  • Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549
    “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.

I have allocated a significant number of officers to this investigation to ensure we identify and arrest the suspect as soon as possible.

  • South Shropshire 1973-2007
    South Shropshire District Council Election Results 1973-2007 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.

  • An Introduction to 700 Million Years of Earth History in Shropshire and Herefordshire
    ISSN 1750-855X (Print) ISSN 1750-8568 (Online) An introduction to 700 million years of earth history in Shropshire and Herefordshire 1 Peter Toghill TOGHILL, P. (2008). An introduction to 700 million years of earth history in Shropshire and Herefordshire. Proceedings of the Shropshire Geological Society, 13, 8–24. The beautiful landscape of the Welsh Marches is underlain by a rock sequence representing 10 of the 12 recognised periods of geological time. This remarkable variety, covering 700 million years of Earth history, has resulted from the interplay of three main factors: (1) erosion and faulting which have produced a very complex outcrop pattern; (2) southern Britain's position near to plate boundaries through most of late Precambrian and Phanerozoic time; and, most importantly, (3) the incredible 12,000 km, 500 million year, journey of southern Britain across the Earth's surface from the southern hemisphere to the northern, caused by plate tectonic processes. 1Church Stretton, Shropshire, UK.

However, this is not the place to provide a detailed description of the geology of Shropshire per se, for which the reader is referred to Peter Toghill’s Geology of Shropshire (2006), thereby to benefit from the author’s detailed knowledge of the local geology. The beautiful landscape of the Welsh Marches is underlain by a rock sequence representing ten of the twelve recognised periods of geological time (10 out of 13 if the Tertiary is subdivided into two periods).
