Ian’s Blog 10th November 2024

On Monday I took my car over to Edginswell on the outskirts of Shiphay, Torquay for the annual service. I can remember when there were fields there rather than the site of the Eden Vauxhall. 

On the way home I decided to visit the reference section of Torquay library to see if there were any books that mentioned the church in Coldridge. I was rather surprised to find quite a few pages in some of the books about Devon churches. Most of it is already known to the Coldridge section of Philippa Langley’s missing princes team. I made a note of the following:-

1) Church restoration dates of 1877 and 1897. The 1877 date is in the Mike Salter book and both dates are quoted on p 274 of a book by WG Hoskins.

2) Some 15th century glass smashed recently by Wanton boys mentioned in a book by Bridget Cherry and Nikolaus Pevsner on page 372. I don't think I have come across this before? I wonder if the boys were prosecuted and if there is a record of the date somewhere? Could Bridget Cherry be the mother of Martin Cherry who was one of the authors of an article in the Journal of stained glass about Edward V and Sir John Evans.

3) Map of the Devon hundreds.

4) I found a list of the Bishops of Crediton and Exeter.This might be useful for the Bishops of Exeter file on Coldridge in the Devon heritage centre.

5) Parclose Screen similar in style to those found in Brittany mentioned on page 48 of a book called Churches and Their Furnishings. This is mentioned in the Martin Cherry stained glass article which I mentioned in a previous paragraph in this week’s blog.

I found a couple of books which were the diaries of old Devon antiquarians but I couldn't find any reference to Coldridge. There might be other books which do provide some additional useful information. I will be visiting Exeter later this month and will endeavour to visit Exeter library to look through their books. It might also be worth contacting some local museums. I believe that Torquay museum has some old books on Devon. Also my friend Rosalind has told me that she might be able to help with the old handwriting in the Bishops of Exeter file on Coldridge in the Devon heritage centre.

Here is a link to the song that I composed with John Dike about the mystery of Sir John Evans and Edward V which features some video footage of Coldridge:-

On This Day In History . 2 November 1470 . Edward V was born . 👑 Edward was born at Cheyneygates, the medieval house of the Abbot of Westminster, adjoining Westminster Abbey. His mother, Elizabeth Woodville, had sought sanctuary there from Lancastrians who had deposed his father, the Yorkist King Edward IV, during the course of the Wars of the Roses. . . About Edward; . ◼ Edward V was King of England from his father Edward IV’s death on 9 April 1483 until 26 June of the same year. He was never crowned, & his 86-day reign was dominated by the influence of his uncle & Lord Protector, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who succeeded him as Richard III on 26 June 1483; this was confirmed by the Act entitled Titulus Regius, which denounced any further claims through his father’s heirs. . ◼ Edward and his younger brother Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York, were the Princes in the Tower who disappeared after being sent to heavily guarded royal lodgings in the Tower of London. Responsibility for their deaths was widely attributed to Richard III, but the lack of any solid evidence & conflicting contemporary accounts suggest four other primary suspects. . ◼ Along with Edward VIII, and the disputed Matilda & Jane, Edward V is one of four English monarchs since the Norman Conquest never to have been crowned. As it is generally assumed that he died close to the time of his disappearance, he is the shortest-lived male monarch in English history, his great-nephew, who was crowned Edward VI, died in his sixteenth year. . .

Stony Stratford in Buckinghamshire is steeped in history, not least because of its role in the grim but dramatic events of 1483, when the 12-year-old Edward Plantagenet was taken into custody by his uncle, Richard of Gloucester, and imprisoned in the @thetoweroflondon along with his younger brother. 👑 The Rose and Crown Inn on the High Street in Stony Stratford was reputedly where Edward stayed the night before he was taken to London. The inn is now a private house but a plaque on the front wall marks the site. 📚 #RecommendedReading You can find out more about the events of 1483 in Following in the Footsteps of the Princes in the Tower by Andrew Beattie, which tells the story through the places they lived in and visited. • #History #StonyStratford #RichardIII #EdwardV #TowerOfLondon #RoyalHistory #1483 #BritishHistory #VisitEngland #PrincesInTheTower #England #KingsAndQueens #Plantagenet #HistoricBuilding #15thCentury #Recommended #BooksToRead (at Stony Stratford) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB5QxZnJSZW/?igshid=1me5a86y2ccoe

“In regards to Edward VI’s kingship and the construction of his reign, author Stephen Alford states the following interpretation:

“Elton explored a ‘machinery government’ that operated on the principle of ‘bureaucratic organization’ in the place of the personal control of the king, and ‘national management’ rather than the ‘management of the king’s estate’. Beneath personal monarchy, Elton argued in 1953, there lay a ‘national foundation’--’a nation at last fully conscious of its nationhood--that expressed itself in administrative of bureaucratic form. 

Although Elton subtly revised his position over the course of the next thirty years, the essential features of this constituional model remained unchanged. According to Elton, the Council governed the kingdom on behalf of the crown, and so the interaction between the monarch and his councillors could be read, if necessary, in exclusively administrative terms. 

Because the king asked the institutional Council for advice, and the institutional Council enforced policy on his behalf, governance became a bureaucratic exercise that subordinated kingship and politics to a formal, legally, coherent and recognizable ‘Tudor constitution’. Indeed, for Elton, royal counsel-taking--arguably, Tudor politics at its source--was properly limited to the sworn members of the institutional body.(...)”

Furthemore, the author, when turning to analyze King Edward as an individual and as a sovereign, he turns to his education as seen below:

“The ideal was a realm blessed by the government of philosophers or of kings who had given themselves to philosophy. Kings dedicated to philosophy were committed ‘to the due knowledge of God, to the discipline of virtue, and to that upryght execucion of their office towards all people.’

Edward received a formidable education in classical literature and rhetoric. Not all the sources survive--his notes on Aristotle’s Rhetorics and Politics, for example, or his thoughts on Sallust and the other historians his tutors read to him--but a good number do. The course of study Edward pursued mirrored the curriculum of the best contemporary grammar schools and Cheke’s teaching at Cambridge in the 1530′s. 

The king was, naturally, grounded in Latin grammar and vocabulary (1544-45), concentrated very closely on Cicero (1548-50), learned Greek (1549-50). read Plato and Demosthenes (1551-52), and began to write on theology (1552). 

His work brought him into close contact with the leading humanists of the time. In 1552, Roger Ascham reminded William Cecil that ‘by myn especiall good master Cheekes means, I have bene caulled to teache the king to write in his privie chamber’. Cecil, himself a pupil of Cheke in Cambridge and a former lecturer in Greek at St John’s College, had worked with Edward on a rhetorical exercise on paper only four days earlier.(...)”

Religion too played an important role in mouding Edward’s kingship. According to Alford, this is best explained through the advisors that were part of Edward’s council. In the author’s words:

“Thomas Cranmer addressed his king as ‘a second Josiah’, whose duty it was to promote the true worship of God, banish the tyranny of Rome, and destroy idolatry. For Hugh Latimer, Josiah and his counterparts in the Old Testament proved that ‘a kynge in hys chyldehode is a kynge, as well, as in any other age’. 

Boys of eight or twelve years of age had been called to kingship by the Holy Spirit. Latimer argued that ‘Josias & one or two mo though they wer chyldren yet had their realmes well governed and raigned prosperouslye’. Nobility rather than age mattered; and nobility, in turn, depended on counsel and education.

Intimately bound up with the model of Edward as a second Josiah was the Tudor royal supremacy. Cranmer explicitly linked the king’s office as Christ’s vicar within his own dominions to the second Josiah’s reformation of the Church of God. 

Edwardv VI  inherited from his father three principles of kingship with profound implications for the governance of the polity. First, that a king of England exercised secular imperium. Second, that the English king was vicar of God in his own realm. And third, that the Church in England could separate itself from Rome. Precedent was used in 1530 to argue that the ‘spiritual and temporal power of the papacy had been granted by the emperor and not by God’; similarly the argument ran, the sixth Council of Carthage (A.D. 419) had declared that no bishop could be called the ‘universal bishop’. (...)”

In order words, we may understand that the ideal of a Protestant king embodied in Edward’s regal personna was the on-going product of the elders that surrounded him, preparing him for a more dynamic role concerning the one true leading protestant figure in a world very much marked by the Religious Wars.

Fig. 1. Edward III half groat, Treaty period (1361-69) London mint, Spink ref S1620

Struck during a temporary truce during the Hundred Years’ War, following the Treaty of Brétigny of 1360. Under the terms of the treaty, Edward III renounced his claim to the French throne, in exchange for dominion over Calais and Aquitaine. This is evidenced by the omission of his usual French title on the obverse - a title he would reclaim when hostilities resumed in 1369.
