  • Oosthuizen, MSR, DB Fenland, 30 Jan 2015
    RE-EVALUATING MAPS OF DOMESDAY POPULATION DENSITIES: A case study from the Cambridgeshire fenland By SUSAN OOSTHUIZEN Abstract Professor Sir Clifford Darby’s county, regional and national maps of a range of data drawn from the Domesday Book revolutionized scholarship on the social and economic history of late Anglo-Saxon England (e.g. 1935, 1936a, 1936b, 1971, 1977). While this paper does not seek to challenge Darby’s general conclusions, a case study re-examination of the inter-relationship between population density and physical geography in the Cambridgeshire fenland in 1086 suggests the regional usefulness of methodological adjustments to his mapping. It indicates that the population density of the peat and silt fens in the late eleventh century may have been significantly higher than that shown in Darby’s original maps, with implications for the contemporary social and economic history of eastern England. Introduction The magnificence of many fenland churches allows even a complete stranger to infer the large numbers of inhabitants in and general prosperity of the region during the middle ages (Illustration 1, Figure 1). Its affluence is confirmed in the lay subsidies of 1327, 1332 and 1334. Settlements on the silt fens (for which there is the most information) were so prosperous that they generated among the highest returns per square mile and per vill in England, as well as some of the highest rates per taxpayer (Campbell and Bartley 2006: Maps 18.3, 18.13). Although only 20% of English settlements paid more than £225 in 1334, that select group includes not only Ely (paying £358), Leverington (paying £360), and Wisbech (paying £410) but almost every other silt fen vill (Glasscock 1973: 181-3; 1975: 28, 107, 168-9).

  • The Jews of Medieval Cambridge
    The Jews ofmedieval Cambridge R. B. DOBSON As it happens, this presidential address is being delivered more or less seven hundred years to the day since the last persecuted survivors of the once substantial medieval English Jewrywere crossing the Channel into involuntary exile, 'without the hope of ever returning', after their banishment from this country on i Novem? ber 1290.1 Itmay not be quite so important,but it is certainlymuch less dispiriting, to remember that almost a century has elapsed since the foundation of this Society in 1893.2 As we rapidly approach our centenary year, we must all hesitate to think what the present state of Jewish historical studies in this countrywould now be had it not been for the indefatigable labours and enterprise of our founding fathers a hundred years ago. Perhaps a medieval historian might be forgiven formaking the additional point that at the heart of our Society's almost instantaneous scholarly success in the 1890s lay a particular strength inmedieval Jewish studies. At a period when the academic study of history, heavily biased towards English national political and constitutional development, was an extremely young and tender plant within British universities, this Society's earliest members were conducting detailed documentary research of exceptional quality, research whose full value is still perhaps insufficiently appreciated a hundred years later. The enthusiasm for Jewish history unleashed by the great London Anglo-Jewish Historical Exhibition of 1887 created what Professor Robert Stacey has recently termed the 'heroic age' of Jewish historical scholarship in England.3 Above all, this was the heroic age for the study ofmedieval Anglo-Jewry, adorned as that studywas by scholars, often not themselves university-trained, of the calibre of Joseph Jacobs, Lionel Abrahams, Michael Adler, Herbert Loewe and Lucien Wolf, whose 'A Plea for Anglo-Jewish History' filled the first pages of the first volume of the Society's Transactions in 1893-4.

Hereward and the Witch 3 2. A Necromancer in the Lady Chapel 5 3. Witchcraft and the Reformation 9 4. Witchfinders in Ely 11 5. Witchcraft in Ely in Modern Times 15 Notes 20 Introduction The Cambridgeshire Fens are one of the last places in England where traditional belief in witchcraft was widespread. Until as late as the mid-twentieth century, Fenland communities were isolated, and their inhabitants were more vulnerable to environmental illnesses, such as malaria, than the rest of the population. A hard life, geographical isolation, close-knit communities and mistrust of outsiders may all have contributed to the Fenlanders’ abiding belief in the power of witchcraft. Ely’s place in the history of English witchcraft is a special one. As the cathedral city at the heart of the Fens, under the independent jurisdiction of the Bishop, Ely was the place where anyone locally accused of witchcraft would be brought to trial. The city was the hub from which John Stearne completed the last stage of Matthew Hopkins’s infamous witch-hunt in the 1640s, and Ely was the scene for the (quite literal) downfall of the first ‘witch’ to appear in English history.

  • Celebrating Pioneers of Lifelong Learning
    Cambridgeshire's Village Colleges- Celebrating Pioneers of Lifelong Learning at the Heart of Rural Communities Oral History Interview Transcription Interview with Mrs Lorna Delanoy by Bradley Anker and Caydn Perez-Bent (Students at Witchford Villlage College). 6th February 2020 This is Caydn Perez-Bent and Bradley Anker and we are interviewing on 6th February 2020. What is your full name and what is your maiden name? My full name is Lorna Delanoy and it was Freeman. And I’m very local because I was born at Haddenham- just down the road. When were you born? 1940- an easy year, a ‘nought year’ you see! Special year this year…I’ll be 80 Where did you go to Primary School? I went to Haddenham Primary School and then in 1951 we sat the Eleven Plus so I went through to Ely High. But all my friends came to Witchford ‘Sec Mod’ ‘cause it was then opening in 1951. When was your first contact with a Village College? Let me see, in 1959 I came as a student teacher for the summer term when it was still a Secondary Modern School and the head in those days was Dobson who has been sent here from Primary teaching in Ely. What did the role of Student Teacher mean for you? It was very hard-going. I was very young and the children here, you see, were 15..14/15 and I was the ‘ripe old age’ of 19, so I wasn’t much older. And it was very hard-going yes. But easier here than at a teaching practice in London where I had been in the previous year.
