Is this an allusion to this saint’s namesake, Nicholas Postgate? Another dedicated pastor martyred in old age, and a fellow victim of the Popish Plot, was St David Lewis. A Jesuit active for 30 years in and around his home town of Abergavenny, he was known as the Father of the Poor. St David was the last Catholic martyr in Wales, and was hanged, drawn and quar- tered at Usk on 27 August 1679. The southern Welsh borders were, in penal times, a Catholic stronghold to rival north-west England. Jesuit, Franciscan and Benedictine missions kept the faith alive, and Abergavenny is a good place to explore this rich history. A hidden chapel there, where St David celebrated Mass, has been discovered in the attic of an old house, Gunter Mansion. An appeal is under way for its restoration. A SHORT WALK away is the parish church of Our Lady and St Michael, which reflects local Catholics’ surging confidence after the restoration of the hierarchy in 1850. Here St David has a chapel dedicated to him with a fine wooden statue and a painting.

Passages from the thesis may not be copied or closely paraphrased without the written consent of the author. William Bernard Ullathorne and the Foundation of Australian Catholicism 1815-1840 PAUL COLLINS A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University March 1989 This Thesis is entirely my own work. ABSTRACT William Bernard Ullathorne was Vicar General of New South Wales from 1832 to 1841. While Catholics had arrived in the First Fleet in 1788, it was not until the 1830s that the church's ministerial structure was put on a permanent footing. In order to place the decade of the 1830s in context, I have outlined the early history of Catholicism in Australia and examined why Fathers Therry and Conolly failed to put down permanent roots. The thesis then goes on to argue that Ullathorne was the key person in establishing permanent ecclesiastical structures. The Catholic Church had begun in Australia in 1820 as an official convict chaplaincy. Church-state relationships were of fundamental importance. It was Ullathorne who negotiated a working relationship with the colonial government of New South Wales. The thesis argues that his success in Australia was based on his own clerical professionalism. The professional clergyman was a newly emerging species in the 19th century.

  • Turnham, Margaret H. (2012) Roman Catholic Revivalism
    Roman Catholic Revivalism: A study of the area that became the Diocese of Middlesbrough 1779-1992 Margaret H. Turnham, B.Ed., M.Th. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. July 2012 i Abstract This thesis seeks to provide a grassroots study of the diocese of Middlesbrough (1779-1992), in order to contribute to the history of the English Catholic community since it emerged from the Penal Times. Secondly, it is an examination of the manifestation of revivalism and renewal in Catholic devotional practice. The geographical extent of the study covers an area of Yorkshire with a strong recusant history, and that period has been well-served in Catholic historiography. However, writing on the period following the easing of the Penal Laws on Catholics and into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is remarkable for the paucity of references to the diocese and the area that it covers. Therefore this study sheds light upon a particular Catholic community that has been largely invisible to historians. Although the Catholic community itself might appear to be invisible, the devotional practice within it offers many insights, such as the extent to which the social culture influenced the practice of faith. Therefore it teases out and examines the changing nature of devotional practice, and compares it to aspects of Evangelical revivalism that provided the surrounding religious culture. It also examines the influences that came to bear upon the community itself, assessing their importance in the revival and renewal of faith of the people within it. By examining the history of Catholic devotional practice in this area of Yorkshire, it comes to the conclusion that revivalism and renewal are integral elements in Catholic devotion and as a result Catholics and Evangelicals have more in common with each other than their adherents have been ready to acknowledge.

THE YORKSHIRE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY- Founded 1863. Incorporated 1893. RECORD SERIES, Vol. LIX. FOR THE YEAR 191 8. INQUISITIONS POST MORTEM RELATING TO YORKSHIRE, OF THE REIGNS OF HENRY IV AND HENRY V. KDITED BY W. PALEY BAILDON, F.S.A., AND J. W. CLAY, F.S.A. PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY. 1918. PREFACE The present volume contains all the inquisitions post mortem, proofs of age and assignments of dower, relating to Yorkshire, for the reigns of Henry IV and Henry V, that are contained in the Chancery series. That series formerly included also the inquisitions ad quod damnum, which have now been made into a separate class, and are therefore not dealt with here. In view of the very full introduction to Vol. xii of the Record Series, it seems unnecessary to add to this volume any introduction on similar lines. The whole class of Chancery inquisitions post mortem is under arrangement; the documents are now arranged in files numbered from the beginning of each reign. The documents themselves, however, have not so far been renumbered, and still have the old system of numbering, beginning a new serial with each regnal year. It has therefore been thought better not to give the old serial number, in view of a probable renumbering at no distant date.

  • A Maritime History of the Port of Whitby, 1700-1914
    A MARITIME HISTORY OF THE PORT OF WHITBY, 1700-1914 - Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London STEPHANIE KAREN JONES UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON 1982 2 A MARITIME HISTORY OF THE PORT OF WHITBY, 1700-1914 ABSTRACT This study attempts to contribute to the history of merchant shipping in a manner suggested by Ralph Davis, that 'the writing of substantial histories of the ports' was a neglected, but important, part of the subject of British maritime history. Rspects of the shipping industry of the port of Whitby fall into three broad categories: the ships of Whitby, built there and owned there; the trades in which these vessels were employed; and the port itself, its harbour facilities and maritime community. The origins of Whitby shipbuilding are seen in the context of the rise to prominence of the ports of the North East coast, and an attempt is made to quantify the shipping owned at Whitby before the beginning of statutory registration of vessels in 1786. A consideration of the decline of the building and owning of sailing ships at Whitby is followed by an analysis of the rise of steamshipping at the port. The nature of investment in shipping at Whitby is compared with features of shipowning at other English ports. An introductory survey of the employ- ment of Whitby-owned vessels, both sail and steam, precedes a study of Whitby ships in the coal trade, illustrated with examples of voyage accounts of Whitby colliers. The Northern Whale Fishery offered further opportunities for profit, and may be contrasted with the inshore and off - shore fishery from Whitby itself.
