1780 Beadle Employed Hatton Kitchener Minor Official Order Parish Rent Saffron Services Staff Usher
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 18th century print depicts William Kitchener, the Beadle of Saffron Hill, Hatton Garden, and Ely Rent. The Beadle was a minor parish official, employed to ensure the orderly conduct of religious services and ushering of parishioners. Dressed in his traditional attire, Kitchener wears a long, flowing robe and a tall, conical hat, adorned with a badge of office. His staff, or 'mace,' is held in his right hand, a symbol of his authority and duty to maintain order within the parish. The print, dated circa 1780, offers a glimpse into the past, providing insight into the role and appearance of these important yet often overlooked figures in English history. The intricately detailed image, with its rich colors and textures, transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the hustle and bustle of a busy parish community in the late 18th century.
