Greyfriars, Dunwich

Greyfriars, Dunwich was a Franciscan friary in Dunwich in the English county of Suffolk. The friary was founded before 1277 by Richard FitzJohn and his wife Alice and dissolved in 1538. The original site, which had 20 friars in 1277 when it first appears in records, was threatened by coastal erosion and the friary was moved inland in 1289. Many of the buildings are believed to have been destroyed on dissolution, with the remains used as a house, a town hall and a jail at various times. Modern remains consist of a precinct wall, two gatehouses and some two-storey walls believed to be the remains of a cloister building, possibly a refectory or infirmary building. The site was partly excavated in the 1930s and 1990s, with geophysical surveys being carried out on the site. The site was surveyed in 2011 as part of a dig by archaeological television programme Time Team. A geophysical survey using ground-penetrating radar confirmed a range of wall features and other anomalies in the precinct and trenches uncovered carved medieval stonework and medieval window glass fragments. Geophysical surveys suggest that the friary church may have been up to 60 metres in length. Some restoration work was carried out in 2008, including the strengthening of some buildings and repair of collapsed section of the precinct wall. The site was then placed on the Heritage at Risk Register, leading to a £250,000 restoration project in 2012 by English Heritage and Suffolk County Council. The management of the site was taken over by a local voluntary group, the Dunwich Greyfriars Trust, in October 2013. The transfer occurred after budget cuts by the county council meant that the running costs would no longer be met by the council. The remains are classified as a Grade II* listed building and most of the site as a Scheduled Monument. See also List of monastic houses in Suffolk References External links Dunwich Greyfriars Trust
Grey Court School

Grey Court School is a mixed-sex high school academy in Ham, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. In 2014, a new sixth form centre opened for Grey Court's founding sixth form students.

History The school was opened in 1956 to provide education for the children of the newly constructed estate. The school was built in the grounds of the Georgian Grey Court House from which it took its name. The house itself was renamed Newman House after Cardinal Newman, who lived there as a child in the early 19th century. In 2013, and again in 2018, the school was rated outstanding by Ofsted, having previously been satisfactory. The sixth form was included in Ofsted's 2018 inspection.

Steinkreis Grey Wethers

Der doppelte Steinkreis Grey Wethers (deutsch „Graue Widder“) stammt vermutlich aus der Bronzezeit und liegt westlich des Fernworthy Forest, am Fuße des Sittaford Tor, im Dartmoor, in Devon in England. Die beiden Steinkreise liegen im Abstand von 4,5 m auf einem Hügel zwischen den Tälern des „North Teign River“ im Norden und des „East Dart River“ im Süden. Der nördliche Kreis aus 20 Granitplatten hat etwa 32 m Durchmesser. Der südliche Kreis hat 29 Steine und ist mit 33 m Durchmesser etwas größer. Im Jahre 1879 lagen die ermittelten Durchmesser bei 31,6 m (Norden) und 35,5 m (Süden). Der Unterschied könnte ein Messfehler sein oder auf die Restaurierung im Jahr 1909 zurückzuführen sein. Zwischen 1879 und 1909 wurde in den Kreisen eine dicke Schicht Holzkohle gefunden, die ähnlich auch im ausgegrabenen Steinkreis von Fernworthy gefunden wurde, der nur 1,8 km entfernt im Nordosten liegt. Ein 1907 entstandenes Foto von Fernworthy zeigt eine gewisse Entsprechung zu Grey Wethers, aber während die Steine von Fernworthy in Größe und Form stark variieren, sind sie bei Grey Wethers gleichmäßiger und liegen in der Höhe alle zwischen 1,0 und 1,4 m. Die Frage, warum es hier, eng benachbart, zwei Kreise gibt, muss unbeantwortet bleiben. Analogien dazu finden sich vor allem bei den tangierenden Steinkreisen in Nordirland. In der Nähe liegen der Steinkreis von Fernworthy und der Steinkreis von Sittaford Tor. Literatur Aubrey Burl: A Guide to the Stone Circles of Britain, Ireland and Brittany. London 2005.

Grey Wethers

Grey Wethers consists of a pair of prehistoric stone circles, situated on grassy plateau to the north of Postbridge, Dartmoor, in the United Kingdom. Description The circles are each approximately 33 m (108 ft) in diameter, and less than five metres apart. Their centre points are aligned almost exactly north to south. The northern circle has 20 stones remaining, while the southern has 29 – all of a relatively consistent size, mostly between 1.2 and 1.4 m (3.9 and 4.6 ft) in height. An excavation was carried out in 1898 and a number of charcoal fragments were discovered within the circles. The circles were restored and many fallen stones re-erected in 1909. Folklore As with many ancient Dartmoor landmarks, Grey Wethers is the subject of local folklore, explaining the origin of the name ('wether' is an Old English word meaning sheep). One story tells of a farmer who had recently moved to Dartmoor and was foolish enough to criticise the sheep on sale at Tavistock Market. He stopped for a drink at the Warren House Inn, and helped by several pints of cider, the locals persuaded him that there was an excellent flock of high quality sheep nearby, which he would be welcome to buy. They walked off in search of them, and through the mist the farmer saw what he took to be a fine flock. He agreed to the sale, and returned to the site the following morning to find that what he had taken to be sheep were actually the stones of Grey Wethers.

Greyfriars (Canterbury)

Greyfriars war die erste Niederlassung des jungen Franziskanerordens in England. Die ersten Franziskaner erreichten England im Jahr 1224, noch zu Lebzeiten ihres Ordensgründers Franz von Assisi. Geschichte Am 10. September 1224 erreichten neun Mönche unter der Führung von Agnellus von Pisa Dover. Sie reisten von dort nach Canterbury weiter, wo sie von Benediktinermönchen empfangen wurden. Vier von ihnen reisten weiter nach London, während die anderen bei den Armen Priestern untergebracht wurden. Alexander von Gloucester, der Leiter des Eastbridge Hospitals in Canterbury, war ein Anhänger dieser Bruderschaft und erlaubte Agnellus und seinen Brüdern auf einem Teil des Krankenhausgartens ihre Behausungen zu errichten. Neben den Hütte gab es ein kleines hölzernes Oratorium. Im Jahre 1267 kam durch John Digge, einen wohlhabender Bürger und Stadtrat von Canterbury, weitere Ländereien hinzu, so dass mit dem Bau eines dauerhaften Klosterkomplexes begonnen wurde. Die Steinbauten boten rund 35 Brüdern Platz und es wurde ein Kirchengebäude errichtet, das 1325 geweiht wurde. Die Predigten der Brüder waren gut besucht und viele Bewohner der Stadt wurden auf dem Laienfriedhof begraben. Die Mönche verfügten über eine umfangreiche Bibliothek, von der sich einige erhaltene Bände in der British Library und der Bodleian Library in Oxford befinden. 1538 wurde das Kloster aufgelöst, und der einzige bis heute erhaltene Gebäudeteil ist die Kapelle von Greyfriars, in der seit 2003 Anglikanische Franziskaner beten.

Greyfriars, Winchelsea

Greyfriars is a country estate in Winchelsea, East Sussex, England. It contains a ruined medieval monastery and church and a 19th-century house. History A house for the Order of Friars Minor was established in Winchelsea Old Town by 1242. The friary moved to its current location in 1285, after the order purchased 28 acres (11 ha) from John Bone of Wickham, on the site of the new town. It became an important site as Winchelsea flourished as a port in the Middle Ages, but usage declined after the mid-14th century. It was sold during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538 in a state of disrepair, and was used as a barn for some years afterwards. It was listed as a scheduled monument in 1915, and is one of the best surviving instances of Franciscan architecture in England. The surviving remains include a full-height choir, a portion of the north aisle's east wall, and a section of the south wall. A doorway was added onto the north wall around the 17th century. The friary church's chancel, constructed around 1310–1320, has also partially survived. The country house was built in 1819 by Richard Stileman in a Gothic style. It replaced an earlier lodging house on the same site. The house is on the southern edge of the town, adjacent to the friary. In the late 20th century, ownership passed to East Sussex County Council who used it as a day care centre, before being sold to private hands in 2000. In 2015, it was put on the market for £4.5 million. It was Grade II listed in 1987. Cultural references The house is referred to in a never-finished William Makepeace Thackeray novel as the home of the Weston brothers, a group of highwaymen. References
Greyfriars

Greyfriars es una finca rural en Winchelsea, Sussex Oriental, Inglaterra, Reino Unido. Contiene un monasterio y una iglesia medieval en ruinas, así como una casa del siglo XIX. Historia En 1242 se estableció una casa para la Orden de los Frailes Menores en la antigua ciudad de Winchelsea. El convento se trasladó a su ubicación actual en 1285, después de que la orden comprara 28 acres (11 ha) a John Bone de Wickham, en el sitio de la nueva ciudad.​ Se convirtió en un lugar importante a medida que Winchelsea prosperaba como puerto en la Edad Media, pero su uso disminuyó después de mediados del siglo XIV. Fue vendido durante la disolución de los monasterios en 1538, en un estado de deterioro, y se utilizó como granero durante algunos años después. Fue catalogado como monumento programado en 1915 y es uno de los mejores ejemplos supervivientes de arquitectura franciscana en Inglaterra.​ Los restos que se conservan incluyen un coro de altura completa, una parte del muro este del pasillo norte y una sección del muro sur. Se añadió una puerta en el muro norte alrededor del siglo XVII.​ El presbiterio de la iglesia del convento, construido alrededor de 1310-1320, también ha sobrevivido parcialmente.​ La casa de campo fue construida en 1819 por Richard Stileman en un estilo gótico. Sustituyó a una casa de alojamiento anterior en el mismo sitio.​ La casa se encuentra en el extremo sur de la ciudad, junto al convento. A finales del siglo XX, la propiedad pasó a manos del Consejo del Condado de Sussex Oriental, que la utilizó como centro de día, antes de ser vendida a manos privadas en el año 2000. En 2015, se puso a la venta por 4,5 millones de libras.​ Fue catalogada como edificio de Grado II en 1987.​ Referencias culturales La casa es mencionada en una novela inacabada del célebre escritor William Makepeace Thackeray, uno de los autores más importantes de la literatura victoriana, como el hogar de los hermanos Weston, un grupo de salteadores de caminos que se convirtieron en figuras infames dentro de la narrativa.​ Los hermanos Weston operan desde Greyfriars, aprovechando su ubicación aislada y su aire decadente para planear sus robos y ocultar su botín. Thackeray retrata el edificio con un aura de misterio, evocando una atmósfera propia de los relatos góticos. Véase también Reino de Sussex. Monumento clasificado (Reino Unido).

Greystoke Castle

Greystoke Castle ist ein Schloss im Dorf Greystoke, etwa 8 km westlich von Penrith in der englischen Grafschaft Cumbria. Geschichte 1069, nach der normannischen Eroberung Englands, erhielt der englische Landeigner Ligulf de Greystoke seine Ländereien zurück und ließ darauf einen hölzernen Turm errichten, der von einer Palisade umgeben war. Das erste Steingebäude auf dem Gelände wurde 1129 im Auftrag von Ivo de Greystoke, seinem Enkel, gebaut. Das Gebäude wuchs zu einem großen Peel Tower und im 14. Jahrhundert, nachdem William de Greystoke, 2. Baron Greystoke, eine königliche Erlaubnis zur Befestigung (englisch Licence to Crenellate) erhalten hatte, wurde die Burg weiter vergrößert. 1571 befand sich die Burg im Besitz von Thomas Howard, 4. Duke of Norfolk und Earl Marshal von England, durch seine Heirat in die Familie Dacre, den früheren Besitzern. Die Howards waren Katholiken und Royalisten, und so wurde die Burg im englischen Bürgerkrieg von den Parlamentaristen unter General Lambert 1648 in Schutt und Asche gelegt. 1789 wurde die Burg zum Schloss umgebaut und vergrößert. Im Jahr 1838 und erneut im Jahr 1848 wurde das Schloss nach Plänen von Anthony Salvin in einer Weise umgebaut, dass die älteren Gebäude, wie der Peel Tower, integriert wurden. Das Schlossgelände ließ Charles Howard in einen modernen Bauernhof umgestalten. 1868 fing das Haus Feuer und so verbrannten viele Schätze und Kunstgegenstände. Unter Henry Howard wurde das Schloss erneut komplett neu aufgebaut, wiederum nach Plänen von Anthony Salvin. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden Schloss und Anwesen von der British Army requiriert und als Trainingsgelände für Panzerfahrer genutzt. Im Schloss selbst wurde ein Kriegsgefangenenlager eingerichtet. So wurden sowohl das Schlossgelände als auch das Schloss selbst in dieser Zeit stark beschädigt. Stafford Howard erbte das Anwesen 1950 und ließ es erneut umfassend restaurieren. Heute ist es in den Händen seines Sohnes, Neville Howard. Das Schloss ist nicht öffentlich zugänglich, dient aber als Veranstaltungsort für Firmenfeiern, Managementtrainings im Freien, und Hochzeiten. Weblinks und Quellen Greystoke Castle. Visit Cumbria.

Greystoke Castle

Greystoke Castle is in the village of Greystoke 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) west of Penrith in the county of Cumbria in northern England. (grid reference NY435309). It is owned by the Howard family and is a private residence including a castle and family estate with no public access. Details In 1069, after the Norman Conquest the English landlord Ligulf de Greystoke was re-granted his land and he built a wooden tower surrounded by a pale (or pele). The first stone structure on the site was built in 1129 by Ivo, his grandson. The building grew to become a large pele tower and in the 14th century after William de Greystoke obtained a royal licence to castellate it, the castle was further enlarged. In 1571 the castle was in the ownership of Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk and Earl Marshal of England through his marriage into the Dacre family, who had been the previous owners. The Howards were Catholics and Royalists and as a consequence during the Civil War the castle was laid waste by Parliamentarians under General Lambert in 1648. The castle was enlarged and altered in 1789. Then between 1838 and 1848, the castle was rebuilt to a design by Anthony Salvin, incorporating the older structures including the pele tower, and the estates were developed by Charles Howard into a modern farm. In 1868 the house caught fire and many treasures and works of art were lost. However, the castle was rebuilt under Henry Howard, again by Salvin. During the Second World War, the army requisitioned the castle and estate as a tank drivers' training area. The castle itself became a prisoner of war camp. Consequently, much damage was done to the building and the estate during this period. In 1950 Stafford Howard, the son of Sir Edward Stafford Howard, inherited the estate and began a further restoration period. It is now managed by his son, Neville.

Château de Greystoke

Le château de Greystoke est une demeure historique qui se trouve dans le village de Greystoke à 8 km à l'ouest de Penrith dans le comté de Cumbria dans le nord de l'Angleterre. Histoire En 1069, après la conquête normande, le propriétaire anglais Ligulf de Greystoke se voit réattribuer sa terre et il construit une tour en bois entourée d'un pale (ou pele). La première structure en pierre du site est construite en 1129 par Ivo, son petit-fils. Le bâtiment grandit pour devenir une grande tour pele et au XIV après que William de Greystoke ait obtenu une licence royale pour le créneler, le château est encore agrandi. En 1571, le château appartient à Thomas Howard (4e duc de Norfolk) et Comte-maréchal d'Angleterre par son mariage avec la famille Dacre, les propriétaires précédents. Les Howard sont catholiques et royalistes et, par conséquent, pendant la guerre civile, le château est dévasté par les troupes parlementaires du général Lambert en 1648. Le château est agrandi et remanié en 1789. Puis, entre 1838 et 1848, le château est reconstruit selon une conception d'Anthony Salvin, incorporant les structures plus anciennes, notamment la tour Pele, et les domaines sont transformés par Charles Howard en une ferme moderne. En 1868, la maison prend feu et de nombreux trésors et œuvres d'art sont perdus. Cependant, le château est reconstruit sous Henry Howard, à nouveau par Salvin. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le château et le domaine sont réquisitionnés par l'armée en tant que zone d'entraînement des conducteurs de chars. Le château lui-même devient un camp de prisonniers de guerre. Par conséquent, de nombreux dommages sont causés à la fois au bâtiment et au domaine pendant cette période. En 1950, Stafford Howard, le fils de Stafford Howard, hérite du domaine et entame une nouvelle période de restauration. Il est maintenant géré par son fils, Neville. Le château n'est pas ouvert au public, mais est utilisé comme chambre d'hôtes, lieu d'accueil d'entreprise, formation en gestion de plein air et est autorisé pour les mariages civils.
