Social networks. families and neighbourhoods: brancepeth parish in the seventeenth century
No full textBrancepeth parish is situated in County Durham in the north of England. In the seventeenth century the parish contained seven townships. This study questions the Idea of the parish as a single social community by examining social networks between families living within the different townships of the parish. The study is based on a Family Reconstitution which was undertaken in order to reconstruct the life-cycles of family groups who lived in the farms and villages of Brancepeth parish in the seventeenth century. Wills, inventories, land records, the Hearth Tax and a church seating plan have been used to assess the kinds of families represented by the Family Reconstitution in Brancepeth. The scale and structure of social interactions between families have been investigated using Ucinet social network analysis software. The networks analysed were based on witnessing wills, appraising inventories, loans of money made on trust, kinship and surnames. The results clearly point to the existence of a number of social communities within the parish population, the importance of neighbours, and the presence of kin within the neighbourhood. The findings of this study are discussed in the context of the economic structure of the parish, the influence of recusancy, and the history and culture of the population. The study concludes that Brancepeth parish in the seventeenth century had many of the features of a traditional medieval society, in an early modern world

Religion and society in the parish of Halifax, c. 1740-1914
No full textMost recent studies of religion and society have focussed on
the period from c. 1880 to 1914, basing their investigations
upon late-Victorian newspaper censuses of churchgoing. This
thesis aims to study the development of religion in its
economic and social context in a large northern industrial
parish over a longer period of time from c. 1740 to 1914. In
religious terms this period extends from the mid-eighteenth
century Evangelical Revival to the decline of organised
religion in the early twentieth century. In economic and
social terms the period is characterised by the transformation
of the parish from a semi-rural, proto-industrial society
dominated by a relatively small but expanding market town, into
a predominantly urban advanced industrial society dominated by
a medium-sized textile manufacturing town and several smaller
urban centres of textile production; supporting a wide
diversity of associated industries and trades, but still
containing within its boundaries sharply contrasting urban and
semi-rural environments.
The thesis aims to assess how religious expression within the
parish of Halifax was affected by the changing economic and
social environment, in particular the urban-industrial
experience, and how religion helped shape the new urbanindustrial
society during the period from the middle of the
eighteenth century to the outbreak of the First World War. It
argues that whilst the pessimistic view of a moribund Georgian
Church of England can no longer be sustained by the Halifax
evidence, the Established Church nevertheless lacked the
logistical resources to respond effectively to the new urbanindustrial
society as it emerged within the parish in the lateeighteenth
and early-nineteenth centuries, providing an
opportunity for the growth of Evangelical Nonconformity,
especially Methodism. It maintains that Evangelical
Nonconformity and an Anglican Church renewed by Evangelical
incumbencies during the period 1790-1827 and reformed as a consequence of national legislation in the 1840s played a vital
role within the expanding urban-industrial society, surviving
the experience of industrialisation and urbanisation and
displaying a remarkable vibrancy, despite underlying downward
trends in churchgoing in the late-Victorian era. It suggests
that the causes of the decline of organised religion during
this period were complex, but related more to the onset of
industrial-urban stagnation and decline than to the experience
of industrial-urban expansion

Sacred baroque architecture and furniture in the parish of Sevnica
No full textPredmet pričujočega magistrskega dela je baročna sakralna arhitektura in oprema v župniji Sevnica, ki je največja župnija po številu cerkva v celjski škofiji, saj šteje poleg župnijske cerkve še trinajst podružničnih cerkva. Ker je zelo malo strokovne literature o omenjeni župniji in njenih cerkvah, sem se odločila, da skušam to vrzel zapolniti s tem magistrskim delom.
Magistrsko delo je razdeljeno na dva dela. Prvi del vsebuje topografski popis podružničnih cerkva, in sicer: sv. Florijana v starem mestnem jedru, Matere Božje v Šmarju, sv. Ane nad Šmarjem, sv. Roka nad Sevnico, sv. Martina v Lamperčah, sv. Lovrenca na Žabjeku, sv. Urha na Gornjem Brezovem, sv. Janeza na Dolnjem Brezovem, sv. Benedikta na Žigrskem Vrhu, sv. Štefana v Vranju, sv. Neže v Zagradcu in Marije Vnebovzete na Grački gori. V drugem delu je poudarek na baročni arhitekturi in opremi – njihovi dataciji, avtorstvu ipd. Ker ni veliko virov in literature, smo narejene primerjave s sosednjimi župnijami ter sevniško sakralno umetnost skušali umestiti v širši okvir slovenske baročne sakralne umetnosti.
Anica Cevc je pripisala dve sliki s stranskih oltarjev v cerkvi sv. Roka nad Sevnico slikarju Valentinu Metzingerju. Cilj magistrske naloge je ugotoviti avtorstvo ter datacijo vse baročne opreme v podružničnih cerkvah župnije Sevnica. Izkazalo se je, da ne moremo z gotovostjo trditi, za katero umetniško roko gre pri posamezni podružnici, vendar lahko govorimo o nekaterih sorodnostih. Vemo, da je bila Sevnica podružnica videmske pražupnije in posledično pod okriljem kostanjeviškega samostana, zato smo morebitne povezave iskali tudi pri sosednjih župnijah.The subject of this Master’s thesis is sacred baroque architecture and furniture in the parish of Sevnica, which is the largest parish by the number of churches in the diocese of Celje, since it has thirteen branch churches in addition to the parish church. Because there is very little professional literature about the discussed parish and its churches, I decided to fill this gap with this Master’s thesis.
The Master’s thesis is divided into two parts. The first part contains a topographic census of the following branch churches: St. Florian in the old town centre, Mother of God in Šmarje, St. Anna above Šmarje, St. Rok above Sevnica, St. Martin in Lamperče, St. Lawrence at Žabjek, St. Urh at Gornje Brezovo, St. John at Dolnje Brezovo, St. Benedict at Žigrski Vrh, St. Stephan in Vranje, St. Neža in Zagradec and St. Marry at Gračka gora. The second part emphasises baroque architecture and furniture – its dating, authorship etc. Because there are not many sources and literature, we compared the parish of Sevnica with neighbouring parishes and tried to place the sacred art of Sevnica into a wider framework of the Slovenian sacred baroque art.
Anica Cevc has assigned two paintings from the side altars in the Church of st. Rok above Sevnica to the painter Valentin Metzinger. The aim of the Master’s thesis is to determine the authorship and dating of all the baroque furniture in branch churches of the parish of Sevnica. It turned out that we cannot say with certainty, whose artistic hand was involved in individual branches, but we can point out some similarities. We know that Sevnica was a branch of the grand parish of Videm and consequently under the auspices of the monastery of Kostanjevicatherefore, we were also looking for possible connections in neighbouring parishes
