Extract

Royal assent to the foundation in the parish church of Tattershall (Lincs.) of a college dedicated to the Holy Trinity, the Virgin, and SS. Peter, John the Baptist, and John the Evangelist was granted on 14th July 1439. The establishment was to consist of a Master or Warden, six priests, six clerks, and six choristers, and with an almshouse for thirteen paupers attached to the college, under the charge of the Master or Warden. The main purpose of the college was to pray for the souls of King Henry VI, Ralph, Lord Cromwell (the founder), and his parents, friends, and benefactors, and especially for the soul of his grandmother Maud Cromwell.

29 These are published in H.M.C., No. 219, pp. 179–84, where they are dated c. 1460. T h e statutes were evidently based on those of Archbishop Courtenay's college at Maidstone (Kent), founded in 1439, for in 1459 Richard Hert was sent from Tattershall to copy them (H.M.C., No. 73, p. 212).

From the wording it was certainly drawn up after Cromwell's death, but as it also mentions internal fittings of the hall it probably dates from after 1457–8 (see above, p. 135).

32 Oxford, Magdalen College, Misc. 355 (Cromwell Papers 432), datable to between 30th November 1466 and 23rd April 1469. Unfortunately this document could not be found when I visited the college, so I have taken the reference from McFarlane, K. B., The Nobility of Later Medieval England (Oxford, 1973) P. 49.Google Scholar In one document I was able to examine, of c. 1469, is a note that £5,981. 6s. 8d. was paid ‘restitut’ ex conscientia executorum’ (Misc. 357). Dating between 1459 and 1477 are a series of agreements between the executors and various landholders whereby the latter released their rights in various properties, or their claims against the former (Misc. 322, 354, 258). One of Ralph Cromwell's heirs, Joan, and her husband Humphrey Bourchier, appear to have been particularly troublesome over three manors, judging from an agreement dated 30th April 1468 (Misc. 253).

59 Holles, p. 186. 1424 pre-dates the founding of the college, so it is possible that the year was misread; the dates of the rood screen and screen between the transepts and choir suggest that 1524 is more likely.

96 The total costs for the Holy Cross and Seven Sacraments windows are the same as that for the Magnificat, and the Seven Sacraments window has the same area of glass as the latter.

97 The 10d. price is calculated by dividing the total cost (£6. 4$.) by the number of square feet (156).

98 The total costs of each ‘group’ of clerestory windows are mentioned in the accounts, and the 8d. rate is given for those executed by John Glasier.

100 The original contract is now lost, but it is printed in Dugdale, W., The Antiquities of Warwickshire, 2nd edn., i (London, 1730), pp. 446–7Google Scholar. Dugdale gives the date of the Chapel's completion as 1464, but the V.C.H. has 1462 (Warwickshire, viii (London, 1969), p. 526). Contrary to usual statements, this glazing is not the most expensive known in England. In 1401 William Burgh was paid 3s. 4d. per foot for work in Eltham Palace (Salzman, op. cit., 26).

104 e.g. on 9th April 1351 John Cosin was paid 2s. for travelling from Westminster to Windsor in order to measure the windows. On 18th March 1352 payment was made for making cases to carry the glass panels from Westminster to Windsor, for hay and straw to be put in them, and for freighting them (Salzman, op. cit., ii (1927–8), 188). Another example is the glass of Winchester College. In 1393, 19s. 3d. was paid for two wagons going from Esher to Oxford and then to Clere and Winchester, carrying the glass made by Glazier, Thomas of Oxford (J. D. Le Couteur, Ancient Glass in Winchester (Winchester, 1920), pp. 63Google Scholar, 117).

107 Gough, pp. 174–5.

108 It is not quite clear whether or not the arms of Neville and Waynflete were in the glass. Just above this entry is the mention of the date of the rood loft, so they may have been carved or painted on this.

109 See my thesis, p p. 40–1, for details.

110 The whole story is recounted in E. L. Grange, ‘The Removal of the Glass from Tattershall Church’, Lincolnshire Notes and Queries, i (1889), I–3.

111 In 1756 there are payments on account of the glass and for wood for cases in which to pack the glass (Ibid., p. 3).

112 Gough, p. 174. He does not mention St. Martin's, but the glass there is from the same series as the panels in Burghley House. Neither does Gough give the date of the gift to the Earl of Warwick, but it is in the window itself. No trace has been discovered of more Tattershall glass apparently decorating the summer house of an eighteenth-century rector of Louth (Lincs.) (see C. Woodforde, ‘Ancient Glass in Lincolnshire. III. Tattershall—The History of the Glass’, The Lincolnshire Magazine, i, No. II (May-June 1934), 367).

118 Peckitt's Commission Book (York City Art Gallery Box D3), ff. 6r and 6V. I owe these references to the kindness of Mr. Trevor Brighton. A quarry in either window s III or s IV once bore this inscription: ‘William Pecket, Ebor., fecit, 1760’ (Lincolnshire Notes and Queries, i (1889), 76).

119 Medieval and later glass from several other places is also incorporated in the scheme.

133 For a full catalogue see my thesis, pp. 250–327.

134 At the time of writing (1977) there are plans for this glass to be removed for conservation and rearrangement.

135 The distinction between main and tracery light subjects can be made from the shape and size of the surviving panels, and from a comparison of their measurements with those of the actual windows. For a detailed analysis of the iconography see my thesis, pp. 191–237.

136 Almost all of the inscriptions are identical with those in the ‘Biblia Pauperum’, and most of the scenes are based upon its woodcuts. For the dating of the ‘Biblia Pauperum’ see A. Stevenson, ‘The Quincentennial of Netherlandish Blockbooks’, Brit. Mus. Q. xxxi (1966–7), 83–7.

139 In 1479, 5s. 2d. was paid on a declaration made by Erneys at the time of his pilgrimage (K.C.A., No. U.1475 Q 19/1, H.M.C., No. 198, pp. 192–3).

140 The motto occurs over the chapel door at Magdalen College.

141 Precisely what went where can be deduced from a comparison of the dimensions and shapes of the surviving panels with the chancel window lights. Further proof that the various panels described above belong together lies in the fact that they are all related stylistically; also only chancel glass was removed to Stamford.

142 See above, p. 142.

143 It is, of course, possible that the remaining contents of the north window were transferred to the south transept between the dates of the visits by Holles and Gough.

144 The fragments may have come from one of the two St. Catherine windows; see my thesis, Chapter Eight, p. 218.

145 See above, pp. 151–2, for a summary, and Chapter Five of my thesis for details.

146 It is possible, however, that either Style 5 or Style 6 was the work of whichever one of Glasier or Wymondeswalde was not responsible for Style 4.

147 For the traditional view see especially Med. Christ. Im., pp. 50–4, and B. Rackham, ‘The Glass-Paintings of Coventry and its Neighbourhood’, Walpole Soc. xix (1930–1), 89–110. Dr. P. A. Newton was the first to draw attention to the origin and widespread distribution of the style (Schools of Glass Painting in the Midlands 1275–1430, University of London, unpublished Ph.D. thesis, 1961, pp. 98134).Google Scholar

148 e.g. the figure of Bishop Alnwick of Lincoln (1436–49) in Lyddington Bedehouse (Rutland) and the glazing of St. John's church at Stamford (Lincs.) of 1451, are very close to glass of the first third of the century at Wrangle (Lincs.) and Rushden (Northants.). See my thesis, pp. 66–7.

156 Englishmen were by no means strangers to Flemish art in the middle of the fifteenth century. In 1446 Sir Edward Grymestone commissioned his portrait from Petrus Christus (Earl of Verulam Collection, on loan to the National Gallery), and there was considerable Netherlandish influence on English sculpture from the late 1440s (see Stone, L., Sculpture in Britain: The Middle Ages (Harmondsworth, 1955), pp. 204–10)Google Scholar and on manuscripts about a decade later; Cambridge, Trinity College, MS. R.14.5, executed for Thomas Chaundler between 1457 and 1461, and several other manuscripts suggest very strongly that Flemish illuminators were resident in England at this time (see Scott, K. L., ‘A Mid-Fifteenth-Century English Illuminating Shop and its Customers’, J. Warburg and Courtauld Insts. xxxi (1968), 170–96).CrossRefGoogle Scholar
