EDITOR'S REPORT This, the 43rd. annual report ofthe Herefordshire Ornithological Club, is the first that I have edited and is on behalf of the Committee as a result ofthe resignation ofMr. Alan Marchant. Alan was appointed Sub­ Editor in 1981 and took over as Hon. Editor when T.R.H. Owen, C.B.E., the Club's editor since 1967 relinquished his post following the publication of the 1981 Annual Report. The 1992 Report was Alan's 11th. Report as editor. His contribution over the years has helped to raise the standards and ensured the success oftheAnnual Reports. His work has been much appreciated and the members' grateful thanks go to Alan for his efforts on behalf of the Club. The Classified Notes for 1993 were compiled as follows:- C. Wells - Little Grebe to Peregrine; G.S. Bilbao - Red Grouse to Lesser Spotted Woodpecker; I.B. Evans - Skylark to Willow Warbler; P.J. Eldridge - Goldcrest to Corn Bunting; K.A. Mason - Reading and commenting on the whole text. There were no additions to the County list in 1993 but it is pleasing to note that Little Egret, Scaup, Red Breasted Merganser, Red Kite, Hen Harrier, Osprey, Jack Snipe,Arctic Skua, Kittiwake, Black Tern, Hoopoe and Wryneck were recorded. The total number of species seen in 1993 was 154 and this compares favourably with previous years. The following figures show the number ofspecies seen in Herefordshire during the ten years 1982 to 1991:- 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 139 145 139 151 133 142 150 145 147 147 It is interesting to compare the average number of species seen annually over the ten years, 143, with that of the West Midland Bird Club whose average for a similar period was 221 species. Oh! for a Blithfield and an Upton Warren. Field meetings have again proved very popular. Meetings at Hergest and Sned Wood were led by Helen Dwyer in June. 32 members met at Ashleworth for Peter Eldridge's meeting in January. Tony Eveleigh led the River Wye walk at Hampton Bishop in February, Hartleton Lake and Little Doward in March, Holywell Dingle in May, nightjar meeting at Pecket Stone in July, Cotswold Water Park in August and Wigmore Rolls in November. The meeting at Fawley and Kings Caple Wye on 23rd. May was led by Mrs. R. Francis.Anightingale search near Eastnor Castle 99 on 7th. May and the Malvern Hills walk in November was led by Peter Garner. Alan Marchant led meetings at Glasbury in March, Harley Dingle inApril, Llyn Heilyn and Llan Bwch Llyn in July, Holme Lacy inAugust, Glasbury and Begwyns in October and the Severn Estuary in December. Meetings at Penclacwydd, Llanelli, Upton Warren, Worcestershire and the North Norfolk Weekend in Sept. were led by Keith Mason. Ifor Preece again organised the spring and autumn censuses at Haugh Wood. The meetings at Whitfield Estate in January and the Elan Valley in May were led by John Pullen. Peter Thomson led the meeting at Ewyas Harold Common and Merbach Hill. The New Forest Weekend led by John Vickerman from the 12th. - 16th. May attracted 12 members who were shown Woodlark, Dartford Warbler, Hobby, Stone Curlew and Black Tern to name but a few but unfortunately the hoped for Firecrest did not make an appearance. Our grateful thanks go to all the leaders and to all the Landowners who have kindly given us permission to visit their properties and especially to all those who submitted records for inclusion in the Annual Report. A programme of meetings was again held at the Education Centre. This has proved to be a popular venue with very good attendances. The Members' Evening in January was a combined effort with Keith and Chris Mason ably assisted by Tony Eveleigh recounting, with the aid of video, their holiday in Iceland. In February our Chairman, Mr. A.J. Smith gave a most interesting talk/slide show on Bird Watching in South America. The winter programme was concluded on the 25th. March with a return visit by Dee Doody who entertained us with Birds of Prey of Uplands. The autumn programme started in September with a visit by David Saunders, Director of the Dyfed Wildlife Trust, who guided us on The Natural History ofSkomerIsland. This was followed in October by Gareth Thomas from Ludlow who took us on an exploration of another island, Fair Isle - on the map a lonely spot on the sea between Orkney and Shetland. By Request - British Birds was the title of Eric Harvey's lecture in November followed in December by Tany Hamblin who gave us an insight to Birds of the Coast. The Club is indebted to Chris Mason, Elaine Evans and Josephine Field for organising the refreshments after each meeting and a special thanks to Elaine and J osephine for making the mince pies for the December meeting. At the 2-day Herefordshire Nature Trust Exhibition held at the Shirehall in October the H.O.C. and R.S.P.B. stands were organised and 100 manned by the Evans' with assistance from Keith Mason. November 12th. was a sad occasion with the last ofthe R.S.P.B.'s annual Film Shows at the Shirehall, Hereford. They ended on a high note with The Flamingo Triangle, Sky Dancer - Hen Harrier in Profile, and another showing of the award winning film The Secret Reeds first shown in 1981. My wife Elaine and I have been involved with the film shows since Isles of the Simmer Dim in 1973 and we will always have fond memories of some great films such as Beyond a Tangled Shore, Plumes to Peregrines, Osprey, BirdAbout Town, Commendable Crow, Where Eagles Fly, Wings Over Wales, Puffins, Seabird City, Barcud the Red Kite and Barn Owl­ Bird ofDarkness to name but a few. Our grateful thanks to all our helpers over the years and especially to the members for their loyal support for the R.S.P.B.

    “JUST AS THE PRIESTS HAVE THEIR WIVES”: PRIESTS AND CONCUBINES IN ENGLAND, 1375-1549 Janelle Werner A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Judith M. Bennett Reader: Professor Stanley Chojnacki Reader: Professor Barbara J. Harris Reader: Cynthia B. Herrup Reader: Brett Whalen © 2009 Janelle Werner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JANELLE WERNER: “Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549 (Under the direction of Judith M. Bennett) This project – the first in-depth analysis of clerical concubinage in medieval England – examines cultural perceptions of clerical sexual misbehavior as well as the lived experiences of priests, concubines, and their children. Although much has been written on the imposition of priestly celibacy during the Gregorian Reform and on its rejection during the Reformation, the history of clerical concubinage between these two watersheds has remained largely unstudied. My analysis is based primarily on archival records from Hereford, a diocese in the West Midlands that incorporated both English- and Welsh-speaking parishes and combines the quantitative analysis of documentary evidence with a close reading of pastoral and popular literature. Drawing on an episcopal visitation from 1397, the act books of the consistory court, and bishops’ registers, I argue that clerical concubinage occurred as frequently in England as elsewhere in late medieval Europe and that priests and their concubines were, to some extent, socially and culturally accepted in late medieval England.

Ross is the hub of the area either side of the River Wye but the rural area either side of the river has always been an important part of the community. The census returns consider the rural area to the southeast of Ross as Ross Foreign. This contrasts with urban Ross, the town itself. The parishes which abut this are Brampton Abbots and Weston-under-Penyard. The more influential landowners had lands in each of the three parishes. As such, the three parishes are considered as one rural zone though the focus is on the lands in and around Ross Foreign and especially Hildersley. More recent developments such as Model farm are covered to complete the review and bring the report up-to-date. The changes through the years are captured through changes in society, class and ways of life.
