THE WARWICKSHIRE ADDER HUNT • In 2004 WART became the lead partner for the adder in the Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull Local Biodiversity Action Plan. • The adder is acknowledged as rare in the Midlands and is listed as a priority species on the UK Biodiversity Action plan. Our first step was to determine the current distribution and status in the region. • There were 24 sites where adders had been recorded so our first step was to go back to these sites to have another look. What did we find out? • Half the sites had gone due to urban development and unsympathetic agricultural practices. • On the remaining 12 sites we placed arrays of refugia (tins, onduline, roofing felt) which were checked yearly for 3 years. 6 of these sites turned up grass snakes. • After 3 years we narrowed the search down to 5 sites which seemed to have habitats suitable for adders and had recent records from the 1990’s Kenilworth Common • Best reptile assemblage site in the WART Reserve county.

  • Worcestershire Has Fluctuated in Size Over the Centuries
    HUMAN GENETICS IN WORCESTERSHIRE AND THE SHAKESPEARE COUNTRY I. MORGAN WATKIN County Health Department, Abet ystwyth Received7.x.66 1.INTRODUCTION THEwestern limits of Worcestershire lie about thirty miles to the east of Offa's Dyke—the traditional boundary between England and Wales —yet Evesham in the south-eastern part of the county is described by its abbot in a petition to Thomas Cromwell in as situated within the Principality of Wales. The Star Chamber Proceedings (No. 4) in the reign of Henry VII refer to the bridge of stone at Worcester by which the king's subjects crossed from England into Wales and the demonstrations against the Act of 1430 regulating navigation along the Severn were supported by large numbers of Welshmen living on the right bank of the river in Worcestershire. The object of the investigation is to ascertain whether significant genetic differences exist in the population of Worcestershire and south-western Warwickshire and, in particular, whether the people living west of the Severn are more akin to the Welsh than to the English. The possibility of determining, on genetic grounds, whether the Anglo- Saxon penetration was strongest from the south up the rivers Severn and Avon, or across the watershed from the Trent in the north, or from the east through Oxfordshire and Warwickshire is also explored. 2. THECOUNTY Worcestershirehas fluctuated in size over the centuries and Stratford-on-Avon came for a period under its jurisdiction while Shipston-on-Stour, now a Warwickshire township, remained in one of the detached portions of Worcestershire until the turn of the present century.
