We are here for those who languish in prison, sometimes unjustly. We are here to bring sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, and to the lame a spark of light such that they leap inwardly with joy. We are here to be instruments of peace and blessing, to enable integrity, honesty and justice to blossom forth, like a refreshing shower of rain after a drought. We are here to be the acceptable face of love in a hard and cruel world, to reach out and offer the hand of friendship. We are here to bring healing to those that mourn or who are sad, to be a garland of joy, of sweet smelling flowers instead of the dead hand of ashes. We are here to enrobe each other with the garments of love, praise and joy so to bring light to the spirit of heaviness which sometimes bows us down. We do this, so that we all of us here, now, in this place might be called trees of righteousness, So that we might (in our hearts) become the plantings of love. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; So must righteousness, peace, love and joy spring forth from our hearts like a stream of living water. And remember this – it must flow not only from us but also between us.

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.

  • DRAFT NDP 16Th January 2015
    ALMELEY DRAFT PARISH NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2015-2031 ALMELEY PARISH – THE FUTURE VIEW OF AN AREA OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTY, ALMELEY. ©Almeley Parish Council 2015. 1 Foreword In 2011, the Government decided that local communities should be closely involved in decisions which affect them, and the Localism Act was placed on the Statute Book. This introduced the concept of Neighbourhood Development Plans, allowing local communities to influence new development in their area. At a public meeting In September 2012 Almeley Parish Council resolved to produce a Neighbourhood Development Plan with the aim of identifying a vision for the parish for the Plan period 2013-2031. Once made, the Plan becomes part of Herefordshire District Council’s planning framework which informs and controls the local planning authority’s decisions. The Plan will have legal status. A Steering Group was established, the purpose of which was to design a questionnaire. Residents were fully informed throughout the process and opinions and ideas invited. Once approved by the Parish Council, the questionnaire was circulated to every adult resident of the parish and 167 responses were submitted to the Parish Council. The results of the questionnaire were analysed and during a series of meetings with residents a wide range of issues emerged that will influence the wellbeing of residents and contribute towards the long-term preservation of this rural community. Development of the Plan followed analysis of the questionnaire which was refined by an advisory group, working with the Parish Council. Every effort was made by the Advisory Group to ensure that the Plan reflects the views of the majority of Almeley residents.

At its heart is the Heritage at Risk Register, an online database containing details of each site known to be at risk. It is analysed and updated annually and this leaflet summarises the results. Heritage at Risk teams are now in each of our nine local offices, delivering national expertise locally. The good news is that we are on target to save 25% (1,137) of the sites that were on the Register in 2010 by 2015. From St Barnabus Church in Birmingham to the Guillotine Lock on the Stratford Canal, this success is down to good partnerships with owners, developers, the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), Natural England, councils and local groups.

  • Sir John Oldcastle Downloaded From
    484 July Sir John Oldcastle Downloaded from INCE the early days of the English Reformation Sir John S Oldcastle has held a high place in the traditions of his country. Two of the chief advocates of protestantism, seeking edification in the history of their Lollard predecessors, published accounts of http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ his Bufferings; and his renown, proclaimed by Tyndale's work,1 and doubtless increased by the issue of Bale's Bre/e Chronyclc* grew higher and higher till he came to be regarded as a, national heTo. Early in the reign of Elixabeth, however, Foxe had to defend his eulogy of Oldcastle against the criticism of a Roman catholic historian ; and a generation or so later the Lollard advocates broke a lance with the dramatist*, whose traditions made Oldcastle fl. roystering buffoon. The sympathies of the ascendant at University of Manitoba on August 31, 2015 party were on Foxe's side; his reply succeeded in silencing hiB opponent, and Shakespeare was driven to change the surname of a famous character from Oldcastle to Falstaff.1 Oldcastle'a fame has been kept alive down to modern times by fresh editions of old works and the publication of new ones.

  • Almeley Regulation 16 Representations
    Latham, James From: Turner, Andrew Sent: 23 July 2018 15:43 To: Neighbourhood Planning Team Subject: RE: Almeley Regulation 16 neighbourhood development plan consultation Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Completed RE: Almeley Regulation 16 draft Neighbourhood Development Plan Dear Neighbourhood Planning Team, I refer to the above and would make the following comments with regard to the above proposed development plan. It is my understanding that you do not require comment on Core Strategy proposals as part of this consultation or comment on sites which are awaiting or have already been granted planning approval. Having reviewed records readily available, I would advise the following: 1. A review of Ordnance survey historical plans indicate the proposed housing development site ‘Policy ALM11: Land to north of West View’ indicated in light brown on the ‘Almeley village policies map’, has no previous historic potentially contaminative uses. 2. ‘Policy ALM13: Redevelopment of Land at Woonton Farm’ as indicated in grey on the ‘Woonton polices map’. This proposed ‘housing development’ site appears from a review of Ordnance survey historical plans to have historically been used as orchards. By way of general advice I would mention that orchards can be subject to agricultural spraying practices which may, in some circumstances, lead to a legacy of contamination and any development should consider this. 3. I would also advise the following regarding the proposed development sites; ‘Policy ALM13: Redevelopment of Land at Woonton Farm’ & ‘Policy ALM14: Residential Use Associated with Historic Farmsteads’ Some farm buildings may be used for the storage of potentially contaminative substances (oils, herbicides, pesticides) or for the maintenance and repair of vehicles and machinery.

    Quaker Meeting House, Almeley Wootton Almeley Wootton, HR3 6PX National Grid Reference: SO 33276 52425 Statement of Significance Almeley Wootton meeting house is an interesting example of a vernacular timber-framed building built as a meeting house in 1672, by Quaker Roger Prichard. It has high significance for the building, furnishings and the associated burial ground. Evidential value The meeting house and burial ground are considered to have medium archaeological potential and evidential value, relating to the fabric of the building and the archaeology of the site and burial ground. Historical value The meeting house has historic value for its association with a particular Quaker, Roger Prichard who built and gave the building to the local meeting, a typical example of late seventeenth century meeting house provision. The historic burial ground contains headstones of local Quaker families and the whole site has high historic value. Aesthetic value The meeting house is a good example of local vernacular architecture, built in the timber-framed tradition of the area. The grounds, burial ground and rural setting enhance its high aesthetic value. Communal value The meeting house is mainly used by the Quaker community and although it has potential for wider use, at present this is not realised. Communal value is medium.
