How Useful Are Episcopal Ordination Lists As a Source for Medieval English Monastic History?
Jnl of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. , No. , July . © Cambridge University Press doi:./S How Useful are Episcopal Ordination Lists as a Source for Medieval English Monastic History? by DAVID E. THORNTON Bilkent University, Ankara E-mail: [email protected] This article evaluates ordination lists preserved in bishops’ registers from late medieval England as evidence for the monastic orders, with special reference to religious houses in the diocese of Worcester, from to . By comparing almost , ordination records collected from registers from Worcester and neighbouring dioceses with ‘conven- tual’ lists, it is concluded that over per cent of monks and canons are not named in the extant ordination lists. Over half of these omissions are arguably due to structural gaps in the surviving ordination lists, but other, non-structural factors may also have contributed. ith the dispersal and destruction of the archives of religious houses following their dissolution in the late s, many docu- W ments that would otherwise facilitate the prosopographical study of the monastic orders in late medieval England and Wales have been irre- trievably lost.

Staffordshire Industrial Archaeology Society Journal. Vol.1, 1970 p8-27 COMMUNICATION WITH CANALS IN THE STAFFORD AREA S. R. and E. Broadbridge It is hard today to visualise the canals as they were before the coming of railways - as the main means of bulk transport for heavy goods. Yet so great was the advance that they represented that their attractive power was scarcely less than that of the railways at a later date. Existing industries adopted themselves to use the canals; now industries deliberately sited themselves to take advantage of them. It is the purpose of this article to show how part at least, of this process can be illustrated in the Stafford area. 1 The most obvious way in which this attraction shows itself is in the situating of new industrial sites actually at the side of the canal. By 17952 there was a flint mill at Sandon, 1 on the River Trent where it is only a few yards from the canal. Unfortunately, nothing more is known of it and there are no remains on the farm which now occupies the area between the canal and river, though the river diversion for the leat is still visible. We know more of the salt works by the canal.3 About 1820 Earl Talbot decided to enter the salt-making business and a shaft was sunk on his land on the West of the Trent at Weston. The brine was pumped under the river and canal to a new works (opened 1821) on the canal bank at Weston. A plan of 1820 prepared by James Trubshaw shows short cuts from the canal along two sides of the works - the longer, on the North, leading to the stoking holes, the shorter, presumably, being for loading the salt. -

Pidgeon Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 15 December 2011 ii iii ABSTRACT Who were the Wydeviles? The family arrived with the Conqueror in 1066. As followers in the Conqueror’s army the Wydeviles rose through service with the Mowbray family. If we accept the definition given by Crouch and Turner for a brief period of time the Wydeviles qualified as barons in the twelfth century. This position was not maintained. By the thirteenth century the family had split into two distinct branches. The senior line settled in Yorkshire while the junior branch settled in Northamptonshire. The junior branch of the family gradually rose to prominence in the county through service as escheator, sheriff and knight of the shire. -

(This exhibition will not travel. Loans from houses open to view are expected to remain in place until the late summer of 1985 and to be returned before many of the houses open for their visitors in the spring of 1986.) Credits; This exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from the Ford Motor Company. The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in collaboration v\n.th the British Council and is supported by indemnities from Her Majesty's Treasury and the U.S. Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities. Further British assistance was supplied by the National Trust and the Historic Houses Association. History of the exhibition; The suggestion that the National Gallery of Art consider holding a major exhibition devoted to British art was made by the British Council in 1979. J. Carter Brown, Director of the National Gallery, responded with the idea of an exhibition on the British Country House as a "vessel of civilization," bringing together works of art illustrating the extraordinary achievement of collecting and patronage throughout Britain over the past five hundred years. As this concept carried with it the additional, contemporary advantage of stimulating greater interest in and support of those houses open to public viewing, it was enthusiastically endorsed by the late Lord Howard of Henderskelfe, then-Chairman of the Historic Houses Association, Julian Andrews, Director of the Fine Arts Department of the British Council, and Lord Gibson, Chairman of the National Trust. -
