Title: Durham Cathedral Library Additional Manuscripts
Dates of creation: c.1400 - 2002
Extent: 16 metres
Held by: Durham University Library, Archives and Special Collections
Origination: A variety of individual items and small groups of material about, concerning or produced by Durham cathedral and people associated with it.
Language: English
with some Latin and occasional French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Danish, Chinese and Russian.
Much of the material concerns, directly or indirectly, the running of Durham cathedral and its environs, and the people responsible. Some of the material reflects other aspects of the lives of people linked with the cathedral, such as sermons
delivered elsewhere or correspondence unrelated to the cathedral. Yet more material is unrelated to the cathedral and has perhaps been acquired through an antiquarian interest or given to the cathedral by local persons.
Much of the material is personal writings in the form of correspondence, journals, sermons or lectures. There are quantities of photographs and some collections of newspaper cuttings, and even cassettes and gramophone records.
Individual items and groups of material presented to Durham Cathedral Library as indicated; some have no provenance details and are recorded as and where found. The series seems to have been begun in the early 20th century but most of the
material has come in since c.1960. Most of the material has been “presented”.
From December 1959, some of the material then present in the Cathedral Library was assigned accession numbers (recorded in LIB 5/6). Material received thenceforward was accessioned in the accession register LIB 5/4, but almost no additional
manuscript material appears in this register after the end of 1963 and such accessioning details as there are come from the items themselves.
Owned by Durham Cathedral, transferred into custody of Durham University Library at 5 The College, July 2016 (accession Misc.2013/14:66)
As individually indicated, mostly reflecting duplicate and subsequent renumbering of items.
Open for consultation.
Permission to make any published use of material from the collection must be sought in advance from the Reprographics Officer at Durham Cathedral Library (library@durhamcathedral.co.uk). The Library will assist where possible with identifying
copyright owners, but responsibility for ensuring copyright clearance rests with the user of the material.
In 2003, there appeared to be more than one sequence of additional manuscripts numbers. Occasionally different items had the same “Add Ms” number, a few had a “U Add Ms” number, and
a few more had a pencilled number within a circle. Efforts to discern the logic or establish the history of these different sequences having been unsuccessful, it was decided to have just one continuous sequence, preserving original numbers
whereever possible but renumbering where necessitated by duplication. Occasional items which fitted in with another sequence within the Cathedral Library were removed and some groups of material were brought together (such as the Rowlandson
collection at Add Ms 74). The sequence is very roughly, but only very roughly, in chronological accession order, which should more consistently be the case henceforth (from 2005). From 2018, the collection is referenced “CADD” to distinguish it more clearly from the
Durham University Library Additional Manuscripts (“Add.MS.”).
Accruals at the end of the sequence are expected.
The cassette tapes at CADD 356-358 and the gramophone records at CADD 359-360 require specialist equipment to access them; a cassette player may be found in the searchroom at the Durham University Palace Green Library.

Letters from Robert Boothe (1666-1730), archdeacon of Durham (collated 15 May 1691) and dean of Bristol (from 1708), to his official, Posthumus Smith (1676-1725, commissary-general and official of the archdeacon of Durham and registrar to the
dean and chapter of Durham), with several enclosures and other letters to Smith.
The letters largely concern the administration of Boothe's estates at Easington in particular and also Archdeacon Newton covering exacting rents, renewing and adding lives to leases, repairs to buildings and selling off Boothe's effects at
Easington. Other topics include: Boothe's reluctance to travel north from Bristol; the holding of his visitations, frequently by Smith, and occasional other business of his archdeaconry; work on Bristol deanery and occasional other comments on life
in Bristol; the weather; Boothe's health, especially his gout; occasional comments on the royal Court, elections and national affairs such as the Treaty of Utrecht and the 1715 Jacobite rebellion; the receipt and encashing of Smith's bills; Boothe's
curates at Easington, the unsatisfactory Mr Richardson and the rather better Mr Dunn; occasional comments on the bishops of Durham; and the procurement of wigs and books for Boothe. Until March 1709 the letters are mostly written from Chester, and
thereafter from Bristol. Letters other than Boothe to Smith include:
31. William Hales to Posthumus Smith, 27 April 1708 about accounts.
68. Note of the yearly value of Mr. Marshall's estate at Archdeacon Newton, Co. Durham.

Album of letters mainly addressed to John Arthur Douglas Bloomfield, 2nd Baron Bloomfield (1802-1879, diplomatist, attaché at Vienna from 1818, and thence served in Lisbon (1824), Stuttgart (1825), Stockholm (1826), St Petersburg (1839), Berlin
(1851) and Vienna (1860), retiring in 1871 as ambassador there, 2nd Baron Bloomfield in the peerage of Ireland from 1846 and created Baron Bloomfield in the peerage of the United Kingdom in 1871), with a smaller quantity addressed to Arthur Penrhyn
Stanley (1815-1881), Dean of Westminster.
The album was probably assembled by Lord Bloomfield's wife Georgiana (1822-1905, née Liddell, 16th daughter of Thomas Henry Liddell, 1st Baron Ravensworth, maid of honour to Queen Victoria 1841 till, on her marriage in 1845, she moved to Russia).
Although arranged in the form of an autograph album, the letters are of considerable interest for their content as well as their signatures. Many of those to Lord Bloomfield touch on matters of diplomacy, while those to Dean Stanley shed light on
late 19th century church affairs.

CADD 87 1801 - 1902
Album of letters, signatures, envelopes, concert programmes, menus, invites etc. (some only loosely inserted) assembled by Georgiana, Baroness Bloomfield (1822-1905, née Liddell, daughter of 1st Baron Ravensworth and wife of the diplomat, John
Arthur Douglas Bloomfield, 2nd Baron Bloomfield).
Although asembled in the form of an autograph album, many of the letters hold significant interest for their contents as well as their signatures (e.g. no.137, a letter from Charles Dickens commenting on the way in which Edward Bulwer Lytton, 1st
Earl of Lytton, had influenced the ending of
Great Expectations, or no.194, a letter from Liszt with a short autograph piece of music, or no.201A, a sketch plan of the battle of Balaclava by Lord Cardigan). Family connections as well as her husbands's diplomatic
career gave Lady Bloomfield a wide acquaintance among the most eminent people of the day, both in Britain and abroad and much of the material is correspondence generated in the course of that career. Internal evidence in the album reveals that she
also actively solicited contributions to her collection of autographs, both autographs and letters, from appropriately distinguished people. Item 1, and some indications in other letters, suggest that some of the material was supplied by her niece,
Edith, Lady Lytton, wife of 1st Earl of Lytton. The material comes generally from Lady Bloomfield's time as maid of honour to Queen Victoria (December 1841 to July 1845), as a diplomat's wife in St Petersburg (1845-1851), Berlin (1851-1860) and
Vienna (1860-1871). Her husband retired in 1871 and died in 1879 but Lady Bloomfield continued to collect material up to her own death in 1905. Dating of undated material has often been attempted on the basis of when a certain person may thus have
come within Lady Bloomfield's milieu.
The material is generally grouped by category of author [in Lady Bloomfield's arrangement); the authors include the following (a far from complete list) :
Literary authors: Hans Anderson, Mathew Arnold, Thomas Carlyle, Charles Dickens, Maria Edgeworth, Edward Bulwer Lytton, Hannah More, Sydney Smith, Alfred Tennyson, William Wordsworth.

CADD 199-202 (Woodness MSS)Reference: 4 volumesDates of creation: early 19th century
Extent:
An antiquarian's collection of transcriptions, extracts and notes relating to the cathedral, city and county of Durham. Woodness was especially interested in the history of his home town (Durham) - of which he was a freeman - and of its civic
institutions and guilds. He collected some documents from his own time, but his writings largely take the form of descriptions of Durham's buildings, topography, institutions and governance, without perhaps the focus on its ecclesiastical aspects of
some of his fellow antiquarians. He compiled a much expanded version of the 1767 edition of
Rites of Durham and also went some way to preparing his own history of Durham for possible publication (Add Ms 200), for which Add Mss 201 and 202 provide much of the draft material.
Arranged in the arbitrary order of the volume numbering.
Thomas Woodness's antiquarian tastes were formed in boyhood at Durham School (King's Scholar from 1760) where he came under the influence of the antiquarian Rev Thomas Randall. In adult life, Woodness in turn encouraged Matthew Thompson whose
artistic talents he used to illustrate some of his compilations; they became quite a partnership around Durham as Woodness knew Latin but could not draw, and Thompson
vice versa. Woodness was also one of Robert Surtees's
informants, spending an annual holiday at his Mainsforth residence, and contributing especially to volume 4 of his work. Woodness was a small shopkeeper and woollen-draper in Durham. He later suffered financial ruin through the failure of a bank and
ended his days in poverty in Sherburn Hospital where he was appointed a brother on 24 May 1820.
Bought from the widow of James Wall, precentor of Durham Cathedral, by Durham Dean and Chapter in 1963.
Robert Surtees bought Woodness's manuscripts from an illegitimate son in Durham after Woodness's death and arranged them in 8 volumes. The first 4 of these comprise the present collection which were acquired at a later date by James Wall,
precentor of Durham Cathedral 1932-1935.

John Mitchinson's
“Durham Churches”. Notes and descriptions of the older churches in Durham diocese, embellished with some pencil and occasionally watercolour sketches of features and a few of W. Davison of Alnwick's 1824/6
engravings of churches. Originally compiled by Mitchinson (1833-1918) when at Durham School and during vacations from Oxford 1845-1856, and subsequently revised up to c.1900. There are also 2 sections, each ordered alphabetically, of photographs of
the churches, almost all undated but probably of the late 1800s and up to c.1910. The descriptions have been cross-referenced to both sets of photographs.

William Jones was an architectural pupil of C. Hodgson Fowler. He resided in Durham at 43 North Bailey. He produced various reports on the city's architecture including
“Durham and its Future” and “The Walls and Towers of Durham”. He wrote on Durham Castle in the
Victoria County History and published a report on it
with F. Fox in 1925. He served as president of the Northern Architectural Association, vice-president of the Northumberland and Durham Architectural and Archaeological Society and as a member of the Council of the Royal Institute of British
Architects.
In an envelope addressed to Dr C. Adamson of 10 S. Bailey, Durham, postmarked 2 August 1965
Some sorting into alphabetical order of correspondent by ?R.C. Norris had been carried out, with the correspondent identified, a few details about the correspondent and a single running number added. 1 item was numbered as
“Add Ms 211/8”, but another item was already 211, so the collection has been numbered as 237 and re-sorted wholly into chronological order (June 2004).
Durham University Library ASC, Durham Castle building archive has many plans of Willam Jones for his work at Durham Castle. There is also a collection of 125 slides of his work on the castle (Durham University Library ASC, W.T. Jones lantern

(clergyman), Eric Dawson (clergyman)) and the work of his wife as president of the Durham Diocese Mothers' Union. Most of the cuttings are from Durham papers -
The Durham County Advertiser,
Durham Chronicle and the
Durham University Journal - with some Bradford, Yorkshire and national papers also included, and the
Church Family News and
The Record. Occasional letters, telegrams, service papers, invites and programmes are inserted. The paper, date and occasional comments are recorded by [Dawson

Canon Dawson Dawson-Walker (1868-1934) was born in Bradford as Dawson Walker, the son of Richard Felvus Walker. He was educated at the grammar school there and won an open classical scholarship to Corpus Christi College, Oxford, taking his B.A.
in 1891. He went on to gain the degrees of M.A. (1894), B.D. (1901) and D.D. (1905) from Oxford and (
ad eundem) Durham. He was ordained deacon in 1892 and priest in 1893 in Ripon diocese and served as a curate in
Bradford from 1892. He began his career at Durham University in 1893, becoming a lecturer in classics then, followed by posts as chaplain to University College in 1895, theological tutor in 1898, and censor of the unattached students in 1901. He was
appointed Professor of Biblical Exegesis and chaplain to St Hild's College in 1910 and served as Principal of St John's College from 1912 until 1919 when he was appointed Professor of Divinity and Ecclesiastical History and a canon of Durham
Cathedral. He wrote
The Gift of Tongues (1906),
St Paul's Letters to Corinth (1909),
The Epistle to the Colossians and the Epistle to Titus (1926) and was co-editor of
English Church Manuals and
The Churchman from 1910 to 1914. He also served as examining chaplain to the bishop of Durham from 1909 and the bishop of Sodor and Man 1912-1925, commissary to
the archbishop of Sydney (1910) and in Durham served as chaplain to the Durham County Hospital (1901) and the Durham Corporation (1918). He married in 1899 Mary Maud Jane, daughter of E.H. Featherston. He was known for an evangelical outlook and was
popular amongst sections of the non-conformist community, having taught in his pre-Oxford days in the Eastbrook Wesleyan Sunday Schools in Bradford. He changed his name from Dawson Walker to Dawson Dawson-Walker by deed poll on 16 January 1925.

Thomas Cradock was the grandson of John Cradock (d.1627), vicar of Gainford, Woodhorn and Northallerton, canon of Durham, spiritual chancellor of Durham and archdeacon of Northumberland. His father was Sir Joseph Cradock of Harperley (d.1686),
lawyer and commissary of Richmond. Thomas was his only surviving son. He was also a lawyer, a fellow of Trinity Hall Cambridge and had become attorney general of the diocese of Durham in 1664 and commissary of Richmond archdeaconry in 1680. In
addition to his father's inheritance, he received Woodhouses colliery, subject to a small annuity to John Cradock, and the butlerage or pipage on all wines imported by sea into Cumberland, Westmorland, Northumberland, Durham and Yorkshire (bought by
his father for the lifetime of his then two sons). Thomas also did well out of his marriages to first Sibella Clarke (d.1669), coheiress of Dr Gabriel Clarke archdeacon of Durham and master of Greatham, and then Dorothy Heath (d.1709), daughter of
Nicholas Heath of Little Eden. His children, Betty and Joseph, predeceased him. He was buried in Durham Cathedral on 28 February 1689.
With no direct descendants, he drew up his will to benefit a variety of relatives and associates, creating complications which his executors struggled to cope with. The beneficiaries of his will were:
1. His widow, Dorothy, who had his estates at Bradley, Gainford and Quarry Hill in Brancepeth with £500 for herself and her relations.
2. Relatives of his eldest sister Elizabeth (d.1678), wife to Ralph Hutton of Mainsforth (d.1680): £50 to William Boutflower, widower of their eldest daughter Elizabeth; £50 to his daughter Elizabeth; £100 each to Frances and Anne Hutton.
3. His next sister Margaret (died after 1693) wife of Ralph Bowes of Bradley; £50 to George, their eldest son; £100 each to his daughters Margaret and Mary.
4. A small legacy to the stepdaughter of his youngest sister Anne, second wife to Thomas Musgrave, dean of Carlisle (both dead by 1689) , later wife to Ralph Shippersdon of Hallgarth.
5. His elder half-sister Jane, wife to first Thomas Thweng of Kilton Castle (daughters Ann and Jane) and then Tocketts of Tocketts, received a small legacy.
6. His younger half-sister Peregrina, wife to Sir William Chaytor of Croft, £100; their children Thomas and Ann small bequests.
7. Described as cousins were: the Whittinghams of Holmside; the Wrens of Binchester; the “four cousins Cradock of Bishop Auckland”; other Cradock cousins of Gainford and Hornsey and Dr Zachary Cradock, provost of
Eton College; cousin Henry Saville and his 3 sisters; cousin John Harrison and aunt Ann Bowes; and other more obscure cousins, William Killinghall, Bailes, Dolemas, Banners of Sergeant's Hall, Vane, Sidgwick and Atrix (Ettrick).
8. Trinity Hall (Cambridge), Gray's Inn (London), Bow church (Durham), widows of the clergy, the binding of their sons as apprentices, the poor of the North Bailey (Durham), Richmond and Witton-le-Wear, Mr Nelson to teach navigation and,
especially, the founding of a Durham workhouse or factory.
9. His lands at Gainford, Quarryhill and Bradley were to go after his wife's decease to his cousin Richard Cradock, his nephew Thomas Bowes, and his great-nephew Thomas Bowes, son of George Bowes.
10. The rest of his estate was to go to his nephews Ralph Hutton and Thomas Bowes who, with his widow, were to execute the will whose legacies amounted to £2606, with the annuities totalling £212, along with some small gifts.
The will engendered a number of disputes. The widow was dissastisifed. The corporation of Durham obtained a commission to investigate various unpaid legacies and battled to get the workhouse built. Isaac Basire claimed an unpaid loan which was
dismissed. The death of the widow, Dorothy Cradock, in 1709 brought the Quarryhill estate to Thomas Bowes who also gained property, including Woodhouses, on the death of his uncle Cuthbert Bowes in 1714.
The deaths of the nephews and executors Thomas Bowes in 1718 and Ralph Hutton in 1719 brought the Cradock trust estate into the hands of Thomas Bowes's eldest son, Thomas. His litigious nature has generated the bulk of the material that this
collection comprises, principally correspondence with lawyers. Much of this revolved around the title to the estate and colliery of Woodhouses involving George Nixon, the lessee, and bringing in the heirs at law of Sir Joseph Cradock, and one Thomas
Cradock of London, a cordwainer, and a debt of £1800 due to Bowes's neighbour William Belasyse of Brancepeth who claimed security for the proposed sale of Woodhouses from Bowes's estate of Quarryhill. The case landed Bowes in prison and finally a
commission in 1752 decided on the shares of those entitled to the freehold and copyhold partition of Woodhouses, shortly after Bowes's own death.
Presented to the Cathedral Library by D.S. Boutflower [1928] (a note of 18 September 1928 from “D.S.B.” presents the notebook and “formal letter”).
Probably in the library of Sir Henry Clavering, 10th and last baronet. Originally belonged to Joshua Douglas, town clerk of Newcastle, whose daughter married Sir Thomas Clavering, dying without issue. It was bought at auction in London by Thomas
Randell of Ryton rectory, Co Durham, for 3 guineas (
“many years ago” (in 1912)) who then sold it on to Revd D.S. Boutflower again for 3 guineas on 16 August 1912. (From notes and a receipt on the inside front cover.)
Formerly numbered “24” within a circle.
Originally sorted into rough category of document and then chronological, numbered thus in pencil and stuck into a volume. Then renumbered into the present chronological order in blue crayon (so that the volume is now not in number order), when a
manuscript list and index was also made which identifies the page number in the volume of each item.
Discussed in D.S. Boutflower, “Thomas Cradock's Estate”,
(Archaeologia Aeliana, 3rd series, xv, 1918), p.44-56.

performance by boys at the school.
Bound in a folio from a ?15th century service book, see the next entry.

Recto: later verses of the Te Deum culminating in the second last verse, and verses from the middle of the Song of the Three Holy Children (Daniel iii)
Verso: the ending of the latter's final verse, the Benedictus vv.1-3 and 11-12, and the Magnificat, vv.1-?2.parts of the Benedictus and
Magnificat, with notes.
Parchment 2f

Decoration: the initials, added later, are alternately coloured blue and red; those of the first verse of the Benedictus and Magnificat have long flourishes extending

Letters of Shute Barrington, Bishop of Durham, mostly to Mr Wilton his attorney-at-law or Mr Burns
Paper file 16 items
Shute Barrington's early career had all the manifestations of the selfish pluralism which demoralised the church in the 18th century. Honour was heaped upon honour; he exchanged one cathedral stall for another richer one, was promoted from the
see of Llandaff which was plagued by non-resident bishops, to Salisbury and then to Durham where he sat tight from 1791 to 1826. His career differs from the norm somewhat in his great generosity to all sorts of charities and in his active interest
in educational matters, as evidenced in the Barrington School at Bishop Auckland. In his will he provided for the establishment of the “Barrington Society for promoting Religion and Christian piety in the diocese of
Durham”. Whilst at Auckland Castle he was energetic in carrying out repairs, as he had been at Salisbury. He was of the opinion that the corruptions of the Church of Rome were the main causes of the French Revolution. A great advocate of the
Establishment, he proclaimed himself willing to grant to Roman Catholics “every degree of toleration short of politicial power”.

Charles Henry Waller (1840-1910), Church of England clergyman and college head, was born at Ettingshall, Staffordshire, on 23 November 1840. He was the eldest son of the Revd Stephen Richard Waller and his wife, Lucy, eldest daughter of the Revd
Charles Richard Cameron and his wife, Lucy Lyttelton Cameron (1781–1858), children's author. Waller was educated at Bromsgrove School and at University College, Oxford, where he graduated BA in 1863 and MA in 1867; in 1891 he became BD and DD. He
was ordained deacon in 1864 and priest in 1865.
Waller settled in London. He was briefly curate to the Revd W. Pennefather (1816–1873), vicar of St Jude's, Mildmay Park, Islington, but resigned owing to ill health. Although the Revd A.M.W. Christopher (1820–1913) considered him to be a shy
person, he recommended him as a tutor to the Revd T.P. Boultbee (1818–1884), principal of the London College of Divinity. Waller was appointed tutor in 1865 when the college was situated at Kilburn, and he remained on the staff after it moved in the
following year to Highbury. From 1882 to 1899 he was the first McNeile professor of biblical exegesis at the college, a post founded by Dean Francis Close (1797–1882) in memory of Dean Hugh McNeile (1795–1879) “for the duty
of preaching and expounding to the people the true meaning and application of Holy Scripture” (McNeile professorship, 24 Jan 1882, University of Birmingham, Special Collections, St John's archive). Waller succeeded Boultbee as principal in
1884 and remained in office until 1899. During his time as tutor and principal more than 700 men were trained at LCD. In 1957 a window was erected in his memory in the college chapel at Northwood, Middlesex (later the library of the London Bible
College).
Alongside his college commitments, Waller was the Sunday curate of Christ Church, Mayfair, from 1865 to 1869, reader at Curzon Chapel, Mayfair, in 1869, minister of St John's Chapel, Downshire Hill, Hampstead, from 1870 to 1874, and examining
chaplain to Bishop J.C. Ryle of Liverpool (1816–1900) from 1880-1899. On 22 July 1865 he married Arabella Maria Stubbs (1832–1914) and they had a family of four sons (three were ordained and two were briefly tutors at his college) and three
daughters (one of whom became a missionary with the Church Missionary Society).
Waller was an evangelical whose faith had been enriched while he was an undergraduate at Oxford. He had heard the Revd J.W. Burgon (1813–1888) preach a series of seven sermons on the inspiration and interpretation of scripture, which profoundly
influenced his attitude to the Bible. The first sermon was particularly significant: “I can never forget what I heard that afternoon. … To his teaching, under God, I owe all I know of divinity” (
The Record, 17 August 1888). Waller's publications included a number of biblical commentaries and sermons, and in 1887 he published The authoritative inspiration of Holy Scripture as distinct
from the inspiration of its human authors. It was his conviction that biblical criticism was responsible for unsettling Christian faith, and that “the one shortcoming of the church at the present day was its neglect
of the study of dogmatic Christianity” (Church Association Monthly Intelligencer, 171).
In his last year as principal Waller was in poor health and took a six month sea cruise to Australia. He retired in 1899 on a pension of £400 a year to Little Coxwell, Faringdon, Berkshire, where he died on 9 May 1910 and was buried, survived by
his wife.A. F. Munden, ‘Waller, Charles Henry (1840-1910)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, (Oxford, 2004) [accessed 16 Dec 2004: http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/36707]

James William Fawcett, (1859-1942), was born in Brancepeth and grew up in Stanley and Durham. He had a considerable linguistic ability which he used in a wide-ranging career in the Imperial Service from 1878 to 1895 including being Spanish
interpreter in Malta, serving with Lord Kitchener in Egypt for 7 years as interpreter to the Arabic forces, and also acting in Gibraltar and Hong Kong. He then had a spell in public life in Australia, being M.P. for Kennedy, New South Wales from
1897, and later was chief stipendiary magistrate there. Returning home to Satley in 1902, he became absorbed in local and natural history, researching, lecturing, forming naturalist field clubs and acting as secretary of the Durham Historical
Society. He was renowned as the authority on the history of his native north-west Co Durham. Besides his many and varied contributions to the
Durham County Advertiser, he published a variety of works, including The Birds of Durham (Consett 1890), A brief life of the Reverend John Cross : forty years a
chaplain in the colony of New South Wales (Brisbane 1898), Historic places in the Derwent valley (Satley 1901), Memorials of Early Primitive Methodism in the County of Durham

C.C. Hodges correspondence.
The earliest 4 letters are from J.F. Hodgson to Canon William Greenwell discussing various features of Durham's ecclesiastical architecture, particularly in the cathedral. Thence most of the letters concern Charles Hodges's investigation of the
history of Durham Castle and his proposed publication on it, including translations of texts and photographs, and his efforts to solicit, unsuccessfully, the cooperation of Canon Greenwell in his proposed work. The volume did not reach publication,
though it was evidently far enough advanced for correspondents to put in orders for it. Other aspects of Hodges's work also feature, such as negotations for one of his memorials, to Bede, and further discoveries at Hexham abbey. As well as
Greenwell, correspondents feature the Durham architects W.T. Jones and W.G. Footitt, the architectural historian John Bilson, and the archaeologist H. Gee.
Paper 38 items
The majority of these 38 letters are to Charles Clement Hodges (1852-1932), an archaeologist, architect and antiquarian who had a wide knowledge of the Saxon and medieval ecclesiastical and military architecture of northern England. He was
perhaps most renowned for his work and publications on Hexham abbey. His early career was in the drawing office of the Consett steel works before he moved to Hexham to realise his enthusiasm for antiquities and his ability as an architect, becoming
associated with such as Canon William Greenwell. Hodges worked much on the restoration of Hexham abbey, in association with John Gibson, and also designed a number of memorial crosses, such as those at Whitby, Durham, Roker, Hexham and Rothbury, and
recumbent slabs. He published on Blyth priory (Nottinghamshire), Selby abbey, and County Durham's sepulchral slabs, in addition to various works on Hexham, along with articles on other churches and archaeological and architectural features. He also
planned a comprehensive account of Durham Castle.
Transferred from Newcastle-upon-Tyne City reference library in c.1970s (found in an envelope addressed to Mr R. Norris at Durham University Library).
Arranged in chronological order and numbered A1 etc (with some errors on both counts) [at Newcastle City reference library], each item being stamped with the Newcastle stamp.

Transcript [?by James Mickleton] of a petition by the prior and convent of Durham to the pope in view of the afflictions caused by the war between the king of England and the people of Scotland, and other disturbances, and the destruction and
plundering wrought by the people of Scotland, which have impoverished the cells of Coldingham, Holy Island and Farne, whose monks, seeking refuge at the monastery of Durham, now lead a meagre life, and the support of whom (for which their resources
are inadequate) has caused the priory to contract a parcel of debts, “so that adverse and prosperous times be the same ” ; while hoping for the return of peace; asking that the church of Hemingbrough, York dioc., or
another of which they are patrons, be appropriated to their use, lest the priory decline into the disgrace of irretrievable ruin; or else asking for any subvention which it might please him to provide.

Sermons of Douglas Jones from his early days as a priest at Windmill Hill Bristol, through his time at Oxford and Durham to his retirement in Edinburgh. Some are in volumes, with on occasion a list of the texts in the front, with a further
quantity loose. A few are headed with the date and place [of preaching] at the head; rather more are noted with the date and place of subsequent [preaching (sometimes several, especially in retirement at Gullane)] at the foot. Some have annotations,
amendments and corrections, perhaps from when they were subsequently reused. Most of the volumes have occasional insertions of further sermons, notes for sermons, lists of hymns etc for services, and some invites and notices of events.
19 books & 274 loose sermons
Douglas Rawlinson Jones (1919-2005) was an Old Testament scholar and priest who was born in Bristol. He graduated in theology from St Edmund Hall, Oxford, in 1941, and then went on to Wycliffe Hall and ordination before a curacy at Windmill Hill,
Bristol, in 1942. He returned to Oxford in 1945 as lecturer at Wycliffe Hall and chaplain at Wadham College. He moved to Durham University in 1951 as a lecturer in Theology. He was appointed to the university's Lightfoot Chair in Divinity in 1964,
thereby also becoming a residentiary canon of the cathedral. In Durham he produced articles and essays, and developed the syllabus by introducing systematic theology as a core option, whilst doing away with the requirement for theology students to
learn Hebrew. He also introduced an MA by examination (quite an innovation then) and dissertation in advanced Hebrew studies and Old Testament exegesis. Under his guidance, ecumenical relationships with Ushaw College grew, leading to it becoming
affiliated to the university in 1968. He also moved the Theology department to Abbey House in 1978. Retirement to the outskirts of Edinburgh in 1985 allowed him to publish an impressive commentary on Jeremiah in 1992 but university and church
involvement (he served on General Synod 1970-1985 and its Liturgical Commission 1981-1986) frustrated further major publications.

same time as Dr Armes' proposed additions to the great organ, who approves of their suggestions.

Letter from [Dean] G.W. Kitchin, the Deanery, Durham, to Mr Harrison reporting that consideration of his letter by chapter had been put off until the 5 March meeting as Dr Kynaston was away, but that the mood seemed to be to accept his proposals

Letter from R. Meyrick Roberts at 17 Hurlingham Court Mansions, London, to Mr Harrison, apologising for his last letter being written in a hurry, agreeing with him about certain changes not being made at present, he does not know Dr Armes but he
has sung his “Give Ear” anthem which is magnificent, then discussing his proposals for organ stops - even if he admits to being unfamiliar with the Durham organ though he knows what a Willis of that type is like -
especially a proposed violoncello stop and other proposals for the choir organ, the need for chorus reeds, otherwise he commends his design, the space problem can be overcome, five years' experience of magnificent organs has taught him what an ideal
church organ is like and a complete choir is invaluable, looking forward to playing his Whitehaven organ, he would like to talk over the Durham specification thoroughly, also discusses the nomenclature of stops, he tries to imagine the last movement
of Mendelssohn's 1st Sonata on his specification, he would like a copy of the specification and asks if he can cite it as an instrument “systematically” designed, he suggests that Westminster cathedral and Carlisle
organs might soon need his attention, and then more thoughts on stops.

could be added to the pedal organ; a viol d'orchestre stop of 8ft pitch could be added to the solo organ; five adjustable pistons could be added.
