  • The Society of Friends in Wiltshire1
    The Society of Friends in Wiltshire1 OR the work of George Fox in Wiltshire see Wilts Notes <§ Queries, ii, 125-9, and The Journal of George Fox, Fed. N. Penney (Cambridge Edn.). The subsequent history of the Quakers in the county can be traced from the MS. records of the various quarterly and monthly meetings, from the Friends' Book of Meetings published annually since 1789 and the List of Members of the Quarterly Meeting of Bristol and Somerset, published annually since 1874. For the MS. records see Jnl. of Friends' Hist. Soc., iv, 24. The records are now at Friends House, Euston Road, London. From the beginning of the eighteenth century, the Quakers' story is of a decline which was gradual until 1750 and thereafter very rapid. The Methodists and Moravians largely supplanted them. An interesting example of the change over from Quakerism to Methodism is to be found in Thomas R. Jones' The Departed Worthy (1857). This book tells the life story of Charles Maggs, a distinguished Melksham Methodist. When Maggs first went to Melksham just after 1800 he made the acquaintance of two Methodists named Abraham Shewring and Thomas Rutty. The family names of Shewring and Rutty both occur in Melksham Quaker records between 1700 and 1750. Even more interesting is the fact that Abraham Shewring was known as " the Quaker Methodist " and that Charles Maggs found that " the quiet manner in which the service was conducted scarcely suited his warm and earnest heart "* WILTSHIRE QUARTERLY MEETING, c. 1667-1785 By 1680 the number of Quaker meetings in Wilts had reached its maximum.

To this end on the 25th February we held our first Zoom talk, which proved to be extremely successful. raising. Over 50 people gathered to listen to three of our Researchers talk about interesting ta- les they have discovered through their investigations and how they have managed to continue their work during the pandemic. Firstly, Rosalind Johnson introduced the Frustfield Hundred, which is the focus of her current research, and which encompasses the parishes of Whiteparish and Landford in the south of the county. Explaining the resources that she uses, such as newspapers and census returns, Rosalind illustrated these with examples of the typical crimes and their consequences that had come to light, including poaching, arson and curiously missing children. The second talk was by Mark Forrest, who concentrated on manorial records in Mere, on the western edge of the county. Explaining how the structure of manors and estates also influenced the social structure of the time, Mark showed how we can get an insight into the lives of the tenants and workers, as well as the landed gentry.

  • Was There a Castle at Calne?
    Was there a Castle at Calne? Reseach and ver two days in May of 2010, John Oswin, Owen Dicker and other members fieldwork from of BACAS and WANHS (Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Calne in Society) carried out a geophysical survey to see if we could find any Wiltshire O evidence of structures in Castle Fields in Calne. Robin Holley Four 20m x 20m grids were aligned across a flattened platform that had been and artificially scarped. Using resistivity, magnetometry, GPR (Ground Penetrating Lynn Amadio Radar) and a resistance profiler we were able to obtain readings from these surveys which indicated that there was significant disturbance under the topsoil. When the detailed results were analysed, the interpretation confirmed that there were indications of a curved ditch and possible stone structures in the main area. One of these features was large and circular, and had the appearance of being a round tower (see Figures 1, 2 and 3). Castles and Tower Houses The word 'castle' has been loosely assigned to many large structures built in the past. For instance, Iron Age hillforts are often called castles, e.g. Barbury Castle and Maiden Castle. Some were arguably defensive structures but they were certainly not castles and many could not have sustained permanent occupation. When, in AD43, the Romans arrived as conquerors, different building styles and techniques were introduced. Timber forts were erected in preference to earthen ramparts. As the occupation lengthened, stone replaced timber as the material of choice in the construction of dwellings and defended sites. After the fall of Rome, the withdrawal of the legions and the subsequent invasions of Britain from the north-east by Angles, Saxons and Jutes, many technologies, including building in stone, were lost.

  • The Britons in Late Antiquity: Power, Identity And
    THE BRITONS IN LATE ANTIQUITY: POWER, IDENTITY AND ETHNICITY EDWIN R. HUSTWIT Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Bangor University 2014 Summary This study focuses on the creation of both British ethnic or ‘national’ identity and Brittonic regional/dynastic identities in the Roman and early medieval periods. It is divided into two interrelated sections which deal with a broad range of textual and archaeological evidence. Its starting point is an examination of Roman views of the inhabitants of the island of Britain and how ethnographic images were created in order to define the population of Britain as 1 barbarians who required the civilising influence of imperial conquest. The discussion here seeks to elucidate, as far as possible, the extent to which the Britons were incorporated into the provincial framework and subsequently ordered and defined themselves as an imperial people. This first section culminates with discussion of Gildas’s De Excidio Britanniae. It seeks to illuminate how Gildas attempted to create a new identity for his contemporaries which, though to a certain extent based on the foundations of Roman-period Britishness, situated his gens uniquely amongst the peoples of late antique Europe as God’s familia. The second section of the thesis examines the creation of regional and dynastic identities and the emergence of kingship amongst the Britons in the late and immediately post-Roman periods. It is largely concerned to show how interaction with the Roman state played a key role in the creation of early kingships in northern and western Britain. The argument stresses that while there were claims of continuity in group identities in the late antique period, the socio-political units which emerged in the fifth and sixth centuries were new entities.

Copyright permission has been kindly granted by the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre to reproduce this photograph in this report. 1 1. Introduction 39 St John’s Street, up to recently known as ‘The Crown Centre’ is a large grade II* listed building on a main thoroughfare linking Long Street with the Market Place in Devizes. Prior to that it was known as The Crown Inn and Crown Hotel. The Victoria County History of Wiltshire refers to its early history when it states Next comes the Crown, which occurs in 1538–44… It seems to have continuously occupied the same site in St. John's Street …until its closure in 1966. ….Its use in the 17th century by lodgers of good social standing suggests that it was then one of the best inns in the town…2 The building falls within the Devizes conservation area which was first designated on 26 November 1970 and extended on 27 October 1977. 3 Since the 18th century, the highway in front of 39 St John’s Street has been known as Castle Street, St John Street and St. John’s Street. Research has been conducted at the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre in Chippenham and at the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes when preparing this report.

The cloth towns of Bradford-on-Avon, Trowbridge and Westbury were thriving when John Leland visited in 1540; but GD Ramsay thought they had passed their golden age by 1550 and declined during the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Joan Thirsk – following the precedent of John Aubrey, who wrote a survey of north Wiltshire in the 1660s – characterised the region as ‘cheese country’. Based on new archival research, this thesis argues that, far from declining, cloth manufacture in west Wiltshire grew throughout the Tudor era and remained strong under the early Stuarts; that production of this crucial trade commodity gave the region national significance; and that profits from the woollen trade were the main drivers of change in west Wiltshire over the period 1530-1680.

Modern scholarship has overlooked the value of Hampshire as a case study of Protestant nonconformity in the period, and this thesis therefore represents a major contribution to an understanding of provincial dissent in seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The thesis demonstrates the extent of dissatisfaction with the national church in the period 1640 to 1660. This period also saw the rise of radical religious groups, whose success in the county is examined. After the Restoration, persecution of dissenters became widespread, with occurrences often influenced by national events and legislation. But a close examination of the Hampshire evidence shows variations in the persecution of dissent across the county, due to local factors. Hampshire’s dissenters represented a significant minority in the population of the county, but no previous study has demonstrated how the distribution of dissent varied throughout the county. The distribution appears to have been influenced by many factors, but, in Hampshire as elsewhere, dissent was strong in towns, increasingly so in the eighteenth century. Previous studies of the social status of dissenters have not encompassed Hampshire, so this study makes an important contribution to existing analyses of social status by examining the evidence to demonstrate that the county’s dissenters were of the ‘middling sort’, but that this status did broaden in the years following Toleration.
