T. DAVI:ES, Chartered Accountant. 21 st February, 1967. 236 HEREFORDSHIRE ORNITHOLOGICAL REPORT, 1966 1966 REPORT The year proved favourable to birds, with no very severe weather and a very mild autUmn; but heavy winds, and snow, in mid-April did some damage to tree-nesting birds and perh3Jps others. In Herefordshire Kingfishers and Grey Wagtails continued to in­ crease, but Quail were very scarce, especially at Shobdon aerodrome where they once flourished. More Collared Doves were noted. but actual breeding was not confirmed. Among unusual birds which visited the County were a Great Northern Diver, a pair of Garganey, a pair of Gadwall which actually nested, as did a pair of Hobbies; three Peregrines were also seen, a Comcrake and three Hoopoes, and rarest, and most tragic of all in view of its fate, a Wryneck. Although only one iWhooper Swan was recorded, a record influx of 53 :&wicks appeared during February. In Radnorshire two IManx Shearwaters were 'wrecked' and res­ cued, two Peregrines recorded and a Comcr3Jke, and the second Black-tailed Godwit and third Waxwing records were made. MEMBERSHIP. Fifty seven new members joined during the year, giving a net increase of Z7 and a total membership of 378 at Dec. 31st. CLUB OUTINGS were held at Haugh ,W()od (3), Turner's Boat, Talybont Reservoir, Llowes, 'Wigmore Rolls, Belvide Reservoir Staffs, Painscastle, Moelienydd (2), cefnHys, Gilwern Dingle, Waun Marteg, Dovey ,Estuary, Cors Tregaron and iWigmore Moor. Indoor meetings at the Percival Hall, Hereford included a Brains Trust ~by members), ,talks with coloured films or slides by G. N. Smith, twice on African or British wild life; IMiss B. N. Bayliss on "Some birds of the Shetlands"; and A. G. Fyshe on Slimbridge. Others to entertain us were Mr. S. C. Porter with his coloured film of "Some Birds of 'East Anglia," and Mr. A. T. Gunter, of the Forestry Commission, on the work of the Commission. Amongst other activities many members took part in the Nest­ box Scheme, run in conjunction with the Herefordshire and Radnor­ shire Nature Trust. IMessrs. Ammonds, Griffiths, McDougall and Owen continued their Common Bird Census for the B.T.O., and we also provided guides and helpers at the Haugh Wood Nature Trail during Nature Week. ACCOUNTS.

Our thanks must also go to Clive Griffiths for his frontispiece of Pied Flycatchers taken in one of his nest boxes in Radnorshire. THE NESTINC-BOX SCHEME The nest-box scheme run by our club members on behalf of the Herefordshire and Radnorshire Nature Trust was extended still further in 1966---its fourth year of operation. Several fresh woods were included, and additional boxes were erected in some of the exist­ ing colonies. The total number of boxes in use was 712, dispersed among 27 woodland areas. Nests were built in 440 boxes, giving an occupation rate of 61 %. Blue tits' nests' numbered 188, great tits' 122, pied flycatchers' 96, redstarts' 15, marsh-tits' 6, coal-tits' 2, wrens' 2, tree-creepers' one, and greater pied woodpeckers' one. From these nests 3,000 young birds eventually fledged succesSlfully. Of the pied flycatchers' nests 79 were in Herefordshire, and all to the west of a north-south line drawn through Hereford city to bisect the county.

    “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.

  • The Birds of Herefordshire 2015
    The Birds of Herefordshire 2015 Herefordshire Ornithological Club Annual Report Jackdaws and Hereford cattle at Much Marcle in March 2015 (Photo: Mick Colquhoun) Editorial This is the 65th annual report of the ‘Birds of Herefordshire’, the Herefordshire Ornithological Club’s (HOC) annual publication for 2015, which I hope you will enjoy reading. During the year a total of 172 species were recorded, summary details and highlights of which are presented in the systematic list section on pages 30 – 98, for which I wish to thank the species authors. An alphabetic index of species is included on pages 146 – 147 to help readers locate individual species information and a gazetteer of place names mentioned in the species accounts is provided on pages 142 – 145. The county list of species (now numbering 281) was boosted by the sighting of a Spotted Sandpiper, a county ‘first’, at Wellington Gravel Pits in May 2015 (see article on pages 28 – 29), and seven other rarities with 20 or fewer previous county records also made an appearance in Herefordshire during the year: Red-crested Pochard, Marsh Harrier, Turnstone, Temminck’s Stint, Red-necked Phalarope, Caspian Gull and Common Redpoll. A tremendous amount of effort has gone into validating the records of rarities on the county list during the past year and the review article on pages 12 – 18 makes enlightening reading and provides a definitive list and dates of sightings for all 94 rarity species with 20 or fewer records. The large increase in the number of bird records received in 2014, compared with previous years, continued in 2015 with a similar 46,000 records being utilised in compiling this annual report.

WILLIAM BREWSTER OF HEREFORD (I665-I715) A BENEFACTOR TO LIBRARIES* by F. C. MORGAN LITTLE has been written about Dr. William Brewster, who in 1715 bequeathed his then important library to be shared between the Bodleian Library and St. John's College, Oxford, and All Saints' Church, Hereford, with other books to be given to his friends.t He was a grandson ofJohn Brewster, who was sheriffof Gloucester in I6I2 and I617, and mayor of the city in I632. William was baptized at Eardisland on 9 November i665, the only child ofJohn Brewster of Burton Court, by his first wife, Margaret. By his second wife Blanche [Louth?] John had eight children. On the titles of several of his books in All Saints' Church he calls himself 'Pharmacopole Londiniensis'.1 Apparently he left Gloucester, where he was born in St. Michael's parish, went to London and became a successful apothecary, though his name does not appear in the Register of the Apothecaries' Company.
