  • Wesleyana at Keighley
    PROCEEDINGS WIG WASHI:tlG. We will close our survey of early Methodist circuit finance by looking at the intriguing item "Wig washing 5/-", as it only occurs in the first year's accounts. One's imagination, nourished on plates in eRrly copies of the AtTJiinian .Magazine, pictures the preachers with a straight fringe of natural hair on the forehead ; but now and then one finds a wig. John Allen (1766-1810), the senior preacher at this time, is likely to have worn one. What kind of a wig it was can be gathered from Sutcliffe's account of the Conference, 1790. (P,o,udiflgs xv, 57). A long table being placed across the Chapel, which had no pews, Mr. Wesley sat in a chair at the head of the table, and about 20 venerable men on the benches, 10 on each side, distinguished by bushy or cauli­ flower Wijls. Aged men that had borne the beat of the day." It is true we are left in delicious uncertainty as to whether some wigs were bu.~hy and some were r,,.iulijlower. Or whether every wig was both bushy and catdijf,tl'Wl'I', But this insoluble uncertainty increases the fascination of the phrase. The late F. H. MILLS. This concludes Mr. Mills' notes on Early Methodist finance in the Wakefield Circuit. We hope to print in our next issue an interesting description which he appended of 1. remarkable character amonc the first Methodists in the town, whom he cal!1 "one of the men behind the money." WESLEYANA AT KEIGHLEY The Temple Street Church, Keighley, is one of the historic churches of Methodism.

  • Wakefield, West Riding: the Economy of a Yorkshire Manor
    WAKEFIELD, WEST RIDING: THE ECONOMY OF A YORKSHIRE MANOR By BRUCE A.

I must thank Dr. Alain Saint-Saens for his generous encouragement and advice concerning not only graduate work but the historian's profession in general; also Dr. Joseph Byrnes for so kindly serving on my committee at such short notice. To Dr. Ron Petrin I extend my heartfelt appreciation for his unflagging concern for my academic progress; our relationship has been especially rewarding on both an academic and personal level. In particular I would like to thank my friend and mentor, Dr. Paul Bischoff who has guided my explorations of the medieval world and its denizens. His dogged--and occasionally successful--efforts to develop my skills are directly responsible for whatever small progress I may have made as an historian. To my friends and fellow teaching assistants I extend warmest thanks for making the past two years so enjoyable. For the many hours of comradeship and mutual sympathy over the trials and tribulations of life as a teaching assistant I thank Wendy Gunderson, Sandy Unruh, Deidre Myers, Russ Overton, Peter Kraemer, and Kelly McDaniels.
