OPENING of the ROPER VAULT in St. Dunstan's Canterbury and Thoughts on the Burial of William and Margaret Roper
OPENING OF THE ROPER VAULT in St. Dunstan's Canterbury and thoughts on the burial of William and Margaret Roper. by Hugh O. Albin From Saturday 15 July until Wednesday 26 July 1978, the vault of the Roper family remained open in St. Dunstan's Church, Canterbury, for the purpose of making a complete record of its contents. This first archaeological survey ever made was arranged by me to mark the 500th anniversary of the birth of Sir Thomas More. The work was carried out by members of the Canterbury Archaeological Trust under their director Tim Tatton-Brown in conjunction with the church architect Peter Marsh, whose Dutch assistant, Henk Strik made detailed drawings of the Chapel and vault, as well as a complete photographic record. The archaeological report tells us that the present Roper chantry chapel attached to the south-east side of St. Dunstan's Church is almost entirely the building that was erected circa 1524. Of the first chapel, built in 1402, there probably remain only the three arches, one on the west and two on the north, which join the chapel to the main church building. The pilgrim looking at the outside of the Roper Chapel should notice that it is made of fine red bricks with Caen stone quoins and window surrounds. The windows are all typical of the early 16th century. The bricks are large (6.5 x 12 x 25 cms) and each laid entirely in an English bond. Red brickwork of this type does not occur commonly in Canterbury until the late 15th century. -

SOME NOTES on the FAMILY HISTORY of NICHOLAS LONGFORD, SHERIFF of LANCASHIRE in 1413. the Subject of This Paper Is the Family Hi
47 SOME NOTES ON THE FAMILY HISTORY OF NICHOLAS LONGFORD, SHERIFF OF LANCASHIRE IN 1413. By William Wingfield Longford, D.D., Rector of Sefton. Read March 8, 1934. HE subject of this paper is the family history of T Sir Nicholas Longford of Longford and Withington, in the barony of Manchester, who appears with Sir Ralph Stanley in the roll of the Sheriffs of Lancashire in the year 1413. He was followed in 1414, according to the Hopkinson MSS., by Robert Longford. This may be a misprint for Sir Roger Longford, who was alive in Lan cashire in 1430, but of whom little else is known except that he was of the same family. Sir Nicholas Longford was a knight of the shire for Derbyshire in 1407, fought at Agincourt and died in England in 1416. It might be thought that the appearance of this name in the list of sheriffs on two occasions only, with other names so more frequent and well known from the reign of Edward III onwards Radcliffe, Stanley, Lawrence, de Trafford, Byron, Molyneux, Langton and the rest de.ioted a family of only minor importance, suddenly coming into prominence and then disappearing. But such a con clusion would be ill-founded. The Longford stock was of older standing than any of them, and though the Stanleys rose to greater fame and based their continuance on wider foundations, at the point when Nicholas Long ford comes into the story, the two families were of equal footing and intermarried. Nicholas Longford's daughter Joan was married to John Stanley, son and heir of Sir John Stanley the second of Knowsley. -

II. Its Effect. in 1558, William Allen, One Time Canon of York Ancl
2t2 Il terzo Convegno degli Archivistr Ecclesiastici II. THE ARCHIVES IN fHE KEEPING OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF WESTMINSTER Rev. BnnNanD FrsHER, Archivista dell'Archidiocesi di Westminster The Archives in the keeping of the Archbishop of Westmin- ster, or what are more usually called the Westminster Archives, form a unique collection of ecclesiastical documents of the first importance. Owing to the break in our Catholic history with the coming of the Reformation in England, there are however very few medi- aeval documents in this collection. There is a fairly extensive collection of papers relating to Selby Abbey in Yorkshire dating from the 13th to the 16th century. There are some presentments for heresy in the diocese of Norwich in the later half of the 15th century and an early manuscript copy of the Charter of the Chap- ter of rvl/ells Cathedral. The collection becomes a coherent body of docrments from 1558. On November 17th 1558 Elizabeth I imprisoned all the Cath- olic bishops, with the exception of Bishop Kitchin who conform- ed to the State religion. No attempt was made to appoint any- one to replace the bishops and the religious history of the early years of Elizabeth's reign is largely one of drift. Rome was wait- ing perhaps in the hope that Elizabeth might be won over while the vacillating Philip II of Spain was striving successfully to dis- suade the Pope from any action which might offend Elizabeth. Very soon .< the starvation policy,, of Elizabeth began to show its effect. In 1558, William Allen, one time Canon of York ancl Principal of St. -

'Libera Nos Domine'?: the Vicars Apostolic and the Suppressed
‘Libera nos Domine’? 81 Chapter 4 ‘Libera nos Domine’?: The Vicars Apostolic and the Suppressed/Restored English Province of the Society of Jesus Thomas M. McCoog, SJ It would have been much to the interests of the Church if her history had not included the story of such difficulties as those which are the subject of this chapter. Her internal dissensions, whether on a large or small scale, bear the same relation to the evils inflicted on her from without, as diseases do to wounds won in honourable fight. Thus did Edwin H. Burton open the chapter ‘The Difficulties between the Vicars Apostolic and the Regulars’ in his work on Bishop Challoner.1 The absence of such opposition may have made the history of the post-Reforma- tion Roman Catholic Church in England more edifying, but surely would also have deprived subsequent scholars of fascinating material for dissertations and monographs. In his doctoral thesis Eamon Duffy remarked that, although tension between Jesuits and seculars was less than in previous centuries, ‘the bitterness … which remained was all pervasive … No Catholic in England escaped untouched’.2 Basil Hemphill, having noted that ‘most unfortunate jealousies persisted between the secular and the regular clergy … and with an intensity which seems incredible to us today’, considered their explication essential if history wished to be truthful ‘and if it be not truthful it is of no use at all’.3 A brief overview of uneasy, volatile and tense relations between Jesuits and secular clergy in post-Reformation England will contextualize the eigh- teenth-century problem. 1 Edwin H. -
“Mary Roper Clarke Bassett and Meredith Hanmer's
Mary Roper Clarke Bassett and Meredith Hanmer’s Honorable Ladie of the Lande Eugenio OLIVARES MERINO University of Jaén ABSTRACT In his 1577 English translation of Eusebius’ History of the Church, Meredith Hanmer makes reference to “an honorable Ladie of the lande,” whose identity still remains unknown. My design here is to gather the scarce and scattered available evidence, so as to propose a name that is rather reasonable. In order to contextualize the conclusions, reference will also be made to such issues as women’s literacy and religious controversies in Elizabethan England. KEYWORDS: Mary Roper Clarke Bassett, Meredith Hanmer, translation, Greek, Eusebius Mary Roper,1 Sir Thomas More’s granddaughter by his beloved Margaret, is especially known for an English translation of her grandfather’s Latin book about Christ’s Passion, written while prisoner in the Tower of London.2 This work was included in William Rastell’s edition of More’s English Works (1557), pp. 1350- 1404, and it was the only text by a woman to appear in print during the reign of Mary Tudor (Demers 2001: 5). The editor was enthusiastic about the chance he had to include Mary’s translation, for it seemed to be no translation at all: “so that it myghte seme to have been by hys [Thomas More’s] own pen indyted first, and not at all translated: suche a gyft hath she to followe her grandfathers vayne in writing” (Rastell 1557: 1350). But it is Mary’s partial translation of Eusebius’ History of the Church that I will bring forth into the readers’ consideration, both for it and for the light it might 1 The date of Mary’s birth is not known. -
