The Llangarron Parish has undertaken to prepare an NDP and this process has been subject to environmental appraisal pursuant to the SEA Directive. The Parish lies approximately 5 miles to the thriving market town of Ross on Wye and 7 miles away from Monmouth. The Draft Llangarron group NDP includes 8 objectives and it is intended that these objectives will be delivered by 26 mostly criteria based planning policies; two site allocations are proposed in Llangrove. The environmental appraisal of the Llangarron group NDP has been undertaken in line with the Environmental Assessment of Plan and Programmes Regulations 2004.

  • Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549
    “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.

  • Runaway Wives: Husband Desertion in Medieval England
    RUNAWAY WIVES: HUSBAND DESERTION IN MEDIEVAL ENGLAND By Sara Butler Loyola University New Orleans Scholars of the medieval family would generally agree that the lot of the me- dieval wife was not an easy one. Medieval husbands held the upper hand in the power relationship, both legally and socially. Although Lawrence Stone's view of niarried life in the Middle Ages as "brutal and often hostile, with little communication, [and] much wife-beating" has since been called into question, more recent historians have still painted a somewhat unflattering picture.' Ju- dith Bennett writes that "[m]edieval people thought of conjugality as a hierar- chy headed by a husband who not only controlled his wife's financial assets and public behavior, but also freely enforced his will through physical violence."^ Indeed, she argues that wife-beating was "a normal part of marriage."^ Even Bar- bara Hanawalt, who has optimistically described peasant marriage in medieval England as a partnership, still concedes that occasional violence was acceptable and expected in marriage.'' What is more, the rules of coverture, which adhered to the biblical principal of husband and wife as one flesh represented at law by the husband, left a wife economically vulnerable. Because all real and movable property legally belonged to the husband as head of the household, a wife who fell out of favor with her husband might well find herself expelled from the family home, without any resources to fall back on.^ From a modern perspective, mari- tal practices hardly provided any sense of reassurance. At a time when families, more often than individuals, took the lead in spousal selection, and inheritance and status were the chief criteria, strong bonds of affection were not guaranteed.

  • Hereford Transport Package January 2019
    Community Consultation Statement Hereford Transport Package Walking, cycling, bus and public space improvements public consultation 1. Overview This Community Consultation Statement sets out how Herefordshire Council (the Council) proposes to undertake the next stage of the Hereford Transport Package consultation. This stage of the consultation focuses on the possible walking, cycling, bus and public space improvement plans. HTP is an important part of our vision, as outlined in our Local Transport Plan and Core Strategy. The Council wants to work with local people and businesses throughout the design and construction of the HTP, to create improvements which work for those travelling through and around the city. Our approach to consultation aims to encourage people to reflect on their existing travel arrangements, and where practical, to choose to walk, cycle or travel by bus more often and reduce car use for shorter journeys. Following positive feedback from our second consultation, we have developed a range of walking, cycling bus and public space improvement plans. We are now asking for public feedback on these plans to help inform the next stage of work. The consultation period will start on Tuesday 29 January 2019 and finish on Monday 11 March 2019. Further consultation will take place later in 2019 as part of the formal planning permission process. 2. Summary of Proposals The Hereford Transport Package is a collection of improvements that aim to improve access to public transport, reduce congestion and create better journeys for those travelling in and around Hereford. HTP includes the Hereford Bypass to the west of the city and a series of walking, cycling, bus and public space improvements to encourage people to travel more safely and sustainably within the city.
