Plans would be regarded as official documents with power to influence government decisions that may affect the communities. in december 2006, The Herefordshire Partnership invited Clifford Parish Council to develop a Parish Plan. Accordingly, in April 2007, the Council formed a Steering Group1, responsible to the Council, whose remit was to produce a Parish Plan for the Council’s consideration. The Plan was required to: » Reflect the views of the whole community. » identify local problems and opportunities. » describe the most highly valued community features to protect them. » Spell out how the community wished to develop. » Prepare a plan of action. The Steering Group began its deliberations by conducting interviews with Parishioners in various Parish activity groups to establish: » What they liked and didn’t like about living in the Parish. » What improvements they felt could be made to the local environment and to existing Parish activities and facilities. » What new activities and facilities they felt should be introduced. 1. Local residents who assisted in the development of the questionnaire and the production of this document, were: Christine Bates (treasurer of the Steering Group and PC liaison), Jenny Bullough (chair of the Steering Group), Oliver Bullough, Will Bullough, Candia Compton, Margaret davies, Simon Forrester, Gill Grove, Julie Jones, Richard Mighall, Mary Morgan, John Neville, david Penrose, dave Prescott (clerk of the Steering Group), Paul Rumph, Gordon Rye and Anthony Williams. Thanks also to Pauline Striplin at Community First and Chris Gooding at Herefordshire Council.. 5 The Steering Group used the findings of the interviews to develop a questionnaire which was distributed to all residents in the Parish in June 2007. Of 415 questionnaires delivered, roughly 9% were completed (a fairly typical response rate for a survey of this type). These were returned to the Steering Group who, in turn, forwarded them to the Herefordshire Council Research Team for collation into a Questionnaire Report. in October 2007, the completed Report was forwarded to the Parish Council. The Report was then analysed by the Steering Group and recommended courses of action were proposed. These are contained in this Plan of Action, where passed onto Clifford Parish Council for review and action. Copies of this document have also been sent to Clifford Parish Council and Herefordshire Council. Since the findings of the Parish Plan are of interest to many of the civic and social groups in Clifford, the plan has also been sent to Clifford Hall Committee, Clifford Primary School, Herefordshire Nature Trust, Clifford PCC and Hardwicke PCC. it can also been seen, along with the questionnaire analysis, on the Clifford Parish website (www.cliffordparish.org.uk) 6 CLifford PARiSH PLAN | 2008 | practical information Practical information 1.1 Overview Clifford lies in a bend of the River Wye between Hay-on-Wye and Bredwardine. The parish is part of the Golden Valley Ward and is one of 28 Parishes administered by Herefordshire Council. The Parish boundary extends for 27 kilometres (km) and encompasses a diamond shaped area of 25km2 (for comparison, the city of Hereford covers 20km2). There are 8km of public roads and 52km of bridleways and public footpaths; two disused railway lines cross the Parish. The River Wye, fed by numerous streams, forms much of the northern and western boundary. Part of the river – from the dulas brook just below Hay, to the Rhydspence inn, which is to the west of Whitney toll bridge (the only remaining river crossing point in Clifford) – forms the national boundary with Wales. Approximately half of the 221 households in the Parish are concentrated in Clifford vil- lage; the remainder are at widely dispersed locations. The Parish population is 50 of whom some 330 are of working age; the balance is fairly evenly split between those aged under 15 and those over 65. A fifth of those of working age are associated directly or indirectly with agricultural activities, notably livestock and arable farming. Others are involved in manufactur- ing, repair, construction, real estate or the public sector. There is thriving bed & breakfast trade. 1.2 Public services Most public services in Clifford are provided by neighbouring parishes or by Hereford- shire Council. 1.2.1 Local amenities We do have: » A school and a pre-school nursery » Two community halls » Two churches » Several commons, public footpaths and bridleways 7 We don’t have: » Any shops » A Post Office » Any pubs » Any sports facilities other than the school playing field » A residential or nursing home Refuse COLLeCtiOn | domestic waste is collected on Tuesday mornings.

  • 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.

Linda Moffatt 2016, at the website of the Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com'. DATES • Prior to 1752 the year began on 25 March (Lady Day). 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.

  • A Welsh Classical Dictionary
    A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY DACHUN, saint of Bodmin. See s.n. Credan. He has been wrongly identified with an Irish saint Dagan in LBS II.281, 285. G.H.Doble seems to have been misled in the same way (The Saints of Cornwall, IV. 156). DAGAN or DANOG, abbot of Llancarfan. He appears as Danoc in one of the ‘Llancarfan Charters’ appended to the Life of St.Cadog (§62 in VSB p.130). Here he is a clerical witness with Sulien (presumably abbot) and king Morgan [ab Athrwys]. He appears as abbot of Llancarfan in five charters in the Book of Llandaf, where he is called Danoc abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 179c), and Dagan(us) abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 158, 175, 186b, 195). In these five charters he is contemporary with bishop Berthwyn and Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywysing. He succeeded Sulien as abbot and was succeeded by Paul. See Trans.Cym., 1948 pp.291-2, (but ignore the dates), and compare Wendy Davies, LlCh p.55 where Danog and Dagan are distinguished. Wendy Davies dates the BLD charters c.A.D.722 to 740 (ibid., pp.102 - 114). DALLDAF ail CUNIN COF. (Legendary). He is included in the tale of ‘Culhwch and Olwen’ as one of the warriors of Arthur's Court: Dalldaf eil Kimin Cof (WM 460, RM 106). In a triad (TYP no.73) he is called Dalldaf eil Cunyn Cof, one of the ‘Three Peers’ of Arthur's Court. In another triad (TYP no.41) we are told that Fferlas (Grey Fetlock), the horse of Dalldaf eil Cunin Cof, was one of the ‘Three Lovers' Horses’ (or perhaps ‘Beloved Horses’).

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

  • Fosbr Newsletter Number 98 October 2018
    FoSBR Newsletter Number 104 November 2020 (Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways) Another newsletter published during a lockdown... As in the earlier part of this year, the government is advising that people should now stay at home and only make essential journeys, avoiding public transport. During this lockdown, Great Western services have remained unchanged and not reduced - this is welcome. We hope that, as things ease and people start to venture out again, journeys should be relatively low risk - because social distancing remains easy on trains that continue to have low passenger numbers. However, as suspected, the Treasury is now getting anxious about the cost of running largely empty trains and is demanding cuts to services. At the beginning of November, trains only carried 31% of the passengers as at the same time last year and there is concern now that possibly one-fifth of commuters will stay away from rail travel indefinitely. The Times (on 10 November) says "The Department of Transport has told [train] companies to submit plans to make railways more 'financially sustainable' while still providing enough capacity for Covid-safe travel. One rail industry source said that service levels could be reduced to about 80 or 85 percent of pre-pandemic levels". Despite this, we hope that the Government continues to invest in and champion the railway. In the longer term our rail services will need all the support they can get to ensure they don't just survive (in a world that could easily be one of limited funds) but grow - in order to tackle the climate emergency.

    Friends of St Michael & All Angels Church Moccas Herefordshire HR2 9LH Welcome to our first Newsletter Autumn 2018 Flower Festival in a Tea Cup Saturday 29th & Sunday 30th September 10am to 4pm Celebration Service 3pm Sunday Refreshments in Village Hall Organ Restoration Project The organ at the west end of our church was designed and constructed by RW Walker & Sons Ltd in 1871, and installed by the Rector, Reverend Sir George Cornewall of Moccas Court. The red and green casing was hand painted by Kempe and considered to be quite unique. The historian, David Whitehead has described it as a “… wonderful composition, unparalleled anywhere else in Herefordshire”. At nearly 150 years old, it is not surprisingly in need of some refurbishment – both the organ and its casing, separately – and fund raising is well underway for this project. Quotes received are in the region of £60-70k for the organ and £20k for the casing; so far we have raised a total of £40k, with £5k from Church Care, £5k from the Prince of Wales Charitable Foundation, £10k and £15k respectively from two private donors, and £5k from a series of fundraising events. Meet our new vicar, the Revd Luci Morriss Appointed as a Rural Pioneer Priest in the Deanery of Abbeydore and Priest in Charge of the Border Link Parishes: Cusop with Blakemere, Bredwardine with Brobury, Clifford, Dorstone, Hardwicke, Moccas and Preston-on-Wye Luci joins us from Oxford Diocese with her husband, Alistair, and we welcome them both Sunday 7th October: 11.00am Harvest Festival with the Hereford Church Singers & Lunch in Village Hall Sunday 9th December: 7.00pm Nine Lessons & Carols with Hereford Cathedral School Senior Chamber Choir (as part of their Music in Quiet Places season) Monday 24th December: 8.00pm Christmas Eve Holy Communion On 30th September 5 Rural Pioneer Priests will be licensed in our Deanery.
