The talk will be on 'Beaulieu and its River' by the engaging local speaker Richard Waters. On Sunday 13th October committee member Ralph Montagu is presenting two events, the intriguing new film Last Will. and Testament and a Tour of Titchfield Abbey. These events celebrate the fact that former holder of the Beaulieu Estate in the 17th century, Henry Wriothesley, who also lived at Titchfield Abbey, was a patron of Contents playright William Shakespeare.

    ASPECTS OF TIlE MONASTIC PATRONAGE OF TIlE ENGLISH AND FRENCH ROYAL HOUSES, c. 1130-1270 by Elizabeth M. Hallani VC i% % Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in History presented at the University of London. 1976. / •1 ii SUMMARY This study takes as its theme the relationship of the English and French kings and the religious orders, £.1130-1270, Patronage in general is a field relatively neglected in the rich literature on the monastic life, and royal patronage has never before been traced over a broad period for both France and England. The chief concern here is with royal favour shown towards the various orders of monks and friars, in the foundations and donations made by the kings. This is put in the context of monastic patronage set in a wider field, and of the charters and pensions which are part of its formaL expression. The monastic foundations and the general pattern of royal donations to different orders are discussed in some detail in the core of the work; the material is divided roughly according to the reigns of the kings. Evidence from chronicles and the physical remains of buildings is drawn upon as well as collections of charters and royal financial documents. The personalities and attitudes of the monarchs towards the religious hierarchy, the way in which monastic patronage reflects their political interests, and the contrasts between English and French patterns of patronage are all analysed, and the development of the royal monastic mausoleum in Western Europe is discussed as a special case of monastic patronage. A comparison is attempted of royal and non-royal foundations based on a statistical analysis.

Abstract: The Cistercian order is of acoustic interest because previous research has hypothesized that Cistercian architectural structures were designed for longer reverberation times in order to reinforce Gregorian chants. The presented study focused on an archaeoacacoustics analysis of the Cistercian Beaulieu Abbey (Hampshire, England, UK), using Geometrical Acoustics (GA) to recreate and investigate the acoustical properties of the original structure. To construct an acoustic model of the Abbey, the building’s dimensions and layout were retrieved from published archaeology research and comparison with equivalent structures. Absorption and scattering coefficients were assigned to emulate the original room surface materials’ acoustics properties. CATT-Acoustics was then used to perform the acoustics analysis of the simplified building structure. Shorter reverbera- tion time (RTs) was generally observed at higher frequencies for all the simulated scenarios. Low speech intelligibility index (STI) and speech clarity (C50) values were observed across Abbey’s nave section. Despite limitations given by the impossibility to calibrate the model according to in situ measurements conducted in the original structure, the simulated acoustics performance suggested Citation: Duran, S.; Chambers, M.; how the Abbey could have been designed to promote sacral music and chants, rather than preserve Kanellopoulos, I.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

Titchfield lies between Southampton and Portsmouth, about two'miles from the shores of the Solent, and is the largest civil parish in Hampshire, 17,500 acres in extent. 'Few country towns have a history more varied or of greater interest. The Meonwara occupied the valley which extends from the mouth of the Meon or Titchfield River, two miles below the town, northward as far as East Meon. The discovery of flint weapons and implements shows that the site of Titchfield was occupied long before the Roman invasion, and its river served as a means of, com- munication with the inhabitants of the valley. In Domesday Book Ticefelle, i.e., the manor of Titchfield, is described as a berewick or village belonging to Meonstoke and held by the King, as it had been in the time of Edward the Confessor.

It is also one of the most interesting of the counties, from the importance in early English history of its charming capital, the architectural value of its Cathedral and three of its other churches, its beautiful combinations of woodland and sea, its possession of more genuine forest than all the rest of England put together, and its chief place in the naval position of England, owing to the two great harbours afforded by its fortunate coast-line. To an editor of Memorials of Old Hampshire the first difficulty, therefore, is clearly of selection. It would not be difficult to imagine another volume of the present size made up only of those subjects that—for one reason or another—I have been obliged to pass over.

Visitors have been exploring the medieval abbey ruins since 1912 and in 1952 my father opened our family home Palace House to visitors, making it one of the first stately homes to be opened to the public. In 1956 he added a motor museum in the grounds as a memorial to my grandfather, a leading pioneer motorist. The car collection, which started as a small display in the front hall of Palace House, is now the National Motor Museum with over 250 historic and modern vehicles. Since my father’s death in 2015, we have opened more areas of the house, including his study and a new fully restored Victorian Kitchen.

    2015 II King John and Religion, Paul Webster (Suffolk: Boydell, 2015). Review by: Dr Sean McGlynn Review: King John and Religion King John and Religion. By Paul Webster. Suffolk: Boydell, 2015. ISBN 978-1- 7832-7029-3. 250 pp. £60. f Queen Elizabeth I really did not wish for windows to see into men’s souls, she was being wise. One’s religious beliefs and outward piety and one’s actions do not necessarily match up neatly. After all, I Adolf Hitler was a saintly choirboy and Stalin trained as a seminari- an. How much harder, then, to delve back eight centuries to peer intensely into King John’s soul and to investigate his spirituality. Could such a palpably bad man (there is little serious academic disagreement or compunction over issuing that moral verdict) still be a pious king? Perhaps because historians have had so many of John’s juicy sins to pore over, the question of his per- sonal and monarchical religion has not previously received a full-length mon- ograph. Paul Webster puts this right in an extremely important book that Jo- hannine scholars will be citing for a very long time. Webster’s comprehensive treatment of the subject makes it all the more perplexing that this area has not received such thorough treatment before. John’s reported disrespect and poor regard for matters of faith; the great clash with the Papacy leading to Interdict and excommunication; John’s ex- ploitation of the Church in England; the subsequent settlement and submis- sion of the kingdom as a papal fief; and John’s personal religious habits and proclivities – all these areas are rich seams to mine and Webster has tunnelled deep to collect some nuggets.
