  • 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.

  • References to South Elmham Minster in the Medieval
    REFERENCES TO SOUTH ELMHAM MINSTER IN THE MEDIEVAL ACCOUNT ROLLS OF SOUTH ELMHAM MANOR byJOHNRIDGARD,M.A.,PH.D.,F.R.HIST.S. INTHEHIGHand late Middle Ages, it was the practice every Michaelmas for very detailed enquiries to be made into the financial transactions of a manor conducted during the previous twelve months and for the data acquired to be collated, audited and converted into a permanent record, the annual compotusor account roll. Forty-fiveaccount rolls of the manor ofSouth Elmham from the period 1324to 1483have survived (all but four' nowform part of the Adair Collection2held by the SuffolkRecord Officein Ipswich). In them are to be found virtually all the medievalreferencesto South Elmham Minster. That the papers of the Adair family contained information about the minster was recognisedover a century ago. Writing in these Proceedingsin 1864,3Mr B.B. Woodward of Bungay4 recorded that the building and the precinct were called by the names of 'Old Minster' and 'Minster Yard' in 'all the court rolls &c.' (sic).He was unable to discover 'in any of the old records in the muniment room of Flixton Hall, which I was permitted by Sir Robert Adair to inspect very carefully,the least fragment of informationwhich could either solveor direct my inquiries'. Mr Woodward's disappointment with the scant reward for his labour still leaps fresh from the page. The evidence is indeed slender. Unfortunately, it was not the function of any manorial officer,the court steward or the scrivener for example, to busy himself with anything not directly connected with manorial administration, unless instructed otherwise by his employer.The place in history or the physical conditionof an unprofitable relic was no more necessarily the professional concern of the medieval accountant than of his modern counterpart.

  • 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.

It does not exceed the prescribed word limit for the relevant Degree Committee. 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.

  • The Early History of Bacton Church C. Harper-Bill
    Proceedings of the SUFFOLK INSTITUTE of ARCHAEOLOGY AND HISTORY • ' • Volume XXXVII Part 2 1990 Proceedings of the SUFFOLK INSTITUTE of ARCHAEOLOGY AND HISTORY • 4 Volume XXXVII Part 2 1990 THE EARLY HISTORY OF BACTON CHURCH by CHRISTOPHER HARPER-BILL, B.A., PH.D., F.R.HIST.S. IT IS NOTORIOUSLY difficult to reconstruct the early history of the majority of English parish churches. Until the advent of bishops' registers, which in the diocese of Norwich are extant only from the early 14th century, there are few notices of those churches which were not appropriated to religious houses, whose rights and revenues as corporate rectors are recorded in those cartularies which happen to have survived. The history of the church of Bacton, in the hundred and rural deanery of Hartismere, might be expected to be obscure. It is mentioned in Domesday Book, where it is noted that before the Conquest there were attached to it twenty-four acres and that it brought to its lord three shillings profit (D.B., f. 426b). It is listed in the Taxatio Ecclesiastica, the survey authorised in 1291 by Pope Nicholas IV, as a secular rectory worth £20 per annum, unencumbered by any pension or portion due from its parson to a monastic house (Taxatio, 129b). It is surprising, however, that in the Valuationof Norwich, an earlier papal assessment made in 1254, it is one of very few churches noticed therein for which no assessment is given, and this suggests some uncertainty over its revenues (Lunt 1926, 429). An explanation is provided by a long series of documents preserved, albeit in confused order, in the cartulary of Binham priory in Norfolk, which illuminate the history of the church from the late 12th to the late 13th centuries.

    The Rt Revd Dr Alan Winton Bishop of Thetford Herfast House, 5 Vicar Street Wymondham, Norfolk, NR18 0PL Tel: 01953 528010 [email protected] www.dioceseofnorwich.org January 2021 Priest-in-Charge of the prospective Gunton, Hopton and Corton benefice Gunton, Corton, Hopton Dear colleague, Thank you for your interest in this post, as together we seek to discern who God may be calling to serve as the next Priest-in-Charge of the prospective Gunton, Hopton and Corton benefice. These notes are intended to supplement the information given in the Parish Profile, adding a slightly wider perspective with some further information. The Parishes and this job These two benefices have begun working together since the departure of their incumbents, but part of the challenge for the person appointed will be to deepen the friendship and collaboration between the three parishes, whilst recognising the need for each church to retain its own identity and particular vocation. There are opportunities to serve and reach out to both the resident population, as well as the many visitors to this part of East Anglia. Central to the role of all our clergy is the need to encourage and nurture the vocation of the lay members of our churches, recognising that ministry and mission belong to all God’s people. In part, this is a theological imperative, but it is also driven by the need to rethink and refocus ministry in a period that is challenging for the church as it is for every other voluntary organisation and business. The Diocese is at an interesting and exciting point with a new vision emerging under a still relatively new diocesan bishop.
