Book excerpt: Excerpt from Devon Notes and Queries, Vol. 4: A Quarterly Journal Devoted to the Local History, Biography and Antiquities of the County of Devon; From January 1906 to October 1907 I. Aveton giffard church. - This church is pic turesquely situated on the high ground to the north-east of the Village of Aveton Giffard. It is a most interesting strue ture, and well deserves the attention of ecclesiologists from the fact of its being one of the few Early English churches remaining in Devonshire. The first view of the interior gives the impression that it is a much restored building, but a careful examination will show that the greater part of the original work remains, and that the restoration has been a careful one. The church dates mainly from the Early English period. The nave, chancel, transepts, porch, tower, and belfry stair-turret are all of this period, the earlier portions dating from'about a.d. 1260. The two windows in the north wall of the nave and all the Early English arches are probably also of this date. The chancel aisles are later - probably of the Decorated period. The south chancel aisle certainly existed in March, 1284-85, as will be shown further on. A striking feature in this building is that all the early work is in freestone, while the later work is in granite. This Observa tion would seem to apply even to a restoration at some very early period, when apparently the decayed portions of free stone were replaced by granite, as may be seen in the shafts of the north tower arch and of the inner arch of the porch, as well as in other parts of the building. In fact, this church abounds in interesting architectural details, some of which are shown in the accompanying, plates, which are reproduc tions of the admirable photographs taken by Mr. John Sparke Amery, to whom I am greatly indebted for per, mitting their use as illustrations to these notes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fifty years between 1530 and 1580, England moved from being one of the most lavishly Catholic countries in Europe to being a Protestant nation, a land of whitewashed churches and antipapal preaching. What was the impact of this religious change in the countryside? And how did country people feel about the revolutionary upheavals that transformed their mental and material worlds under Henry VIII and his three children? In this book a reformation historian takes us inside the mind and heart of Morebath, a remote and tiny sheep farming village on the southern edge of Exmoor. The bulk of Morebath’s conventional archives have long since vanished. But from 1520 to 1574, through nearly all the drama of the English Reformation, Morebath’s only priest, Sir Christopher Trychay, kept the parish accounts on behalf of the churchwardens. Opinionated, eccentric, and talkative, Sir Christopher filled these vivid scripts for parish meetings with the names and doings of his parishioners. Through his eyes we catch a rare glimpse of the life and pre-Reformation piety of a sixteenth-century English village. The book also offers a unique window into a rural world in crisis as the Reformation progressed. Sir Christopher Trychay’s accounts provide direct evidence of the motives which drove the hitherto law-abiding West-Country communities to participate in the doomed Prayer-Book Rebellion of 1549 culminating in the siege of Exeter that ended in bloody defeat and a wave of executions. Its church bells confiscated and silenced, Morebath shared in the punishment imposed on all the towns and villages of Devon and Cornwall. Sir Christopher documents the changes in the community, reluctantly Protestant and increasingly preoccupied with the secular demands of the Elizabethan state, the equipping of armies, and the payment of taxes. Morebath’s priest, garrulous to the end of his days, describes a rural world irrevocably altered and enables us to hear the voices of his villagers after four hundred years of silence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Devon Notes Queries, Vol. 4: A Quarterly Journal Devoted to the Local History, Biography and Antiquities of the County of Devon; From January 1906 to October 1907 The tracery of all the windows except two is geometrical. Much Of this tracery is new work, but the original pattern has been adhered to. The two exceptions are the windows in the north wall of the nave. These are single lights, placed high up with deep splays, and are probably Of the same date as the Early English portions of the church. A string course runs along the north wall of the nave, half-way up, and returns under the west window, but is continued only for a few feet in the south wall. The central tower contains eight bells, and is supported on four arches Opening into the nave, the chance], and the two transepts respectively. The belfry is approached by a spiral stair in a circular turret outside the south-west angle of the tower, with a conical roof, which roof, however, is modern. Formerly the entrance to this staircase was in the west wall Of the south transept. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
