SFLS member Gillian Bulmer has noted some corrections to the January 2007 newsletter, as detailed below:
On pg. 10 para. two line four is written ..." This resulted in the foundation
of cider orchards in Herefordshire ".
There are two points 1. Rev John Beale
Phd. wrote a book in the seventeenth century titled " Herefordshire
Orchards,
A pattern for all England," pub.'
1657 J.B. ' Writing also at that time were Hartlib, Evelyn, Ist
Viscount
Scudamore,etc. Secondly the above quote from the members paper should refer
to the 'RE planting
of ORCHARDS IN Herefordshire', a certain cider maker of the
time, (turn of the 19th - 20th century) realised
the disappearance of the old orchards and consequent lack of raw material - and started propagating - as described.
