TO THE MEMORY OF THE RT. REV MONSIGNOR P. E. HALLETT THIS WORK IS RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED

PREFACE

The editor regrets to record the death of Mr. W. Sharp, whosehelpintranscribingthe first volume is there acknowledged, and which occurred while it was being prepared for the press.

Since completing both volumes we have consulted , through the courtesy of the Rev. Canon Claude Jenkins, librarian, and Dr. Irene Churchill, assistant librarian of Lambeth , a visitation of the Canterbury diocese made by Cardinal Pole through his Vicar-General in spirituals, David Pole, LL.D., in 1556. It is only once referred to in Harpsfield (p 205) The acta are preserved at Lambeth, and Cardinal Pole's Register (f 32 seq) also contains some account of it.

According to the register, the visitation of the Cathedral began on 18 May and was prorogued till 27 October. That of the Canterbury and Westbere deaneries was held in the church of St. Alphege, Canterbury , on 19 May; that of Bridge and Elham in the church of Bishopsbourne on 20 May; that of Dover in St. Mary's, Dover, on 21 May ; of Sandwich in St. Peter's church, Sandwich, on 22 May; and of Sittingbourneand Ospringe in the church ofSittingbourneon Thursday, 28 May.

The deaneries of Sutton, Charing and Lympne are for some reason not mentioned either in the acta or in the register. The reference in Harpsfield, however, indicates that a visitation for Sutton deanery was held ; and, doubtless, the same may be inferred concerning the remainingtwo.

A detailed comparison between the injunctions of Pole in 1556 and of Harpsfield in 1557 would illustrate in a practical way the rate of progress achieved by the second of the missions from Rome to the English people, the third of which was so notably commemorated this year.

Mr. Donald Attwater has lately drawn our attention to a Cornish translation of some homilies of Archdeacon John Harpsfield , the English originals of which are printed in an appendix to Bishop Bonner's Profitable and Necessary Doctrine (1555). The Cornish translator was John Tregeere. The MS. , whichiscontemporaryand comes from the papers ofthe Puleston family of Flintshire, was acquired for the British Museum in 1947. It is catalogued as Additional MSS. 46397 and has been translated by Mr. R. Morton Nance, who has discovered in it some new Cornish words.

NOTE ON BENENDEN AND RECUSANCY

.

A list of Catholics resident in the archdiocese of Canterbury in 1676 , drawn up in answer to Archbishop Sheldon's enquiries, shews more recusants to have been living at Benenden at that time than in any other parish The original returns are in the Library of the Dean and Chapter at Canterbury and were transcribed by Mr. Stuart Davis The figures are as follows

(St. George's) 7

Paul's) 18

The figuresfor Canterbury are comparatively large, but it would be a chronological error to ascribe them to the influence of the Hales family at Hales Place, for Sir Edward, the third baronet, born in 1645 , was notconvertedto Catholicism till 1685. At Hackington, theparish in which the above mansion was situated, there was only one Catholic in 1676. We may, perhaps, partly account for them on the ground that Canterbury, like Dover was an urban centre

The incidence of Catholics in the Faversham and Sittingbourne area may be ascribed to the Hawkins family of Boughton-under-Blean and to the Ropers, Lords Teynham of Lynsted Lodge respectively . The youngerbranchofthe family of Guldeford, seated at Hempsted in the parish of Benenden, kept the Catholic faith. Their ancestor was George, second son of Sir Richard Guldeford, K.G. and Comptroller of the Household to King Henry VII, who died at Jerusalem in 1508. His son, Sir John Guldeford, was Sheriffof Kent in the sixth year of Edward VI Richard, born to him by his second wife , Mary Fitzwilliam, died in exile for his religion at Rouen on 22 May 1586. A widow, Benet (formerly married to Horne of Appledore ), was also a Catholicand survivedhim She diedat Brussels, aged 37 , in July 1597 . The eldest son of Sir John by his first wife, Barbara West, was Sir Thomas Guldeford, Kt , whose son by Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Shelley, of Michelgrove , Sussex, was Sir Henry Guldeford He married the Lady Elizabeth Somerset, daughter of Edward, Earl of Worcester Their son, Edward Guldefordof Hempsted , Esq , married Catherine, daughter of Thomas, third son of the first Lord Petre A daughter, Elizabeth, widow of John Brooke of Madeley, co . Salop, became a Benedictinenun and died at Pontoise in 1714, aged 57. Her brother , Robert Guldeford, the only son of his parents, was created a baronetby James II in 1685. He married Clare, daughterandcoheir of Anthony Thomson, Esq., of Northorp in Lincolnshire, but died in 1718 withoutissue Sir Robert Guldeford'sstaunchCatholicism earned for him the favour of James II The estate of Hempstedwassold underanActof Parliamentin thereignof Queen Anne to pay his debts. The best known member of the elder branch of the Guldeford family, seated at Halden in the parish of Rolvenden , was the Lady Jane Grey For the pedigree see art. The Family ofGuldeford, by the Rev. R. C. Jenkins, in A.C., xiv, 1-17

With the removal of Sir Robert Guldeford, Bt , from Hempsted, the numberof Catholics declined and finallydied out altogether Thus in answer to the articles of enquiry promulgated on 1 May 1758 by Archbishop Secker, the then incumbent wrote: " About 50 years ago the seat above mentioned [Hempsted ] belonged to a Roman Catholick family There were at that time several Papists in this parish, which are now (God be praised) reduced to one only, who is a large farmer His place of worship used to be at Scotney, in ye

parish of Lamberhurst, in the County of Sussex, a house belonging to Dorril [Darrell], Esquire But I am informed that there has been no priest there for a considerable time, and that our farmer, whose name is John Jenks, has been at no place of worship lately. His sister in law , on a visit to him from London, died here of small pox about 9 years ago, and immediatelyupon her death one Mr. Bennet , a Popish priest, came hither from Battle in Sussex on that occasion, and stayed here one night And I can't learn that he ever was here afterwards This is all that I know of Papists with regard to my parish. " This answer was extracted from the originals in Lambeth Palace Library bythe Rev.FrancisHaslewood in his ParishofBenenden, Kent (privately printed at Ipswich, 1889), p 228 .

Thomas Wells the elder of Benenden, the same author notes (p. 219), was presented by the churchwardens " for keeping of beades and other bookes of Papistry " in 1587 .

To prouide a canapie of silke with fringies before Lente

to 30 October 1596. They illustrate the religious changes ofthe time The children of Richard Beesley, rector, and of his curate, Robert Stockton , both having married, ' are entered in the register of baptisms There is the note , partlyillegible, relating to the end of 1554, or beginningof 1555,that" Master parsone begone to have allmaner[trib]ulacyonswthys wffe"-whichindicates , perhaps, that some action had been taken against Stockton early in thereign of Queen Mary From June 1556 the names of godparents as well as the nameof the father of the child are given, in compliance with Cardinal Pole's injunctionof 1555. Two of these entries relate to children of John Rumney, mentioned in the list of parishioners His son, Robert, was christened on 4th July 1556, his daughter, Agnes, whose godfather was Thomas Henden, on 13th September 1558[?] Thomas Henden succeeded as rector in May 1557 , when Beesley was deprived as a married priest Several names mentioned in the list of parishioners occur in the register, viz Drayner, Mayney, Rumney, Rede, Osborne, Batherst, and Turner.

Of special interest are three notices which seem to corroborate the suspicions entertained against Ffaunte's wife, the wife of Batherst , George Taylor, and Thomas Rede and his wife , viz.:

i The child ofWilliam Fant was not baptized until 7 April 1560 , " which childe was borne in troublous days & therefore not christined tyll it was a yere old " This looks as if the child's baptism had been deliberately deferred to avoid the Marian (Catholic) minister.

ii At a baptism of a child on 5 February 1559, shortly after Queen Mary was dead , we find Margaret Batterst, the godmother, " vituperante sputi ceremoniam , " thus shewing once again and openly her aversion to the ceremonies of the Church

iii On 8 February, three days later, a Joan Taylor died without the sacraments or sign ofthe cross over the body or coffin-"sine sacramentorum et crucis signo super corpus vel sarcophagum quo deportabatur inter duodecimamet primam horam nulla satisfactionefacta . " It would appear that she was buried by the priest, but he was not allowed to carry out the full ceremonies.

iv When one Henry Rede died on 14 February following, "pater noluiteum in ecclesiam introduci " This refusal to allow the body of his son to lie. in the church was clearly a protest against Catholic rites

Richard Beseley, M.A., who was originally admitted to the rectory of Staplehurst on 19 November 1537 (Cranmer , 356b, 357a), was re-admitted under Elizabeth

In 1229 the churches of Teynham, Lynsted, Doddington and Iwade were given by Archbishop Stephen Langton to his brother, Simon , who was Archdeacon of Canterbury. The orchard opposite to Teynham Court was the Archdeacon's glebe land and was sold in the nineteenth century Some time before 1291 the deaneries, of which Teynham was then one, were rearranged , and the parishes of Lynsted, Stone, Doddington and Teynham were placed under Öspringe The ceremony of the Archdeacon'sinduction was, beforethe Reformation, bya mandatedirected to the vicars of Teynham, Lympne, etc. His induction was to one of the churches belonging to the archdeaconry , since he then held no stall in Canterbury cathedral, according to Hasted, iv, 774. See Teynham Manor and Hundred, by Eliz Selby(Ashford, 1935), p 13.

* Deducedfrom its proximity to Selling, and the names Hawkins and Tenaker among the parishioners Boughton-under-Blean is mentioned by Chaucer in the Chanones Yemannes Prologue (1. 16022-6 of Canterbury Tales): " Whan that tolde was the lif of Seinte Cecile

Er we had ridden fully five mile

At Boughton under blee us gan atake

A man , that clothed was in clothes blake , And undenethe he wered a white surplis'

More interesting, however, from the Catholic point of view , was the adherence of the Hawkins family, seated at Nash Court in the same parish, to Catholicism despite penal disabilities The Pettits of 'Colkyns' werealso Catholics , like their namesakes of Chilham. Foley (iii, 491-3 ; iv, 700) prints accounts of the Hawkins familyand a pedigree Bishop Challoner in his visitations stayed at NashCourt When the chapel at NashCourt was closed down in the last century the inlaid predella of the altar was presented to the Catholicchurch at Canterbury, according to Canon Burton in his Life and Times of Bishop Challoner. It cannot now be traced On the chapel erected in the parish church in 1616 for the burial of members oftheHawkins family see art. The Hawkins Monuments byEpiphanius Evesham at Boughtonunder-Blean , by K. H. Jones (A.C., xlv, 205-8; xxii, 189-90) See also xxii, 189-90

The Registers of Boughton-under-Blean were printed for the ParishRegister Society in 1903 by the Rev. John Adolphus Boodle They contain several entries relating to the Porredge family, though not the name ofthechurchwarden above. A Raynold Smith, possibly the parishioner of 1557 or his father, was buried 5 Mar. 1558. The baptisms of several children of John Tenaker occur, as also of Stephen Norman and Thomas Hawkins There are 29 entries relating to the Hawkins family. Robert Boughton was exempt from visitation by the Archdeacon . Thompson was adm. vicar on 16 April 1554 and George Bassett by the resignation of Robert Thompson on 10 Nov. 1574 (Ibid , p x)

F. Giraud. Clement Norton, M.A., was admitted to the vicarage on 7 Aug. 1535 (Cranmer , 355b) ThomasTaylor was adm 7 Oct. 1570, on the death of Nicholas Calver (Parker , 400b)

HARPSFIELD'S VISITATION , 1556

INTRODUCTION

Proceedings relating to 1555 and Visitation of 1556 .

The Visitation of 1556 is bound up in a smallfolio volumetogether with those of 1538-41, 1560, and some fragments of acta of 1555 and 1558. It is catalogued Z.3.5 in the Dean and ChapterLibrary, Canterbury. An analysis of some ofthe immediately preceding contents will illustrate the nature of the business transacted by the Archdeacon's court

Webegin witha title-pageand a few fragmentary returns belonging to a visitation made in 1555, not to be confused with those held at Sandwich or Chilham that year boundup in Z.3.6, discussed in PartI, p 8. The title-page has been covered by muchscribblingand ' doodles . ' Between them and the returns of 1556, partly illegible becauseofsome black ink spilled over it, and also bound upside down, is a pagecontaining some very fragmentary notices of certain court proceedings

Thefirst is unidentifiable: the names Thomas ' and'Smythe'can be made out, also the sum of £3..3..6devidently a willcase. There follows a reference to the will of William Barrowe, senior, of Lydd, deceased ; of James Long of Saltwood , whose executors must appear at the next court to be held at Canterbury shortly before Christmas; and of Leonard G .... of New Romney Then comes a presentment of Silvester of Hythe, on a charge of fornication with a person of New Romney, which must be answered before the next court at Ashford Thenanotherprobateentry, in which the form"fiatcopia" (let copy be made) and the name " Ric. Gayle " are distinguished .

After the returns for 1555 follow proceedings of a court held by Robert Collens, Commissary, in St. Mary's, Dover, on 2 March that year. * The churchwardens of St. Peter's, Dover, present that their church is not served . The Summoner , Stace, reports that he has served a writon the executors of Thomas Harding of Dover to appear One of them could not be found.

[f. 94r .] " ACTA habita et facta in ecclesia parochiali Beate / Marie Virginis ville Dovor' Die Lune / secunda Marcii Anno 1555. Coram venerabile viro Magistro Roberto Colens Commissario etc iudicialiter/ sedente etc in presencia mei P. Lylly notarii publici etc."

"

Thirdly, the widow of Thomas Browne , deceased , of Dover, has been notified by the same summoner to bring her husband's will before the court " Mulier preconizata " This entry is crossed out

Fourthly, Hugh Adam, one of the Charlton churchwardens , " intimauit Iudici quod dicta ecclesia siue rectoria est inofficiata, et quod nulla fuit celebracio diuinorum in eadem duobus annis iam vltimo elapsis"

Fifthly, Thomas Clerke of St. James's, Dover, refused to pay the sum of 4s . towardsthe stipend of a curateduring the pastyear, " iuxta assignacionem et decretum iconomorumecclesie, " etc., which he now , however, undertakes to do

Sixthly, William Morrys, sequestrator of the fruits of the vicarage of River, sues Thomas Blacher of St. James's, Dover, for payment of tithes (" causa subtractionis decimarum ") The judge assessed the Summoner Stace's expenses at 4d.: "Actor persolvit."

Seventhly, Henry Wood, Rector of St. Mary's, Dover, " notatur quod vsus est consortio GertrudisWood alias citra tempus redintegrationis sue Comparuitet negat et monitus est ad tondendam barbam suam et ad comparendum in proximo consistorio tonsus ad certificandum de huiusmodi tonsura per testes etc."

Items 8 and 9 concern the wills of Peter Quyntyn and one Jybbes of Dover

Next are recorded proceedings transacted in the church of St. Nicholas, New Romney, on Tuesday, 3 February [1555?]-

(1) The will of John Beacham of Lydd, deceased Katherine, his relict and executrix, cited by Silver (evidently the Summoner for this deanery), appeared before the court. Shewas grantedtillthe next court after Easter" ad acceptand' vel [resignand']. ' She paid by way of fee (" soluit in partem feode ") the sum of 2s Witnesses: Nicholas Pyx and Richard Beacham, both sworn

(2) The will of John Type of Lydd, deceased Thomasine , his relict and executrix, cited by Silver, appeared " et exhibuit,"i.e.shewed the will John Cockerell and John Church swore to the truth of the same , etc.

(4) Henry Ffyssher of Fairfield, deceased and intestate(" defunctus abintestato"). Administration was granted to Edward Rockley and his wife, sisterof the dead man The same Edward Rockley, husbandman of Fairfield, John Kechin, and John Curteys, husbandman , "obligantur" Inventory of goods submitted .

(5) RichardMartyn of Fairfield, deceased . " Margareta eius relicta comparuit et obligantur dicta Margareta Johannes Kechin clericus et Edward Rockley. Exhibuerunt inuentarium . "

(6) JohnBakerofWittersham, deceased . Joan, his widow, appeared and was grantedadministration She and Thomas PyperofWittersham and Gilbert Ffydge of the same are bound likewise

(7) The will of Harneden of Woodchurch , deceased Thomas and William Harnden, executors, summoned by Silver, duly appeared. They have paid 20d "per scripturam." This entry is crossed out

(8) Next comes a suit brought against Thomas Reed of Lydd. The defendantwas ' cried' (' preconizatus ') to appear and answer the charges, having already been summoned by Silver, expenses 4d The prosecutorwas John Cryes, Vicar of New Romney.

(9) Joan Hebbynge of Newchurch reported forabsencefrom church. Johanna Hebbynge de Newchurch notatur quod absentat se ab ecclesia Citata per Siluer suscepit in se ad interessendum in diuinis catholicis Dominica proxima."

(10) " OfficiumDomini " or suit brought against ElizabethHassell of St. Mary's in the Marsh by William Mason, Rector of Hope All Saints, near New Romney . The woman appeared in answer to the summons by Silver " ad respondendum articulis cui Dominusobiecit quod absentat se ab ecclesia, " etc. Again, absence from church.

(11) Margaret Brok ofWoodchurchwith child by Nicholas Byrkyn of the same place Summoned by Silver to court, she confessed and was assigned the usual penance to be performed the Sundayfollowing, and to certify performance of the same " in proximo consistorio " Birkyn did not appear, but the Summoner brought a letter, dated 15 March, of the curate of Woodchurch. Birkyn, who was a servant of William Gilbert of Woodchurch , appeared 18 April

(12) Juliana Bonyard of Woodchurch , accused of fornication and cited by Silver, did not appear, but sent letters , exhibited by Silver, from the curate of Woodchurch

(13) A suit by Walter Ffenne, one of the wardens of Newchurch , against William Walter of St. Mary's in the Marsh; and another against John Bowe of Dymchurch Both dismissed with a fine

(14) Stephen Dreston of New Romney, " citatu sper Siluer ad respondendum certis articulis ad promocionem vicarii ibidem presens fatetur se male dixisse etc." Perhaps heretical sentiments .

(15) Agnes Wallys of New Romney , cited by the same " ad instanciam Ricardi Bunting balliui dicte ville de Nova Rumney."

(16) Agnes Daimson of Fairfield, accused of fornication with John Agas of the same by the Vicar of Stone Confessed to being pregnant by John Agas. The usualpenance to be done and certified

(17) The will of John Pickell of Woodchurch Philippa Ely, executrix, did not appear Penalty for contumacyreserved.

There follow seven more headings or items: Joan Johnson , excommunicatedat the instance of Hollock, is absolved ; the will of John Geoffry of Lydd (again); a cause of defamation brought by William Rolf of Woodchurch against Robert Androw of the same; another concerns the possessionof a prohibited book. The last entrybut two shews a court was held at Ashford on 4 May; the last that anotherwas held in the same church on 30 May 1556.

The main interest of the Visitation of 1556, to which we now come , is that it incorporates under each parish the name of the parish clerk . On their duties see article referredto ante, p 290, n 2 According to these regulationsthey acted as servers at mass and as cantors. They slept in the steeple, helped the sexton in ringing and cleaning, and carried holy water to each house every Sunday. They taught children to read and sing in the choir

Originally, the parish clerk was a cleric . The name aquebaiulus derives from one of his chiefduties, which was to carry the holy water for the priest at the 'Asperges' beforemass. He also read the epistle at mass when there was no subdeacon, and might also be vested in an alb when performing this office Another duty was to prepare the altar for divine service and perform those tasks which devolve on a full-time sacristan.

THE RETURNS FOR 1558

INTRODUCTION

This visitation was the last, perhaps, to be held during Mary's reign by Nicholas Harpsfield The loose cover in which it is bound belongs to an earlier visitation of 1556. At some time both became detached from the general bloc of the visitationsin which the big 1557 volume never seems to have been includedof which, however , they obviously once formed part. This is clear from the identical page measurements (12 by 81 ins ), the damp marks, corresponding in configuration, and the consecutive numbering of the pages in an early though not contemporaryhand The returns for 1558 were discovered about two years ago among various disjecta membra in the Dean and ChapterLibrary by Mr. W. Urry, and have since been bound and put into a better condition for preservation by Mr. Maple, the Library binder (Oct.Nov . , 1948). They are now catalogued Z.3.33. All deaneries are included in the returns, save for Sandwich, which is represented only by the parishof Ash The Archdeacon wasto hold court for all the deaneries in Canterburyon consecutive days, beginning on September the 15th and concludingon the 26th The Poor Priests' Hospital in Stour Street* or the church of All Saints were during the early Tudor period the most frequent venues for these sessions. Also possibly the church of St. Margaret, the living of which was in the Archdeacon's gift, and where a new court-house was commenced early in Elizabeth'sreign by Archdeacon Guest . Asto the format ofthe documenthere printed, the headings were first inscribed in block capitals Names, notes and other details were later filled in during or subsequent to the visitation itself One scribe reveals his nameEdmond Blyth (f. 44r .)and he can often be recognized by his handwriting and brown-coloured ink. The handwriting in general is extremely hard to decipher. The commonest annotationsandabbreviationshave been indicated in our introduction to the previous volume All abbreviations , with the exceptionofChristiannames and the word' Cant, ' we have extended for clearness sake The Christian names are written indifferently in the original in English or Latin, and in our system of abbreviations we have not attempted to differentiate between them. Returns for the Canterbury parishes, though scant, are welcome since those of 1557 are missing The churchwardens ' accounts ofthe

From an archidiaconal visitation of 1502: " They shall exhibit an account on St Jerome's day in the Poor Priests' Hospital " (A.C. , xlvii, 18)

See Visitationof 1556 (ante, p 299)

We are indebted for this information to Mr. B. L. Woodcock, Lecturer of Glasgow University, whose researches embrace the act books ofthe Archdeaconry of Canterbury during these and precedingyears.

two city churches of St. Andrew's and St. Dunstan's have , fortunately, survived for all the years of Mary's reign. Many of the purchases therein recorded of church furniture and other expenditure throw light on archidiaconal injunctions, and on the gradualcatholicization, at least in externals , which was imposed on these churches between 1554 and 1558

Besides these visitation returns we have just considered, there are a few testamentary notices, bound with the visitation of 1556 and others in the volume catalogued Z 3.5. All belong, with the possible exceptionof the first four, to 1558. This is not only apparent from the date which figures in the textAshford, 12 September 1558but also from the pagination Their numbering is ff 34, 35 and 36; and our visitations returnsfollow on at f 39

All the testators mentioned, except the last (Nicholas Peper), are included in Index ofWills preserved in the Prerogative Court ofCanterbury (1920), edited by H. R. Plomer The last page of these fragments relates to the reign of Edward VI, and has no connectionwith what precedes or follows . Being short, we have, however, printed it

§'Adown [?] crossed out

One of the Archdeacon's duties was to test the fitness of ordinands He inspected letters of ordination and testimonial letters of clerics coming from outside the diocese and granted dimissorial letters to clerics proceeding elsewhere A trace of these powers survives in the ordination service , when the Bishop asks the sponsoring priest, there called Archdeacon': "Scis hos esse dignos ? "

An indication of the procedure when the Curate of Warehorn exhibited his letters of ordination at Canterbury is supplied by parallel instancesin the archidiaconal visitation of 1502 (A.C., xlvii, 33): Sir Amphibelus Note, chaplain; he exhibited his orders which were countersignedand handedback to him . " Duringthe same visitation Sir Robert Lee, chaplain at Newington, near Sittingbourne, " was suspended from celebrating divine service within the jurisdictionof the archdeaconry , until he exhibits his letters of orders . " Robert Collens, LL.B., held office under Edward VI and Maryand was in 1554 appointed by the latter a canonof Canterbury cathedral, and stood proxy for Cardinal Pole at his enthronement. He is often mentionedby Foxe. As Archbishop'sCommissaryhe presidedover his ConsistoryCourt Hewas a prebendary of Wingham and, together with Harpsfield and Thornden , Bishop of Dover , one of the most influential prelates in the diocese during Mary's reign.

St. Mary in the Marsh.

This Christian name was usually spelt 'Androw, ' not 'Andrew. '

§ In view of this instance of the distinction between a vicar's and a people's warden, earlier by 13 years, J. C. Cox (Churchwardens' Accounts , 1913, p 5) is not quite correct when he says " The modern custom of one being appointed by the incumbent and the other by the parish had its origin in a canonof 1571." It is commonly said that the practice arose whenvicar and parishioners could not agree.
