  • 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.

  • Dilwyn Neighbourhood Development Plan Basic Conditions Statement (January 2019)
    Dilwyn Neighbourhood Development Plan Basic Conditions Statement (January 2019) Section 1 - Introduction This Basic Conditions Statement is prepared to accompany the Dilwyn Neighbourhood Development Plan. It is submitted by Dilwyn Parish Council, which is the qualifying body under the Localism Act 2011. Dilwyn Neighbourhood Development Plan covers the Dilwyn Neighbourhood Plan area only and no other Neighbourhood Plan areas. The Local Plan for the Parish is the Herefordshire Local Plan Core Strategy (HCS) which was adopted on 16 October 2015. Herefordshire Council has also indicated it will prepare a Travellers Development Plan and a Natural Resources/Minerals and Waste Development Plan. It is expected that, in combination, these will comprise the Development Plan Documents for Dilwyn Parish. The NDP specifies the period for which it is to have effect, which is 2011-2031. This Basic Conditions Statement has been prepared to show that the Dilwyn Neighbourhood Development Plan complies with the provisions of Schedule 4B of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as amended. The basic conditions required by this provision are that such plans should: 1. That having regard to national policies and advice contained in guidance issued by the Secretary of State, it is appropriate to make the Neighbourhood Development Plan. 2. Contribute to the achievement of sustainable development. 3. Be in general conformity with the strategic policies contained in the development plan for the area of the authority (or any part of that area). 4. Not breach, and is otherwise compatible with, EU obligations. 5. Meet Prescribed conditions in relation to the Neighbourhood Development Plan and comply with prescribed matters in connection with the proposal for the Neighbourhood Development Plan.
