The great Ren aissance artist followed the convention of his time and showed the early Christian scholar not in a fifth-century setting-nor in Bethlehem, where he really lived- but in a study whose furnishings were typical of Durer's Nuremberg at the begin ning of the sixteenth century. We see an old man bent over his writing in the corner of a room. Light enters through a large leaded-glass window in an arched opening. A low bench stands against the wall under the window. Some tasseled cushions have been placed on it; upholstered seating, in which the cushion was an integral part of the seat, did not appear until a hundred years later. The wooden table is a medieval design-the top is separate from the underframe, and by removing a couple of pegs the whole thing can be easily disassembled when not in use. A back-stool, the precursor of the side chair, is next to the table. The tabletop is bare except for a crucifix, an inkpot, and a writing stand, but personal possessions are in evidence else Albrecht DUrer, St. Jerome in His where.

Pencombe C.E. Primary School Pencombe, Bromyard, Herefordshire HR7 4SH tel / fax: 01885 400255 pencombe.hmfa.org.uk [email protected] Executive Head Teacher : Maggi Newton B. Ed (hons) Friday 22nd May 2020 Dear Parent/Carer, As Chairs of Governors of the schools in the Herefordshire Marches Federation of Academies we are writing to you today to communicate our shared response to the government’s aim for schools in England to begin to reopen on June 1st. You will by now have received a letter from Peter Box or Maggi Newton outlining the plans for reopening the nine HMFA schools and stating clearly the criteria for reopening. They have our full support as governors for this approach. It has been a challenging time for us all: for the children, for you as parents and carers and for staff in schools. We as governors have been pleased and encouraged at the school communities’ positive response to the challenges and we thank you all for your support throughout the past months. We are proud that the schools within the federation have worked so well together to provide both for children of key workers and for children being home schooled. Staff have continued to plan and deliver education for all children; in school, online and over the phone. We appreciate the positive feedback from parents regarding teachers’ support for pupils throughout the pandemic. On May 10th the government announced that it wanted schools to prepare for partial reopening, ideally from June 1st. Since that time the HMFA leadership team have been considering how this might be possible in each school. -

THE SKYDMORES/ SCUDAMORES of ROWLESTONE, HEREFORDSHIRE, Including Their Descendants at KENTCHURCH, LLANCILLO, MAGOR & EWYAS HAROLD
Rowlestone and Kentchurch Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study THE SKYDMORES/ SCUDAMORES OF ROWLESTONE, HEREFORDSHIRE, including their descendants at KENTCHURCH, LLANCILLO, MAGOR & EWYAS HAROLD. edited by Linda Moffatt 2016© from the original work of Warren Skidmore CITATION Please respect the author's contribution and state where you found this information if you quote it. Suggested citation The Skydmores/ Scudamores of Rowlestone, Herefordshire, including their Descendants at Kentchurch, Llancillo, Magor & Ewyas Harold, ed. Linda Moffatt 2016, at the website of the Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com'. DATES • Prior to 1752 the year began on 25 March (Lady Day). In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. • Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. Where only a baptism date is given for an individual born after 1837, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter. BIRTHS, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS Databases of all known Skidmore and Scudamore bmds can be found at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com PROBATE A list of all known Skidmore and Scudamore wills - many with full transcription or an abstract of its contents - can be found at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com in the file Skidmore/Scudamore One-Name Study Probate. -

BIOGRAPHICAL REGISTER of CARMELITES in ENGLAND and WALES 1240-1540, (Faversham: St
Richard Copsey O.Carm., BIOGRAPHICAL REGISTER OF CARMELITES IN ENGLAND AND WALES 1240-1540, (Faversham: St. Albert’s Press, 2020). CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS TO THE PRINTED EDITION: 21 April 2021 This list, and any further additions, will be published on the province website at http://www.carmelite.org/copseyregister There are rather more additions, amendments, etc. in the following pages than I had expected at this stage. However, the multiplication of sources available on the internet has opened up documents which were previously not easily available and a number of scholars have very generously shared their researches with me. One valuable source which I have only just obtained is the Master’s Thesis (1938) by J. Copeland containing a valuable appendix of 148 pages listing all the friars known to have been given licences to hear confessions during the 14th century.This thesis is now available on the internet and has proved a most useful check on my own readings of the episcopal registers. Secondly, my short entry on the little known Gilbert of Norwich, bishop of Hamar in Norway, has had to be completely rewritten thanks to Dr Brian Ayers of East Anglia University who is researching the life of Gilbert but from a totally different direction. I am very grateful to Dr Ayers for sharing his researches and I look forward to including his forthcoming article on bishop Gilbert in this list of additions. Similarly, my entry on Osbert Beaufeu of Pickenham has benefitted from the researches of Dr. Callan Ledsham and Dr Chris Schabel into Pickenham’s theological writngs.
