  • Withington Group Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan
    Withington Group Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan Page 1 of 31 Withington Group Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan 2011-2031 Signed off by Withington Group Parish on 20th September 2018 Foreword The Neighbourhood Development Plan for the Withington Group of Parishes will be part of the planning framework of policies that guide and direct development in the three parishes. It is a formal document that has to pass certain “tests” before it can be adopted, including compliance with national and County policies, being based on sound evidence, and approval through a referendum for the local community. As a formal document it may seem a bit daunting at first glance – but to do its job it has to fall squarely within the remit of planning law. Thus, it deals with “Development” in the planning sense – i.e. projects that need planning permission. It is important that the theme of “Sustainable Development” runs through the whole document – and one aspect of sustainability is the meaningful engagement of the public with the process. Thus, whilst consultants have been involved in the preparation – the plan is definitely “Ours” – i.e. one that the communities of the Withington Group can “own” as their own work. Once adopted the Neighbourhood Development Plan will be a formal document used to assess relevant planning applications for development in the area. Neighbourhood Development Plans were brought into existence by the Localism Act 2011 (and related regulations). The intention was to allow local communities to come together, typically through Parish Councils, to say where they think new development should go and what such development should look like.

  • The Book Collection at St Guthlac's Priory, Hereford, Before 1200
    The Book Collection at St Guthlac’s Priory, Hereford, Before 1200: Acquisition, Adaptation and Use Christopher Ian Tuckley Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD The University of Leeds Institute for Medieval Studies June 2009 The candidate confirms that the work is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have been particularly fortunate in having had the benefit of sponsorship throughout my research: the first three years of study were funded by the White Rose Consortium of universities, which also paid a stipend. A generous grant from the Lynne Grundy Trust allowed me to present a paper on the priory book collection at the International Congress on Medieval Studies at Kalamazoo, Michigan, in May 2008. Thanks are due to a number of individuals within the academic community for their assistance and advice in the completion of this thesis. Debby Banham, Orietta Da Rold, Sarah Foot, William Flynn, Richard Gameson, Monica Green, Thom Gobbit, Michael Gullick, Juliet Hewish, Geoffrey Humble, Takako Kato, Bella Millet, Alan Murray, Katie Neville, Clare Pilsworth, Richard Sharpe, Rodney Thomson, Elaine Trehame, Karen Watts, and the staff of the Bodleian, Jesus College, Hereford Cathedral and York Minster libraries have all given guidance at one point or another. I also gratefully acknowledge the help of the Dean and Chapter of Hereford Cathedral. Julia Barrow’s advice has been especially valuable in making sense of a number of medieval charters relating to St Guthlac’s Priory, and I owe her a great debt of gratitude in this respect.

  • Herefordshire Past
    Herefordshire Past The Newsletter of The Trust for the Victoria County History of Herefordshire Registered charity no. 1070427 Series 2, No. 28, Autumn 2019 Notes from the Editor The last Newsletter was a bumper edition; this time we are back to our usual length. Our contributing editors for Cradley have again written articles for this Newsletter, both, as it happens, on rectors of Cradley. One rector, though a pluralist, seems to have been a popular incumbent; the other was outlawed for murder. David Whitehead looks at 19th- and early 20th-century Colwall as a resort village, taking advantage of the springs on the Malvern hills. I have been doing a bit more work on the Mordiford dragon and its origins since the brief note in last autumn’s Newsletter. May I again make a plea for copy for the next number? As I have said before, we are interested in articles about all parts of the county. Perhaps by the spring more VCH volunteer groups will be up and running and able to make contributions to the newsletter, but we could still do with a wider range of articles. I cannot refer to volunteers without mentioning the Wills Group, one of the original Herefordshire VCH volunteer groups, which has closed down after nearly 14 years of work. You can read a little more about the group elsewhere in this newsletter. To turn to VCH work in progress. The Colwall text is going through the final editorial process at the central VCH. It has been peer reviewed, a process which threw up only a few additional queries, and all that now remains to be done is to finalise the illustrations and prepare the maps.

  • Anglo-Saxon Constitutional History
    English Legal History Seminar 2/3/2015 Page 1 I. WHAT WAS AETHELBERT ALL ABOUT? a. To work the church into the society? b. To make it clear, as the missionaries were telling him, that it’s ok to accept money to settle the feud? c. Because the Irish and (somewhat later) the English were writing Pentitentials? Extracts from an Irish penitential of c. 800: “Ch.5 Of anger. 2 Anyone who kills his son or daughter does penance twenty-one years. Anyone who kills his mother or father does penance fourteen years. Anyone who kills his brother or sister or the sister of his mother or father, or the brother of his father or mother, does penance ten years: and this rule is to be followed to seven degrees both of the mother’s and father’s kin — to the grandson and great-grandson and great-great-grandson, and the sons of the great-great-grandson, as far as the finger-nails.... Seven years of penance are assigned for all other homicides; excepting persons in orders, such as a bishop or a priest, for the power to fix penance rests with the king who is over the laity, and with the bishop, whether it be exile for life, or penance for life. If the offender can pay fines, his penance is less in proportion.” This is, of course, a typical wegeld system converted into penances. “Ch. 4 Of envy. 5.... There are four cases in which it is right to find fault with the evil that is in a man who will not accept cure by means of entreaty and kindness: either to prevent someone else from abetting him to this evil; or to correct the evil itself; or to confirm the good; or out of compassion for him who does the evil.
