An engraved commemorative rummer, the tapered bucket bowl with hops and barley and bearing the legend CHURCH AND KING, on a capstan stem and round foot, 14cm high, first quarter 19th century Note: This rummer will no doubt have associations with a Tory dining club of the period. The sentiment of 'Church and King' belongs against the backdrop of the Dissenting Movement. The late 18th century and much of the first half of the 19th century had seen large riots in cities such as Manchester, Birmingham and London with the local Tories clashing with the radicals of the period. One side representing the ideals of the Established Church, 'Church and King', traditional landowners, some mill-owners and their loyal employees, tenants etc. while those of a Radical disposition were often from the Dissenting tradition who had moved away from the established church and sort an extension to the electoral franchise and other rights as espoused in Paine's Rights of Man, the American Declaration of Independence and the French Revolution. These could be working men, often men of science (Joseph Priestley) and Whigs generally. Condition report disclaimer
