Archdeacons Of Gloucester
An archdeacon is a senior clergy position in the Church of the East, Chaldean Catholic Church, Syriac Orthodox Church, Anglican Communion, St Thomas Christians, Eastern Orthodox churches and some other Christian denominations, above that of most clergy and below a bishop. In the High Middle Ages it was the most senior diocesan position below a bishop in the Catholic Church.

The office has often been described metaphorically as ''oculus episcopi'', the "bishop's eye".

Alumni Of Christ's College, Cambridge
Alumni (: alumnus () or alumna ()) are former students or graduates of a school, college, or university.

Much Cowarne
Much Cowarne is a village and civil parish in the English county of Herefordshire, located off the A417 about 16 miles from Hereford and 10 miles from its post town of Bromyard. Geography The village is located in countryside away from main roads, with views to the Malvern Hills and Wye Valley. Composer Edward Elgar considered the landscape around the village as a source of inspiration, frequently cycling in the area to visit the church or friends at Cowarne Court. The civil parish includes the hamlet of Hope's Rough. History The ''Domesday Book'' form of the name, ''Cuure'', suggests a meaning ''cow house'', perhaps implying a significant dairying centre. Little Cowarne, to the north west, appears in Domesday as ''Colgre'' which seems a quite different name, perhaps ''charcoal wood''. The two manors became linked, probably wrongly, in a 12th-century exchequer manuscript, and have shared a name ever since. It has recently been suggested that Much Cowarne, like its neighbours Br ...
