Ringsbury Camp

Ringsbury Camp is an Iron Age hill fort, thought to date from approximately the year 50BC, in the civil parish of Purton in Wiltshire, England. The site is a scheduled monument. Structure Ringsbury is a multivallate fort, as it has a double-banked structure. In all about 3.4 hectares (8.4 acres) are enclosed by the surrounding walls. The inner bank is up to 5m high and is surrounded by a 3m deep ditch; the outer bank is 2m high and there are traces of an outer ditch. The fort stands on the brow of an outcrop of Corallian stone, overlooking Braydon Forest to the west and with excellent views to the south and north; there is less of an incline towards the east. It is believed that to ensure visibility was not impeded the builders cleared all areas, and certainly the land towards the west, from trees. The banks are made from limestone rubble. These are not local rocks, suggesting material was transported to the camp from further afield. The stones from the banks are very light, and are known as 'blood stones'. A reason for the lightness of the rocks was said to be blood soaking into the stones when they were used as missiles during battles; however, nowadays chemical weathering – carbonation – of the limestone is thought to account for their light mass. History Historians have suggested that the fort may not have been used continually, but as an enclosure in times of unrest. Unrest was common in these times: the fort lies on the boundary of two old British kingdoms, and there were two major Celtic invasions in the years around which the fort was constructed. The fort is not part of the larger chain of hill forts along the Ridgeway, such as Barbury Castle, suggesting Ringsbury was an outpost. There are signs of earlier habitation of the site: Neolithic flint tools have been found within the fort. One Iron Age coin was discovered at the site, and is currently displayed in Purton Museum. Andrew Breeze has argued that Ringsbury Camp is the site of the Battle of Mount Badon in the late 5th century or early 6th century. He bases his case on geographical and toponymic evidence, with nearby Braydon being the Badon named by Gildas and the Welsh Annals. Today The site was designated as a scheduled monument in 1925. Several rights of way make the fort accessible. Ringsbury Camp can be reached most easily by walking west through fields from Battlewell and Restrop Road in Purton. The site has a grid reference of SU 075 867. Some local people refer to Ringsbury as 'The Roman Camp', although this does not reflect its earlier Iron Age heritage. Today Ringsbury is in grassland pasture, with the southern and western banks wooded. The centre of the camp, at one time, was ploughed, which may have destroyed any further artefacts waiting to be unearthed. Ringsbury Camp is part of Restrop Farm, a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest. See also List of hill forts in England List of hill forts in Scotland List of hill forts in Wales References

Castello di Ripley

Il castello di Ripley (in inglese: Ripley Castle) è uno storico edificio del villaggio inglese di Ripley, nella contea del North Yorkshire (Inghilterra nord-orientale), costruito nella forma attuale nel 1548 nel luogo in cui sorgeva un maniero medievale e rimodellato negli anni ottanta del XVIII secolo. Fu la residenza della famiglia Ingilby (o Ingleby). L'edificio è classificato come castello di primo grado. Storia La tenuta di Ripley, che comprendeva un maniero medievale, costituiva la dote di Edeline Thwenge, che nel 1309 sposò un membro della famiglia Ingleby/Ingilby, Thomas Ingleby. Nel corso del XV secolo, Sir John Ingleby (1434-1499), che aveva ereditato la tenuta dal padre all'età di cinque anni, fece costruire il corpo di guardia tuttora visibile. L'edificio acquisì la forma attuale a partire dal 1548, grazie alle modifiche apportate da Sir Wiliam Ingleby (1518-1578). Un altro William Ingleby (1546-1618) ospitò nel castello nel 1603 il futuro re Giacomo I d'Inghilterra prima dell'incoronazione di quest'ultimo. Nel 1644, nel corso della guerra civile inglese, un altro William Ingilby, dopo aver combattuto a fianco delle truppe reali a Marston Moor, fuggì nel castello di Ripley inseguito da Oliver Cromwell. Tra il 1783 e il 1786 l'edificio fu ricostruito per volere di Sir John Ingilby (1758-1815), figlio illegittimo del quarto baronetto di Ingilby. Nel corso della ristrutturazione, affidata a William Belwood, fu mantenuto il corpo di guardia originario.. Nel 1817, Sir William Amcotts Ingilby, che aveva ereditato la tenuta due anni prima, realizzò delle serre attorno al castello. Nel 1964, venne casualmente scoperto un cunicolo segreto nel castello. Il castello rimase di proprietà privata fino al 1998. Architettura Esterni Il castello è circondato da un boschi, laghi, da un parco con cervi e da giardini in stile vittoriano., I giardini del castello ospitanto una collezione floreale, la National Hyacinth Colletion. Nei giardini, si trovano varie piante rare e crescono circa 150.000 fiori. Interni Gli interni sono ammobiliati in stile gotico. Tra le principali stanze del castello, figurano l'Oval Drawing Room, con sedie appartenute alla famiglia Chippendale, e la Knights Chamber con decorazioni del XVI secolo, dove, dietro un pannello, si trova il cunicolo segreto scoperto nel 1964. Il castello di Ripley nella cultura di massa Nel 1976, il castello fu una delle location del film della Disney, diretto da Charles Jarrott e con protagonista Alastair Sim, Piccoli ladri di cavalli (Escape from the Dark alias The Littlest Horse Thieves) Nel 2017, il castello di Ripley fu una delle location della miniserie televisiva britannica Gunpowder Note Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su Castello di Ripley Collegamenti esterni (EN) Sito ufficiale, su ripleycastle.co.uk.
Ripley Castle

Ripley Castle är ett engelskt country house som ligger i Ripley i North Yorkshire, Yorkshire och Humber i England (ungefär fem kilometer norr om Harrogate). När Sir Thomas Ingleby gifte sig med arvtagerskan Edeline Thwenge antingen 1308 eller 1309 fick han mottaga Ripley Castle som hemgift. När Sir John Ingleby (1434–1499) senare ärvde Ripley Castle från sin far valde han att bygga till en corps de garde innan han blev munk vid Mount Grace Priory. Sir William Ingleby (1518–1578) i sin tur byggde till tornet på byggnaden 1548. Sir William Ingleby (1546–1618) bjöd in Jakob I av England att stanna i Ripley Castle när denne var på väg till sin kröning 1603. Dock blev Sir William indragen i krutkonspirationen när han tillät konspiratörerna att stanna i hans hem under tiden som de införskaffade hästar. Sir William arresterades och anklagades för landsförräderi, men friades. Ripley Castle genomgick en stor ombyggnation 1783–1786 av William Belwood. När Sir William Amcotts-Ingilby (1783–1854) senare bodde där raserade och byggde han om hela byn Ripley, tillsammans med ett hôtel de ville (kommunhus). Då Amcotts-Ingilby inte hade några direkta arvingar ärvdes Ripley Castle av hans kusin Henry John Ingilby. Än idag äger släkten Ingilby Ripley Castle.

Roundhill Reservoir

Roundhill Reservoir is situated near Leighton Reservoir in North Yorkshire, England. It was constructed by Harrogate Corporation early in the 20th century. Water from the reservoir is fed into Yorkshire Water's grid. Roundhill reservoir is overlooked by a stone tower, Carlesmoor sighting tower, which was used to triangulate the end points of a water tunnel from the reservoir to Harrogate. It is one of several Colsterdale towers. Although not in Nidderdale, the reservoir is within the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. History Roundhill Reservoir was built for Harrogate Corporation. It was completed in 1913, at a cost of £500,000. In 1908, while Roundhill was being constructed, Leeds Corporation began building Leighton Reservoir close by. Both reservoirs impounded the water from Pott Beck: Harrogate was permitted by Parliament to take no more than 4 million gallons per day, the rest going to Leeds. The reservoir later was under the jurisdiction of the Claro Water Board. References

Risley Moss

Risley Moss is an area of peat bog situated near Birchwood in Warrington, England. It is a country park, Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Local Nature Reserve. It covers an area of 210.5 acres (85.2 ha) and is one of the last remaining fragments of the raised bogs that once covered large areas of South Lancashire and North Cheshire. History Natural depressions in the glacial drift left by the ice sheets which covered the Cheshire–Shropshire plain during the last ice age, 10,000–15,000 years ago, filled with water, forming the meres and mosses characteristic of the area today. In some cases, like Risley Moss, peat accumulation filled the depression, allowing colonisation by bog mosses such as the Sphagnum varieties, thus giving rise to the name "moss". Risley Moss is one of only two mosses in Cheshire where the water level has been deliberately raised in an attempt to encourage the regeneration of an active bog surface. The long-term restoration project to re-wet the moss began in 1978 and was completed in 2002. This scheme was undertaken to create a series of scrapes and bunds to retain water and recreate the perfect conditions for bog flora such as cotton grass and sphagnum mosses to re-colonise the bogs. Risley Moss was first mentioned in the Doomsday Book when it was part of the Culcheth Estate. The Moss passed to his daughter Ellen de Risley and remained in her family until 1736 when it was bought by a local landowner. During the Industrial Revolution many of the peat bogs near Manchester were drained however Risley was too wet and remained under water. It was the former site of a large Royal Ordnance Factory. Today, it is managed by Cheshire County Council as a country park and an educational nature reserve. It was designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1986. Risley Moss, together with Astley and Bedford Mosses and Holcroft Moss, is also a European Union designated Special Area of Conservation, known as Manchester Mosses. Features The main feature of Risley Moss is the large peat bog, overlooked by two observation points: a raised platform (previously having a large watchtower) ideal for bird watching, and a smaller lookout (currently obstructed by plant growth). These points have additional information inside relating to bird species and landscape layouts. The Moss also has several smaller huts located inside the forested area for bird watching and nature enthusiasts. Tours across the bog and nature reserve are available from the main information centre and are undertaken by local rangers. In addition to the natural features and landscape, there are several sculptures around the site, usually with a natural theme. Facilities There is a visitor centre, countryside walks, bird hides and picnic benches. Inclusion in national nature reserve The reserve in one of the sites included in the Risley, Holcroft and Chat Moss National Nature Reserve, a national nature reserve created in 2025, consisting of eleven sites of varied lowland peat areas in Greater Manchester and Cheshire.

Yarrow Reservoir

Das Yarrow Reservoir ist ein Stausee östlich von Chorley in Lancashire, England. Er wurde ab 1867 von Thomas Duncan dem Ingenieur der Stadt Liverpool für deren Wasserversorgung gebaut. Der Stausee liegt östlich des südlichen Endes des Anglezarke Reservoirs und des nördlichen Endes des Upper Rivington Reservoirs. Der River Yarrow mündet an der Meeting of the Water genannten Nordostecke in den Stausee und fließt von der Westseite in das Anglezarke Reservoir.

Yarrow Reservoir

Yarrow Reservoir – named after the River Yarrow – is a reservoir in the Rivington chain in Anglezarke, Lancashire, England, and has a storage capacity second to Anglezarke Reservoir. Construction of the reservoir, designed by Liverpool Borough Engineer Thomas Duncan, began in 1867. In 2002, several tons of fish were transported to this reservoir when the Upper Rivington reservoir was completely drained for essential maintenance work. The construction of Yarrow Reservoir was described in Wm. Fergusson Irvine's book A Short History of the Township of Rivington: A suitable site for the embankment having been selected, a trench was excavated on the centre line of the intended work and carried down to the solid rock right across the valley. This was filled with clay deposited in layers of 9 inches, and carefully puddled so as to produce a homogeneous watertight material. This clay wall, having reached the natural surface of the ground, was continued through the embankment, which was also built in thin layers thoroughly rammed and consolidated on both sides of the clay centre. Before commencing the erection of the embankment all peat and unsound material were stripped from the site. The inner or water slopes of the embankment have been built to an angle of 3 to 1, and outer slopes to an angle of 2 to 1. The impermeability of the dam depends upon the wall of puddled clay in the heart of the dam tied into the solid rock at the bottom and sides of the valley. The clay wall has been carried up to a batter on each side of 1 inch to every foot vertical, the thickness at the top being 6 feet. The inner slopes of the bank are protected by 15-inch pitching, consisting of the millstone grit of the neighbourhood, laid on a bed of broken stone. The outer slopes have been soiled and grassed over. The construction of the reservoir meant that a small hamlet called Alance was flooded, centred on the rebuilt Alance Bridge, and a large dwelling was demolished - Turner's Farm - which lives on in current maps only in name as Turner's Embankment.

High Bullough Reservoir

Das High Bullough Reservoir ist ein Stausee östlich von Chorley, in Lancashire, England. Der Stausee wurde 1850 von John Frederic Bateman für die Chorley Waterworks Company gebaut. 1856 wurde der Stausee von der Stadt Liverpool übernommen, als diese die Wasserversorgung von Chorley übernahm. Der Stausee hat einen unbenannten Zufluss an seiner Nordostseite. An seiner Südwestseite ist er mit dem Anglezarke Reservoir verbunden.
High Bullough Reservoir

High Bullough Reservoir is the oldest of all the reservoirs in the Rivington chain, having been authorised by the Chorley Waterworks Act 1846 (9 & 10 Vict. c. cclxxxvii) and completed in 1850. It was built for Chorley Waterworks by the engineer John Frederick Bateman, who had estimated the cost of the project while working for Edwin Chadwick's Towns Improvement Company, and had then acted as Engineer for the project. The outlet consisted of a pipe running through the dam, and supported by two masonry piers where it ran through the central clay puddle. The outlet valve was at the downstream end of the dam, and although this configuration is no longer thought to be good practice, there have been no serious issues with the reservoir throughout its operational life. The earth dam had a maximum height of 39 feet (12 m), was 988 feet (301 m) long and impounded 55 million imperial gallons (250 Ml) of water. Popular with walkers, it forms part of the Anglezarke trail, although it is also accessible from Manor House. It was originally named Chorley Reservoir. There are a number of websites that state that High Bullough Reservoir is no longer used to supply drinking water, but the reservoir was still contained in a list of reservoirs in the Rivington Chain when United Utilities issued an application for a drought permit to reduce compensation flows to the River Yarrow in mid-2018. A huge staircase, made from timber, was created between the reservoir and nearby Manor House. Known as Jacob's Ladder, the remains can be seen on the east side of the water. Bibliography References
