LUGW ARDINE. Church, Dedicated to St sss LUGWARDINE. church, dedicated to St. Peter, was extensively altered and completely restored in 1871 at an expense of about £3,312, defrayed by sub­ scription. It consists of nave, chancel, north and south aisles, and a massive square tower containing six bells and a clock. The tower is ornamented with some grim-looking specimens of antique sculpture. The interior of the church is lofty, and contains several stained glass windows, one at the east end and one at the west end by Messrs. Clayton & Bell, one in the south aisle by Messrs. Burlison & Grylls7 erected by friends and parishioners to the memory of the Rev. A. H. Price, the late vicar, who died in 1884 ; subject, the Saviour and the woman at the well of Samaria. The organ was rebuilt in 1872 by Nicholson, of Worcester, chiefly at the expense of Sir Her bert Croft, Bart. The parish registers commence with the year 1538. The national school for boys and girls has been recently altered and improved at an outlay of £230. It has accommodation for 147 children ; average attendance, I I 6. There are a few small charities in connection with the church. Connected with this parish are. the works of Messrs. Wm. Godwin & Son, manufacturers of encaustic tiles, hearths, tesselated pavements, etc., which, from their superior quality have obtained a world-wide reputation, being used at home, in our colonies, on the Continent, and in South America. The manufactory itself, though known by the name of the'' Lugwardine Encaustic Tile Works," is situated just outside the parish, by Withington railway station. These tiles have been supplied for Hereford, Worcester, Gloucester, and several other cathedrals, for Her Majesty the Queen, at Windsor castle, for the Assize courts, Manches­ ter, and for a large number of important public buildings, churches, mansions, &c. There are several resident gentry in the parish. Newcou1·t, a handsome mansion, distant about half a mile west of the village, is the seat of Richard John Griffiths, Esq., ].P., D.L. Lttg­ wardine Court is pleasantly situated on an eminence above the Lugg, and is seen from the bridge as one enters the village. It is the seat of Sir Herbert George Denman Croft, Bart, M.A., (Oxon.), ].P., D.L., who was M.P., for the county of Hereford, from 1868 to 1874, when he retired from Parliament. Sir Herbert's ancestors represented Herefordshire in sixteen parliaments, between 1297 and 1874, and resided at Croft castle, in this county. Herbert Croft was Dean and Lord Bishop of Hereford (A.D. I 662 ), and his son, Herbert, was created a Baronet, in November, 167I, and was M.P., for the county of Hereford. Three of the bishop's brothers fought in the armies of Charles I., of whom the eldest, Sir William, was a very distinguished soldier, and was slain at the siege of Stokesay castle, near Ludlow. Bishop Croft was buried in Hereford cathedral. Longworth, the property of William Henry Barneby, Esq., J.P., D.L., is situated about 1 mile S. of the village of Lugwardine, and 4 miles E. of the city of Hereford. This mansion was for several centuries the seat of the ancient family of the W alwyns, who derived their name from Gwallain or Wallwain castle, in Pembrokeshire. Sir Peter Gwallain was engaged in the conquest of Brecknockshire, with the army of William Rufus. The grounds display some fine timber, and the .

The Hereford Cathedral School culture produces well-balanced, confident and considerate young adults ready for the wider world. Aims of Hereford Cathedral School We hope that pupils will flourish and develop their potential in academic, spiritual, aesthetic, physical and personal terms. As part of an ancient Cathedral foundation, and as a Choir School, which has the privilege of a Cathedral as its chapel, we are a Christian School in the Anglican tradition, although we welcome and value those of other denominations and faiths. Each pupil is encouraged to consider seriously and openly the Christian tradition within which the School is founded. The School seeks: to meet pupils’ academic and personal needs and to promote the acquisition of moral values; to provide an environment in which pupils feel valued and learn to work co- operatively in a community; to provide a balanced, appropriate and challenging curriculum and a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities; to encourage pupils to achieve their academic potential and to foster a climate in which teaching and learning of high quality are given central priority; to ensure a high degree, within and outside the formal pastoral structure, of personal care, support and guidance; to respond to pupils’ aspirations and to be attentive to those of parents, and to their views.

    Celebrating 100 years CHOIR SCHOOLS’ ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE 2018 Front cover photograph: Choristers representing CSA’s three founding member schools, with lay clerks and girl choristers from Salisbury Cathedral, join together to celebrate a Centenary Evensong in St Paul’s Cathedral 2018 CONFERENCE REPORT ........................................................................ s the Choir Schools’ Association (CSA) prepares to enter its second century, A it would be difficult to imagine a better location for its annual conference than New Change, London EC4, where most of this year’s sessions took place in the light-filled 21st-century surroundings of the K&L Gates law firm’s new conference rooms, with their stunning views of St Paul’s Cathedral and its Choir School over the road. One hundred years ago, the then headmaster of St Paul’s Cathedral Choir School, Reverend R H Couchman, joined his colleagues from King’s College School, Cambridge and Westminster Abbey Choir School to consider the sustainability of choir schools in the light of rigorous inspections of independent schools and regulations governing the employment of children being introduced under the terms of the Fisher Education Act. Although cathedral choristers were quickly exempted from the new employment legislation, the meeting led to the formation of the CSA, and Couchman was its honorary secretary until his retirement in 1937. He, more than anyone, ensured that it developed strongly, wrote Alan Mould, former headmaster of St John’s College School, Cambridge, in The English

  • Tittler on Keene and Burns and Saint, 'St. Paul's: the Cathedral Church of London, 604-2004'
    H-Albion Tittler on Keene and Burns and Saint, 'St. Paul's: The Cathedral Church of London, 604-2004' Review published on Thursday, September 1, 2005 Derek Keene, Arthur Burns, Andrew Saint, eds. St. Paul's: The Cathedral Church of London, 604-2004. Yale University Press: New Haven and London, 2004. xvi + 538 pp. $125.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-300-09276-9. Reviewed by Robert Tittler (Department of History, Concordia University, Montreal) Published on H-Albion (September, 2005) Essay collections on the history of English cathedrals have recently become something of a fashion, with significant volumes being published over the last few years on Norwich Cathedral by Ian Atherton et al. (1996), Rochester Cathedral by Philip McAleer (1999), and Hereford Cathedral by Gerald Aylmer et al. (2000). Yet given its far greater prominence and centrality in the history of the nation, not to mention the affluence and influence of its patronal community, no such work has, or is likely to measure up to the length, weight, and virtual grandeur of this volume celebrating the fourteen-hundredth anniversary of St. Paul's Cathedral. At 538 pages, 42 chapters from 46 contributors, and 389 images, many in color, this volume requires additional digits for any standard scale by which its production might be measured. Somewhat more open to speculation are questions about what it actually offers, how it will be used, and by whom. In order to orient the reader to its layout and guide him or her through the whole, the editors have sensibly divided the work into three parts.

  • Wells Cathedral, but ‘We Had a Very Listed Building Control
    WELLS 01 PROJECT ARCHITECT: CATHEDRAL Martin Stancliffe, New entry cloister, Education and Music Purcell Miller Tritton Resource Centre, chapter house CATHEDRAL ARCHITECT: undercroft, works yard Peter Bird In some ways, the great medieval cathedrals are dinosaurs: creations of another era, fascinating, impressive and inspiring – but ill-equipped for the demands of the twenty-first century. Yet their continued significance is not to be doubted. Wells attracts some 470,000 visitors a year,170,000 of whom attend one of the 1,730 services, concerts, educational visits and other events organised by the cathedral. That’s almost five events a day, each with its own logistical demands, each attracting a different public. So it is easy to understand why the chapter at Wells had, by the late 1990s, begun to feel as if they were reaching a kind of evolutionary crossroads. There was no safe accommodation for visiting school groups, no disabled access to many areas of the cathedral church itself, and no covered route to the visitors’ toilets. The cathedral shop and restaurant occupied one walk of the medieval cloister; part of the Song School filled another. Girl choristers practised in the chapter house undercroft, which had otherwise become a large storeroom; choirs of both sexes robed here, too. Child protection legislation and the Disability Discrimination Act increased the imperative for change. The status quo was untenable. It took some time for the right solution to emerge. The first scheme was opposed by several consultees. It took all the negotiation skills of the cathedral authorities and planning advisors, including English Heritage and the CFCE, to arrive at the eventual answer – a design which balanced the building’s extraordinary significance with the needs of modern users and which was capable of attracting consent and funding.

  • The Parish Church of St. Cuthbert's Holme Lacy, Herefordshire
    THE PARISH CHURCH OF ST. CUTHBERT’S HOLME LACY, HEREFORDSHIRE [Several years ago Lady Patricia Lucas-Scudamore compiled an exemplary booklet of six pages on the history of St. Cuthbert’s. It could hardly be improved upon today, and I have reprinted it here completely. In a later letter from Lady Pat (now Phipps) she told me that in common with most small parish churches in England St. Cuthbert’s no longer had enough communicants to support a vicar and services there have been discontinued. The fabric of the building has been taken over by the Historic Churches Trust, and she is doing what she can to maintain the graves of the Scudamore- Stanhopes in the churchyard. It is sad to learn that there are now more Muslims in the U. K. than there are members of the Church of England. (Warren Skidmore)] This account was compiled by Lady Patricia Lucas-Scudamore THE PRESENT church was built about 1280 and dedicated to St. Cuthbert, who was Bishop of Lindisfarne in the 7th century. It stands on low lying ground within a loop of the River Wye in the Manor known as Hamme, Hom, Homm or Holme Lacy, into which the Wye flows when in high flood. In all probability there was a church here in Saxon times. In the Domesday Book, Hamme is described as "de Victu Canonicorum." The oldest part of the church, about 1280, is the arcade between the Chancel and South Chapel, the South Chapel and the east end of' the South Aisle. The rest of the building, the Chancel, Nave and west end of South Aisle, belongs to the early 14th century, the Tower late 14th century, North Transept and Porch late 16th or early 17th century.

    Services and Music List January and February 2017 WELCOME And so it continued both day and night It is for many, a source of regret that as soon as the angels sing, ‘Glory to God in the highest’, the choir term ends and with it, Christmas. In fact the Christmas season ends on February 2, with the celebration of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, or Candlemas, and the themes of light from darkness, of God with us and the joy of sharing in the life of God are reflected in the liturgy and music of the season, together with a new understanding of what humanity’s new dignity means for all of us. We hope very much that you will join us when you can. The Reverend Canon Nicholas Jepson-Biddle, Precentor Communicant members of other churches in good standing are welcome to receive the Sacrament in this church if they so desire.

  • Medieval Religious Patronage: a Study of the Anglo-Welsh Marcher Lords and Their Connections to Religious Houses, 1066 - 1300
    Student No. 580020001 Medieval Religious Patronage: A Study of the Anglo-Welsh Marcher Lords and their Connections to Religious Houses, 1066 - 1300. Submitted by Catherine Lucy Hollinghurst to the University of Exeter as a dissertation for the degree of Masters by Research in Archaeology, October 2012. This dissertation is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this dissertation which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ……………………………………………………………………… 1 Student No. 580020001 Abstract In a world where religion played a far greater role in society than it does in the modern day, it is no surprise that those living in the medieval period desired a close association with the church. Nowhere is this association clearer than with the aristocracy of the time. This project looks in detail at the close relationship between Anglo-Norman castle lords and monastic institutions, considering the different ways in which they patronised religious houses and the spiritual and social gains that they could enjoy as a result of their support. By looking at the study area of the Anglo- Welsh Marches, an overview is built up of the connections between the monastery and the castle, before individual high status Anglo-Norman families and their associated religious institutions are considered to give a more complete and detailed picture. In addition to the social aspects of this association, the wider environments of monastic sites are also studied, raising notable similarities between religious and high status secular landscapes.
