Ln Roqu,"z;illard-par Henry BoRDEAt:X. PREFACE Some say one's parentage does not matter. Sometimes perhaps they are not living up to the standard their ancestors set before them and have got enough conscience left to speak to them about it. Others, when they arrive at what the world may consider a good position, may be inclined to make out that their ancestors were much more important than they really were. Is it not better" to examine well one's blood," so that misplaced pride, vain pretence and hereditary failings may be avoided? and so learn that one family is not much better or worse than another, for the " bad penny " turns up in every Family history sooner or later as inevitably as the family genius. It was hoped that when this account was begun it would prove the relationship between two or three different families of GwATKIN. It seems probable that the GwATKINS of Pencoyd are the forbears of that line which we call the "Reynolds" GwATKINS (owing to one of them having married Theophila PALMER, niece to Sir Joshua REY­ NOLDS). But the link which conne& the two lines is not found, neither are those which would prove the connecl:ions with the lines we call the "Twickenham" GwATKINS and the "Brighton" GwATKINs. Another question it was hoped would be answered was as to whether Thomas GwATKIN, who married firstly, Rebecca SEWARD, and secondly "Margaret," had any children by" Margaret"; but this question has gained no reply. th In a letter, dated December 6 , 1829, Mrs Jane GwATKIN says to her son, the Revd. Richard GwATKIN, "If you pass through Oxford perhaps you will call on Mr ' Nevil' GwATKIN "; but his identity has not been revealed. In another letter, dated 1821, to her son, Mrs Jane mentions "Mistress MAYO." My Father once told me that "Madam" MAYo's maiden name was GwATKIN; he thought she was related. In the will of John GwATKIN · of Bridstow, dated 25 Nov., 1774, page 51, we find he had a brother-in-law, Thomas MAYO; but there is nothing to prove that he was related to the Fownhope line. The names James and Charles appearing in the pedigree of the American GwATKINS make me wonder whether they are anything to do with those of Sellack. My Father once told me that there was a tradition that the GwATKINS were descended from "Davy GAM." This person, after a life of" violence and rapine," disgraced even more by his attempt to assassinate his father-in-law, Owen GLENDOWER (GLYN DWR), was one of the three-the other two being Sir Roger VAUGHAN and Sir Walter LLOYD-who were knighted on the field of Agincourt, having given Vl PREFACE their lives to defend the person of Henry V. "David ap LLEWELYN, generally called David GAM ... was fourth in descent from Einion SAIS " (Gentleman's Magazine Library-'!opography, "Monmouth," part II; pp. 201, 204; Vol. VII, p. 293) and conneB:ed in some way with the princely house of Powis. If there is any truth in this tradition the conneB:ion with David GAM (squint eye) is probably through some maternal line-perhaps a HAVARD. No name has been put down in this account unless some evidence of its bearer can be produced, and for this I have to thank my Father for permitting me to look through the family papers and getting books on Herefordshire for me to search in. If Mr. J.C. BuLL had not introduced me to the Society of Genealo­ gists I should not have had the kind help the Revd. T. C. DALE and Mr. A. J. G. BRYANT have given me, nor yet Mr. George SHERwoon's most useful assistance. Miss Fanny Lucretia WALE, who so generously did the illustrations for me, also encouraged me to stick to my purpose in writing out the account of my family-that Family which my Mother tried to teach us never to disgrace. THE SILURES. My Father once told me that we were ancient British so far as race was concerned. In Richard BLOME's Britannia (1673), it says of Herefordshire that "Its ancient Inhabitants were the Silures, a stout and warlike people, who sorely perplexed the Romans for nine years space, through the noble valour and exploits of their commander CARACTAcus." One day I was reading in one of the magazines, I forget which, a piece entitled " The Spanish People." It said they were " the con­ neaing link between Asia and Europe," and "could best claim to represent the primitive European stock "; that they were " serious yet cheerful, warlike, though according a high place to woman, extremely independent and preferring to live in small clannish, closely knit communities, jealous and hostile toward other social units. They constitute an admirable human material, though one that is peculiarly difficult to tame to the ends of civilization." It is said that this Berber or Iberian race spread through Spain, where they are still represented by the Basques, and across France, where they are represented perhaps by the Auvergnats and Bretons, and then on to Cornwall and the southern parts of Herefordshire and Wales, where the Romans found them as" Silures." Duncumb describes the Silurians as" Longheaded generally, dark, curly hair." He says they are "still savage, have a childlike simplicity, intensity of feelings, hardness and austerity, combined with disdain for the superfluous, love of idleness tempered PREFACE Vll by the aptitude for violent aB:ivity, indifference to persons and things outside the circle of their own sphere of life." Duncumb quotes Tacitus, who gives an account of the difficulty the Romans had in subduing this people. When my second brother went to the Pyrenees for his honeymoon he told me the people kept asking if he was a Spaniard. I have noticed the peculiar type of the people who have come from Herefordshire and those parts-VAUGHANs, PHILPOTTS, MAYOS and GwATKINS-to mention a few-they are all alike. I think my Father must have been right when I read the characters given to this people-" savage and unsociable," " serious yet cheerful." E.M.G. CONTENTS Preface . Page v List of Illustrations .

    “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.

  • Appointment of Clergy Office Holders a Guide To
    Appointment of clergy office holders A guide to good practice Produced in support of the Ecclesiastical Offices (Terms of Service) Measure 2009 Prepared by TSIP in 2013 for final approval by the Standing Committee of the House of Bishops and updated by RACSC in February 2015 Foreword 1. The process by which people are chosen for particular roles is one of the most important and sensitive in all institutions. The Church of England has, for many years, invested significantly in well resourced and nationally agreed arrangements for discerning the vocation of those called to ordained ministry. But, for a variety of reasons the Church of England has traditionally found it much more difficult to reflect nationally on the processes which come later, once someone is due to be considered for a parochial clergy appointment. 2. There have been a number of reasons for this reticence. The most obvious is the sheer fragmentation of responsibility for making appointments in a church with some 13,000 parishes. The Church of England is not a legal entity and is made up of many different bodies; in many ways it has more the qualities of an organism than an organization. 3. In addition, the patronage system, though much reformed over the years, has continued to make the practical operation of parochial appointments within the Church of England more complex than in many other institutions. In the appointment of incumbents, it remains the patron who has the right of initiative, though an appointment cannot proceed without the consent both of the bishop and of the two parochial representatives.

  • What Happens When the Vicar Leaves • Managing the Vacancy
    What Happens when the Vicar leaves Managing the vacancy Appointing a new priest. A Guide for Churchwardens and PCC members 1 Introduction You will be reading this most likely because your Vicar (or Rector or Priest in Charge) has either just left or has announced his or her intention to leave. This can be a daunting time for a church but it is also an opportunity: An opportunity to celebrate the strengths of the ministry of your church on which you will want to build on for the future. An opportunity to recognise where you are ready as a church to change and grow. It can therefore be also exciting as you look to future and to the new things God is going to do in you and in your church as you welcome a new Vicar to work in partnership with you in the ministry and mission of the parish. This is a time when you will be well supported by your Bishops, your Archdeacon and your Area Dean. Each have different roles to play but each will want you to know that they are there to work with you so that the vacancy is a positive experience and that together we make a really good appointment for your next parish priest. This leaflet sets out all you should need to know about the managing the vacancy and the appointment process but there are bound to be times when you will have other questions to raise. Your key points of contact are The Archdeacons The Venerable Jackie Searle The Venerable Phil Andrew Archdeacon of Gloucester Archdeacon of Cheltenham 2 College Green, Gloucester, GL1 2LR 2 College Green, Gloucester, GL1 2LR 01452 835555 01452 835594 [email protected] [email protected] Your Area Dean who is: Please do not hesitate to contact us – we are there to help.
