A complete transcription of the Lambeth Library MS 1126. Lambeth
Library MS 1126 was compiled, probably in late 1663, on behalf of
Gilbert Sheldon, the new archbishop of Canterbury, as a conspectus
of the parishes of Canterbury diocese and the archiepiscopal
peculiars. A number of entries contain illuminating comments on the
religious complexion of the parish, relating to both its incumbents
and leading laity, of a type not found elsewhere for the 1660s. Its
value for historians is twofold: first, the light it throws on the
restoration of the episcopalian Church of England in the early
1660s. Notwithstanding the Act of Uniformity enforced at St
Bartholomew's Day 1662, it is abundantly clear from this Catalogue
that the Church of England remained divided and unsettled in the
parishes, at least in Canterbury diocese. Second, the Catalogue is
of interest for the administrative processes it records, as an
incoming archbishop, necessarily non-resident, sought to become
acquainted with the clergy and prominent laity in the parishes,
information which was then updated over the next twenty years. In
this respect, the Catalogue adumbrates the more routine and fuller
collection of information about the parishes in the
eighteenth-century church. A few of the comments in the Catalogue
have already been referred to by historians, but this complete
transcription has allowed in-depth analysis and concludes that
Canterbury diocese must have experienced many more ejections of
clergy than has previously been recognized, pointing to a need for
more detailed examination of events in other dioceses.
