    “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.

We are very pleased with the alliums we planted by the pond last year, they give a good splash of colour, and the lewisia are flowering particularly well. There are lots of gardens for you to view this summer, with the Tarrington Open Gardens event happening again, providing the addi- tional opportunity to view progress at Stoke Edith Station.

  • Tarrington Tatler
    Tarrington Tatler Welcome to the latest edition of the Tarrington Tatler. Community news, events and a whole lot more... Deadline for submission for the next issue: Tuesday 22 March 2016 COULD YOU HELP START A GOOD NEIGHBOUR SCHEME HERE IN TARRINGTON? Following discussion at the Parish Council and Parochial Church Council (PCC) meetings, it has been agreed that we should explore whether we, in Tarrington, could set up a Good Neighbour Scheme. What is a Good Neighbour Scheme? A Good Neighbour Scheme is a volunteering scheme which aims to support people in our community. There are already such schemes running in Here- fordshire and the setting up of them is being encouraged and supported by the Council and the Diocese. This is a free service but funding is available for set-up costs and the expenses incurred by volunteers. Each scheme runs to suit its community but all have a group of volunteers who are able to as- sist an individual or family to do things they are unable to do themselves. These are usually ‘one-off’ things but could be extended if appropriate. So how does it work? There is a co-ordinator who has a mobile phone with a widely circulated number so that anyone can ring at times to be agreed. The co-ordinator will identify the available volunteer most appropriate for the job. Examples of help given range from changing light bulbs to fetching prescriptions, clearing a garden, helping a parent with a sick child, etc. Things a good neighbour would do! The mobile phone has proved to be a success as calling can be discreet.

These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

Judi Funds raised for St Michael’s Hospice & Tarrington Church Thanks to Margaret Bradstock, who had the idea of donating mistletoe from the orchards at Free Town Farm, we managed to raise over £500 for the Hospice and Church. We would like to thank The Nest and Ledbury Council, who gave us space to sell the mistletoe on that chilly day. My only regret is that I only got virtual kisses – a shame with all that mistletoe around me! Thanks also go to the helpers, John Watkins from Tarrington, Ro, Brian, Margaret and Richard from Little Tarrington. Thank you to all the people who donated on that day, you were all very generous.
