  • Worcestershire Has Fluctuated in Size Over the Centuries
    HUMAN GENETICS IN WORCESTERSHIRE AND THE SHAKESPEARE COUNTRY I. MORGAN WATKIN County Health Department, Abet ystwyth Received7.x.66 1.INTRODUCTION THEwestern limits of Worcestershire lie about thirty miles to the east of Offa's Dyke—the traditional boundary between England and Wales —yet Evesham in the south-eastern part of the county is described by its abbot in a petition to Thomas Cromwell in as situated within the Principality of Wales. The Star Chamber Proceedings (No. 4) in the reign of Henry VII refer to the bridge of stone at Worcester by which the king's subjects crossed from England into Wales and the demonstrations against the Act of 1430 regulating navigation along the Severn were supported by large numbers of Welshmen living on the right bank of the river in Worcestershire. The object of the investigation is to ascertain whether significant genetic differences exist in the population of Worcestershire and south-western Warwickshire and, in particular, whether the people living west of the Severn are more akin to the Welsh than to the English. The possibility of determining, on genetic grounds, whether the Anglo- Saxon penetration was strongest from the south up the rivers Severn and Avon, or across the watershed from the Trent in the north, or from the east through Oxfordshire and Warwickshire is also explored. 2. THECOUNTY Worcestershirehas fluctuated in size over the centuries and Stratford-on-Avon came for a period under its jurisdiction while Shipston-on-Stour, now a Warwickshire township, remained in one of the detached portions of Worcestershire until the turn of the present century.

  • Worcestershire: Hundy Country 1563 – 1833
    Worcestershire: Hundy Country 1563 – 1833 Worcestershire is a county located in the south-west Midlands of England. The county is dominated by the city of Worcester and features several smaller towns and villages such as Kidderminster, Dudley, Droitwich, Evesham, Pershore, and Great Malvern. It was established as an administrative area in its current form when the Saxon kingdom of Wessex was established in the 7th century.1 The Hundy family name is a locational name of Anglo Saxon origin being derived from pre- 7th century English with ‘hund’ meaning dog and a piece of firm land in a fen or marsh. In modern English, this translates to an ‘island frequented by dogs’. It probably identifies a now lost village or unrecorded location.2 The original place is probably in the Worcestershire area due to the prevalence of the name in that county. The parish and public records particularly link William Hundy’s immediate family to Worcester, Defford, Pershore, and Crowle. It’s at these four locations we have records showing marriages, baptisms, employment, and, ultimately, William’s trial and sentencing. The locational derivation of the Hundy name is itself rooted in the Anglo-Saxon period of rule in England prior to the 11th century. It gives no indication of the genetic origins of the Hundy family as some names more closely aligned with specific cultures (such as the Celtic name McDermott i.e. son of Dermot) do. It is probable the family’s lineage reflects the cultural and racial diversity arising from England’s history of invasion and the integration of native Iron Age Celtic populations with successive waves of Romans, Germanic tribes (Angles, Saxons), Norseman, and the Normans from today’s France.
