Book Description
From Elizabeth I's refoundation of the collegiate church to reforms and improvements attempted and achieved in the early years of James I's reign. The completion of Dr Knighton's edition of the first chapter minute book of Westminster Abbey records in detail Elizabeth I's refoundation of the collegiate church, including regulatio for preaching, the school and the library; the chapter's own housing is a continuing issue. Predominantly, however, the acts document the chapter's estate management: lease particulars shed light on the population of early modern Westminster and London. Favours sought by queen and courtiers are recorded, the exercise of the dean and chapter's ecclesiastical patronage is registered. At the end of the period the abbey was home to some of the most eminent churchmen and scholars of the day, Andrewes, Bancroft, Camden and Hakluyt among them. Reforms and improvements attempted and achieved in the early years of James I's reign conclude the volume. Index to both vols.CHARLES KNIGHTON gained his Ph.D. from Magdalene College, Cambridge.

First volume in the new Westminster Abbey Record Series, covering changes in Abbey ritual during the Reformation. This book is the first volume in a new venture, the Westminster Abbey Record Series, which aims to publish documents, calendars, lists and indexes from the Abbey's large and continuous archive of over a thousand years, making itscontents available both to scholars and to a wider interested public. This edition of the earliest Chapter Act Book of the Dean and Chapter is an essential source for the impact of the Reformation at Westminster. The years covered in this volume show the business of setting up a reformed cathedral; the administration of the Abbey's large estate is also well illustrated, including the relations with the powerful courtiers and politicians who were among the Abbey's tenants. Dr CHARLES KNIGHTON gained his Ph.D. from Magdalene College, Cambridge.

The Architects Buried or Memorialised in Westminster Abbey
Author : Tony Willoughby
Publisher : Paragon Publishing
Page : 34 pages
File Size : 13,32 MB
Release : 2020-06-27

ISBN : 1782227687
Book Description
This booklet catalogues in alphabetical order the architects buried and/or memorialised in the Abbey. Their names are accompanied by brief biographies identifying the high spots of their architectural careers. The Appendix is a plan of the Abbey marked up to show where their graves and/or memorials are to be found. Also included are Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor, neither of whom is buried or memorialised in the Abbey. They are deemed to qualify for entry solely because their contributions to the structure of the building are too significant to ignore and may be deemed to constitute their memorials. On the same basis, several of the medieval master masons responsible for the building and extension of Henry III’s church rate a brief mention at the end.
