Most of the 'Predators are also in low water. This is a country-wide phenom­ enon, the SUbject of official inquiry, and almost ceNainly connected with the use of toxic chemicals. One Buzzard was picked up dead in Herefordshire, analyzed, and found to contain residues of four separate poiSiOns. The most not3Jble rarities recorded were the two Rough-legged Buzzards, the Osprey, Little Ringed Plover, Bar-tailed Godwit, two Hoopoes, Hooded Crow, Waxwings and two Snow Buntings. Equally remarkable and gratifying was the unusual prevalence of both Quail and Corncrake. Collared Doves took up residence in one locality, for the first time. \Vhooper and Bewick's Swans, which were rarely recorded prior to 1961, now s'eem to have become welcome and regular winter visitors to the 'V'ye. The occurrence of Gadwall and a Pintail in ,Radnorshire was most unusual, also the occurrence of Common Scoters which wer-e no doubt storm"driven, as was the Manx Shearwater at Hereford. MEMBERSHIP.

    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.

It advises upon the conservation of archaeological and historic landscapes, maintains the county Sites and Monument Record, and carries out conservation and investigative field projects. The County Archaeologist is Dr. Keith Ray. 1 Herefordshire Woodlands Pilot Scheme: Phase 2. Wapley Hill Wood Herefordshire Archaeology Report No. 83 Herefordshire Archaeology, November 2003. Summary: The survey described in this report, (HSM No. 34023), formed part of a pilot study undertaken in partnership with the Forestry Commission. A rapid walkover survey was carried out in the woods concerned. A hand held Global Positioning System was used to record the location of features encountered. Features recorded within the woodlands surveyed, (The Warren, Crabtree Wood and Goden’s Wood) date in certain instances from the Iron Age and the medieval periods, but the majority illustrate the use of the woodland resource in the post medieval period. These latter features include saw pits, charcoal burning platforms, quarries and woodland management boundaries. The significant exception to this was identified within ‘The Warren’, an area almost totally lacking evidence of woodland management. Apart from the Iron Age hillfort, the most significant feature identified in this area was a massive enclosure. This was found to have two phases. It enclosesd the whole of the area, known later as The Warren.
  • ELECTORAL REVIEW of HEREFORDSHIRE

    ELECTORAL REVIEW of HEREFORDSHIRE

    22 November 2012 Review Officer (Herefordshire) LGBCE, Layden House, 76-86 Turnmill Street, London EC1M 5LG Dear Sir ELECTORAL REVIEW of HEREFORDSHIRE I support the Commission’s plan for a 53 member council made up of single member wards, and hope the Commission will resist any moves to make way for any multi- member wards. There were some gremlins however in your report – most notably mis- reading of compass bearings! Eardisley is firmly located in the west, whereas Colwall is the east (page 15), and Fownhope is east of Hereford (page 17). But the Commission is to be congratulated on steering through a workable solution despite all the constraints imposed both by the regulations and the socio-political geography of Herefordshire. There does seem to be some problem with Holmer parish which has been included within adjacent areas of Hereford city without making this clear. This seems certain to meet with justified resistance from residents of Holmer parish. Otherwise I support the thrust of proposals for warding within Hereford city, as well as those for Ledbury and Leominster, and am content with the proposals for Ross on Wye. I support the bulk of the Commission’s proposals in rural areas but have some suggestions below which better match community links. First some suggestions for change of name of proposed rural wards LGBCE Nov 2012 comment preferred name Burghill long straggly ward from outskirts of Queenswood Leominster to Hereford Bishops Frome potential confusion with other communities Cradley within Frome valley which aren’t is this ward – prefer name of main parish in the ward Walford prefer current name which implies links Kerne Bridge across River Wye Ashperton Frome valley Clehonger name Madley as more central parish Madley & Clehonger Kimbolton Kimbolton & Brimfield Colwall The Commission has suggested that Mathon be added to Colwall but Colwall ward is already large enough and Mathon has stronger ties with Cradley so inclusion with Bishop’s Frome, renamed Cradley , would produce slightly more balanced electorates.

In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. • Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. Where only a baptism date is given for an individual born after 1837, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter.
