Just Before Dark

By: Richard S. Monkman

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

At the time of this writing Richard Monkman has witnessed 30,671 sunsets. He takes this literal fact, with its accompanying experiences, into the realm of the spirit and proceeds from there into a description of 20th century social history. His own personal history gives the framework for the story. That history begins in poverty, then moves upward with the nations economy into the Middle Class. The fortuitous career choice of clerical ordination as well as wide international travel and keen personal powers of observation make the author an able interpreter of his time and place.

Ceremonies of the Sarum Missal

A Careful Conjecture

By: Richard Urquhart

R.J. Urquhart provides the first systematic description of the ceremonial of the Sarum Mass in 500 years. Using a variety of sources, and tracing the Sarum rite and its occasional use from the Act of Supremacy through to modern times, Urquhart has compiled a volume that offers the best possible reconstruction and overview of these profoundly beautiful rites from the liturgical treasury of the Church. Urquhart considers Sarum in the light of Pope Benedict XVI's groundbreaking apostolic constitution, Anglicanorum Coetibus, and how this has reopened the question of the catholicity of part of the Anglican patrimony. He also considers the impact of Pope Benedict's Summorum Pontificum and its proposition that what was sacred for earlier generations remains sacred now, arguing that this supremely pastoral teaching calls for a more profound and detailed study of the rite. Urquhart covers all aspects of the ritual, beginning with an outline of the vessels, books and vestments and then moving on to outline both Low and High Mass, special forms, processions and blessings, and the ritual year. Appendices cover the role of the laity, and offer an Ordo Missae with simple rubrics.

Thorps in a Changing Landscape

By: Paul Cullen,Richard Jones,David N. Parsons

The authors consider the siting of 'thorps' and 'throps' in relation to the landscape and to soil types in particular. Amply demonstrating the value of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of early medieval settlement in England, the authors are able to draw important conclusions about the changes in farming that swept the country during this period and by association the process of village nucleation. By examining both the chronology of place-names in 'thorp' and 'throp' and their qualifying elements (notably the presence or absence of personal names), it appears possible to chart both the speed at which arable enterprises farmed in severalty converted to communal cultivation as well as the direction in which the changes spread. There is a sense of real excitement as many fresh insights are revealed in the course of the book"--P. [4] of cover.

The Greatest Smuggler in England

The Life and Times of Francis Shaxton

By: Richard Lewis

Francis Shaxton was orphaned in his teens and was apprenticed into the cloth trade in King’s Lynn. Once he mastered that business he moved into the grain shipping trade. He soon found that he needed the co-operation (and blind eyes) of the customs and other authorities in order to prosper. Palms were greased and he built up a considerable shipping empire. He rose to be Alderman and mayor of King’s Lynn until his temporary downfall caused by someone not taking the bribe. Undeterred, after a brief period of straight trading, he carried on his merry way becoming mayor again until he lost his flagship off the Glamorgan coast in 1583 (she was supposed to be in Hartlepool). His business lost all impetus after this and nothing is known of him since 1586. He died in mysterious circumstances and his death remains unrecorded.
