  • Everard Bishop of Norwich L. Landon

    186 EVERARD, BISHOP OF NORWICH. EVERARD BISHOP OF NORWICH. By L. LANDON. Owing to the identity of the name and to the fact that he had been one of the royal chaplains bishop Everard for a long time was affirmed to be Everard the son of Roger de Montgomery, Everard fitz count as he was usually called, till in 1872 a writer in Notes and, Queries adduced arguments which showed this identification to be untenable.' It is not necessary to repeat the arguments here. Since then no attempt has been made to find out who he was. Although there is nothing in the shape of definite proof there are some slight indications which suggest that he may have been Everard de CaIna, who also probably was one of Henry I's chaplains. Bartholomew Cotton' appears to be the only one of the chroniclers to record that bishop Everard at some time in his life had been archdeacon of Salis- bury. It is not easy to find information about arch- deacons at this early,date but it happens that William of Malmesbury3relates a story of a miraculous cure by S. Aldhem performed upon Everard, one of bishop Osmund's archdeacons. To be an archdeacon Everard would be at least 2.5years old and bishop Osmund died in 1099. From these two factors we get the year 1074 for the latest date of his birth, it was probably a year or two earlier. Calne being in the diocese of Salisbury there is nothing improbable in a member of a family taking its name from that place, if destined for the church, being appointed to an archdeaconry of that diocese.
  • Norwich Diocesan Synod

    Norwich Diocesan Synod

    NORWICH DIOCESAN SYNOD Minutes of a meeting held at Northgate High School, East Dereham, NR19 2EU Saturday 23rd March 2019 The Chair was taken by The Revd Canon Sally Theakston (Chair of the House of Clergy) OPENING PRAYERS Opening prayers were led by David Anderson (Repps). 1. THE MINUTES OF THE MEETING HELD ON 13th OCTOBER 2018 Under item 3 on page 1 David Griffith (Thetford and Rockland) stated the amendments made to the minutes for 23rd June 2018 were incorrect and should state the following correction: “…The Standing Advisory Committee (SACRE) is responsible for the production of the locally Agreed Syllabus for RE which is given to schools once the Agreed Syllabus Conference have written it…” The minutes were then approved and signed as a true record. 2. MATTERS ARISING FROM THE PREVIOUS MEETING There were no matters arising. Before commencing item 3 the Diocesan Secretary promulgated the following:- “At its February 2019 group of sessions, held in London, the General Synod resolved that Amending Canon No. 38 be made promulged and executed. Amending Canon No.38 replaces the former Canon B 43 (relations with other Churches) and Canon B 44 (local ecumenical projects) with a new Canon B 43 to be entitled “Of ecumenical relations.” 3. LENT APPEAL 2019 The Bishop of Lynn first asked permission for guest speakers The Revd Canon Richard Bartlett (Director of Mission Engagement at USPG) and Davidson Solanki (USPG Programme Manager for Asia) to present to Synod. Approval was given. 1 The Bishop of Lynn introduced this item by explaining that in the intervening years of supporting Papua New Guinea, this year the chosen 2019 Lent Appeal did not have a direct connection with the Diocese but a close working relationship with USPG and the work they are doing to prevent human trafficking.
  • Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office

    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office

    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom. The digital images were produced as a result of partnership projects with other groups and organizations, so we are not able to supply copies of whole registers (either as hard copies or on CD or in any other digital format), although in most cases we have permission to provide printout copies of individual entries.

    ARCHDEACONRY OF NORWICH The Mitre Benefice These notes are intended to supplement the information given in the PCC document, adding a slightly wider perspective and some additional information. They should be read in conjunction with the fuller description of life in the Diocese of Norwich which can be found at https://www.dioceseofnorwich.org/app/uploads/2020/12/Our-Life-Together-2021.pdf The Benefice and this appointment – a note from the Bishop of Norwich The appointment of a new vicar for the Mitre benefice is a key strategic appointment, not just for the benefice itself but as a significant partner with the diocese, heading up a resource church with considerable potential. The Mitre has been through a number of challenges in the past two years. Rapid expansion in 2013 – 2017 was a great blessing, but the structures and processes were not always in place to underpin and secure a larger church structure. The current team have worked hard to put some of this in place, but the new incumbent will want to ensure that the finance, pastoral care and governance are able to support the bold vision of church-planting and disciple-making. The previous incumbent had a vision for church planting and revitalisation that informed the bid for national funding from the strategic development fund. So strong was his commitment to this that he took on the role of Diocesan Director of Church Planting and Revitalisation in addition to his role as Vicar – a workload that proved to be unsustainable. This arrangement resulted in some blurring of boundaries between the mission of STN and the diocesan Church Planting and Revitalisation Programme, which has taken some untangling.
  • The Canterbury Association

    The Canterbury Association

    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

Nicholas Dixon November 2018 ii Thesis Summary The Activity and Influence of the Established Church in England, c. 1800-1837 Nicholas Andrew Dixon Pembroke College, Cambridge This thesis examines the various ways in which the Church of England engaged with English politics and society from c. 1800 to 1837. Assessments of the early nineteenth-century Church of England remain coloured by a critique originating in radical anti-clerical polemics of the period and reinforced by the writings of the Tractarians and Élie Halévy. It is often assumed that, in consequence of social and political change, the influence of a complacent and reactionary church was irreparably eroded by 1830.

    Diocese of Norwich Undergraduate Training Scheme School Chaplin – Thorpe St Andrew High School

    Diocese of Norwich Undergraduate Training Scheme School Chaplin – Thorpe St Andrew High School There is a growing appreciation of the role of school Chaplains within secondary schools and of the important bridge they can create between the educational and church environments. The parishes of Thorpe St Andrew, Brundall and Blofield in the Diocese of Norwich are working together to enhance the work of the chaplaincy team through the undergraduate training scheme. The ecumenical chaplaincy Team at Thorpe St Andrew School and Sixth Form has always identified three strands to their work: support for pupils (pastoral and spiritual), support for staff and support in the growth of disciples within the school. We are looking for an enthusiastic and innovative undergraduate who will be willing to join the team and contribute to its development - extending the ministry that we are able to offer within the school and beyond. Our work currently involves providing a ‘space’ each week where questions of faith are explored and also more informal contact as members of the team move around the school. We would like to see the role of the chaplaincy extended to supporting our local primary schools which feed into the high school and with which we have excellent relationships. We have identified the transition from year 6 to year 7 as a key focus for us. Office space and comprehensive support will be provided. For an informal conversation about the role, please contact Peter Leech (01603 715136 or [email protected]) “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.
