TRICE MARTIN, F.S.A. a I HiVE brought with me this evening few photographs connected with the Old Hospital forConverted Jews in London, but I do not a or a intend to read you long paper give you detailed history of the House. William The fact is that my friend,Mr. Hardy, has recently read on a very elaborate paper the subject before the Society ofAntiquaries, and has also published the substance of it in a Magazine, and there is no need for me to repeat what he has written. I shall be contented some if I tell you enough to make you feel interest in the photo? graphs. You all know, I daresay, that King Henry III. founded this " Hospital for Converts in Chancery Lane, which was then called the Street called New Street, in the Suburbs of London, running between the Old Temple and the New." The first Temple or House of the was founded in and was removed to Knights Templars Holborn, its in present site in Fleet Street 1185. Soon after the foundation of the Hospital, Matthew Paris, the who his a Monk of St. Albans, spent life in writing history of us that " a England, tells (iii. 262) Henry III. built decent church, with fit for a conventual congregation, other buildings adjoining, at his own expense, in the place where he had established a House of ransom Converts, for the of his soul and that of his father,King John, and all their ancestors, in the 17th year of his reign, that is to say, in London, not far from the Old Temple, To this house converted Jews retired, leaving their Jewish blindness, and had a home and a safe refuge for their whole lives, living under an honourable rule, with sufficient sustenance without servile work or the profits of usury. So it happened that in a short time a large number were collected there. St Alban's Abbey, fromthe IIS. at CorpusChristi Coll. A ?????

Mus. MS. Boy., 14 C. vii.). be written by his own hand, there is a drawing of a church in the as an illustration of this margin, intended passage. I have brought with me a coloured facsimile of this drawing and also an enlarged copy of it. It is a question whether this is really a picture of the Chapel itself or whether it ismerely a typical church drawn in the margin to call attention to the passage, without any idea of representing the actual building, just as a crowned head might be put in the margin opposite a passage referring to a king, without any intention of its being a portrait. I have here also a drawing of the only other picture of a church in the volume. It represents part of St. Albans Abbey, to illustrate the dream of an enemy of theAbbey, Sir Falkes de Breaute, who dreamed that a stone fell from one of the towers and crushed him. He told his wife vol. i. c 18 THE DOMUS CONVERSOBUM. of it in the morning, and she, after the manner of her time, attributed a the dream rather as Divine monition than as a symptom of dyspepsia, and advised him to seek absolution for his misdeeds at the Abbey, which he did. The two drawings, you will see, are similar in character, considering that one only represents part of a church, and the other the whole ; and they appear to me to be equally imaginary. Another manuscript of Matthew Paris, in the British Museum a (Royal M.S., 14 C, vii.), has drawing of the chapel, slightly different Sketch of the Bolls Chapel in its present state. to that of which I have shown you a copy, but it has no better claims to an be authentic representation. The Rolls Chapel has been left to get out of repair more than once, and has been considerably modernised, so that but little of the original structure remains except the walls. It was thoroughly repaired by the well-known architect, Colin Campbell, who built the Rolls House between the years 1717 and 1724. The flint facing of the walls is even later than this, so that the only part of the original wall now visible is that on the south side. A house called theRolls Chapel Office, built in 1784, adjoined the chapel on that side, and the flint facing was evidently added after it was built. It has been suggested that this was the work of George Gwilt the elder, but I do not know that there is any evidence for this.

There would have been no need to remove it if it had existed previously. + E3 > Hi Church for Converted Jews, from a MS. of Matthew Paris, in the Library of Corpus Christi Coll., Cambridge. It was only when this house was recently pulled down to make way for the new front of the Public Record Office in Chancery Lane, that this piece of old wall was laid bare. The little tower at the south-east corner of the Chapel is far too insignificant to be represented by the tower in Matthew Paris's picture, and there is no trace of, or, indeed, room for any window corresponding to the rose window and upper lights in his picture. It might have been concealed by the plaster which covers the top of the tower, but this is not likely. There are two mere slits forwindows in the tower?one on the east side, of which the stone architrave is renewed, but the other, on the west side, which was covered by the Rolls Chapel Office, still possesses its original stone-work. The formerwindow can be seen in one of the photographs, c 2 20 THE DOM?S CONVERSORUM. The west door of the present chapel is round like that in Paris's picture, but whether it is the original door is very doubtful. At all no as events there is now side door in the picture. a never The picture also gives chancel, which probably existed. no a There was need for chancel in the chapels of colleges and no hospitals. The present east end is doubt Campbell's work. His declared account sent into theAudit Office states that he was employed " to repair and improve the Chapel of the Rolls," but it gives no details of his work on the Chapel. The two rows of windows in the picture have left no trace on the recently laid bare south side. The filled-up window next the tower, which belongs to the Decorated period, may have been inserted, if not earlier, when William de Burstall was Master of the Rolls and Keeper of the House of Converts, from 1371 to 1381, as the Chapel was then in a bad state and had to be repaired. The window further west is similar in shape to the east and are no or even other windows, which doubt Campbell's work, later. some Inigo Jones is said to have had hand in its restoration, but it is difficult to say what is his work. At all events, in 1708 the doors and windows were still Gothic. no As to the interior, there is trace of great antiquity. The roof is modern Gothic. The chapel possesses, however, three tombs, which are well worth seeing. The earliest is that of John Yong, who was Master of the Rolls from 1508 to 1516. The monument consists of a painted effigy of on a stone in a the deceased, lying sarcophagus, dressed scarlet robe, with black tippet and black cap, like that worn by Stephen Gardiner " our in his portrait by Holbein, the ancestor of mortarboard." The of the deceased a wonderful of the face gives impression solemnity, the majesty of death, without putting forward its horror. over The faces of Christ and the two angels the corpse are inferior, if not in execution, at least in conception and effect.

For years, one of the school Houses was named Trevor after Sir John. This tradition will be continued with the new girls’ boarding house with 40 bedrooms to be completed by September 2016 to be named Trevor House. John Trevor was born in 1637 near Chirk to a family that belonged to the local gentry. The exact dates of his attendance of Ruthin School are unknown, but it can be presumed that he was a pupil of the school during the political upheavals of the English Civil War, which saw Charles I executed in 1649. He started his legal career during Cromwell’s republican Commonwealth of the 1650s, and became a judge in 1661 immediately after the restoration of the Stuart monarchy. Trevor entered the House of Commons in 1673 as a Tory, supportive of the Stuart King James II. He was elected the MP for Denbighshire and had to fight a duel with the losing candidate. In 1685, he was elected Speaker of the House of Commons and also appointed Master of the Rolls, one of the highest judicial posts in the Kingdom. As Speaker, he was noted for his squint, which confused MPs trying to catch the Speaker’s eye so as to be called to speak in debates.

It incorporates comparable data from the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and the Elizabeth I. Much of the analysis is quantitative in nature: chapters compare the appointments of justices of the peace during the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, and reveal that purges of the commissions of the peace were far more common than is generally believed. Furthermore, purges appear to have been religiously- based, especially during the reign of Elizabeth I. There is a gap in the quantitative data beginning in 1569, only eleven years into Elizabeth I’s reign, which continues until 1584. In an effort to compensate for the loss of quantitative data, this dissertation analyzes a different primary source, William Lambarde’s guidebook for JPs, Eirenarcha. The fourth chapter makes particular use of Eirenarcha, exploring required duties both in and out of session, what technical and personal qualities were expected of JPs, and how well they lived up to them.

    1 THE PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE OF FREEDOM FROM ARREST, 1603–1629 Keith A. T. Stapylton UCL Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Page 2 DECLARATION I, Keith Anthony Thomas Stapylton, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed Page 3 ABSTRACT This thesis considers the English parliamentary privilege of freedom from arrest (and other legal processes), 1603-1629. Although it is under-represented in the historiography, the early Stuart Commons cherished this particular privilege as much as they valued freedom of speech. Previously one of the privileges requested from the monarch at the start of a parliament, by the seventeenth century freedom from arrest was increasingly claimed as an ‘ancient’, ‘undoubted’ right that secured the attendance of members, and safeguarded their honour, dignity, property, and ‘necessary’ servants. Uncertainty over the status and operation of the privilege was a major contemporary issue, and this prompted key questions for research. First, did ill definition of the constitutional relationship between the crown and its prerogatives, and parliament and its privileges, lead to tensions, increasingly polemical attitudes, and a questioning of the royal prerogative? Where did sovereignty now lie? Second, was it important to maximise the scope of the privilege, if parliament was to carry out its business properly? Did ad hoc management of individual privilege cases nevertheless have the cumulative effect of enhancing the authority and confidence of the Commons? Third, to what extent was the exploitation or abuse of privilege an unintended consequence of the strengthening of the Commons’ authority in matters of privilege? Such matters are not treated discretely, but are embedded within chapters that follow a thematic, broadly chronological approach.

This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.
