  • St Marylebone Parish Church Records of Burials in the Crypt 1817-1853
    Record of Bodies Interred in the Crypt of St Marylebone Parish Church 1817-1853 This list of 863 names has been collated from the merger of two paper documents held in the parish office of St Marylebone Church in July 2011. The large vaulted crypt beneath St Marylebone Church was used as place of burial from 1817, the year the church was consecrated, until it was full in 1853, when the entrance to the crypt was bricked up. The first, most comprehensive document is a handwritten list of names, addresses, date of interment, ages and vault numbers, thought to be written in the latter half of the 20th century. This was copied from an earlier, original document, which is now held by London Metropolitan Archives and copies on microfilm at London Metropolitan and Westminster Archives. The second document is a typed list from undertakers Farebrother Funeral Services who removed the coffins from the crypt in 1980 and took them for reburial at Brookwood cemetery, Woking in Surrey. This list provides information taken from details on the coffin and states the name, date of death and age. Many of the coffins were unidentifiable and marked “unknown”. On others the date of death was illegible and only the year has been recorded. Brookwood cemetery records indicate that the reburials took place on 22nd October 1982. There is now a memorial stone to mark the area. Whilst merging the documents as much information as possible from both lists has been recorded. Additional information from the Farebrother Funeral Service lists, not on the original list, including date of death has been recorded in italics under date of interment.

  • National Sample from the 1851 Census of Great Britain List of Sample Clusters
    NATIONAL SAMPLE FROM THE 1851 CENSUS OF GREAT BRITAIN LIST OF SAMPLE CLUSTERS The listing is arranged in four columns, and is listed in cluster code order, but other orderings are available. The first column gives the county code; this code corresponds with the county code used in the standardised version of the data. An index of the county codes forms Appendix 1 The second column gives the cluster type. These cluster types correspond with the stratification parameter used in sampling and have been listed in Background Paper II. Their definitions are as follows: 11 English category I 'Communities' under 2,000 population 12 Scottish category I 'Communities' under 2,000 population 21 Category IIA and VI 'Towns' and Municipal Boroughs 26 Category IIB Parliamentary Boroughs 31 Category III 'Large non-urban communities' 41 Category IV Residual 'non-urban' areas 51 Category VII Unallocable 'urban' areas 91 Category IX Institutions The third column gives the cluster code numbers. This corresponds to the computing data set name, except that in the computing data set names the code number is preceded by the letters PAR (e.g. PAR0601). The fourth column gives the name of the cluster community. It should be noted that, with the exception of clusters coded 11,12 and 91, the cluster unit is the enumeration district and not the whole community. Clusters coded 11 and 12, however, correspond to total 'communities' (see Background Paper II). Clusters coded 91 comprise twenty successive individuals in every thousand, from a list of all inmates of institutions concatenated into a continuous sampling frame; except that 'families' are not broken, and where the twenty individuals come from more than one institution, each institution forms a separate cluster.

  • Here Is Also Pedestrian Access from Cable St and the Highway Via St George’S Gardens, a Public Park
    The Centre for Theology & Community East Crypt, St George-in-the-East 14 Cannon Street Road London, E1 0BH We are five minutes’ walk from Shadwell DLR and Overground stations. St George-in-the- East’s main entrance is on Cannon Street Rd, but (during daylight hours) there is also pedestrian access from Cable St and The Highway via St George’s Gardens, a public park. CTC’s entrance is at the south-east corner of the Church, marked above with a blue arrow. We encourage visitors to walk, cycle or use public transport to visit us. There is a small church car park, accessed from Cannon Street Rd, but parking spaces are limited and on a first-come-first-served basis. St George-in-the-East serves the diverse Church of England Parish of St George-in-the-east with St Paul. The church was built in the early 18th Century, designed by Nicholas Hawskmoor, an assistant of Sir Christopher Wren. It was badly damaged by a bomb during the Blitz in 1941 and a new church was rebuilt within the original walls, reconsecrated in 1964. It is a Grade 1 Listed building. It remains open daily for worship and prayer. For more on the church please see stgite.org.uk The Crypt was used for burials for over 200 years, as well as briefly serving as an air-raid shelter 1942-1945, but in 1960 it was cleared and became a performance space. In 2005-6, it was remodelled to create an office space and separate nursery. CTC occupies the East Crypt and is delighted to be part of the ongoing story of St George- in-the-East.

  • ANGLO-CATHOLIC HISTORY SOCIETY Newsletter—December 2012
    ANGLO-CATHOLIC HISTORY SOCIETY Newsletter—December 2012 EDITORIAL At time when a new Archbishop of Canterbury has just been appointed it is appropriate that one of our members should publish a biographical study of one of his predecessors, Cosmo Gordon Lang who held the office from 1928 – 1942. Members will recall that the author, Father Robert Beaken, lectured to the Society in February 2008. His talk was entitled, “Their Proper Place. Archbishop Lang and Anglo-Catholicism”. The book itself has already been favourably reviewed in the Daily Telegraph by Christopher Howse who reports “I am immensely enthusiastic about Robert Beaken’s Cosmo Gordon Lang…it establishes a vivid and convincing picture of the man at the helm of the Church of England…” A review by our chairman is printed below and I have negotiated a special reduced rate for purchase of the book directly from the publishers – see the enclosed flier and order form. HENRY FYNES-CLINTON Another of our members, Father John Salter, has also published an important book at the present time. It comes in the form of the Society’s latest Occasional Paper and is a personal memoir of a leading Anglican Papalist, Father Henry Fynes-Clinton. Copies are available to members from the Secretary at £18 including postage. It is the first study to be published about Fr Fynes, a significant figure in Anglo-Catholicism of the first half of the Twentieth Century. The front of this Newsletter reproduces a snapshot taken of Father Fynes in old age which appears on the cover of the book in colour.

  • Newsletter for July 2012
    NEWSLETTER FOR JULY 2012 Farewell to NTMTC; welcome to Wapping High School In 2005 the dioceses of London and Chelmsford converted the eastern part of our crypt (at significant cost, and under lincence from hte parish) to provide accommodation for the North Thames Ministerial Training Course, a non-residential course for ordinands, and more recently for Readers/Licensed Lay Ministers too, from both dioceses. Their office moved here from North London, and it then also became one of the three evening teaching centres - the others being Chelmsford Cathedral and St Paul's Onslow Square. This marked a clear and welcome commitment to offer training in an East London setting - important for candidates from this area (including the Barking episcopal area of Chelmsford) but also for those from more suburban parishes. It was on this basis that the decision was made to bring the Stepney Area Reader training scheme, previously free-standing, under its aegis, so that Readers and ordinands might train together, and other area schemes in the diocese followed suit. NTMTC, while retaining its distinct identity is now part of the regional training partnership known as St Mellitus College, in which the major partner is St Paul's Theological Centre, initially established by Holy Trinity Brompton. From this autumn, all administration will be centred on newly-converted premises in West London, at St Jude Courtfield Gardens, and teaching here will also cease. This is partly for the sake of greater integration and more efficient use of resources, but is also finance-led at a time when there is a national crisis in the funding of ordination training (including the withdrawal of grants for some students).
