  • The Fusilier Origins in Tower Hamlets the Tower Was the Seat of Royal
    The Fusilier Origins in Tower Hamlets The Tower was the seat of Royal power, in addition to being the Sovereign’s oldest palace, it was the holding prison for competitors and threats, and the custodian of the Sovereign’s monopoly of armed force until the consolidation of the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich in 1805. As such, the Tower Hamlets’ traditional provision of its citizens as a loyal garrison to the Tower was strategically significant, as its possession and protection influenced national history. Possession of the Tower conserved a foothold in the capital, even for a sovereign who had lost control of the City or Westminster. As such, the loyalty of the Constable and his garrison throughout the medieval, Tudor and Stuart eras was critical to a sovereign’s (and from 1642 to 1660, Parliament’s) power-base. The ancient Ossulstone Hundred of the County of Middlesex was that bordering the City to the north and east. With the expansion of the City in the later Medieval period, Ossulstone was divided into four divisions; the Tower Division, also known as Tower Hamlets. The Tower Hamlets were the military jurisdiction of the Constable of the Tower, separate from the lieutenancy powers of the remainder of Middlesex. Accordingly, the Tower Hamlets were sometimes referred to as a county-within-a-county. The Constable, with the ex- officio appointment of Lord Lieutenant of Tower Hamlets, held the right to call upon citizens of the Tower Hamlets to fulfil garrison guard duty at the Tower. Early references of the unique responsibility of the Tower Hamlets during the reign of Bloody Mary show that in 1554 the Privy Council ordered Sir Richard Southwell and Sir Arthur Darcye to muster the men of the Tower Hamlets "whiche owe their service to the Towre, and to give commaundement that they may be in aredynes for the defence of the same”1.

  • William Murduck, 1834 – 1895
    William Murduck, 1834 – 1895 William Murduck was born in his parents’ home in Bethnal Green (London), England, probably very early in 1834. His parents – Thomas and Mary Ann [nee Coleman], crossed parish boundaries from Bethnal Green to Stepney when they had their son baptised at St. Dunstan’s, the church of the Parish of Stepney, on 9 February 1834.1 Thomas the father was a bricklayer/builder (born 1795) who had moved in to east London probably in the fall of 1825, a little more than eight years before William’s birth. Thomas had been married to Mary Coleman in 1821, in the Parish of Writtle (near Chelmsford in Essex County, north and east of London about 40 miles). Two surviving children who had been born in Writtle – John (born 1822) and Eliza (born 1826) made the move with him. In Bethnal Green, Thomas (1829), Mary Ann Lucy (1831), then William, Elizabeth Sarah (1836), George (1839), Charles (1842), and Edward (1843) were born. William came from a long line of bricklayer/builders who had lived in and worked out of Writtle ever since the late 1600s. His great, great grandfather John Murduck (baptised 14 January 1699) was a bricklayer. William’s great grandfather John Murduck (baptised 5 May 1734) was a bricklayer. So was his grandfather Thomas Murduck (baptised 18 September 1765). William’s uncle – his father’s younger brother, Robert John (known as John, baptised in the parish of Hornchurch, Essex, on 29 April 1804), was also a bricklayer. It`s probable that William’s father and uncle operated a ‘family style business’ constructing and repairing residential buildings in east London and west Essex for many years.

  • The Lost Church of St Botolph
    The Lost Church of St Botolph St Botolph was a 7th-century East Anglian saint, traditionally associated with the pre-Conquest monastic community at Icanho (probably Iken near Snape in Suffolk). This monastery was allegedly destroyed in Viking raids and the saint’s relics were then removed in the 10th century (although Pestell contends that the story of the destruction may have merely been justification for the removal - Pestell 2004, 91). The translation of the relics ultimately entailed the splitting of the body into three parts for distribution to different monastic establishments: the head went to Ely, the middle part to Thorney, and the remainder to Westminster. In London, four churches were dedicated to the saint: St Botolph’s Aldgate, Aldersgate, Bishopsgate and Billingsgate. All the London churches were located next to gateways in the city wall, even Billingsgate where the foundations of the lost church were excavated in the 1980s next to river access through the remains of the Roman riverside wall. This association with boundaries seems to have been common by the end of the 11th century and indeed St Botolph Billingsgate was where merchants from Flanders, Normandy and the Rhineland paid tolls. Even churches abroad, such as St Botolph in Viborg, Denmark, were located at the boundary of the medieval town (Morris 1989, 219). The position of the lost St Botolph in Norwich therefore is intriguing. The earliest known documentary reference to the Norwich church is in the later 13th century when it is referred to as (Ecclesia) Sancti Botulphi (Sandred and Lindström 1989, 36) but it seems very probable that the church existed before 1066.

  • City Fringe Living Emerging As a Prime Location 2–3
    November 2015 City Fringe living Emerging as a prime location 2–3 Introduction The once under appreciated City Fringe is now an in-demand location in London, both for business and as a place to live. Its transformation was originally set in motion in the 1980s when a pioneer population of artists and other creatives established themselves in Shoreditch, Hoxton and Clerkenwell. This creative demographic created the eclectic neighbourhoods we know today and precipitated a general and continued eastward migration across London. More recently, the enhanced aesthetic of the Fringe, combined with a constrained supply of new homes in the City, has seen a huge number of City workers move into the area. Driven by a desire to live close to their place of work, and the relative affluence of a city career, this influx has cemented the rise of the City Fringe. With employment in the City forecast to grow by a further 50,000 by 2026, demand for homes in the City Fringe will become even higher. The movement of people into the City Fringe was also mirrored by businesses that saw it as an increasingly viable office location. In fact, some Fringe locations, such as Shoreditch and Clerkenwell, are now firmly established and in many cases now considered core office markets. Recently, the increasing employment base in the City Fringe has been further expanded by the development of Tech City in Shoreditch. What began as a cluster of digital companies around Old Street roundabout has resulted in huge growth of the technology sector throughout the City Fringe, and many companies have seen employment grow at six times the national average.

  • Protestation Returns Document
    WEST MIDDLESEX FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY THE 1641 - 42 PROTESTATION OF MIDDLESEX Oliver Cromwell outside the Houses of Parliament. The oath In 1641 Parliament decreed that ALL males over the age of 18 should swear an “Oath of Allegiance” to the Protestant Church of England, Parliament and the King Charles. Although many parts of England have no record of these returns, the returns for Middlesex include 16,600 names, which it is estimated are 80% of the total returns due for the county. The following is the oath which each male had to swear:- I,......................, do, in the Presence of Almighty God, promise, vow, and protest to maintain and defend, as far as lawfully I may, I with my Life, Power, and Estate, the true Reformed Protestant Religion, expressed in the Doctrine of the Church of England, against all Popery and Popish Innovations, within this Realm, contrary to the same Doctrine, and according to the Duty of my Allegiance, to His Majesty's Royal Person, Honour, and Estate, as also the Power and Privileges of Parliaments, the lawful Rights and Liberties of the Subjects, and every Person that maketh this Protestation, in whatsoever he shall do in the lawful Pursuance of the same; and to my power, and as far as lawfully I may, I will oppose and by all good Ways and Means endeavour to bring to condign Punishment all such as shall, either by Force, Practice, Counsels, Plots, Conspiracies, or otherwise, do any Thing to the contrary of any Thing in this present Protestation contained; and further, that I shall, in all just and honourable Ways, endeavour to preserve the Union and Peace betwixt the Three Kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland: and neither for Hope, Fear, nor other Respect, shall relinquish this Promise, Vow, and Protestation." © House of Lords Records Office.
