Woodcroft Castle

Woodcroft Castle er en middelalderborg med voldgrav i Etton Sogn i Cambridgeshire i England. Historie Woodcroft Castle blev bygget mod slutningen af 1200-tallet ved byen Peterborough i Soke of Peterborough (nu en del af Cambridgeshire). De dele af borgen, der er bevaret til i dag er den forreste del, det runde tårn og portbygningen. Der er tvivl, om borgen oprindeligt havde et normalt Edvardiansk firsidet design, hvoraf størstedelen er gået tabt, eller om den aldrig blev færdigbygget. Ændringer fra begyndelsen af tudor-perioden bibeholdt disse middelalderlige elementer i det nuværende design. Under den engelske borgerkrig i 1600-tallet havde royalisterne kontrol med borgen, mens parlamentarikerne belejrede den og den faldt i 1648. Dr Michael Hudson, kommandør over royalisternes garnison, blev slået ihjel 6. juni 1648 ved afslutningen af belejringen. Borgen er en Listed building af grad II* og en tilhørende lade og stald er af grad II. Bygningen er i privateje og bruges til beboelse.

Woodcroft Castle

Woodcroft Castle ist eine Burg in der Gemeinde Etton in der englischen Grafschaft Cambridgeshire. Geschichte Woodcroft Castle wurde Ende des 13. Jahrhunderts in der Nähe der Stadt Peterborough in Cambridgeshire errichtet. Es ist nach der Familie Woodcroft benannt, die das Anwesen in dieser Zeit besaß. Von dieser mittelalterlichen Burg sind heute noch die Eingangsfassade, ein Rundturm und das Torhaus erhalten. Man ist sich nicht darüber einig, ob die ursprüngliche Burg eine eduardische Vierseitkonstruktion war, die seither größtenteils verschwand, oder ob sie niemals fertiggestellt worden ist. Bei einem späteren Umbau im Tudorstil wurden diese mittelalterlichen Elemente integriert. Woodcroft Castle wurde im englischen Bürgerkrieg von den Royalisten gehalten und dann 1648 von den Parlamentaristen erfolgreich angegriffen und eingenommen. Heute Heute ist die Burg ein historisches Gebäude II. Grades. Einzelnachweise
Woodcroft Castle

Woodcroft Castle is a moated medieval castle in the parish of Etton, Cambridgeshire, England. History Woodcroft Castle was built at the end of the 13th century near the city of Peterborough in the Soke of Peterborough (now in Cambridgeshire). The medieval portions of the castle today include the front range, the circular tower, and the gatehouse. There is debate as to whether the castle originally followed a normal Edwardian quadrilateral design, of which most has since been lost, or if it was never completed. Early Tudor additions (late 1400s) retained these medieval elements in the current design. Woodcroft Castle was briefly held by the Royalists during the Second English Civil War and was attacked and taken by Parliamentarian forces in June 1648. Michael Hudson, commander of the Royalist forces had attempted to raise forces for the King in Stamford but was cornered by Parliamentarian forces under Colonel Thomas Waite and took refuge in the castle, which belonged to William FitzWilliam, 2nd Baron FitzWilliam, a Parliamentarian supporter. The siege lasted less than 48 hours, and ended with the death of Hudson, when he refused to surrender the building, and again refused to surrender when trapped at the top of the main tower. The castle is a Grade II* listed building and the 18th-century barn and stable range is Grade II. The castle is a private dwelling.

Château de Woodcroft

Le château de Woodcroft est un château médiéval entouré de douves situé dans la paroisse d'Etton, dans le Cambridgeshire, en Angleterre. Histoire Le château de Woodcroft est construit à la fin du XIIIe siècle près de la ville de Peterborough, dans le Soke de Peterborough (aujourd'hui dans le Cambridgeshire). Les parties médiévales du château comprennent aujourd'hui la façade, la tour circulaire et la guérite. Il y a un débat quant à savoir si le château suivait à l'origine une conception quadrilatérale édouardienne normale, dont la majeure partie a été perdue depuis, ou s'il n'a tout simplement jamais été entièrement achevé. Les premiers ajouts Tudor (fin des années 1400) conservent ces éléments médiévaux dans la structure actuelle. Le château de Woodcroft est brièvement détenu par les royalistes pendant la Seconde Guerre civile anglaise et est attaqué et pris avec succès par les forces parlementaires en juin 1648. Michael Hudson, commandant des forces royalistes, a tenté de lever des forces pour le roi à Stamford, mais est acculé par les forces parlementaires dirigées par le colonel Thomas Waite et se réfugie dans le château qui appartient à William FitzWilliam, 2e baron FitzWilliam, un partisan du parlement. Le siège dure moins de 48 heures et se termine par la mort d'Hudson, lorsqu'il refuse de se rendre alors qu'il est coincé au sommet de la tour principale. Le château est un bâtiment classé Grade II* et la grange et l'écurie du XVIIIe siècle sont de Grade II. Aujourd'hui, le château est une demeure privée.

Castel Woodcroft

Castel Woodcroft (in inglese Woodcroft Castle) si trova nella parrocchia civile di Etton nell'Autorità unitaria di Peterborough nella contea Cambridgeshire, Inghilterra dell'est. La sua costruzione risale al XIII secolo. Storia Sul sito di castel Woodcroft sorgeva un maniero fortificato edificato già nel XIII secolo e munito di un fossato difensivo. Il castello fu costruito vicino alla città di Peterborough nel Cambridgeshire e il suo nome si deve alla famiglia Woodcroft che possedeva la proprietà in questo periodo. In seguito quella primitiva fortezza è stata in parte ricostruita ed in parte inglobata nella nuova struttura. Dopo la sua ricostruzione è stato più volte rimaneggiato sino a perdere poco alla volta le sue caratteristiche di struttura militare. Nel 1649 il reverendo Michael Hudson, allora cappellano di Carlo I d'Inghilterra, prese parte alla difesa del castello contro le truppe che parteggiavano per il parlamanto durante la guerra civile. Del castello medievale si conservano ancora la facciata col portale d'accesso, una torre circolare e il corpo di guardia. La ristrutturazione che ci è pervenuta rispetta lo stile Tudor. Descrizione Castel Woodcroft si trova nella parrocchia civile di Etton appartenente a Peterborough nella contea Cambridgeshire, Inghilterra del sud-est. Si tratta di un castello a base quadrangolare con aggiunte e modifiche successive alla sua erezione. Ciò che rimane è il lato ovest dell'edificio originario con un portale centrale e una torre circolare all'estremità nord. Probabilmente al centro c'era il cortile mentre gli altri 3 lati e le relative torri angolari non ci sono più. All'estremità nord la torre angolare circolare si alza per 3 piani rispetto al fossato. Sulla facciata della torre, del portale e dell'attico si trovano finestre a monofora con cornici in nicchie smussate. Il resto delle finestre sono prevalentemente a bifora, trifora e quadrifora con cornici in pietra. I marcapiani sono modanati al livello del pavimento. L'ala di minor dimensione a nord-est all'interno presenta un grande camino medievale e la ristrutturazione alla quale è stato sottoposto il castello ha rispettato lo stile Tudor. Bene tutelato come edificio storico L'English Heritage ha classificato castel Woodcroft come edificio storico di secondo grado col numero 1126782.

Замок Вудкрофт

Замок Вудкрофт представляет собой переоборудованный средневековый замок в приходе (общине) Эттон (англ. Etton), Кембриджшир, Англия. История Замок Вудкрофт был построен в конце XIII века, около 1280 года, возле города Питерборо в Кембриджшир. Назван в честь семьи Вудкрофт (англ. Woodcroft), которая владела им в то время. Остатки средневекового замка сегодня включают в себя фасад, круглую башню и сторожку у ворот. Существует дискуссия относительно того, является ли оригинальный замок образцом дизайна нормального эдвардианского четырёхугольника, большинство строений такого дизайна с тех пор было потеряно, или, возможно, замок просто никогда не был полностью завершён. Позже тюдоровские преобразования сохранил эти средневековые элементы в текущем дизайне. Замок Вудкрофт удерживался роялистами (кавалерами) во время английской гражданской войны и был успешно атакован и взят парламентскими силами в 1648 году. Сегодня замок числится в перечне зданий Второго Класса. Примечания Библиография Pettifer, Adrian. (2002) English Castles: a Guide by Counties. Woodbridge, UK: Boydell Press. ISBN 978-0-85115-782-5.

Woodcroft Halt railway station

Woodcroft Halt railway station was a former railway halt located in the parish of Buriton between Rowlands Castle and Petersfield on the Portsmouth Direct Line. History During World War II, in 1940, the Admiralty requisitioned Ditcham Park, a nearby country house for use as a convalescent home for sailors (the house is now a private school). The halt was built to serve Ditcham Park, principally for trains from the extensive naval facilities in Portsmouth about 20 km (12 mi) away. Woodcroft Halt, which was also known as Ditcham Park Halt, opened on 4 October 1943, and closed on 1 October 1945. Because of its naval nature, it was featured on few maps, but some maps did mark it by a little tab without a name. It was closed in 1945 and subsequently demolished; just a footbridge remains. Location The halt was located 59 miles 72 chains (96.4 km) from Waterloo, at grid reference SU737161 which is now marked on the OS 1:25000 map as "Woodcroft Farm". The stations to either side were Petersfield and Rowlands Castle. Notes References Mitchell, Vic; Smith, Keith (December 1985). Woking to Portsmouth (Southern Main Line Railway Albums).

Bahnhof Woodhall Junction

Der Bahnhof Woodhall Junction, der früher Kirkstead Station genannt wurde, ist ein stillgelegter Bahnhof in Woodhall, Lincolnshire. Er war ein Verkehrsknotenpunkt, an dem sich mehrere Strecken trafen, die heute alle stillgelegt sind. Geschichte Der Bahnhof wurde 1948 im Rahmen der Einweihung der Lincolnshire Loop Line zwischen Lincoln und Boston entlang des Flusses Witham in Betrieb genommen. Eine Zweigstrecke über Woodhall Spa nach Horncastle wurde 1855 eröffnet, und die New Line, die 1913 eröffnet wurde, zweigte von der Loop Line etwas südlich von Woodhall Junction ab und verlief durch die trockengelegenen Feuchtgebiete (Fens) nach Midville, um kürzere Reisezeiten nach Skegness zu ermöglichen. 1922 wurde der Name Woodhall Junction statt Kirkstead Station gewählt, weil Woodhall Spa als Ferienort an Bedeutung gewann. Der Personenverkehr wurde 1970 eingestellt, als die Loop Line geschlossen wurde, und endgültig 1971 auch für den Güterverkehr außer Betrieb genommen, als die Strecke Lincoln – Bardney – Woodhall Junction – Horncastle stillgelegt wurde. Das Bahnhofsgebäude ist heute ein privates Wohnhaus, aber die ehemaligen Bahnsteige und der frühere Güterbahnhof sind noch deutlich sichtbar. Einzelnachweise
Woodhall Junction railway station

Woodhall Junction railway station (previously Kirkstead railway station) is a former station in Woodhall, Lincolnshire. It served as a junction where several different lines met, none of which are still open. The station opened as Kirkstead (Kirkstead and Horncastle according to the notice in "The Times") on 17 October 1848 as part of the "Lincolnshire Loop Line" between Lincoln and Boston which largely followed the course of the River Witham. A branch line was opened from Kirkstead to Horncastle via Woodhall Spa by the Horncastle Railway on 11 August 1855 by which time the station was known as Kirkstead. The Kirkstead and Little Steeping Railway, known locally as the "New Line", opened in 1913 leaving the Loop Line just south of Woodhall Junction and cut across the fens to Midville allowing faster journey times to Skegness. The renaming of the station from Kirkstead to Woodhall Junction in 1922 was an attempt to increase the profile of Woodhall Spa as a holiday destination. The station was host to a LNER camping coach for the 1935 season. The lines through the station closed at different times: The branch line to Horncastle closed to passengers on 13 September 1954. The Lincolnshire Loop Line route from Lincoln to Boston via Tattershall closed to passengers on 17 June 1963. The station closed to passengers on 5 October 1970 when the Lincoln Central to Firsby via Midville was closed to passengers. On 5 April 1971 the Goods Service between Lincoln - Bardney - Woodhall Junction and Horncastle was withdrawn - the last line to stay open through the station. It is now a private residence, but the platforms and former goods yard are clearly still visible References Hurst, Geoffrey (1992). Register of Closed Railways: 1948-1991.

Woodhall Spa Golf Club

De Woodhall Spa Golf Club was een besloten golfclub in Lincolnshire (Engeland). Geschiedenis De golfclub werd in 1891 opgericht en was een van de oudste golfclubs van Engeland. Het ontwerp van de eerste golfbaan werd gemaakt door Harry Vardon. Twee keer, in 1895 en 1902, moest de club verhuizen wegens stadsuitbreidingen. Kolonel Stafford Vere Hotchkin bood toen een stuk land aan waarop door Harry Vardon een 18-holesbaan werd aangelegd, die in 1998 naar Hotchkin genoemd werd. De baan werd op 24 april 1905 geopend. In 1911 werd de baan door Harry Colt veranderd en langer gemaakt. Hotchkin nam de club over na de Eerste Wereldoorlog en veranderde enkele holes. De English Golf Union kocht de club in 1995 van Neil Hotchkin, de zoon van Stafford Vere Hotchkin. Hierop werd hoofdkantoor op deze club gevestigd. Het staat sindsdien bekend als het The National Golf Centre. In 1998 kwam er een tweede baan bij, de Bracken, ontworpen door Donald Steel en geschikt voor grote toernooien. Hier is sindsdien onder meer de Brabazon Trophy en het Brits Amateur gespeeld. Externe link (en) Officiële website
