  • The Earl of Essex's Chaplain: Rev. Abdias Assheton
    The Earl of Essex’s chaplain: Rev. Abdias Assheton Anne Falloon, Middleton Archaeological Society 1 Introduction Abdias Assheton (1563-1633) was a member of Middleton’s manorial family who rose to some prominence in the final years of Elizabeth I’s reign. A Protestant with strong Puritan leanings, as an academic and preacher he sought all his answers not from centuries old tradition as his Catholic forebears had done, but directly from a deep reading of the bible. In the 1590’s his approach to thinking through religious and moral choices using scripture attracted the attention of the greatest man in England. This is the story of the controversial relationship between Essex and the influential chaplain he called his ‘little man’, Abdias Assheton. 2 The Asshetons and religion In the mid 16th century, members of the Assheton 1 family were faced with the decision everyone in the country had to consider: to accept the new state religion or adhere to the old one. There were costs attached to remaining faithful. Staunch Catholics felt they were risking their souls without the rituals of confessing to a priest and receiving the actual body and blood of Christ. As the century progressed, there were increasing worldly costs of not conforming in Elizabeth’s England. Catholic recusants who refused to attend church or take communion were heavily fined. Noble and gentry families could afford to pay, but only the wealthiest were able to continue losing income indefinitely. The majority of people opted for safety: committed Anglican Protestants conformed with enthusiasm, but others, the Calvinists and Puritans, were still nursing the ambition of purifying the English church still further.

  • Sir William Paddy, M.D. (1554-1634)
    SIR WILLIAM PADDY, M.D. (1554-1634) by DONALD S. PADY* INTRODUCTION JOHN AuBREY described Sir William Paddy, M.D. as 'an incomparable person', and 'one of the first learned men who made a physician's practice his study'.' Paddy's medical leadership influenced the professional development and legal responsibilities of contemporary English physicians, and his literary interests exemplified the qualities and difficulties around him during the Elizabethan, Jacobean, and Carolinian periods of British history. Few facts surround his early life in London. His parents, Roger and Margery Paddy, had commercial and coastal freight-shipping interests, which provided ample financial support to William and his younger brother, Nicholas.2 William attended Merchant Taylors' School from 15 January 1568 to 1570. Among his friends were Lancelot Andrewes, Giles Tomson, and Thomas Dove, who later became the Bishops of Winchester, Gloucester, and Peterborough, respectively, and who translated parts of the King James I version (1611) of the Bible. Edmund Spenser, a poor 'free journeyman's son' who later became England's poet laureate, also went to Merchant Taylors' during this time. Paddy then entered St. John's College, Oxford, as a commoner in 1571. Here he earned the B.A. degree on 7 July 1573. He studied and practised medicine in the University of Leyden during the next sixteen years, and returned to England after receiving the M.D. degree on 21 July 1589w (fig. 1). After examination by the College ofPhysicians on 23 December 1589 for a permit to practise within London's city limits, he had yet to be incorporated as an M.D.

I have been blessed with both. This dissertation was inspired and guided by Thomas Cogswell, who suggested this topic when he cryptically advised me to look into Sir William Cordell. I have never looked back. Since then he has taught me the importance of telling history’s stories in a way that engages the reader, the horrors of using the passive voice, how to tease a narrative out of a seemingly dry manuscript, and the necessity of making writing a priority. For all of this and more, I am grateful. My other committee members have been equally encouraging and inspiring. Georg Michels encouraged me to stay in graduate school the first year of my Ph.D. program when I became overwhelmed and discouraged. His keen eye for consistency in narrative and argument has been instrumental in shaping how I think about historical writing. He also introduced me to the history of Imperial Russia, my favorite distraction from Early Modern England.

Ball The Seventh-day Sabbatarian movement during the post-Restoration years, like English Nonconformity in general, found itself on the defensive and running for cover. In February 1668, Edward Stennett, patriarch of the prominent Stennett family, wrote from Abingdon, then in Berkshire, to the fledgling Sabbatarian church in Newport, Rhode Island, of the difficulties Sabbatarians in England were experiencing. “We have passed through great opposition, for this truth’s sake”, he wrote, adding “Many once eminent churches have been shattered in pieces”.2 A month later the church in Bell Lane, London, also wrote to Newport in similar vein.

  • THOMAS DOVE - from St Mary’S Parish News June 2012 by John Read
    THOMAS DOVE - from St Mary’s Parish News June 2012 by John Read Just inside the west door on the left as you walk towards the coffee area, there is a wooden board giving a list of all the incumbents of St Mary’s Saffron Walden going back to the 12th century. The board notes that two of the vicars became suffragan bishops, but omits to include a similar note about a much more distinguished cleric, Thomas Dove, vicar from 1580 to 1607, who became Bishop of Peterborough. The following account is based on an article in the Dictionary of National Biography, and Dawes and Loder’s History of Framlingham. Dove was born in London in 1555, and studied at Pembroke Hall (later Pembroke College), Cambridge from 1571, before becoming vicar of St Mary’s in 1580, probably as a result of the close association of the entire Howard family, including the Earls of Suffolk (of Audley End) with Pembroke Hall. The Howards were also Lords of the Manor of Framlingham in Suffolk, and Dove was presented by the Howards to the Rectory of Framlingham in 1584. He then was appointed Dean of Norwich in 1589 and Bishop of Peterborough in 1601. He remained Bishop of Peterborough as well as Rector of Framlingham until his death in 1630. He was also a chaplain to Queen Elizabeth, who, according to the Dictionary of National Biography article, “admired his excellence in preaching so much that she said this Dove was a dove with silver wings, who must have been inspired by the grace of Him who once assumed the form of a dove”.

  • Picture Gallery the Benefice Is Unusual in Having a Picture of Most of the Rectors from 1613 to Date
    Picture Gallery The benefice is unusual in having a picture of most of the Rectors from 1613 to date. This is, of course in part because from 1613 until 1851 the Bishops of Peterborough were the Rectors, and thus sufficiently distinguished to have their portraits painted. Here is a selection of some the portraits; the rest may be seen in the vestry at Castor, having recently been refurbished in memory of John Gillam. Copies of portraits of the two of Bishop-Rectors, Thomas Dove and John Towers, are in Chapter 26. Thomas White, Rector from 1685 until 1691, when out of loyalty to King James II, he resigned rather than take the oath of allegiance to William of Orange. Frederick Dee, Rector from William Lloyd, Rector from 1634 to 1639. 1679 to 1685. John Parsons, Rector from 1813 to 1819. Note Peterborough Cathedral in the background. John Hinchcliffe, Rector from Richard Terrick, Rector from 1769 to 1794. 1757 to 1754. George Andrews, who was originally the Curate, was the first Rector since 1613 not to be the Bishop of Peterborough simultaneously. He was Rector from 1851 to Herbert Marsh, Rector from 1819 to George Davys, the last Bishop-Rector, 1864 and was responsible for the 1839. Note that he is sitting in the same Rector from 1839 to 1851. He was also foundation of Castor School and building chair as John Parsons. at one stage tutor to Queen Victoria. the School Hall still used today by the 354 Some People and Places Early Days of one Village Family While many people were employed in farming or ancillary trades, others were employed in service, in the police force, and as landlords of public houses and so on.
