Making Ends Meet: Yorkshire Nunneries in the Early Sixteenth Century
Taking most of her examples from Yorkshire and East Anglia, and drawing her evidence largely from the dissolution commissioners reports, Sybil Jack wrote an innovatory article in 1983 explaining how religious houses with annual incomes below £150 were contriving to exist financially in the early sixteenth century. This paper, which concentrates solely on the Yorkshire nunneries and is based on episcopal injunctions, court cases, wills and other r…
Thomas Water’s Circles of Prayer in Early Tudor York
Thomas Water led a seemingly uneventful life as an ecclesiastical lawyer in early sixteenth century York. What is extraordinary about him is the Latin will which he composed on 5 September 1539 four months before his death. At this period after dedicating their souls to God and very often paying for requiem masses testators normally concentrated on the disposition of their goods. The balance of Water’s will is quite different. With scarcely any r…
The Royal Supremacy in the Elizabethan Church
Originally published in 1969 this book considers the theoretical extent of the royal supremacy in the Elizabethan church and examines how far this supremacy was effective in practice. The first part considers the reactions of Catholics and of moderate and more enthusiastic Protestants, both clerical and lay, to a lay head of the English church and the second part investigates the limits of the queen’s authority. The documents, which range from th…

A. G. Dickens as a Yorkshire historian
For thirty years after graduating from Oxford in 1932 Dickens, a devoted Yorkshireman, produced a stream of articles on the intellectual, social and political history of the county in the sixteenth century, which culminated in 1959 in his pioneering work Lollards and Protestants in the Diocese of York, 1509–58. After leaving Hull for London in 1962 he never found a county in the south of England to replace Yorkshire in his affections, and moved f…

A Man of Conscience in Seventeenth-Century Urban Politics: Alderman Hoyle of York
Claire Cross, the author of this chapter, examines the public records of Alderman Hoyle, who, like so many of York's leading citizens, was not a native of the city. Born about 1587 in Slaithwaite in the West Riding, the son of Thomas Hoyle, esquire, Alderman learnt his trade from Matthew Topham, a merchant of St Martin's, Micklegate. Cross observes that Alderman may have travelled extensively upon his master's business in England and abroad, comp…
An Elizabethan Martyrologist and his Martyr: John Mush and Margaret Clitherow
On 25 March 1586 for refusing to plead on a charge of harbouring Catholic priests Margaret Clitherow was pressed to death in York. She was in dying one quarter of an hour, a sharp stone as much as a man’s fist put under her back; upon her was laid to the quantity of seven or eight hundreth weight, at the least, which, breaking her ribs, caused them to burst forth of the skin. Thus most victoriously this gracious martyr overcame all her enemies, p…

Monastic Learning and Libraries in Sixteenth-Century Yorkshire
In July 1565 Edmund Skeltpn, clerk, left to the curate of Egton to remain in the parish for ever a book called Postella Cassiodorus , a Catholicon , and a Latin Bible, works distincdy at odds with the Protestant ethos which the new generation of bishops was striving to introduce into the Elizabethan Church. This bequest in itself singles Skelton out from the usual run of priests serving in Yorkshire villages at this rime. In fact, until his prior…

The Religious Life of Women in Sixteenth-century Yorkshire ( Presidential Address )
On 17 September 1523 a very wealthy widow, Dame Joan Thurscross, made her will in Hull.

He-goats before the Flocks’: A note on the part played by women in the founding of some Civil War Churches
Recent seventeenth-century historians have stressed the opportunities the disruption caused by the Civil War gave to women to assert a new role for themselves, first in religion, then in society in general. There is much truth in this thesis: especially among the more extreme sects like the Ranters, and, later, the Quakers, women did publicly teach and evangelise, activities hitherto exclusively reserved for men. Yet this emphasis upon radical wo…
Parochial Structure and the Dissemination of Protestantism in Sixteenth Century England: A Tale of two Cities

Achieving the Millennium: The Church in York during the Commonwealth
Anglican historians from the Restoration until relatively recently have tended to see the Commonwealth as a catastrophic interruption in English church history, a time when Puritan enthusiasts loosed religious anarchy upon the country; but perhaps the twenty years from 1640 to 1660 can be studied with more understanding if they are considered as the culmination of a century’s long struggle to cleanse the English church from the corruptions of Rom…
