In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. • Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. Where only a baptism date is given for an individual born after 1837, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter.

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.

Lca 13 Profile
Landscape Character Area 13: THE BLACK MOUNTAINS LANDSCAPE CHARACTER AREA 13: THE BLACK MOUNTAINS Broad Landscape Type: MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS Description Location and Context This large LCA includes the highest land associated with the Black Mountains. It is located on the eastern edge of the National Park, and its character extends beyond the National Park boundary into England. To the north is the Wye Valley Foothills LCA, to the west the Eastern Usk Valley LCA and to the south Skirrid and Sugar Loaf LCA. Summary Description This LCA is largely defined by its topography: a series of broad ridges running north-south and separated by narrow, steep-sided valleys. It contains some of the highest land in the National Park- the summit of Waun Fach is over 800m above sea level. The higher moorlands are empty and remote, contrasting with the more pastoral and settled valleys between them. This is a rich archaeological landscape, with a concentration of surviving prehistoric features on the higher land, as well as the Medieval Llanthony Priory in the Vale of Ewyas. The valleys contain a network of ancient farms, fields, woodland and winding lanes. View south-west from Twmpa, showing the ridges of the Black Mountains Historical Development of the Landscape This landscape has been shaped over several millennia, with features surviving from many phases of human occupation. The earliest monuments are prehistoric cairns and barrows representing an extensive ritual landscape, and there are also early defensive sites including the prominent surviving Iron Age hillforts at Table Mountain. Surviving Medieval landscape features include Llanthony Priory, Cwmyoy church and many of the lanes and farms.

Walking Information
Warmth & Wonder at Garn Farm Walking Information Suggested routes and ideas… Finding your bearings… This information aims to help you enjoy making the most of exploring the local area on foot, with destination ideas and some suggested routes. Ordnance Survey Maps of the area are available for you to use – please just remember to put them back in The Barn before you leave. We also link to some walks we’ve tracked using the free ViewRanger app - www.viewranger.com. You can find all our published routes at http://bit.ly/wandw-walks - but always take an OS map as well as the ViewRanger Route (they are only a guide to the route, which you will still need to pinpoint on the OS map). The lie of the land… There are a number of footpaths in the valley and up to Hatterrall Ridge – some of these paths are better kept than others. So please do bear in mind that some of the footpaths are not very well maintained and prone to getting overgrown in places – it’s the side effect of being a quiet, almost secret, valley. The routes we suggest are tried and tested, but that doesn’t mean they are always clear and none but the main Offa’s Dyke path are ‘super signed’ or used regularly enough to make them unmissable. We are always happy to give advice if you are unsure. Be prepared… Common sense really, but ensure you’re prepared before heading out… the hills can be misleading and the weather can change rapidly – and it’s always colder up on the ridge than it is down here.

Black Mountains and Golden Valley Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

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.

Heaven Balanced on a Grassblade
Viewpoint Heaven balanced on a grassblade Time: 15 mins Region: Wales Landscape: rural Location: Llanthony Priory, Vale of Ewyas near Abergavenny, Monmouthshire NP7 7NN Grid reference: SO 28862 27864 The ruined arches of Llanthony Priory stick out of the ground like the rib cage of a slayed dragon, now forever at rest in the valley bottom. The Priory lies in one of the remotest areas in Britain, tucked into the Honddu Valley between two hilly ridges of the Black Mountains, far from the nearest towns of Abergavenny and Hay. The road to it is just a single track. Walking among the ruins today it can feel like the mountainsides are the Priory’s walls and the sky it’s ceiling. Stop and lift your gaze to the heavens as the monks might have done. Let a sense of the openness and remoteness of this place wash over you. Why was such a remote location chosen for the priory, and why have people been drawn to this place ever since? Look at our surroundings and note the steep valley sides: even today, the Vale of Ewyas is pretty secluded. The Black Mountains form a triangle of hilly land between Hay-on-Wye in the north, Abergaveny in the south, and the village of Llangors in the west. The Vale of Ewyas sits on the eastern edge of this triangle and the key route to it is along the highest road pass in Wales: the Gospel Pass. It is said the road got its name because this was the way St Paul travelled to Wales to preach the gospel.
