  • 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.

  • Golden Valley Dorstone Arthurs Stone Peterchurch Vowchurch Dore Abbey Ewyas Harold a Day Trip to View the Churches of Herefords
    Golden Valley Dorstone Arthurs Stone Peterchurch Vowchurch Dore Abbey Ewyas Harold A day trip to view the churches of Herefordshire’s magnificent Golden Valley I must confess I hadn’t heard of Golden Valley, at the foot of the Black Mountains in the Welsh Border area, until I saw the DVD of Shadowlands. The film is about C.S. Lewis’s tragic romance with American poet and writer Joy Gresham (also known as Joy Davidman) who is dying of bone cancer. A picture of the Golden Valley hangs on the wall of Lewis’s house in Oxford (it's actually of the River Wye at Symonds Yat - the movie makers took some liberties!) and Joy asks Lewis to drive her there in the final stages of her illness (another liberty- Lewis never learnt to drive!). They stay at a hotel built in black and white vernacular style; and in the final touching scene of the film Lewis is seen after her death, playing with Joy’s son in the valley. The first church I visited was St. Faith’s in Dorstone which lies just off the main road. There have been four churches here since it was first mentioned in the 6th century. The most famous one, a chapel, was built by Richard de Brito’s relatives in 1256 – de Brito was one of the knights who murdered Thomas a Becket (he is said to have broken his sword chopping off Becket’s head) and they built the chapel to atone for his crime. The present church was built in 1889 in the early English style and the most notable feature is the elaborate wooden entrance portico.

    Herefordshire Past The Newsletter of The Trust for the Victoria County History of Herefordshire Registered charity no. 1070427 Series 2, No. 27, Spring 2019 Chairman’s Letter There has been good progress with the Colwall volume. Alex Craven, an experienced researcher with the Gloucestershire VCH, took over as contributing editor in January and has now submitted a first draft to the committee. We will submit a final text to the central VCH staff in London later in the summer. Work on Cradley is progressing very well indeed. Anastasia has drafted several sections for the period after 1550, and Fergus is searching the sources for the medieval period. We are most grateful to Duncan James for researching the early buildings of Cradley for us. Charles Watkins In this issue ...

Vowchurch and District Group Parish Council has undertaken to prepare an NDP and this process has been subject to environmental appraisal pursuant to the SEA Directive. The group parish of Vowchurch and District consists of five parish areas: Michaelchurch Escley, Newton, St Margaret’s, Turnastone and Vowchurch. They lie within the Golden Valley situated in the west of Herefordshire on the Welsh border. The Group Parish area consists of 24 ancient woodland, 32 Special Wildlife Sites, 8 Ancient Monuments, 4 Sites and Special Scientific Interest and 4 unregistered park and gardens. The area is predominately rural with the dwellings having a high degree of physical separation between them.
