"In the seventeenth century the importance of the Parliament Rolls was so great that transcripts were made for private use, and published by private enterprise" (Holdsworth). The most important of these editions was produced by Prynne using a manuscript originally credited to Cotton. It is now believed to have been compiled by William and Robert Bowyer. It records the substance of Acts of Parliament and other particulars, that are not extant in print, among the statutes or the Parliament Rolls, and supplies the purpose of a useful index to the Rolls of Parliament. One of the most notable and colorful figures of the period, Prynne was a contentious, erudite Puritan attorney, legal antiquarian and prolific author. In 1660, he became the Keeper of Records in the Tower of London, a post he held until the end of his life. Holdsworth, A History of English Law II:423. English Short-Title Catalogue R473630.

The Name Cae’rfallen was also a township which appears to have had an Isaf and Uchaf area which ran towards Llanrydd from Caerfallen. Possible meanings of the name 'Caerfallen' 1. Caerfallen has a number of references to connections with local mills. The 1324 Cayvelyn could be a corruption of Caevelyn Field of the mill or Mill field. 2. Cae’rafallen could derive from Cae yr Afallen Field of the apple tree.

As such, it offers an ideal opportunity for a revisionary critique of pre- and early mod- ern English national identity from the vantage point of an explicitly regional literature. The provincial texts under review in this book— pageants, poems, and prose works created in Cheshire and its vicinity from the 1190s to the 1650s—work together to complicate persistent academic binaries of metropole and margin, center and periphery, and nation and region. In addition to the blurring of established spatial categories, the close study of early Cheshire writing and performance also serves to reconfigure England’s literary and social histories as pro- cesses of temporally uneven accretion.

  • Sir James Whitelocke, Chief Justice of Chester 1620-1624
    SIR JAMES WHITELOCKE, CHIEF JUSTICE OF CHESTER 1620-1624 Damian X, Powell Upon his appointment as chief justice of Chester on 29 October 1620, the newly knighted Sir James Whitelocke observed that 'the whole course of life of a professor of the law is devided into three passages' his 'time of study', his 'time of practise' ('the fruit of his studye'), and his time of service to his countrye, and that is the discharge of his civill dutye to the commonwealthe in sutche place as he shall be called unto. So he begins philosophus in getting knoledge, goethe on oeconomus in getting meanes of livelihood, ends politicus in serving his countrye.' Whitelocke's own life is best known for his vocal opposition to impositions in the 1610 parliament, a stance which may have contributed to his imprisonment in 1613 for further challenges to Crown interests over the Earl Marshal's court and a 1609 royal commission into the navy.2 Pragmatically offering to avoid Liber Famelicus of Sir James Whitelocke, a Judge of the Court of King's Bench in the reigns of James I and Charles I, ed.

  • THE ROYAL MANOR and PARK of SHOTWICK by Ronald Stewart-Brown, M.A., F.S.A
    82 THE ROYAL MANOR AND PARK OF SHOTWICK By Ronald Stewart-Brown, M.A., F.S.A. Read 29th February 1912. A ROYAL manor and a royal park, environing the IX remains of a Norman castle, which continued in the hands of the earls of Chester and of the Crown until the seventeenth century, offers an at­ tractive subject for historical investigation. For, apart from the natural notoriety attaching to the possessions and occasional residences of kings and earls, a royal manor generally presents a wider and more accessible field for research than a private estate. The history of celebrated or interesting private places frequently lies buried in collections of deeds and documents either hard to come at, ill- arranged, carelessly guarded, churlishly hoarded, or lost for ever. But with the possessions of the Crown all is different, and during the last twenty- five years a mass of historical material has been gradually reduced to order and made accessible at the Public Record Office. Nearly every step in the history of a Crown manor will at the time of its occurrence have been entered on the records, and, given the will to search an index, and some know­ ledge of the kind of records which are likely to yield good fruit, a large amount of information may easily be garnered from which a more or less satisfactory history can be produced. How little our historians have explored the field Hulbert's in reproduced 1838) afterwards Library, Shrewsbury, CASTLE Public Antiquities," Liverpool SHOTWICK the in Cheshire " Strutt J. by engraving an (From The Royal Manor and Park of Shotwick 83 in this case may be seen in the meagre and con­ fusing notes in the pages of Ormerod and his copyists on the history of Shotwick, which, as we shall see, in fact illustrates at every turn the close connection of Cheshire with the royal Courts and favourites, and establishes many most interesting links with celebrated strangers and famous Cheshire families.
