Berkhamsted Castle

A castle constructed from flintstones bound together using a very robust lime mortar.

Becket was constable of Berkhamsted till he was sacked from this position by Henry II. During his time as its constable he seems to have been a perpetual improver of his/its estates: he greatly increased the amount of money every year submitted to the King's Treasury.

The annual farm as recorded in the Pipe Rolls for Berkhampsted was £37 in 1156, £70 in 1158 and £77 in 1159.

The Manor at Harrow

The manor-house at Harrow was one of the occasional residences used by the archbishops of Canterbury during the middle ages. Becket often stayed here when he was in the vicinity of London, and it is mentioned a number times in the story of his life.

 In 1170, soon after his return from exile, Becket, was making his way to king Henry's hunting lodge at Woodstock, to pay his respects to the young king (heir apparent) Henry Plantagenet and to give him a present of three first-rate horses [chargers] which had specially brought with him from France. The prince had earlier that year been crowned the Young King by the archbishop of York, and was now associated with his father in the governance of the kingdom. As he made his way towards Becket was stopped by two knights and received an order to proceed no further and return immediately to own diocese in Canterbury. Becket did as he was told, and on his return passed some days at his manor of Harrow, where he kept great hospitality. During this time he exchanged presents with Symond, the abbot of St. Albans, the neighbouring monastery. Symond also invited him to stay at St. Albans for Christmas, but Becket declined the offer. He had returned by way of Harrow probably to deal with the case of a refractory priest [Nigel de Sackville, vicar of Harrow], who had occupied this post without his consent and had refused access to his officials. Symond had probably been consulted by Becket about this. Nigel de Sackville was later, when he was back at Canterbury, excommunicated by Becket for his offence.

St Mary’s Church. This is on the site of a hilltop settlement and may be a pagan religious centre. The church was the most important in Middlesex and a peculiar of the Archbishops of Canterbury. Its spire can be seen from miles around. Lanfranc, Archbishop of Canterbury, began construction here in 1087 but all that remains is the lower section of the tower.

Battle Abbey Case (1157)

May 1157 Henry II held a trial at Colchester Abbey concerning the right of the pope to overrule him on matters of religion. This was a case of the bishop of Chichester versus the abbot of Battle Abbey.

In 1070 William the Conqueror had founded Battle Abbey, a new monastery at the site of the Battle of Hastings, partly as a penance for the deaths which had happened in the battle and partly as a memorial to those who had died. He ordered a special charter to be drawn up which exempted Battle Abbey in certain matters from the authority of the local diocesan bishop, Chichester. In this manner he had granted it special Royal Peculiar status.

The abbot of Battle Abbey was Walter de Lucy, brother of king Henry II's Chief Justiciar, Richard de Lucy. Walter had applied to his brother Richard to have his abbey's full set of privileges confirmed . Hilary, bishop of Chichester had applied to Theobald, the archbishop of Canterbury, to have his episcopal rights enforced. The king summoned a full council of the Curia Regis, a Magnum Concilium, to hear the case.

The case discussed here had originally begun during king Stephen's reign. And was continued afterwards, in May 1157 at Colchester Abbey, after Henry II had succeeded to the throne. Walter, the abbot of Battle Abbey, argued for the Royal Peculiar status of his abbey and its autonomy from the bishop. Hilary, the bishop of Chichester, who also happened to be an expert in canon law, declared that the king did not have any right to exempt an abbey from ecclesiastical authority and episcopal oversight without having first obtained the pope's consent. He argued that the abbey could not have any such privilege, and neither could the king confer any such exemption, unless he had first got a necessary and special licence from the pope allowing him to do so. Bishop Hilary had excommunicated the abbot Walter. Henry was horrified at this and was short-tempered with the bishop. What right did the pope (and his bishop) have to interfere and decide such matters in his kingdom? He felt that he was full well within his royal prerogative and rights to decide this particular case on his own without any intercession from outside.

The case had taken place in a Royal Court [Curia Regis and Magnum Concilium] instead of an Ecclesiatical Court, which it should have done. Forged charters aided the decision to exempt the Abby from episcopal control.

 During the deliberations, Thomas Becket, who was Henry's chancellor at the time, was one of chief contenders against Hilary's claim and gained a reputation for being anti-ecclesiastical as a consequence. Eventually, the case was decided in favour of the abbot by inducing and persuading Hilary into accepting the king's authority and his relinquishing any canonical rights that he might have had over the abbey. Becket had helped the king win his case against the Church, Canon Law and Papal Authority.

Medieval Cathedrals of England



Canterbury Cathedral from Monasticon Anglicanum by William Dugdale 

The Church in England as an institution is rather unique in Europe. Its cathedrals tended to be organised as monasteries rather than as secular cathedrals with  chapters of canons. The Church in England was much reorganised after the Conquest. Many of the seats of bishops were moved to centres of a higher population.

Dorchester-upon-Thames > Lincoln [1072]
Selsey > Chichester [1075]
Sherborne > Old Sarum [Salisbury] [1078]
Elmham > Norwich [1094]


Many of the new Norman lords founded new churches to expiate their sins. Indeed the Conquest had been fought with the Church in Rome on the side of William. Many new ecclesiastical  foundations had their parent in Normandy or France. Many of these new abbeys, priories and the cathedrals were given Norman or French bishops, abbots or priors who were quite efficient at recovering or retaining the properties of their institutions..

Archbishop Lanfranc drew up the rules which governed the life of the monk in monasatic cathedrals. 

Secular Cathedrals

These are those which were ruled by secular canons headed by a dean.

Before the Reformation, the following nine English cathedrals were staffed by ‘secular’ clergy (i.e. clergy who were not members of religious orders): Chichester, Exeter, Hereford, Lichfield, Lincoln, London (St Paul’s), Salisbury, Wells, York. The canons of these Old Foundation cathedrals were also prebendaries – i.e. their income came from individual endowments (‘prebends’), consisting of lands and the right to collect rents, fees and tithes from parishes. The number of prebends ranged from 22 (Wells) to 58 (Lincoln).

The chief dignitaries in each cathedral – the quattuor personae  the 4 ‘cornerstones’ of their spiritual and material fabric – were the dean, the precentor (who ranked next after the dean, the chancellor and the treasurer. Each of these commonly had a deputy (respectively, the sub-dean, the succentor, the vice-chancellor and the sacrist).

Secular cathedral government was new to England. William the Conqueror's curial bishop, St. Osmund, left a written constitution for his cathedral of Salisbury [Old Sarum]. This document provided the model for the 'foursquare' constitution of the English secular cathedrals of the Old Foundation. It was based on the four great dignitaries of a secular cathedral: dean, precentor, chancellor, and treasurer, each of whom had their stalls at the four corners of the choir.

Archdeacons were sometimes also prebendaries and commonly also had stalls in choir next to those of the great officers. A small number of the prebendaries (varying from four to eight, but generally six or seven) were designated as residentiary canons and required to reside at the cathedral for part of the year; these had a share in the common funds of the cathedral in addition to their individual prebends.

It is statistically significant that the three (arch)bishops who opposed Becket, Roger Pont d'Eveque [York], Gilbert Foliot [London], Joscelin [Salisbury] were  (arch)bishops of secular cathedrals; and were possible more beholden for their positions to the king.

Cathedral Priories

These are those which were ruled by monastic orders headed by a prior.

The other ten pre-Reformation English cathedrals were monastic foundations  - cathedral priories. Nine of these were Benedictine priories and one (Carlisle ) was a priory of Augustinian canons. The priories were headed by a prior, with a sub-prior to perform his duties when he was absent (at Durham there was a third and at Canterbury and Winchester a third and a fourth prior). Responsibility for various aspects of the cathedral priory’s life rested with up to twenty-five ‘obedientiaries’ including the sacristan or sacrist, precentor and receiver, and their assistants or subordinates such as the sub-sacrist and the succentor.

In the case of a monastic foundation, the bishop was technically the 'abbot' of the 'monastery', but for day to day purposes his subordinate, the prior was the leader of the monks.

Province of York

The ecclesiastical province of York almost coincides with the Danelaw territory and the Viking ruled areas of England prior to Canute. A large part of it was "harried" (reduced to waste land) by William the Conqueror.
