    Chapter 19 Beyond the Billingas: From Lay Wealth to Monastic Wealth on the Lincolnshire Fen-Edge John Blair Barbara Yorke’s manifold contributions to Anglo-Saxon history—in her books, articles, lectures and ubiquitous conference appearances—have never lacked chronological or thematic breadth. A notable strength of her work is an em- phasis on the largely undocumented 6th century as a historical period in its own right, determinative of critical changes in the 7th. She has also done more than most to illuminate the immediately pre-Christian and secular contexts of early monastic life. I hope she will like this case-study in continuity, which illustrates how the spectacular but ultimately transient religious culture of the later 7th to 9th centuries rested on older socio-economic and territorial foundations. It also considers a part of England (once tackled by Barbara herself in a magisterial survey article)1 which even for the age of Bede is largely undocu- mented, and which therefore demands creative use of the fast-growing archae- ological record. To explore what was going on during c.600–850 in the dynamic and prosperous ‘eastern zone’,2 comprising the east midlands, Norfolk, Lin- colnshire and south-east Yorkshire, encounters special challenges that are not always fully acknowledged. On the one hand, that region provides most of our physical evidence for buildings, settlements, coins, pottery and other artifacts. On the other hand, it is almost completely deficient in written sources of a kind that might illuminate conditions at a local level. That makes the tempta- tion to extrapolate from Kentish and West Saxon laws, or the charter archives of major churches in other parts of England, hard to resist.

  • The Lincolnshire Gentry and the Wars of the Roses
    The Lincolnshire Gentry and the Wars of the Roses Jonathan S. Mackman D.Phil. Thesis University of York Department of History August 1999 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the impact of the Wars of the Roses upon the people, government and landed structure of a hitherto under-studied shire. It is intended as a bridge between the numerous post-McFarlanite county studies of recent years and the specific issue of the Wars, a conflict generally approached from a central perspective. It begins by examining Lincolnshire's landed society during the later Lancastrian period, stressing the county's political isolation, the sheer size and collective wealth of its population, but also the lack of any dominant political force. It examines the nature of local government, particularly the changing social profile of local officers, and also the issue of local violence. In particular, it highlights the effects of faction and manipulation of justice in an otherwise relatively law-abiding county, and the influence of the shires upon the descent into warfare. The thesis then addresses Lincolnshire's experience of the Wars themselves, particularly stressing the limited participation of the resident population. The Lincolnshire Rebellion of 1470 is described in detail, this shadowy episode being carefully reconstructed in order to gain a fuller understanding of its importance. This is then tied in with a discussion of how the Wars had only a limited effect on Lincolnshire's social and landed structures, yet radically altered its relationship with the Crown. It highlights the tension between the established order and the Yorkist administrative elite, and the way this became embodied in a local power-struggle which, it is argued, led to the Rebellion and ultimately contributed to Edward IV's own deposition.

  • How to Search for Parish Registers
    Searching the Website for Parish Registers How to find a baptism, marriage or burial register on the Lincs to the Past website. In the examples below we shall be using the parish of Scotton. To find Parish Registers it is best to use the Advanced Search facility. Click on the Advanced Search tab on the main header bar. You will then see the Advanced Search facility. In the “With the exact phrase” box, enter the name of the parish, “par” and “1” (Scotton par 1, in our example - it is not case sensitive). A full list of parish names is appended to this Guide. Ensure that ‘Records’ results format has been selected (i.e. do not click on ‘Images’) and click on Search. Alternatively, if you know the specific parish register you need, you can enter that in the “With exact phrase”. For example, for SCOTTON PAR/1/2 enter Scotton Par 1 2 (do not use hyphens or slashes, instead insert spaces between the numbers) Be aware that some place names such as Bourne appear in a number of other parish names. In these instances, you will also get results for other places with Bourne in their name such as Thurlby by Bourne or Morton by Bourne. To get around this problem you can type the words you wish to exclude in the “Without the Words” box (e.g. Thurlby Morton). Selecting registers and displaying images from search results The hitlist will give details of all the parish registers found, including type of register, covering dates, and reference. Scroll down the search results to find the record in which you are interested.

  • John Ramsdell, John Ravensdale, Isaac Johnson, and Nathaniel Turner Ian Watson
    John Ramsdell, John Ravensdale, Isaac Johnson, and Nathaniel Turner Ian Watson This article presents evidence to show that John Ramsdell, who was in Lynn, Massachusetts, from about 1631 to his death in 1688, was the same man as John “Ravensdale,” who was made a freeman of Massachusetts Bay on 6 May 1635, and had been named in the 1627 will of Isaac Johnson as a servant. Johnson also mentioned “cosen Nathanaell Turner” in the will. Turner can be identified as Captain Nathaniel Turner of Lynn and later of New Haven, Connecticut, whose servant about 1632 was John Ramsdell. John Ramsdell of Lynn John1 Ramsdell lived in Lynn from at least 1631 until his death on 27 August 1688, and was the father of at least eight children.[1] Two statements of his age exist: one in a court deposition,[2] the other his age at death. Neither inspires great trust, but both happen to agree on a birthdate in late 1601 or early 1602. The given name of his wife, Priscilla, is known only from the record of her death in Lynn on 23 January 1675/6.[3] She is also mentioned, but not named, in a 12 April 1675 deed of gift where John transferred his farm and land in Lynn to his son Aquila.[4] Nowhere is her age or her maiden surname given. John Ramsdell was first definitely recorded as a member of a quarterly court jury in 1638,[5] but he had been in Lynn for several years already. We know this because in 1673 he testified that he had been familiar with the Lynn-Marblehead road for forty-two years, thus since 1631.[6] Also, in 1657 he deposed that “twenty-five years ago [i.e., in 1632], when he was a servant of Captain Torner, his master and other inhabitants of Lynn, before it was a town, fenced in Nahant” and “That by reason of these householders fencing, they had put their cattle there without molestation all these years.”[7] Nahant is 1 Vital Records of Lynn, Massachusetts to the End of the Year 1849, 2 vols.
