St Mary's Church, Pateley Bridge

St Mary's Church is a ruined Anglican church in Pateley Bridge, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. The church stands on high ground in an area known as Church Green, about 0.5 mile east of the town. The first church on the site was built in the 13th century, possibly near the site of the original settlement of Pateley. The oldest part of the current building is the tower, which was erected in 1691. The nave was built in the 18th century. In 1827, the church was closed, and St Cuthbert's, Pateley Bridge was opened nearer the centre of the town. St Mary's Church fell into ruin, but the remains were grade II listed on 6 May 1967. On 15 December 1976 it became a scheduled monument. The church is built of stone, and consists of a nave without a roof, a south porch, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, a plinth, quoins, a mullioned window, three one-light openings, round-arched bell openings, a moulded band, and an embattled parapet with corner pinnacles.

St Michael's Chapel, Torquay

St Michael's Chapel is a small, aisleless, medieval chapel situated on the summit of Chapel Hill, in Torquay, Devon. The structure is considered to date from around the 13th or 14th century. It was Grade II listed on 13 May 1952 and reclassified as a Scheduled Monument on 18 July 2000. Description The chapel is oriented east-west and is constructed of local grey limestone rubble, with red sandstone entrance and window dressings and quoins, and a stone slate roof. The chapel retains much of its medieval fabric. It has a single arched doorway (in the south wall) which is fronted by the remains of a stone porch. The entrance is currently barred by a modern iron grill. The interior retains some original wall plaster, a niche in the south wall which may have been a piscina, and opposing windows in the north and south walls. Two further small windows are set into the west wall. There is also a large window in the east wall. A Bathstone cross erected in the mid 19th century by the Marchioness of Bute stood on the east side of the roof, but this was removed during renovation work. The floor of the chapel retains its natural unhewn bedrock, which shows considerable signs of wear close to the entrance, indicating many years of use. This suggests that an artificial floor was never constructed. History The chapel being situated on a high rocky promontory at some distance from human habitation in medieval times suggests a special foundation. Its floor being composed of unhewn natural bedrock is taken to suggest that the chapel was so sited due to a religious vision being reported, resulting in the sanctity of the bare rock being respected and thus left uncovered. The chapel may have belonged to Torre Abbey, which lies approximately 1.5 km to the south. However, direct supporting evidence for its connection with the abbey only exists for the post-medieval period. The building is labeled as St Marie's Chapel on John Speed's 16th century map of Devon. An earlier, similar dedication to St Mary is also present in records from the 17th century. A guidebook of 1793 reports that 'The Tor Chapel, perched on the summit of the ridge of rocks, once an appendage of the abbey before us and as it has not been desecrated it is sometimes visited by Roman Catholic crews of the ships lying in the bay.' Similarly it is reported in The History of Torquay (published in 1878) by J.T White that 'up to within the last half century, when any foreign vessels arrived in Torquay, the crews of which were Roman Catholic, they invariably paid a visit to St. Michael's Chapel.' Elizabeth Goudge, when she lived in Marldon, Devon, used J.T. White's account as the legendary basis for her 1950 novel Gentian Hill. In her Note to the novel, Goudge says: "This story is a retelling of the legend of St. Michael’s Chapel at Torquay. Built in the thirteenth century, it was in existence until not so many years ago, and until the beginning of the nineteenth century any foreign vessels dropping anchor in Torbay, and possessing Roman Catholic crews, sent them on pilgrimages to the Chapel".

Siward's Howe

Siward's Howe, sometimes written Siwards How and also known as Heslington Hill or Bunny Hill, is a terminal moraine located to the south-east of the city of York. The howe is situated north west of the Morrell Library building of the University of York. The southern side of the howe is part of Alcuin College of the University of York. Its imposing water tower is visible from many parts of the nearby suburbs of Tang Hall and Osbaldwick. Howe, when derived from the Old Norse: haugr, means hill, knoll, or mound and may refer to a tumulus, or barrow. Siward's Howe is named for Siward, Earl of Northumbria, the 11th-century Danish warrior. He was romanticised in the William Shakespeare play, Macbeth. Siward died at York during 1055 and is rumoured to have been buried beneath the tumuli at the wooded summit. References Other sources Aird, William M.

Wor Barrow

Wor Barrow is a Neolithic long barrow on Cranborne Chase, about 1 mile (1.6 km) east of Sixpenny Handley in Dorset, England. It is a scheduled monument. Its excavation by Augustus Pitt Rivers in 1893–1894 has been described as "an important event in the study of British archaeology". Description There are many prehistoric remains on Cranborne Chase from the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age. There are two bowl barrows nearby, and a group of round barrows at Oakley Down to the east: the presence of Wor Barrow may have been influential in their construction. The barrow, aligned north-west to south-east, dates from the Early to Middle Neolithic period, about 3400–2400 BC. It was originally 45 metres (148 ft) long and 23 metres (75 ft) wide; its height was about 3 metres (9.8 ft). A ditch surrounded the barrow, 3–7.5 metres (9.8–24.6 ft) wide and up to 4 metres (13 ft) deep. Excavation Augustus Pitt Rivers, inheritor of the Rushmore Estate, where he was resident from 1880, investigated many prehistoric monuments on his estate. Wor Barrow was totally excavated by Pitt Rivers, the ditch in 1893 and the barrow in 1894; the results were published in detail. In the ditch were found two Early Neolithic burials, stratified pottery from Early to Late Neolithic, and several burials from the Romano-British period. The mound had Romano-British burials in the upper levels; below were the remains of a rectangular timber enclosure, about 27 by 10 metres (89 by 33 ft), with traces of a turf mound covering it. The enclosure had an entrance at the south-east, and within were six male skeletons, three of which were disarticulated. The timber mortuary enclosure, surrounded originally by a rectangular ditch, is regarded as the first phase of construction. In the second phase, the barrow covered the mortuary enclosure, and the earlier ditch was partly destroyed by the ditch of the barrow. The earth from the excavation was deposited in a terraced bank along the south-west side. The intention of Pitt Rivers was that the site should be an amphitheatre "for games or other amusements and exhibitions". Excavations by Pitt Rivers Other sites on Cranborne Chase excavated by Pitt Rivers include the Martin Down Enclosure, Rotherley Down Settlement, South Lodge Camp and Woodcutts Settlement. References
Hobs Moat

Hobs Moat is a ruined 12th-century castle located to the west of Hobs Moat Road and north of Castle Lane in Olton in Solihull, England. The site is designated a scheduled ancient monument, however, only the earthworks remain above the ground level. Etymology The prevailing theory is that the name 'Hobs Moat' is a corruption of 'Odingsells' Moat', so called because the founders of the castle were the de Odingsells, anciently written as 'Hoginsells', family. Other suggestions have been put forward, such as that after the ruin of the castle, the site was a location for the practice of pannage – where pigs ('hogs' corrupted to 'hobs') could be sent to eat acorns. Another, more fanciful theory, suggests that prior to the construction of the castle, the site was locally believed to be home to Hobs – creatures of English folklore derived from the Cofgodas or "cove-gods" of Anglo-Saxon paganism. History The castle is believed to have been constructed as the fortified manor house of Ulverli (today in Solihull) by the de Ogdinsells family. The family were believed to be of Flemish origin, with their heir marrying the grand-daughter and heir of Ralph de Limesy, thereby inheriting the Lordship of the Manor of Ulverli. It is not exactly clear when the castle fell into ruin, but it is believed to have happened in the 14th century. Antiquary Sir William Dugdale would visit the site in 1656, finding only "a large Moat", and was informed by the locals that the castle there had long since been removed. Following the subinfeudation of the manor of Ulverli into the manor of Solihull, the Odingsells had constructed a new purpose-built manor house closer to the new Solihull town centre, called Silhill Hall, at some point in the 13th century. Structure The site has been subject to numerous archaeological inspections, which have uncovered evidence for a collapsed sandstone wall, and suggested a late-13th-century date for its construction – pottery has been found at the site further affirming this date. The remains of the wall had been overlain by the base of a later structure. Excavation, geophysical and field survey were carried out at Hob's moat between 1985 and 1986 and found a number of medieval buildings. In addition a late medieval/early post medieval shed-like structure was found indicative that the site had at one time been used for agriculture after the castle was ruined, however a later survey carried out in October 1997 by RCHME concluded that it was probably a hunting lodge. The castle would have stood on the remaining large rectangular earthwork platform, which is encased by a rampart, a wide ditch and a counterscarp bank. The moat was spring-fed, with the northern boundary of the moat on a spring line. Immediately alongside the north side of Hob's Moat are the earthwork remains of a hollow way which is medieval in origin and is thought to have run westwards to connect Hob's Moat with Castle Lane.

Rampton Castle

Rampton Castle, known locally as Giant's Hill, is the earthwork remains of a motte and bailey castle in Rampton, Cambridgeshire. It is believed that the castle was constructed during The Anarchy by the forces of King Stephen to contain the revolt of Geoffrey de Mandeville. The castle was not completed; construction was probably halted by de Mandeville's death at nearby Burwell Castle in 1144. Sited near to the churchyard of All Saints' Church, the castle is thought to have been built over the eastern end of the medieval village. References

Kirby Muxloe Castle

Kirby Muxloe Castle, historisk også kendt som Kirby Castle, er ruinen af en befæstet herregård i Kirby Muxloe, Leicestershire, England. William, Lord Hastings, påbegyndte arbejdet med borgen i 1480 på stedet hvor en tidligere herregård havde stået. William var en af kong Edvard 4s yndlinge, og han havde fået ekstra magt og rigdom under rosekrigene. Arbejdet fortsatte hurtigt indtil 1483, hvor William blev henrettet af Richard, Hertug af Gloucesters, efter han havde eroret tronen. Hans enke fortsatte kortvarigt projektet efter hans død, men byggeriet stoppede igen og den forblev ufærdig. Dele af Kirby Muxloe Castle var beboet i en periode inden den forfaldt og blev en ruin i 1600-tallet. I 1912 overtog Commissioners of Work driften af stedet og udførte arkæologiske udgravninger. I 2000-tallet drives den af English Heritage og er åben for offentligheden. Det er en listed building af første grad. Se også Liste over borge og slotte i England Referencer Eksterne henvisninger
Kirby Muxloe Castle

Kirby Muxloe Castle, ook wel Kirby Castle genoemd, is een herenhuis in Kirby Muxloe in Leicestershire. Het werd gebouwd in de 15e eeuw. Lord Hastings begon de bouw in 1480 tijdens de Rozenoorlogen en het kasteel was een van de meest bijzondere gebouwen uit deze tijd. In Engeland was het in deze tijd nog niet zo vanzelfsprekend dat een kasteel kanonsgaten had. Dit kasteel heeft ze wel en is daarom een voorloper, de kanonsgaten zijn rond en hebben een verticale opening erboven om door te kijken. In 1483 liet Richard III van Engeland Lord Hastings onthoofden wegens verraad. Het schijnt dat de weduwe van lord Hastings geprobeerd heeft eraan verder te werken, maar het kasteel is nooit helemaal afgebouwd. De meeste delen zijn ruïnes geworden en het kasteel behoort nu tot Engels erfgoed. De afgelopen jaren is het kasteel gerestaureerd en het is nu open voor bezoekers op zaterdagen en zondagen, in juli en augustus. Het kasteel ligt in de plaats Kirby Muxloe, vandaar de naam. Kirby komt niet van het woord “kirk”, wat kerk betekent, maar van “Caeri”. Caeri was een vrouw die rond begin 10e eeuw leefde, zij bouwde een nederzetting die bekendstond als Carbi, later Kirby genoemd. Waar de naam Muxloe vandaan komt is niet duidelijk.

Amphitheatre (London)

The visible remains of an amphitheatre constructed during Roman London lie beneath Guildhall Yard in the City of London. Some of these remains are displayed in situ in a room in the basement of the Guildhall Art Gallery complex. Discovered in 1988, the site is now a scheduled monument. London's first Roman amphitheatre was built in AD 70 from wood, but was renovated in the early 2nd century with tiled entrances and rag-stone walls. The amphitheatre was used for various public events such as gladiator games, entertaining soldiers and the public with animal fighting and public execution of criminals, as well as religious activities. After the ancient Romans left in the early 5th century, the amphitheatre lay derelict for hundreds of years. In the 11th century the area was reoccupied and by the 12th century the first London Guildhall was built next to it, which survives despite the Great Fire of London and The Blitz. Various other buildings were constructed around the site of the amphitheatre, which eventually became the public plaza of Guildhall Yard seen today. The formal entrance to Guildhall Yard included a gatehouse built in the 13th century, sited directly over the southern entrance to the Roman amphitheatre. The church of St Lawrence Jewry, on the south side of Guildhall Yard, is built on an irregular alignment which may have been intended to shadow the elliptical form of the amphitheatre. The Guildhall Art Gallery, on the northern side of the plaza, was completed in 1999, the basement of which provides access to an excavated section of the Roman-era remains. The perimeter of the amphitheatre is marked at surface level on Guildhall Yard by a band of dark stone.

Anfiteatro romano de Londres

Los restos visibles de un anfiteatro construido durante el Londres romano se encuentran debajo de Guildhall Yard en la City de Londres. Algunos de estos restos se exhiben in situ en una habitación en el sótano del complejo de la Galería de Arte Guildhall. Descubierto en 1988, el sitio es ahora un monumento programado . Historia El primer anfiteatro romano de Londres se construyó en el año 70 d. C. con madera, pero se renovó a principios del siglo II con entradas de azulejos y paredes de piedra irregular. El anfiteatro se utilizó para varios eventos públicos, como juegos de gladiadores, entretener a los soldados y al público con peleas de animales y ejecución pública de criminales, así como actividades religiosas. Después de que los antiguos romanos se fueran en el siglo IV, el anfiteatro permaneció abandonado durante cientos de años. En el siglo XI se volvió a ocupar la zona y en el siglo XII se construyó junto a ella el primer London Guildhall, que sobrevive a pesar del Gran Incendio de Londres y de los bombardeos nazi.​ Se construyeron varios otros edificios alrededor del sitio del anfiteatro, que eventuálmente se convirtió en la plaza pública de Guildhall Yard que se ve hoy. La entrada formal a Guildhall Yard incluía una puerta de entrada construida en el siglo XIII, ubicada directamente sobre la entrada sur del anfiteatro romano. La iglesia de St Lawrence Jewry, en el lado sur de Guildhall Yard, está construida sobre una alineación irregular que puede haber tenido la intención de ensombrecer la forma elíptica del anfiteatro.​ La Galería de Arte Guildhall, en el lado norte de la plaza, se completó en 1999, cuyo sótano brinda acceso a una sección excavada de los restos de la época romana.​ El perímetro del anfiteatro está marcado al nivel de la superficie en Guildhall Yard por una banda de piedra oscura.​ Véase también Anfiteatro romano de Chester Referencias Enlaces externos Anfiteatro romano de Londres Archivado el 20 de noviembre de 2021 en Wayback Machine.

Amphithéâtre de Londres

L'amphithéâtre de Londres est un monument de spectacle romain situé dans le centre historique de la ville, à l’emplacement de la Guildhall Art Gallery. Découvert en 1988, le site est maintenant classé. Historique Le premier amphithéâtre londonien a été construit en bois en 70 apr. J.-C. Il est rénové au début du IIe siècle avec des entrées carrelées et des murs en pierre. L’édifice est progressivement abandonné a partir du IVe siècle. La zone est réoccupée à partir du XIe siècle, et le premier Guildhall est construit à cet emplacement au XIIe siècle. Son entrée officielle comprenait une maison de garde construite au XIIIe siècle, directement au dessus de l’entrée sud de amphithéâtre. L'église St Lawrence Jewry, sur le côté sud de Guildhall, est construite sur un alignement irrégulier qui pourrait avoir été destiné à éclipser la forme elliptique de l'amphithéâtre. La Guildhall Art Gallery, située sur le côté nord de la place, a été achevée en 1999, et son sous-sol donne accès à une section fouillée des vestiges de l’amphithéâtre. L’emplacement de l’édifice est marqué au niveau de la surface par une bande de pierre noires.

L'anfiteatro era utilizzato per vari eventi pubblici come i giochi di gladiatori, per intrattenere i soldati e il pubblico con combattimenti di animali ed esecuzioni pubbliche di criminali, nonché attività religiose. Dopo che i Romani lasciarono la Britannia nel IV secolo, l'anfiteatro rimase abbandonato per centinaia di anni. Nell'XI secolo l'area fu rioccupata e nel XII secolo fu costruita accanto ad essa la prima Guildhall di Londra che è sopravvissuta al Grande incendio del 1666 e ai bombardamenti della seconda guerra mondiale.
