  • Biography of Rev. Stephen Bachiler

    Biography of Rev. Stephen Bachiler

    Page updated: April 27, 2010 Return to Rev. Stephen Bachiler Table of Contents Stephen Bachiler An Unforgiven Puritan By Victor C. Sanborn Concord, NH New Hampshire Historical Society -- 1917 The story which I have to tell concerns the biography of one who lived through the years of the most wonderful century of English history, that period from 1560 to 1660. Those years marked the youth and splendor of British achievement in the realm of spiritual awakening, of literary and intellectual development, and of commercial activity, colonization, and world building. In the hundred years I have mentioned Puritanism made its first successful stand against the English church, which still clung to Romish superstition. They saw, those golden years, the imperishable dramas of Shakespeare unfolded to the world, the lofty verse of Milton, the graceful muse of Jonson, and the brilliant philosophy of Bacon. For them the poetical soul, the chivalrous life and death of Sir Philip Sidney, were current fact, not history and tradition. In that short century lived and died the great freebooters of the virgin seas, Raleigh and Drake, Frobisher and Hawkins. Less afraid of new worlds than of old creeds, the Pilgrims and the Puritans in that century left their homes in the " haunt of ancient peace," and sought fresh soil wherein to plant the colony which was to grow into our present vast spreading republic. The feeble, pedantic, and pleasure loving Stuarts saw in that century the sceptre snatched from their hands, when Hampden, Cromwell, and Harry Vane turned England from a kingdom into a commonwealth. In the same period Holland became a Protestant republic in spite of the bloody persecutions of Philip.

Vice Provost for Graduate and Professional Education ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Every Massachusetts schoolchild walks Boston’s Freedom Trail and learns the story of the Hancock house. Its demolition served as a rallying cry for early preservationists and students of historic preservation study its importance. Having been both a Massachusetts schoolchild and student of historic preservation, this project has inspired and challenged me for the past nine months. To begin, I must thank those who came before me who studied the objects and legacy of the Hancock house. I am greatly indebted to the research efforts of Henry Ayling Phillips (1852- 1926) and Harriette Merrifield Forbes (1856-1951). Their research notes, at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts served as the launching point for this project. This thesis would not have been possible without the assistance and guidance of my thesis adviser, Brock Jobe.

    Bachiler, Stephen, Eleanor Schoen's Presentation

    CHARGES AGAINST STEPHEN BACHILER 1. A charge against Mr. Bachiler of giving a sermon tending seditious to the derogation of her majesty, Queen Elizabeth’s government. Mrs. Eleanor, Mrs. Eleanor Stephen Bachiler here. I come here today to join your discussion of my legacy - not to correct your report or change your mind but to simply provide input that will allow these good people to make an informed choice about my legacy. I seek not your approval, nor have I ever sought man’s approval. Mine is a heavenly work and God has long ago accepted my work. First, try and get a perspective of my times where the church and the government, at all levels, were one. The Throne, which at one time was a God guided institution, in my time, was a very secular institution, filled with self serving men, not at all under God’s direction. This set up a contest early in my life that caused me to be branded a malcontent and opposed to the Queen. Now as to your charge about the sermon. Answer Remember any discussion of the Queen was considered seditious. For 18 years I pastured as Vicar of the church at Wherwell in Hampton peaceably - and when I was ejected by the rulers a number of my parishioners went with me under Puritan auspices. 2. A case in star chamber in which Mr. Bachiler, his son Stephen, and John Bate (son of the vicar at Wherwell) were accused by George Wighly, Minister, of writing a libelous poem ridiculing him.

    Annual Report of Giving

    2008-2009 ANNUAL REPORT OF GIVING The Governor’s Academy 1 Elm Street, Byfi eld, MA 01922 annual report e have all come into, but not yet through an epic storm. The dust will take some time to settle as Wwe adjust to the new reality of a very different economy. No family and no institution have been unscathed in this downturn, and The Governor’s Academy family is certainly no exception. The central responsibility of our Board of Trustees is to position The Academy in such a way that its financial stability can be assured well into the future. This encompasses careful budgeting, disciplined cost control, good plant maintenance, and fund raising success. This year’s (35th consecutive) balanced budget is testament to the fact that in good times and bad, sound management practices pay off. The Board of Trustees and administration have done other things in recent years to position the school for its future. Academic program innovation has always been part of the faculty’s forward planning. Our unique location near the Great Atlantic Salt Marsh provides the science program with an opportunity to create a signature course of study. An increasing exposure to national and international issues has at its root our Headmaster’s desire to prepare our students to act responsibly on a larger global stage. Further, in an effort to get our message out in a larger marketing context, the name change initiative together with significant new outreach in the admissions and alumni offices have resulted in historically strong enrollment numbers in spite of the downturn in the economy.
