M.DCC.XCVIII. <II> <blank> <III> TO THE HONORABLE AND RIGHT REVEREND BROWNLOW, LORD BISHOP OF WINCHESTER, PRELATE OF THE MOST NOBLE ORDER OF THE GARTER, &c. MY LORD, IT is with much respect that I make use of the permission, you have given me of prefixing your name to this volume, which cannot but stamp a credit on it, much beyond its merits. The honor your Lordship has done me in the encouragement of my History from the first publication of it, and this <IV> continuance of it is a still further mark of your par= tiality to a county with which you are still materially connected by the relationship of your noble family, their large extended property and principal residence in it, a partiality strengthened by your Lordship’s having presided over the chapter of the metropoli= tical church of Canterbury, when you first honored me with your notice and where the liberal conduct and affability of dean NORTH is still held in a pleasing and grateful remembrance. Permit me, my Lord, to return you my most respectful thanks for these re= peated marks of your favor. That your Lordship may long continue to make happy that diocese, over which you now so worthily preside, are the fervent wishes of, my Lord, Your Lordship’s much obliged, and most obedient servant, EDWARD HASTED.

  • Stapylton Final Version
    1 THE PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE OF FREEDOM FROM ARREST, 1603–1629 Keith A. T. Stapylton UCL Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Page 2 DECLARATION I, Keith Anthony Thomas Stapylton, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed Page 3 ABSTRACT This thesis considers the English parliamentary privilege of freedom from arrest (and other legal processes), 1603-1629. Although it is under-represented in the historiography, the early Stuart Commons cherished this particular privilege as much as they valued freedom of speech. Previously one of the privileges requested from the monarch at the start of a parliament, by the seventeenth century freedom from arrest was increasingly claimed as an ‘ancient’, ‘undoubted’ right that secured the attendance of members, and safeguarded their honour, dignity, property, and ‘necessary’ servants. Uncertainty over the status and operation of the privilege was a major contemporary issue, and this prompted key questions for research. First, did ill definition of the constitutional relationship between the crown and its prerogatives, and parliament and its privileges, lead to tensions, increasingly polemical attitudes, and a questioning of the royal prerogative? Where did sovereignty now lie? Second, was it important to maximise the scope of the privilege, if parliament was to carry out its business properly? Did ad hoc management of individual privilege cases nevertheless have the cumulative effect of enhancing the authority and confidence of the Commons? Third, to what extent was the exploitation or abuse of privilege an unintended consequence of the strengthening of the Commons’ authority in matters of privilege? Such matters are not treated discretely, but are embedded within chapters that follow a thematic, broadly chronological approach.

The interest with which I have read his pages will I am sure be shared by all who have at heart the well-being of an Institution which occupies a unique place in English history, although happily there is not anything unique nowadays in the endeavour which the Magdalen Hospital makes in face of a gigantic evil. The story Mr. Compston tells gives abundant evidence of the change for the better in public opinion regarding this crying wrong and its remedy. It shows too the growth of a sounder judg- ment as to the methods of dealing with it. For every reason it is right that this book should have been written, and Mr.

  • BROMLEY MANOR and PALACE Through the Centuries
    BROMLEY MANOR AND PALACE Through the centuries by PATRICIA E.KNOWLDEN Bromley Borough Local History Society 1996 1 The Palace in c.1900, much as the buildlng is today. 2 3 Bromley Manorand Palace The story of Bromley manor and its palace Stretches back for over 1,000 years. Whether it was based on a Roman estate we cannot teil but, by late Anglo-Saxon times it had an area of 10 ploughlands - or as much arable as 10 teams of oxen could deal with, perhaps 1,800 acres; plus meadow-land, woods and so on. So it was quite a size, much bigger than the parish of Bromley was later on. In the year 862 King Ethelbert granted this estate to one of his courtiers for Services rendered - and Services expected in the future - and his charter describes the boundary.1 Briefly, commencing near Lower Sydenham Station on the boundary of Lewisham it ran along its border and then that of Mottingham to CREG SETNA (now the Crays) and then turned south to FEARN BIORG and on to CYSSE STAN, by WICHAMMESMEARK (mark means boundary) and BIOHHA HAM, back to the beginning. This is not the only charter for Bromley. There are others, including one with the date of AD955 in which Bromley is granted by King Edgar to St.Andrew's Priory at Rochester, the fore-runner of Rochester Cathedral; but the charter is a "forgery" because neither King Edgar nor the principle witness, Archbishop Dunstan, were in Office in 955. Or rather, it is a back-dating of a legitimate Claim when the original papers were missing, as was eventually confirmed in AD998 by King Ethelred.

  • The Berkeleys of Canterbury
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 69 1955 THE BERKELEYS OF CANTERBURY AN EIGHTEENTH CENTURY STUDY By DOKOTHY GARDINER, F.S.A. I RECENTLY became possessed (from a second-hand bookseller's cata- logue) of a copy of the will of Mrs. Eliza Berkeley, the wife of George Berkeley, Canon of Canterbury in the sixth Prebend, 1768-95. The will is contained in a small neatly bound volume, clearly written and carefully indexed. Mrs. Berkeley speaks of having a fair copy made of certain " scralled sheets " on which she had written, and subsequently altered and interlined, her last will and testament. Mine would seem to be the copy in question, for there are pencilled notes by Mrs. Berkeley in the margins. She died in 1800, and had left the Precincts, Canter- bury, five years earlier, on her husband, the Canon's, death. She had also left Canterbury and was living at Chertsey, and, when the end came, at Cheltenham. But her memory of the Precincts and her Kentish entourage was very vivid, and with her help and the contem- porary biographies of some of her friends, together with the Minutes of the Dean and Chapter in her husband's time, one may create a picture of Canterbury life during the latter half of the eighteenth century and bring to view certain very interesting people. II The Precincts seems not to have been at this time a very quiet place. Soldiers had been in the habit of parading and exercising there, causing so much inconvenience that, at Midsummer, 1780, the Dean and Chapter forbade the practice, though a few months later they so far relented as to allow parade " for the purpose and during the time of roll-call only "—at the discretion of the Dean or Vice-Dean.

DENNETT, PRINTER, UNION BUILDINGS, LEATHER LANE. iii PREFACE. The subject of the present work, after a protracted consideration of some years, was entered upon by the author with the greatest diffidence, from a consciousness of the uncertainty as to how far it might be possible, by personal application, to obtain the intelligence absolutely necessary to make it acceptable. He was sensible that nothing short of a disposition all but universal in his favour could enable him to give it such a stamp of originality and novelty as might warrant the expectation of ultimate success. The difficulties here intimated, however, have been surmounted even to an extent exceeding his most sanguine anticipation; and in return the author can claim for himself, with the greatest confidence, the merit of not having abused so unexpected and liberal a patronage.
