The 7th bell is interesting, as showing that Mears was still keeping open at Gloucester the Rudhalls' foundry which he had acquired. The lettering is Rudhall's. The old 5th bell (now the 7th) was inscribed, as Prattinton tells us, THOMAS BATESON JOHN HALL & JOSEPH HAWOOD 1740 On the bell frame is incribed JoHN JACQUES JuNR. Church Bell Hanger, GLOUCESTER, July 7th, 1842 The 7th bell is an ugly straight-shouldered one ; the wheel has been repaired. 1 and 2 have angular cannons and an iron ring round the stock. All the stays of the other six are broken, and the whole belfry is very dirty (1901). 1552 : ' iij bells hanginge in the steple . the parisshe doth owe for castyng one of the bells the some of xxxiij s. iiij d.' 1740: ' 5 bells.' V.O.H. Worcs. iii. p. 118. Noake, Rambler in Worcs., ii. 11. 154, quotes the inscription on the 3rd. H.B.W., 1901. At the district church of SS. Matthias and George, Astwood Bank, built in 1884, is one bell. FINSTAL. St. Godewald. In the old church, one bell recast in 1914; in the new, one small bell, presumably also modern. Both are difficult of access. The church is not mentioned by Prattinton, or by Cotton in his History of Bromsgrove, and there are no other records. FLADBURY. St. John Baptist. 6+1 bells. 1.

Sanctus bell : The date of this bell is somewhat puzzling. Edward Gregson was Rector 1503-1557, and Habingdon states that he 'gave a saint's bell to the chancel.' It cannot therefore be earlier than 1503. But the cross, and so far as it. is possible to judge, the lettering, are those used by John Sturdy of London (1440-1458). It is worth noticing that the sanctus bell is not mentioned in 1552. Can it possibly have been cast between that year and 1557, i.e., in Queen Mary's reign~ The inscription. precludes the possibility of its being a second hand belL 1552 : ' FLADEBURTE iij bells in the stepull '. 1740: '6 Bells.'

Noake, Rambler in Worcs., i. p. 343, mentions a tradition that in 1723 one of the bells, being broken, was given to a. travelling journeyman who professed himself a bell founder, to be recast; he carried it off, but was never heard of again, This of course can only be true if there were more than two bells at that time.

Sir John Lyttleton was born in 1516, knighted in 1565, died at Frankley 15 Feb. 1591, and was buried at Halesowen. He married Bridget daughter of Sir John Pakington, and had six sons and four daughters. See Nash, i. p. 493. 1740: '1 Bell'. Parkes (Brit. Mus. Add.

The former treble, recast by John Rudhall about 1814, has since been stolen. It may be conjectured that it originally bore John Martin's favourite inscription' Soli Deo gloria pax hominibus.' For the 3rd. cf. Himbleton ; for the 5th, Bosbury, Hereford­ shire. 1552 : 'Yn the Steple iiij bels, a sawnce bell, j lyche bell, a sacryng bell.' Inscriptions given by Prattinton (1814}, but not quite accurately; also by Noake (Rambler in Worcs.), ii. p. 201, who states that there are six bells, but gives the inscriptions on five only, which he numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 6. The 3rd (or rather 1st) was therefore stolen previously to 1854. V.O.H. Worcs., iv. p. 89. H.T.T., 1877. GRAFTON MANOR. There is a bell hanging in an inaccessible position in a turret on the roof of the old chapel ; also a small blank bell used for domestic purposes. The former may be of some antiquity, even if it is not the ' altar bell ' which Nash (i. p. 158) states to have been made in 1571. GRIMLEY. St. Bartholomew. Six bells. 1. THE GIFT OF R.

    BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. 613 part of the township, and ultimately owned several hun­ dred acres there, covering the south end of Beech hill and extending on both sides of the branch, including a large part of the intervale southwest of his cabin. "One of the first things he did was to plant an or­ chard, and some years later, when the trees were partly grown and the Indians began to be troublesome, looking out from his cabin he saw one of the savages cutting down an apple tree. He took down his gun, and that Indian never cut any more trees." "He used to lie in his cabin, or under a brush heap, with his gun, and watch for lurk­ ing Indians while his wife milked the cows." (Heaton tra­ dition.) His log cabin was burned by the Indians when the township was abandoned, in 1747, but he was one of the first to return, and he built the low farmhouse, still stand­ ing on the east side of the street, opposite the site of his log cabin-the second from the old Mount Pleasant tavern -and lived and died there. He was at one time a lieuten­ ant in the militia. It is a tradition in the family that that was the first framed house built in the township-doubt­ less now the oldest house in town-and it is still in pos­ session of his descendants ; but the large old chimney has been removed and two smaller ones substituted. His sons and other descendants afterwards built houses and lived along the same road, towards the branch; and some of the old barns still standing there were built by the elder Heaton.

    The Story of a Worcestershire Harris Family – Part 2: the Siblings

    Foreword Through marriage, the male line of descent of our Harris family has Our work on Part Two of our story has brought an added bonus. By links with Clark, Matthews, Price, Jones and Graves families. delving more deeply into the lateral branches of our tree, our findings have thrown new light on the family of our first known ancestor, John Through the siblings of the Harris males and the families of their Harris, who married Mary Clark in Eastham on 30 December 1779. spouses, we are also linked to such diverse family names as Apperley, Baldwin, Birkin, Boulton, Bray, Browning, Butler, Craik, Brian Harris, Cowbridge, February 2012 Davies, Davis, Garbett, Godfrey, Gore, Gould, Griffiths, Hall, Harrod, Hehir, Homer, Hughes, Moon, Passey, Pitt, Postans, Pound, Preece, Prime, Robotham, Sewell, Skyrme, Sprittles, Stinissen, Thomas,Thurston, Tingle, Turner, Twinberrow, Ward, Yarnold and many more. They are part of a network of Harris connections which takes us beyond the boundaries of Worcestershire, Herefordshire and the rest of the British Isles to Belgium, Australia, Canada and the USA. It may come as a surprise that two of the siblings of Edward James Harris who emigrated to Canada before WWI had already married and started a family in England before leaving these shores. They were George and Edith. Even more surprisingly, Agnes and Hubert, who arrived in Canada as singletons, chose partners who were – like themselves – recently arrived ex-pats and married siblings from the same family of Scottish emigrants, the Craiks.

  • Lime Kilns in Worcestershire

    Lime Kilns in Worcestershire

    Lime Kilns in Worcestershire Nils Wilkes Acknowledgements I first began this project in September 2012 having noticed a number of limekilns annotated on the Ordnance Survey County Series First Edition maps whilst carrying out another project for the Historic Environment Record department (HER). That there had been limekilns right across Worcestershire was not something I was aware of, particularly as the county is not regarded to be a limestone region. When I came to look for books or documents relating specifically to limeburning in Worcestershire, there were none, and this intrigued me. So, in short, this document is the result of my endeavours to gather together both documentary and physical evidence of a long forgotten industry in Worcestershire. In the course of this research I have received the help of many kind people. Firstly I wish to thank staff at the Historic Environmental Record department of the Archive and Archaeological Service for their patience and assistance in helping me develop the Limekiln Database, in particular Emma Hancox, Maggi Noke and Olly Russell. I am extremely grateful to Francesca Llewellyn for her information on Stourport and Astley; Simon Wilkinson for notes on Upton-upon-Severn; Gordon Sawyer for his enthusiasm in locating sites in Strensham; David Viner (Canal and Rivers Trust) in accessing records at Ellesmere Port; Bill Lambert (Worcester and Birmingham Canal Trust) for involving me with the Tardebigge Limekilns Project; Pat Hughes for her knowledge of the lime trade in Worcester and Valerie Goodbury

  • The 1641 Lords' Subcommittee on Religious Innovation

    The 1641 Lords' Subcommittee on Religious Innovation

    A “Theological Junto”: the 1641 Lords’ subcommittee on religious innovation Introduction During the spring of 1641, a series of meetings took place at Westminster, between a handful of prominent Puritan ministers and several of their Conformist counterparts. Officially, these men were merely acting as theological advisers to a House of Lords committee: but both the significance, and the missed potential, of their meetings was recognised by contemporary commentators and has been underlined in recent scholarship. Writing in 1655, Thomas Fuller suggested that “the moderation and mutual compliance of these divines might have produced much good if not interrupted.” Their suggestions for reform “might, under God, have been a means, not only to have checked, but choked our civil war in the infancy thereof.”1 A Conformist member of the sub-committee agreed with him. In his biography of John Williams, completed in 1658, but only published in 1693, John Hacket claimed that, during these meetings, “peace came... near to the birth.”2 Peter Heylyn was more critical of the sub-committee, in his biography of William Laud, published in 1671; but even he was quite clear about it importance. He wrote: Some hoped for a great Reformation to be prepared by them, and settled by the grand committee both in doctrine and discipline, and others as much feared (the affections of the men considered) that doctrinal Calvinism being once settled, more alterations would be made in the public liturgy... till it was brought more near the form of Gallic churches, after the platform of Geneva.3 A number of Non-conformists also looked back on the sub-committee as a missed opportunity.
