Conflicts within the established church in Warwickshire c. 1603-1642
Full text linkThis thesis examines the established church in Warwickshire from the
accession of James I to the outbreak of the English civil war. Its
principal aim is to assess the impact of the ecclesiastical policies
of Charles I, which have been the subject of considerable debate
between historians in recent years.
The thesis argues that significant changes occurred in the local
church during the 1630s. These were broadly in line with the
policies of Archbishop William Laud, who sought to promote an
institutional and sacramental style of worship, and to suppress the
activity of Protestant nonconformists. In Warwickshire, these
policies led to the promotion of ceremonial religion and the
renovation and redecoration of parish churches. There was also an
increase in the prosecution of Puritans in the church courts.
However, the success of these policies was limited by various
factors: the attitudes of the local bishops, the practical problems
of enforcing discipline, and the resilience of the Puritan community.
The thesis examines the impact of Laud's policies on the county as a
whole, and on particular groups within the local church. It also
presents case-studies of religion in the towns of Coventry and
Stratford-upon-Avon. The thesis concludes that the ecclesiastical
policies of the 1630s were largely counter-productive: they provoked
the hostility of local Puritans, but failed to curb their activities.
The experience of "Laudianism" also encouraged demands for thorough
reform in the established church, which were translated into support
for parliament at the beginning of the civil war

The diocese of Coventry and Lichfield, 1603-1642
Full text linkThis thesis investigates religious life among the clergy and laity in the diocese of
Lichfield, 1603-1642, including the role of Puritans, Catholics and Church
Papists. Nicholas Tyacke has maintained that the implementation of Laudianism
in Charles I's reign proved contentious, an interpretation criticised by some
historians who aver that the Church continued to maintain a 'middle way'. This
study finds that the evidence from the diocese largely supports Tyacke's
interpretation.
Proto-Laudian reforms were implemented in the see some years before the
Laudian ascendancy through the episcopates of Neile and Overall. Every bishop
in the period who undertook a programme of reform met local hostility and
indifference, and sometimes the opposition of his ecclesiastical and lay superiors.
Every religious group underwent change and development. Puritans and
Catholics pursued strategies for survival, supported by their respective religious
networks. Official opposition often had the effect of strengthening their resolve
and confirming them in their beliefs. Local conformists' commitment to the
established Church deepened during this period. They respected the Church's role
as the official purveyor of religion, morality and the ecclesiastical rites of passage,
without evidencing much theological understanding.
In the 1630s Bishop Wright oversaw the Laudian programme of
sacramental, sacerdotal and liturgical reform, but his lack of organisation, zeal and
commitment frustrated Charles, Laud and some local diocesan officials. The
changes met resistance, which gathered strength with the collapse of the Personal
Rule and manifested itself either in a desire to return to the pre-Laudian Church,
or in its root and branch reform. The strength of an individual's anti-Catholicism
indicated which religious solution s/he supported. When war came, for the most
part Puritans predictably supported Parliament, but a number of moderate Puritans
supported the King. Even among the 'godly' fraternity allegiance could
sometimes be determined by a variety of considerations

'Destructive and formidable': British infantry firepower, 1642-1765
No full textThis work is an examination of the effectiveness of British infantry firepower from 1642 to 1765, it establishes the manner in which that firepower was organised and managed and how it developed. In order to achieve this it has been necessary to develop and propose a new approach to the study of military history; practical military history, which uses a thorough understanding of the practices and procedures of the army to interpret and analyse contemporary writings on the subject. In doing so it has been possible to identify and analyse the effectiveness of the tactical doctrine and combat techniques of British infantry during the English Civil Wars and then to trace a continuous line of development of doctrine and technique from then until 1765, in the immediate aftermath of the Seven Years War, when this study concludes. It has also been possible to analyse the battlefield effectiveness of those techniques and to identify previously unrecognised aspects of them. It has also been possible to correct some long held misconceptions and to pinpoint times when key changes were brought about, such as the introduction of the organisation of platoons into firings. As well as identifying, for the first time, a single underlying tactical doctrine it has also been possible to clarify the manner in which the methods used to execute that doctrine changed

Leicestershire's Royalist officers and their war effort in the county
No full textPopular religion, culture and politics in the Midlands, c. 1638-1646
Full text linkThis thesis is a study of popular allegiance in five
midland counties during the English Civil War, 1642-
1646. It considers the relationship between allegiance
and popular religion and culture. It aims to provide a
regional case study of popular reactions to the war,
with particular reference to recent theories of
allegiance, which have emphasised the role played by
religion and culture.
Although the approach is broadly chronological,
religion and culture are discussed mainly in the first
half of the thesis, and popular allegiance in the
second.
Chapter One surveys popular religion and culture in
the region from c. 1603 to 1638. Chapter Two
characterises popular politics on the eve of the Civil
War. Chapter Three deals with popular religion and
culture in the late 1630s and during the war. In
particular, it considers whether or not distinct
cultural regions had evolved by this time, and the
nature and extent of popular puritanism and
'Anglicanism'.
Chapter Four provides a narrative of military
events in the region during the war, and discusses the
impact of the conflict on civilian communities. Chapter
Five describes the geographical pattern of allegiance,
through an analysis of military recruitment and
civilian reactions. Chapter Six considers what factors
may have motivated popular responses to the war.
It is argued that there was often a positive
response to the war, and that we must seek a multicausal
explanation of this phenomenon. In particular,
religio-cultural factors were a major influence. But it
is argued that religlo-cultural and societal factors
only partly explain the complex pattern of allegiance
that emerged. Emphasis is placed on the role of local,
contingent factors such as the distribution and
influence of propaganda, and the impact of plunder,
extortion and other products of a war which intruded
into most communities in the region
