THOMAS’S CHURCH, BEDFORD CENTENARY OCTOBER 12th, 1940 A SHORT HISTORY OF THE CHURCH AND PARISH “Lord, I have loved the habitation of Thy house : and the place where Thine honour dwelleth,” – Psalm xxvi, 8 COMPILED BY The Rev. G. WILLETT, M.A. VICAR OF BEDFORD THE LORD BISHOP OF MANCHESTER THE RIGHT REV, GUY WARMAN, D.D. Foreword N November, 1922, the late Vicar wrote in the Parish Sheet of his intention, if possible, of writing a short history of Bedford Parish. Mr. Lawton was then in his 67th year, and this fact, I added to the charge of a large parish, prevented him from carrying out his wishes. The duty has fallen on his successor, the present Vicar, who has done his best at what has been a difficult but very happy task. The old Parish Sheets, written by the late Vicar, and dating back to 1894, have been a mine of information, and in addition, I have been fortunate in having easy access to the old Deeds of the Parish, the old Registers, old Minute Books, and other similar sources. I should like to express my thanks to the following: - To the Lord Bishop of Manchester for his encouraging message in this book. To Mr. Arthur Mee for permission to include his description of Bedford Church from his book entitled “Lancashire,” and to the Publishers, Messrs.

  • OUR NEWEST CLERGY TEAM MEMBER—WELCOME! "He Told Them: the Harvest Is Plentiful, but the Workers Are Few
    October 2020 THE MAGAZINE OF THE HORWICH & RIVINGTON TEAM CHURCHES OUR NEWEST CLERGY TEAM MEMBER—WELCOME! "He told them: The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Luke 10:2 “My journey to ordination has been an unusual one and unique in many different ways. This week started with a ‘virtual’ retreat led by Reverend Canon Phil Stone, director of the Scargill Movement and leader at Scargill House in North Yorkshire. As eager ordinands we 'zoomed' in and out of sessions sharing our lives and the experiences that had led us to this stage of our journey with God and taking time to prepare for the ministry ahead. We were encouraged to live generously recognising God’s amazing abundance and His rich and lavish love for us. John 7:38, NIV: "Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, ‘rivers of living water will flow from within them.'" A call to consider the pure and life-giving nature of God. We were likewise heartened by God’s view of us as His beloved – adored, cherished and blessed. At a time when so many elements of our lives are altered and unsettled we may ask ourselves, ‘How can we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land?’ Be inspired that we can continue to sing of His abundance and His blessing as constant and firm when the world around us feels unpredictable and fragile. On Wednesday 23rd September, I was ordained by the Rt Rev’d Mark Ashcroft, the Bishop of Bolton, at Bolton Parish Church.

  • The Anglican Assertion in Lancashire: the Role of the Commissioners' Churches in Three Lancashire Townships, 1818-1856 by Will
    The Anglican Assertion in Lancashire: The Role of The Commissioners’ Churches in Three Lancashire Townships, 1818-1856 by William Walker A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire. July 2018 i STUDENT DECLARATION FORM Concurrent registration for two or more academic awards I declare that while registered as a candidate for the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another award of the University or other academic or professional institution. ________________________________________________________________ Material submitted for another award I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. _________________________________________________________________ Signature of Candidate _______________________________________ Type of Award Doctor of Philosophy School Humanities and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT The years between 1818 and 1856 encompass the life of the Church Building Commission, one agency of a determined assertion by the Anglican Church. Under the Commissioners’ aegis 82 of the 612 new places of worship were planted in Lancashire. The intention is to analyse the rationale and impact of a remarkable church building project and its role in the Anglican initiative in the county. The thesis is the first detailed local study of the churches’ distinctive role, beyond the assessment of their artistic worth. M.H. Port in Six Hundred New Churches (2006) produced the definitive work on the architecture and central administration of “Waterloo Churches”.1 He had less to say on their social and religious importance. In order to explore the rationale, impact and role of the churches, I adopted a case study approach selecting three churches in south central Lancashire, one from each deanery of Manchester Diocese which was created out of Chester Diocese in 1847.

  • George Abbot 1562-1633 Archbishop of Canterbury
    English book owners in the seventeenth century: a work in progress listing How much do we really know about patterns and impacts of book ownership in Britain in the seventeenth century? How well equipped are we to answer questions such as the following?: • What was a typical private library, in terms of size and content, in the seventeenth century? • How does the answer to that question vary according to occupation, social status, etc? • How does the answer vary over time? – how different are ownership patterns in the middle of the century from those of the beginning, and how different are they again at the end? Having sound answers to these questions will contribute significantly to our understanding of print culture and the history of the book more widely during this period. Our current state of knowledge is both imperfect, and fragmented. There is no directory or comprehensive reference source on seventeenth-century British book owners, although there are numerous studies of individual collectors. There are well-known names who are regularly cited in this context – Cotton, Dering, Pepys – and accepted wisdom as to collections which were particularly interesting or outstanding, but there is much in this area that deserves to be challenged. Private Libraries in Renaissance England and Books in Cambridge Inventories have developed a more comprehensive approach to a particular (academic) kind of owner, but they are largely focused on the sixteenth century. Sears Jayne, Library Catalogues of the English Renaissance, extends coverage to 1640, based on book lists found in a variety of manuscript sources. The Cambridge History of Libraries in Britain and Ireland (2006) contains much relevant information in this field, summarising existing scholarship, and references to this have been included in individual entries below where appropriate.
