research at Herefordshire Archives
The project has involved a number of research sessions at the Herefordshire Archive and Records Centre at Rotherwas on the outskirts of Hereford.
Original documents and published sources were consulted. These included the glebe terrier, records relating to the church bells, and parish book entries relating to tiles, seats/pews, chancel etc during the mid 19th Century. Other works were examined included the Hopton notes 1916, for information and linking Hentland as a chapelry of Lugwardine; that Richard of Rotherham rebuilt the chancel about 1430, and that coloured glass inserted in the east window was put in by him with a Latin text translated 'pray for the soul of Richard Rotherham'.
At the time Richard of Rotherham was Vicar of Lugwardine and Chancellor of the diocese.
In 1330 Lugwardine church had had three chapels in Archenfield - Llangarron, Whitchurch and Hentland attached to it since 'time out of mind'.
