  • Gb 1472 Ecr60
    Introduction The records listed in this volume are what might be described as central records of the College – the minute books, the registers, the statutes and similar material, generated directly by the Provost and Fellows and the New Governing Body. There are, however, equally central records listed elsewhere. The Foundation and Consolidation Charters, and other royal charters, were listed by Noel Blakiston as ECR 39. He included other central records, particularly relating to the building of the College, in ECR 38 and ECR 49. Accounting records to 1642, including the audit rolls up to 1505, when they were replaced by books, are listed as ECR 61 and later accounting records as ECR 62. Papers produced by individual Provosts, Vice-Provosts and Fellows (though there are very few of this last category) will be found as COLL/P, COLL/VP or COLL/FELL as appropriate. The papers of officers such as the Bursar (COLL/B), Registrar(COLL/REG) and other College servants are also separately listed. The catalogue of the College’s archives (now COLL/ARCH/1) compiled in 1724 by Thomas Martin (1697 – 1771) mentions the central records that existed at the time but does not list them individually. Binding, indexing and annotation of the registers in particular show clearly that their importance and value were recognised. Seal books, minute books and lease books were also carefully preserved. However, unbound papers were less well served by a storage system that was essentially organised by estate and were allowed to accumulate in considerable confusion until very roughly sorted by Noel Blakiston into boxes covering ten year periods.

  • How Lyminge Parish Church Acquired an Invented Dedication
    ANTIQUARIANS, VICTORIAN PARSONS AND RE-WRITING THE PAST: HOW LYMINGE PARISH CHURCH ACQUIRED AN INVENTED DEDICATION ROBERT BALDWIN For more than a century, the residents of Lyminge, on the North Downs in East Kent, have taken for granted that the parish church is dedicated to St Mary and St Ethelburga. Yet for many centuries before that, it was known as the church of St Mary and St Eadburg. The dedication to St Mary, the Virgin, is ancient and straightforward to explain, for it appears in the earliest of the surviving charters forLyminge dated probably to 697. 1 The second part of the dedication, whether this is correctly St Ethelburga or St Eadburg, is also likely to pre-date the Norman Conquest for both are clearly Anglo-Saxon names. But the uncertainty over the dedication invites investigation to understand who the patron saint actually is and the cause of the change, which is an unusual event by any standards. At first sight, St Ethelburga is apparently also easy to explain. Although there were a number of St Ethelburgas, the one traditionally connected with Lyminge was Queen LEthelburh2, daughter of LEthelberht I, King of Kent, and widow of Edwin, King of Northumbria. The story of her marriage to Edwin, his conversion to Christianity and the beginning of the conversion of Northumbria in the 620s was recorded by Bede, writing around a century later.3 AfterEdwin's death in battle in 633, Bede noted that LEthelburh returned to Kent where her brother Eadbald had become king. Other sources4 recounted that the king allowed his sister to retire to his estate at Lyminge where she established a 'minster'5 and subsequently died in 647.6 A dedication to St Ethelburga makes sense in the historical context ofLyminge.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

  • Elizabethan and Jacobean Deer Parks in Kent Pittman
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ELIZABETHAN A N D J A C O B E A N D E E R P A R K S I N KENT SUSAN PITTMAN Although many researchers have contributed to the knowledge and understanding of the number, characteristics, landscape, management and ethos of medieval deer parks in other counties, there has been little coverage of deer parks in Kent.1 This paper aims to redress the imbalance somewhat, concentrating on the deer parks in Kent during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I. The trigger for the choice of period was the list of parks, which appeared in William Lambarde's^ Perambulation of Kent published in 1576, with a second edition in 1596.2 These lists and five contemporary maps were useful preliminary sources to aid the identification of parks and acted as a starting point in establishing the number of parks, to which others were added from evidence emerging from a wide range of primary sources. Lambarde's lists included disparked parks which no longer held deer, and by examining these and tracing the histories of individual parks through the fragmentary evidence that survives, a cnide assessment can be made about whether the number of active parks, still containing deer, was stable, fluctuating, decreasing or increasing. The paper concludes with a discussion about the distribution, location, density, shape, size and longevity of the parks in Elizabethan and Jacobean Kent. Lambarde's listings and contemporary cartographic evidence The only contemporary textual source containing information about parks in Kent is Lambarde's Perambulation.

Orne) was founded c. 1020 by William I de Bellême. Both Dugdale and Du Monstier printed William’s foundation charter from an inspeximus by Peter II de Valois (1340– 1404), count of Alençon, dated 29 September 1400, in an inspeximus by Henry V dated at Rouen, 11 April 1420.1 The abbey had two daughter houses in England: Folkestone priory in Kent, founded by Nigel de Monville and his wife Emma in 1095 (Monasticon, iv. 673–5, no. ii); and Stogursey priory in Somerset, apparently founded by William of Falaise early in the reign of Henry I. While Folkestone survived the dissolution of alien priories in the fifteenth century (VCH Kent, ii. 236–8), Stogursey did not. In 1439 £25 a year was being paid from Stogursey’s estates to Humfrey, duke of Gloucester, and by March 1441 the estates in Somerset had been assigned to Henry VI’s new foundation of Eton 1 Norman Roll 8 Henry I pt 1, C64/13, mem. 7; Dugdale, i. 989–90; repr.
