Eisel ................................... 19 This paper discusses the lives and work of three local historians and antiquaries: the Revd. John Duncumb, Thomas Bird Esq. and the Revd. Charles John Bird. Certain misconceptions about the Revd. John Duncumb that have appeared in print are corrected. Presidential Address, 2006, Old Red Sandstone: the Herefordshire Stone by Paul A. Olver ... 43 The Revd. T. T. Lewis and the Revd. W. S. Symonds, notable parson-naturalists of the early Woolhope Club, were impressed by Hugh Miller’s fossil finds and exhorted members to seek out fossil fish within the local Old Red Sandstone. This paper updates knowledge of this enigmatic formation, so that armed with this new data, Woolhope Club members can continue to research ‘Herefordshire’s stone.’ Malacostraca and Phyllocarida fossils found on the Great Doward by Moira Jenkins ............. 58 Notes on recent rare fossil finds on the Great Doward. Sedimentological and geomorphological evidence for the development of Herefordshire’s river systems by Andrew Richards .................................................................................................... 61 Herefordshire’s river systems have been subject to tectonic processes, widespread glaciation and a fluctuating base level as well as lithological and structural influences. This paper aims to present a range of geomorphological and sedimentological evidence that can be used to infer stages in the development of Herefordshire’s rivers during the Late Caenozoic period. Further notes on Godwins of Lugwardine by John C. Eisel ...................................................... 79 Some information to add to the paper on the Godwin family published in the last issue. A survey of the River Wye from Lucksall to Wilton by Heather Hurley ................................. 81 A survey by canoe allowed close inspection of a number of sites known from documentary and pictorial evidence. A gazetteer of all the sites is provided. In search of the Unicorn - in Leominster by John C. Eisel ..................................................... 102 A paper about the history of the Unicorn Inn, its owners and landlords and its bowling green. The Crown and the Royal Oak also feature in the paper. Villa Chachebren or New Court, Marstow: a Monmouth Priory estate by Rosalind Lowe.... 112 From field-name evidence, this paper identifies a small Herefordshire estate gifted to Monmouth Priory in about 1100.

  • Lecture 30 Origins of Horticultural Science
    Lecture 30 1 Lecture 30 Origins of Horticultural Science The origin of horticultural science derives from a confl uence of 3 events: the formation of scientifi c societies in the 17th century, the creation of agricultural and horticultural societies in the 18th century, and the establishment of state-supported agricultural research in the 19th century. Two seminal horticultural societies were involved: The Horticultural Society of London (later the Royal Horticulture Society) founded in 1804 and the Society for Horticultural Science (later the American Society for Horticultural Science) founded in 1903. Three horticulturists can be considered as the Fathers of Horticultural Science: Thomas Andrew Knight, John Lindley, and Liberty Hyde Bailey. Philip Miller (1691–1771) Miller was Gardener to the Worshipful Company of Apothecaries at their Botanic Garden in Chelsea and is known as the most important garden writer of the 18th century. The Gardener’s and Florist’s Diction- ary or a Complete System of Horticulture (1724) was followed by a greatly improved edition entitled, The Gardener’s Dictionary containing the Methods of Cultivating and Improving the Kitchen, Fruit and Flower Garden (1731). This book was translated into Dutch, French, German and became a standard reference for a century in both England and America. In the 7th edition (1759), he adopted the Linnaean system of classifi cation. The edition enlarged by Thomas Martyn (1735–1825), Professor of Botany at Cambridge University, has been considered the largest gardening manual to have ever existed. Miller is credited with introducing about 200 American plants. The 16th edition of one of his books, The Gardeners Kalendar (1775)—reprinted in facsimile edition in 1971 by the National Council of State Garden Clubs—gives direc- tions for gardeners month by month and contains an introduction to the science of botany.

  • Settlement Hierarchy and Social Change in Southern Britain in the Iron Age
    SETTLEMENT HIERARCHY AND SOCIAL CHANGE IN SOUTHERN BRITAIN IN THE IRON AGE BARRY CUNLIFFE The paper explores aspects of the social and economie development of southern Britain in the pre-Roman Iron Age. A distinct territoriality can be recognized in some areas extending over many centuries. A major distinction can be made between the Central Southern area, dominated by strongly defended hillforts, and the Eastern area where hillforts are rare. It is argued that these contrasts, which reflect differences in socio-economic structure, may have been caused by population pressures in the centre south. Contrasts with north western Europe are noted and reference is made to further changes caused by the advance of Rome. Introduction North western zone The last two decades has seen an intensification Northern zone in the study of the Iron Age in southern Britain. South western zone Until the early 1960s most excavation effort had been focussed on the chaiklands of Wessex, but Central southern zone recent programmes of fieid-wori< and excava­ Eastern zone tion in the South Midlands (in particuiar Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire) and in East Angiia (the Fen margin and Essex) have begun to redress the Wessex-centred balance of our discussions while at the same time emphasizing the social and economie difference between eastern England (broadly the tcrritory depen- dent upon the rivers tlowing into the southern part of the North Sea) and the central southern are which surrounds it (i.e. Wessex, the Cots- wolds and the Welsh Borderland. It is upon these two broad regions that our discussions below wil! be centred.
