Rosemary Lane and Rag Fair C. 1690-1765 An Anatomy of a ‘Disorderly’ Neighbourhood: Rosemary Lane and Rag Fair c. 1690-1765. Janice Turner Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of PhD 23 June 2014 Abstract This thesis focuses on the experiences of the ‘disorderly’ neighbourhood of Rosemary Lane and Rag Fair in the eastern suburbs of London in c.1690 to 1765. Rosemary Lane and Rag Fair possessed one of the most powerfully articulated reputations for disorder of any London street. In the imagination of both novelists and social investigators it was thought to be squalid, dangerous, dirty - the stereotypical ‘den of iniquity’. Using a wide range of material including parish records, Middlesex session papers, eighteenth century newspapers, and digital sources such as the Old Bailey On-Line and London Lives this thesis will explore the streets and alleyways of Rag Fair. It will go beyond the simple perception of a disorderly neighbourhood, to describe the individual communities and forces which created that disorder. It will show that the poor of Rosemary Lane, generally, did not see themselves as a problem waiting to be solved, they were resourceful and they had their own way of surviving - they were active players in a changing City that was shaking off its medieval roots and embracing the modern. By looking in detail at this community; at its structures and divisions, and at its power relations, its self-identity will be revealed. i Abbreviations BL British Library BM British Museum ECCO Eighteenth Century Collection On-Line LL London Lives LMA London Metropolitan Archives OBP Old Bailey Proceedings Online Place of publication is London unless otherwise stated.

Rosemary Lane was the home of Rag Fair, of Frippery-Women and the thieves and thief-takers who haunted the street on a daily basis. In the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Rosemary Lane, a street just east of the City wall and the Tower of London had an impressive reputation for being a ‘disorderly’ neighbourhood. However, we know little about it or the people who lived there. Furthermore, while many historical accounts have been written regarding east London in the nineteenth century - dark tales of life in slums of Whitechapel abound; the eighteenth century remains a terra incognita.2 In consequence, we know little about the infrastructure of this neighbourhood. How did it appear to early modern eyes - was it a slum, a rookery full of thieves or just an early-modern London neighbourhood with 1 Place of publication is London unless otherwise noted; Edward Ward, A vade mecum for malt-worms: or, A guide to good fellows, (1715), Rosemary Lane, Seven Stars Alehouse, p.16. 2 H.

This thesis will hopefully dispel the gloomy nineteenth century image of the ‘East End’ and reveal how some of London’s citizens lived and worked in London’s eastern suburb. This introduction will define the chapters that will make up the body of this study. In the process, however, it also seeks to relate the history of the Lane to a bigger picture of the metropolis itself.

  • Policing the Bridges Appendix 1.Pdf
    Appendix One NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED Policing the Bridges and allocation of costs to the Bridge House Estates OPINION Introduction 1. This Opinion considers the nature and extent of the City's obligations as to the policing of the City's bridges and the extent to which those costs may be attributed to the Bridge House Estates. It focuses on general policing responsibilities rather than any specific project, although the issue has recently received renewed attention as the result of a project to install river cameras at the bridges. Issues concerning the quantum of any contribution and a Trustee‟s general duty to act in the best interests of Trust are not dealt with in this Opinion. 2. In order to provide context and to inform interpretation, some historical constitutional background is included. This has however been confined to material which assists in deciding the extent of the obligations and sources of funding rather than providing a broader narrative. After a short account of the history of the „Watch‟, each bridge is considered in turn, concluding, in each case, with an assessment of the position under current legislation. Establishment of Watches and the Bridges 3. In what appears to be a remarkably coordinated national move, the Statute of Winchester 1285 (13 Edw. I), commanded that watch be kept in all cities and towns and that two Constables be chosen in every "Hundred" or "Franchise"; specific to the City, the Statuta Civitatis London, also passed in 1285, regularised watch arrangements so that the gates of London would be shut every night and that the City‟s twenty-four Wards, would each have six watchmen controlled by an Alderman.

  • Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World During the Age of Enlightenment1
    CSCH President’s Address 2012 Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World during the Age of Enlightenment1 DARREN W. SCHMIDT The King’s University College My research stemming from doctoral studies is focused on English- speaking evangelical use, interpretation, and production of church history in the eighteenth century, during which religious revivals on both sides of the North Atlantic signalled new developments on many fronts. Church history was of vital importance for early evangelicals, in ways similar to earlier generations of Protestants beginning with the Reformation itself. In the eighteenth century nerves were still sensitive from the religious and political intrigues, polemic, and outright violence in the seventeenth- century British Isles and American colonies; terms such as “Puritan” and “enthusiast” maintained the baggage of suspicion. Presumed to be guilty by association, evangelical leaders were compelled to demonstrate that the perceived “surprising work of God” in their midst had a pedigree: they accordingly construed their experience as part of a long narrative of religious ebb and flow, declension and revival. Time and time again, eighteenth-century evangelicals turned to the pages of the past to vindicate and to validate their religious identity.2 Browsing through historiographical studies, one is hard-pressed to find discussion of eighteenth-century church historical writing. There is general scholarly agreement that the Protestant Reformation gave rise to a new historical interest. In answer to Catholic charges of novelty, Historical Papers 2012: Canadian Society of Church History 188 Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World Protestants critiqued aspects of medieval Catholicism and sought to show their continuity with early Christianity.

Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief. Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.
