    The Implementation and Impact of the Reformation in Shropshire, 1545-1575

    The Implementation and Impact of the Reformation in Shropshire, 1545-1575 Elizabeth Murray A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts United Faculty of Theology The Melbourne College of Divinity October, 2007 Abstract Most English Reformation studies have been about the far north or the wealthier south-east. The poorer areas of the midlands and west have been largely passed over as less well-documented and thus less interesting. This thesis studying the north of the county of Shropshire demonstrates that the generally accepted model of the change from Roman Catholic to English Reformed worship does not adequately describe the experience of parishioners in that county. Acknowledgements I am grateful to Dr Craig D’Alton for his constant support and guidance as my supervisor. Thanks to Dr Dolly Mackinnon for introducing me to historical soundscapes with enthusiasm. Thanks also to the members of the Medieval Early Modern History Cohort for acting as a sounding board for ideas and for their assistance in transcribing the manuscripts in palaeography workshops. I wish to acknowledge the valuable assistance of various Shropshire and Staffordshire clergy, the staff of the Lichfield Heritage Centre and Lichfield Cathedral for permission to photograph churches and church plate. Thanks also to the Victoria & Albert Museum for access to their textiles collection. The staff at the Shropshire Archives, Shrewsbury were very helpful, as were the staff of the State Library of Victoria who retrieved all the volumes of the Transactions of the Shropshire Archaeological Society. I very much appreciate the ongoing support and love of my family.

  • James Perry – a Late Victorian and Edwardian Shropshire Policeman Researched and Written by Andrew Coles

    James Perry – a Late Victorian and Edwardian Shropshire Policeman Researched and Written by Andrew Coles

    James Perry – A Late Victorian and Edwardian Shropshire Policeman Researched and written by Andrew Coles By the time that James Perry first became a police constable, Shropshire policing had already been established for about 40 years. Administration was split into two, with on the one hand the borough police forces; and on the other the county constabulary. The borough forces were established in the main population areas of Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth, Oswestry and Ludlow. The county constabulary oversaw policing across the rest of the more rural parts of Shropshire. Early Life James Perry was born in 1861, approximately 3 months prior to the 1861 census in the rural parish of Preston Gubbals, a few miles immediately north of Shrewsbury in Shropshire. Since the parish is made of several hamlets, it is unclear exactly which one James was born. Both Bomere Heath and Leaton have claim, but the most likely is Leaton as his baptismal record (13th January 1861) has Leaton as residence. His parents were Jonathan and Ann Perry. Jonathan is listed as a retired soldier on the baptism record, but died around about the same time as James was born, as Ann is a widow by the time of the next census. He had probably been retired for some time as he is listed in the 1851 census as a ‘pensioner agricultural labourer’. By the time of the next census in 1871 Ann Perry was listed as remarried to a John Coldwell in Bomere Heath, and like Jonathan Perry he was also an agricultural labourer. At this point James is at school and how much influence ‘step-father’ John Coldwell had on his future career as he grew up, is impossible to gauge.

    Loppington, Colemere

    Days Out with a religious theme or connection North-west of Shrewsbury – Battlefield, Preston Gubbals, Ruyton XI Towns, Loppington, Colemere. Sculpture of medieval weapons of war, at the site of Battlefield Church, near Shrewsbury. Battlefield Magda and I chose St Valentine’s Day, probably the first mild and sunny day of 2019, to explore the area of Shropshire to the north-west of Shrewsbury. Our choices were guided by the excellent leaflet published by the Shropshire Churches Tourism Group. We began with a very famous church near Shrewsbury, near the site of the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403. B u ilt The church is on the site of the medieval Battle of Shrewsbury; Magda investigates the lychgate carvings! Alas, the church is no longer used for worship but it is maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust. We were unable to go inside. However, the stonework outside features some wonderful gargoyles. The Chapel was built in 1406 to commemorate those who died in the battle – estimated to be around 5,000. The battle was fought on 21 July 1403, waged between an army led by the Lancastrian King Henry IV and a rebel army led by Henry "Harry Hotspur" Percy from Northumberland. It was the first in which English archers fought each other on English soil, and reaffirmed the effectiveness of the longbow and ended the Percy challenge to King Henry IV of England. The battle itself and many of the key people involved appear in Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1. Inside the church, the roof beams display the shields of Henry IV’s knights.

The Liberties and Municipal Boundaries The Domesday ‘city’ (civitas) of Shrewsbury included nine hides identifiable as the townships of its original liberty. To the south of the Severn they included Sutton, Meole Brace, Shelton, and Monkmeole (Crowmeole), and to the north Hencott.1 The location of a further half-hide, belonging to St Juliana’s church, was described by Eyton as ‘doubtful’,2 but may refer to the detached portions of St Juliana’s in Shelton.3 More obscure, as leaving no later parochial trace, was a virgate in Meole Brace which belonged to St Mary’s church.4 The Domesday liberties, however, were not settled.
