Castelo Dore

Castle Dore — ou Castle Dôr — é um forte de colina (ringfort [en]) da Idade do Ferro próximo a Golant [en], na Cornualha, Reino Unido. Provavelmente foi ocupado do século V ou IV a.C. até o século I a.C. Consiste em dois fossos que circundam uma área circular com 79 metros de diâmetro. Escavado na década de 1930, é um dos fortes de colina da Idade do Ferro mais intensamente investigados na Cornualha. Descrição e história O perímetro do Castle Dore consiste em dois fossos (bivalado). O fosso interno é circular, medindo 79 metros de diâmetro internamente, e o fosso externo o contornava em arco do norte ao sudeste antes de se alargar a nordeste para formar uma entrada. Os baluartes (aterros logo dentro do fosso) foram erguidos mais tarde na história do forte – de 1,8 a 2,5 metros – o layout permaneceu praticamente o mesmo, exceto pela entrada, que se tornou mais complexa. O arqueólogo Ralegh Radford [en] liderou escavações no Castle Dore em 1936 e 37. Cinco décadas depois, o trabalho ainda representava a investigação mais intensiva de um forte de colina na Cornualha. Na época do trabalho de Radford, os arqueólogos tendiam a se concentrar nas defesas ao examinar fortes de colina; Radford, no entanto, investigou o interior e encontrou covas de poste pertencentes a cabanas de pelo menos duas fases distintas de ocupação. A interpretação inicial de Radford foi que o forte foi reocupado nos séculos V e VI d.C.; no entanto, uma reinterpretação posterior, baseada em um maior entendimento da arqueologia pós-romana, concluiu que a ocupação no Castle Dore foi restrita à Idade do Ferro. O uso da datação por radiocarbono em outros sítios levou a uma maior compreensão dos contextos nos quais a cerâmica da Idade do Ferro era encontrada. A datação da primeira fase de atividade no Castle Dore foi revisada do século II a.C. para os séculos V ou IV a.C. Durante a Guerra Civil Inglesa, a derrota final do exército de Essex [en] foi testemunhada no local. Em 31 de agosto de 1644, ao tentar uma retirada de Lostwithiel [en] para Fowey [en], Essex foi forçado a posicionar seu trem de bagagem e canhões restantes dentro do forte. Pouco antes do anoitecer, um regimento se dissolveu em desordem, sinalizando rendição iminente ou morte. Ao amanhecer, ficou claro que seus soldados desmoralizados não podiam ser confiados e Essex optou por fugir. Lenda Na tradição, Castle Dore é a sede do lendário Rei Marcos da Alta Idade Média e aparece como tal no filme de 2006, Tristão e Isolda. Esta associação deriva de um pilar de granito do século VI com inscrições encontrado perto do Castle Dore e conhecido como a Pedra de Tristão (este pilar foi removido e reerguido a cerca de 2 milhas de distância.).

Castle Head, Grange-over-Sands

Castle Head is a country house surrounded by 20 acres (81,000 m2) of grounds near to the seaside resort of Grange-over-Sands in Cumbria, England. It is run by Field Studies Council, and is a Grade II listed building. History The house was built in the Georgian style for John Wilkinson, an industrialist, in 1778 (1778). He was buried in the garden at Castle Head in 1808 before being re-interred in the church in 1828. The house was then acquired by Robert Wright, a solicitor, but lay empty under his ownership for some 30 years, before being bought in 1863 by Edward Mucklow, a Manchester businessman. The house went on to serve as St Mary's Missionary College, a seminary owned by the Holy Ghost Fathers, from the early 20th century until it closed in the late 1970s. Students who trained there included, briefly, Sir Gerry Robinson, the industrialist. Since the mid-1970s the house has been a Field Studies Centre, from 1997 managed by the Field Studies Council who offer residential and non residential fieldwork for schools, colleges and universities and holiday accommodation. In September 2009 a Life Science Centre was also established at the house. References External links Castle Head Field Centre

The Castle, Halton

The Castle, formerly known as The Castle Hotel, is a public house and former Georgian courthouse on Halton Hill in Halton, Runcorn, Cheshire, England. Its side walls are continuous with the curtain walls of the ruins of Halton Castle. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. History The building was originally a courthouse. The court at Halton had been held in the gatehouse of the castle. However, by 1737 its structure had deteriorated so badly that it was decided to build a new courthouse on the site of the gatehouse, using some of the stones from the previous building. The courtroom was on the first floor of the building and prisoners were held in cells in the basement. Architecture The courthouse is constructed in red sandstone and it has a slate hipped roof. It has two storeys and seven bays; the lateral two bays project forward on each side. An outside staircase leads up to the first-floor door to the courtroom. Over its door are the Royal court of arms. Inside the courtroom is a marble tablet containing an inscription commemorating the completion of its building.

Castle House (Essex)

Castle House ist ein Landhaus im Dorf Dedham in der englischen Grafschaft Essex. Von 1919 bis zu seinem Tod 1959 lebte dort der Maler Sir Alfred Munnings. Architektonisch enthält Castle House eine Mischung aus Elementen des Tudorstils und des georgianischen Stils. Kurz nach Munnings’ Tod gründete seine Witwe 1962 The Violet Munnings Trust Fund zu Gründung und Betrieb eines Kunstmuseums in Castle House. Dies geschah im Einklang mit Munnings’ Wunsch, seine Bilder und sein Anwesen dem Staat zu überlassen. 1965 wurde der Castle House Trust gegründet und erhielt das Haus selbst, das umgebende Land, alle Gemälde von Sir Alfred Munnings, die sich noch im Besitz von Lady Munnings befanden, sowie einen Geldbetrag und Wertpapiere, um so die Basis eines Museums für die Werke des Künstlers zu bilden. Sir Alfred Munnings Art Museum Das heute in Castle House untergebrachte Museum ist an bestimmten Tagen von Ostersonntag bis zum ersten Sonntag im Oktober öffentlich zugänglich. Das originale Vermächtnis an den Trust bildete die Basis für die größte Sammlung von Sir Alfred Munnings’ Werken weltweit. Durch den Erhalt Munnings’ originaler Möbel und Artefakte seines ehemaligen Wohnhauses gibt das Museum Einblick in das Leben des Künstlers, ebenso wie durch die Werke aus seiner gesamten Lebenszeit. Der Trust hat seither weitere Gemälde von Munnings aufgekauft. Die Ausstellungen wechseln von Zeit zu Zeit, weil das Museum sowohl Gemälde als Leihgaben hat als auch welche an andere Museen und Ausstellungen ausleiht. Die Räume, in denen Munnings einige seiner bekanntesten Werke schuf, sind originalgetreu erhalten und öffentlich zugänglich. Einzelnachweise
Castle House, Dedham

Castle House in Dedham, Essex, England, was the home of Sir Alfred Munnings from 1919 till his death in 1959. Architecturally the building contains a mixture of Tudor and Georgian elements. Shortly after his death his widow established The Violet Munnings Trust Fund in 1962 to establish and run an Art Museum in Castle House, in accordance with Munnings' wish that his pictures and estate be left to the nation. In 1965 Castle House Trust was formed whereby the house itself, surrounding land, all of Munnings' paintings still in the possession of Lady Munnings, and further amounts of money and investments were made over to the Trust to form the basis of a museum of his works. Sir Alfred Munnings Art Museum The Museum now housed at Castle House is currently open to the public 2pm-5pm Wednesday to Sunday (+ Bank Holiday Mondays) from 1 April until 31 October. The original bequest to the trust formed the basis of the largest collection of Sir Alfred's works to be found worldwide. The Museum is personalised through the retention of the Munnings' original furniture and artefacts in his old home, it also contains examples from his full life span as an artist. The trust has purchased further paintings by Munnings since the original bequest. The display in the Museum varies over time as paintings are both loaned to the trust and lent to other exhibitions. The studios where some of Munnings' most famous works were painted are preserved and open to the public. In 2018 it housed an exhibition of Sir Alfred Munnings' paintings from the Canadian War Museum for the first time.

Castle House (Somerset)

Castle House ist ein Landhaus in Bridgwater in der englischen Grafschaft Somerset. Es wurde 1851 für William Ackerman errichtet. Der größte Teil des Gebäudes wurde aus Ziegeln gebaut, aber es handelt sich um eines der ersten Gebäude in der Welt, für die in hohem Maße Portlandzement zur Herstellung vorgefertigter Betonteile verwendet wurde. English Heritage hat es als historisches Gebäudes II*. Grades gelistet. Das Gebäude enthält viele Ornamente und manche Strukturen aus Beton, die „eine innovative Interpretation traditionellen Maurerhandwerks in Beton“ darstellen. Castle House war einer der Finalisten in der zweiten Staffel der BBC-Fernsehserie Restoration im Jahre 2004 und wurde von Freunden von Joe Strummer unterstützt. Es ist im Heritage-at-Risk-Register von English Heritage gelistet und English Heritage organisierte auch Gelder für die Restaurierung des Hauses. 2012 stiftete die NNB Generation Company (Tochterfirma der Électricité de France) £ 300.000 als Teil der Gelder, die sie an die örtliche Kommune für die Entwicklung des Atomkraftwerks Hinkley Point C zahlte, an den SAVE Trust für die Restaurierung von Castle House. Es ist geplant, das Gebäude als Treffpunkt für am Bridgwater Carnival beteiligte Vereine und Organisationen zu nutzen, sobald es renoviert ist. Einzelnachweise
Castle House, Bridgwater

Castle House is a house in Bridgwater, Somerset, England. Castle House is associated with two important Sedgemoor families, the Boards and the Ackermans; John Board (1802-1861) who extended his family's brick company into cement in 1844, and his grandson William Ackerman who joined the company in 1871 and is credited with the first ‘true’ Portland cement.’ Built in 1851 to resemble a Tudor gatehouse, the construction uses panels of prefabricated concrete, with significant further usage of concrete throughout the building. Building The house was built in 1851 for William Ackerman. Much of the building is made of brick but it was one of the first buildings to make extensive use of Portland cement for pre-cast concrete. The house is two storeys high and designed to look like an ornate Tudor gatehouse. Bays to the sides of the building form stairwells. The building includes many ornamental, and some structural uses of concrete demonstrating "an innovative interpretation of traditional masonry features in concrete". It was designated as a Grade II* listed building on 16 December 1974. Inside, the building includes more concrete features, such as the staircase, the handrails and the window frames. Renovation Castle House was a finalist in the 2nd BBC television series Restoration in 2004 and was supported by friends of Joe Strummer. It is included in the Heritage at Risk Register produced by English Heritage, and English Heritage provided funding for the restoration project. In 2012 a grant of £300,000 was made by NNB Generation Company (part of Électricité de France) as part of monies paid to the local community for the development of Hinkley Point C nuclear power station to the SAVE Trust for the restoration of Castle House. It was planned to transfer the building to the Bridgwater carnival once restoration was complete. In 2018 the scaffolding was finally removed as restoration of the façade was completed. Planning permission to convert the building into three flats had been obtained. References

Castle Ring

Castle Ring ist eine abgegangene Wallburg aus der Eisenzeit, die hoch oben auf dem Südrand des Cannock Chase im Dorf Cannock Wood in der englischen Grafschaft Staffordshire liegt. Castle Ring soll um das Jahr 50 n. Chr. vom keltischen Stamm der Kornen bewohnt worden sein. Mit Ausnahme der umgebenden Erdwerke sind heute nur noch wenige Überreste sichtbar. Es gibt aber Beweise dafür, dass irgendwann das Land innerhalb dieser Erdwerke unter den Pflug genommen wurde. Man weiß aber nicht, ob dies durch die Kelten oder erst durch mittelalterliche Jäger geschah. Letztere bauten ein Jagdhaus innerhalb des Rings, dessen Überreste heute ebenfalls noch sichtbar sind. Das Gelände liegt nördlich der Kleinstadt Burntwood und in der Nähe des Heart of England Way. Von dort aus kann man gut den Cannock Chase, das Tal des River Trent und die Grafschaft Staffordshire überblicken. Dort liegt auch der höchste Punkt des Cannock Chase mit 242 Meter Seehöhe.

Castle Ring

Castle Ring is an Iron Age hill fort, situated high up on the southern edge of Cannock Chase (The Chase), Staffordshire, England. It is the highest point on The Chase with an elevation of 242 metres (794 ft). It is near the village of Cannock Wood, south of Rugeley and north of Burntwood, adjacent to the Heart of England Way. There are excellent views over The Chase, the Trent Valley and Staffordshire more generally. The public are free to walk around it as there is a path. History Castle Ring is thought to have first been occupied c. 500 BCE by an Ancient British (Celtic) tribe named the Cornovii. It was abandoned c. 43 CE as a consequence of Romans occupying the area. Apart from perimeter earthworks, little remains visible. Parts of the ground in the ring appear to have been ploughed, but there is no consensus as to whether this was carried out in prehistoric times, or in the medieval period, when a hunting lodge was also built in the ring. The remains of this lodge are still visible.
