  • Perhaps the First Reference to Wigmore Is in the 'Anglo-Saxon Chronicle

    Perhaps the First Reference to Wigmore Is in the 'Anglo-Saxon Chronicle

    Perhaps the first reference to Wigmore is in the ‘Anglo-Saxon Chronicle’ under the entry for 921 when King Edward had a fortress at Wigingamere. This was later attacked and withstood the Viking ‘host’. If this is a correct identification the big earth banks, evidence of which can still be traced running north-east from the castle and the southern of which is continued in the northem hedge of Moor Lane, may well be what is left of that fortification. Before this the Romans had built a camp on the western branch of Watling Street and its square shape can still be seen in the field east of the Bury Farm. At the time of the Domesday Book, 1086, the Castle of ‘Wigemore’ was held by Ralph de Mortimer and it is recorded that it was built by Earl William (William FitzOsbern). Also there as a borough which paid £7. The name means either ‘Wicga’s Moor’ or it may derive from he Welsh gwig maur, big wood. William FitzOsbem was succeeded by his son who made the mistake of joining in the revolt in 1074 against the King and this is why the castle and lordship passed to the Mortimers. ------------------ By the Laws of Breteuil, burgages were valued at ls. each; so £7 implies that there were 140 burgages. At an Inquisition Post Mortem of 1304 the borough had 140 1/4 + 1/6 burgages and a survey of 1772 recorded 140 + 1/6. In size these were the Herefordshire hop acre, about 2/3 modern acre, and on a big scale map they can almost all still be traced, most of them never having been built on.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

Until recently, performance activities in smaller communities have received little or no attention, except perhaps as something of antiquarian interest. And one area of theatre history that has been largely overlooked is the involvement of monasteries in local performance activities. Yet the precious few, fragmentary, monastic records that survived the dissolutions of the monasteries under Henry VIII and Edward VI, suggest that several monasteries gave active financial support to local theatre in England before and during the early Tudor period.

    Medieval Religious Patronage: a Study of the Anglo-Welsh Marcher Lords and Their Connections to Religious Houses, 1066 - 1300

    Student No. 580020001 Medieval Religious Patronage: A Study of the Anglo-Welsh Marcher Lords and their Connections to Religious Houses, 1066 - 1300. Submitted by Catherine Lucy Hollinghurst to the University of Exeter as a dissertation for the degree of Masters by Research in Archaeology, October 2012.

(Signature) ……………………………………………………………………… 1 Student No. 580020001 Abstract In a world where religion played a far greater role in society than it does in the modern day, it is no surprise that those living in the medieval period desired a close association with the church. Nowhere is this association clearer than with the aristocracy of the time. This project looks in detail at the close relationship between Anglo-Norman castle lords and monastic institutions, considering the different ways in which they patronised religious houses and the spiritual and social gains that they could enjoy as a result of their support. By looking at the study area of the Anglo- Welsh Marches, an overview is built up of the connections between the monastery and the castle, before individual high status Anglo-Norman families and their associated religious institutions are considered to give a more complete and detailed picture. In addition to the social aspects of this association, the wider environments of monastic sites are also studied, raising notable similarities between religious and high status secular landscapes.
