The antiquities of Canterbury. Or a survey of that ancient citie, with the suburbs, and cathedrall Containing principally matters of antiquity in them all. Collected chiefly from old manuscripts, lieger-bookes, and other like records, for the most part, never as yet printed. With an appendix here annexed: wherein (for better satisfaction to the learned) the manuscripts, and records of chiefest consequence, are faithfully exhibited. All (for the honour of that ancient metropolis, and his good affection to antiquities) sought out and published by the industry, and goodwill of William Somner.

By this intended Constitution you see much of the pristine authority of Rurall Deanes, was meant to be annexed to them and their office. But this as the rest of those laws ne∣ver came in force. So that of the quality, use and office of our Rurall Deanes, all the face that surviveth, or can be ga∣thered from any expresse law or Constitution made touch∣ing them since the reformation, is represented and exhibi∣ted unto us by part of an English Canon made and published in Anno Dom. 1571. runneth thus. When the visitation is fini∣shed, the Archdeacon shall signifie unto the Bishop, whom he hath found in every Deanry so furnished with learning and judgement,

that they may be thought worthy to instruct the people in Sermons, and to rule and govern others. Of these the Bishop may choose some, whom he will have rurall Deanes a. Hitherto and enough of Rurall Deanes in generall: onely let me tell you, that I suppose they were more in request when Ecclesiasticall Courts were moveable, and kept from Deanry to Deanry (for which see the Constitution Excussis. De judiciis in Pro∣vincial.) and when Rurall Chapters, whereof there were foure more principall in the yeare, each quarter one, were in use (for which see the Constitution Quia Incontinentiae. De Constitutio. in text. & glos. in verb. capitulis ruralibus) which rurall Chapters are not hitherto so exolete and dis∣used, but that our Archdeacon of Canterb. every yeare hold∣eth one, namely about Michaelmas, annually, throughout the whole Archdeaconry, which he therefore calleth Gene∣rale; then which one, though now he do not, yet did he for∣merly hold more, as is probable, because by the old Compo∣sition made between the Archbishop and him, his Apparitors are in expresse words assigned him, pro capitulis celebrandis, and for no other purpose.

Now a word or two of our particular Deane, to whom I finde that former times have had recourse for his assistance in many things. The Threasurer of Christ-Church b in the yeare 1257. being unpaid divers rents due by the Church tenents in Canterb. hires the Deanes cryer for 12^d. at foure severall times to denounce or publish throughout the City all such retainers of rents excommunicated: and makes it parcell of his demands in his Accompt for that yeare, viz. Preconi Decani Cant. 12^d. ut denuntiaret detentores reddituum excommunicatos per totam Civitatem &c. His seale being au∣thenticall, he had a hand in many Exemplifications, in some joyning with other, in other, alone by himself. Of which I have seen of each sort not a few. Wherein, especially in those of the elder sort, he writes and styles himself Decanus Christi civitatis Cant. For the same cause, I suppose, that our spirituall Courts were and are to this day called Curiae Christianitatis (Courts Christian) originally so called (as

M^r Selden c notes upon the term frequent with Eadmerus and other writers of that age using it to denotate Episco∣pall authoritie and Jurisdiction) because in the primitive age of the Church, and in the Edicts of ancient Emperours. Bishops were specially and chiefly understood by the gene∣rall name of Christians. Generali Christianorum nomine (saith he) in edictis Imperatorum veterum Episcopos speciatim desig∣nart volunt Iuris consulti nonnulli, ad l. 11. Christianos. C. de Episcopali audientia. Hinc apud nos Fora sacra quibus jure nempe communi subnixis aut Episcopi praesunt, aut ii qui eo no∣mine Episcopos, utpote quos provocare licet, suspiciunt, Curiae Christianitatis etiamnum vocitantur. Primò Christianitatis vo∣cabulum, legem Christianam seu venerationem Christianam & Christianum cultum generatim sonabat, uti videre est in C. tit. de Apostolatis. l. 4. & C. Theodos. tit. de spectaculis l. 5. C. Eod. tit. de Decurtonibus. l. 112. C. Eod. tit. de Iudaeis, Coeli∣colis l. 19. alibi item. Sed postea Functio atque Iurisdictio illa quae in gerenda Christianae religionis seu Christianitatis aut poli∣tiae Ecclesiasticae cura potissimum exercentur, Christianitas eti∣am signa••ter dicta sunt; atque inde sacra Fora, Fora Christia∣nitatis vocitata. Thus he. And hitherto of the Ecclesiasti∣call government of the City. I proceed to the temporall. But by the way let me referre you for further understanding of that style or title of Decanus Christianitatis, and of the qua∣lity, antiquity, and use of Rurall Deanes to Roverius his Illu∣strations upon the History of S. Iohns Monastery at Rheimes. pag. 628. 629.

How our City was governed in temporalibus, before the time of the Bailiffes is somewhat obscure. Yet questionlesse it alwayes had a speciall and distinct Magistrate to preside over it, whom I finde styled, either the Praefect, the Port∣reeve, or the Provost, names differing more in sound then in sense and signification. For the first of which, in the yeare 780. in certaine Charters of Christ-Church bearing date at Canterbury, mention is made of one Al••e hujus Civitatis Praefectus, as in one, Regis Praefectus in Do••niâ, as in another of them, who having purchased Burn••, con∣sisting

of foure plough-lands, of his Master the Kentish King Egbert, for two thousand shillings, gave it all to the Monkes of that Church, ad mensam, that is, for their main∣tenance in food dyet. For the second, Portreve or Port∣greve, in the yeare 956. to a Deed of the sale of a parcell of Land in Canterbury to one Ethelstane, by two Knights Ethelsi and Wlfsi, is the subscription (amongst other witnesses) of one Hlothewig Portgerefa, on this wise, viz. After King Ed∣gar, Queene Eadgive (who writes herselfe, in Cantia etiam Guberbnator) and some others, it followes. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. By the way these 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 here mentioned as wit∣nesses in the last place, and which I meete with in two other like Charters of Christ-Church about the same age were (I take it) of the nature of those Fraternities, Gilds, or Gild∣scips which M^r Lambert in his explication of Saxon words, in verb. Contubernalis, and more at large S^t Hen. Spelman in his Glossary, in verb. Geldum, severally expound. I proceed. In the Danish massacre here under King Etheldred, happening Anno 1011. Alfword (as Huntington) Elfrig (as Hoveden) Alfred (as Thorne calls him) Praepositus Regis (the City-Go∣vernor, I take it) was one of the personages of quality then taken prisoners. Afterwards Doomsday-booke records the name of another like Praepositus, Brumannus by name, in these words. Quidam Praepositus Brumannus nomine T. R. E. cepit consuetudines de extraneis mercatoribus in terra S. Trinita∣tis, & sancti Augustini, qui postea T. R. W. ante Archiepisco∣pum Lanfrancum & Episcopum Bajocen. recognovit se injustè ac∣cepisse &c. (as it is before p. 4.) Thus before the Conquest.

In succeeding times it seemes the City was the Archbi∣shops, especially Lanfranks, and his immediate successor Anselmes, the former holding it as it were in see ferme, the latter, freely, ex solido, in the nature of what the Lumbards call an Alodium. Hence that of M^r Lambert d. The Bishops (saith he) were never absolute owners thereof till the time of King William Rufus, who (as the Annals of S. Augustine say)

dedit civitatem Cantuariae Anselmo ex solido, quam Lanfran∣cus tenuerat ex beneficio. Hence also that of Eadmerus e, who then lived. Praecepit itaque Rex, ut sine dilatione ac diminutione investiretur de omnibus, ad Archiepiscopatum pertinentibus in∣tus & extra, atque ut civitas Cantuaria quam Lanfrancus suo tempore in beneficio à Rege tenebat, & Abathia sancti Albani quam non solum Lanfrancus, sed & antecesseres ejus habuisse noscuntur in alodium ecclesiae Christi Cantuariensis, proredemp∣tione animae suae, perpetuo jure, transirent. Neverthelesse the City still had a Portreve to superintend and rule over it. For in the same Archbishop Anselmes time, one Calveal, by the name and title of Portgreva, is mentioned as a witnesse to an exchange of houses betweene the Church, and the City; the Deed whereof, for the old English-sake, and because withall a good evidence of that ages plainnesse and simpli∣city, as much (it seemes) affecting the Imperatorian Brevity, as ours abhorres it (an age truely then in which men were never more extraordinarily cautious, and yet never more ordinarily cousened) it shall not be amisse here verbatim to insert.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Which in our moderne English may be thus rendred.

This is the Exchange betweene the Family. at Christ-Church, and the Knights at Canterbury of the society of Merchants. The society of Merchants give up (or put over) into the hands of the family eight houses within Burgate with (the liberties of) sace and socne, as they themselves enjoy them. And the family give up (or put over) into their hands on the other side nine houses,

two without Readingate. In one of them dwelleth Aelfric, and Bruman in the other. The (other) seven within Newingate. In them dwell Siward Entfert, and Brihtric, and Goldwine, and Hereword, and Willelm, and Wulfgeve, and Alfwine, with (the liberties of) sace and socne as the family enjoyes them. Thereun∣to is witnesse Anselme Archbishop, and the family at Christ-Church, and Calveal Portreve, and the chiefest men of the soci∣ety. To shew (or manifest) this, the family hath one writing (or part) and the society another.

Not long after, the single was changed into a double Portreeve, Bailiffe, or Provost; yet not elective by the vote and suffrage of the Citizens untill Hen. 3. time, who in the eighteenth yeare of his reigne, by his Charter granting the Towne to the Citizens in Fee-ferme, infranchised them with licence and power yearely to choose them Bailiffes of their owne. From and after which time, the City continued a Bailiffe-Towne, that is, was governed by Bailiffes, untill the change thereof into a Maioralty by Hen. 6. in the 26^th yeare of his reigne, in which estate it now stands. My past endeavors cannot as yet furnish me with a compleat nomen∣clature of all the Bailiffes: if my future shall, I shall willing∣ly impart them. But of the Maiors this, so neere as I ca•• is a true list or Catalogue according to their severall Succes∣sions.

Maiors.	How often.	What yeare.

2 William Bennet.	1	1450
He was divers times before, one of the Bailiffes of the City, unto which at his death he became a benefactor. For by his Will f he gave unto the City his Tenements beside Iury-lane in Saint Mary Bredmans Parish. Those two stone∣houses

(I take it) they are, the one the Tigre, the other the White-horse standing by that Lane, very ancient both, and known to belong unto the City at this day. He gave also to the Wardens of S Andrews Church in Cant. where he was a Parishioner, 4s 4d. per annum, to keep and maintain the clock there, for ever. His other good deeds have their deserved mention elsewhere.
3. Gervase Clifton.	1.	1451.
4. Roger Ridley.	1.	1452.
He gave by his Will g five marks to the paving of the Bul∣stake, and as much to the new building of S. Georges-gate, and 4 lib. also towards repairing of the Chancell of S. Mary Castell Church in Canterbury.
5. Iohn Mulling.	1.	1453.
6. Iohn Mulling.	2.	1454.
7. Iohn Winter.	1.	1455.
He lies buried in S. Margarets Church, where if you look you shall finde by his Epitaph what were his works of piety. He was in his former dayes one of the Bailiffs of the City, viz. anno 25. H. 6. the very last yeare of the Bailiffs govern∣ment thereof.
8. William Bennington.	1.	1456.
9. Richard Pratt.	1.	1457.
What he was, may be further known by his Epitaph for∣merly taken and set forth in S. Margarets Church, where he lies interred.
10. Philip Belknap.	1.	1458.
He dwelt (they say) at the Mote, but died within the yeare, and William Bold supplied the place.
11.	Roger Ridley.	2.	1459.
12.	William Bigg.	1.	1460.
He it was that with one Iohn Coppyn of Whitstable built our present Mercat-crosse at the Bulstake, as the Inscription upon it will shew you. By his will h he gave 10 lib. towards the work of S. Georges-gate. He was a benefactor also to the

window-work of S. Peters Church, as is before remembred.
13. Iohn Freningham Esq•.	1.	1461.
His Will i shews him to be a man of much piety. For thereby he gave twenty Nobles to S. Mary Magdalens Church, 20 lib. to Christ-Church, 20 nobles to the Prior of Christ-Church for overseeing his will, 20 lib. to the repair∣ing of S. Michaels-gate, or paving of the Bulstake, and 20 no∣bles to the amending of foul wayes in and neare Canterbury.
This yeare the City was made a County per se, and that upon these (very valuable) considerations. Nos (saith the King, Ed. 4.) Civitatem nostram praedict. unam de antiquissi∣mis Angliae Civitatibus existentem in loco ejusdem regni eminen∣tiori in prospectu omnium tam in idem regnum peregrinantium vel aliter à partibus ex••eris venientium, quam per idem transe∣untium sitam existere considerantes, sedemque ejusdem Regni Metropolem in eadem existere, in cujus ecclesia Metropolitica cor∣pus beati Thomae Martyris ad quem devotionem gerimus speci∣alem honor••icè feretratur, necnon ossa carissimi consanguinei nostri ac praenobilis principis Edwardi nuper principis Walliae re∣quiescunt humata. In superque fidelitates & obsequia laudabilia, ac probitatem, industriam & s••renuitatem Maiorum & civium Civitatis nostrae praedict. quibus se nobis incli••que recordationis atque memoriae progenitoribus nostris Regibus Angliae hucusque gratos in omnibus & paratos exhibuerunt, & praecipuè sidelitates & obsequia laudabilia ••obis jam nuper per Cives Civitatis prae∣dict' ad sumptus, custas, expensas, labores, pericula, & grava∣mina Maiorum & Civium nostrorum praedict' plura & non mo∣dica exhibita meritò contemplantes &c. As it is in the Charter. The very same yeare 16 lib. 13s. 4d. part of the 60 lib. per an∣num, untill then paid as fee-ferme to the King by the City, was fi••st abated, and by the Kings Charter for ever after re∣mitted to the City. The reasons and inducements were these. Quia Nos (saith the same Ed.) ex gravi & lamentabili querela eorundem nunc Maioris & Civium nostrorum Civitatis praedictae accipientes quòd eadem Civitas nostra ac inhabitantes

eandem in tantam paupertatem tam ob grandem & onerosam so∣lutionem praedictae firmae sive feodi firmae ejusdem civitatis lx lib. nobis & progenitoribus nostris solus', ac grandes & onerosas cu∣stas & expensas suas in resistentia inimicorum nostrorum Reg∣num nostrum Angliae in partibus ejusdem Regni eidem Civitati vicinis quampluries invadere nitentium quàm ob alia onera ei∣dem Civitati necessariò incumbentia ac paucitatem inhabitanti∣um ibidem in tantum depauperantur & vastantur, quòd ipsos inha∣bitantes Civitatem illam necessariò oportebit, quod absit, omnino relinquere desolatam, nisi eis per nos in hac parte gratiosius suc∣curratur &c. as it is in the same Charter.
