THE

AVILTS RECORD SOCIETY.

PRESIDENT :

THE LORD BISHOP OF SALISBURY.

The Wilts Record Society has been formed for the purpose of
printing and circulating unpublished records, charters, or papers
belonging to the County of "Wilts.

Such documents are every year becoming more scarce, many are
ruthlessly destroyed by the hands of those who do not know or ap-
preciate their value, and all are slowly but steadily marred by the
effacing fingers of time. To be of value it is not necessary that they
should be drawn from the class of Registers or Records, indeed it is
impossible to overestimate the light which an unimportant but authentic
document may sometimes be able to throw on points of social life and
manners or on the gradual development of national institutions. Such
priceless finds as the Paston Letters may yet lie hidden in some old
oaken coffer in Wilts. But whatever the nature of the record may be,
it is clear that so long as it is unpublished it may be wholly lost by the
most trivial accident, while as soon as it is circulated, even in the most
limited edition, its existence is practically secured for all time. To
take a very simple instance in illustration. The accounts of the church-
wardens of SS. Edmund and Thomas Sarum were placed in the hands
of Mr. Hatcher when he and Mr. Benson wrote the History of Salisbury
for Hoare's Modern Wilts. Mr. Benson copied a large number of these
accounts ; many of the originals cannot now be found, and but for this
transcript would have been totally lost. Besides those which are thus
lost, many which were at that time comparatively perfect and could be
easily copied, have now so perished in places as to be quite illegible.

These accounts will form the first volume of the Society's publications.
They extend from 1443 onwards, and include also the accounts of the
Stewards of the Fraternity of Jesus Mass in St. Edmund's from 1476
until the dissolution of the College of St. Edmund. The accounts were
all carefully transcribed by the late Mr. Henry James Fowle Swayne
from the original rolls and Journal Books ; a Preface has been

^^'PQ'^Q

IV

contributed by the Lord Bishop of Salisbury and an analytical
introduction by Mr. Swayne's daughter, the late Mrs. C. R. Straton.
The whole forms a volume of 400 pages royal octavo, and it is hardly
possible to realize the richness of the original material which it contains.
It will be ready for distribution to the members in the beginning of
1896.

It is hoped in a subsequent volume to produce among other things the
Fabric Eolls of the Cathedral, which begin early in the fifteenth century,
and are full of interest. They include a summary of money paid and
received, including the oblations of the Fraternities of St. George and
St. John the Evangelist, the Barber- Surgeons, the Carpenters, and
Tanners. It is intended also to draw upon Chapter and Borough
Records, the Charters of Abbeys, Hospitals and Chantries, the Records
of Courts Leet, and especially upon the private muniment rooms of the
County. Any information from Town Clerks or private custodians
concerning original documents which are likely to contribute to local
history, will be gratefully received by the Editor, E. Doran Webb, Esq.,
F.S.A., the Treasurers, Messrs. Pinckney, Bankers, Salisbury, or by the
Secretary, C. R. Straton, Esq., West Lodge, Wilton, Salisbury.

PKEFACE.

I was asked by the -writer of the following admirable Introduction to
prefix a few words of preface to it, as one who honoured and valued her
late father, Henry James Fowle Swayne, both as a friend and a fellow-
student of antiquity. I gladly gave my promise to do so having seen
the text of the records which he had deciphered with such ability and
accuracy, and at once perceiving the gi-eat interest of the material
embraced in them. I remember also that my friend Mr. J. E.
Nightingale, another ornament of Wilton and of the County and district,
in a short obituary notice of Mr. Swayne observes with regret that he
had printed very little of the material which his unwonted energy had
brought together. He concludes with the following reference to the
subject of this book : — " A few years ago Mr. Swayne made careful
" copies of the Churchwardens' Accounts and Journal Books of the
"Parish of S. Edmund, Salisbury. Some portions of these were
" certainly printed, and it is much to be hoped that they will be found
" complete for the Churchwardens' Accounts of S. Edmund's are amongst
" the earliest and most interesting in England. They commence at the
" unusually early date of 1443." {Salisbury Diocesan Gazette, 1892, p.
40). This volume not only fulfils Mr. Nightingale's wish, but adds to
it similar records of S. Thomas' Parish, and a few other ancienfc
documents.

It was a sad surprise to me to learn that the writer of the Introduction
which follows had herself been called away from a life of great usefulness,
and from the midst of a busy and happy home. I had not seen the
Introduction until I heard of her death which took place in April last.

The filial piety which urged her to undertake the task has evidently
been seconded by a more than ordinary share of the intelligence of her
father in the matters of which the Introduction treats. Almost the only
criticism which a student is likely to pass upon it is that it takes a little
too much for granted that its readers will possess the same acquaintance
with ancient manners and customs as the writer. An index or glossary,
if it is possible to add one, ^nll to a great extent supply what beginners
may need.

Is it too much to hope that this volume may be the first of a series of

Records relating to the County and Diocese, which should occupy the

same sort of ground as that covered by the Hampshire and Somersetshire

Record Societies in close proximity to us? We cannot always find

capable editors in great numbers but I believe we possess, even with all

our great losses, a sufficient supply.

INTRODUCTION.

By amy MARY STRATON.

The accounts of these parishes were transcribed and carefully collated
by my father the late Mr. Henry James Fowle Swayne, who had arranged
in his mind all the materials for an introduction to the volume in which
^ they are contained. His unique knowledge of the subject would have
enabled him to perform this task most satisfactorily, but unfortunately
he did not leave behind a single pencil memorandum of what he had
intended to say.

It is with great diffidence therefore that I have thrown together the
following notes of what struck me as remarkable while engaged in pre-
paring an index to the work ; and I shall be amply repaid if they only
serve to direct the attention of those who are more competent to explore
it than I am, to the valuable mine of original material which lies hidden
in these accounts.

For fifty two years preceding 1445 the Accounts of St. Edmund's
had been engrossed in Latin on rolls of parchment, and transcribed in
English into a book of paper called the Journal book of the Church, by
Robert Tevyns, Deacon of the Church, but the earliest account now
existing belongs to the year 1443. From that date until the beginning
of the eighteenth century the accounts are more or less complete, and
they are often rendered more clear by the gloss which a corresponding
Extract from the Journal Book supplies. There is also an Inventory of
Vestments, Books, Plate, Relics, &c., possessed by the Church in 1472.
Besides these the present volume contains a Real Composition relative
to Tithes A.D. 1238 ; and a List of Briefs for various collections to
"redeem captives in machines in Morocco," to assist refugees or sufierers
from tire ; to repair St. Paul's, Loudon, and similar objects.

In addition to those of the Church itself there are the accounts of
the Stewards of the Fraternity of Jesus Mass, in the Parish Church of
St. Edmund, Sarum, from 1476 until the dissolution of the College in
1547. Then follow the accounts of the Churchwardens of St. Thomas,
Sarum, sometimes called the Mart}'!, at others the Apostle. When in
1537 Thomas a Becket was declared by Henry YIII. to be no saint but
a rebel, all his festivals were abolished and his name and image were
erased ; the patron saint of this church was then conveniently described
as the Apostle. These accounts extend from 1545 to 1690 and are
supplemented by notes from later accounts and from the Minutes of the
Vestry. Some ancient documents relating to St. Edmund's, and a list
of Churchwardens close the volume.

Mr. Benson fortunatelj' made a transcript of many old Church
accounts, and much of what he then copied has since been lost. The

h

letter 13 marks material preserved in this way ; entries from the Journal
Book are marked ^.iS, and from the Vestry Book V,iS, The oldest
Minute Book of St. Thomas's Vestry begins in 1594 and the extracts
from it are marked 'k{,'V* ; it is called No. 1, Acts of the Vestry.
Endorsements marked H. are by Mr. Hatcher the Historian of Salisbury,
and the footnotes are all by Mr. Swayne.

It is unnecessary to refer to the value of the information contained
in these accounts. The facts were all noted at the time as they occurred,
and such notes are useful in so far as they are records of passing events,
depicted with no attempt at artistic effect, but with the accuracy of
detail and rugged truthfulness of a photograph. They indicate the
passage from one phase of social development to another ; the variations
in the price of material and labour ; the localities from which material
was obtained at different periods ; the scarcity and value of money ; the
debasement and depreciation of the currency ; the evolution of local
government from the time when trade guilds were powerful ; the history
of poor relief from its rise with the dissolution of the religious houses ;
the early relationship between the Justices and the Parish authorities
with regard to the relief of the poor ; the construction and maintenance
of the Highways ; the provisions for public safety in case of fire, be-
ginning with the Curfew and passing on to leathern buckets, hydrants
and fire engines; the establishment of workhouses ; and the growth of
assessment and rating. They show too the various changes in the daily
life and administration of the Church and " the things necessary to
be provided" by the Churchwardens for its services, under varying forms
of government. From this point of view alone these pages afi'ord a
graphic accompaniment to any volume of Church history. No less in-
teresting is the passage of one source of Church revenue into another
according to the form of religious teaching predominant at the time.
There were certain expenses which had to be met by the churchwardens
irrespective of what opinions were uppermost. When Hoktyde gatherings.
Lights, and Indulgences ceased, other means had to be devised for
raising the necessary income, until the complicated budgets of former
times became ultimately simplified into fees and rating. The power
possessed by the Ecclesiastical Courts is seen at first to extend to
matters, such as the recovery of rates, that at a later date would have
been made the subject of a civil suit ; and the way in which that power
was exercised over each church by means of visitations at which present-
ments had to be made to the Archbishop, Bishop, or Sub-Dean is well
exemplified in the churchwardens' accounts.

The Churchwardens or "Churchmen" were elected by the Vestry,
sometimes called the Gentlemen of the vestry or Masters. In 1636
there is a note that the ' Minister ' gives his consent to the election of
one of the churchwardens and the sidemen chosen for the parish of St.
Thomas. At St. Edmund's the earliest accounts run from St. John
Baptist's day to the Epiphany, or from Shere Thursday to Shere
Thursday, a cend clomini, the master's feast. At first three '' super visor es
fabricae" were chosen, and these were often re-elected; but from 1468
there were two "ancient" churchwardens, " gardiani ecclcsiae,'" whose
duty it was to begin the reparation of the church at Easter " and not

XI

wait till the Winter," and two junior wardens, custodes honorum et orna-
mentorum ecclesiae, who became the "ancients" in the second year of
their office. In times of difficulty some of the "Council of the Vestry"
assisted the Churchwardens in overlooking the repairs. At one time the
Vestry stood adjourned from Friday to Friday until the repairs were
finished. The Accounting Churchwarden, who held the purse, gave a
Bond with two sureties that he would account to the Vestry for money
received. After 1510 two churchwardens only were appointed, and the
one who did not hold the purse became surety for the accounting church-
warden. In 1552 Richard Rudge died in his year of office ; next year his
co-churchwarden was re-elected and the practice was thenceforth re-
sumed of serving two consecutive j'ears, the first as junior and the
second as senior warden. An honorary or extra churchwarden was
chosen in 1653 to countenance and help forward the building of the
tower. After 1GG2 four sidesmen were regularly appointed in each
parish to assist the churchwardens as testes sxjnodales at visitations and
in other ways.

The Wardens had to keep "Bills of parcels of the church," from which
the accounts were made up at Easter, and the office was not only onerous
but often costly. In the event of loss from delay in collecting rates, or
in making up the quarter book, the warden was held responsible. There
were many other troublesome duties that devolved on the churchmen.
In 1629 they had to note down those who were in receipt of relief, and
if any were absent from church they had to withhold that week's pay.
They had also to stand with a basin at the great door of the choir to
receive alms from such as came forth from the communion ; they had to
stand at all the doors of the church with basins after the end of every
sermon, at evening praj'er, and also after marriages and christenings
"of the better sort;" they had to wait for half an hour after evening
prayer at the upper end of the aisle at the East end of the choir,
to receive weekly and quarterly payments, instead of going from seat to
seat during the service as they used to do.

It became the custom, therefore, when a parishioner was unable or
unwilling to serve, to ask to be excused on payment of a fine to the
parish, and the amount of the fine was decided in vestry "by the more
voices," but it ranged from 20s. upwards. In 1675 it was resolved that
no fine should be less than £5 except in special circumstances ; thus
when a churchman was " well inclined to do service" but unable " by
failure of his eyes" his fine was reduced to £3 10s. The motives were
not always so disinterested, and Vestrymen sometimes reduced the fine
of a warden who had only served part of his time, "in consideration of
his giving them a Treat" (2-41). Past churchwardens and those who had
paid their fines were made members of the vestry. " Free gifts" of
203. or upwards were usually made on the admission of fresh vestrymen.
The vestry meetings were often held on Sunday after evening prayer.

The "Wardens or Stewards of fraternities, chapels, and lights, ren-
dered their accounts to the Masters in the same way as the Churchmen,
but no mention is made of chantry wardens. The Parish Priest,
presbyter, rector, minister, parson, or pastor was assisted by Chantry
Capellani, a Deacon, or Assistant (241), and a Clerk, who wa8 usually

62

Xll

in minor orders. When the clerk acted as Sacpistan he received
additional pay for any duties he performed as such (123). If the rector
were a preacher the clerk read morning prayers for a small additional
sum (55). Acolytes had no fixed salary but received a coat or a pair of
shoes for their services. At first when the organs were of a simple kind
no regular Organist was employed ; but later when more complicated
instruments were in use an organist was engaged, and a Tuner came
periodically or was sent for " to come and execute his office." Singing^
men were hired occasionally for a week or two, especially during a
Pardon, or in Lent. On the Fridays during Lent singers came from
the Cathedral to " synge at salve" (103), and were refreshed, as an old
writer puts it, " with a scholastical and moderate congratulacion, but no
superfluity or excess," of figs with bread and ale. In Wiltshire Smyrna
figs are still often called Lent or Lamb figs, a name which otherwise
would have been difficult to account for. The Sexton's duties lay
outside the church although the same person occasionally acted as
Sexton and Sacristan and even as Clerk "in the awbsence of the clerk
through sickiness" (82). The office of Sexton was at one time held by a
woman (241), and was sometimes a yearly appointment (186). When
required the sexton gave security (239) "to be true and faithfull in his
place, and demeane himself as he ought, and to keep his house free
from inmates and disorders." The ' mortuary stools' used at funerals
were supplied by the sexton (244). He occasionally received a small
extra payment for " going about the church" rousing adult sleepers,
and a little more for " geydinge of the children." If he owned the long
brushes used in " stryking down the wevet" he charged lOd. "for the
hire of the buyssam" (291).

The ring'ers were most important officers in the early years of these
accounts, when every important announcement was made from the church
steeple.

Besides the officers of the church itself there was a steward of the
SCOtale, who, like the churchwardens, was bound to serve when chosen,
or pay a fine.

The duties of the church officers were also greatly increased by the
custom of making everything that was wanted on the premises. When
books were written, bound, and repaired, the skins and clasps had all to
be bought and a scribe set to work ; when vestments were made, the
broderer was engaged to work up the blue damask with gold eagles, and
the silk and crewels were all bought and charged for ; crosses or candle-
sticks were repaired with broken silver from the treasury house ; new
wax was bought and worked up with the old ; and the sows of lead that
lay in the plummery had all to be accounted for by the custos bonorum
until used on the roof or gutters.

After 1670 two supervisors of the highways were also appointed
annually.

The names of the auditors are occasionally mentioned, and on one
occasion (297) five sign the list of sums due.

The accounts usually open with the balance in hand or " mony
numbred of the store of the churche owte of the chest of the Tresory"
(1478) ; this was handed over to the masters by the accountant with a

Xlll

list of arrears due. If the last accountant had not been discharged it
was a question whether the new churchwarden could sue for these
arrears, and a model opinion of counsel will be found on this point at
page 352. The balance in the treasury was not always in current coin,
but included " trasche money and galj-halfpens in a pors with odyr
brokyn syh-yr," "a marc left from John a Dovers time," " a sum in
French crowns; "' and even the current coin had at times to be discounted
" when the shilling came to uinepence" and " the groat to twopence."
The balance was then handed over by the masters to the next church
warden in the presence of the Mayor and others. A quire of paper was
bought, 1476 (363) to enter the " parcels of the church," and " 30
counters to lay the accounts with;" the auditors were rarely rapid
accountants, and doubtless verified their reckonings on an exchequer or
counting board.

The junior wardens or ciistodes honoriim et ornamentorum had an
inventory of the property of the church, which they checked on
assuming office. The inventory in use in 1472 is printed at page 3, and
corrections will be found at p. 371. In the hands of the deacon were
suits of vestments of various colours for the Christian seasons with palls
or helj'uge for the altar. Besides these there were many other suits, one
blue cope with the Passion in the Orfrayes was reputed to be that of St.
Edmund ; many of them were embroidered with eagles, branches, dogs,
trefoils, escalloppys of puffe feathers, beasts and birds ; and there were
black suits for mortuaries. There were also palls for the sepulchre, with
sheets of Renues, veils for the high altar and rood ; a mitre and
Episcopal gloves are also enumerated, which may have been used by a
Nicholas Bishop, but were more probably the mitre and gloves of St.
Edmund, the founder of the College.

The Church Plate is carefully described, and included numerous
chalices, patens, crosses, candlesticks, censers, incense boats, oilvats,
cups, holywater vessels, sprinklers, pix, and an osculatorium of silver
gilt representing the Crucifixion with Mary and John, mounted on a
gospeller of vellum ; as well as a copperen pax.

In the early ages of the church, Mass was celebrated on the tombs of
the martyrs, hence arose the custom of depositing relics of Saints about
the altar. At St. Edmund's there were Relics of S. Edmund's shirt,
ring, and ivory comb ; a relic of St. Edward's shirt ; St. Dunstan's
stole ; and a piece of the skull of St. "SVolfrise.

The Books and Manuscripts included missals, gospellers, epistlers,
grayles, breviaries, antiphonevB, legenda, psalters, collectaria, dirige, pro-
cessionals, "Hugocon y chaynyd in our Lady Chapell," Life of the
Saints, and a Book for the organs. The collation of the manuscripts is
carefully given in the inventory so that the copies might still be traced.

From time to time printed books were bought, a Prymyr boke (366),
Song book of the Psalms (74), Bibles (75), Psalters (89), Prayer book
commanded by the King (152), Ordinals (89), Homily books (71), Book
of Procession (284), Communion books (97), Book of the Pharasyres
(103), or paraphrases of Erasmus. There were books issued for special
occasions. Prayer Book for the King (320), for the Queen (296), for the
Parliament (321), Book on the Earthquake (126), Book read during the

XIV

great plague (183), during the dearth, Book of toleration (200), Book to
be read once a year (232), Book to be read on Fasting days (206),
Prayers the Aparator brought to be read (212), Book of Ordinances of
Presbytryal government (219), Book from his Majesty for the better
regulating of preachers (336), The King's letter (346), The King's
Declaration (344), Books of Canons ecclesiastical (336), Books of
Injunctions and of Articles of Visitations (146, 290), the Book of
Martps chained in the church, and many others.

There were also paper books for prick songs (75), Eegister books of
householders (134), of Christenings (132), of Banns (132), of Burials,
of takers of the Sacrament (132, 326), of strange ministers (212, 343),
of those buried in woollen (343).

Receipts.

The gathering's made at the church doors and in church on Good
Friday, Easter eve, and Easter day, for the fabric and for church works,
form generally the first item in the receipts ; then come the sums
received for the Font-taper and FuUing-taper. The collections " ad
cerumfontis'' were made on Shore Thursday, Easter eve, and Easter day
throughout the year. The cost of wax for this taper is charged in the
accounts and there is a (36) charge for making a font taper to be used
" tempore grave vn/irmitatis." The " font taper and Deacon's wages"
became one collection at St. Thomas's in 1548, and soon after the sum
is entered as " Deacon's Wages and Halfpence at Easter," "Offerings
and tithes at Easter," or the " Easter Book." In St. Edmund's the
Font-taper goes on until 1589, when it becomes " The Hawpeuce" for
Easter dues, and so continues till 1641, when it seems to have merged
into the Quarter Book. A small sum is occasionally entered as Casualties,
which was money collected from those who had received the communion
but whose names were not in the Easter Book. The Pascal money was
paid by the parishioners when they "took their rights," which meant
confession, absolution, and communion at Easter. The Pascal taper
was blessed on Easter eve, was kept lighted till Holy Thursday, and
was lighted again at Whitsuntide. It was elevated on a large stock,
and entries occur for drawing and dressing the stock, for draught, light,
301b. wax to make the pascal, and for mending the case in which the
taper was moulded. In 1491 there is a charge of one penny for coals to
make holy fire on Easter eve : all lights were then quenched and fresh
fire drawn from flint, and distributed by hallowed tapers. The Fullingf
taper was probably that in use at the purification of women, or it may
have been the painted taper used at the feast of the Purification and
symbolical of the "Light to lighten the Gentiles."

Besides the Font taper and Pascal there were other lights supported
by collections made in church, or gathered by guilds and fraternities
which had their own stewards or wardens. The Rood light was sup-
ported by the "devotion of the people" at Christmas (28), in front of
it hung a trendel-wheel, and in Lent a stained veil of Osnaburg
canvas.

In the Lady Chapel there were Altar lights. Within the choir
there was a lamp supported by a confraternity having a 'proctor'; on

XV

the high altar were Perchers and Paris candles, " the taper before the
Sacrament," and on Christmas day "two torches of rosom." Over the
sepulchre at Easter a number of lights were fixed on pins of beech and
ash. In the Nave there was a light " at the Image of the Cross with
Mary and John painted and gilded with stars ; " the Confraternity or
Guild of Jesus Mass and the Holy Cross supported the Morrow Mass
or Holy Cross Altar, over which there was a tablement : this mass was
held at 6 a.m., and the accounts of the Confraternity are printed at page
248. There were besides " within the church" the Wife's Light (which
was brought in by the waits on Candlemas day, the wives' feast day), the
Lights of the Trinity, Maidens, Servants, of St. Christopher, and of
St. James. There was a light for the visitation of the sick (36) and a
lantern to carry (27) day or night with the Sacrament of the Altar.
Mention is made of the Banner of St. Eustace, but not of a light. In
the North Aisle was the Chapel of St. John Baptist with a light, and
apparently in 1473 with a rood loft. There were chapels or altars
dedicated to St. Nicholas, St. Fabian, St. Sebastian, St. Julian the
Confessor, and St. Andrew. There was an altar to St. Lawrence with
" grees" or steps in front and a 'sacring bell,' and there was a picture of
St. Gregory with his three crowns. The Weavers' Guild had a chaplain
who used the Morrow Mass altar. Besides the ceremonial tapers, there
was an allowance for tallow candles " to say service by" in hrumd.
Many of the altars had a skob with a lock and key to hold their orna-
ments and books. In the cemetery was the Chapel of St. Catherine,
which belonged to the adjoining College of St. Edmund and was alienated
with it at its dissolution. It was supported by a charge on the li\ang of
Winterbourne Martin. Some of the lights were kept up by the hire of
sheep given to support them (61 — 63). Under the title of Increases
will be found entered the sums brought in by the various Confraternities
or Guilds at their annual festivals. The stewards of each light received
a certain sum as "stock," to be used in the best way the}' could in main-
taining their light and promoting the success of their festival ; after
deducting the expenses incurred from what they had collected, and
retaining ' stock' for next year, the balance or " increase" was brought in
" to be hallowed," and given to the Churchwardens for Church works.
The Weavers, Joiners, Bakers, Parchment Makers, Iremungers, and
Shoemakers are among the crafts making oflerings.

The Guild of St. George, which was founded in the time of Edward HI.,
consisted of the 24 Aldermen and the 48 Councillors. It had its chapel
festival on St. George's Day, when it carried " the Jorge harnysed" in
procession to the Cathedral, to which it gave an oblation of S^d. in 1474.
Its priest had a seat at the Mayor's table.

Occasionally gcatherings in kind appear to have been made. In
1462 a benevolence of lead was granted by the parishioners for roofing
the church.

Oblations and devotions of divers people to the Church, were re-
ceived because of the ludulgentia (or remission) of the Pope, his letters,
of old time granted to the Church of St. Edmund. The pardons were
at Michaelmas and the Annunciation, and on these occasions the Hand
and Ring of St. Edmund (53) and other relics were exposed to the

XVI

faithful making oblations. Six bills were written in English to declare
the indulgence, and in 1471 a child was hired to keep the pardon at
the Annunciation, and Robert Glasyer to keep it at Michaelmas. The
receipts are stated to be (33) " thydes and all costs quit," one third of
the offerings in early times having gone to Rome. In 1480 (25) "all
manner of pardons were annulled for a time by reason of the Indulgence
of St. John of Jerusalem." The Knights of St. John were besieged at
Rhodes by Mahomet II., their situation was so urgent that a special
effort had to be made by the Pope on their behalf, and other bulls
were temporarily suspended. Only the amount of wax actually used or
" wasted" is charged for at these times.

Gifts and bequests were made to the church either in money or
in kind. They were sometimes made with the object of having the
donor's name put on the bede roll (13), at others they seem to have been
a continuation of the old corse presents taken by the priest, a form of
heriot for neglected personal tithes. Some of the articles bequeathed
are very curious, but at a time when money was extremely scarce it was
often the only way in which a soulscot could be paid. A murray (or
mulberry coloured) gown furred, a cloth of stamen (tammy), a simple
gown, a brass pot, a brass maselin (mortar), an oak coffer, broken silver,
spoons, rings, and jewels are among the articles bequeathed ; live stock
such as bees and sheep are sometimes included. The bede roll gifts were
often for such a consideration as this — to set the names of the donor, of
his two deceased wives, and of his and their fathers and mothers, in the
bede roll, so that when the parish priest rehearsed it from the pulpit
the people there present might pray for their souls. Money to buy
articles for the church or vestments for the priest was often given and the
consideration was sometimes for a month's mind, six months' mind,
year's mind, or for perpetual obits. By the canon 84 of 1603 the parson
is to urge men when they make their testament to leave some contri-
bution to the alms chest. The capital sum of Pearce's legacy of £5 for
the poor was used (p. 197) for repairing the church and interest at 8 per
cent, paid to the alms box by the churchwardens for its use.

Scotale, King" ale and King" plays appear to have afforded a certain
revenue from 1461 to 1497. There is no mention of the locality in
which the Scotale House or Taphouse was situated, but it was constantly
kept in repair. A small street near the Church is still called Scott
Lane, and this may possibly be an abbreviation of Scotale Lane, although
the usual explanation given is that it was the quarter of the Scottish
Masons engaged in building the Cathedral.

There is no purchase of malt for brewing, nor any revenue derived
from the loan of brewing vessels, it is therefore probable that the ale
for the Taphouse was bought ready brewed and sold at a profit. In
1487 William Kensington left a certain amount of malt to the churches
of Stapleford and South Newton which apparently brewed their ales, but
to St. Edmund's he left 6s. 8d. for church works, and 20s. each to the
Altars of Jesus and Holy Cross. The ale for the maundy is specially
stated to have been bought by the covill from William Gryster and others.

The King ales were held on the weeks before and after Pentecost and
at the Translation of St. Edmund. For each week one male and one

female collector was appointed to preside, and any one who failed to
preside (regnare) in bis turn was fined 8d. Even the Deacon was not
excused without paying his fine. Ales were the great social gatherings
of the parish, when all classes met together ; whenever the church pro-
claimed a holiday it opened for the servant his master's door, at a time
when a servant was often practically a bondman. An ale was the
principal means employed in raising money for any extraordinary
demand. In 1461 the scotale, divcrsis jocaUhiis regihus et reginis,
produced £23 8s. lOd., equal to nearly £300 at the present time. In
Corpus Christi week 9s. lOd. is charged for the players' apparel and pro-
perties such as chevrons or perukes of kid and hair, tow for hair, fustian,
tinfoil, 3-4 dozen signa jocalUs, writing the inscriptions, pix to collect the
money, the hire of a woollen shroud, &c.

The clerk's ales lasted until 1651 at St. Thomas' and 1697 at St.
Edmund's, and when they were abolished both the clerk and sexton
claimed compensation for the loss of income sustained.

In 1490 the word "King" is erased and the representations then given
"alys plaies" were probably mysteries or miracle plays usually performed
in summer in the choir. The mummers, who were musicians belonging
to the corporation, geuerall}' formed the orchestra on these occasions.

Among the receipts at St. Edmund's from 1499 until 1581 are the
collections for church works at Hocktyde or " feast of Hokkes" a
fortnight after Easter ; it was usual then to stop passengers with great
merriment by drawing a rope across the road and to refuse to let them
go without a small ransom. In this way money was obtained " from
diverse wifies and maydens to save them from byndynge in Hok
Tuysday," ^'ad custodiendum illas a ligacioyie." I have failed to observe
that it was the custom here for the men to stop the women on one par-
ticular day, and the women the men on another ; it is probable that
during some part of the day each had their turn ; and the churchmen
and the women appear to have gathered and brought in something "of
the devotion of the people" ad fahricam ecclesiae. The Churchwardens
paid 13s. 4d. in drinks for the men and women that gathered at Hock-
tyde, and the women apparently had occasionally a dinner (57).

At St. Thomas's there is a common entry for " the gatherings at
Hoktyde and on Frick Friday and this sum is received by the hands
of our wives and for the gatherings of the sons and daughters, and of the
servants."

Gatherings were also made and money received by the Churchwardens
for dancing", at Whitsuntide and at the May-pole dances. Occasionally
these dances took place within the church and in 1490 there is a charge
for cleaning the church at the ' daunce of powles ;' a sum is also paid at
another time for " a pece of Tymber for a ynner grounselle of Powlia
Daunce" (40). The Bcden or Birch pole used* at these daunces probably
gave its name to Beden Row running at one side of the Litton. There
were also Children's dances and wives' dances until about 1613, from all
of which a sum " was gotten to the profit of the church."

In the Gang-week or Rogation week there were ceremonial processions
like the Roman Terminaha for the purpose of ofi'ering up litanies, or
rogations for a blessing on the crops, and also for ' beating the bounds.'

XVlll

It was a season of social concourse well described by George Herbert,*
cakes and ale were distributed to the parishioners making the perambu-
lation, and one parish received the visits of another. The ringers and
banner bearers (29) of St. Edmund's were paid for bringing in St.
Thomas's procession on the second day of Rogation week ; John Goode
the Armorer charged for clensynge of Seynte George Harnys and Stroud
for setting it on. The waits (63) were paid for bringing in the pro-
cession and the ringers received money bread and drink " in alle the
Eogacione Weke and afterwardes in Holy dais scil Whitsoutide, Trynyte
Sonday, and Corpus Xpi day," or as it is elsewhere put on Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in Cross week, on the procession
day, and on Corpus Christi day.

Receipts from Holy Water do not appear to have belonged to the
parish, but between 1534 and 1540 at St. Edmund's, and at St. Thomas
in 1547, sums are entered as received from this source. It is probable
from a note in 1540 that it was " the deacon's half," to which these
entries referred, and that these occasional sums were only received when
the deacon's office was vacant.

Holy Loaf or holy cake was the continuation of the Eulogiae, or
gifts of blessed (not consecrated) bread. It was usually baked along
with the wafers at the Church House, but I have not observed any
entries of obley irons, or flour, nor any evidence as to where the holy
bread was baked. The bread is charged for, as also cakes on Ascension
day (349) and Good Friday, and bread on Palm Sunday (73). The
panis sanctificatus when distributed to the congregation was carried
round " in uno coffane" (58) and the collection was made at the same
time. The first notice at St. Edmund's of the Holy cake as a receipt is
in 1535, and a few years later it is stated that the deacon received "a
like sum." It was the practice for the priest and the churchwardens to
divide the cost of the elements. When the Holy loaf cantell is dis-
continued in 1587 a sum of similar amount appears until 1641 as
" bread and wine." Holy cake continues at St. Thomas's from 1547 to
1661, when a sum is entered " instead of holy cake money." In 1580 it
became " Communion money " or " Communion bread money," and
was collected by a cantell book from districts usually described as the
checker or street-block in which a certain inn was situated (214). The
amount paid by each was a halfpenny, and 8d. was collected by the Clerk
each week, going through the families in the cantell book in turn.
" Casualties" as has been said were sums received from communicants
whose names were not in the cantell book. There was also an off'ertory
after the celebration and in 1628 it was ordained that the bread and
wine were to be paid for out of the ancient payment of the halfpence,
and if that were insufficient out of the money collected after the com-
munion. In 1633 a rate was ordered to be made throughout the parish
for bread and wine for the communion, and the holy loaf to cease.

In 1699 "clerk's groats" are mentioned as a form of Easter dues.

The Quarter-toook or "Easter Book" was begun in 1560 when the
gatherings for the fabric and church works became insufficient. Special

rates of a 3, 10, 12, or 20 years' rate were sometimes made for ex-
traordinary repairs, and any neglect to pay was met by the parator
summoning and the beadle distraining. The Easter Book was the
continuation of the font taper and pascal collections.

Banns, Weddings, Churchings, and Christening's were all sources
of income to the churchwardens. In the St. Thomas's Accounts in
1547 Holy Cake and Banns form a common item, which the Deacon
shared. At St. Edmund's when knells disappeared in 1557, burials
and christenings were entered as a receipt ; and a register of weddings,
christenings, and buryings began to be kept, to which in loGO Banns
were added. These fees seem to have been collected by the clerk or
sexton (125 — 7). A new register of christenings and burials was begun
at St. Thomas's in 1569 and the old one copied into it. The fees for
christenings are sometimes (141) called "christening pence." In 1611
" Wedding offerings" appear, and this is preceded by a note to the effect
that xii'' in the pound should be for the use and benefit of the church,
and if this were so the offerings themselves seem to have varied from
£1 lOs. to £4. \\^hen the new organs were being built the church-
wardens used to appeal at weddings for help, and often received an
offering ; " William Bedyn's jorneman, for his maredge 4d" is credited
to the organ.

At page 104 will be found a note that the junior churchwarden owed
the church 7s. for 28 crysoms. The cpysom was a fine white linen
vestment provided by the parent and put on the child at baptism. It
was worn for seven days and at the churching was presented to the
priest and apparently sold again for the benefit of the church. At St.
Thomas's in 1561 the crysoms were farmed out by the year. Money
offerings were made at the purification of women.

Until the time of Henry VIII. there was a charge for the Forthfare
bell which was rung for those " in extremis," as the soul was " passing"
out on its journey, tempore exitiis animae, tempore expirationian. It
served not only to summon the priest to administer the last offices of the
Church, but also to invite the intercessory prayers of the faithful.

Knells were rung after death and unlike the passing bell were rung
for those beyond as well as within the parish. Entries occur of the
knells of "my lord Bishop" who died at Ramsbury in 1524 and of Lady
Pembroke in 1549. Knells were paid for according to their duration
and a 7 or 15 hours knell must have been a troublesome expression of
grief to those who lived near. The canons in that behalf made Hmited
knells (1636), and the sexton was ordered not to ring any knell above
the space of an hour, and, * if after monition he should eftsoons oftend
therein,' he was to be removed from his place of Sexton. In two years
he appears to have forgotten and offended again, his wages for the next
quarter were stopped, "and if this admonition and punishment shall
mot amend him but that he transgress in the like manner, it is ordered
that he lose and be put out of his Sexton's place." Forthfares and
knells had been forbidden by the Injunctions of Bishop Hooper in 1551,
but a hundred years later the practice continued and the sexton had 6d.
for " passing the great bell one hour."

Fees were paid for the hire of ornaments at funerals (42), the best or

XX

the second best (57) cross, candlesticks, and pall, or the hearse cloth for
the day of burying ; and when there was a sermon 6d. was charged " for
laying the pulpit cloth." In 148 J: the great candlesticks of tree, made
and ordained to stand about the sepulture of dead people within the
church, were lent in the same way. There was also a hearse and
black altar. The brauderer was paid (51) for making a blak worsteds
cope. There were fees for the bells at burials, as well as at death, for
forthfares and knells (102), and these varied according to the number of
bells and number of hours rung. The fees for the bells were appor-
tioned among the churchwardens, minster, clerk, and ringers, according
to an arrangement agreed upon (194).

The mortuary fees belonged to the church and varied with the
position of the grave inside or outside the church. When St. Edmund's
was reconstructed the portions of the churchyard within the old foun-
dations were still charged for as "within the old church." At first
bodies were not " chested," and an extra charge was made when a coffin
was used. Fees (surplice fees) were pa3'able to the minister and clerk,
and in 1651 a further charge occurs for registration in the Record of
the people buried, the fee w^as 4d., and 3s. 4d. wdll be found charged for
writing the Registers (225). The fees for tombstones were in addition
to the usual mortuary fees, and old stones were apparently resold by
the churchwardens : inscriptions had to be sanctioned by "the church-
wardens or gentlemen of the vestry," and in 1549 a fine of 40s. was
inflicted for engraving an inscription without permission.

Some of the fees were very small (95), for burying a poor child l^d.
and for burying a stillborn child the charge was Id. The question
whether the Rector could bury his daughter within the chancel without
the payment of the usual fees to the church, will be found discussed
(329).

Sometimes parishioners expressed a wish to be buried at their own
pew door or near a special altar : William Chapman was laid in front of
the altar of St. Julian the Confessor, and the mother of the wax-chandler
in the chapel of the Blessed Virgin.

The amount of the burial fees in any one account afi'ords some index
to the health of the year. W^hen the plague or sweating sickness swept
over the city the burial fees were more than doubled, although fields
were rented outside the parish in which the dead w^ere buried.

In 1579 the Mayor was elected at St. Thomas's, instead of St.
Edmund's Church as usual, because the plague was then " hot " around
St. Edmund's. In one of the plague years 2d. was charged on 17th
October " for firankumsens to burne in the churche agaynst ye masters
came to chose Master Mayre." Rosemary and bay, (333), sweet woods,
(299), and juniper were bought from time to time, and in a church in
which uncoffined bodies were constantly buried, their use was probably of
a sanitary as well as ceremonial character.

No special charge appears to have been made for the Bier or the
Shrouding" Board. At first the only coffin used was that upon the bier ;
over this the pall was thrown and the body was buried in the shroud.
The word coffin as we have seen is used elsewhere for the basket in
which the holy loaf was handed round; and the receptacle on the bier is

XXI

sometimes called a cradle, chest, case, or coffin. In 1588 the church-
wardens paid for a shroud and the hurial of a poor soldier, but no coffin
is mentioned. The same occurs also in 1644. In this year the regis-
tration of births as well as baptisms, marriages, and burials, was ordered
by the Directory, and the fee was xii'^. When civil marriages began to
be recognised a lay register came into force in 1653. Just as the earlier
registers which were of baptisms came to be registers of births, so the
registers of burials passed into registers of deaths. In 1677 a Register
book of Parchment was got for inserting the names of those " buried
in woollen," and the Act of Parliament (1666) regulating this new
register was bought. This curious Act was only repealed in 1814,
although it had long fallen into disuse. It professed to be an Act to
prevent the exportation of money for the buying of linen abroad, and it
ordained that no person should be buried in any shirt, shift, or sheet of
flax, hemp, silk, hair, gold, or silver, or in anything other than sheep's
wool only ; even the quilling of the coffin had to be of woollen stufl[\
As this provision was evaded an affidavit that the Act had been complied
with was, in 1678, insisted on, and had to be registered by the clergyman
within eight days. After the burial service the Clerk was wont to call
out, " Who maketh affidavit?" whereupon some relative made oath and
the fact was noted in the register. The fine for contravening the Act
was £5, of which half went to the poor of the parish.

The Bier was kept in the Bierhouse or casula pro Uhitind which at
St. Thomas's was close to the Belfry, and was altered in 1620 into a
house for the Sexton.

From the earliest period in these accounts the parishioners appear to
have been in the habit of paying for being " Serten of seats," " assertys
of segys," for (1456) "seats assigned," " dimissiones sice cnnductiones
sedum." The fines paid secured this certainty of a seat sometimes for
life and at other times for a fixed period. A fine was also paid on
changing a pew ; seats did not go with houses. It was the " ancient
use and custom" that on the death of a man or his wife the seat reverted
to the church and had to be recompouuded for, for the benefit of the
church. When the nave of the church of St. Edmund's was pulled down
and the choir reconstructed in 1653, the seats were all assigned afresh.
There seems to be no distinct instance of a pew having being sold, money
was sometimes paid "for the ground the pew stood upon," but this was
only for the lives of the builder, his wife and children. In 1657 per-
mission was given to build a gallery over the great west door, the builder
to have the seats for 17 years, but five years afterwards the bishop
ordered it to be removed and the font replaced there in a decent manner.
Absentees from the city lost their right to have a seat reserved and
could only hire one quarterly. The Mayor, the 24 Aldermen, and the
48 Councillors had certain pews reserved for them in every church by
"ancient custom," and when sworn into the 24 the new alderman had to
surrender his old seat in church for the alderman's pew or ancientests
seat, and his wife had to give up hers and go with the alderwomen or
" mistresses"" who sat behind the aldermen. They had to pay the tax for
these seats just as in other parts of the church. The ex-Mayor at St.
Thomas's had a special seat before he returned to the 24 (315). Behind

zxu

the councillors sat the sons and daughters of the 24 and 48 and " other
children of the better sort"" whose fathers paid for them the sums fixed
by the vestry. The Bishop had a seat at St. Thomas's. The Taverners,
Weavers, and certain trade guilds had seats at St. Edmund's, the Tailors
had a bench at St. Thomas's in which the Warden sat in front and the
others were placed behind by the Churchwardens. The midwives had
in both churches a seat close to the font. When in Presbyterian times
the font was removed to a place " convenient to the minister's seat"
the midwives seat followed it, and when the font was restored, their pew
Avas also put back to its former situation, and the pew " that used to be
the midwive's" was let. By Shaxton's Injunctions in 1538 it was en-
joined that parishioners and especially the midwives should be taught
the essential forms of lay baptism in case of necessity.

There were pews called the " wylfe's pews" or " wermen's seats," and
it seems probable that the men and women sat apart. The pews were
numbered (315) and a register kept ; the seats for those in receipt of
relief were marked in great red letters, "for the poor," and their week's
pay was kept back if they did not attend. Among the names to whom
seats were assigned will be found some curious examples of early sur-
names. Besides the usual trade or occupation names, such as Gaston
Quarrier, Christopher Pewterer, John Helyer, Kettle the Plummer,
Bartlymer Glover, Batten the Joiner, Purnel Sumner, or Margery
Silkwoman, we have some curious descriptive titles given, as " Mother
midwife's husband," "The goodwife's daughter of the Blue Boar," " The
hair maker's wife," " The foyster in the Market Place," " The crossbow-
maker," " William a lawne," " Richard by the wood," " a woman under
the clock," " The Northern man in Castle Street," " a Sherman's wife at
Fisherton Bridge." A 'grocer' is mentioned in 1649. In 1456 we find
an instance of a double Christian name, John William Touker.

The pews had doors hung with " twistes," then with " gemowes," and
later with " hengists," showing the evolution of the hinge from a twist,
or twisted wire and hook, to a gemellus of twin pieces, and lastly to the
present hinge. The pews were also locked, some had cupboards with
locks, and three women were appointed to open the seat doors. In 1651
unlet seats were ordered to be nailed up.

In 1622 the St. Edmund's seats were made narrower so as to get a
larger number in, and moveable or flap seats were often placed against
the pew doors for children or servants. In 1637 portable seats in the
aisles were let to the youths of the parish. At one time it was con-
sidered a great privilege to have a seat near the pulpit, "and if the pulpit
were moved those prejudiced were to be satisfied, or have their money
returned."

The Mayors ordered the churchwardens from time to time to cover
their pews in a becoming manner, and charges appear at St. Edmund's
for green kersey at 2s. 6d. a yard, for stuffing, bumpas, inkle and nails ;
and at St. Thomas's for Mockadowe, an imitation velvet common in
Queen Elizabeth's time, and for Sa3-es, Buckerom, parchment and lace.*
The aldermen's pew was covered with green baize, and there are charges

XXlll

for mats for the pews and a butt for the clerk. There were rests, or
crooks and loops, for the maces and a frame for the swords (233) on the
Mayor's pew, which had his arms " flourished" on it. Occasionally the
chantry chapels were let as pews (292, 308).

No one presumed to sit except where he was placed, if he did ho
was fined 2s. each time, and those who had not provided themselves
with pews were occasionally warned to do so. At a time when church
attendance was compulsory it would have been impossible for the " three
discrete persons named by the ordinary " to see that the parishioners
were present, unless they sat in their own pews. In 1667 the sidesmen
and churchwardens had to report absentees to the Justices of the Peace
at their monthly meetings (339). Although the intention was to compel
parishioners to compound for their seats the sexton was nevertheless
ordered to be " careful of strangers that come to hear, and direct them to
any seats void when the sermon begins, that strangers may know the
respect the parish do bear towards them."

The chief arrangement of the pews may easily be made out from
pages 169, 230 and 232, where however the mayor's position seems
peculiar, for it is said that "the West seate of the frontispiece is to bee
the Maiors seate, and to bee for the Aldermens wives, and the three
seates behind to be for women only."

There is a charge for boards for lights before the pews.

Forensical receipts form an item in many of the accounts and include
such sums as the hire of the vestments of the church by private chap-
lains engaged in performing masses for the dead ; the fees received
while the sexton's office was vacant ; and the rents paid at St. Edmund's
fair by cheesesellers, butchers, tanners, and other craftsmen for stalls
and standings in the litton, within the wall of the churchyard and
without. A sum was also received from three persons for pollution of
the litton, an act which involved a journey to Wells for the Suflragan
to reconsecrate it.

The sale of divers thing's is a frequent item and includes things
either found in the church such as bead-stones and a " dandy plate"
(dandiprat, a small coin), or things bequeathed to the church from time
to time ; but occasionally, it is to be regretted, we find old brass, pewter
and marble stones sold to be used afresh.

After the visitations in the time of Edward VI. and Elizabeth an
enormous amount of church goods was sold. On pages 91 and 110
will be found the sale of the altars and the cost of pulling them down
and carrying out the rubble, the sale of skobs, ucaling box of lead,
banners of St. Nicholas and St. Eustace, the rood cloth, holy water pot,
lamp, pyx, crosses, vestments, &c., belonging to St. Edmund's ; and on
pages 275 and 283 — 7 will be found the sale at St. Thomas's of brass
which was upon graves, and tombs of brass, lavers, vestments, bells,
holy water pot, brazen stick, crewetes, &:c. Occasional receipts were
the Rents from tenements and gardens, and interest on loans. Interest
in 1541 was 10 per cent., in 1633 8 per cent., and in 1657 it had fallen
to 6 per cent. The tenements had been granted for obits, and in con-
sequence disappear from the accounts at the Reformation.

Payments.

The earliest payment is connected with the Maundy OP Mandatum
Novum. The accounts of the wardens of St. Edmund's Church and
of Jesus Mass were made up annually on Shere Thursday, in die
parasceiies. They paid a scribe for " intitulating" them in their Journal
Book, and engrossing them on a vellum roll. " Bread ale and vytaille"
were provided for the accountants, white ashen cups or maundy dishes
were bought, and 2 dozen crewses hired (63). There is no distinct
mention of maunds being given away by the parish, but in 1562 the
priest contributed 3s. 4d. towards the maundy. The large quantity of
ale usually bought was not all consumed " in cena domini,'''' but the
masters of the parish appear to have drunk " the reversion of the Maundy
ale" afterwards, a penny being charged for the bread jJ?'o magistris
parochics qui hiherunt reversionem cerevisice de le maundye in die jjasclie
et in septimana ejusdem (55). The wardens had a dinner or breakfast
" after the old custom" on Easter day, at which the traditional dish was
" caluishede cum le hengysse" (calves'" heads, heart, liver, and lights),
eggs, majTigates (manchets), and cakes, bread, cheese, and a flagon of
wine. Tlae henge is still the word used in Wiltshire to describe the
liver and lights of an animal. Although this diet was somewhat Spartan
in its simplicity, yet I am afraid that the Blacke Soope charged on 276
was not the genuine Spartan article, but a common alkaline detergent.

Repairs.

The churchwardens' principal duty was to keep the fabric of the church
with its goods and ornaments in repair, and to preserve the churchyard
in decent order. In St. Edmund's that portion of the chancel which
extended from the cross in the pavement to the east end of the choir,
and the aisles at the end of the choir (180) were repaired by the parish.
There does not seem ever to have been a separate rate made for the
fabric and for the chattels of the church.

The original church of St. Edmund's was 176 feet in length ; the
nave was 78 feet and had six arches ; the choir was the same length and
had five arches. The present church consists of the choir with a modern
chancel ; the destruction of the old nave when the tower fell will be
found described at page 228. There w^as also a transept or North and
South cross aisle ; and the Lady Chapel occupied the South, and St.
John Baptist's Chapel the North side aisles of the choir.

Choir. — From these accounts we learn that there was a triple roof
over the choir with its side chapels, which was at one time tiled and
at another covered with " slates of stone from Chilmark." There were
lead gutters between the divisions of the roof, and these were reached
by "gutter doors" (212). On the East end was a vane. The roof
within was ceiled and there were three lattices to keep out the pigeons.
In the East end was the great Avindow which required to be " settled"
by the Freemason in 1624. A portion of the chancel was cut off by a
moveable wainscot to make a retiring room for the preacher before and
after the sermon, and this was used at one time as a vestry and school-
room. The West end of the choir was separated from the nave by a
rood-loft, screen, and doors. Besides this the North rood-loft in the

XXV

North cross aisle, was at first a rood-beam, but later a loft with sperys
or screen on a stone base (15). The rood altar was used by the ^lorrow
Mass priest (27), who had a skob near it to hold his portuoise.

Within the choir was the High Altar of St. Edmund, which had a
table with a canopy over it hanging by a pulley and a " vyse de assump-
sione sub le canopy ad summam altare," probably for access when relics
were exposed. There was a painted lenten cross (100) to be used when
the crucifix was placed in the sepulchre.

In front of the high altar was a stone step (27) covered with ' Dornyk""
for the priest to kneel on. A table also stood by the high altar (91), and
there was another for the deacon and subdeacou.

The parochial altar was apparently placed (40) on the South side of the
choir, with '" a grayle lyeuge daily before ye parisshe preste."

A chest "that was the poor man's box" stood in the chancel to
hold the great books (120), but was taken up to the vestry and (169)
a bound wooden chest brought down instead.

In the choir stood also the ' great chair,"" which was of some size, for it
was mended with 13 feet of board and rings of iron. There was also
a ' great chair' at the Altar of our Lady, and it is probable that these
were used as ' pardon chairs' for confession ' in sight of the people.'
There is no mention of shryving pews, shryving houses, or confessionals
of any kind other than these.

At the junction of the choir and transept was a picture of St. Gregory
with his three crowns. In 1538 a painter was paid 2d. for " putting
out his three crowns," and at the same time his triple crown was removed
from another tablement in the church.

The Tower stood between the choir and the nave, the transept or
cross aisle passing " under the belfry from the south to the north door."
Apparently when the tower began to sink in 1623 the choir roof slipped
away from the tower, and a carpenter was brought from De^-izos to give
his opinion ; the East part of the choir meantime (176) was bolted up with
' treest' and hooks, and the roof supported with oak props. The carpenter
undertook to repair it at 3s. a perch, payable every Saturday night.

"Within the choir on its North side was erected the Sepulchre, dressed
in Holy Week and watched till Easter Day. All the charges for the
sepulchre, staples, posts, pins of ash and beech for the lights, masons'
and painters' charges for fitting it up, and watchers for watching, or
'* kepynge of the quyer door a nester day" (110), will be found in each
pre-reformation account.

Mats were (1594) pronded for communicants to kneel on, in 1626
* furmes' for them to kneel at in the choir, and later a chancel rail and
two short forms. A piece of wainscot (200) used to lie on the com-
munion table "to save the cloth." The choir was paved with square
bricks (202). but the sexton (219) had occasionally to fill up hollow
places, and make it clean and level, while the practice was prevalent of
burying within the church. In 1560 a painter wrote Scripture about in
the church, and ^loyse's tables were set at the high altar ; in 1572 the
Queen's arms and The Commandments were placed at the upper end
of the choir ; the Queen's arms were more elaborately put up twenty
years later, and 6d. was paid to a pursuivaunt probably for examining the

XXVI

heraldic portions of the work. In 1650 the Mayor gave orders to wash
out the King's arms, hut at the restoration this whitewash was removed
and the King's arms again " made clear."

Although writing was not so common then as now, boys appear to
have been much the same, for in 1664 the churchwardens had the
chancel washed to remove the names "which the boys rudely set in."
They had even at that early date developed a taste for window breaking
(236) and had acquired a propensity for dropping articles on wor-
shippers" heads below, so that it was deemed prudent not to allow boys
to sit in the front seat of the gallery (325).

The Tower had a belfry, bells, a clockhouse and steeple ; there was
a "treading wheel" that served to wind things up into the tower, a
turret for the day bell, a little bell or saunse bell on the W. part outside,
and a vane on the S.W. pinnacle.

There were battlements with a gutter and spout at the top of the tower,
and above rose a steeple. In the construction of the steeple the staves
of 33 wine pipes (367) were used to lay under the lead. There were
louvre windows and weather doors in the steeple. On the top was a
weather cock made by the tinker out of 211bs. of brass.

The Belfry was approached by a stair under which the sexton kept
his " necessaries belonging to the church." The floor of the belfry was
made of grave stones, it had a loft and was fitted with a rail to hang the
ringers' hats and cloaks on. It had after a time windows, and a door
at the top of the stairs. The parishioners in 1619 granted a benevolence
towards the building of the "ringinge laughte," and the good wives,
maids, and young men subscribed to the painting of it. In 1622 the
churchwardens at a cost of 3d. placed a box in the ringing loft for the
ringers' benevolence towards the maintenance of the bells, but so far
as appears by these accounts the results were not such as to recoup
them for this outlay.

The Clockhouse was frequently repaired, and a dial in the church was
connected by rods with it. The clock or horeloge had a peyse, rope, and
roller, and above the dial was a spread eagle, which was subsequently
sold (199). There was a little bell for the jack of the clockhouse.

Repairing the Bells formed one of the most constant charges in the
accounts. With the exception of Henry Penker or Pynker, who cast the
bells in 1494, the names of the Salisbury Bellfounders are all given by
Lukis. Besides the usual numbers applied to the bells there was at St.
Edmund's the name of " Walter Dawbeny " and at St. Thomas's of
" Cole Taylor" given to two of the bells. There are also mentioned the
great bell, the tenor bell, the little bell, the jack bell, the sexton's bell,
the pancake bell, the 5 a.m. or day bell, the 6 a.m. or prayer bell, and the
7 p.m. bell, or continuation of the curfew, the little bell of the morrow
mass altar and other sacring or sausom bells. The bells were cast at
the founders, probably in Culver or Bell Founder street, and were drawn
there on a sled. Their weight was given before and after casting, and
any extra metal was paid for, or if there were any " brass remaining of
the yote"* it was allowed for by the founder. The dust turnings when

* The word yote is also used in St. Thomas's accounts where in liauging a
door we read of leatl for yottinof in the hooks of the door,

XXVll

the bell was tuned were also sold. The great bell weighed in 1603,
29911bs., the oth bell 23191bs., and the 2nd bell lOGGlbs. The following
parts of bells are repaired or replaced : — The frame, pillows, bolsters,
chairs, bolts, locks, trussing keys, trussing nails, spraggs, and wedges ;
the brasses on which the gudgeons played ; the the gudgeons and jen-
nettes; the culvertail, clacks and pollets. The bell wclys are repaired
in 1550, but no mention is made as to the form of wheel. In 1630 it
was a f wheel, and was repaired with a hoop of iron by the cooper, and
new stays and spokes. The stock, collar of the stock, bolts, bands,
couples, strops, scr^-pes, staples, and cotterells. are all replaced.

The Bell-ropes, varying from 21 to 281bs. each, stirrups, an iron crook
in the belfry to hang the ropes of the bells on, boxes for the ropes to
run in and a roller to keep them from fretting are all bought, ^^^len
the canon of the third bell was broken off, the crown had to be bored
through, and there was a clamp to hold the crown of the great bell.
The clapper was attached by a bawdrick or thong of white Hungary
leather which passed through the eye of the clapper and the staple of
the bell ; buckles for the clapper were sometimes bought, and the baw-
dricks grafted ; the bowl of the clapper had to be repaired or altered in
weight; and a new eye and stem to a clapper was on one occasion bought
and warranted for a j-ear and a day. A chipper was hired for a burial
(310). but as the clapper of the great bell was broken that year, it may
not have been a '* clapper" carried before the bier, but one for the bell.
YoUe, lard and tallow were used to lubricate the bells ; and in the winter
tallow candles were bought to light the belfry for the 5 a.m. and 7 p.m.
ringing, "the prayer bell" ringing, as it was called at St. Thomas's.

When the bells were cast or ' hawnsed' they were raised into the tower
by the treading wheel; the cable used was hired from the Cathedral, and
the pulleys from ^Yilton.

The occasions on which the bells were rung, and for which the church-
wardens paid the ringers, are many of them very curious. There was
ringing 'to sermon' and on *' ffeastifull dayes in the morning" (311);
Ascension, Pentecost, the Feasts of our Lord God and Easter; also at
the Christmas holidays and at Candlemas, when the candles for the year
were bought and hallowed. The bells were ordered to be rung by the
Mayor when any important personage passed through the town ; in 1552
for the King's Grace Edward VI. on his way to Wilton, in ^1576 for
Elizabeth, in 1585 for the King of Portingalle, in 1605 for James I., in
1610 for the Prince of Brunswick, in 1646 when Sir Thomas Fairfax
came through the town with his great guns ; and in 1665 for the Tuskie
Prince (Cosmo Grand Duke of Tuscany). On the other hand it was
sometimes dangerous to omit ringing, the Marshal General of Lord
George Goriug's Army fined the churchwardens 10s. for not ringing
when he passed through.

Many national events were published in this way — King Henry VIII. 's
burial; Mary's accession; the anniversaries of Elizabeth's gracious
reign ; her escape from the Babington conspiracy ; and the beheading
of Mary Queen of Scots (206); the triumphing day in 1592 for the great
victory agains't the Spaniards liy the mighty hand of God (297); the
triumph in Ireland in 1601 ; the escape of James I. 1608 ; Gowries'

c2

XXVlll

treason, commemorated on 5tb August, 1609 ; the gunpowder treason
of the papists; on the safe return of the Prince in 1622 from Spain,
and again when the news came that the match was broken off between
the Prince and the Infanta of Spain, the bells expressed the popular
feeling of the time. Four lynkes, three staff torches and candles were
provided "at the chaunge of the Queens majesties reigne of the Xlllth
yeare, and seven ringers were engaged at that solempuitie."

Local events were also in the same way announced from the steeple ;
the bells were rung for the Whitsun daunce, the weavers' feast, the
choosing of the Knights of the Shire in 1685, in 1585 for the race,
and in 1646 on the Piace day when the Earl of Pembroke's horse won
the cup. The races had existed for many years, but were remodelled in
1645, when Lord Pembroke merged his Golden Bell into the Cup after-
wards competed for.

The ringers it would seem were in the habit of importuning the
congregation for tips "to the annoyance of the parishioners,"' and their
salaries were raised from 12s. to 18s. on condition that they would
forbear begging of any one in future. The Clerk and the Sexton were
apparently given to similar practices and were ordered to retire to the
vestry after the celebration, and not wait about the doors to collect
money.

When St. Thomas's bells were recast in 1661 Wm. Purdew undertook
" to make a verrij compleat and tunable Piinge of six bells to the note
of St, Edmund's six bells or within a q'ter of a note.'" The chimes at
St. Thomas's and the Jack required frequent repair. New rods, staff,
stick and keys, hammers, vone, payzes, gyune, eyes, wires, spring, pollet,
cable, and roller are charged for.

The Nave like the choir had two side aisles, with a triple roof, which
was slated and ceiled. A copper lamp hung from the roof by a cord.
There was a great west window, which in later times was curtained with
green serge (218), and a gi-eat west door, over which a gallery, as has
been said, was erected when the font was removed. The font, which
still exists, is of great size, and required ^cwt. of lead to mend it. It
was provided with a proper cover.

The south porch was secured by a vectis which could be locked, and
through it entrance to the church was gained by the ' wedding door.'
It was a two-storey porch with windows, and Todd the brewer was buried
in it. The upper room or parvyse was the sexton's chamber, and was
reached by a vyse or spiral staircase, at the top of which was a door on
to the leads secured by a ' hanging' lock, while the door at the bottom
of the stair had a ' stock' lock, and the church door had in 1478 a
' padlock and thruste bar,' another had a frog lock, hasps and staples,
and the vestry a ' hart lock' (323). Over the wedding door was a gallery
for the Free School (1636), and there was a draught screen or "paling ex
utraque parte portici eeclesiae,^' with doors in it that locked.

The Holy water stoup stood near the South door, and the bucket for
filling it required frequent hooping and repair. The aisles were paved
with tombstones.

There was at St. Edmund's a " dexe to read the littanie upon." The
pulpit used to be the place from which the parish priest rehearsed the

bede-roll, but when preachers were established iu every parish, aiiJ wheu,
at the expense of ceremonial, preaching took a more important place iu
the service, the pulpit was (1598) enlarged, and had a tester, canopy,
and valence ; it had also a cushion stutfed with flocks, fringed and
tasseled, and a pulpit cloth which in 1651 was considered by some of
the congregation to be of an offensive colour, and was forborne to be laid.
There was an hour glass standing in an iron frame on the bible-desk.

At St. Thomas's a Litany desk was put up in 1500 : but the word
desk was also used for the stool the Priest knelt upon. A Lecture seat
is mentioned. A '* powlpete chochinge" was here too an important
piece of furniture ; it was covered with satin and a board had to be put
on the pulpit to support it. There was a ' top' to the pulpit, which was
carried in 1G29 to our Lady Church. In 1602 the proclamation and
table were written up beside the pulpit.

At St. Edmund's the nave had to be strengthened by three buttresses,
which were put up by contract by Thomas Foot the freemason ; he did
his work honestly, but it proved a ' hard bargain," and the church-
wardens allowed him £3 more. When the tower fell the whole nave
was pulled down.

The walls were pargetted, and outside they were defended * from
weather inconvenient' bv casting and strawing on them rubrish from the
lime pits, or as it is termed at St. Thomas's by ' rowcasting.' A cement
was used of lime, sand, and smith's dust for soddering the font stone,
and the church was pointed with plaster of Paris, which was always
freshly burned with coals before use.

The Nave had chapels, altars, and lights, the chapels being separated
from the body of the church by a perclose.

Organs. — A pair of organs is spoken of in the same way as a pair of
bellows, and the earliest mention of the ergans at St. Edmund's occurs
in 1475. It is probable that this organ consisted of a single row of pipes,
and that it was used chiefly to pitch the notes and keep the singers in
tune ; consequently we have no record of any organist being employed,
and it is certain that it must have been a very simple instrument,
since the repairs " at divers times" only amounted to lOd.

In 1517 new organs were built at a cost of £16, and fifty years later
a still more ambitious instrument was constructed. When postage was
unknown it was usual to send horse messengers to Bristol (68 J, Taunton
(69), Winchester (148). Hindon (72). Andover (112), Chilmark (112),
London or wherever the business of the parish required. On this occa-
sion a horse messenger was paid 5s. to carry a letter to Hugh Chap-
lington, the organ maker of South Molton (75), inviting him to build an
organ, which he agreed to do and received xii*^ as an earnest, lie
began the work on August 22nd. 1567, and finished it on November
6th of the same year. The various parts were all made on the spot, and
the number of white wine casks to make the pipes, the quantity of elm
board for the bellows, syllinge board, wainscote, of lead, tin. tin-glass,
Jean-fustyan, pamphyllon. Hungary leather, calves' skins, sheep's skins,
glue, brown paper, wire, pack thread, nails, Sec, are all given at page
113, as are also the sums paid for bice, gold, synyper lake, brasell,
and other colours used iu its decoration. The builder received for
making this organ a fee of £12, and 20b. more was ordered by tho

XXX

masters to be paid him as a reward ; the materials cost £22 12s. lOd.
For this great organ it was necessary to appoint a professional organist,
and Thomas " Blewatt" was engaged at a salary of £8, and a seat
was erected and surrounded by curtains on which ''Bluet" might sit
and play.

The " little organs" were not got rid of when this new organ was
built, but were still kept in repair.

The organ of St. Edmund's is not without some degree of interest in
the history of music —

Harry Avliose tuneful aud well measured song
First taught our Euglish Music how to sijan
Words witli just note and accent,*

was the nephew of the Rector of St. Edmund's.

In 1568 St. Thomas' Church had a similar organ built by the same
builder at almost the same cost, ^1^35 5s. 6d. When a later organ was
built for this church in 1738 a Musical Meeting, and an Ordinary
attended by 100 gentlemen, was held at the Mitre (353) — a device for
raising the money (£230) in which we may trace the germ of the modern
hospital or charity dinner.

The Vestry of St. Edmund's appears to have been adapted from the
Chapel of St. Catherine, at least the altar in the vestry was pulled down
(99). It was a two-storey building, the upper floor being the Treasury
House or High Vestry, which was strewn with rushes. The coffer for
the registry books was kept here, and like all coffers that the church
possessed with more than one lock, it was apt to require ripping open
from time to time, when the rector or either of the churchwardens hap-
pened to mislay a key. Coal and Frankinseuce were used to air the
vestry, probably in the time of the plague. The Vestry was moved to
the upper end of the choir, and the clerk was allowed to have the old
vestry for a house and school. The furniture of a vestry in 1688 was a
new press for ye vestments, a wainscot cubbert, six new Rushey Lether
chairs, a pair of Iron dogges, a pair of tongs and fire shovel, a pair of
angirons and 1 pair of brass candlesticks, a new box, a new trunk, and 2
Acts of Parliament, 1 for highways and 1 for ye poore.

There was a Storehouse in which the "loose ends of timber" and
all material belonging to the church were kept. The minister in 1609
was allowed the use of part of it for a school, so that he might move
his school out of the church. The walls were " braided," and when the
school ceased to be kept in the storehouse the sexton was allowed to set
up a loom in it. The lead which always formed an important item
in church repairs was kept in the plummery, the gutters and pipes being
cast on the spot. It was in " Sows and pigs," the main channel into
which it was run when melted, with a row of secondary channels at each
side, bearing a fanciful resemblance to a sow suckling pigs. Collections
or benevolences of lead, as has been said, were sometimes made in kind
for church use.

The Sexton's House adjoined the clerk's garden, into which he was
allowed to make a door, in order to use the clerk's well, provided he
did no prejudice to the clerk's vine or fruit trees. The house had how-

* Milton, Sonnet xiii.

ever a garden of its own and (241) when the sexton died his widow
was allowed to retain two rooms and part of the garden. At St, Thomas's
Widow Jeffrey (343) for a time filled the office of sexton.

The Workhouse is mentioned in 1478, when an interclose was made
in it, and repairs occur from time to time.

The churchyard, Litton, or Cymiterium was entered by a Lychgate
and the way before the lychgate (363) was mended as early as 1476. A
wall passed from the lychgate to the provost's gate (30), and we learn
that an arched porch led into the vestry (235). A style and a whirligog
(365) are mentioned, both of which had iregere or iron gear, a bolt,
lock, and key. There were also a gate and 3 doors, one of which required
a pillar and 3 paramades to be turned for its repair. The path to the
porch was paved ; the wall of the litton was built of wattle and mud
(165), and carts were kept back from it by standing-posts. A ditch was
dug and the earth thrown up to form a rampart around the town from
city-gate to city-gate. This passed across the Greencroft and College
grounds and down by the north side of the church to the river ; not
being a natural waterway there is a constant charge for " casting the
river against the church wall" or " rydding the ditch," and for repairs
to the church hatches at the low^er end of the litton. The highways
and water-banks in Beden Row were also frequently ordered to be
repaired. Those injuring the churchyard were presented at law (241),
but at one time it became the custom to drive carts and wagons through
the churchyard and the cart entrance was narrowed so as only to admit
a corpse (218). Among the trees planted were 16 English elms at
2s. 6d. and 3 sycamores at 3s. ' Cepis' were put round trees to defend
them from cattle. Joistment cattle were a source of annoyance to the
St. Edmund's Church Wardens, coming sometimes into the porch and
even into the church itself. There were frequent difficulties about
ownership of the churchyard, from the church property so far as it was
collegiate having passed by Act of Parliament to Henry VIII. ; it re-
mained in the Crown until 7 James I., when it passed through several
hands and was ultimately conveyed to the parishioners, reserving the
churchyard, ditch, and wall. It will be seen that this reservation gave
rise to endless suits (95) and ultimately the churchwardens determined
to grant a fresh lease of the churchyard (l'J3), empound the cattle and
proceed by ejectment to try their title. Seventy years before, the Church-
wardens had to pay 26s. 8d. for one of the lessee's cows that apparently
escaped and died in the Pound (105).

Besides keeping the fences, gates and paths, it was the Churchwardens'
duty to keep the Litton free from weeds (361) or nettles, and ale is given
and money paid to men for pulling these up, weeding divers anoysance,
or cleaning nocumeuta about the church (362). At St. Thomas's, where
houses adjoined, it was necessary to restrain the neighbours from making
sinks and gutters in the churchyard. Even the roof was invaded, and
Wool was ordered not to be dyed on the leads of the church (325).

In 1474 as has been said the Litton of St. Edmund's was polluted
(18), and a messenger was sent to get the SulTragan to rohallow it.

The Churchyard of St. Thomas's Parish was closed for seven years,
and the level gradually lowered by removing a " half foot kerfe" yearly,
and conveying it to the Cathedral yard (352). During this period in-
terments took place at the Cathedral.

XXXll

There was a Skull house at St. Thomas's, which after the visit of the
Commissiouers in 1687 was ordered to he emptied and repaired.

St. Edmund's Fair was held in and around the churchyard, where
stalls or standings were let to cheesemen, butchers, tanners, and divers
other craftsmen. A similar fair, St. Mary's Fair, was held within the
Cathedral precincts, and the nails required for the year appear to have
been bought at this fair (95). These nails are usually described ac-
cording to their price per 100, j;ro clavis vocatis threepenny nails (46),
sixpenny nails, or teupenny nails, while larger ones called '•'double
tens" (168) were sold retail at four a penny, the price per 1000 being
cheaper (98). There were also " strok nails" for the door (299). These
fairs were probably survivals of the time when traders pitched their wares
in churchyards, and claimed the protection of the Church to exempt
them from toll and stallage due to the local authorities.

The charges for repairs at St. Thomas's are much the same as those
at St. Edmund's, and from them we learn that it consisted of a Nave
with a North and South Aisle, a Choir with a Lady Aisle, the Tailors
Light in Swayne's Chantry in St. John's Aisle, Penruddocke Chapel, a
rood beam and later a rood loft, which was taken down in 1561. There
was a trendel over the porch ; Moyse's tables and the Queen's Arms
adorned the choir, and " Scripture was written up" in the church and
porch. There were steps leading up from the nave to the choir close
to the Masters' pew ; the Serjeants' seats were provided with a crook
and loop, and mace frame, to display the insignia of office. In the east
window was a representation of the Creation, from which the figure of
the Father was removed by Mr. Subdean's orders. There were forms for
the poor, and two seats under the wall for the charity children. There
were sundials on the south and west sides of the tower, a gilded vane and
a weathercock. A hole allowed the bells to be lowered through the belfry
for repair. The ' sansom bell' had a 'chayne,'the other bells had ropes,
and there was a hand-bell or "clapper" Avhich was lent for burials.

Smoke-farthing's, Smoke-silver, and Pentecostals are in these
accounts synonymous.

A tax of Id. on each hearth was collected from Saxon times on
St. Peter's Day and sent to support the English College in Rome, hence
its name Rome-scot or Peter-pence,* The share required of the diocese
of Sarum in the 13th century was £7, and of this the contribution
paid by St. Edmund's as " our offering at Our Lady Church, for olde
custom," was 5s. O^d., and by St. Thomas's 6s. 8d. The tax had been
forbidden by Edward III., and its first occurrence in these accounts is in
1510. It was diverted from Rome by Henry YIII. in 1534, but restored
by Mary in 1556. From that time onwards it will be found continued
as Pentecostals. The sum collected was usually less than the amount
paid, and the difference M'as charged in the accounts. In early times
it was taken to the Cathedral by a procession, but latterly was paid
to the sumner (79), subdean's man (125) or the parritor (294), by the
officials of each church.

Observance and Labour.— A curious entry occurs in 1491 of a
reward given among six young men doing observance and labour in the

* Blount's Fragmenta Autiquitatis, p. 317. Miucliiuhamptou C. W. Accounts,
1575, "peter pence or smoke-fartliiugs sometime due to the Antichrist of roome."

XXXlll

week of Christmas from the Church of St. Edmund to Our Lady
Church. The reward consisted of Id. paid for pyn'ys. ' Points and
pins' were used as rewards, and were played for by children." There
are several entries of sums paid in this way to the children after the
perambulations at Rogation tide. The observance may have been in
connection with the creche, or the torchlight processions to the Cathedral
in Christmas week held by the Mayoress and Mistresses in memory of
Beauchamp .

Stipendiary noble or Priest tenth.— Under this title Gs. 8d. is
paid in 1582. In many of the earlier accounts Gs. is a usual payment
to the parish priest ' for the prayers of the bede roll.' In lo95 the
" curattes stypendaries" are 15s. (301).

From very early times the Churchwardens appear to have taken means
to guard the church and parish against loss by fire. Buckets of leather
were frequently repaired and occasionally a dozen new ones were bought.
As these were used at any fire in the neighbourhood they were marked
so as to be easily identified afterwards. These buckets were used when
Wilton House was burnt. In later times a Hydrant (iurrant) and
Fire Eng-ines were bought (349).

Clap-nets for sparrows were also kept and lent, but no head-money
is paid for vermin destroyed. There were always tools to be bought
and paid for every year, as well as other useful articles required for
the church. Borrirs (20G). handsaws, wimbells, bits, hatchets, ham-
mers, pyaxcs, and " long besomes to strike down the wevet" were
constantly in demand and bought, while pulleys and large cables were
borrowed either from the Cathedral or from some other church.

The rates of Wages will be seen to have increased steadily during the
last four hundred years, even when allowance has been made for the
difference in the value of money. In 1450 the helyer was paid 6d. a
day, and this was the usual wage paid to skilled labourers, such as
masons, carpenters, &c., although less was sometimes given ; the man
who served them received 4d., and sons or apprentices about the same.
In 1550 a plummer had Is. 3d. a day, a carpenter lOd., his prentys 8d.,
and his labourer 6d. In 1G50 a mason's wages had risen to Is. 4d. a
day and his boy's to lOd., besides Id. a day drink-money.

The prices of material have similarly greatly altered in the same
time. In 1450 tiles were Gs. 8d. per 1000, crests Is. Gd. a dozen, slates
from Chilmark Is. 8d. a load, tile pins 8d. a bushel, stone lime Is. 2d. a
quarter, hair Is. 5d. a peck, lead Gs. per cwt., tin 3d. per lb., tar Is. per
gallon, glass 3d. per foot, solder 8d. per lb., glue 4d. per lb., oil 4d. a
pint. Ale cost Is. Gd. per covil. Coals (charcoal) in 1511 were 4d. a
sack. In 1546 a coarse cloth called Oscon brigges cost 4d. a yard ; it
was made at Osnaburg and was used for a lenten veil. Three nails of
Tartersaten cost xiiii*^, and this was used for mending a vestment called
' gratys' (35). A piece of Bawdekyne for making children's tenables cost
12s., and Cresecloth for lining them cost 5d. an ell (37). Of Dornex,
inferior Tournay damask bought for a pall, Scndal, a fine linen and silk
stuff used for pyx-palls (373), Dowle, a coarse cloth made in Picardy,
and Satiu-a-Brydges, which came from Bruges, the prices are unfortu-
nately not given. In 1556 sewing crewels cost Gs. per lb., ferret silk

* Herrick's Hesperidcs, p. 113 (1891).

XXXIV

Is. 3d. an ounce, Lockram, a coarse linen cloth made in Brittany,
Is. 3d. an ell; a cloth of Stamen, or tammy, cost 8s., and Flemish cloth
7d. per ell (371). A quire of Royal paper cost lOd., and Spanish iron
was Ijd. per lb.

The board of the Deacon at the Saracen's Head was Is. 7d. per week.

The first notice of standard weights and measures appears in
1587, when a proclamation and table were issued.

Nonsenehes, Vails, or little extra payments entered very largely into
the rewards for services of all kinds. There were nouesenches to diverse
labourers (15), 2d. to the bellfouuder's boy, nometes ^d. a day for the
heliers, ' none metys ' for the carpenters, drinks at no'thyde, and
' morning beverages.' In Wiltshire at the present time the agricultural
labourer rests his horses and sits down under the hedge at mid-day to
take his "nammit," or noonmeat. In the gang week the ringers and
banner bearers had their ale ; and so had the men and women that
gathered at Hoctyde ; masters in the vestry sent for wine and cake when
My Lord Bishop was here first (99) ; for bread and cheese and ale when
the steeple was pulled down ; ale for the masters on the County day
(98) ; for cakes and wine when Sir Giles gave the churchyard (208) ;
the singing men and quyrysters of Jesus Mass (268) had figs and drink
in Lent after the salve, and the clerk that sang the Gospel in Holy
Week had his ale. The ringers and the clerk were on the outlook for
tips on all occasions, so that they were occasionally politely requested
to keep out of the way (352) ; the sexton and his boy had a pair of
shoes ; his wife and two children had black frise to make them gowns
when they took great pains to keep the church and the lamp clean ; the
curate claimed his livery (297) and the minister "challenged" a gown
or 10s. 6d. (308) when Master Mayor was not of the parish ; the boy
that sang in the choir had a fustian coat and pair of breeches (292),
and the curate's son was similarly rewarded (295) ; the clerk had his
"day of collection," and he stipulated that he should be allow^ed to
choose his own day, his experience having taught him that some days
w^ere better than others ; but it Avas not till 1665 that the Ringers had
"tobacko and pipes" (240) added to the beer; and in 1667 the same
luxuries were supplied " when the vestry mett" (343).

Law Expenses. — Many curious items will be found of " costis spente
in the lawe." In 1523 an executor was slow to hand over "the moldes
that Myllys gave to the church" (68), and consequently the Chapter
Clerk had twice to be engaged as proctor for the church, for which he
was paid a single fee of 3s. 4d. 8d. was charged for a copy of the tes-
tament, 4d. for sealing ' the Inibition,' 14d. for the absolucyon of John
Millis, 4d. for the answer of the church, and 2s. 4d. to brynge Jone
Myles before Mr. Chawncellar. The costs of the suit were 9s. 2d. Costs
in the Nisi Prius Court were equally moderate (81), the return of the
writ was 2s., the recording 6s. 8d., the clerk of assize 2s., the marshall
2s., the crier Is., the clerk of assize for recording of the jury by
default 2s., the crier 4d., wine at Henry Colstone's 3s. 8d., the attorney
8s. 6d., and Master Yorke 6s. 8d.

In 1551 John Beckingham illegally took down the trees in the church-
yard, and the plaintifis in the suit seem to have been the churchwardens
not the rector ; at least Mr. Hopper is described as our attorney, and he

XXXV

received a fee of 20s., but this was unfortunately for him at a time when
" the shiUing came to ninepence" (95).

The churchwardens always appear to have been willing to settle suits
pending " by a frendlie composition if it male be reasonablie done, how-
soever our title be conceyved to be good, and that we maye prevayle by
suite of Lawe" (187).

The Queen's silver for the Mynister (302) in 1596 was 13s. 8d.,
but for the levying of what fine this was paid does not appear.

The parator summoned those who refused to pay their rates not in the
civil but in the ecclesiastical courts (317), and the Bidle carried ofl" and
praised the " Strained goods" (232) of those who were " put in suit."
Arresting John Mace cost 12d. (154), but we are not told why he was
arrested. There were also certain petty expenses of a quasi legal cha-
racter, such as red wax " for divers munymentes and evidences to be
sealed."

A Herald's pursuivant received the modest fee of 6d., but the nature
of the ser\'ice performed is not mentioned ; the 6d. paid, page 103, was
probably for examining the correctness of the royal arms "flourished"
in the church.

Receipts were not demanded in early times as a right, and if required
there is an extra charge paid, "quittance for the subsidee 4d." (295).

Poor Relief.

After the suppression of the religious houses the voluntaiy contribu-
tions to the "poor man's box" were insufficient to meet the calls upon
it. Parish funds were collected by a rate and " a poor book" was drawn
up, containing a list of those in receipt of relief. Besides these the
Justices appear in 1570 to have sent casual poor to the churchwardens
who thereupon gave relief "by the Mayor's commandment," "assign-
ment," or " allowance," and sometimes " at the entreaty" of the Rector.
Among the sums thus paid occurs to "Father Coxe at his Wife's burial
3s. 4d.," in 1571, and " for the shroud and burial of a poor soldier 3s."'
in 1588. Distressed " Passengers" who had " passes to travel and
asked relief " were constantly assisted, and their claims to compassion
are duly set forth. A poor woman who was a preacher's wife, and had
13 children ; an Irish gent; a poor Irish lad}'. Lady Tracy ; an Irish
doctor's widow; a shipwrecked Welshman, and others who " had great
loss by sea ;" the Dean of York's daughter ; a poor distressed man
taken by the Dunkerkes; a mad gentlewoman; one Thomson sick in
the small-pox and his wife near her travail ; two outlandish distressed
gentlemen ; a poor German minister ; captives redeemed from pirates,
or from slavery ; are among the objects of charity sent to the church-
wardens.

The demands on the church funds became so serious that in 1636
an order was made that no churchwarden should give any church
money out of the church stock by way of relief "either upon his own
head" or by direction of any other person, but the overseers of the
poor were to be recouped out of the poor box for what they had given to
the poor.

Profane swearing sometimes swelled the receipts for the poor ; Joseph
Goddard, of West Harliug, Essex, was fined £7 13s. 4d. in 1651 for

XXXVl

this offence. lu the same way money spent in customary hospitality on.
the signing of legal documents was sometimes given to the poor instead
of being spent in "cakes and wine" (836).

Highway expenses enter systematically into the accounts from 1632,
and were met by a rate in 1690, this amounted to 2d. in the ^1 on the
assessment of the Land Tax granted to their present Majesties. A list
of surveyors was made at a parish meeting and the Mayor and Justices
chose officers from it at special sessions.

Changes in the Church Services and discipline are easily traced in
this volume. A pre-reformation revival is evident at the opening of these
accounts, and was due to the efforts of Bishop Beauchamp to remove
from the church that condition of things against which Lollardism was
an active protest. One means adopted by him w^as the canonization of
St. Osmund ; for the observance of this festival on 17th July a special
indulgence was granted ; the History of St. Osmund was bought in 1475
and read to the people to stir them up to give oblations and avail them-
selves of this pardon.

In Henry Vni.'s reign the changes that took place were more political
than doctrinal ; the six Articles left the main points of Catholic belief
untouched. The Italian Bishop of Salisbury who was intended to help
Henry politically having failed him, Shaxton was appointed in 1535 to
supersede Campeggio. The " Bill to the Bishop" will be found entered,
and in the same account the Churchwardens did what was expected of
them at a time when ready money was very scarce, and gave 2s. to the
" Queen's servants" who accompanied Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII. to
Salisbury. The changes most observable are the gradual substitution of
the vernacular in the service, the purchase of a Bible, and " the putting
out the three crowns of Pope Gregory," which were designed as blows
rather directed against Roman language and Roman iniiuence, while
doctrine and ritual practically remained untouched.

With the injunctions of Edward VI. came however the evidence of
a complete change of teaching ; images are broken down, pictures,
altars, vestments, and plate are removed ; the church whitelimed ;
masses and obits are abolished; the former books are supplanted by an
omyle book, an ordinal and the new communion book ; all the old books
are sent to our Lady Church ; a glass and plate are bought for the
communion and the communicants are seated on " forms" around the
" communion board." The elements were administered in both kinds,
but by whom they were supplied at this time does not appear, and the
labour of celebrating (after the abolition of chantry priests) when the
communicants at St. Edmund's numbered more than 1700, and at St.
Thomas's 1650, must have been very severe. The expense was probably
met by the Holy loaf cantelL* Later wine, and the " singing bread"
or " serving bread" are charged in the accounts.

Under Mary in 1553 mass books, manuals, portys, hymnary, anti-
phonar, and Grayle returned for a brief period, paper and ink were
bought to make a new song for the Salve, and drink was provided for the
singing men who sang it on the five Sundays in Lent ; the altar, the
font taper, the pascal, a latten ship and holy water pot, the first mass

* See pages 187 and 198 as to holy loaf tip to 1633, and 252 as to singing bread
and wine for Jesus Mass.

XXXVll

altar, the saunce bell, cross, vestments, and sepulchre were all restored,
and their cost will be found in these pages.

Then with Elizabeth came a return to the middle way of Henry VIII.,
the Act of Uniformity in 1559 enforced the 2nd Prayer-Book of Edward YI,
" John Atkyns and a mate" carried the Latin books to our Lady Church
once more, and a book of the Homilies and two little psalm books were-
bought. By the Injunctions each parish had to provide one copy of
Udal's translation of the Paraphrases of Erasmus on the Gospel and
Acts, to be placed in the nave of the church, and each clergyman had to
provide another copy for his own use in the choir. The Churchwardens
of St. Thomas's paid 13s. 4d. for the book, but those of St. Edmund's,
rendered cautious by the frequent changes they had seen, were content
to pay 18d. on two occasions " for the loan of a book called the
Pharasyres."

After the dissolution of the religious houses preaching sank to a
low ebb, and in the time of Edward VI. and Elizabeth, special persons
were licensed as itinerant preachers, who practically took the place of
the predicant friars, and were in the habit of forcing their discourses
on any parish "as if they were apostles." In many of the accounts
Id. and 2d. will be found paid for " ringing to a sermon," and money
is also paid to the preacher. It was not until later that a sermon came
to be expected as a regular part of the service. In 1602 it was stipulated
that four sermons should be preached a year, and for these the usual
payment was 10s. (151, 1-54); while benefactors of a still later date
frequently endowed a sermon. When a sermon was preached at St.
Thomas's Church the St. Edmund's people apparently attended, for
they adjourned their vestry '' until to-morrow after evening prayer at
the end of the sermon at St. Thomas's Church." Very early in the
17th century the pulpits became much enlarged, and hour glasses and
cages were provided, an hour being the usual length of a sermon.

An unusual compliment will be found paid to the curate in 1725.
The vestry thanked him for his sermon preached at the opening of the
new Charity School, and desired that it should be printed at the charge
of the parish (353).

The gradual growth of puritanism can be clearly traced until we find
it culminating in the Recorder, Henry Sherfield, destroying a painted
window at St. Edmund's, which gave a representation of the Father in
the creation. He had received permission, if he chose, to substitute
plain for stained glass, but he preferred to break the window publicly
with his staff as a protest. For this he was imnished by the Star
Chamber, Laud, who though a disciplinarian, was strictly just, explain-
ing that although sacred art might be within its province in depicting
the humanity of Christ it could not be defended in an attempt to
represent the Father, yet granting this, nothing could justify contempt.
But it was a puritanical mind of the highest development which could
find fault with the colour of a pulpit cloth and direct that it be " for-
borne to be laid, for the colour is oftensive in the sight of some of the
parishioners." At St. Thomas's also, as has been said, the picture of
the Father in the east window was put out (291) in 1583 by Mr. Sub-
dean's commandment. In 1G32 the sum of lOd. was paid for " setting
on the chaines to ye Bookes of Martirs."

XXXVlll

Through the troubled period that followed we get glimpses from time
to time of the struggle that was going on. Mr. Thorpe in 1638 was
sent to London to retain a solicitor to defend the suit against the pastor
of St. Edmund's for refusing to pay first fruits. In 1642 a sj'stem of
collecting voluntary subscriptions for the pastor was adopted, but did
not seem to be successful, for next year the Mayor is to take the pains
to ride up to London to petition Parliament concerning some con-
venient way for raising of sufficient maintenance for the minister, and
to obtain a power of rating. His horse hire was 12s., and he was given
a free hand " to petition for anything that may conduce to the good of
the church and parish."

The sympathies of the Churchwardens in the Civil War were appa-
rently with the Parliament. When Lord Goriug's army passed through
the city from Portsmouth the bells were ominously silent (323), and the
" Martiall Gen'all" of the army demanded 10s. for the slight; but
when Sir Thomas Fairfax came through the towne with his greate
gunnes (216), and again later, when the news came that the castles and
forts had been delivered into the hands of the Parliament (216), the
bells rang out and the ringers were paid. Between this time and the
Restoration the Cathedral seems to have suffered more than the parochial
churches, which received each a small augmentation from the Commis-
sioners, and were offered facilities for acquiring their parsonages. When
the Act of Uniformity was passed St. Edmund's lost its minister. Mess.
Strickland did not conform and was "disabled from continuing Rector."
A later rector. Dr. Daniel Whitby (244) was indicted before Judge
Jeffreys, for certain pamphlets advocating toleration. Within the space
of a few lines on page 349 we find, " ringing when King James came
to town 10s.," " ringing when the Prince of Orange came to town 10s.,"
" ringing when King William was proclaimed 10s. ;" and in these items
we have a matter-of-fact record of the accomplishment of the Revolution.

There were certain practices connected with the celebration of the
Holy Communion which seem to deserve notice, in particular the
admission to communion by tokens (184). Each intending com-
municant on some day in the week preceding the celebration notified
his intention to the clerk and received a metal token. One halfpenny
was paid to the churchwardens at the time of receiving and giving back
the token ; these sums are entered as " halfpence for monthly com-
munion." A steel die was bought j'^early and the tokens were struck at
Easter for this purpose, sometimes in brass and sometimes in lead. In
1660 those rated to the poor in St. Edmund's that could afford it were
to pay 2d. when they sent to the clerk's house for their tokens, and the
clerk kept a list of their names. Iq St. Thomas's, a man rated to the
poor in 1663 had to pay for himself, wife, children, apprentices, " fit to
use the sacrament," a groat apiece, besides a convenient allowance for
bread and wine.*

A curious practice, difficult now to realise, soems to have existed of
giving a superior wine in the celebration to the masters and mistresses

* The Tokyn-giPdles frequently moutioncd in early accounts had nothing to
do with tokens, hut were " cing-ula" or " zonae ad vestinienta," tuckint^ girdh'S for
gathering the alh at the waist, and the " box to gery tokens" referred to these and
not to communion tokens (374).

XXXIX

(288), 2s. 4d. worth of muskodel being bought for their use, and 22s. 9d.
worth of claret or sack for the humbler communicants. This seems to
have gone on for many years, but in 1029, with the Laudian revival in
Church discipline, we find a memorandum that the churchwardens are
not to provide any more claret, but muscadine only. There is no note
as to whether the masters and mistresses communicated at the same
hours as the parishioners generally.

It was a common custom in parishes where the communicants were
very numerous to divide the district into circuits, so that the celebrant
" should not be over toiled," and to take these in turn on separate Sun-
days ; whether the circuits described here had any such purpose does
not seem clear.

Visitations were periodically held by the Subdean, Bishop, and Arch-
bishop, at which presentments were made by the Churchwardens.

No mention of Confirmation occurs.

The Subdean by his Somner summoned his synodsmen or sydemen.
Early in the l-4th century twelve men worthy or confidence for St.
Edmund's on St. George the Martyr's day, and fifteen for St. Thomas'
parish on the Wednesday following, formed his court. To this court
presentments for perjury, defamation, neglect of the offices of religion,
violating the Sabbath, incontinence, or other breaches of the moral law
were made, and occasionally other matters, such as the removal of '' the
picture of the Father in ye East wiudowe" (294) were brought before
it. " Searching and viewing" the church appears to have been a
necessary ceremony on these occasions (79). "Million the peritour for
warning the syde men to Mr. subdene's visitacion" received 4d. (138)
and Gd. was paid " for the Articles at the visitacion of the sub dene's
visiting." " A bill" was prepared to be delivered to Mr. Subdean,
which cost 6d. for making (129), and a fee varying from a shilling to
one shilling and tenpence was paid " to the cleark for receiving our
presentment," with " 4d. to the parrator for giving tbe oath at the
visitacion" (14G, 148, 157).

After 16G2 four sidesmen appear to have been regularly appointed.

Bishop's Visitation (1G5), the parator for warning the churchwardens,
the prator for warning (147), or the Somner (75), for bringing his presses
(132) for the sidmeu to appeare at y" Bushopes visitation (141) Gd. A
fee of Is. lOd. on delivering up the " bill of presentment at the visitation
courte" (147) was paid to the officers who received it (165). The ringers
were remembered '' when my Lord Bishoppe whent his visitation," and
in the case of a new Bishop the Chutf-hwardens spent " 8d. for wyne
and cake when my lord bysbopp was here ffyrst" (99). Latterly they
charged their own personal expenses when attending visitations on a
more lavish scale, but a minute was passed in 1G92 giving los. as the
maximum to be spent by the Churchwardens at one visitation (244).

The Bishop saw that the arrangements of the church were in order;
he directed (1G62) the seats under the East window to be removed and
"the communion table with railes there decently placed," and that the
font be restored at the West end, and that none but parishioners " shall
have any interest iu any scales. "

The Archbishop's Visitation.— When my lord of Canterbury held
his courte either personally or by his Vicar-General the Churchwardens

xl

paid the charges for the articles and for the officers ; but here Mr.
official's charges were usually higher, for the apparator of an Archbishop
was a " gentleman apparator." When Laud held a visitation through
Sir Nathaniel Brent, his vicar-general, Cs. 8d. was the fee of the " Gent'
Apparator" (202) ; and 10s. was paid for "the order removinge ye
Organs, and reversing that order."

Besides these usual visitations presentments were made to the Court
Leet or to Special Commissioners, who occasioii.ally held enquiries in the
church, " at the George Inn" (82), or elsewhere.

In the course of these accounts there are many parts of the city
named which ai-e not now in existence. The Broad Gate, Milford Bars,
and the other gates are gone, but when the organs were built 6d. was
paid " for custom" at the gate. Beden or Beclredyn (53) Row was pro-
Ijably Bedwyn Street ; Water Lane and the Dyers Bridge were in Castle
Street ; Endle's Street is now corrupted into Endless Street, and is
almost the only street that has an end ; the Guildhall was then in
existence ; Wjmman Street was Milford Street ; Winchester Street ex-
tended to Castle Street ; Drakyn or Drake Hall Street is now Exeter
Street, and Fisher Row is mentioned. Culver Street was also called
Bellfounder Street, in 1318 it had been called Yottlebell Street ; and
Gygore Street is now Gigant Street. It is probable that the Workhouse
was in Brown Street, which then included Rollestone Street.

Many of the old Inns have disappeared ; among them the Blue Boar
which still gives its name to part of the Market Place ; the Three Lions,
the Griffin, the Lamb in Drakyn Street, the Antelope, the Saracen's
Head, the King's Head on Fisherton Bridge, the Blue Lion, the Dolphin,
the Greyhound, the Maidenhead, the Mitre, and the Cornish Chough.
The George Inn in High Street had a j-ard surrounded by galleries,
which was used for the representation of stage plays.

The Churchwardens were bound to provide all things necessary for
the service of the church, and many items occur which may be termed
Vestry Expenses. A quire of " Ryall" paper (99) and a standish (232),
pottlepots to measure the communion wine (206) and a tynnen bottle
to fetch it to church, christening oil and neljaig oil (91), holly and
greening at Christmas, links and great candles to light in church at the
entry of the Queen's Majesty at service time and sermon (287), and
innumerable similar charges may be classed in this way.

Many of these entries when they occur in the English language serve
to indicate the local pronunciation at the time. A " vadome" of rope,
new "reyelles for the powlpet steeres," a pecexe and shoule,the payment
to the ringers that rang " thyck" four days, or to the men who took
the borrowed ladder " whom" again, the cost of " elapses" for books, and
" hapses" for doors, all show that whatever else may have changed,
the Wiltshire dialect is much the same to-day as it was four hundred
years ago.

In conclusion, I beg to tender my grateful acknowledgments to the
Lord Bishop of the Diocese for a promised Foreword of Godspeed, and to
the Rev. R. H. Clutterbuck, F.S.A., Mr. E. Doran Webb, F.S.A., and
others, for their kindly counsel and guidance while preparing these
sheets for the press.

Four labels upon which are seals of green wax. In the centre a slit
cut for a label, but there is no appearance of one having been ever
affixed.

SECRETI."

2nd. Oval, l^in. x lin. Head and shoulders of an Ecclesiastic
praying. A hand with fingers extended towards him in benediction
from above, by the side of which is a star. " S' Roberti de Hawode."

3rd. Oval, Igin. x lin. Profile of a woman's head (from a Greek gem).
** S' Magri Helie de Derham."

4th. Triangular, top, l^in., sides, Ifin. The centre, (from a circular

hand, pointed downwards, and, perhaps, a standard behind him.

[The rest of this roll is the same as the one given previously [p. 44] which
was supposed by Mr. Hatcher to have been of the time of Henry VI.
This is evidently a rough diaft and there are a few variations. The receipt
of 40s. from Edward Dygon is said to be in full satisfaction of ^4. W.
Wync'tre's name is spelt ' Wynche', Chertor's ' Chartor,' and Edmund Benett
is called E. Taillor. In the Fair perquisites ' firmitoribus' is altered to
' frimitoribus.' In the payments for the gemowe, or hinge, dependenda in
parvo hostio &c. ' ponat' in parui hostii palee' and for pro emend' le stipit'
&c. is " sol' ij bz hominibus pro emendac' stipit' cum meremio le quarta."
Sawder is "Sowdir" rete is "rote." Tolfre is paid i5d "pro emendac'
stipit' de Magna Campana." See Niche is rightly given "Sci Nichi." The
book for which William George provided clasps at 8d is described as " pro
quodam libro vocato the gret Antifynere. There is also a curious entry
erased " Et in denariis solutis pro pane & victulibus ordindandis diuersis
m' [magistris] & parochianis die lune in festo Pasche vd Et — pro vna
mensura Carbonis in Vigilia Pasche apud benediccionem ignis jd" The
tenement purchased of J. Wexhalle, not Wexsall, is said to have been late
the property of William Kensyngtone id is paid to Pylde not Pyle James
but it is not stated for what. There are other small alterations in the grammar
and spelUng not always for the better. It gives however the missing conclusion

The following imperfect Accounts seem to have been written by or for

reign of Henry VHI., at the earliest, and ended sometime in the first half of
that of Queen Elizabeth.

I do not find any clue to their chronological order, and print them here,
though I think it is before their proper time, in consequence of Mr. Hatcher's
indorsements of them.

Rychard Rudge, one of the churchwardens, appears to have died during
his year of office. In the Journal Book there are two entries, both of the
date of April 21, 1553. The first states that W. Lobbe & R. Rudge had
made their account, and that they owed p^6 & i6d. The second that
Wyllyam Lobbe and John' Mylles, Church wardens, made their account, and
that the said William had paid this sum which he owed for 1552. " Also of
thys accompte for thys yere w*^*^ ys for the yere of o'' lord' god' mccccc ffyftie
and thre & of the same the owe xxxijs iijd 6b" which he also paid to John'
Mylles & Thomas Belly.

[On back'] "John Pearson acount 1632."
The oldest Vestry book now belonging to the Parish is marked No. 3, but
although there is a loose leaf with a memorandum of the passing of the
Account of Mr. John Banger, April 17, 1629, it seems to be the new book
which was ordered to be bought Oct. 16, 1630. The extracts which I shall
give will be denoted by 19". ^» The first minute of Vestry is dated January
7, 1631. " fforasmuch as this Church and the Tower thereof is growen in
very much decay and must of necessitie be repaired with all convenient
speede, about which a greate sum' of money must be employed, and forasmuch
as there is not any stocke of mony in store in the Church or in the Church-
wardens handes Jt is Ordered that a Rate and Taxe be set and jmposed vpon
all the Jnhabitantes of this Parish who are chargeable by Lawe to contribute
to the saide Reparacons And that the proporcon is and shalbe after the Rate

t Sic,

— of one yeres paym'i as the same is taxed in the cjuarter booke, as hath binne
aunciently vsed, But because one single Rate after that proporcon will not
suffice, — a double Rate — shalbe sett — And such persones as are able and
chargeable and are not in the quarter booke shalbe — Rated accordingly."

[*] Edmundes parish haue recei\cd wee may reckon the speciall providence of
God whereby wee the Parishoners and our familyes were saved from
Remarkeable and Jminent danger on the Sabbath day, being June the 26'^
one thousand six hundred fifty and three, when the Maior, and many other
principall Jnhabitantes of the Citty w*'^ a great Multitude of Godly Christianes
weer mett at [*] Edmundes Church for the Publique Worshipe of God The
walles of the Tower thereof were become ruinous, Broken, and (by the
vnwary attemptes of Some, who in order to Reparation had vncouered the
Roofe and vndermined some Pillars) onely not fallen The maine pillars
did bulge out, and sensiblely shake : the cleftes in the walles were seen
to open and shutt with Ringing the Sermon Bell y^ day neither weer
there any considerable Proppes vnder set to Support it, So y* nothing
but the very hand of God did keep the Stones and Timber from falling
vntill the next morning y* his one people were all Secure at home, and then
hee so sweetly Ordered the fall of the Tower y*^ (albeit many woorkemen were
about it y* day) neither Man, Woman, nor Child, received any hurt therby
When wee consider what God hath formerly permitted when the Tower in
Siloa fell f (t Luke ye 13:4:) And when the Church of Blake fryars in London
fell vpon a people mett as wee were for worship but in another Religion :
When we Apprehend what danger wee were in though not sensible of it at y*
time, how sad an outcry would have bine made (not in our Parish only, but)
in our Citty (like the great cry in Egypt f) (f Exodus the 13 : 30.) wher almost
every house would have suffered in the Death of so many if God had mingled
our Blood with our Sacrifices y^ day And when wee seriously recollect and
set before us all the circumstances of this our new salvation, wee cannot but
Breake foorth into Praise and say as [Revda : yc ig first) Salvation, and glory,
and honour, and Power vnto the Lord our God. And in a lively sense of the
Mercy desiring to perpetuate the memory of it vnto posterity y* so the Gene-
rations to come may prayse God as wee the living do this day. Wee doe
Order and Appoynt y* the twenty six day of June yearly shall bee unto the
people of [*] Edmundes parish a day of soleme and publique Thankesgiving
vnto God for the same And wee beseech our Brethren of this and the fol-
lowing Generationes by the Mercyes of God to present themselves living
sacrifices holy, acceptable vnto God (Romans ye 12 -. first) in ther reasonable
service of him, y* day as long as ther shall bee one stone vpon another in [*]
Edmundes Church and an Jnhabitant left alive in [*J Edmundes Parish. And
wee do farther Order y* either in the windowes or the walles or the Gates of
our new builded Church (if not in all of them) there bee made as shall bee
thought fit some Monuments of this late Deliverance. That our Walles may
mention the Salvation and our Gates the praise of the Lord" [Isaiah y^ 60 : 18).

Corrections, &c., from the Jornall Book.

[1473—4] /. 14. Besides some inaccuracies of minor importance such as
fountaper for fontaper, under the head of " Expenses necefsarye w'^ the costes
of the Stiple," awter, throughout should be anfer, instead of ' led/^r le C ' it
is prec' Line 11 read, " Jt' in the reward of j gown gevyn to the plu'mer of
covenant vjs viijd" and 13, " Jt' to the same William in partye of payment of
a olde dute of v marke for &c." The Seint S. omitted in the MS. is ' Su'day'
[i.e. Sunday] though I have no acquaintance with that saint, ids not lod is
the cost of the lathnails &c. read ' defautes of the glasyn' wyndows' Jt' in j
rejatie is ' in Jregare for the chapul dore' &c. and " It' in ij carpenters ther
worching in the grete bare \or base] tymber work, &c." The gri ^ of the
MS. is ' grees ' \i.e. steps] and it is right in " the reparacion of the copys ot
selke and other of chesepulles albis and avbys brokyn' and of albys and avbys
for children' &c." The S'ma should be " xxvj li ixs vd 6b" p. 16, line 3, " Jt'
in the makyng' of j pur of indents of the north Rode loft."

[1474—5] This can be corrected from the Roll, but insert before The
Maundy "S'ma of all' Receytes is xxij li xvs iijd."
