Archdeacon Edward Irons notes -
Rutland Village Studies Group
The
publication
of
the
notes
of
Archdeacon
Edward
Irons
(1851-1923)
by
the
Rutland Village
Studies
Group
should
prove
of
tremendous
interest
to
local
historians
and
genealogists.
This
website
reproduces
transcriptions
and
images
of
Irons’s
notes
on
ecclesiastical
court
cases,
bishops’
visitations
and
the
parish
records
of
Rutland,
dealing
with thousands of individuals stretching back to the sixteenth century.
Days of Shaking - 17th c Families
-
Sue Howlett
Since
completing
an
MA
dissertation
entitled
‘Conscience,
Kinship
and
Community:
Allegiance
in
Rutland
1630-1660’
(University
of
Leicester,
1991),
Sue
Howlett
had
always
hoped
to
compile
a
book
using
and
expanding
this
research.
She
even
had
a
title:
‘Days
of
Shaking:
Rutland
families
in
times
of
conflict,
1600-1660’
-
the
quotation
coming
from
a
notorious,
published
sermon
preached
to
the
House
of
Commons
in
1643
by
Jeremiah
Whitaker,
formerly
Rector
of
Stretton
in
Rutland.
However,
a
move
to
Essex
in
2006
meant
that this work has remained unfinished.
Population of Rutland Parishes 1795-2001-
Peter Tomalin & Mike Frisby
The
population
of
each
parish
in
Rutland
in
1795
is
taken
from
the
Gentleman’s
Magazine
1795
ii
page
650.
The source
of
these
data
is
not
given
in
the
magazine.
The
figures
for
the
period
1801-1831
are
shown
in
a
table
in
the
Social
and
Economic
section
of
volume
I
of
the
Victoria
County
History
of
Rutland
(VCH).
In
order
to
provide
a
more
complete
record
of
the
parish
populations,
figures
from
the
national
census
returns
for
the
period
1911-2001
have
been
added
to
the
earlier
data.
The
changes
in
population
for
each
parish
over
the
period
1801-2001
have
also
been
presented
in
graphical
form.
The
reasons for some of the variations in population have been proposed.

Sarah Ogden's diary 1842-51 Leicester, Uppingham and Grantham
Nigel Webb
Sarah
Ogden
(1817-95)
was
a
daughter
of
Benjamin
Cort,
a
prosperous
ironfounder
of
Leicester,
and
was
brought
up
in
a
fine
eight
bedroom
house
in
Welford
Place.
Her
diary
starts
with
her
marriage
in
1842
to
her
first
cousin
Benjamin
Cort
Ogden,
an
employee
of
a
Leicester
bank.
The
bank’s
collapse
the
following
year,
however,
led
to
Ogden’s
appointment
as
manager
of
the
Stamford,
Spalding
and
Boston
Banking
Co.
in
Uppingham,
where
they
lived
for
the
next
five
years.
In
1848,
he
opened
a
branch
of
that
bank
in
Grantham,
where
they
settled.
Sarah’s
diary
ends
in
1851
when
they
were
living
at
18, High Street, Grantham with a groom and two servants. The Ogdens were a prosperous
middle
class
couple,
had
no
children
and
were
Strict
Baptists;
the
diary
gives
a
vivid
picture of their social life in Leicester, Uppingham and Grantham.
Local History Sources of Information
-
Nigel Webb
The
intention
of
this
list
of
possible
sources
is
to
provide
starting
points
for
researchers.
Do
not
be
put
off
by
the
length
of
the
list:
you
will
probably
need
only
a
fraction
of
it.
For
the
primary
sources
–
original
documents
or
transcriptions
of
these
–
efforts
have
been
made
to
include
everything
which
might
be
productive.
If
you
know
of
or
find
further
such
sources
which
should
be
on
this
list,
please
tell
the
Langham
Village
History
Group
archivist
so
that
they
can
be
added.
If
you
find
a
source
that
we
have
given
particularly
productive,
please
tell
us
what
needs
it
has
satisfied;
if
you
are
convinced
that
it
is
a
waste
of
time,
please
tell
us
this
too!
For
the
secondary
sources
–
books,
journals
and
internet
sites
–
we
have
tried
to
include
just
enough
useful
ones,
whatever
aspect
of
Langham
history
that
you
might
wish
to
investigate.
However,
we
realise
that
there
is
then
a
danger
of the list looking discouragingly long.
Buildings and People of a Rutland Manor -
Rosemary Canadine, Vanessa Doe, Nick Hill, Robert Ovens & Christopher Thornton
Although
this
book
is
principally
concerned
with
the
people
and
buildings
of
a
Rutland
Manor
between
the
late
sixteenth
and
late
eighteenth
centuries,
a
summary
of
earlier
developments
helps
to
explain
the
origins
of
local
settlement,
and
patterns
of
social
and
economic life, and enables the significance of later changes to be more fully assessed.
