishment of old buildings is costly, but I am confident that present conservation policies, allied with improving public and private attitudes towards preservation, have created a strong body of opinion in favour of the constructive re-use of the best of those which survive.
