Ongar Castle

Ongar Castle ist eine Burgruine im Markt Chipping Ongar, etwa 10 km östlich von Epping, 11 km südöstlich von Harlow und 11 km nordwestlich von Brentwood in der englischen Grafschaft Essex. Namensherkunft Burg und Markt enthalten den Namensteil „Ongar“, der denselben Stamm besitzt wie das deutsche „Anger“ und „Grasland“ bedeutet. Details Ongar Castle ist ein gutes Beispiel für eine Motte vom Ende des 11. oder Anfang des 12. Jahrhunderts. Der Mound hat an der Basis einen Durchmesser von 70 Metern und ist von einem 15 Meter breiten Graben umgeben. Westlich davon liegt ein nierenförmiger Burghof und ein weiterer auf der Ostseite des Mounds. Die Überreste des Einfriedungswalls des Marktes erstrecken sich von dort nach Westen. Die Burg könnte auf Geheiß von Eustach II., Graf von Boulogne, der 1086 Ongar als Grundherrschaft erhalten hatte, errichtet worden sein. Dort stattete König Heinrich II. 1157 einen Besuch statt, als sie in Händen von Richard de Luci war. Ein steinerner Donjon wurde auf dem Mound errichtet, aber im 16. Jahrhundert wieder abgerissen und durch einen Ziegelbau ersetzt, der seinerseits im 18. Jahrhundert wieder abgerissen wurde. Der Mound ist heute mit Bäumen bestanden und befindet sich in Privatbesitz. Man kann ihn aber von einem öffentlich zugänglichen Fußweg aus sehen, der am Ende der High Street beginnt.

Ongar Castle

Ongar Castle, or Chipping Ongar Castle, is a late 11th- or early 12th-century motte and bailey castle in Chipping Ongar, Essex, England. Only the earthworks and a single block of masonry survive today. History The castle may have been built by Count Eustace II of Boulogne, who obtained the manor of Ongar in 1086. A stone tower was built in 1150 and was visited by King Henry II in 1157, when it was held by Richard de Lucy. A stone keep was built on top of the motte around 1086, which was confiscated by Richard III in November 1483 after he had Henry Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham executed for treason, and then was later given by Henry VIII to William Morice in 1541, but this was pulled down by Morice sometime between 1558 and 1579, and he had it replaced by a brick building, itself destroyed in the 18th century. The motte itself is now covered with trees and is in private ownership, but can be seen from a public footpath that starts at the north end of the High Street. A stone manor house was also built on the site of Ongar Castle by William Morice, where Elizabeth I was entertained in 1579; the manor house was eventually demolished in 1774 and was replaced by a summer house. Traces of the summer house remain to this day. In 1881, excavations on the site discovered four flint arches and a large block of masonry which probably supported by a post a flooring above; a Saxon spearhead was also discovered. Description The motte or mound is about 70 metres in diameter at the base and is surrounded by a wet ditch up to 15 metres wide. A kidney-shaped inner bailey is to the west of the motte and there is a second bailey to the east. The remains of a town enclosure embankment extend to the west.

Steinkreis von Delf Hill

Der Steinkreis von Delf Hill (auch Delph Hill Pasture genannt) liegt im Extwistle Moor, etwa 3,3 Kilometer nordöstlich von Worsthorne bei Hellclough Head, östlich von Burnley in Lancashire in England. Der von Walter Bennett (1946) und Aubrey Burl (2000) beschriebene Steinkreis scheint eine Cairneinfassung oder ein kleiner Tumulus, ein Grabhügel, zu sein. Er wurde erstmals 1842 vom Antiquar F.C. Spencer erwähnt. Spencer leitete eine Ausgrabung ein, deren Ergebnis die Entdeckung zweier merkwürdig markierter irdener Urnen war, die kleine Fragmente menschlicher Knochen enthielten, die mit Holzkohle vermischt waren. Die Gefäße waren mit Schieferplatten bedeckt, über die zum Schutz größere Steine gestellt waren. Die Urnen wurden etwa 60 Zentimeter unter der Feldoberfläche, in der Mitte des Kreises gefunden, eingebettet in weichen Lehm, mit viel Holzkohle durchsetzt. Der Steinkreis von etwa fünf Meter Durchmesser besteht aus sechs erhaltenen Steinen, die zwischen 30 und 60 Zentimeter groß sind und einen niedrigen Hügel umgeben. Berichte aus dem 19. Jahrhundert sprechen von fünf (1842) und sieben Steinen (1874). Literatur Walter Bennett: History of Burnley. Volume 1, Burnley Corporation 1946.

Northeye

Northeye is the site of an abandoned medieval village known as Hooe Level on the Pevensey Levels, west of Bexhill-on-Sea. The village is mentioned as a dependent limb of the Cinque Port of Hastings in a charter of 1229. It is thought to have been deserted around 1400 AD. The village consisted of houses and a flint built chapel, The Chapel of St James. Before the Pevensey Marshes were silted up and reclaimed, Northeye was an island in an inlet that reached inland to Hailsham. References
Ore Place

Ore Place are the ruins of a significant late medieval manor house in the northern outskirts of Hastings, East Sussex, England. The remaining parts of the building consist of walls up to 3m high and 0.7m thick and below ground archaeological remains. It is a Scheduled monument. History Historian Thomas Walker Horsfield claimed in his History of Sussex that Ore Place was built by John of Gaunt. Based on a 1991 partial excavation, the building is thought to date from the late 16c or early 17c. Horsfield also states the building had been used as a religious home, the home of Sir Richard Steele, and subsequently the residence of the Crispe family. The house was rebuilt in 1874 and became the home of the Dowager Lady Elphinstone. Ore Place subsequently came under the ownership of the eccentric Farmer Atkinson who allowed it to fall into disrepair. French Jesuits extended and converted the building to become a theologate, which opened in 1906. Amongst the students there was Pierre Teilhard de Chardin from 1908-1912. The learning centre had 20,000 books and could accommodate 100 students and continued to be used until 1926. During World War II the building was requisitioned for the Royal Army Service Corps for use as a records office. Military use continued after the war, with the Army Catering Corps records department joining the RASC in April 1947. The Victorian house was demolished in 1987.

Sigston Castle

Sigston Castle ist ein Burgstall im Dorf Kirby Sigston, etwa 6,5 km entfernt von Northallerton in der englischen Verwaltungseinheit North Yorkshire. Es liegt ungefähr 400 Meter nördlich der St Lawrence Kirche in Kirby Sigston und ist seit 1946 als Scheduled Monument in die National Heritage List for England eingetragen. Sigston Castle wird eine wichtige Rolle für die Erforschung des mittelalterlichen Landlebens zugeschrieben, da umliegende Felder (teilweise ist die Anlage der Felder mit ridge and furrows noch erhalten) und ein mittelalterliches Dorf, dessen Überreste sich unter dem heutigen Kirby Sigston befinden, als Einheit mit der Burg Auskunft über Landwirtschaft und Leben liefern. Das Land wurde 1313 von John de Sigston erworben, der zur gleichen Zeit auch das ungefähr 1,5 km weiter nördlich gelegene Winton Manor erworben hatte. Es wird angenommen, dass die Fischteiche von Winton Manor zur Versorgung von Sigston Castle dienten. De Sigston ließ eine Kastellburg errichten, die von einem Wassergraben umgeben war. Heute ist die Burg abgerissen und der Wassergraben liegt größtenteils trocken. Erhalten sind das Erdwerk mit darunter liegenden Fundamenten und oberirdisch Überreste des Ringwalles und des viereckigen, ungefähr 30 × 25 Meter großen Bergfrieds. Die vom Wassergraben eingegrenzte Fläche ist 140 (Nord–Süd) × 110 Meter (Ost–West) groß. Weblinks Kirby Sigston. GENUKI. Abgerufen am 9. Februar 2017.

Rougemont Castle, Weeton

Rougemont Castle in the manor of Harewood, in the parish of Weeton, North Yorkshire, England, is a ruined ringwork castle, now largely hidden within a small woodland within the grounds of Hawthorne House Farm (ruled by the Snowden dynasty), south east of the village of Weeton, above the north bank of the River Wharfe, where the river turns in a right-angle at its confluence with Weeton Beck. No above-ground structure survives but the earthwork features remain visible of building platforms, ditch system, outer enclosure and fish ponds. History It was the seat of the de Lisle family, of which Robert de Lisle was in 1311 created Baron Lisle "of Rougemont", to distinguish him from the unrelated family of Baron Lisle of Wootton, Isle of Wight in Hampshire, created in 1299. It served as the administrative centre of the manor of Harewood and as the residence of the lord of the manor. The site was abandoned in about 1366 when the Lisle family built Harewood Castle nearby, of which much of the ruined stone structure survives, also hidden in overgrown woodland. Harewood Castle itself was abandoned as a residence soon after 1600 when it was owned by Sir William Wentworth of Gawthorpe Hall. The estate of Harewood containing both ruined castles was purchased in 1738 by the Lascelles family, which built there as its seat the surviving palatial 18th-century mansion known as Harewood House, still owned by the family, which was created Earl of Harewood in 1812.

Hellifield Peel

Hellifield Peel is a historic building in Hellifield, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The peel tower was constructed in the 14th century as a solar associated with a nearby aisled hall. In the following century was converted into a tower house. Licence to crenellate was granted in 1440. In the 17th century a west wing was added and the windows were altered, while in the late 18th century the angle between the west wing and the tower was filled in, and sash windows were installed. A servants' wing was added further to the west around this time, while a wing was added to the east in the early 20th century. During World War II, it was requisitioned in connection with a prisoner of war camp. After the war, the house was bought by the furniture maker Harry Lund, who stripped it of wood, and then sold the remaining fixtures. This left the building roofless, leading it to fall into ruin. It was grade II listed in 1958. In 2004, the ruin was bought by Francis and Karen Shaw for £165,000. They restored the building, other than the servants' wing and east wing, the work featuring on the television programme Grand Designs. In order to repay the cost of the work, they operated the house as a bed and breakfast. The building is constructed of stone with a later embattled parapet, and has three storeys and three bays. The house contains windows with moulded surrounds, and in the left return are two staircase windows with chamfered surrounds, one with an ogee head. At the rear are two garderobe chutes.

Dunkeswell Abbey

Dunkeswell Abbey (Dunkeswella) ist eine ehemalige Zisterzienserabtei beim Dorf Dunkeswell und rund 10 km nordnordwestlich von Honiton in Devon in England. Geschichte Das Kloster wurde 1201 von dem königlichen Beamten William Brewer als Tochterkloster von Forde Abbey gestiftet und mit Besitzungen im östlichen Devon ausgestattet. Es gehörte damit der Filiation von Cîteaux an. Der Stifter trat selbst 1224, zwei Jahre vor seinem Tod, in das Kloster ein. Brewers Sohn William Brewer vermehrte die Ausstattung des Klosters. Im Valor Ecclesiasticus wurde das Jahreseinkommen im Jahr 1535 mit 294 Pfund angesetzt. Die Abtei verfiel daher erst in der zweiten Auflösungswelle im Jahr 1539 der Auflösung. Die Klostergüter erhielt Lord Russell. Der größte Teil der Anlage wurde bald abgebrochen. Jedoch war ein Teil der Gebäude der Klausur wohl noch bis in das 19. Jahrhundert bewohnt. 1841 und 1913 fanden Ausgrabungen statt. Bauten und Anlage Die Anlage entsprach im Wesentlichen dem bernhardinischen Plan mit einer kreuzförmigen, im Osten rechteckig geschlossenen Kirche im Norden und der Klausur südlich (rechts) von der Kirche. Erhalten sind ein Teil des Torhauses im Westen sowie ruinöse Bereiche des Westbaus der Klausur. Die 1842 auf Veranlassung der Familie Simcoe erbaute Pfarrkapelle steht im Bereich des Langhauses der Klosterkirche; zu ihrem Bau wurde Material des Klosters verwendet, darunter eine Pflasterung aus dem 13. Jahrhundert. Literatur Anthony New: A guide to the Abbeys of England and Wales. Constable & Company, London 1985, ISBN 0-09-463520-X, S. 156–157.

Abbaye de Dunkeswell

L’abbaye de Dunkeswell est une abbaye cistercienne située à Dunkeswell, située dans le Devon, en Angleterre. Elle a été bâtie à partir de 1201. Comme la plupart des abbayes anglaises, elle a été fermée en 1539, durant la campagne de dissolution des monastères. Histoire Fondation L'abbaye est fondée sur la requête de William Brewer, shérif du Devon, qui demande à des moines cisterciens de l'abbaye de Forde de s'installer sur son territoire. Il est d'ailleurs enterré dans l'abbaye à sa mort en 1226 Moyen Âge Dissolution En 1536, comme de nombreuses autres abbayes anglaises, à la suite de la rupture entre Henry VIII et l'Église catholique, l'abbaye de Dunkeswell est fermée et les moines chassés.

Slingsby Castle

Slingsby Castle is a ruined building in Slingsby, North Yorkshire, a village in England. Ralph Hastings was granted licence to crenellate his house in Slingsby in 1344. In 1474, William Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings was similarly granted a licence to crenellate the property. Only the dry remains of its moat survive: 22 metres wide and 3.4 metres deep on the north and west sides, slightly smaller and partly infilled to the east, and only 1 metre deep to the south, with that side infilled entirely at each end. In 1594, Charles Cavendish bought the ruined castle. When his son, also Charles Cavendish, inherited the building, he demolished it, commissioning John Smythson to design a new country house on the site. It is unlikely that the house was completed before it was slighted during the English Civil War. The ruins survive as a scheduled monument and a grade II listed building, but are also included on the Heritage at Risk Register as being in "very bad" and "declining" condition. The ruins are built of limestone, and form a rectangular plan, 100 feet (30 m) by 66 feet (20 m), with corner projections. The window openings have quoined jambs and triangular pediments. There are the remains of a cornice with a decorated band. Most of the surviving remains are corner turrets and parts of the side walls. The basement was vaulted and contained a kitchen and two cellars. The main floor was divided into two sections and probably comprised a great hall and chamber, along with apartments.

Netley Castle

Netley Castle er et tidlige artillerifort opført i enten 1542 eller 1544 af kong Henrik 8. i landsbyen Netley, Hampshire, England. Den var en del af kongens Device Forts, der skulle beskytte Englands kyst mod invasion fra Frankrig og Det tysk-romerske Rige, og den beskyttede Southampton Water nær the Solent. Borgen bestod af et keep flankeret af to kanonplatforme, og den havde en garnison på 10 mand. Den blev taget ud af militær brug under den engelske borgerkrig og i 1743 var det en overgroet ruin. I 1800-tallet blev ejendommen gradvist ombygget til privat hjem, og der blev lavet en tilbygning i nygotik med oktagonale tårne. Mellem 1939 og 1998 blev bygningen brugt til plejehjem, men de høje vedligeholdelsesomkostninger gjorde, at det måtte lukke. Efter en arkæologisk undersøgelse blev det herefter ombygget til ni lejligheder. Det er en listed building af anden grad. Se også Liste over borge og slotte i England Referencer Eksterne henvisninger

Lees Hall Roman Camp

Lees Hall Roman Camp is an archaeological site, a Roman camp near Hadrian's Wall, in Northumberland, England. It is near Haltwhistle and adjacent to the B6318 road. Description The camp is one of over 40 temporary Roman camps recorded near Hadrian's Wall; they may have been marching camps, or were occupied by troops constructing the wall, or were used during military training. This camp is unusual in having an outwork surrounding the main defences, suggesting that it was used for more than one campaign season. The camp, a scheduled monument, is about 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) south of Hadrian's Wall, and is 680 metres (2,230 ft) south of the Vallum. There are extensive views to the north and east; a small stream, running from west to east, lies within the fort. It survives as earthworks and ditches; the rampart has an average height of 0.3 metres (1 ft 0 in) with an external ditch up to 0.4 metres (1 ft 4 in) deep. It is rectangular, measuring 203 metres (666 ft) west to east by 140 metres (460 ft) north to south, enclosing an area of 1.7 hectares (4.2 acres). There are four gateways, which are in the centre of the west and east side and offset to the east on the north and south sides, implying that the camp faced east. The outwork surrounds the fort about 10 metres (33 ft) outside the main defences; its average height is 0.2 metres (7.9 in), with breaks opposite the gateways. References
Domus Dei

Domus Dei (Hospital of Saint Nicholas and Saint John the Baptist) was an almshouse and hospice at Old Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. It is now also known as the Royal Garrison Church and is an English Heritage property and a Grade II listed building. History The hospice was established by Peter des Roches (sometimes incorrectly named as de Rupibus), Bishop of Winchester and William of Wrotham in around 1212 A.D. In 1450 an unpopular advisor to the king, Bishop Adam Moleyns of Chichester was conducting a service at the chapel of Domus Dei when a number of naval seamen (resentful of being only partially paid and only provided with limited provisions) burst into the church, dragged out the bishop and murdered him. As a result of this the entire town of Portsmouth was placed under the Greater Excommunication, an interdict which lasted until 1508, removed at the request of Bishop Foxe of Winchester. In 1540, like many other chantry buildings, it was seized by King Henry VIII and until 1560 was used as an armoury. After 1560, a mansion built close by the south-side became the home of the local military governor. In 1662 the mansion hosted the wedding of King Charles II and Princess Catherine of Braganza. In 1814, the Prince Regent hosted at the Governor's house Tsar Alexander I of Russia and King Frederick William III of Prussia, along with several leading Allied military figures following the end of the War of the Sixth Coalition. Towards the end of the seventeenth century the church building fell into disrepair until it was restored in 1767 to become the Garrison church. Once again, the Church fell into disrepair and in 1865 a new restoration project began under the direction of G. E. Street which lasted ten years. On 10 January 1941 the buildings of Domus Dei were partially destroyed in an attack by German bombers, when all the stained glass windows were blown out and the nave was rendered roofless by incendiary bombs and a single high explosive bomb. New glazing was subsequently fitted. Apart from the East window with its traditional design, all the other windows show much of the British Army's relationship to the Church and the City of Portsmouth. The chancel is intact, but the nave remains roofless. The aisles but not the central nave were re-roofed in 1995. In October 2021, the building was one of 142 sites across England to receive part of a £35-million grant from the government's Culture Recovery Fund.
