HEREFORDSHIRE ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB REPORT, 1953. 51 1953 REPORT The Club, having been founded in April, 1950, is now complet­ ing the fourth year of its existence with 121 members as at December 31st, 1953, compared with 88 at the end of last year. This is an encouraging increase. The Annual Report for 1951 was reviewed at some length ill British Birds Magazine last June, where it was given a good welcome. The main criticism made was that no survey of the birds occurring in the county of Herefordshire was given. We do not think that this is the purpose of an Annual Report, even though it was our first, which is devoted mainly to notes on birds which have been observed during the year under its review. An excel­ lent bibliography will be found in this Report in Captain Gilbert's article on p. 53 which covers all the county records. During the year Field Meetings, which were quite well attended, were held at the Severn Wildfowl Trust Grounds, Rhos-goch Common, Staunton-on­ Arrow, Titley area to see Pied Flycatchers in nesting-boxes (by kind per­ mission of Mr. Howard Bulmer), Eastnor Park (by kind permission of Lady Somers), together with Malvern Wells, and, finally Llyn Hilyn. Indoor meetings included talks by Admiral Sir William Tennant on "Birds at Sea"; S. M. O. Alexander on his visit to the Blasket Islands backed by excellent colour films and slides taken by him and his party. Film shows included "Bird life in Colour" by A. F. Park presented by the Herefordshire Photographic Society to which they kindly invited our members. Two R.S.P. films entitled "Avocet Island" and "Birds of the Orkney Islands" were also shown and we were Dart sponsors at the Hereford Town Hall for the showing of Miss K. Tousey's splendid film "Audubon's America." The financial position of the Club improves slowly, but we are not yet in a position to afford to exoend much on lectures and films and our thanks are due to those who have kindly given their services and provided cine­ matograph material at various meetings. We are particularly indebted to Mr. Basil Butcher and Mr. Godfrey Oavies for their help with this latter item. The weathcr in 1953 was kind as a whole and though the spring was rather a cold one the autumn was exceptionally mild and frec from frost and snow. The two most inte;'csting bird features to affect the country were the \nvasion of Crossbills and a big influx of Quail, both of which events reached into Herefordshire. From a more local asoect the re-appearance of French Partridges in N.W. Herefordshire and East Radnorshire, after many vears absence, was of i'lterest. In order to save snac~ and costs the Classi­ fied notes have now been combined for the two cou-nties and the records have been kept clearly in separate paragraphs prefixed bv the letters Hand R to denote Herefordshire and Radnorshire resoectively. It is much regretted that the records for the latter county arc stili vcry meagre, but this state of affairs is likelY to remain until wc can E,a'n the interest and SUODort of more cbscrvers resident in Radncli"shire. ' The !':dl\c,,"s sincere thanks go to observers who suhmitted their notes with model nromntness. the energv of the Editorial Sub-Committee (Dr. C. W. Waike:- and \1essr,. C. J. flrrc';nel!. P. W.

ORMISTON Hon. Treasurer. (Holl. ,luditor). HEREFORDSHIRE ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB REPORT, 1953. 53 HEREFORDSHIRE ORNITHOLOGISTS OF THE PAST By CAPTAIN H. A. GILBERT. Previous to the foundation in 1851 of the Woolhope Naturalists' Club, to which we are affiliated, there were very few references to ornithology in Herefordshire. The earliest reference is contained in an eighteenth century number of the Gentleman's Magazine and records the breeding of the Woodcock in Queen's Wood, near Much Marcle. The first list of Herefordshire birds was published in 1840 by R. M. Lingwood, who afterwards became the first president of the Woolhope Naturalists' Club. This list is to be found in Annal's Natural History (vol. v., pp. 184). In 1845 the Rev. W. E. Evans, who was a prebendary of the Cathedral and lived at Burton Court, published a volume of poems entitled "The Songs of the Birds." After 1840, except for the publications mentioned above, nearly all Herefordshire records are contained in the Transactions of the Woolhope Club, although a few others are recorded in "British Birds." For more than fifty years after the Woolhope Club's foundation the transactions are a record of ruthless butchery of rare birds. In every county town there was a well established <bird-stuffer' or taxidermist, a trade which has now ceased to exist. Anybody who saw a rare or beautiful bird instantly shot it, merely to have it stuffed and displayed in his house with pride. Such people seem to have been absolutely merciless; for instance, Lingwood's list contains mention of a pair of Pied Flycatchers shot in June, 1839. In addition there were numerous collectors who were prepared to pay very high prices for any rarities.

  • 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.
