Abstract:

Since the revival of Stenamma debile (Förster, 1850) from synonymy with Stenamma westwoodii Westwood, 1839 by DuBois (1993) the latter species appears to be a genuinely rare native British insect. The appearance of a S. westwoodii gyne in south Worcestershire, England on 23. x.2019 warrants some discussion of the genus.

Abstract:

Abstract Although dialectology in England received two major boosts at the end of the 19th century and the middle of the 20th century (Ellis 1889 and Orton & Barry 1956-8), discussion of dialect change since that time has avoided discussion of many areas, concentrated as it was in those Universities with a tradition of dialectology (Essex, Leeds, Sheffield, Newcastle). Though many areas have since been re-examined in England; notably Bristol dialect (Blaxter & Coates 2019), Newcastle dialect (Milroy 1994, Milroy et al. 1999) Sunderland dialect (Burbano-Elizondo 2007), and Manchester dialect (Baranowski & Turton 2015, Bermúdez-Otero et al. 2015) there remain many areas which were never fully explored at the time of the Survey of English Dialects (Birmingham as an urban area for example was completely bypassed by that survey), as well as many areas which remain little known and studied. This paper brings together what is known about the dialects of the Upper Southwest and suggests pointers for directions in future research there based on the data from Worcestershire and Herefordshire that we discuss.

Abstract:

The fifteenth-century collection of miracles attributed to Henry VI and collated as evidence for his canonization proceedings includes the tale of John Robbins of Worcestershire, who, it is reported, ‘rashly insulted the blessed King Henry, heaping many rebukes upon him’. The late king punished the irreverent Robbins, striking him blind. When Robbins repented, and ‘vowed with many tears to visit [Henry’s] holy tomb, he recovered his faculty of sight’. Robbins appears to have been understandably embarrassed about the event: when he later made his pilgrimage to Windsor, he failed to reveal the whole story to the shrine official. In late medieval England, a common moral justification for disease was that God and his saints inflicted infirmity on sinners as a punishment for their transgressions, providing the opportunity for repentance and atonement. However, blindness could also be regarded as a divine gift, offering protection from worldly distractions and allowing holy individuals to communicate more easily with God. Indeed, a lack of earthly sight allowed potential saints to demonstrate that they possessed the intrinsic values of humility and patience deemed necessary to achieve sanctity. This paper examines these two different theological explanations for blindness.

Abstract:

The entomofauna of a veteran beech tree Fagus sylvatica L. in Kemerton civil parish (CP) in Watsonian East Gloucestershire VC33 was studied at widely spaced intervals for 22 years prior to its collapse during 2018. The richness of the entomofauna which demonstrates links with regional Urwald is remarkable given the position of the tree within the curtilage of a settlement and as a support system for Urwaldtier it was probably the best-endowed beech tree in the region. Elements of this fauna have clear affinities both with those of the Bredon Hill escarpment and with the primary river valleys. Key species are discussed and the importance of veteran ash as an agent of biotic continuity is confirmed.

Abstract:

AbstractThe continuous automatic monitoring of the aerial density, biomass and relative diversity of high-flying insect faunas has been made practicable by a new, vertical-looking radar. This inexpensive radar system, with its novel signal analysis capability, represents a major advance over earlier vertical-beam radars because it provides estimates of the body mass of individual overflying insects, as well as measurements of their direction and speed of movement. This paper summarizes data collected over a three-month period by the new radar in the height range from 150 m to c.1 km, over agricultural land in Worcestershire, England. The day-to-day variation in the numbers of insects and their altitudinal and diurnal patterns of flight activity are presented. Examples are also given of distributions of mass, displacement speed and direction, and orientation direction. The potential of the new radar for various research and operational monitoring tasks is briefly discussed.

Turner, Hilary L. "Ralph Sheldon (1537–1613) of Beoley and Weston: cloaked in conformity?" British Catholic History 34, no. 04 (October 2019): 562–86. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/bch.2019.25.

Full text

Abstract:

On two occasions, in 1580–1 and 1587, the Worcestershire gentleman Ralph Sheldon of Beoley and Weston (1537–1613) undertook to attend services in his parish church. This article seeks to make sense of these occasions of ‘conformity’, in the context of the situation and choices facing Catholics in Protestant England. It argues that Ralph consciously rejected the Jesuit message about non-attendance at the state church, a view he never abandoned. Never described by his contemporaries as ‘papistically affected’, let alone as an ‘obstinate recusant’, his later reputation as such is mistaken. By exploring the evidence relating to these occasions of official conformity, it is possible to see how he managed the challenge of being a Catholic living within the law. He could be regarded, and treated, as an obedient subject. He might thus be viewed as a church papist. However, since occasional conformity must itself also suggest recusancy, a more nuanced understanding of his position requires a reconsideration of some of the evidence.

Full text

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe commonest arthropod trace fossils from Triassic aquatic red beds are the bilobate traces Isopodichnus and trackways known as ‘Merostomichnites’ triassicus. These trace fossils were probably produced by notostracan branchiopods, similar to Triops. Four arthropod ichnocoenoses from Lower Triassic fluvial sandstones have been analysed in terms of size frequency distribution, behavioural variation and relationship to sedimentary structures and depositional environment. One Isopodichnus ichnofauna associated with flute moulds (Dumfries-shire, Scotland) shows a normal age-structured population of arthropods responding with strong rheotaxis within shallow fluvial channels. The second Isopodichnus assemblage associated with ripple marks (Worcestershire, England) also shows strong rheotaxis but is bimodal in size and morphotype, possibly suggesting change in arthropod behaviour with age. Two ichnocoenoses of trackways with less pronounced rheotaxis associated with ripples (Cheshire, England) and flute moulds (Württemberg, Germany) were produced by larger arthropods than the resting traces. These arthropods probably possessed 6 to 9 pairs of walking limbs.The conclusions derived from these notostracan trace fossils are compared with data on palaeoecology, population size-frequency, morphology and behaviour of Triops cancriformis derived from the analysis of three Triassic body fossil faunas and literature on living populations. Taxonomic consideration favours retention of the name Isopodichnus but the trackways should be included in Acripes Matthew. Brief review of late Palaeozoic Isopodichnus assemblages which appear to predate known notostracan fossils is inconclusive as regards both identifying producers or infallible means of separation from Cruziana assemblages.

Abstract:

In 1584, fearing death, Eleanor Cumpayne, a single woman in the parish of Halesowen (Worcestershire), commended her soul to almighty God and her body to the earth, divided her sheep and money amongst her godchildren, relatives and friends, and placed particular trust in her cousin, Margery Cumpayne, who, amongst other duties, was to bestow the sum of 20s at her funeral. Unlike most testators, Eleanor Cumpayne survived this fearful illness, dying in the summer eight years later. Eleanor is also unusual because the detailed provisions establishing her as a single woman that were made 25 years before her death also survive. In his will her father, George, bequeathed to her for her natural life a chamber next to the fire in his house in Hill, a garden, an acre of land, 3s 4d annually, a cow called Fillpayle, a mare, bedding, the best pot and pan, six sheep which were to be kept with the rest of the family's sheep and also, at the death of her mother, a pasture. The experience of Eleanor Cumpayne, living semi-independently as a single woman with the assistance of her family, suggests that the idea that early modern society expected all women to marry needs closer examination. Such a view can indeed be found in prescriptive literature. The author of The law's resolutions of women's rights (1632) stated without hesitation that all women ‘are understood either married or to be married’. For him women were defined by their marital status, and marriage was the natural expectation for all women.Contemporary authors based their ideas of the necessity of marriage for women on two main arguments: first, that marriage was natural and demanded by scripture, particularly as a consequence of the Fall, which imposed on women the twin obligations of childbearing and subjection to the authority of a husband; and second, that marriage was an economic necessity, a notion encapsulated in the well-known adage that ‘To thrive one must wive.’ The strength of these arguments in preventing remaining unmarried from seeming to be a viable and attractive option for early modern women is the subject of this article. In particular, I shall concentrate on the second argument, the economic dimension, since it was in this respect, as the experience of Eleanor Cumpayne suggests, that social attitudes did most to encourage the possibility of women remaining unmarried.

Abstract:

In 1913 an old chest was discovered in a manor house in Worcestershire in the west of England. Packed with bundles of manuscripts, it contained several hundred letters and business papers written in a crabbed italic hand. These documents belonged to Thomas Bowrey, an English overseas merchant, who was born in 1662 and died in 1713. The collection of papers was later purchased by Colonel Henry Howard, and in 1931 part of it was presented to the Guildhall Library in London. These documents include an incomplete manuscript titled “Discription of the Coast of Affrica from the Cape of Good Hope, to the Red Sea” dated 1708. The notes indicate that Bowrey intended to write a book that encompassed descriptions of all the major ports of the region.Only fragments of the draft survive. Most of the manuscript contains amendments, crossed-out sections, and blank spaces. The text consists of different versions of a preface, brief accounts of the Dutch Cape Colony and Delagoa Bay in Mosambique, as well as a draft portion which has the title “Islands of ye Coast of Africa on ye East Side of ye Cape of Good Hope: Places of Trade on Madagascar.” The densely written and in part hardly legible text is on sixteen folio pages. It gives information about Assada, Old Masselege, Manangara, New Masselege, Terra Delgada, Morondava, Crab Island, St. Vincent, St. Iago, Tulear, St. Augustin Bay, St. John's, Port Dauphin, Matatana, Bonavola, St. Mary's Island, and Antongil Bay. This document also includes descriptions of Mauritius and Bourbon, nowadays called Réunion. Most of these places were visited by English, Dutch, and French seafarers in the last decades of the seventeenth century.

Abstract:

This article will describe the work of Field Monitoring Officers (FMOs) employed by Premier Monitoring Services limited (PMS) one of the contract companies which provide the service of electronically monitoring offenders in England and Wales. It will explore the officer's work and the difficulties which they face on a day to day basis. The content will in general be taken from my own experiences over a three and a half year period whilst employed as a FMO with PMS working from their Birmingham office, an office which covers a geographical area which spans the West Midlands, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire and in the early years of electronic monitoring (EM) Staffordshire. My own reflection will be reinforced with the experiences of both male and female, former and current officers from predominately Birmingham but, also four of the other areas.

Abstract:

This article examines the spatial implications of flexible working post-Covid through the concepts of third space and the flexible work model. Whilst research to date has largely focused on city centres, this article draws on a case study of a new settlement, Worcestershire Parkway, and the views of planning/property professionals to investigate the emerging implications for planning theory and practice. In particular, it highlights and critically evaluates the importance of flexibility and future-proofing, strong private sector partnership to develop employment strategies and design codes to set parameters for development as the cardinal features of post-Covid strategic planning practice.
