T he Council greatly regret that owing to various circum­ stances the publications have fallen very much behindhand in the order of their publication, but they trust that in the future the Members will have no reason to complain on this score. The Index of Obituary Notices for 1882 is ready and will be in the Members’ hands immediately. The Index for 1883 is nearly ready, and this with the Index to Archaeological Journals and Transactions, upon which Mr. Gomme has been engaged for some time, will complete the publications for 1884. The Index of the Biographical and Obituary Notices in the Gentleman’s Magazine for the first fifty years, upon which Mr. Farrar is engaged, has occupied an amount of time in revision considerably greater than was expected. This is largely owing to the great differences in the various sets, no two being alike. No one who has not been in the habit of consulting the early volumes of this Magazine con­ stantly can have any idea of the careless manner in which it was printed and the vast amount of irregularity in the pagination. Mr. Farrar has spared no pains in the revision of these points and the Council confidently expect to be able to present Members with the first volume of this im­ portant work in the course of the present year (1885). A specimen of the first page is given on page 4. 2 The Council being of opinion that a series of short Indexes which were too small to form separate publications would be agreeable to the Members, have commenced a series of “ Occasional Indexes ” with a useful index to the illustra­ tions in the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries, which Mr. Peacock has been so good as to place at their disposal. These “ Occasional Indexes” will also form a medium for the communication of information respecting the work of the Society by the Council to the Members. In consequence of his duties taking him to Germany for a time, Mr. Fenton has been obliged to resign the Honorary Secretaryship. Mr. William Riseley has been so good as to accept the office. Members will therefore oblige by paying their subscriptions to him at the Office of the Society, 8, John Street, Adelphi. As the production of the Index to the Gentleman’s Magazine will be a very costly undertaking, the Council look for the support of the members and trust to receive their assistance in considerably raising the numbers in the subscription list. The General Meeting will probably take place in March, but due notice will be sent to every Member. February, 1885. 3 The Subscription is One Guinea a year, due in advance on the 1st of J a n u a r y , and should be paid either to the Society’s Account at the Union Bank of London, 14, Argyll Place, Regent Street, "W., or by Post Office Order (made payable at the Chief Office) to W. R is e l e y , Hon. Sec., 8, John Street, Adelphi, from whom Report and Prospectuses may be obtained. The Composition fee in lieu of all future subscriptions is Fifteen Guineas.

  • The Winter Camp of the Viking Great Army, Ad 872–3, Torksey, Lincolnshire

Email: d.m.hadley@sheffield.ac.uk Julian D Richards, Department of Archaeology, University of York, The King’s Manor, York YO17EP, UK. Email: [email protected] This paper presents the results of a multidisciplinary project that has revealed the location, extent and character of the winter camp of the Viking Great Army at Torksey, Lincolnshire, of AD 872–3. The camp lay within a naturally defended area of higher ground, partially surrounded by marshes and bordered by the River Trent on its western side. It is considerably larger than the Viking camp of 873–4 previously excavated at Repton, Derbyshire, and lacks the earthwork defences identified there. Several thousand individuals overwintered in the camp, including warriors, craftworkers and merchants. An exceptionally large and rich metalwork assemblage was deposited during the Great Army’s overwintering, and metal processing and trading was undertaken. There is no evidence for a pre-existing Anglo-Saxon trading site here; the site appears to have been chosen for its strategic location and its access to resources. In the wake of the overwintering, Torksey developed as an important Anglo-Saxon borough with a major wheel-thrown pottery industry and multiple churches and cemeteries.

  • Christopher Michael Woolgar: "The Development of Accounts for Private Households in England to C,1500 A.D."
    Christopher Michael Woolgar: "The development of accounts for private households in England to c,1500 A.D." A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Durham, 1986 Abstract The first written accounts for private households in England date from the late twelfth century. They probably derive from a system of accounting based on an oral report, supported by a minimum of documentation, and they were closely associated with a broad change in the method of provisioning households from a dependence on food farms to a network of supply based on purchase. The earliest private household accounts are daily or "diet" accounts, recording purchases alone. From the earliest examples, there is evidence of a "common form", which is adapted during the thirteenth century in the largest households to record consumption as well as purchases. In the fourteenth century in the largest households, probably preceded by developments in the English royal household and the monasteries, the diet account became a sophisticated instrument of domestic management. There is considerable variation in the account between households, the largest households having separate departmental and wardrobe accounts. To use the diet account for planning and budgetting, it was necessary to have a summary of its contents. From the 1320s and particularly in the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries, emphasis was placed on an annual cash, corn and stock account, similar in form to the manorial account, to be set beside the accounts of receivers general and valors to give an overview of the finances of the administration. In the smallest households there is little development in form.

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'.

  • Enclosure & Agricultural Improvement in North-West Lincolnshire from Circa 1600 to 1850
    ENCLOSURE & AGRICULTURAL IMPROVEMENT IN NORTH-WEST LINCOLNSHIRE FROM CIRCA 1600 TO 1850. Thomas M. Smith, MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2012 i Abstract This study sets out to establish the link between enclosure and agricultural improvement in a group of parishes in north-west Lindsey, Lincolnshire between the sixteenth century and the mid-nineteenth century. In particular it emphasises the continuity of enclosure history through time, rather than concentrating only on the period of parliamentary enclosure as has often been the case in the past, and on links to agricultural improvement which include land reclamation, draining and warping. It shows that a simple explanation of enclosure in terms of driving up rents and allowing individual farmers to take their own farming decisions, fails to take into account the particular local circumstances of this area. Using a combination of enclosure documents and related material such as glebe terriers, land tax assessments, census materials, the 1801 agricultural returns and estate papers it sets out to show how agricultural improvement transformed both the landscape and the farming techniques in this area. In this process it covers a range of related topics including landownership, population, and the socio-economic structure of the villages of north-west Lindsey. It shows clearly that in this area enclosure is as much as anything associated with land drainage, and with improvements brought about by warping. These processes were interwoven, and separating enclosure out as a single movement underestimates the complexity of the farming arrangements required to ensure the most productive farming in this area.

  • Naughty Nuns and Promiscuous Monks: Monastic Sexual Misconduct in Late Medieval England
    Naughty Nuns and Promiscuous Monks: Monastic Sexual Misconduct in Late Medieval England by Christian D. Knudsen A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of the Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto Copyright © by Christian D. Knudsen ABSTRACT Naughty Nuns and Promiscuous Monks: Monastic Sexual Misconduct in Late Medieval England Christian D. Knudsen Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto This dissertation examines monastic sexual misconduct in cloistered religious houses in the dioceses of Lincoln and Norwich between and . Traditionally, any study of English monasticism during the late Middle Ages entailed the chronicling of a slow decline and decay. Indeed, for nearly years, historiographical discourse surrounding the Dissolution of Monasteries (-) has emphasized its inevitability and presented late medieval monasticism as a lacklustre institution characterized by worsening standards, corruption and even sexual promiscuity. As a result, since the Dissolution, English monks and nuns have been constructed into naughty characters. My study, centred on the sources that led to this claim, episcopal visitation records, will demonstrate that it is an exaggeration due to the distortion in perspective allowed by the same sources, and a disregard for contextualisation and comparison between nuns and monks. In Chapter one, I discuss the development of the monastic ‘decline narrative’ in English historiography and how the theme of monastic lasciviousness came to be so strongly associated with it. Chapter two presents an overview of the historical background of late medieval English monasticism and my methodological approach to the sources. ii Abstract iii In Chapter three, I survey some of the broad characteristics of monastic sexual misconduct.

Smith Frontmatter More information THE HEADS OF RELIGIOUS HOUSES ENGLAND AND WALES 1377–1540 This final volume of The Heads of Religious Houses: England and Wales takes the lists of monastic superiors from 1377 to the dissolution of the monastic houses ending in 1540 and so concludes a reference work covering 600 years of monastic history. In addition to surviving monastic archives, record sources have also been provided by episcopal and papal registers, governmental archives, court records, and private, family and estate collections. Full references are given for establishing the dates and outline of the career of each abbot or prior, abbess or prioress, when known. The lists are arranged by order: the Benedictine houses (independent; dependencies; and alien priories); the Cluniacs; the Grandmontines; the Cistercians; the Carthusians; the Augustinian canons; the Premonstratensians; the Gilbertine order; the Trinitarian houses; the Bonhommes; and the nuns. An intro- duction discusses the use and history of the lists and examines critically the sources on which they are based. david m. smith is Professor Emeritus, University of York. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86508-1 - The Heads of Religious Houses England and Wales III, 1377-1540 Edited by David M.

It is considerably larger than the Viking camp of 873–4 previously excavated at Repton, Derbyshire, and lacks the earthwork defences identified there. Several thousand individuals overwintered in the camp, including warriors, craftworkers and merchants. An exceptionally large and rich metalwork assemblage was deposited during the Great Army’s overwintering, and metal processing and trading was undertaken. There is no evidence for a pre-existing Anglo-Saxon trading site here; the site appears to have been chosen for its strategic location and its access to resources. In the wake of the overwintering, Torksey developed as an important Anglo-Saxon borough with a major wheel-thrown pottery industry and multiple churches and cemeteries.
