  • Some Sources for English Benedictine History
    SOME SOURCES FOR ENGLISH BENEDICTINE HISTORY by DOM VINCENT MARRON T h is article concerns the history of the English Benedictine Congregation in particular during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when all the communities which made up the Con­ gregation were living abroad and sending monks to England to serve on the mission. In recent years, the study of Catholicism in England during these centuries has intensified, and many are now engaged in research into Recusant history. When, as a result of all this labour, the records are known and understood, an assess­ ment may become possible. In such an assessment the part played by the clergy is bound to be an important factor, and among the clergy the Benedictines, though less numerous than the secular priests or the Jesuits, are worthy of consideration.1 There is at once a difficulty. The records of the Congregation are to be found not only in England but in many places in Europe. The scope, importance and exact location of those that have sur­ vived the upheavals of the past are known only to a few. Before any history can be attempted, a systematic account must be given of the extant records. My purpose here is to say where some records are today and to suggest where others might be found. The account given will, no doubt, prove incomplete, and may serve as a starting point for a more systematic account. Before considering the records themselves, it will be well to rehearse, for the benefit of those who are unfamiliar with the subject, the origin of the term ‘English Congregation’.

  • The Sixty Years of Foundation, 1615-1676
    Chapter 1 The Sixty Years of Foundation, 1615-1676 Dr. Paul Arblaster English Benedictine community life in Paris began in 1615. In that year a group of six English monks from the monastery of St Laurence at Dieulouard in Lorraine arrived in Paris to erect a Benedictine house of studies under the earthly patronage of Princess Marie de Lorraine, Abbess of the ancient Royal Abbey of Chelles. 1 The six monks to form the community were Clement Reyner, Nicholas Curre, George Gaire, Alban Roe and Placid Gascoigne and Dunstan Pettinger. 2 Their first superior was Augustine Bradshaw, the man who had established St Gregory’s in Douai (now Downside) and St Laurence’s in Dieulouard (now Ampleforth). 3 He was installed on 25 June 1615, perhaps significantly the feast of St Adelbert, one of the Anglo-Saxon monks included in the Roman martyrology. This date can be taken as the foundation of the community. It was to take another sixty years for the community to obtain suitable buildings and anything like a secure financial basis. As Dom Stephen Marron wrote (with dates inserted by the present author): It was a very long time before they were securely established [1632], ten years before they were able to purchase any property of their own in Paris [1642], nearly another ten years before they obtained royal letters of establishment [1650] and full recognition from ecclesiastical authorities as a monastery [1656], and still another twenty years after that before they were able to lay the foundations of their church and monastery [1674]. 4 The first community (1615) In 1600 John Bradshaw was the first Englishman to make his profession as a Benedictine monk of the Spanish congregation, in the monastery of St Martin in Compostella.

  • Monasticism in the Salisbury Diocese in the Middle Ages
    MONKS AND MONASTICISM DAY SCHOOL AT DOUAI ABBEY, 21 OCTOBER 2000 Professor Brian Kemp, University of Reading MONASTICISM IN THE SALISBURY DIOCESE IN THE MIDDLE AGES (in broadest sense) 1. In the Middle Ages, Berkshire formed part of the diocese of Salisbury. [This continued until 1836, when Berkshire was transferred to the diocese of Oxford] 2. Berkshire contained two of the greatest Benedictine abbeys, Abingdon and Reading, and the second of these, founded in 1121, one of the last of the Black Monk abbeys to be founded. [Reading Abbey is] located in east of the county, and in east of the diocese. I plan to focus towards the end of this talk on Reading, but before I do so – and as a prelude to set Reading in the wider context of monastic history in the diocese - I want to look at the range of religious houses available. 3. Map of English and Welsh dioceses [Pre-dissolution]. 1 4. Pre-Conquest monasteries. Male and female. [Benedictine only]. Note concentration in Dorset. Comment on paucity of female houses in Berkshire ([That in] Reading gone before 1066). Note concentration of great female houses close to Wilts / Dorset border. Note essential new start in the tenth century [known as the Tenth Century Reformation]. 2 5. Benedictine and Cluniac Male Monasteries in Dorset in Middle Ages. (Cluniac [was a] reformed, rich and grand form of Benedictine) Holme [was] founded c. 1150 as daughter house of Montacute [Somerset]. Otherwise all pre-Conquest, but note vicissitudes of: a) Cranbourne, moved in 1102 to Tewkesbury [Gloucestershire]; b) Sherborne, cathedral until 1075/8, after which subordinated as a priory to Salisbury, 1122 restored as an abbey; c) Horton, reduced to priory status in 1122 x 39 and annexed to Sherborne 3 6.
