Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Minories London I am aware that I may be charged with overburdening the text with quotations; but I think that in this way the idiosyncrasies of individuals and the characteristics of different ages are best portrayed. The most graphic editorial word painting is not so true a guide as contemporary writings and memoranda; even the spelling and quaint expressions have a distinct illustrative value. The original mss., in cases where I have had access to them, are transcribed Without any alteration, with the exception of those in Latin and Norman French, of which a translation is invariably given. Then further, many of the documents from which I quote (especially the Parish Records) are not likely to come to the notice even of those engaged in antiquarian research. They may, indeed, be useful only to a few; nevertheless, for the sake of those few, I have thought them as a rule worthy of being reproduced in ewtenso. Moreover, I hope there may be others who, not caring to wade through these extracts, may yet find some interest in the perusal of the general statements drawn from them. The many vicissitudes through which the precinct of the Minories has passed, during the 600 years over which this history extends, lends to it an interest peculiarly its own. The abundance of existing information bearing upon it renders it possible to trace, with considerable fulness, the various phases which each successive period presents. Although the events recorded, for the most part, took place within a very limited area, yet they may not be without some little value in illustrating the forces and in uences which, for centuries, have been at work in making the English people what they are. So numerous are the names of those, famous in their own days, who have been more or less intimately connected with the Minories, or who have been buried within the Precinct, that, with regard to many of them, it has been impossible to do more than sketch brie y the main incidents of their careers. In determining the space to be allotted to each biographical notice, I have mainly acted on the principle of dealing most brie y with those who are known to history, and the accounts of whose lives are most easily accessible to the general reader.

Download or read book Clandestine Marriage in England 1500 1850 written by R. B. Outhwaite and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While marriages were supposed to be celebrated publicly by priests, in churches where the parties were known, many couples had reasons - among them parental disapproval, religious nonconformity, property considerations and previous entanglements - to marry in other ways. Clandestine marriage had represented a problem to the church and state, and to the rights of property, since the middle ages, eluding a variety of attempts to control it. By the eighteenth century it had become a scandal, with Fleet parsons marrying thousands of couples a year. In 1753 Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act nullified such irregular marriages, only to drive couples to seek other forms of privacy down to, and beyond, the introduction of civil marriage in 1836. In this intriguing book Brian Outhwaite explores the nature and scale of clandestine marriage. He describes why it attracted so many customers and why it was so hard to suppress.

Download or read book The Mendicant Houses of Medieval London 1221 1539 written by Jens Röhrkasten and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2004 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mendicant Orders had a profound impact on urban society, life and culture from the thirteenth century onwards. Being engaged in extensive and ambitious pastoral activities they depended on outside support for their material existence. Their influence extended into ecclesiastical as well as secular affairs, leading to the creation of a network of connections to different social groups and on occasion even an involvement in politics. The role of the mendicants in a medieval capital has not yet been systematically studied. A first attempt to study a city of this scale is here made for London.
