Catholicism banned

 

Catholicism banned

Penal Laws, laws passed against Roman Catholics in Britain and Ireland after the Reformation that penalized the practice of the Roman Catholic religion and imposed civil disabilities on Catholics. Various acts passed in the 16th and 17th centuries prescribed fines and imprisonment for participation in Catholic worship and severe penalties, including death, for Catholic priests who practiced their ministry in Britain or Ireland. Other laws barred Catholics from voting, holding public office, owning land, bringing religious items from Rome into Britain, publishing or selling Catholic primers, or teaching.

Sporadically enforced in the 17th century and largely ignored in the 18th, the Penal Laws were almost completely nullified by the Roman Catholic Relief Act (1791), the Catholic Emancipation Act (1829), the Roman Catholic Charities Act (1832), and the Roman Catholic Relief Act (1926).

Tithe Apportionment Updates

 

Dec 2025 Jan 2026

Not updates on the Tithes, but on what I do with them and the process I use.

I have recently completed the Nursling Tithe Apportionment spreadsheet and used the data to create an ESRI Story Map as part of the Nursling One Place Study.

The spreadsheet used to record the data needed reworking as the Agreement had Leese and Lessor in addition to Landowner and Occupier.

All the previous Tithe Apportionment spreadsheets were built on the previous, apart from the first one obviously, Similar but different.

I though I had enough examples to make it worth creating a Template from the Nursling Tithe Apportionment spreadsheet.

Which I have done.

I am now reworking all the previous Tithe Apportionment parish spreadsheets to fit the template. Hopefully, I wont have to change the structure of the template to accommodate the earlier data. If I do have to, I will have to repeat the cycle of reworking until, it all fits harmoniously.

 

The idea is still to keep the spreadsheets as separate entities, and datasets, but to use Excel Power Query and Data Manager, to absorb all of the data into a single dataset from which all information can be compared and filtered, all within the same system and schema.

 

One Drive has been reconfigured accordingly, together with the concept as pulling together Census data and Parish Register data, such as baptisms. The later two are in early stages of development so there will be more about that here later.

 

The first Tithe Apportionment spreadsheet being remastered is Millbrook. It is not a short process.

 

 

 

Update from Joomla 3.10 to Joomla 4

This is the equivalent to major heart surgery.

There have been a lot of behind the scene changes, some of which have impacted what you can see and how you see it.

I have been chasing down those changes since the upgrade.

Please feel free to contact me if you find one of the remaining glitches.
