  • Worcestershire Has Fluctuated in Size Over the Centuries
    HUMAN GENETICS IN WORCESTERSHIRE AND THE SHAKESPEARE COUNTRY I. MORGAN WATKIN County Health Department, Abet ystwyth Received7.x.66 1.INTRODUCTION THEwestern limits of Worcestershire lie about thirty miles to the east of Offa's Dyke—the traditional boundary between England and Wales —yet Evesham in the south-eastern part of the county is described by its abbot in a petition to Thomas Cromwell in as situated within the Principality of Wales. The Star Chamber Proceedings (No. 4) in the reign of Henry VII refer to the bridge of stone at Worcester by which the king's subjects crossed from England into Wales and the demonstrations against the Act of 1430 regulating navigation along the Severn were supported by large numbers of Welshmen living on the right bank of the river in Worcestershire. The object of the investigation is to ascertain whether significant genetic differences exist in the population of Worcestershire and south-western Warwickshire and, in particular, whether the people living west of the Severn are more akin to the Welsh than to the English. The possibility of determining, on genetic grounds, whether the Anglo- Saxon penetration was strongest from the south up the rivers Severn and Avon, or across the watershed from the Trent in the north, or from the east through Oxfordshire and Warwickshire is also explored. 2. THECOUNTY Worcestershirehas fluctuated in size over the centuries and Stratford-on-Avon came for a period under its jurisdiction while Shipston-on-Stour, now a Warwickshire township, remained in one of the detached portions of Worcestershire until the turn of the present century.

  • The Anglo-Saxon Origins of the West Midlands Shires
    THE ANGLO-SAXON ORIGINS OF THE WEST MIDLANDS SHIRES Sheila Waddington Provincial organisation in late Anglo-Saxon England consisted of discrete territories organised to promote both defence and the maintenance of essential public works. In Mercia the territories comprised its shire structure: the regime through which defence, public works, governance, taxation, and administration of justice were undertaken. John Speed’s County Map of Staffordshire, 1611. Mary Evans Picture Library/Mapseeker Publishing Library/Mapseeker Picture 1611. Mary Evans County Map of Staffordshire, John Speed’s Shires and hundreds; Speed’s seventeenth-century map of Staffordshire reveals the units of tenth-century local government. www.historywm.com 19 ANGLO-SAXON ORIGINS OF THE SHIRES he territories which ultimately became Staffordshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, and Herefordshire have Anglo-Saxon origins. A close look at the last three shires Tsuggests the possibility of a territorial organisation dated to the British period, with bounds discernible in the Anglo-Saxon shire structure. The Shire and the Hundred The system of local government which existed over the greater part of England at the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066 had two tiers: the shire and the hundred. There is much debate about when these two structures were first in evidence in the west midlands and the more prevalent view is that they probably originated in Wessex and were later imposed early in the tenth century after the West Saxons annexed western Mercia. Both the terms ‘shire’ and ‘hundred’ are imprecise ones, and their uses, even as late as the Conquest, may be inconsistent. A ‘shire’ was the Old English word for any area of jurisdiction or control carved out of a larger one, and did not refer necessarily to a territory which later became a modern-day county.
