THE CATHOLIC REGISTERS OF PERTHÎR IN THE COUNTY OF MONMOUTH, 1758-1818

INTRODUCTION

The County of Mounmouth, and especially the north-eastern half of the shire, is remarkable for the fidelity with which its inhabitants clung to the Catholic Church throughout the penal times. The Calvanistic Methodist movement of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, which tardily but effectually protestantized Wales as a whole, left almost untouched the Cambro-British or Silurian population of Gwent and the Celtic part of Herefordshire. Here, therefore, we have the only instance of a people who, though Welsh by race, are not Puritan in religion.

It is necessary to add that, since the date of Catholic Emancipation, the Church has greatly lost ground in this her ancient stronghold. This loss is due to the extinction of the old Catholic families of gentry, to the submersion of the yeomen and, still more, to the enormous emigration of the original peasantry, consequent upon the decay of agriculture. Truth compels one to say that apathy and a failure of the old missionary spirit have largely contributed to the "leakage". Perhaps, also, man values less a treasure of which no one seeks to forcibly deprive him, than one the possession whereof is perilous to his liberty and life.

In the parish of Rockfield, three miles west of the county town, there stood on the bank of the river Monnow, some seventy years ago, a stately mediæval mansion called Perthîr (Welsh, Y perth Hir - "The Long Hedge"). This had for many generations beloned to a family named Powel, a cadet branch of the Herbert stock, and had passed by marriage to the Lorymers of Newbold in the same parish. The Powels and the Lorymers alike were staunch Catholics from first to last - as were most of the coat-armour families in this county, and, indeed, almost the entire population of the Monnow Valley.

It was at Perthîr that the Vicar Apostolic of the Western District, the Right Rev. Matthew Prichard, D.D., O.S.F., Bishop of Myra, I.P.I., lived for many years, and died in 1750. He was a Recollect, and during his episcopate the Franciscans were established at Perthîr. In 1808 Perthîr was made the Franciscan novitiate; and it so remained until 1818, when the community was transferred to Aston and the mission was merged in that of Monmouth.

Bishop Prichard is buried in Rockfield church, and at least two of his priests in the churchyard - one being Father Andrew Weetman, O.S.F., who died 1795.

The estate of Perthîr was sold by William Lorymer in 1820 to a senior branch of the Herbert family, out of whose hands it passed about the year 1870. The mansion was demolished circa 1830. Some of the paintings from the chapel are preserved in Saint Mary's Catholic Church, Monmouthshire, including a Crucifixation and the old altar-piece, which represents Saint Catherine, the patron.

It was not until the troubles consequent upon the Jacobite rising of 1745 had subsided, that the Catholics of Great Britain ventured to keep records of their Missions; and Registers of an earlier date than 1777, when the first Catholic Relief Bill was passed, are rate. The friars at Perthîr, however, made and kept rough memoranda of Baptisms from 1751 onwards. Of these a regular series from 1758 is entered in the oldest book; but down to 1775 the entries are in some cases hastily and irregularly jotted down by an imperfectly educated scribe, and in others professedly transcribed from loose slips and casual notes in various books. From the commencement of the second book, in 1799, the entries are evidently regular and consecutive.

The earliest volume contains some notes made in the first few years of the eighteenth century, as follows:-
Memoranda of masses to be said for certain members of the Turner family, &c.
Rough entries of Baptisms &c. in the Mission of Maple Durham, near Reading.
Account of moneys received from Mr. Englefield, Madam Blount &c., and of expenses in connection with a journey to Saint Omer and Douay.
Theological notes on the General Councils &c., not transcribed for the purposes of this work.

Thanks are due to the Rev. Sidney Nicholls, priest in charge of the Mission of Monmouth, for allowing a transcript to be made; to the Rev. Trevor Hughes, B.A., of the Institute of Charity, Rector of the Wadhurst novitiate, for procuring a copy to be made of my transcript (which said transcript, being bound in a volume with others, was not available for the printers use), and for making with his own hand a necessary rearrangement of the Index.

The correction of the present copy has been made with all due care.
