  • Our Bishops' Lent Challenge This Year Raises Awareness of Environmental
    Our Bishops’ Lent Challenge this year raises awareness of environmental issues. Few of us can be unaware of the critical and urgent environmental challenges facing the world. Christians are rediscovering that caring for the creation God brought into being, and which God loves, is a vital part of our mission, as well as being an issue of justice. Our programme for Lent 2020 offers a range of opportunities to engage with this challenge: on your own, with others, listening to sermons and addresses, attending presentations, reading a Lent book, sharing in a Home Group, or giving up something for Lent and supporting a charity. The Church of England’s national Lent campaign is available in various formats: social media, an app, daily emails and booklets. Search for #LiveLent: Care for God’s Creation Lent Sunday Sermons and Meet the Preacher Following the 10.00 am Sunday Service you are welcome to discuss the sermon with the preacher over coffee or tea. Ending by 12 noon these conversations will take place in the Edmund Room. Sunday 1 March - Richard Stainer, Diocesan World Development Advisor Sunday 8 March - The Ven Sally Gaze, Archdeacon for Rural Mission Sunday 15 March - Bishop Graeme Knowles, Honorary Assistant Bishop Sunday 29 March - The Ven David Jenkins, Archdeacon of Sudbury Tuesday Evenings in Lent Climate Change and East Anglia A series of presentations in the Edmund Room on climate change related issues for this region, with questions and answers following each presentation.

  • Records of the Sudbury Archdeaconry.
    267 RECORDS OF THE SUDBURY ARCHDEACONRY. BY VINCENT B. REDSTONE, H. TERRIERSAND SURVEYS. Constitutions and Canon,Ecclesiastical, issued in 1604, contain an injunction (No. 87), " that a T HEtrue note and terrier of all the glebe lands, &c., . and portions of tithes lying out of their parishes—which belong to any Parsonage, Vicarage, or rural Prebend. be taken by the view of honest men in every parish, by the appointnient of the Bishop—whereof the minister be one—and be laid up in the Bishop's Registry, there to be for a perpetual memory thereof." This injunction does not fix the frequency with which the terriers were to be procured by the Bishop, and, consequently, existing docu- ments of that• character are not to be found for any definite years or periods. It is evident by the existence of early terriers in .the keeping -of the Registrar for the Archdeacon of Sudbury, that such returns were made by churchwardens along .with their presentments• before the year 1604. The terriers at Bury St. Edmund's commence as early as 1576, whilst those in the Bishop's Registry at Norwich, date from 1627.. It is unknown from what circumstances the Archdeacons' Registrars became i)ossessed Of documents which the above mentioned canon dis- tinctly enjoins should be laid up in the Bishop's Registry. In the Exchequer 'there is a terrier of all the glebe lands in England, made about the eleventh year of the reign'of Edward iii. The taxes levied upon the temporal . v VOL. xi.

Below: Revd Judith relaxes with her husband, Rufus, after a long and hectic day. On probably the coldest night of the Autumn and in the middle of a complete blackout due to a third power cut in two days, 350 souls made their way to Boxford St Mary’s for the Licensing and Installation of the Reverend Judith Sweetman as Priest in charge of the Box River Benefice. Despite the power cut the church was beautifully lit with candles and torches and filled with folk from the five Benefice parishes and from Judith's previous parish at Coggeshall together with friends and colleagues from all over the county. There were in fact 36 priests present (is that a flock or a surplice) and with the combined choirs of the Benefice and Coggeshall they probably made the procession the longest seen in Boxford St Mary’s in living memory. The Rt Reverend Nigel Stock, The Lord Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich led the licensing assisted by The Archdeacon of Sudbury, the Ven. David Jenkins. Power was still off as the service started but just as the Bishop sat in his throne the church was filled with light. We had been expecting this to happen with the penultimate hymn ‘Let There Be Light’.

  • ( 380 ) the Parish of Hepworth, and Its Rectors. By
    ( 380 ) THE PARISH OF HEPWORTH, AND ITS RECTORS. BY THOMASTINDALMETHOLD. HE ,Parish of Hepworth, in the Hundred of Black- burne, in Suffolk, was, at the time of'the Domesday Survey, situate partly in the Hundred of•Black- burne, and partly in that of Brademere. These two Hundreds subSequently 116 became absorbed in the . double Hundred of Black- ; burne ; and, indeed, from • Domesday itself it would '1111!'l appear that the two Hundreds must, at all events for the purpose -of taxation, have been treated together, as the geld stated to be payable for lands in Brademere Hundred only amounted to 11s. 101d., yet the geld for the two hundreds amounts to £1 19s. 8d. ; that to say, as nearly as may be to £2, the double unit for calculation of the taxation of the double hundred. Mr. Corbett in the able essay on the Domesday Survey in the Eastern Counties, 'for which he obtained the Thirfwall prize for 1892; at the University of Cambridge, calls attention to the. fact that in Abbot Sampson's Calendar, compiled about 100 years later than the Domesday Survey, it is stated that in the double Hundred of Blackburne there were 35 vills or towns divided into THE PARISH OF HEPWORTH, AND ITS RECTORS. 381 14 leets, and shows that each of these 14 leets paid the sum of 341d. ,or thereabouts, or an equal fourteenth share of the geld of £2 properly payable by the double Hundred. The seventh leet of the Hundred comprised Hepworth', Honington, and half of .Ixworth Thorp. In Domesday we find that Hepworth paid 171d., Honington Thorpe 9d.

  • The Hammer-Beam Roof: Tradition, Innovation and the Carpenter’S Art in Late Medieval England
    The Hammer-Beam Roof: Tradition, Innovation and the Carpenter’s Art in Late Medieval England Robert Beech A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Art History, Film and Visual Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis is about late medieval carpenters, their techniques and their art, and about the structure that became the fusion of their technical virtuosity and artistic creativity: the hammer-beam roof. The structural nature and origin of the hammer-beam roof is discussed, and it is argued that, although invented in the late thirteenth century, during the fourteenth century the hammer-beam roof became a developmental dead-end. In the early fifteenth century the hammer-beam roof suddenly blossomed into hundreds of structures of great technical proficiency and aesthetic acumen. The thesis assesses the role of the hammer-beam roof of Westminster Hall as the catalyst to such renewed enthusiasm. This structure is analysed and discussed in detail.

  • But He Intends Shortly to Publish the Grounds on Which It Is Based. These
    BLYFORD CHURCH. 427 but he intends shortly to publish the grounds on which it is based. These are sufficient in range and degree to make it unfair to reject the interpretation until they are considered :— • A N 13 T — MARIA St /6*1.NHK R Ad-Nomina JeSus Beata t Sanctee Trinitatis (et) MARIw Sanctarum ANnte Honoria Katarince Reconstructa. It should be moticed that the chancel is rebuilt, and that Saints Anne and Katherine are often associated, that to St. Anne was dedicated the corresponding chapel to.that of the Blessed Virgin, and that within the Lombardic T, after St., is a shield bearing circular flints, correspond- ing to the circles of the Pater Filius shield. Tea was served at the " White Hart Inn," Blythburgh; and the party re-mounted and were driven to Blyford Church, where Rev. John F. Noott, B.A., read the following brief description :— BLYFORD CHURCH. The donative of Blyford offers a cordial greeting to the Suffolk Archaeological Society,. and, although she has not much to be proud of, yet there are a few features of Archmological and:Ecclesiastical interest. As a donative she forms a member of about 300 similar benefices scattered throughout the country, chiefly associated witb , and attached to, ancient castles, manors, and proprietory rights. It is difficult to arrive at a solution of their original foundation. Enquiry has been made at the British Museum for documents, of Ecclesiastical professors at Cambridge, and of an eminent Roman Catholic, but without success, it therefore -became necessary to fall back upon tradition derived from an old fellow and tutor of Caius College, Cambridge, who was lord of the manor, patron of ,the benefice, and owner of a great part of the parish.
