Norwich, Robert Browne & Congregationalism.
Regular episode • Season 1 • Episode 10 • Norwich, Robert Browne & Congregationalism.
The artwork is The St Andrew's and Blackfriars' Halls, together with their crypt and cloister, and is known collectively as The Halls Norwich.
Grade 1 listed they form the most complete medieval friary complex still surviving in England.
The first piece of music is Greensleeves, a traditional English folk song.
Its roots can be traced back to a broadsheet ballad, officially registered by Richard Jones with the London Stationers' Company in September 1580.
The second music played at the end is The Old Hundred, a hymn melody from the second edition of the Genevan Psalter. It is credited to L. Bourgeous (1510-1561).
This tune is frequently used to accompany the lyrics that commence with "All People That on Earth Do Dwell," a version that originated in the Anglo-Genevan Psalter of 1561 and which is attributed to the Scottish clergyman William Kethe.
Although the melody was initially associated with Psalm 134 in the Genevan Psalter, it acquired its current name from its connection to the 100th Psalm, as translated by William Kethe and titled "All People that on Earth do Dwell."
The melody is also employed with other lyrics, including commonly sung praises and German Lutheran chorales. Johann Sebastian Bach utilized this melody in his chorale cantata "Herr Gott, dich loben alle wir", Lord God, we all praise you.
The city of Norwich played a crucial role in the emergence of Congregationalism, and Robert Browne would experience a defining moment in his career, during his visit to this ancient city. Unaware of the chaos looming on the horizon, Browne continued to focus on delivering his separatist sermons in the Bury Saint Edmund area.
The clergy began to express their concerns to the Bishop about Browne's unauthorised preaching, and its impact on their congregations. Browne was charged with preaching without a licence, a bold act that defied established conventions. This incident marked the beginning of Browne's thirty-two imprisonments.
While in Norwich, Browne attempted to establish a Congregational Church, likely influenced by local Dutch woolworkers who held Anabaptist beliefs. In 1581, he established the first Congregational Church in England, close to the cathedral and the bishop's palace.
