    “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.

  • Leominster Team Rector Team Profile, April 2021
    Leominster Team Rector Team Profile, April 2021 Leominster Priory Choir The Wisdom of Winnie the Pooh: Pudleston’s 2019 Flower Festival 1 Leominster Team Profile Welcome from the Deanery Leadership Team The Diocese of Hereford is one of the most rural in the Church of England, and Leominster Deanery is no exception. We comprise five rural benefices plus the Leominster Team Ministry, stretching as the crow flies nearly 18 miles from the Welsh border across the northern reaches of Herefordshire into Worcestershire and over 20 miles from Leintwardine on the Shropshire border to Pipe-cum-Lyde on the northern outskirts of Hereford. Ours has been a forward-thinking Deanery, leading the way in collaborative ministry, new vocations and fulfilment of parish offer. But it is a time of transition; as well as the appoint- ment of a new rector to the Leominster Team, two new benefices joined us on 1 April 2021. These changes provide an opportunity to work together with the newly formed Deanery Leadership Team, creating a new Mission Action Plan and Deanery Pastoral Scheme, and re-examining the best models for joint ministry across the Leominster Team. The clergy chapter currently meets about ten times a year, as well as meetings which include the Deanery Lay Co-Chair, Deanery Leadership Team, Readers and other licenced lay ministers. Once or twice a year (when pre-Covid arrangements resume) there is a social event to which clergy with PTOs and their spouses/partners are also invited. The Diocese of Hereford operates on a ‘parish offer’ model, and the total offer budgeted by the deanery for 2021 is £363,111.

  • Ludlow, Silurian) Positive Carbon Isotope Excursion in the Type Ludlow Area, Shropshire, England?
    At what stratigraphical level is the mid Ludfordian (Ludlow, Silurian) positive carbon isotope excursion in the type Ludlow area, Shropshire, England? DAVID K. LOYDELL & JIØÍ FRÝDA The balance of evidence suggests that the mid Ludfordian positive carbon isotope excursion (CIE) commences in the Ludlow area, England in the uppermost Upper Whitcliffe Formation, with the excursion continuing into at least the Platyschisma Shale Member of the overlying Downton Castle Sandstone Formation. The Ludlow Bone Bed Member, at the base of the Downton Castle Sandstone Formation has previously been considered to be of Přídolí age. Conodont and 13 thelodont evidence, however, are consistent with the mid Ludfordian age proposed here. New δ Corg data are presented from Weir Quarry, W of Ludlow, showing a pronounced positive excursion commencing in the uppermost Upper Whitcliffe Formation, in strata with a palynologically very strong marine influence. Elsewhere in the world, the mid Ludfordian positive CIE is associated with major facies changes indicated shallowing; the lithofacies evidence from the Ludlow area is consistent with this. There appears not to be a major stratigraphical break at the base of the Ludlow Bone Bed Member. • Key words: Silurian, Ludlow, carbon isotopes, conodonts, chitinozoans, thelodonts, stratigraphy.

  • HEREFORDSHIRE Is Repeatedly Referred to in Domesday As Lying In
    ABO BLOOD GROUPS, HUMAN HISTORY AND LANGUAGE IN HEREFORDSHIRE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE LOW B FREQUENCY IN EUROPE I. MORGAN WATKIN County Health Department, Aberystwyth Received6.x.64 1.INTRODUCTION HEREFORDSHIREis repeatedly referred to in Domesday as lying in Wales and the county is regularly described as such in the Pipe Rolls until 1249-50. Of the two dozen or so charters granted to the county town, a number are addressed to the citizens of Hereford in Wales. That fluency in Welsh was until 1855oneof the qualifications for the post of clerk to the Hereford city magistrates indicated the county's bilingual nature. The object of the present investigation is to ascertain whether there is any significant genetic difference between the part of Herefordshire conquered by the Anglo-Saxons and the area called "Welsh Hereford- shire ".Assome moorland parishes have lost 50 per cent. of their inhabitants during the last 50 years, the need to carry out the survey is the more pressing. 2.THE HUMAN HISTORY OF HEREFORDSHIRE Pre-Norman Conquest Offa'sgeneral line of demarcation between England and Wales in the eighth century extending in Herefordshire from near Lyonshall to Bridge Sollars, about five miles upstream from Hereford, is inter- mittent in the well-wooded lowlands, being only found in the Saxon clearings. From this Fox (i) infers that the intervening forest with its dense thickets of thorn and bramble filling the space under the tree canopy was an impassable barrier. Downstream to Redbrook (Glos.) the river was probably the boundary but the ferry crossing from Beachley to Aust and the tidal navigational rights up the Wye were retained by the Welsh—facts which suggest that the Dyke was in the nature of an agreed frontier.
