Brunswick Square

Brunswick Square est un jardin public d’environ 3 acres (1,2 ha), entouré de rues portant son nom sur deux de ses côtés, situé à Bloomsbury, dans le borough londonien de Camden. Il est bordé au nord par la School of Pharmacy et par le Foundling Museum, à l’ouest par le Brunswick Centre et au sud par International Hall, une résidence universitaire de l’université de Londres. À l’est se trouve un espace clos de terrains de jeux agrémenté d’arbres, Coram's Fields, dépendant de l’œuvre caritative Coram Family, qui occupe une superficie un peu plus de deux fois supérieure à celle de Brunswick Square. Au-delà de cet espace, Mecklenburgh Square constitue, de façon symétrique, un square de même superficie (1,2 ha, voies incluses). Les deux squares tirent leur nom de reines consorts contemporaines : respectivement l’épouse de George III et l’épouse de son fils aîné George IV. Histoire L’espace qui correspond aujourd’hui au square (à l’exception de la plus longue des deux rues qui le bordent et qui portait déjà ce nom) ainsi que la partie des bâtiments qui lui font face font à l’origine partie des terrains du Foundling Hospital. En 1790, il est prévu de les louer à des fins de construction de maisons de ville, de concert avec Mecklenburgh Square, afin de procurer des revenus à l’hôpital. Brunswick Square, baptisé en l’honneur de Caroline de Brunswick, est le premier à être achevé, construit par le promoteur James Burton entre 1795 et 1802. Aucun des immeubles d’origine ne subsiste aujourd’hui. Devant le Foundling Museum, sur l’une des grilles du square, se trouve une petite sculpture en bronze représentant un gant d’enfant, œuvre de l’artiste Tracey Emin. Dans la littérature, les arts et les médias Dans le roman Emma de Jane Austen, John et Isabella Knightley résident à Brunswick Square. Dans La Foire aux vanités (Vanity Fair) de William Makepeace Thackeray, la famille Osborne habite Brunswick Square. Résidents notables Le négociant, archéologue et numismate Thomas Burgon s'établit à Brunswick Square en 1814, à son retour de Smyrne. Le critique et écrivain John Ruskin naît au 54 Hunter Street, Brunswick Square, en 1819. Le Minerva Club est fondé à Brunswick Square en 1920 par la doctoresse Elizabeth Knight (en) et Alice Green. Le club sert de lieu de réunion à la Women's Freedom League et de foyer pour des militantes suffragistes ; on y organise aussi des fêtes d’anniversaire annuelles destinées à collecter des fonds pour la militante Charlotte Despard, qui voyage chaque année depuis l’Irlande pour y assister. L’écrivain E. M. Forster utilise le 26 Brunswick Square comme base londonienne de 1930 à 1939.

Buck Ait

Buck Ait ist eine Insel in der Themse in Buckinghamshire, England. Die Insel liegt flussaufwärts des Shiplake Lock nahe Sonning. Die Insel bezieht ihren Namen von den Aalreusen, die hier ausgelegt wurden. Es gibt Berichte aus dem späten 19. Jahrhundert, dass diese hier ein beträchtliches Hindernis für die Schifffahrt darstellten. Siehe auch Liste der Inseln in der Themse Weblinks Einzelnachweise
Buck Ait

Buck Ait is an island in the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England. It is on the reach above Shiplake Lock near Sonning. The island is uninhabited and tree-covered. It lies low, acting as a water-meadow in times of flood, opposite houses with large river frontages. Its shape shows the cumulative effect of the locally curved stream, its erosion and deposition make the upstream end almost joined to the bank; the downstream end, broken into islets. The island derives its name from the eel bucks or traps that used to be placed here. Late 19th century Thames Conservancy records state they caused considerable hindrance to navigation. Eel bucks were set in St Patrick's Stream on the bank opposite upstream also; perhaps once a tributary of the mouth of the Loddon which became a distributary of a foreshortened Loddon when water levels rose by the building of Shiplake Lock and its heightened weir. Buck Ait is positioned towards the Oxfordshire bank of the river. See also Islands in the River Thames References
Buckenham Castle

Old Buckenham Castle und New Buckenham Castle sind zwei Burgruinen in den benachbarten Dörfern Old Buckenham und New Buckenham in der englischen Grafschaft Norfolk. Old Buckenham Castle Die einzig bis heute erhaltenen Überreste der ehemaligen normannischen Burg sind Reste von Erdwerken und Spuren einer steinernen Wehrmauer. Die Burg wurde auf Geheiß von Guillaume d'Aubigny, einem Gefolgsmann von Wilhelm dem Eroberer, erbaut. Nachdem die Burg an einem anderen Standort neu errichtet worden war, etablierte sich eine Priorei an dieser Stelle und so wurden viele frühere Überreste zerstört. Zur Erhaltung der Funktion einer Burg und zur Aufnahme einer Garnison erbaute man New Buckenham Castle an derselben Stelle, an der es heute steht und auch der Grundriss hat sich kaum verändert. New Buckenham Castle Da die Gemeindegrenze östlich davon, nahe dem Dorf New Buckenham, liegt, befinden sich die Ruinen der Burg, die Erdwerke, die Kapelle, die Scheune und die meisten umgebenden Wiesen tatsächlich auf dem Gemeindegebiet von Old Buckenham und sollten korrekterweise „Old Buckenham Castle“ heißen. Das Dorf New Buckenham wurde später als die Burg angelegt. Zu Anfang der Regentschaft von König Stephan ließ William d’Aubigny, 1. Earl of Arundel eine neue Burg drei Kilometer nordwestlich der alten Burg errichten. Heute sieht man davon noch die verbleibenden Fundamente des kreisrunden Steindonjons, der einen Durchmesser von etwa 18 Metern hatte. Die Burg wurde während des Krieges der Barone 1263 belagert. 1649 wurde die Festung schließlich von ihrem damaligen Besitzer, Sir Philip Knyvet, abgerissen, wobei nur der Burggraben und Erdwerke erhalten blieben. Die Familie Knyvet war von ihrem früheren Sitz in Southwick (Northamptonshire) hierhergezogen. 1465 lebte Sir John Knyvet auf der Burg. In diesem Jahr heiratete seine Tochter Sir Henry Colet, der später Lord Mayor of London wurde. Die Burg bestand aus einem inneren Hof und zwei äußeren Höfen, die alle mit Erdwällen eingefasst waren. Den kreisrunden Donjon hält man für den ältesten Englands. Seine Mauern waren an der Basis 3,34 Meter dick und man glaubt, dass er zwölf Meter hoch war. New Buckenham Castle liegt am Rand des Dorfes, das seinerseits etwa 32 km südwestlich von Norwich an der A 11 und an der B 1077 liegt. English Heritage hat New Buckenham Castle als historisches Gebäude der Kategorie Grade I gelistet, die Burgruine gilt als Scheduled Monument. Interessierte Besucher können sich den Schlüssel bei der Castle Hill Garage abholen. Sie müssen ein kleines Eintrittsgeld bezahlen. Einzelnachweise Quelle P. M.

Buckenham Castle

Old Buckenham Castle and Buckenham Castle are two castles adjacent respectively to the villages of Old Buckenham and New Buckenham, Norfolk, England. Old Buckenham Castle All that remains today of what was a Norman castle are the remnants of the earthworks and some traces of a stone curtain wall. The castle was built by William d'Aubigny, a follower of William the Conqueror. After the castle was moved to the new site a priory (Old Buckenham Priory) was established on the site thus destroying many of the earlier remains. Buckenham Castle In the early part of the reign of King Stephen a new castle was built two miles to the south east of the site of the old castle by the Aubigny family. Today the remaining foundations of a circular stone keep are still visible - this is approximately 60 feet in diameter. The castle was besieged during the Barons' War in 1263. In 1316 Buckenham Castle was inherited by Adam de Clifton (d. 1366), son of Roger de Clifton (d. 1316). The last in the male line was John Clifton (d. 1447) whose sister and eventual heiress Elizabeth Clifton married John Knyvett, and thus Buckenham Castle passed to her Knyvett descendants. The fortress was finally demolished in 1649 by Philip Knyvett, 1st Baronet, leaving just the moat and the earth ramparts. The Knyvett family had moved here from their earlier seat at Southwick, Northamptonshire. By 1465 John Knyvet occupied the castle. That year his daughter, Christiana, married Henry Colet, later Lord Mayor of London. The castle comprised an inner bailey and two outer baileys, all with earth walls. The circular keep is thought to be the earliest in England. Its walls are 11 feet thick at their base and it is thought that the height of the keep in its heyday could have been as much as 40 feet. To service the castle and garrison, the planned settlement of New Buckenham was established and today the village covers much the same area and grid layout as the original. Despite being adjacent to the village of New Buckenham, the ruins of the castle, the earthworks, the St Mary's chapel/barn and most of the surrounding meadows/scheduled land are in the parish of Old Buckenham. This site is a Grade I Listed building and a Scheduled Monument. The castle is private property and access can be sought at the village shop on King Street in New Buckenham.

Buckingham Chantry Chapel

Buckingham Chantry Chapel (also known as the Old Latin School) is a 15th-century chapel and a National Trust property in Buckingham, Buckinghamshire, England. The chapel is the oldest building in Buckingham and is noted in particular for its Norman doorway. Few buildings in Buckingham date to before the 18th century, as a large fire destroyed much of the town in 1725. The chapel is a Grade II* listed building, being added to the list by English Heritage on 13 October 1952. History The building was originally established as a hospital in the 12th century. It became a chantry chapel in 1268, founded by Matthew de Stratton, the Archdeacon of Buckingham. The present building dates from the 15th century, when John Ruding, Archdeacon of Lincoln, undertook rebuilding work in 1471 and 1481. The building was later used by the Royal Latin School, with the chantry priests probably serving as the first schoolmasters. A schoolmaster's house was added to the north. The school remained on the site until 1907, when expansion prompted a move to new buildings on Chandos Road. Further restoration work was undertaken by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1875. The chapel was given to the National Trust in 1912. It is still owned by the Trust, and is open to the public as a second-hand bookshop.

Buckshaw Hall

Buckshaw Hall is a Grade II* listed 17th-century country house in Buckshaw Village, Euxton, some 3 miles (4.8 km) north-west of Chorley, England. History The Buckshaw Estate was originally owned by the Anderton family of Euxton Hall, who in 1652 sold it to Major Edward Robinson Melmoth, who built the present hall in 1654. In the 19th century, the estate was sold to John Walmsley and then passed to the Towneley Parkers of Cuerden Hall and the Crosse family of Shaw Hill. Extensive restoration of the southern wing was carried out by Colonel Thomas Richard Crosse in 1885, after which it was sold to Richard Stock, who in 1936 sold the estate and surrounding farmland to the Ministry of Supply to establish a new munitions factory. The munitions complex was known as ROF Chorley and the hall was used for office accommodation. In 2005 the factory was closed and the site transferred back to private ownership. Much of the land is being developed for housing as Buckshaw Village. In 1954 the Ministry of Works planned to demolish the building but this was not done. By 2002 Buckshaw Hall was dilapidated and Chorley Civic Society campaigned for developers to restore it. It was vandalised in 2012. Having been sold in 2018, the hall is now privately owned. Restorative work including reconstruction of the collapsed east elevation was carried out by Donald Insall Associates. Architecture It is a timber-framed manor house on a high sandstone plinth with infilling partly in wattle and daub and partly in brick, and with a slate roof. It has a H-shaped plan, consisting of a hall with two cross-wings, and is in two storeys. Behind the hall is a projecting stair turret. The upper floors of the wings are jettied, and the gables have wavy bargeboards and apex finials. Inside are inglenooks, bressumers, and timber-framed partitions.
