    XIX.—Reginald, bishop of Bath (HJJfUgi); his episcopate, and his share in the building of the church of Wells. By the Rev. C. M. CHURCH, M.A., F.8.A., Sub-dean and Canon Residentiary of Wells. Read June 10, 1886. I VENTURE to think that bishop Eeginald Fitzjocelin deserves a place of higher honour in the history of the diocese, and of the fabric of the church of Wells, than has hitherto been accorded to him. His memory has been obscured by the traditionary fame of bishop Robert as the "author," and of bishop Jocelin as the "finisher," of the church of Wells; and the importance of his episcopate as a connecting link in the work of these two master-builders has been comparatively overlooked. The only authorities followed for the history of his episcopate have been the work of the Canon of Wells, printed by Wharton, in his Anglia Sacra, 1691, and bishop Godwin, in his Catalogue of the Bishops of England, 1601—1616. But Wharton, in his notes to the text of his author, comments on the scanty notice of bishop Reginald ;a and Archer, our local chronicler, complains of the unworthy treatment bishop Reginald had received from Godwin, also a canon of his own cathedral church.b a Reginaldi gesta historicus noster brevius quam pro viri dignitate enarravit.

    BIERTON WITH QUARRENDON, BUCKLAND AND STOKE. In an ancient Book of Memoranda and Institutions in the time of Oliver Sutton. Bishop of Lincoln, who began to preside over the Diocese of Lincoln Anno Domini 1280, and now remaining in the Registry of the Lord Bishop of Lincoln, is contained as follows :— "BURTON WITH QUERENDON, BOKELAND, AND STOKES.

Miller’s work was written during his tenure as chaplain to the British soldiers stationed in New York from June 1692 until July 1695. His first draft was thrown overboard to avoid its falling into the hands of the French privateers who cap- tured the ship in which he was returning to England. Miller re- wrote his work while imprisoned in France, finished it after his return to England in 1696, and presented it as a report to his supe- rior, Henry Compton, Bishop of London.

  • The Old Church of St Martin, at Dover
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 295 ) THE OLD OHURCH OF ST. MAETIN, AT DOVER BY CANON SCOTT ROBERTSON. THE history of " Old St. Martin's," or the chnrch of St. Martin-le-Grand in (but now behind) the Market Square, at Dover, is somewhat remarkable. It was at first a Collegiate Church. In A.D. 691, Wihtred, King of Kent, removed the College of Ca.nons from Dover Castle into the town, where he built for them a church dedicated to St. Martin. This church was then accounted " a royal chapel/' and the canons were increased in number, so that there were twenty-two of them. These canons of St. Martin were so largely endowed, that in the Domesday Survey their lauds occupy a separate and considerable place, under the heading " Terra Canoni- corum S. Martini de Dovre." Their church, built for them originally by King Wihtred, in 691, could not well survive the great fire which devastated Dover about A.D. 1066-67. So terrible were the effects of this fire, upon the town of Dover, that the Domesday Survey makes specific mention thereof. It records that on King William's " first arrival in England the town itself was burnt, and therefore its value could not be computed, how much it was worth when the Bishop of Baieux received it." If the Saxon church was partially or entirely destroyed by fire, a handsome Norman church must have been erected circa A.D. 1070. Canon Puckle has proved that the site upon which it was built had been occupied by Roman baths.

Edinburgh : Printed by Jaine& Ballantyne & Company. When the author engaged in this disquisition, it was not with the remotest idea of writing a book on the subject. His sole design was to col- lect a few materials, to be afterwards thrown to- gether, so as to form an article in a literary work, to which he had promised to contribute. But, from the contradictory assertions of learned and able writers, concerning the Culdees ; from the variety of topics regarding their history or cha- racter, which demanded particular attention ; and from the indispensable necessity, in an inquiry of this kind, of producing original authorities; he soon found, that it was in vain to think of giving any tolerable account of this celebrated society within the usual limits of an essay. Various dif- IV PREFACE. ficulties have occurred, indeed, in the progress of this investigation. But, in consequence of perse- vering in it, he has had the satisfaction of meet- ing w^ith facts, which seem to have been formerly overlooked ; and he flatters himself that he has been able to set some others in a new light.

  • Some Early Visitation Rolls Preserved at Canterbury
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 143*) SOME EARLY VISITATION BOLLS PRESERVED AT CANTERBURY. BY C. EVELEIGH WOODRUEE, M.A. AMONGST the archives of the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury are certain vellum rolls which contain a record of the pro- ceedings in the Court of the Commissary of the Prior and Convent of Christ Church in the last decade of the thirteenth century. The see of Canterbury was vacant after the death of Archbishop Peckham for more than two years, during which period the Prior and Chapter, as guardians of the spiritualities, performed all diocesan functions which were not necessarily episcopal.* One of these functions was the holding of visitations in the parish churches throughout the diocese, a duty which, probably on account of the fees which could be exacted, seems always to have been undertaken with some alacrity. On this occasion the Prior and Chapter appointed as their Commissary brother Richard of Cliffe, a monk of their house, who travelled about the county, holding his court in the parish churches, summoning before him offenders whether clerical or lay, and giving injunctions for the reformation of any abuses or defects which might be brought to his notice. The record of his proceedings contains much information relating to the condition of church life in the country parishes more than six hundred years ago, which has not been published hitherto, and is perhaps worthy of a detailed notice in the pages of Archceologia Cantiana. The original record is, of course, in Latin, but for the convenience of those of our members who do not understand that language, it has been thought better to give an English translation, or in some cases an abstract of the contents of the rolls.

DUNLOP, O.B.E., LL.D., D.Litt. EDINBURGH Printed by T. and A. Constable Ltd. Printers to the University of Edinburgh for the Scottish History Society 1956 -27^JAnS' ir> 1S58 Z* Printed in Great Britain FOREWORD This book is offered to the Scottish History Society as a mark of devotion in memory of my husband, and as a tribute to the late Monsignor Angelo Mercati, Prefect of the Secret Archives of the Holy See. My first training in the discipline of Scottish historical research was due to teachers, preceptors and friends who were all active members of this Society ; and when I entered the field of Vatican studies I was singularly blessed for many years with the encouragement, help and kindly interest of Monsignor Angelo Mercati. I had planned this volume as an act of homage to him, from a grateful student; and last autumn, when I went to Rome to correct proofs and work on the Introduction, he examined the sheets with interest, and commended the Society’s type. Perhaps the last words that the grand old man ever spoke to any of his students were addressed to me when, on leaving the Archives, he stopped in passing to ask if I were ‘ finding something good for Scotland ’. The following morning he collapsed at his desk, and three days later a German scholar and myself (the two long-time workers) were taken to receive his dying blessing.

Scottish saints cults and pilgrimage from the Black Death to the Reformation, c.1349-1560 Thomas JM Turpie PhD University of Edinburgh 2011 Declaration I declare that this thesis has been composed by me and that the work is my own. It has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification.
