Ravenswood, Berkshire

Ravenswood is a care village run by Norwood, a Jewish charity supporting adults with learning disabilities, in the English county of Berkshire, part of the civil parish of Wokingham Without, adjoining Crowthorne. The settlement was established in 1953 as a self-contained environment for disabled children. The complex is managed by Norwood and funded by the local authority, and is about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north-west Crowthorne. It stands on the site of Bigshotte Lodge, the home of the Keeper of Bigshotte Rayles, an ancient division of Windsor Forest. It used to be called Hannican's Lodge, after a man called Hankin or Hanykin who was under-keeper in 1607. This became Bigshotte School, which became Ravenswood children's home in 1946. In 1953, four families took over the Ravenswood estate, with the aim of providing residential care and education for their children with learning disabilities. Today, Ravenswood Village provides person centred care and support for almost one hundred adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities through both residential care and supported living services in a community setting.

Ravensworth Castle (North Yorkshire)

Ravensworth Castle ist eine Burgruine aus dem 14. Jahrhundert im Dorf Ravensworth in der englischen Verwaltungseinheit North Yorkshire. English Heritage hat sie als historisches Gebäude I. Grades gelistet. Geschichte Es mag seit der normannischen Eroberung Englands eine Burg in Ravensworth gegeben haben, aber die bis heute erhaltenen Überreste von Ravensworth Castle stammen vom Ende des 14. Jahrhunderts, als die Burg Henry, dem 1. Baron FitzHugh, gehörte. Im Jahre 1391 ließ er 81 Hektar um die Burg einfrieden und schuf so einen Park. Im 16. Jahrhundert begann der Abriss der Burg; die Steine wurden für andere Gebäude in der Gegend genutzt. Am 4. Februar 1969 listete English Heritage Ravensworth Castle und dessen Parkmauer als historische Gebäude I. Grades. Als historische Gebäude I. Grades gelten solche die „von außergewöhnlichem Interesse, manchmal auch als international wichtig angesehen“ sind. Die Burg und die nahegelegenen Erdwerke wurden auch als Scheduled Monument ausgewiesen. Architektur Die Burg ist von einem trockenen Burggraben umgeben. Sie wurde aus Sandstein erbaut und mit Werkstein verkleidet. Heute sind noch ein dreistöckiger Turm, an ein Torhaus angebaut, und verschiedene Mauer- und Turmfragmente erhalten.

Ravensworth Castle (North Yorkshire)

Ravensworth Castle is a ruined 14th-century castle in the village of Ravensworth, North Yorkshire, England. It has been designated a Grade I listed building by English Heritage. History The earliest reference to the castle records a visit from King John in 1201. The remaining parts of Ravensworth Castle date from the late 14th century, when it belonged to Henry, 1st Baron FitzHugh. In 1391 he enclosed 200 acres (81 ha) around the castle, creating a park. The castle was gradually dismantled, starting in the 16th century, and the stone was used for other buildings in the area. Ravensworth Castle and Park Wall were given a Grade I listed building designation by English Heritage on 4 February 1969. The Grade I listing is for buildings "of exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important". The castle and nearby earthworks have been designated a scheduled monument. Architecture The castle is located on the south-east side of Ravensworth. The castle is surrounded by a dry moat. Constructed of sandstone and faced with ashlar, the remaining structure consists of a three-storey tower attached to a gatehouse, with further wall and tower fragments.

Ravensworth Castle (Tyne and Wear)

Ravensworth Castle ist eine Burgruine im Dorf Lamesley in der englischen Grafschaft Tyne and Wear. Sie gilt als Scheduled Monument, und English Heritage hat sie als historisches Gebäude II*. Grades gelistet. Geschichte Zu den früheren Besitzern ab dem 12. Jahrhundert zählten die Familien FitzMarmaduke, Lumley und Gascoigne. 1607 wurde die Burg von Thomas Liddell, einem reichen Kaufmann aus Newcastle-upon-Tyne, gekauft und blieb über 350 Jahre lang im Eigentum der Familie Liddell. Im Jahre 1724 ließ Sir Henry Liddell ein großes Herrenhaus in den Burghof bauen, aber dieses ließ Sir Thomas Liddell 1808 wieder abreißen und durch ein großartiges, von John Nash entworfenes, neugotisches Haus ersetzen. Der Duke of Wellington war dort im Oktober 1827 zu Gast. Die Familie Liddell gab die Burg um 1910 als Sitz auf. Kurze Zeit war sie an eine Mädchenschule verpachtet, verfiel aber langsam. Große Teile wurden um 1952 durch Setzung, die durch den Bergbau verursacht wurde, zerstört. Ein Teil der Steine wurde für die Erweiterung von Hindley Hall genutzt. Die ruinösen Überreste hat English Heritage in das Heritage at Risk Register aufgenommen. Restoration Series Die Burg kam in der BBC-Fernsehserie Restoration vor. Alle 30 Kandidaten der Serie sind auch in einem Buch zusammengefasst, das nach Ende der Serie aufgelegt wurde. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Ravensworth Castle and the Liddells.

Ravensworth Castle, Lamesley

Ravensworth Castle is a ruinous Grade II* listed building and a scheduled monument situated at Lamesley, Tyne and Wear, England. The building has been destroyed and rebuilt a number of times, and was the seat of the Ravensworth barons, the Liddells. History The castle may have started as a solar tower, which could have been added to an existing manor house in circa 1315. Further towers appear to have been added incrementally throughout the course of the 14th century. Early owners included Fitz-Marmaduke, Viscount Lumley and Gascoigne. In 1607 the castle was purchased by Thomas Liddell, a wealthy Newcastle-upon-Tyne merchant. Liddell and his family would hold onto the estate for the following 300 years; much of their fortune would come from coal mining on the land, beginning in the early 17th century. In 1724 Sir Henry Liddell built a substantial mansion within the curtilage of the castle, but this was demolished in 1808 by Sir Thomas Liddell, and replaced by a grand house designed in the Gothic Revival style by architect John Nash. The Duke of Wellington was entertained there in October 1827. Georgiana, Lady Bloomfield, daughter of Sir Thomas, wrote about visiting the castle in 1831, while still in her childhood. The property became a school for girls in the 1920s. Around 1935 the family began mining for coal directly under the house, with demolition of the building starting around the same time. The intention was to use the wreckage to build a model village, but with the interruption of World War II, only three houses were created. The majority of the house had been demolished by 1953. Ravensworth Castle was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1967. It was included on English Heritage's Register of Buildings at Risk in 2002. Restoration series The castle was featured in the BBC's television programme Restoration. All thirty candidates from the series also featured in a book which was produced after the series.

Château de Ravensworth

Le château de Ravensworth est un bâtiment en ruine classé Grade II* situé à Lamesley, Tyne et Wear, en Angleterre. Le bâtiment a été détruit et reconstruit à plusieurs reprises et était le siège des barons de Ravensworth, les Liddell. Histoire Le château aurait pu commencer comme une tour solaire, qui aurait pu être ajoutée à un manoir existant vers 1315. D'autres tours semblent avoir été ajoutées progressivement au cours du XIVe siècle. L'un des premiers propriétaires est Fitz-Marmaduke, le vicomte Lumley et Gascoigne. En 1607, le château est acheté par Thomas Liddell, un riche marchand de Newcastle upon Tyne. Liddell et sa famille conservent le domaine pendant les 300 années suivantes. Une grande partie de leur fortune provient de l'exploitation du charbon sur ces terres, à partir du début du XVIIe siècle. En 1724, Henry Liddell construit un manoir important dans l'enceinte du château, mais celui-ci est démoli en 1808 par Thomas Liddell et remplacé par une grande maison conçue dans le style néo-gothique par l'architecte John Nash. Le duc de Wellington y est reçu en octobre 1827. Georgiana, Lady Bloomfield, fille de Thomas Liddell, écrit sur sa visite au château en 1831, alors qu'elle est encore enfant. Vers 1935, la famille commence à extraire du charbon directement sous la maison, la démolition du bâtiment commençant à peu près au même moment. L'intention est d'utiliser les décombres pour construire un village modèle, mais avec l'interruption de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, seules trois maisons sont créées. La majorité de la maison est démolie en 1953.

Raw Dykes

Raw Dykes (grid reference SK583026) is a Roman earthwork and scheduled monument in Leicester. The monument consists of two parallel banks up to 20 metres apart, with an excavated channel running between them. A stretch 110 metres long survives, but originally the earthwork was at least 550 metres in length. The official entry in the schedule of monuments maintained by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport states that the remains are those of a Roman aqueduct, stating that "the narrow cut within the centre of the ditch represented the main water channel and was designed to increase the flow of water by concentrating it within a constricted space". A publication by Leicester City Council has speculated that the earthwork may have been a canal, rather than a source of clean water, but concluded that the aqueduct-interpretation is "by far the most likely suggestion". Kathleen Kenyon, among others, argued that the level of the aqueduct (following the modern 60-metre contour) was lower than the Roman bath in Leicester, and that Raw Dykes was therefore a failure. However, J.S. Wacher has argued that the Romans were skilled hydraulic engineers, and that it is possible that they pumped water into the town from the Raw Dykes aqueduct. There is evidence that they employed a pump and a storage tank at Leicester's Roman baths in the 4th century. Excavations in 1938 found two Roman pottery sherds from the 1st century AD, indicated that Raw Dykes was constructed during or after this time. The first written reference to the earthwork occurs in the borough of Leicester's accounts from 1322. During the English Civil War, Royalist soldiers used part of the earthwork as an artillery emplacement; it also appears on several 18th- and 19th-century maps. Since the early modern period its length has been greatly shortened by the expansion of Leicester. Members of the public cannot access the site, but a viewing enclosure has been constructed leading off Aylestone Road. References External links "The Raw Dykes Monument (Roman Aqueduct)".

Rawdon House

Rawdon House is a former residence in the High Street of Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, England. It was built as a house in 1622 by Marmaduke Rawdon, and extended in 1879. The Jacobean and Victorian wings of the building are Grade II* listed. In 1898 it became St Monica's Priory, a convent of Augustinian canonesses, a use that lasted to 1969, since when it has been converted for use as offices. Guilielma Maria Penn, wife of William Penn, died in Hoddesdon in 1694, and tradition has it that she was staying then at Rawdon House. History The east wing of the present building was originally built as Hoddesdon House for Marmaduke Rawdon. He was a prominent wine merchant, Master of the London Clothworkers Company, Member of Parliament and friend of King James I, who visited his house from time to time. Although fighting in the Civil War on the Royalist side, the Rawdon family were nevertheless able to hold on to the property throughout the Commonwealth, after which it passed by marriage in 1734 to Richard Plomer. It was subsequently let to a series of tenants, including John Dymoke, the King's Champion. In 1840 the house was bought by the Quaker John Warner, an educational reformer, who rented it to Sarah Stickney Ellis to establish the Rawdon House School for young ladies there, which moved away in 1865. The next owner, Henry Ricardo, commissioned architects Ernest George and Harold Peto to design a north wing to the house, at right angles to the original block, which was completed in 1879. In 1898 the house became St Monica's Priory, run by nuns of the Order of St Augustine. At this point 'the best C17 fittings were taken out' including 'fireplaces now at Rothamsted Manor'. After the priory relocated itself nearby in 1969, the empty building was eventually converted into offices. Nikolaus Pevsner states that this occurred in 1974-5 when it was converted by Rialto Builders. References Jenkins, Howard M.; P., T.; Freame, Thomas; C., G.; Penn, William Benjamin (1898).

Ray Mill Island

Ray Mill Island is an island in the River Thames in England at Boulter's Lock near Maidenhead, Berkshire. It is immediately to the east of Boulter's Island, separated by the former millstream. The island is now a park administered by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. It is named after the Ray family who once had a flour mill here. The mill was constructed in 1726 on the site of a previous mill, and continued to produce flour until the 1920s. Boulter's weir runs from the top end of the island across to the east bank near Taplow. A kayak flume has been built adjacent to the weir on the island. For over 20 years until it was stolen in October 2011, the island housed The Companion, a memorial statue for four local schoolboys who died in a skiing accident. A new version of the statue was unveiled in the original location in July 2012. Statues and Memorials "Vintage Boys" by Lydia Karpinska. "The Companions" by Eunice Goodman.
