Archivist, Judith Curthoys, looks at some of the concerns of Christ Church’s parish vicars in the nineteenth century.

He wrote to the Treasurer in October 1845 if they were landlords. Even the rectories were ‘farmed’ out, with the explaining that he had found himself in an awkward position: Robert great tithe being a profitable advantage for any landowner. But the Vernon, the art collector who had bought Ardington House in 1833 Dean and Chapter usually held onto the advowson and the right to having made a fortune selling horses to the British Army during present the vicar to the parish.

  • The Land.Qxd
    THE LAND Issue 1 Winter/Spring 2006 An occasional magazine about land-rights, incorporating The Land Is Ours Newsletter and Chapter 7 News. The Land Spring/Winter 2006 THE LAND: A MANIFESTO In all the hoo-hah surrounding the G8 summit last summer, did you hear anybody with access to a microphone mouth the word “land”? All the demands to “make poverty history”, and the responses from those in power, revolved around money: less debt, freer and fairer trade, more aid. That is because economists define wealth and justice in terms of access to the market. Politicians echo the economists because the more dependent that people become upon the market, the more securely they can be roped into the fiscal and political hierarchy. Access to land is not simply a threat to landowning elites - it is a threat to the religion of unlimited economic growth and the power structure that depends upon it. The market (however attractive it may appear) is built on promises: the only source of wealth is the earth. Anyone who has land has access to energy, water, nourishment, shelter, healing, wisdom, ancestors and a grave. Ivan Illich spoke of ‘a society of convivial tools that allows men to achieve purposes with energy fully under their control’. The ultimate convivial tool, the mother of all the others, is the earth. Yet the earth is more than a tool cupboard, for although the earth gives, it dictates its terms; and its terms alter from place to place. So it is that agriculture begets human culture; and cultural diversity, like biological diversity, flowers in obedience to the conditions that the earth imposes.

  • Studies in the Book of Common Prayer
    Studies in the Book of Common Prayer Author(s): Luckock, Herbert Mortimer, 1833-1909 Publisher: Longmans, Green, and Co. Description: The Book of Common Prayer is the service guide used by the Catholic church for worship, sacraments, ordinations, etc. It was first written by Thomas Cranmer in 1549 under Edward VI of England. In 1881 Herbert Luckock published Studies in the Book of Common Prayer, a historical look at the evolution of the book, which has been revised and reprin- ted many times. He chronicles the Anglican Reform, Puritan Innovations, Elizabethan Reactions, and the Caroline Settle- ment with a chapter each. Luckock©s work does not discuss any of the content of The Book of Common Prayer; rather, he is concerned with discovering how the content got there. His histories are very complete and include examinations of the people, events, theology, and politics that affected the formation of the book. The accounts are meticulously re- searched and as fascinating as they are lengthy. Luckock has written many works and was a respected teacher, college president, and Dean of Lichfield Cathedral. His record of The Book of Common Prayer is a tool that should be utilized by all who are familiar with this centerpiece of Anglican worship.

  • Cole Albert Porter (June 9, 1891 October 15, 1964) Was An
    Cole Albert Porter (June 9, 1891 October 15, 1964) was an American composer and songwriter. Born to a wealthy family in Indiana, he defied the wishes of his dom ineering grandfather and took up music as a profession. Classically trained, he was drawn towards musical theatre. After a slow start, he began to achieve succe ss in the 1920s, and by the 1930s he was one of the major songwriters for the Br oadway musical stage. Unlike many successful Broadway composers, Porter wrote th e lyrics as well as the music for his songs. After a serious horseback riding accident in 1937, Porter was left disabled and in constant pain, but he continued to work. His shows of the early 1940s did not contain the lasting hits of his best work of the 1920s and 30s, but in 1948 he made a triumphant comeback with his most successful musical, Kiss Me, Kate. It w on the first Tony Award for Best Musical. Porter's other musicals include Fifty Million Frenchmen, DuBarry Was a Lady, Any thing Goes, Can-Can and Silk Stockings. His numerous hit songs include "Night an d Day","Begin the Beguine", "I Get a Kick Out of You", "Well, Did You Evah!", "I 've Got You Under My Skin", "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" and "You're the Top". He also composed scores for films from the 1930s to the 1950s, including Born to D ance (1936), which featured the song "You'd Be So Easy to Love", Rosalie (1937), which featured "In the Still of the Night"; High Society (1956), which included "True Love"; and Les Girls (1957).

  • Autobiography and Anecdotes by William Taswell, D.D., Sometime
    AUTOBIOGRAPHY AND ANECDOTES BY WILLIAM TASWELL, D.D., SOMETIME RECTOR OF NEWINGTON, SDRREY, RECTOR OF BERMONDSEY, AND PREVIOUSLY STUDENT OF CHRIST CHUKCH, OXFORD. A.D. 1651—1682. EDITED BY GEORGE PERCY ELLIOTT, ESQ. BARRISTER AT-LAW. PRINTED FOR THE CAMDEN SOCIETY. M.DCCC..LII. INTRODUCTION. THIS autobiography was originally written in Latin, but has been preserved only in the present translation, which was made by the Author's grandson, the Rev. Henry Taswell, Vicar of Marden, in Herefordshire. The translation has on a fly-leaf the following description:— " A few anecdotes concerning William Taswell, D.D., Rector of Newington and St Mary Bermondsey, in Surrey, and his Family. Translated Sept. 1761, after a very poor manner, by H. T., his grandson. " It is by no means an exact literal translation, but it is a just one as to facts recorded." The MS. translation is now in the possession of the Editor, together with the Diary of Dr. Taswell's father-in-law, Archdeacon Lake, which was printed in the former volume of the Camden Miscellany. The GENEALOGY of a FAMILY in the WEST, and COMMENTARIES upon his own LIFE. By W. T., D.D. Translated from the Latin (a thousand faults committed) by H. T. NOTWITHSTANDING I am sensible that for these seven years past and upwards my attention has been for the most part fixed towards husbandry, or in employment of an inferior nature, I once more put pen to paper; not because I am sensible of the accuracy there will be in my performance—the utmost extent of my abilities giving me little room to hope for this—but only to revive again, if possible, a knowledge of myself and letters, which time and my avocations have somewhat effaced.

  • William Ernest Henley - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series William Ernest Henley - poems - Publication Date: 2004 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive William Ernest Henley(1849 - 1902) William Ernest Henley (August 23, 1849 - July 11, 1903) was a British poet, critic and editor. Henley was born in Gloucester and educated at the Crypt Grammar School. The school was a poor relation of the Cathedral School, and Henley indicated its shortcomings in his article (Pall Mall Magazine, Nov. 1900) on T. E. Brown the poet, who was headmaster there for a brief period. Brown's appointment was a stroke of luck for Henley, for whom it represented a first acquaintance with a man of genius. "He was singularly kind to me at a moment when I needed kindness even more than I needed encouragement." Brown did him the essential service of lending him books. Henley was no classical scholar, but his knowledge and love of literature were vital. After suffering tuberculosis as a boy, he found himself, in 1874, aged twenty- five, an inmate of the hospital at Edinburgh. From there he sent to the Cornhill Magazine where he wrote poems in irregular rhythms, describing with poignant force his experiences in hospital. Leslie Stephen, then editor, visited his contributor in hospital and took Robert Louis Stevenson, another recruit of the Cornhill, with him. The meeting between Stevenson and Henley, and the friendship of which it was the beginning, form one of the best-known episodes in English literature (see Stevenson's letter to Mrs Sitwell, Jan. 1875, and Henley's poems "An Apparition" and "Envoy to Charles Baxter").
