  • Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549
    “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.

  • Landscape Character Assessment Supplementary Planning Guidance
    LANDSCAPE CHARACTER ASSESSMENT Supplementary Planning Guidance 2004 Updated 2009 Landscape Character Assessment ~ SPG 2004 ~ updated 2009 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Herefordshire’s Landscape Character Assessment was researched, co-ordinated, written and updated by Jane Patton, my predecessor, during the period 1999 – 2006. She received invaluable support, encouragement and practical help from a number of people, in particular from Chris Bray and Kay Adams of Worcestershire County Council. Kay Adams and Jonathan Porter (Countryscape consultancy) undertook the initial survey work for Herefordshire, while Bill Jackson (Estate Agent), provided them with offi ce accommodation in Leominster. Steven Warnock, the regional consultant for the production of Landscape Character Assessments, provided expert advice. Advice and encouragement also came from other Local Authorities with whom he was working, notably Dr. Stephen Potter in Staffordshire, Jerry Birbeck in Warwickshire and Rob Pinsent from Shropshire. Dr. Delia Hooke provided much of the initial historical/cultural survey information and analysis, while Paul White from Herefordshire Archaeology later gave valuable insights from his Historic Landscape Characterisation. Penny Oliver of the CPRE (Council for the Protection of Rural England) provided extra data and analysis, particularly regarding woodland cover. Dr. Peter Oliver from the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Earth Heritage Trust checked and re-wrote the geological and soil entries. Anthea Bryan from the Herefordshire Nature Trust provided data and Geoff Gwatkin supplied copies of the county tithe maps. Bridgit Symons, (working for Countryscape consultancy at the time, and who is currently Planning Ecologist for Herefordshire Council), did the ecological fi eldwork required and provided ecological data and analysis. Steve Dring and Gill Eyre undertook the site visits needed to verify information in the Landscape Character Assessment.
