  • Sodomy, the Courts and the Civic Idiom in Eighteenth-Century Bristol
    Urban History, 34, 1 (2007) C 2007 Cambridge University Press Printed in the United Kingdom doi:10.1017/S0963926807004385 ‘Bringing great shame upon this city’: sodomy, the courts and the civic idiom in eighteenth-century Bristol STEVE POOLE∗ School of History, University of the West of England, Bristol, St Matthias Campus, Bristol BS16 2JP abstract: During the 1730s, Bristol acquired an unenviable reputation as a city in which sodomy was endemic and rarely punished by the civil power. Although the cause lay partly in difficulties experienced in securing convictions, the resolve of magistrates was exposed to fierce scrutiny.Taking an effusive curate’s moral vindication of the city as a starting point, this article examines the social production of sodomy in eighteenth-century Bristol, analyses prosecution patterns and considers the importance of collective moral reputation in the forging of civic history. The Saints Backsiding In 1756, Emanuel Collins, curate, schoolmaster and doggerel poet, penned an extraordinary moral vindication of the city of Bristol, following the public disclosure of a pederasty scandal in the Baptist College and the flight of a number of suspects. In a rare flash of wit, he entitled it, The Saints Backsiding. Not for the first time, it appeared, Collins’ home city was being whispered about elsewhere as a place in which sodomitical transgression was both endemic and unpunished. ‘I am not unacquainted with the many foul reflections that have been cast on my Fellow-Citizens of BRISTOL concerning this most abominable vice’, Collins began, but ‘tis the fate of all cities to be the conflux of bad men.’ They go there ‘to hide themselves in the multitude and to seek security in the crowd’.

There were an additional 1,100 non-UK short-term residents who were not counted as usual residents on the Census day. The population growth rate between 2001 and 2011 at 5.7%, or an annual growth of 3,200 people, was lower than the national average of 7.8%. A third of the growth was attributable to Gloucester where demographic demand for services and infrastructure would have surged during the period. The current population consisted of 136,600 children and young people aged 0- 19, 349,000 adults aged 20-64, and 111,400 older people aged 65 or above. This included an increase in the working age and the older population, and a small reduction in the number of children and young people in the previous 10 years.

  • 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 TEWKESBURY and CHELTENHAM ROADS A. Cossons
    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 1998 pages 40-46 THE TEWKESBURY AND CHELTENHAM ROADS A. Cossons The complicated nature of the history of the Tewkesbury turnpike trust and of its offshoot, the Cheltenham trust, makes it desirable to devote more space to it than that given in the notes to the schedules of Acts to most of the other roads. The story begins on 16 December 1721, when a petition was presented to the House of Commons from influential inhabitants of Tewkesbury, Ashchurch, Bredon, Didbrook, and many other places in the neighbourhood, stating that erecting of a Turnpike for repairing the Highways through the several Parishes aforesaid from the End of Berton-street, in Tewkesbury, to Coscombgate .......... is very necessary'. The petitioners asked for a Bill to authorize two turnpikes, one at Barton Street End, Tewkesbury, and one at Coscomb Gate, at the top of Stanway Hill. Two days later a committee reported that they had examined Joseph Jones and Thomas Smithson and were of the opinion that the roads through the several parishes mentioned in the petition 'are so very bad in the Wintertime, that they are almost impassable, and enough to stifle Man and Horse; and that Waggons cannot travel through the said Roads in the Sumer-time'. Leave was given to bring in a Bill and this was read for the first time the next day. During the period before the second reading was due, two petitions were presented on 23 January 1721-2, - one from Bredon, Eckington, etc., and the other from Pershore, Birlingham, and other places.
