  • Chapter 5. St Katherine by the Tower
    153 Chapter 5. St Katherine by the Tower The Royal Peculiar of the Hospital of St Katherine by the Tower has long suffered a bad reputation. In a 1601 House of Commons debate over its fate, Sir Stephen Soame, a member for London, called the liberty ‘the very sink of Sin, the Nursery of naughty and lewd People, the Harbour of Rogues, Theeves, and Beggars, and maintainer of idle Persons.’1 In the 1603 edition of his Survey of London, John Stow described St Katherine’s only slightly more charitably as ‘pestered with small tenements, and homely cottages, having inhabitants, English and strangers, more in number then in some cities in England.’2 Modern scholars have tended to accept Soame and Stow’s characterisations as accurate, and St Katherine’s has generally been treated as typical of London’s early modern liberties. Valerie Pearl uses it as an example of the ‘social ills, bad sanitation, vagrancy and disorder’ that characterised the liberties, and John McMullan describes it as ‘a low haunt of sailors and mariners’ that ‘catered to the whoring craft.’3 St Katherine’s, however, was not a typical liberty. The ancient hospital on which the precinct’s franchises rested was the only religious foundation in the capital to survive unaltered into Mary’s reign.4 Still, it is clear that both contemporaries and later writers considered the hospital’s survival little reason to separate St Katherine’s from the other jurisdictional enclaves around London. The survival of St Katherine’s hospital inspired a series of antiquarian studies between 1782 and 1878.

  • The Impact of Quadrupeds in Hanoverian London.Pdf
    THE IMPACT OF QUADRUPEDS IN HANOVERIAN LONDON THOMAS ALMEROTH-WILLIAMS MA BY RESEARCH THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY SEPTEMBER 2010 2 ABSTRACT In his classic study, Man and the Natural World, Keith Thomas assumed and asserted that by 1800 the inhabitants of English cities, and particularly London, had become largely alienated from animal life.1 This study challenges this assumption by exploring the scale and impact of quadruped mammalian life in London during the period, 1714–1837. My research represents a deliberate shift in historical enquiry away from debates centred on the rise of kindness and humanitarianism, and towards the integration of animals into wider urban historiographies and a demonstration of how their presence shaped urban existence. My central aim is to highlight the power of animals to make profound and far-reaching changes in society, and specifically in the British metropolis. Much recent historiography has given particular attention to human cruelty to animals. Yet, the tendency to consider human-animal histories solely as narratives of abuse threatens not just to over-simplify complex phenomena but also to seriously underestimate the role of animals in society. I seek to redress this imbalance by re-asserting the significance of animal technologies and by placing animals at the centre of eighteenth-century urban, social and cultural histories. I begin by considering the scale and contribution of cattle and horses to the social and commercial life of the metropolis as well as their impact on the construction and use of the built environment. I then turn to the disruptive influence of animals and the challenge of ‘commanding’ the recalcitrant beast, by examining the problem of the ‘over-drove’ ox and of equine traffic accidents.

  • 2. the Liberty of Earley
    2. The Liberty of Earley Earley today sits rather uneasily between the Berkshire towns of Reading and Wokingham, under the influence of both but belonging wholly to neither. In the early nineteenth century Earley was economically already under the sway of Reading, but administratively it was attached to the Thames-side parish of Sonning. Earley did not have its own church until September 1844, when the church of St Peter was consecrated. The date of creation of the ecclesiastical parish of Earley is variously given as 1843 (in anticipation of the completion of the church) and eleven years later in 1854; Earley became a separate civil parish in 1866. Prior to 1843, however, despite its considerable size, Earley was only one segment of the parish of Sonning. In 1820 Sonning parish comprised four “liberties”: Sonning Town; Earley; Eye and Dunsden; and Woodley and Sandford. Sonning was an unusually large parish with an unusually large river running through the middle of it. As it straddled the Thames, it comprised parts of Oxfordshire and parts of Berkshire. The extent of the parish from north to south, which is to say from Sonning Common as far as the valley of the River Loddon south of Lower Earley, was some eleven miles - which meant that some parishioners had a very long walk to church. The disparate nature of the parish is underlined by the fact that it formed part of three different hundreds (administrative divisions of mediaeval counties). The liberties of Sonning Town and Woodley and Sandford were in the hundred of Sonning; the liberty of Eye and Dunsden was in the Oxfordshire hundred of Binfield and Longtree; and the liberty of Earley was part of the hundred of Charlton.

  • New Hampshire Liberty Alliance 2019 Liberty Rating for the New Hampshire House & Senate
    New Hampshire Liberty Alliance 2019 Liberty Rating for the New Hampshire House & Senate nhliberty.org New Hampshire Liberty Alliance 2019 Liberty Rating This is the sixteenth annual Liberty Rating issued by the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance, based on 87 roll call votes in the House and 38 in the Senate. This year the Senate earned a collective grade of D+ and the House earned a collective grade of C- based on the average scores. Individual grades for each legislator are based on roll call votes and sponsorship/co-sponsorship for bills that affect liberty. Each bill/vote is assigned an impact score by the NHLA considering the degree to which the bill or vote impacts (positively or negatively) liberty. Pro-liberty bills protect individual freedom of choice and personal responsibility; recognize the superiority of freedom over coercion; respect the citizen’s right of self- ownership; promote governance that is transparent, accountable, and adheres to the Constitution; and recognize the value of voluntary economic decisions. Anti-liberty bills replace self-governance with interventionist regulation; assume rules made by agencies backed by force are superior to voluntary choices backed by personal accountability; and assume a better economy can be managed by a central authority that compels people and businesses to pay for policies they may not willingly support. The Liberty Rating is the result of hundreds of hours of work by many volunteers who have read and analyzed bills, testified before committees, called and written their representatives, worked on our other signature publication, the Gold Standard, and culled extensive data from legislative voting records.

Thomas Cromwell – The man who did the most to ensure that the English had access to the Bible in their own language was Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII’s chancellor from 1533 to 1540. Cromwell (portrayed by Hans Holbein above) was the spirit behind an injunction requiring that a copy of the English Bible be placed in every parish church. Published in September 1538, the injunction ordered the clergy to provide “one book of the whole Bible of the largest volume in English” and place it where “your parishioners may most commodiously resort to the same and read it.” The “largest volume” referred to the Great Bible, then being printed in Paris at Cromwell’s expense.

  • Londons Liberty in Chains Discovered: the Levellers, the Civic Past, and Popular Protest in Civil War London
    Londons Liberty in Chains Discovered: The Levellers, the Civic Past, and Popular Protest in Civil War London Philip Baker abstract The Leveller movement, based in London, recruited its most persist- ent supporters from the capital. Nevertheless, until recently, historians have not examined the impact of the city’s history, institutions, and customs on the Lev- ellers themselves, the nature of their campaign, and the content of their program. Philip Baker argues that the Levellers should be located within a long-standing tradition of protest concerning the rights and freedoms of London’s citizenry. An analysis of the relationship between the Levellers’ political action and its cultural roots sheds light on why they took up some of the positions they did. But the Lev- ellers, far from being prisoners of London’s past, developed a politicized interest in the city’s constitutional history that was part of their wider involvement in the national constitutional conflicts of the mid-1640s. keywords: John Lilburne; John Wildman; rights and responsibilities of London citizenship; seventeenth- century elections and voting rights in Britain; influence of London’s history and political culture on the Levellers the levellers have been regarded as the most forward-looking and “modern” of the so-called radical groups of the mid-seventeenth-century English Revolution. Their views on the innate equality of man, on freedom of religious con- science, on the right to vote, and on the need to entrench these principles in a written constitution are cited frequently as a “program . fitter for the twentieth century than for their own.”1 Nevertheless, historians have, at the same time, acknowledged that their 1.

  • Liberties of London: Social Networks, Sexual Disorder, and Independent Jurisdiction in the Late Medieval English Metropolis
    Liberties of London: Social Networks, Sexual Disorder, and Independent Jurisdiction in the Late Medieval English Metropolis Shannon McSheffrey Jurisdiction has been called England’s most important political and cultural issue of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, as the multiple and overlapping political and legal authorities of the high medieval period moved toward increasing (although by no means complete) consolidation.1 The importance of jurisdiction as a force in law, politics, and culture is no surprise to historians of the English north and the Scottish borders; as the scholarship of Cynthia Neville shows, disputed jurisdictional powers and contested boundaries are the very stuff of history in the border region.2 For the southern English historian these issues have not seemed so obvious, perhaps, but they were a vital aspect of life in the south, too. The London area, for instance, was a bricolage of separate jurisdictions: both within the walls of the City itself and in its suburbs were numerous liberties, territorial zones that by royal grant exercised varying levels of independence from the City, the bishop of London, and in some ways even the crown.3 Religious houses governed most of these precincts and by the fifteenth 1 James Simpson, Reform and Cultural Revolution: 1350-1547 (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2004), 1; see also Bradin Cormack, A Power to Do Justice: Jurisdiction, English Literature, and the Rise of Common Law (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2009); Tom Johnson, “Law, Space, and Local Knowledge in Late-Medieval England” (Ph.D., Birkbeck College, University of London, 2014); Seán Patrick Donlan and Dirk Heirbaut, eds., The Laws’ Many Bodies: Studies in Legal Hybridity and Jurisdictional Complexity, c1600-1900 (Berlin: Duncker and Humblot, 2015), especially Anthony Musson’s essay “Jurisdictional Complexity: The Survival of Private Jurisdictions in England,” 109- 26; R.

Graham S McBain1 1 Solicitor. MA (Cantab), LLB (Cantab), LLM (Harv). Open Scholar, Peterhouse, Cambridge. Fulbright Scholar, Harvard Law School. Correspondence: Graham S McBain, 21 Millmead Terrace, Guildford, Surrey GU2 4AT, UK. E-mail: [email protected] Received: August 23, 2012 Accepted: December 17, 2012 Online Published: July 5, 2013 doi:10.5539/ilr.v2n1p32 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ilr.v2n1p32 Abstract The ‘City of London’ is famed throughout the world. However, few people realise that, today, it is actually very limited in physical ambit (to the ‘Square Mile’). And, that it is not the same as the city of London as such. Nor, that it’s mayor (the Lord Mayor of the City of London) is not the same as the Mayor of London (currently, Boris Johnson). However, the City of London is governed by a series of charters from c. 1132. Charters in which sovereigns of England - in return for generous loans and sums of money - granted to the City of London many Crown prerogatives (privileges). These charters were to be replicated in numerous other charters granted to cities, boroughs and towns throughout England in the ensuing centuries. This article argues that - in modern times - we need modern law. Law that is understandable to laymen as well as lawyers. It also argues that all these charters granted to the City of London are palpably obsolete and should be cancelled.
