| - Monkland is a small village in Herefordshire, England, in the civil parish of Monkland and Stretford, about three miles (5 km) west of Leominster. In Domesday, the site is identifiable as Lena and also Leine. Early versions of the name develop into Monklene or ‘the low-lying land of the monks’ in the Hundred of Hezetre, now Hazeltree. About 1180, is found Munkelen, Moneclene, Monkeslane. Some sources have the error of Monkllan which is anglo-welsh for Monk’s Church. Raoul/Ralph de Tosni was born in 1037, and died in 1102 as Seneschal de Conches in Normandy; the family also held Tosny, 30 miles from Conches. Ralph was to have been standard-bearer to William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings but gave the honour to his younger brother Robert. Different genealogical sources do differ, especially as there were three close relatives named Robert. After the conquest, Ralph gained some 65 manors across England in Norfolk, Worcs, Herefordshire etc. The tax for the mill at Monkland was 11 shillings and 25 ‘sticks’of eels, each ‘stick’ being 25 eels. The village was valued at £7. Before the conquest, Aelmer and Ulfketel held it as two manors; ‘they could go where they would’ – an extra and not frequent piece of Domesday detail. Monkland, the mill and its 22 residents was transferred by him to the at Conches. The town of Conches had its name changed from Castillon by his father Raoul ‘The Spaniard’ after his pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela and his wife’s miraculous cure on the journey. Ralph’s wife, Isabel, the daughter of Simon I de Montfort, rode as a knight in north France and lived to the age of 90. Tracing back to 924, Ralph’s descendants remained well in royal favour until only a sister survived in 1309. Brother Robert, the standard-bearer, held 131 manors from King William – scattered somewhat as was William’s method – and was based at Stafford where he built the castle in 1066 as Castellan. His son became Baron then much later Earl of Stafford. The Earldom is extinct. The Benedictine cell at Monkland was linked with the equally small cell at Wotton Waven cell in Warwickshire. These passed, to and fro by result of war, to the Crown and to Conches more than once. In 1415, Henry V gave it to Sir Rowland Lenthall who had distinguished himself at Agincourt. After 50 years, it was resumed by the Crown and then the Manor and Priory were granted with tithes to the Dean of the Canons of St George’s Chapel, Windsor. They are still vow-patrons of the benefice and relations continue, mostly via the Diocese. In 1831 the Manor was sold to a Mr Preece of Leominster; this solicitor passed it to the Bengough family of Gloucestershire in 1835, who still live in the village. Manor Farm remains, the manor itself does not. The two parish books ‘from 1730 to 1817’ and ‘1817 to Now’ are a wonderful record of the churchwardens, poorhouse, petty constables and waywardens. In 1890, the parish was listed as of 1079 acres – about 1.7 sq. miles with a population of 211 in 48 houses. The numbers are as yet little changed although there is some growth. In the most recent state as the Civil Parish of Monkland and Stretford, its major boundary is the River Arrow to north and east. The village lies off the A44 and is the start of the Black and White Village Trail. It has two notable buildings - one in Monkland and one in Stretford. is Grade II* listed while St Cosmas and St Damian's Church, Stretford is Grade I listed. (en)
