Hereward and the Witch 3 2. A Necromancer in the Lady Chapel 5 3. Witchcraft and the Reformation 9 4. Witchfinders in Ely 11 5. Witchcraft in Ely in Modern Times 15 Notes 20 Introduction The Cambridgeshire Fens are one of the last places in England where traditional belief in witchcraft was widespread. Until as late as the mid-twentieth century, Fenland communities were isolated, and their inhabitants were more vulnerable to environmental illnesses, such as malaria, than the rest of the population. A hard life, geographical isolation, close-knit communities and mistrust of outsiders may all have contributed to the Fenlanders’ abiding belief in the power of witchcraft. Ely’s place in the history of English witchcraft is a special one. As the cathedral city at the heart of the Fens, under the independent jurisdiction of the Bishop, Ely was the place where anyone locally accused of witchcraft would be brought to trial. The city was the hub from which John Stearne completed the last stage of Matthew Hopkins’s infamous witch-hunt in the 1640s, and Ely was the scene for the (quite literal) downfall of the first ‘witch’ to appear in English history.

  • The Return of the King (1658±1660)
    1 The Return of the King (1658±1660) 1 The Fall of the Protectorate (September 1658±April 1659)1 `All Men wondred to see all so quiet, in so dangerous a time' wrote the Puritan minister Richard Baxter of the autumn of 1658.The death of Oliver Cromwell on 3 September signalled no discernible quickening of either royalist or repub- lican pulses.There was no sudden or general upsurge of public opinion either against the Protectorate or for a return to monarchy: `Contrary to all expec- tation both at home and abroad, this earthquake was attended with no signal alteration', recalled Charles II's Chancellor, Edward Hyde, afterwards Earl of Clarendon.2 Nor, though `all the commonwealth party' may have `cried out upon [Richard's] assuming the protectorship, as a high usurpation', was there any concerted attempt by republicans to undo what they saw as the perversion of the Good Old Cause into the tyranny of rule by a single person: `There is not a dogge that waggs his tongue, soe great a calm are wee in', observed John Thurloe, Oliver's, and now Richard's, Secretary of State.3 The Humble Petition and Advice, the Protectorate's constitution since 1657, empowered Cromwell to name his successor, but this was managed `so sleightly, as some doubt whether he did it at all' reported John Barwick, future Dean of St Paul's, in a letter to Charles II.Nevertheless, despite the want of any formal or written nomination, Richard Cromwell's succession was generally accepted not only without opposition but with signs of positive relief.The proclamation of his

  • Date Ellingham Kirby Cane
    Date Ellingham Kirby Cane 1642 James Clarke was overseer of the poor. Civil War Norfolk, together with Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire and the Isle of Ely were linked together under the Parliamentarian forces for mutual defence in December 1642 (the Eastern Association), from which Oliver Cromwell raised the nucleus of his New Model Army. Parliament rejected from their livings any minister suspected of Catholic and/or Royalist sympathies. Since ours stayed in post, one assumes they kept their heads down. Iconoclasts were busy destroying any image of saints, angels or the Trinity. Maybe this is when the bishop in Ellingham lost his nose and the angel on his crosier. 1643 Lowestoft, was then a small herring fishing town (population about 1,500) without a harbour, though sizable vessels could anchor off shore. The houses were on the cliff top. Yarmouth was a Parliamentary town; Lowestoft seems not to have had strong attachment either way. Informants told Cromwell, then at Norwich with 5 troops of Eastern Association forces, that there were Royalists fortifying at Lowestoft. He set out the next morning, probably at dawn, so would have arrived about noon and drew up, together with a force from Great Yarmouth that had cannon. The resistance which Lowestoft presented was to block roads in (except where they had placed 3 cannon dragged up from the battery at Ness point and placed at the top of Rant Score to cover the market place and High Street) and put a chain across to stop a cavalry charge. Cromwell ordered the town to give up the strangers, town and army or take the consequences.

Johnson Jesse Locker Portland State University ©2012 Abstract In 1655, Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell’s Council of State commissioned a group of army officers for the purpose of “securing the peace of the commonwealth.” Under the authority of the Instrument of Government , a written constitution not sanctioned by Parliament, the Council sent army major-generals into the counties to raise new horse militias and to support them financially with a tax on Royalists which the army officers would also collect. In counties such as Essex—the focus of this study—the major-generals were assisted in their work by small groups of commissioners, mostly local men “well-affected” to the Interregnum government.

  • The Apprenticeship of George
    The Apprenticeship of George Fox Presidential Address to the Friends' Historical Society, 1965 By JANET PAYNE WHITNEY NE of the most interesting c uestions we can ask about If a great man is "How die. he become that way? What forces played upon his childish years? How did he develop in adolescence? And when manhood brought its major choice of a career, what influenced him? When a great character leaves behind him a detailed diary we are a long way towards answering those questions, and fortunately we have the journal of George Fox of which John Nickalls, one time the Librarian of the Religious Society of Friends, made a neat one-volume edition, carefully culling from all the available manuscripts. This is easy to handle, easy to read and has the benefit of an index. It is the edition to which page references can most readily be made.1 I am also the possessor of a first folio printed in 1694—the one prepared by George Fox's stepson-in-law Dr. Thomas Lower,2 with the long fascinating biographical preface by William Penn, and the testimony of Margaret Fox concerning her late husband George Fox. With all this one might hope not only to have, what we do have, a vivid impression of Fox the man—the leader, the friend, the husband—but also some account of his earliest disposition and development. But of the three witnesses mentioned, Penn, Lower and Margaret Fell all became acquainted with Fox in his maturity. We depend therefore upon George Fox alone to find out about his childhood and earliest youth.

  • 'He Would Not Meddle Against Newark…' Cromwell's Strategic Vision 1643-1644
    CROMWELL’S STRATEGIC VISION 1643-1644 ‘He would not meddle against Newark…’ Cromwell’s strategic vision 1643-1644 MARTYN BENNETT* Nottingham Trent University, UK, Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Cromwell with some justification is identified with East Anglia and this is often true of his early military career. However, his earliest campaigns were often focused on the area west of the Eastern Association counties and in particular they centred on the royalist garrison at Newark. This heavily defended town dominated several important communications arteries which Cromwell saw capturing the town as crucial to winning the war, at least in the region. Cromwell’s ruthless pursuit of his goal led him to criticize and even attack his superiors who did not see things his way. This article explores Cromwell’s developing strategic sense in the initial two years of the first civil war.
