APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COlfiMITTEE: Ann Weikel, Chairman Charles LeGuin · Michael Reardon This thesis examines the general economic and intel- lectual climate of the mid-Tudor Commonwealth as a background for a specific study of the financial reforms instituted by Edward VI's government while the Duke of Northumberland controlled the Privy Council. The philosophy behind these measures parallels the principles expressed in A Discourse of the Commonweal of this Realm of England, a treatise written in 1549 by Sir Thomas Smith, Secretary to King Edward.

  • Our Spirit of Place
    OUR SPIRIT OF PLACE EMMANUEL COLLEGE EMMANUEL I OUR SPIRIT OF PLACE Emmanuel’s Conservation Statement Emmanuel’s conservation statement is an overall assessment of the history and significance of the buildings, landscapes, grounds and setting of the College. The statement helps us bring together a shared understanding of the significance of our buildings, grounds and views into, out of and within the College, with the way we care for them and think about Emmanuel’s future development. However it is much more than a simple assessment of our buildings and grounds. Ours is a ‘Spirit of Place’ statement: it looks at the significance of the buildings and environment in the context of the College’s shared values. It is concerned with how these moulded Emmanuel’s past, what makes Emmanuel what it is today, including the things we all cherish, and how, together, all these considerations will shape our future. The statement was written by Oliver Caroe and Jeremy Musson of Cambridge Architectural Research Limited, two renowned experts in their field. They consulted widely within the College community, ensuring that Fellows, students and Emma Members all contributed to the process. Local planning officers and Historic England have also seen the statement and endorsed it. The cost was met by some very generous donations from Emma Members. Characterising Emmanuel Emmanuel College is located in the heart of the modern city of Cambridge, but historically was on the edge of the city ‘beyond the Barnwell Gate’. The College’s history is layered, because its foundation in 1584 by Sir Walter Mildmay, Chancellor of the Exchequer to Elizabeth I as a college to train puritan preachers, was aided by partly re-using a number of much older buildings that had belonged to Cambridge’s Dominican Priory, dissolved in 1538 by Henry VIII.

  • 1576: Peter Wentworth in the House of Commons
    PART VIII 1576: Peter Wentworth in the House of Commons Peter Wentworth, a man of 'fervent extravagances' (1), died in the Tower at the age of 73 in 1597. He first was elected an M.P. in 1571, when he was 47. The oration I print here, lasting about an hour, was delivered on the morning of Wednesday, 8 February 1576, when Wentworth was in his early fifties. I point out these age dates to emphasise that Wentworth was not at all a 'youthful radical': he must have been one of the older Members in the House, and in the speech he called, in this increasingly club-like body, upon a folk memory dating back (or distorting back) to thP. 1530s: 'I have heard of old Parliament men that the banishment of the pope and popery, and the restoring of true religion, had their begt"nning from this House and not from the bishops.' Across which tavern tables had this interpretation of 'the Tudor Revolution in Government' been propounded? At West­ minster? Or in Cornwall - Wentworth was M.P. for Tregoney? Wentworth was a member of a Buckinghamshire gentry family. Hzs second wife was a sister of Francis Walsingham - thus, like Sir Walter Mildmay, he was a brother-in-law of Walsingham. His maiden speech, on 20 April 1571, had been an attack on Humphrey Gilbert. Gilbert, a week before, had spoken of the 'prerogative imperial', and said that the Queen might legitimately follow the French, Danish and Portuguese example, and use 'absolute power' (2). (What Gilbert really meant was that he himself should exercise such 'absolute' powers in North America.) Wentworth argued that Gilbert's speech was 'an injury to the House'; and he 'requested care for the credit of the House, and for the maintenance of free speech' and 'to 153 preserve the liberties of the House' (3 ).

  • A History of Apethorpe – by Richard Parkinson 2012 ______Part 1 - Iron Age to the Romans
    A history of Apethorpe – by Richard Parkinson 2012 _________________________________________________ Part 1 - Iron age to the Romans Click the photo to open in larger window In an aerial photograph taken in 1947, there are signs of a pre-historic settlement here consisting of roundhouses and enclosures making up small scale farms probably of Iron Age origin. The closest is about 1OO metres to the west of the Hall and consisting of enclosures and ditch complexes with prehistoric pottery and small amounts of metal work debris found. A later Romano British settlement survives nearby and 1 km away there are signs of an extensive Roman pottery, Nene Valley and Samian ware, (a bright red pottery mostly manufactured in Gaul and Germany in the 1st to 4th century). There is a site of a Roman villa begun toward the end of the 1st Century and gradually extended until it ended up in the 4th century as an imposing courtyard villa with hypercast and bath, and with a formal approach from the south. It was partly excavated in 1859 and could well have functioned as an estate centre. Following the Roman retreat at the beginning of the fifth century we see small paddocks of unequal size and orientation, so people continued to live here during the so called dark ages with the Danes and Vikings slowly conquering the area. At this time the estate appears to have shrunk back to its pre- Roman size at this time. You have to imagine that most of the land around here was covered in forest and that the inhabitants could not and did not travel far.

  • Thomas Gresham and the Tudor Court Professor Alexandra Gajda
    14TH NOVEMBER 2019 Thomas Gresham and the Tudor Court Professor Alexandra Gajda Sir Richard Gresham, father of Sir Thomas Gresham, died in February 1549, and was buried in the parish church of St Lawrence Jewry near the Guildhall, in the heart of the city of London. This was a fitting resting place for a man who had forged a career that had taken him to the top of the urban hierarchy. Richard was a mercer, freeman and erstwhile governor of the grandest of the London livery companies, and he was a merchant adventurer, one of that powerful company of merchants who dominated England’s foreign trade with northern Europe. Richard Gresham had also scaled the heights of London government, serving as alderman, sheriff, and finally as the highest civic dignitary of all, lord mayor of London. The will of his moveable goods reflects the social and familial networks of a very rich merchant and prominent citizen: it consists of a long string of legacies to his family and servants, to the church and the poor of his London parish. But in the middle of the distribution of loot comes a series of bequests that is striking to anyone with knowledge of mid-Tudor politics. Gresham left a trove of rings to the most powerful individuals in the land: recipients included my ‘lorde protectors grace’, Edward Seymour, duke of Somerset; John Dudley, earl of Warwick; Lord Rich, the lord chancellor; Lord Paget the great master of the king’s household; the comptroller of the household; the secretaries of the privy [or royal] council; the lord chief justices of England; the lord chief baron of the exchequer; and one young Walter Mildmay, a clever Cambridge-educated lawyer, at the start of a stellar career in royal finance.

  • Notes on the Life of Sir John Baker of Sissinghurst, Kent
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 38 1926 NOTES ON THE LIFE OF SIR, JOHN BAKER OF SISSINGHURST, KENT. COMPILED BY THE REV. F. V. BAKER. SIB JOHN BAKER, Chancellor of the Exchequer under Henry VIII., Edward VI., Mary, and Elizabeth, was the son of Richard Baker of Cranbrook, and grandson of Thomas Baker. He was born at Cranbrook about 1488, as he gives his age as 62 or thereabouts in 1550. He and his two brothers and three sisters are all mentioned in the will of his grandfather, made on 3 February 1493 (P.C.C., 16, Home). His grandmother, Mistress Benet Baker, lived until 1509 (will at'Canterbury). His father, Richard Baker, died on 9 August 1504, when John would be about 16. In his will he leaves " to John my son a niaser and flat piece of silver on his coming to the age of xxiui years, and after him to Thomas my son. To my. son James my greatest brasse pot." He leaves 20 marks to the marriage of his daughters, and the rest of his goods to the guiding of "Johanne my wyfe." Then follow these words: " My executors to pay to John my sonne yerely until he come at the age of 24 years to find him to scole as well in recompense of the lands in Stapul- her'st by my father assigned to him and of my bequest to fynde him to his lernyng in Court." These words are noteworthy, for they imply that his father already had the intention of entering him at one of the Inns of Court.

  • Heterodox Drama: Theater in Post-Reformation London
    Heterodox Drama: Theater in Post-Reformation London Musa Gurnis-Farrell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Musa Gurnis-Farrell All rights reserved ABSTRACT Heterodox Drama: Theater in Post-Reformation London Musa Gurnis-Farrell In “Heterodox Drama: Theater in Post-Reformation London,” I argue that the specific working practices of the theater industry generated a body of drama that combines the varied materials of post-Reformation culture in hybrid fantasies that helped audiences emotionally negotiate and productively re-imagine early modern English religious life. These practices include: the widespread recycling of stock figures, scenarios, and bits of dialogue to capitalize on current dramatic trends; the collaboration of playwrights and actors from different religious backgrounds within theater companies; and the confessionally diverse composition of theater audiences. By drawing together a heterodox conglomeration of Londoners in a discursively capacious cultural space, the theaters created a public. While the public sphere that emerges from early modern theater culture helped audience members process religious material in politically significant ways, it did so not primarily through rational-critical thought but rather through the faculties of affect and imagination. The theater was a place where the early modern English could creatively reconfigure existing confessional identity categories, and emotionally experiment with the rich ideological contradictions of post-Reformation life. !

  • Sir Robert Harley, K.B., (1579-1656) and the 'Character' of a Puritan
    SIR ROBERT HARLEY, K.B., (1579-1656) AND THE 'CHARACTER' OF A PURITAN EALES IN February 1621 Thomas Shepherd caused a furore in the House of Commons hy attacking the bill Mbr the Punishment of divers Abuses on the Sabaoth-day' at its second reading. It was, he said 'very inconvenient and indiscreete' and 'it savours of the spirrit of a Puritan', and he called Walter Earle, who had preferred the bill, a 'perturbator of the Peace \^ The Commons were so scandalized that Shepherd was ordered to withdraw from the debating chamber, and his angry outburst and high words were widely reported, both in parliamentary diaries"^ and by men who were not members of the Parliament. In a letter to Sir Dudley Carleton, the English ambassador in the Hague, his correspondent John Chamberlain noted ' yesterday one Shepheard, a lawier, was throwne out of the house and disabled for euer beeing there, for a speach the day before against a bill concerning the sabaoth, wherin girding and glauncing at the puritans, and seeking to make them ridiculous, him self grew foolish and profane'. In a draft letter to Sir Horace Vere, who was commanding the English volunteer force in the Palatinate, the Herefordshire gentleman. Sir Robert Harley of Brampton Bryan, recorded that 'one Shepharde, a lawyer that was of the lower house, made an Intemp[er]at speech ag[ain]st a bill, \v[hi]ch was to restraine the profanatio[n] of the sabboth, & Inveyed w[i]th some bitter[ncs]s ag[ain]st puritanes sayinge that there were many snares to catch poore pa[pists], but not so much as a mouse trap to catch a puritane.

HAMIL TON BRYSON The Exchequer was well established as a court of law in the thirteenth century. 1 For the next three hundred years, the Exchequer court seems to have carried out its duties without much change in function or status.2 At the beginning of the sixteenth century, the judicial business of the Ex­ chequer amounted to about 200 cases per year as compared with about 2500 in the court of King's Bench and 10,000 in the Common Pleas.3 However, during the middle period of the reign of Henry VIII, the first signs of growth since the thirteenth century appeared.
