Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Royal Holloway, University of London 2012 1 Declaration I confirm that the work presented in this thesis is entirely my own work. ................................................. Date .......................................... 2 Abstract: The Royal Almshouse at Westminster c.1500 - c.1600 This dissertation provides a study of Henry VII’s almshouse at Westminster Abbey from its foundation, c.1500, throughout the Dissolutions of the sixteenth century, up to the Elizabethan Reformation; a period covering just over a hundred years. The almshouse was built in conjunction with Henry VII’s new Lady Chapel at Westminster Abbey and helped to support his chantry while providing care to ex-crown officials who had served the King and Abbey loyally. Henry VII’s Lady Chapel at the Abbey has been studied extensively but the almshouse has been omitted from most of these studies. There is an extensive and diverse range of primary source material, mostly in the Westminster Muniments [WAM], and National Archive [TNA] relating to the almshouse.1 These sources range from social, architectural, economic, and political aspects to the everyday functions of the almshouse. These sources also provide some detail about the almsmen. Surviving both the Dissolution of the Monasteries and the Reformation the almshouse has a remarkable history and was able to continue its service to the Crown until its demolition in 1779. Along with the primary source material relating to Henry VII’s almshouse, a contextual study of medieval almshouses will also be provided to highlight what was distinctive about Henry’s almshouse. In particular, this study intends to examine the foundations and administrations of the following almshouses: Richard Whittington’s almshouse founded in 1423/4 and overseen by the Mercer’s Company; God’s House in Ewelme founded in 1437 by William and Alice de le Pole, and finally, St. Cross at Winchester established by Henry VII’s great, great uncle Cardinal Beaufort. These were the grandest almshouses founded in England before Henry’s foundation, and 1 The British Library also has a number of important documents pertaining to Henry VII’s memorial. 3 exercised a significant influence on the style and administration of Henry’s almshouse at Westminster Abbey. The thesis is broken into four chapters. The first chapter focuses on the foundation of the almshouse using the original indentures established by the King and Abbot John Islip. The second chapter is an analysis of the endowment for Henry VII’s memorial at Westminster Abbey with a specific focus on provisions Henry made towards the almshouse. The third chapter looks at the almshouse site and buildings and how it survived the turbulent period of the Dissolution and reformations of the Abbey. Finally, the fourth chapter is an analysis of the almsmen and administration of the almshouse during the sixteenth century. This study will contribute to current work on the transformation of medieval charity into Protestant philanthropy; the practicalities of administering almshouses on a day to day basis; the topography and development of the vill of Westminster and, in particular, to a deeper understanding of the piety and charity of the last medieval and first Tudor King of England. 4 Table of Contents List of Abbreviations 7 List of Figures 9 List of Tables 10 Introduction 12 Chapter 1: Founding an Almshouse: A Study of the Indentures for Henry VII’s Memorial 45 i.

  • Late Anglo-Saxon Finds from the Site of St Edmund's Abbey R. Gem, L. Keen
    LATE ANGLO-SAXON FINDS FROM THE SITE OF ST EDMUND'S ABBEY by RICHARD GEM, M.A., PH.D., F.S.A. AND LAURENCE KEEN, M.PHIL., F.S.A., F.R.HIST.S. DURING SITE CLEARANCE of the eastern parts of the church of St Edmund's Abbey by the then Ministry of Works, followingtheir acceptance of the site into guardianship in 1955, two groups of important Anglo-Saxon material were found, but have remained unpublished until now. These comprise a series of fragments of moulded stone baluster shafts and a number of polychrome relief tiles. These are illustrated' and discussed here; it is concluded that the baluster shafts belong to around the second quarter of the 11th century or shortly thereafter; and that the tiles belong to the same period or, possibly, to the 10th century. HISTORY OF THE BUILDINGS OF ME LATE ANGLO-SAXON ABBEY The Tenth-Centwy Minster Whatever weight may be attached to the tradition that a minster was found at Boedericeswirdein the 7th century by King Sigberct, there can be little doubt that the ecclesiastical establishment there only rose to importance in the 10th century as a direct result of the translation to the royal vill of the relics of King Edmund (ob. 870);2this translation is recorded as having taken place in the reign of King Aethelstan (924 —39).3 Abbo of Fleury, writing in the late 10th century, saysthat the people of the place constructed a 'very large church of wonderful wooden plankwork' (permaxima miro ligneo tabulatu ecclesia) in which the relics were enshrined.' Nothing further is known about this building apart from this one tantalising reference.

  • The Tale of a Fish How Westminster Abbey Became a Royal Peculiar
    The Tale of a Fish How Westminster Abbey became a Royal Peculiar For Edric it had been a bad week’s fishing in the Thames for salmon and an even worse Sunday, a day on which he knew ought not to have been working but needs must. The wind and the rain howled across the river from the far banks of that dreadful and wild isle called Thorney with some justification. The little monastic church recently built on the orders of King Sebert stood forlornly waiting to be consecrated the next day by Bishop Mellitus, the first Bishop of London, who would be travelling west from the great Minster of St Paul’s in the City of London. As he drew in his empty nets and rowed to the southern bank he saw an old man dressed in strange and foreign clothing hailing him. Would Edric take him across even at this late hour to Thorney Island? Hopeful for some reward, Edric rowed across the river, moaning to the old man about the poor fishing he had suffered and received some sympathy as the old man seemed to have had some experience in the same trade. After the old man had alighted and entered the little church, suddenly the building was ablaze with dazzling lights and Edric heard chanting and singing and saw a ladder of angels leading from the sky to the ground. Edric was transfixed. Then there was silence and darkness. The old man returned and admonished Edric for fishing on a Sunday but said that if he caste his nets again the next day into the river his reward would be great.

  • Social Institutions in Kent 1480-1660
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 75 1961 SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN KENT 1480-1660 III. THE STRUCTURE OF ASPIRATIONS A. The poor THE persistent and the principal concern of Kentish donors, if our whole long period may be taken in view, was the care of the poor. The immense sum of £102,519 7s., amounting to 40-72 per cent, of the total of the charitable funds of this rich county, was poured into one or another of the several forms of poor relief. The largest amount was provided for the relief of the poor in their own homes, a total of £52,242 7s. having been given for this purpose, constituting more than one-fifth (20'75 per cent.) of all charities and considerably more than that given for any other specific charitable use. As we have already noted, a heavy proportion (90-05 per cent.) of this total was vested in the form of permanent endowments, thereby establishing institutional mechanisms for the alleviation of what may be regarded as the most pressing of the social problems of the age. Another great sum, £44,614 3s., was provided for almshouse establishments in all parts of the county, this being the second largest amount given for any one charitable use and amounting to 17-72 per cent, of the whole of the charitable re- sources of Kent.1 In addition, the sum of £5,067 17s., of which about 97 per cent. (96-60 per cent.) was capital, was designated for general charitable uses, which in Kent as elsewhere almost invariably meant that the income was employed for some form of poor relief.

    THE ROYAL BURIALS OF THE HOUSE OF YORKAT WINDSOR. II. Princess Mary,May 1482, and Queen Elizabeth Woodville,June 1492.- ANNE F. SUTTON AND LIVIA VISSER—FUCHS Princess Mary, May 1482. Mary, the second daughter of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville, born August 1467, ' was not fifteen when she died at Greenwich' 1n May 1482, in the week before Whit Sunday. Little is known of be; life. The joint households of the infant Princesses Elizabeth and Mary had cost £400 a year when they were very young, and this amount was allowed to the queen by the king} As the second daughter she had been the subject of two marriage negotiations: she had been scheduled to succeed her-elder sister, Elizabeth, as the betrothed of Charles, the Dauphin of France, if Elizabeth died, and in 1481, shortly before her death, she was proposed as a bride for Frederick, King of Denmark. In his will of 1475 Edward IV had left her a portion of 10,000 marks provided she was ruled by her mother the queen in all matters.1 In 1478 she and her sister, Elizabeth, had attended the reburial of their grandfather, Richard, Duke of York,“ but in 1480 she apparently did not attend the Garter ceremonies of that year with her mother and sisters, Elizabeth and Cecily.’ There is confusion about the date of Mary’s death. Both the'Monday“ (20 May) and the Thursday’ (23 May) ‘before Whit Sunday’ are given by the surviving copies of the narrative of her burial,“ though they agree on the dates of her burial: 446 the Monday and Tuesday in Whitsun Week, 27-28 May.9 Edward IV was at Canterbury on 17 May, and back in London on 23 May, and may have seen his dying daughter between those dates.

  • THE MUSEUM During 1970 and 1971 Considerable Work Has Been Done on the Collections, Although Much Still Remains to Be Sorted Out
    THE MUSEUM During 1970 and 1971 considerable work has been done on the collections, although much still remains to be sorted out. The work of identifying and labelling geological specimens has been completed, and the insect collections sorted, fumi- gated, labelled, put in checklist order and card indexed. The egg collection has also been re-labelled and card indexed, and some specimens added to it. In the historical field a large collection of photographic plates, mainly taken by Taunt of Oxford about 1900, has been sorted and placed in individual envelopes. Racking has been installed in part of the first floor of the stable and most of the collection of pottery sherds transferred to it, where it is easily accessible. A start has been made on the production of a card index of the folk collection and to-date some 1,500 cards have been completed. At short notice reports on archaeological sites in the Chilterns and in the River Ouse Green Belt were prepared, and at greater leisure one on the Vale of Aylesbury for the County Planning Department. This involved visiting a very large number of sites, which did however yield additional information about some. A start has been made on an examination of air photographs of the county, and a number of new sites, particularly of ring ditches and medieval sites, have been found. Excavations were carried out by the museum staff on four sites referred to in The Records, three of them on behalf of the Milton Keynes Research Committee. Amongst the exhibitions was one of Museum Purchases 1960-1970, opened by Earl Howe, Chairman of the County Education Committee, which showed all the purchases made during that period.
