THE series ofd ocuments here pr inted ex is ts i n a mut i late dmanuscr ipt preserved among the miscel laneous papers i n the

Ep is copal Registry at Lincol n . I t has now no title other than

the i ns cript ion I N VENTAR IUM MONUMENTORUM S UPERSTI TI ON I S on

the outs id e of i ts parchment cover. The volume cons ists of

returns mad e i n the eighthy ear ofE l izabeth to certain royal

commiss ioners,by the churchward ens ofone hund red and fifty

parishes i n the county ofLincoln,of such arti c les of church

furn iture ashad been used i n the previous reign, butwere in 1566

cons id ered by the author ities to b e superst it ious or unnecessary .

F rom the p resent state ofthe manuscript it i s not poss ible

to d etermine with certainty whether any leaves have been lost

from the end . The b ind i ng seems to ind icate that i t was never

much thicker than i t i s at p resent . The first s ix leaves have

been to rn away, and the nex t s ix s o far mut i lated as to rend er

the d ocuments very imperfect, and the sense, attimes, obscure .

I Vith these except ions and that offol ios 125, 156 , 157,

163 -165, 192-200, whichhave also unhappi ly perished , the book

seems to b e comp lete . The paper,handwr it ing, and general cha

,wi th the except io n ofthe

head ings and the memoran da ofexhib it ion . As these almost

always fol low the same form,i t has been thought ad visable i n

most instances to gi ve the facts unclogged by a repet it ion ofuse

less verb iage. Horbl ing and Colsterworth are pr i nted without

abridgment as spec imens .

The append ix contains i llust rat i ve d ocuments ofvar ious ages .

The first and second art icles are espec ial ly interest i ngas furn ish

ingthe earl iest known comp lete l ists ofchurchgood s . They are

the foundat ion ofour present law as to the relat ive dut ies of

rectors and par ishioners i n regard to the fabri c ofthe churchand

i ts ornaments . S pelman printed themupward s oftwo centur ies

ago, butthey have not hi therto been publ ished accurately .

The Compotus ofthe churchward ens ofS ain t Mary’s,S tamford ,

has remained i n manuscr ipt up to the p resent t ime a t ranslat i on

was i nd eed publ ished l ong s i nce by Francis Peck, butthat i ndus

t r i ons antiquary has i n several cases ent i rely failed to und erstand

the or igi nal .

The ser ies ofpapers relat ing to the Boston gui ld s wi l l, i t i s

bel ieved , have a pecul iar i nterest to many persons . They are

valuab l e because they supp ly a s i ngularly ful l d es cr ipt ion ofthe

furn iture ofthe churchand gui ld chape l s ofan important town

when the country was on the eve ofthe great Tud o r revo lut ion .

To some ofus they wil l have afar d eeper att ract io n from the

fai nt gleam ofl ight they throw o n the town -l ife ofthe ancestors

ofthose who found ed the most i l lust rious ofAmer ican c it ies .The whole ofthi s ser ies, wi th the except ion ofthe i nventory

ofthe gui ld ofS t. Mary, was unknown to M r . Thompson, theBoston histor ian .

The ed ito r could have extend ed thi s part ofhis work to a far

greater length, buthe concei ves that he has acted wisely i n re

strain ingitwithi n i ts present l imits .

I NTROD UCTI ON .

Litt le need b e said as to the few notes by whichthese o l d

papers are i l lustrated . The ed ito rhas end eavoured to explai n themeaningofal l the terms l ikelyto b e un inte l l igible to the ord i nary

read er, and has given suchgenealogical i l lust rations as the natureofhis task seemed to requi re . In a wo rk like the p resent, con

tain ing so many personal names, concern ingeachofwhichpersev ering researchmight have recovered something, it i s not l ike ly

that his select ion has always been the wisest. To have i l lus tratedthe geneal ogies ofthe famil ies ment ioned i n the record as ful ly asthey d eserve would have taken years oflabour .* The o l d fami

l ies ofLincolnshi re are worthy ofb ei ngremembered i n connex ionwi thhappier scenes and nobler act ions than those record ed here .

The ed ito r’s thanks are due i n the fi rst p lace to Messrs . Johnand Robert Swan , regist rars ofthe d iocese ofLincoln

,by whose

courtesy he has been perm itted to have the ful lest access to themonumenta; and espec ial ly to John Swan, E sq .

,who

,atgreat

personal inconven ience to himself, on two occas ions surrend eredhis pr i vate offi ce to the ed i tor’s sole use whi le he was engaged inmakingthe transcript forthe p ress.

H e must al so offer his warmest thanks to W i l l iam S imond s,

,Esq.

,

town clerk ofthat borough, for perm iss ion to consul t the mun i

,not on ly for

the l oan ofhis valuable geneal ogi cal co l lections and the prompt

have gone before us are as impo rtant to those who would inves

tigate the growthofc ivi l izat io n as the remain s that chron icle the

p rogress ofourglobe ere man had become i ts l ord are to those

who cul tivate that earl ier po rt io n ofhi sto ry cal led geology . N one

ofus can make even a rud e approach toward s und erstand ing the

l ife ofany one century wi thout a cons id erable knowledge ofwhat

has gone before . This i s more especial ly true wi thregard to the

s ixteenth, when Teutonic Europe broke away from the imme

morial t rad itions ofthe past . To app rec iate ful ly the love that

such ofthe Engl ish peop le as were not Protestants showed for

the r ites ofthei r o l d rel igion, it i s necessary to remember several

things now commonly fo rgotten .

The means by which Chr istian ity was p lanted in northern

Europe were wid ely d ifferent from those taken by mod ern m is

sionaries t o sp read thei r faith. I nd i v idual convers ions were so

rare as to b e almost unknown . When the people became Chr is t ian,they d id so not as iso lated un its, butas famil ies o r v i l lages, t r ibes

o r k ingd oms . W e can at best but imperfectly comprehend the

nature ofthe influence that moved the fierce conquerors oftheS outhto embrace the fai thofthe peop le they had subdued . The

manner i n whi chthe new c reed p resented itselfto the shepherd ,the hunter, the forest-dwel ler, and the sea-rover, so as t o induce

them to cast away the i r anc ient p i cturesque mytho logy, i s a st i l l

d arker problem . There can,however

,b e no d oubt that when al l

due al lowances are mad e forthe barbar ism and superst it io n i n

whichthe converters and co nverted part icipated almost equal ly,

it was the higher i nst incts ofthei r nature which l ed the wor

shippers ofthe Norse god s to b ow before the c ross .

Convers ion from a rel igio n that encouraged crue l ty and blood

shed , to one whose mai n soc ial feature was mercy and brother ly

lo ve, must have had a salutary i nfluence o n l ife and manners, butwiththe mass ofthe peop le i ts p rogress was extreme ly s low. The

change to a perso n l ivingatthe t ime cannot have seemed sucha rad ical one as i t d oes to us who see i t i n the l ight ofsucceed i ngevents .

I NTR OD UCTI ON . 15

Such ofthe r ites ofthe Church as were not d er ived d i rectl yfrom the Holy S c riptures or Aposto l ic teachi ngwere mostly of

Greek origi n . Rome,the great o rgan iz ingpower ofthe world ,

had l itt le ofplas tic art; the mould ingand the mod el l ing, not of

thought on l y, but ofmany ofthose outer things through which

thoughts are mad e comprehens ib le to the unthink ing,were mai nlythe wo rk ofthe subti ler and more poet ic mind s ofthe Eastern

Patr iarchates. ButRome,wi ththat i nstinct for oneness which

had d ist inguished herfrom those ear ly d ays when her patricians

fi rst found ed a c ivi c pol ity, urged on al l who entered wi thi n the

mystic sheepfo ld the pract ice ofthe same forms, as only one

d egree less necessary than the bel iefi n the same creed s. But

Rome was not even then al l -powerful . As the only organ ized

power in Europe that was based o n intel lect and thought, thatappealed from the pass ions and an imal i nst i ncts ofman to his

mind and consc ience,she exerc ised a power far beyond anything

the wo rld had hitherto behel d . She d ethroned the Norse god s,and approp riated thei r templ es to her own purer worship, butshe

could not uproot the p r imaeval trad itions ofherad opted chil drenfi“

Thus i t came about that whi le al l Europe was one not only in

p rofessed rel igious bel ief, but i n al l the main features ofexterio r

U nd er the s l ightly al tered d rapery whi ch the Church had

thrown over them, our ancesto rs retained most ofthe o ld fo rms

to whichthey had been accus tomed in chi ldhood . Many ofthe

new id eas, such as the efficacy ofsacramental grace and the d e

pravity ofunregenerate man, were harmon ized withthe not d is

s imil ar trad it ions ofthei r own peop le, and thus c reated around

the Church’s authentic teachingan imagi nat i ve regio n ofpoetry

and sorcery unknown to pure heathen ism or to the earl ier Christ ian

hi s to ry . The faith,as wr itten in book s and taught by synod s

and counci l s,remained that ofthe who le Chr ist ian family ; but

the fai th ofthe hal l and the cottage, the battl e-p lai n and the

d eath-b ed ,was somethingother than thi s, thoughnot in conscious

oppos it ion . I t was a strange mingl ing ofo ld heathend om with

the teachings ofthe Gospe l—a d ream-world where VVod en, and

E r iga, and Tho r mingl ed with the saints of the Church’s

kalend ar ; where the sagas ofthe Northmen j o ined the i r wi ld

chant to the war-songs ofthe chosen peop le ofGod .

I t i s now three centur ies s i nce the med iaeval form ofChr is

tianity was overturned i n thi s country, and we can see butvery

d imly i n the p resent practice ofother land s what were its effects

upo n a peop le fervent i n fai th, and harassed by none ofthose

i nward quest io n ings which latter t imes have brought forth. I f

we would und erstand these things, we must t ry to real ize the

mental pos i t ion ofmen hold ing substantial ly the same fai th as

a mod ern Roman Cathol ic , wi ththe most intense d evot ion and

reverence whi ch the p revalence of scept icism has now mad e

common men of turbulent nature, free l i v ing, free spoken,st rong in the i r j oys and the i r so r rows, the i r l oves and the i rhatred s menwho, al though they be l ieved the Churchto b e the

We must b ring before us these fore-eld ers ofours, withful l

memory ofthe fact that every act ion ofd aily l ife was und e r thebless ing ofthe Church; that men were not only brought in to

contact wi thher serv ices at bapt ismand confi rmation,marriage

and bur ial, but l iteral ly atalmost every hour ofthe i r l i ves ; thatevery p lace and every arti c le ofsecular use—the kn ight

,and

cook ing vessel s—the too ls ofthe labourer,and the nets ofthe

po le, were subjects ofthe Church’s bene

FRESCO OF THE SE VEN SACRAM ENTS .

I N the year 1860, when the par ishchurchofKirton i n Lind seyund erwent certai n alterat ions and structural repai rs, a fresco

pai nt ingwas found o n the wal l ofthe north ai s le, hid d en und er

many coats ofwhitewash. I t was not d i sco vered unt i l a great

portio n had been d estroyed . The persons who careful ly removed

the whi tewashfromthe p icture observed that its upper part had

been cove red at some comparat i ve ly recent time with a scrol l

work d esign in c lass ic taste, enclos ing texts ofS cripture wr itten

i n a black - letter character . The he ight ofthe p i cture was 6 feet

i nch,by 6 feet wid e. The wal l o n which itwas executed

belongs to the Perp end icular per i od ofour archi tecture . It i s

p robable, judgingfrom the t racery ofthe adjo in ingwi nd ows and

the very s l ight i nd i cat ions ofd ate to b e found i n the d resses of

the figures, that i t was executed about the c l ose ofthe fourteenth

century .

The subj ect ofthe pain t ing i s the seven sac raments ofthe

Roman Cathol ic Church. In the centre once stood the figure of

our Blessed S aviour o n the c ross,the head surround ed by a rayed

n imbus, the base ofthe cross rest ing on aglobe, the uppe r partofwhich i s stained with blood . On the right hand of the

Red eemer stand s the Blessed V i rgin, c lad i n a blue garment ; onthe left is S t. John the E vangel ist . F rom the wound s i n the

hand s and the feet ofthe Crucified flow s treams ofblood,which

are d irected to the seven compartments arranged around . I nthe fi rst compartment on the left i s shown the Holy Commun ion ,where a bishop, i n eucharist ic vest-ments

,witha pastoral staffi n

his left hand , i s giv ingthe chal ice to an attend ant p r iest . I m

med iately below thi s group i s the fragment ofanother, which,when perfect, represented Bapt ism ; here nothing now remain s

buta smal l port ion ofthe pr iest’s figure and the outl ine ofthe

upper part ofa c i rcular font . The two next compartments are

ent i rel y gone ; they no d oub t once represented Holy Ord ers andConfirmat ion . I n the fi rst d ivis ion on the

,right, we have a verv

upon the s ick man’s breast ; an attendant, also an ecc les iast ic,

hold s a book, on whose op en leaves are inscr ibed a sentence,of

whi ch one wo rd on ly—OPERATI OX E— i s legible . The wife of

the d epartingman i s seen between the two c lerical figures ;she i s evid ently attent ive ly watching the ceremony . The nex t

compartment represents Penance. I t would have been exceed

enti re ; unhapp i ly, l itt le remai ns ex cept the outl ine ofa figure

gi v i ngthe pr iest ly b less ing to another who kneel s before him.

The obj ect ofthe thi rd figure i s not clear ; I bel ieve i t represents

a person in the act.ofp rayer . Last ly, we have the marriage r ite ;

b uthere, too, the hand ofthe d est royer has swept away more

than halfthe p i cture . The brid e i s quite gone, and buta very

d im outl ine ofthe p r iest remains ; the brid egroom is mo re

perfect, his face and hand s have d isappeared , butwe can make

out that his wed d ingd ress was a green tuni c wi thred hose . A

lad y stand s near him, d ressed al together in b lue.

At the bottom ofthe p i cture, be l owthe gl obe o n whi chthe

foo t ofthe c ross rests, are some remains ofthe out l ines ofa

shield . Here, perhaps, was once figured the arms ofthe person

who caused the pai nti ng to b e executed .

This noble fresco,when perfect, must have been a work of

great beauty ; the d rawing i s ofunusual excel lence, and the sub

ject is, as app l ied to mural d eco rat i on, un ique i n thi s country .

I t i s p robable that thi s p icture was an ornament ofa pr ivate

THE EAS TER S EP UL CHRE .

B EFORE the changes ofr itual i n the s ixteenthcentury almost every

v i l lage church possessed an Easter sepul chre . These sepul chres

were usually moveable c losets ofwood , o n whichwere suspend ed ,during Pass ion -week and Easter-t id e, hangings ofprec ious s i l k

or gold and s i l ver t issue . I n the more costly churches—bui l t

dur i ngthe Decorated and Perpend icular per iod s—they were fre

quently ofstone,elaborately carved and o rnamented . Few of

these beaut iful wo rks ofart now remai n . The exampl es that

st i l l exist at Hawton,Patr ington, Heck ington , No rthwold , Hol

combe Burnel l, S outhpoo l , and W ood le ighare, i t i s bel ieved , al l

more o r less mut i lated . The o riginal fo rmwas that ofa smal l

arched recess* i n the north wal l ofthe chance l ; but i n later

t imes the d es ign was d eveloped wi thmany ornamental and sym

b o l ic d etai l s . I n the more elabo rate spec imens we find at the

bottom, below the recess, the Roman so ld iers wat chi ng the

grave, and high above the figure ofour Lord r i s ing from the

tomb. H e i s usual ly accompan ied by angel s, wi th censers, in

the att itud e ofad orat i on .

The sepul chre was used i n the latter d ays ofPass io n-week in

one ofthe most touchi ng r ites ofthe o l d ceremonial . On Holy

Thursday the cel ebrat ing p r iest consecrated three hosts ; one

whi chhe had to rece ive o n that d ay, another for use on Good

F riday,when no mass was said , and a thi rd to b e shut up

i n the pix and hid d en away in the Easter sepul chre . From the

t ime when the host was thus concealed unt i l Easter morn, when

it was agai n p laced upon the al tar,there was, d ay and n ight, a

constant success ion ofwat chers, prayi ngand recit ingpsalms and

l itan ies .

A d ou ble recess ofthis kind may stil l b e seen in the northwal l ofthebeaut ifu l Early Engl ish chancel at Bottesford , co . L incoln . The arches aresurmounted by a nail head hood mould ing. The marks ofthe hinges , bol t ,and lock ofthe doors may still b e traced .

H is biographymay be found atlengthund er his feastd ay, March20, in the A d d Srmctorum.

S aintWaltranwas born abou t the year 650, atMaurillac, near the ab bey ofSain t Wandragesil ius, or S t. Wand rille, otherwise Fontenelle, a Bened ic t inehou se situated on the banks ofthe S eine , seven leagues

’

d istance fromRouen .

H e is said to have been ofnob le b irth; his father was at tached to the Cou r t ofDagobert 1. When he became amonk ,he gave his family property atMauril iacto theAbbey ofFonterie l l e . H is elec tion to theArchbishopric ofS ens took placeabou t the year (303 . H e d ied atFontenelle, the date is variouslygiven as720and 711. There canno t b e muchdou b t b u t that the earlier is the true one .

The error has probably arisen from a b lund er in transc rip tion orthe misreading ofa manuscrip t . Portions ofhis relic s have been reserved in manycontinental churches . Fontenel le, S ens, and the church0 St. Peter atGandare the p rincipal p laces where their veneration is record ed . The feas t oftheirt rans lat ion is h e ld on 15Oc to ber.S ain t Wulfran preached the Christian faith amongthe Fresians, and mad emany conve r t s among them. Rathbod

, their chief, was so far moved by hiswo rd s that he p resented h imselffor bap tism. Ere the rite was adminis teredthe heat hen p r ince so lemnly ad j u red his teacher to tel l himwhether his pred ecessors the kings and lead er s ofhis peo ple who had d ied in times pas t werein the heavenlymans ions wh ichhe p romised to the faithful, or inthe regionofeternal fire. Wulfran repl ied , 1 d o not err befo re God , itis cer tain thatyou r p red eces sors , the p rinces ofthe Etesian people

,who d ied withou t bap

tism,have received sentence ofdamnation, b u t he who s hal l now believe and

b e bap tized shal l rejoice withCh ris t for evermo re .

” When Rathbo d h eardt h is he tu rned away I romthe font, saying he would not b e separated fromhisfo re -eld e rs , the p rinces ofhis tribe, to dwell for ever with a few poor men inthe k ingd omofh eaven

s S urvey ofthe Manor and S oke ofK irton in L ind sey,ofwhichHemswell forms a part, informs us that in 1616 Richard BushOp,gent ., held in Hemswell 366 acres, 3 rood s , 18 perches ofarable and pas tureland . and that smaller portions were in the pos sess ion ofhis relatives , RobertBushop, sen., John Roger, and MathewBushOp. Theses urveyors give by no means a flat teringaccount ofthe head ofthe family.

They saythat Richard Bushop hathingrossed nere 400 acres ofland e intohis po sses sion, and hold s it by an vnknowne righte, and beingrequ ired toat tend e the service ofthe survey forthe d iscouery ofhis oune land es, wilful lie refused itand d isuad ed others fromthe same.

” I t would seemthat henoton ly claimed to hold his own land s infee simple, but strugl ed to make“ himselflord e ofthe manor, and mu chand long trou b led the tenantes to d rawthem into a vsurped court ofhis oune estab lishynge. Nord en s tates thatt his pertinaciou s lawyerhad already been “ twice overthrowne by the lawe andcommit ted to the F l eete forhis contemptuous arrogance .

”Yethe d id not

Fromthe acid tone in whichMr. Bishop is spoken ofby these surveyorsone may imagine t hat but scan t courtesy was s hown thematHemswel l bythe atturney.

”The ad vice wit h whichthey conclud e their report mus t have

The ed itorhas heard ofa nest ofcoffins, bu t he believes that the instance isa solitary one . Abou t the beginningofthis century t he re lived atGainsburgha certain Mr. Jose h Hornby, a gent leman ofgood family, who had lo s t hisproperty by the failbre ofa bank 111 wh ichitwas inves ted , a reverse offortunewhic h had p reyed u pon hismind and produced an amount ofeccent ricity t hateventual ly d evelo ped into hopeles s insanity. Before this sad d ecay ofintellec thad become complete, b ut at a time when Mr. Hornby was noted for singularity ofbehaviour, he happened to b e sit tingin the commercial roomoftheWhite Hart I nn ofhis native town, read ingthe Stamford Mercury, when hewas interru pted by certain bagmen, who d emand ed to knowwhyhe had ven

tured to intrud e into an apartment setas id e fortheir s pecial use . Mr. Hornbysaid he was one oftheir calling, and res umed his newspaper on lyto b e againd isturbed bythe rud enes s ofthe bagmen ,who loud ly d eclared their d isbeliefinhis s tatement . Mr. Hornby

’s good temper, however, d id notfail him; he laidd own the newspaper, and d rawingfo r t h a large Cons tantinople pocket-book,said , “ Gent lemen , I as sure you I am engaged in trad e, and ammy owntraveller. I shall b e glad to take anyord ers youmayfavour me with , as I amagene ral d ealer.

”One ofthe commercial gent lemen—notmore sceptical, b ut

somewhat rasher t han his companions—atonce replied , Ohthen, as youd eal

in everyth ing, I w ill give youan ord er foragros s ofcofiins to b e d elivered atmyhouse inManches ter this d aymon th.

” Hornby mad e amemorand um of

the t ransac tion inhis note o b ook,whichthe travel ler, by way ofjest, signed indue form. On the morrowfour orfive carpenters in the town received ord ersto make what Mr. Hornby called twelve nes t s ofcoffins . That is twelvelarge coffins witheleven ot hers fit tinginsid e each ofthem. The good s weremad e accord ingly, forward ed by s tage waggon and d elivered punctually at thep urchaser’s house on the day named in the agreement . The bagman at firs trefused to receive the consignment, and threatened to contes t the legality ofthe t ransac tion ; as there could be no d ou b t whatever as to the j u s t ice of

Hornby’s claim,after some d elay and many bit ter word s

, the nes t s ofcoffinswere paid for. Their owner, it is said , never ventured into L incolnshireafterward s .
