Willy Howe

Willy Howe (also Willey-Hou) is a tumulus in the Yorkshire Wolds, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. History and description Willy Howe is a large round barrow 7.5 m (25 ft) high, located between Wold Newton and Burton Fleming in the civil parish of Thwing. The mound has been recorded as being excavated several times: by Lord Londesborough in 1857; and by Canon William Greenwell in 1887. Neither found burials or grave goods; Greenwell found a feature approximating a shallow grave. The structure has a central space, resulting from the 19th-century excavations, additionally an earthwork ramp created as part of Greenwell's excavations has also modified the site. Use as a Thingstead during the medieval period has been speculated. Willy Howe is registered on the National Heritage List for England as a Scheduled Monument. Its List Entry Number is 1008040. Folklore Thomas Wright ascribed the barrow to be the location of a folktale recorded by William of Newburgh in the 12th century: the legend tells of a man returning home past the barrow at night being surprised to hear sounds of feasting, merriment and singing emanating from the mound. On approaching the mound he was offered a cup of drink from fairy-folk there but being wary of the nature of the drink offered he emptied the cup and rode off on his horse with the cup, pursued by the dwellers of the mound. According to the story the vessel was of unusual form and colour and eventually passed into the hands of Henry I and later other kings. At least two other fairy tales have been ascribed to the mound, one of an immovable chest of treasure, the other of a fairy bride depositing gold for her human lover.

Wilmington Priory

Wilmington Priory was a Benedictine priory in the civil parish of Long Man, East Sussex, England. The surviving building is now owned by the Landmark Trust and let as holiday accommodation. It is both a Grade I listed building and a scheduled monument. History Wilmington Priory was founded in the mid 11th century as a small alien cell of St Mary by Herluin de Conteville. It was enlarged in 1243 to create a priory, but primarily run as a grange to maintain the lands held in the area by the Benedictine monks of Grestain Abbey in Normandy. The building was fortified in the 14th century with a portcullis and a three-storey drum tower, which was demolished in the 18th century. The grange was suppressed along with other alien cells in 1414, and given to the Dean and Chapter of Chichester Cathedral, who in 1565 granted it to Sir Richard Sackville. About 1700 the estate passed to the Compton family, later Earls of Wilmington. It passed by marriage from them to the Cavendish family, and in 1925 the ninth Duke of Devonshire conveyed the priory to the Sussex Archaeological Trust, who repaired the building and set up a small museum of farm implements. The priory was open daily in the 1960s. Subsequently, it passed to the Landmark Trust. On the site today stands a 14th-century two-storey L-shaped house, incorporating part of a 13th-century building, which was modified in the 18th century and is Grade I listed. To the north and south of the house are the ruins of other buildings, under one of which is a 14th-century vaulted undercroft. The priory church is used today as the parish church St Mary and St Peter's Church, Wilmington. See also List of monastic houses in East Sussex Alfriston Market Cross. The cross was restored in 1955–56 using stone from a tithe barn which stood in the grounds of Wilmington Priory. References

Wilton Castle

Wilton Castle er en normannisk borg fra 1100-tallet i det sydøstlige Herefordshire, England der ligger ved floden Wye tæt ved byen Ross-on-Wye. Den har navn efter den tilhørende herregård. Den står i dag som en ruin, Longchamps-familien fra Wilton var fogeder i Normandiet, kanslere i England, sheriffer i Hereford og Welsh Marches og blandt Johan uden lands modstandere. De blev efterfulgt af De Cantilupe-familien (se Thomas de Cantilupe) og De Grey, der tilsammen opbyggede en magtbase i Wales og Marches. Matilda de Grey, født de Cantilupe, løj i retten overfor kong Edvard 1. af England at borgen var opført af hendes Longchamp-forfædre under Edvard Bekenderen (1042–66). Borgen kan dog ikke have været blevet opført før 1154 og baroniet havde aldrig de Marcher Lord-rettigheder, som Lady Matilda påstod at have. Borgen bliver primært associeret med en gren af Norman-familien, Baron Grey af Wilton, et prominent dynasti af de normanniske Marcher Lords i i de walisiske marches, der ejede den fra 1308 eller før. Borgen kom ud af familiens eje, da William Grey blev taget til fange af franskmændene ved slutningen af forsvaret af Guînes i 1557, hvor han blev tvunget til at sælge borgen for at skaffe penge til sin løsesum. Borgen blev ødelagt under den engelske borgerkrig, hvor der var flere træfninger og belejringer i området, heriblandt ved Goodrich Castle, Ruardyn Castle og Raglan Castle.

Wilton Castle (Herefordshire)

Wilton Castle ist die Ruine einer normannischen Burg aus dem 12. Jahrhundert, die im Südosten der englischen Grafschaft Herefordshire am River Wye, in der Nähe der Kleinstadt Ross-on-Wye liegt. Die Burg wurde nach der Grundherrschaft benannt, mit der sie verbunden ist. Geschichte Diese Burg in Herefordshire ist größtenteils bis auf Höhe der Zinnen erhalten. Die Longschamps aus Wilton brachten in ihrer Zeit Gerichtsvollzieher der Normandie, Kanzler von England, Sheriffs von Hereford und den Welsh Marches hervor, aber auch Feinde von König Johann Ohneland. Ihnen folgten die Familien De Cantilupe und De Grey nach, die eine Machtbasis in Wales und den Welsh Marches aufbauten. Matilda de Grey, eine geborene De Cantilupe, behauptete 1292 wahrheitswidrig vor Gericht König Eduard I. gegenüber, dass die Burg von ihren Vorfahren der Familie Longchamp in den Tagen von Eduard dem Bekenner (1042–1066) gebaut worden sei. Tatsächlich kann die Burg nicht vor 1154 entstanden sein, und die Baronie beinhaltete nie die Rechte eines Marcher Lords, die Lady Matilda für sich beanspruchte. Die Burg war in erster Linie mit einem Zweig der normannischen Familie De Grey verbunden, den Baronen Grey de Wilton, einer bekannten Dynastie normannischer Marcher Lords in den Welch Marches. Sie besaßen die Burg spätestens ab 1308. Die Familie verlor die Burg, als William Grey von den Franzosen in der Endphase der Verteidigung der Stadt Guînes 1558 gefangen genommen wurde und seine Burg verkaufen musste, um das Lösegeld aufbringen zu können. Die Burg wurde schließlich im englischen Bürgerkrieg zerstört. Einzelnachweise Quellen P. M. Remfry: Wilton Castle, 1066 to 1646. ISBN 1-899376-35-6 R. A.

Wilton Castle

Wilton Castle is a 12th-century Norman castle located in south-eastern Herefordshire, England on the River Wye adjacent to the town of Ross-on-Wye. The castle is named after the manor associated with it. This castle in Herefordshire, still standing mostly to battlement height, remains a monument to its former lords. The Longchamps of Wilton in their time provided Bailiffs of Normandy, Chancellors of England, sheriffs of Hereford and the Welsh Marches and enemies of King John. They were succeeded by the families of De Cantilupe (see Thomas de Cantilupe and links) and De Grey who between them built up a powerbase in Wales and the Marches. Matilda de Grey, née de Cantilupe, declared untruthfully in court in 1292 to King Edward I of England that the castle had been built by her Longchamp ancestors in the days of Edward the Confessor (1042–66). In fact, the castle could not have been built before 1154 and certainly the 'barony' never held the Marcher Lord rights Lady Matilda claimed for it. The castle was primarily associated with a branch of the Norman-descended family of Grey, the Barons Grey of Wilton, a prominent dynasty of Norman Marcher Lords in the Welsh Marches, who held it from 1308 or before. The castle passed from the family when William Grey was captured by the French at the end of the defence of Guînes in 1557, and was forced to sell the castle to raise funds for his ransom. The castle was finally destroyed in the English Civil War by troops led by local Royalist Barnabas Scudamore, a period that saw skirmishes and sieges locally at Goodrich Castle, Ruardyn Castle and Raglan Castle.

Château de Wilton

Le château de Wilton est un château normand du XIIe siècle situé dans le sud-est du Herefordshire, en Angleterre, sur la rivière Wye, à côté de la ville de Ross-on-Wye. Le château doit son nom au manoir qui lui est associé. Histoire Ce château du Herefordshire, est encore debout jusqu'à la hauteur des créneaux. Les Longchamps de Wilton fournissent en leur temps des baillis de Normandie, des chanceliers d'Angleterre, des shérifs de Hereford et des marches galloises et des ennemis du roi Jean. Ils sont remplacés par les familles De Cantilupe et De Grey qui, à eux deux, construisent une base de pouvoir au Pays de Galles et dans les Marches. Matilda de Grey, née de Cantilupe, déclare faussement devant le tribunal en 1292 au roi Édouard Ier d'Angleterre que le château a été construit par ses ancêtres Longchamp à l'époque d'Édouard le Confesseur (1042-1066). En fait, le château n'aurait pas pu être construit avant 1154 et la « baronnie » n'a certainement jamais détenu les droits que Lady Mathilde revendique pour lui. Le château est principalement associé à une branche de la famille d'origine normande de Grey, les barons Grey de Wilton, une importante dynastie de seigneurs normands dans les Marches galloises, qui le détiennent à partir de 1308 ou avant. Le château passe aux mains de la famille lorsque William Grey est capturé par les Français à la fin de la défense de Guînes en 1557, et est contraint de vendre le château pour réunir des fonds pour sa rançon. Le château est finalement détruit pendant la guerre civile anglaise par les troupes dirigées par le royaliste local Barnabas Scudamore, une période qui voit des escarmouches et des sièges localement au château de Goodrich, au château de Ruardyn et au Château de Raglan.

Замок Уилтон

Замок Уилтон (англ. Wilton Castle) — руины средневекового нормандского замка рядом на реке Уай с городом Росс-он-Уай, графство Херефордшир, Англия. Назван в честь манора. Лоншаны из Уилтона в своё время были бейлифами Нормандии, канцлерами Англии, шерифами Херефорда и Валлийской марки и врагами короля Иоанна. Им на смену пришли де Кантело (см. Джордж де Контело) и де Греи (см. Аншетиль де Грей). В 1292 году Матильда де Грей (урожд. де Контело), жена Реджинальда Грея, 1-го барона Грей из Уилтона, при дворе солгала королю Англии Эдуарду I, что замок был построен её предками Лоншанами во времена Эдуарда Исповедника (1042—1066). В действительности, замок не мог быть построен до 1154 года, и, конечно же, бароны никогда не обладали правами лорда Марки, на которые претендовала леди Матильда. Замок в первую очередь связан с ветвью нормандской семьи Грей, баронами Грей из Уилтона, которые владели замком с 1308 года или даже раньше. В 1557 году Уильям Грей, 13-й барон Грей из Уилтона был захвачен французами в Гине и был вынужден продать замок, чтобы собрать средства для выкупа. Замок был окончательно разрушен во время гражданской войны в Англии, когда происходили военные действия в замках Гудрич, Руардин и Раглан.

Wilton Windmill

The Wilton Windmill is a five-floor brick tower mill, standing on a chalk ridge between the villages of Wilton and Great Bedwyn in the southern English county of Wiltshire. History The mill was built in 1821 because the construction of the Kennet and Avon Canal had included the canalisation of the River Bedwyn which had previously powered several water mills in the area. The windmill was in use for a century, continuing into the 1920s, but fell into disuse, probably as the result of competition from large steam roller mills. In the 1960s it was added to the list of buildings of architectural or historical merit as Grade II*. In 1971 it was bought by Wiltshire County Council and leased to the Wiltshire Historic Buildings Trust, which early in 1972 began to restore it to working condition. By the end of the summer of 1976 the windmill was once again making flour. It is now owned by Wiltshire Council and managed by the Wilton Windmill Society, formed in 1976 and operated entirely by volunteers. In the 1980s the mill was in financial difficulties, which led to the Society forming a cricket XI, the Wilton Millers' Cricket Team, to raise funds by playing sponsored matches, and in 2011 this was still in existence, although no longer needed for fundraising. Flour, made from locally grown wheat, is still produced at the mill and can be bought on site and in local shops. Sails As when it was first constructed, the mill has a fantail, which causes the cap bearing the sails to turn to make best use of the available wind. Of the four sails, two are of canvas and two are more complicated "patent sails", each consisting of twenty-two sections which can be angled.

Wimbledon Studios

Wimbledon Film & Television Studios is an English film and television production company and facilities provider, located in Colliers Wood, between Mitcham and Wimbledon in south London. History Wimbledon Studios was established as the Merton Studios. The studios were previously a wine-distribution warehouse, which was acquired by Thames Television as a replacement for their Barlby Road base in North Kensington in the early 1990s. The studios were also used for the Channel 5 soap opera Family Affairs, which was produced by Thames and had moved from a site in Hayes. An exterior street set was built for the programme, which has also since been used by other productions and is available for hire. Thames – which later became Talkback Thames – stayed at the studios until 2010 when The Bill, by then the only show produced there, ended. After the cancellation of The Bill by ITV, Talkback Thames's owners, FremantleMedia, sold the studios. Panther Securities Plc purchased the site for £4.75 million in September 2010 and set up Wimbledon Film & Television Studios in October 2010, to provide a new production facility to the film and television industry. The facility has three studios: two large studios of approximately 8,000 square feet (740 m2) and one 5,000-square-foot studio. In August 2014, it was announced that Wimbledon Studios had entered administration with several employees being made redundant as a result. Marjan TV network currently holds the lease on the building Enquiries for studio hire are handled by The Location Collective.
