ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 



in St. Mary Overie's parish, at Kennington, at Chertsey and at Dorking 

 under Mr. Wood ; bodies unnamed in Rotherhithe, in St. Mary Magda- 

 lene's parish in Southwark, in the Borough near the Bridge House, at 

 Kennington, at Clapham (2), at Battersea, at Blechingley, at Cobham, at 

 Dorking, at Frimley, at Guildford (2), at Godalming, at Kingston (2), at 

 Ockley {2), at Pirbright and at Walton-on-Thames. Some of these are 

 pretty clearly the same congregations which were reported to Sheldon in 

 1669, but all cannot be identified. Evidently about London the Separa- 

 tists were strong ; clearly, as by the other lists, the extreme south-east of 

 the county had no such congregations and the whole eastern part had 

 fewer than the western part. 



To turn to the history of the Established Church ; in 1660 Brian 

 Duppa, Bishop of Salisbury before the Civil Wars, was translated to 

 Winchester, but died early in 1662. Dr. Pearson, famous as the author 

 of Pearson on the Creed, became archdeacon of Surrey in 1660. In 

 succession to Duppa in 1662, Bishop Morley was translated from Wor- 

 cester to Winchester. Morley was a moderate man who had been nom- 

 inated to the Westminster Assembly of Divines, but had not sat with 

 them, at least not continuously. He had once preached before the Long 

 Parliament. Afterwards he had left England. He was a good man and 

 charitable ; but with regard to Surrey he left his chief record in repair- 

 ing Farnham Castle. Farnham Castle was half ruinous from the effects 

 of Waller's siege in 1 642, and from the deliberate dilapidations ordered 

 by Parliament to make it indefensible in 1648. He rebuilt it, or a 

 great part of it, at considerable expense and resided there. Winchester 

 House ceased to be an episcopal residence. It had been sold by the 

 Parliament in 1649, and though it was recovered for the see after the 

 Restoration it was no longer used. Morley indeed bought another house 

 at Chelsea for the see. Lambeth was restored to Juxon the new arch- 

 bishop, and also Croydon archiepiscopal palace, which he repaired and 

 used as a residence. It was not till 1780 that it was sold, having become 

 ruinous, and Addington, also in Surrey, bought with the proceeds. The 

 third great episcopal house of Southwark, Rochester House, had been 

 sold to a layman in 1546. The houses there of the abbots of Lewes and 

 of Battle and the rest had of course disappeared in the Reformation 

 time. York House, Battersea, which had been sold during the Com- 

 monwealth, was restored to the see of York. One Surrey parochial 

 clergyman was raised to the episcopate after 1660, the Rev. John 

 Hacker of Cheam, who though a Royalist had managed to keep his 

 vicarage all through the Interregnum, was offered the see of Gloucester, 

 and then was offered and accepted Lichfield in 1661. 



One more displacement of clergy occurred before the reasonableness 

 of the eighteenth century made sufferings for conscience sake unusual. 

 The Church of England had preached non-resistance so vigorously that 

 some of the more conscientious clergy could not bring themselves to 

 repudiate James II., nor take the oaths to William and Mary. The 

 Nonjuror Schism was the result. Those who refused the oaths were
