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'.

  • February 2020
    Rector’s Letter During February each year the Priory holds a service which is one of the most important events on the local calendar – the Great Gale Service. This year it is on Sunday 9th February at 10.30 am. It is always on the nearest Sunday to the anniversary of the night of the Great Gale in 1871. Everybody in Bridlington and the surrounding area is particularly welcome to attend the Priory and take part in this special service. Part of the service will be about remembering. We shall remember the 70 people who lost their lives on that night and 30 ships that were wrecked. We shall remember the selfless heroism of those who took part in the rescue. And we shall also remember how many of the ships were scandalously overloaded and how the disaster spurred on Samuel Plimsole to press for the statutory regulation of the safety and sea-worthiness of merchant vessels. The service will not be all about the past, though. It will also be about the present. Bridlington’s current Lifeboat coxswain, Steve Emmerson, will present a review of the lifeboat year. We shall give thanks for the present crew and seek God’s blessing on all they do to secure the safety of those imperilled by the fearsome majesty of the sea. The RNLI is honoured as an integral part of the fabric of our nation; and pride in the Bridlington Branch is rightly a significant part of our civic identity. Please express that pride and concern by being part of the service on the 9th February.

  • Rector's Letter
    Rector’s Letter Coronavirus restrictions continue to have a massive impact on church activities. If the East Riding goes in to Tier 2 or 3, the impact will be even greater. As at the time of writing, we are still in Tier 1. Nevertheless, even if we remain in Tier 1 Christmas at the Priory will be very different this year. There will be no Nativity Service at the Priory this year. There will be no Midnight Mass. There will be no congregation present at either Christingle or Nine Lessons & Carols. These services will go ahead, but will be livestreamed only and will be subsequently available on YouTube. The Christingle will be on Sunday 20th December during the afternoon. The Nine Lessons & Carols will be on Christmas Eve at 4.00pm. To see these services – or any other services from the Priory – see Friends of Bridlington Priory Church Facebook page or the Bridlington Priory Church YouTube channel. Watch this space for when it will be possible to collect a “Christingle in a Bag” from the Priory prior to the Christingle service so that you can participate at home. Even in the midst of these restrictions, though, church life develops. We are really excited to announce that the Priory is now recruiting for a new Girls’ Choir. This will be additional to the Boys’ Choir. It is hoped the first time the Girls’ Choir will lead a service will be on Advent Sunday, 29th November. Helen Hughes has become Churchwarden again at the Priory after a two year Sabbatical, during which time she has continued to be the Events Manager.

  • 182 Chapter 1: Medieval Pilgrimage
    NOTES Chapter 1: Medieval Pilgrimage 1. See E. D. Hunt, ‘Were there Christian Pilgrims before Constantine?’ in J. Stopford (ed.), Pilgrimage Explored (Woodbridge, 1999). 2. For the wider context in which early Christian pilgrimage developed see the writings of Peter Brown and also R. A. Markus, The End of Ancient Christianity (Cambridge, 1990). 3. This derives much of its point from the Latin pun on vidisse (to have seen) and vixisse (to have lived). 4. The term memoria was still used to describe a saint’s shrine a thousand years later. 5. Because Christ had been circumcised, it was possible to claim that His foreskin had been preserved; this was exhibited at St John Lateran in Rome, where there was also a piece of His umbilical cord. There were relics of the blood Christ shed at the crucifixion, and also of the Virgin’s hair, tears and breast milk. 6. For Willibald’s travels, see the translation in T. F. X. Noble and T. Head, Soldiers of Christ: Saints and Saints’ Lives from Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages (London, 1995). 7. The Saxon schola may have been the oldest of them; later English chron- iclers attributed its foundation to Ine of Wessex, who died at Rome in 726, or to Offa of Mercia. It was rebuilt after a fire in 817. 8. Simeon had previously been at Rome, and that some people at Rome may have known about the cult of St James is suggested by a letter written in 956 to Pope John XIII by Cesarius, bishop of Tarragona, who said he had been consecrated to his see at Compostela, described as James’s ‘apostolic see’.

  • U DFJ Records of Francis Johnson 1939-2010 & Partners, Architects
    Hull History Centre: Records of Francis Johnson & Partners, Architects U DFJ Records of Francis Johnson 1939-2010 & Partners, Architects Historical Background: Francis Johnson and Partners, Architects (1937-Present) This firm of architects was established by local architect Francis Johnson in 1937. Based in Bridlington, the office was originally in Manor Street before being moved to its permanent location at Craven House, 16 High Street, in 1940. In the early years there was just Francis and a secretary working at the firm. In 1947 a draughtsman, Brian Smith, was appointed by Francis to help him cope with an increasing workload. The first architect to be appointed was Clive Barnby in 1953 and he remained with the firm until 1971. Tim Pool was the next architect to be appointed, he was with the firm from 1961 until 1967. In 1963 a third architect, Malcolm D. McKie, was appointed and his business acumen proved indispensable to the running of the firm. Malcolm McKie remained at the firm until his retirement. The 1970s and 1980s saw a massive increase in work for the firm, and in 1989 Digby Harris was appointed as the firm's newest architect. In 1991 the leadership of the firm jointly passed to Digby Harris and Malcolm G. Stather. Other employees of the firm have included Roger J.M. Goldthorpe and V. Kemp-Webster. As would be expected, most of the firm's work was located in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Staple commissions tended to be located in Bridlington, Driffield, Filey and the surrounding villages. North Yorkshire also provided the firm with a large number of commissions centred round York itself, Malton, Whitby and Scarborough.

  • [2019] ECC Yor 9 in the Diocese of York in the Consistory Court The
    Neutral Citation No [2019] ECC Yor 9 In the Diocese of York In the Consistory Court The Parish of Bridlington, St Mary Bridlington Priory Church 1. By a Petition dated 5th September 2019 and filed online, the Rev Matthew Pollard, Rector, Anthony Halford and Janet Wattleworth, churchwardens, all of the Church of St Mary Bridlington, otherwise known as Bridlington Priory Church, sought a faculty permanently to remove to the diocesan furnishing store or to dispose of by sale the ebonised wooden altar cross on the dossal shelf of the reredos 2. The matter was considered by the DAC on 3rd September 2019. Minutes of the meeting record that “The reredos was constructed in 1875 in Caen stone to the design of George Gilbert Scott. The four outer panels represented the four evangelists, whilst the central panel represented the Agnus Dei. At some time in the past a 4’6” high ebonised cross of unknown provenance (and of lesser quality) had been placed in front of the reredos so that the Agnus Dei was almost completely obscured. The parish now wished to remove the cross so that the reredos could be seen as originally intended. There was no record of any previous faculty having been granted for the introduction of the cross and the Committee agreed that it could be disposed of by sale (the parish did not wish to retain it and the Church Furnishings Officer advised that it would not be suitable for taking to the diocesan store for re-use elsewhere). 3. Although the matter was referred to me immediately on the Online Faculty System, I was informed by the faculty clerk in the Registry that a number of objections had already been received.

  • Susan and David Neave, 'The Early Life of William Kent'
    Susan And David Neave, ‘The Early Life of William Kent’, The Georgian Group Jounal, Vol. VI, 1996, pp. 4–11 TEXT © THE AUTHORS 1996 THE EARLY LIFE OF WILLIAM KENT Susan and David Neave ntil recently information on William Kent’s early life has been limited to the record of his baptism at Bridlington and anecdotes provided by George Vertue.1 But work being undertaken by the authors for a new history of Bridlington has unearthed valuable Uinformation on Kent’s family, childhood home and probable early patrons. The identification of Bridlington as the birthplace of William Kent is based on a newspaper report of 1713 and a brief account of his life in an early nineteenth century history of the town.2 There is no entry recording the baptism of a William Kent in the registers of St Mary’s, Bridlington (Bridlington Priory), then the town’s only parish church, but there is one recording the baptism of William the son of William and Esther Cant on 1 January 1685/6.3 This entry has been assumed to refer to the artist,4 following the evidence of the Bridlington historian Thompson, who noted in 1821 that ‘The family name, which he modernised to KENT, was originally CANT’.5 It is shown below that Thompson was right, and that the artist only changed his surname to the seemingly more acceptable Kent just before he went to Italy in 1709. Bridlington parish registers provide further information about the Cant family.6 William Cant senior married Esther Shimmings on 27 November 1684 and in addition to William, they had a daughter Esther who was baptised 29 March 1692.7 The mother Esther Cant died in July 1697 when her son William was eleven, and her daughter only five.8 On 8 August 1714 the daughter Esther married Richard Peirson, a Bridlington sadler.9 They had three children, William, Esther and Mary.10 William Cant senior was buried on 23 May 1739 having outlived his wife by over forty years.11 There is no will for Cant amongst the probate records at York but another line of enquiry gave an important lead.

  • The List Below Contains the 903 Records Referred to in GS2161, Along with 11 Records from the Diocese in Europe
    Question 91 Revd Charlie Skrine (London) The list below contains the 903 records referred to in GS2161, along with 11 records from the Diocese in Europe. The list has been produced in response to Synod question 102 Skrine: “Thank you for publishing last year the names of the 680 churches with 25 or more under 16s, and for the excellent GS2161 for this Synod. Noting that the data in GS2161 is based upon an updated list of 903 parishes, would you please publish (on the website and the noticeboard) the names of those 903 parishes (perhaps alphabetically within each of the three different attendance bands as before)?” This list is based on the Statistics for Mission 2018 dataset; those interested in using the list are encouraged to read the published methodology, which can be found in the Statistics for Mission report (pp. 43-46): https://www.churchofengland.org/media/18763 GS2161 concentrates on the 2018 “Average Sunday attendance”, based on the 2018 October count; this includes attendance at Sunday church services and Sunday fresh expressions of Church. A somewhat longer list would result if attendance at midweek services and midweek fresh expressions of Church, which is also collected as part of Statistics for Mission, were included. A slightly different list would be generated if figures from different years were used, in part because of normal fluctuations in attendance. Most of these records relate to a single church, though some are joint records. Most of these records are figures as supplied by churches, though some are estimated (based on responses from those churches in previous years).

  • PARISH DEACON's LETTER a Couple of Weeks
    PARISH DEACON’S LETTER A couple of weeks ago I was asked to be a mentor. “Mentoring” is a term that is used to describe the process by which one person enables another to grow and develop. What a privilege to be asked to do this most important of jobs. Mentors are widely used in education and business as well as within the Church. In the Christian context, it is often known as spiritual mentoring because the purpose is to help individuals reach their full potential in God. The mentoring that I have been asked to do is very informal, a chat over a cup of coffee, to enable a “soul friendship” to be established and enable a confidential sharing of faith, thoughts, and fears. Spiritual mentoring is built on the metaphor of the journey and here we are reminded that we are pilgrims who share a sacred journey together. As someone who loves walking it is always more enjoyable on a day out walking to be accompanied by someone and be able to walk and talk together. Perhaps the best mandate we have for mentoring others is the example of Jesus. For three years, the disciples had unlimited access to their Master. As they criss-crossed the country with him, they listened to his teaching and had the opportunity to ask questions about anything they did not understand. They were able to hear his words and see his life at close quarters. They learned from his example as well as his teaching. While Jesus often worked with them as a group, he also had time for them as individuals.
