This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1850 edition. Excerpt: ... MIDSUMMER WATCH. MINSTRELS, WAITS, &c. HE singular custom of setting the watch upon Midsummer eve, prevalent in many ancient towns, appears to have been disregarded in Ipswich, or at least, if followed, was not attended with that pomp and display forming its constant accompaniment in London, Chester, and Coventry. The " watche bell" is mentioned as late as the 6th year of Elizabeth, and it is ordered that the bell be sounded daily, both at the commencement and conclusion of the watch; but the ceremonies observed upon Midsummer eve, when a new year of watch being commenced, a pompous inauguration took place, do not appear mentioned in the Corporate records. Still it is not improbable that this annual ceremony was nevertheless performed, the Corporation keeping a company of Minstrels and Waits at the service of the town, attending the processions of the Corpus The watch commenced at eight o'clock in the evening of the winter, and continued until day-break. In summer, the watch began at nine o'clock. Christi Guilds--the town feasts--and constantly promoting the existence of that harmony among the general body of the Burgesses, not at all times found prevalent with the Bailiffs and the Twenty-four. The first mention made of musicians or minstrels in Ipswich, is not earlier than Elizabeth; in the 8th year of whose reign, William Martin, "Musitian," was ordered to be paid 13. Ad. for his service at the Guild, and henceforth to have 20. yearly. Martin continued in his office for many years. In the 26th year of Elizabeth, the town bought Waits for Martin and his compan)', six in number, and they were ordered to serve the town as the Bailiffs should appoint.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memorials of the Ancient Town of Ipswich: In the County of Suffolk The following pages must be regarded in the light of a fragment A complete History of the Town of Ipswich was at first designed, but found to involve a larger amount of pecuniary outlay than would probably have been returned. The first idea was therefore abandoned and the volume took the form and title it now bears. It has been the object of the author to confine his authorities as far as possible to those hitherto unknown, partially explored, or not easily accessible. Published matter has been avoided except where reference to any printed work was required for the elucidation of original documents. Through the kindness of the Corporation of Ipswich, a large portion of the Town Records have been examined. Those which chiefly occupied the attention of the author were the books of Accounts of the ancient Chamberlains - the Great Domesday Book of Ipswich, a thick vellum volume re-compiled in 1521 by Richard Percy vale - such of the Great Court Books as remain in the custody of the Corporation - and the folio manuscript gathered from the then existing muniments by Nicholas Bacon, Recorder of Ipswich, and one of its Representatives in the Long Parliament.
