Burrow Island

Burrow Island (also known as 'Rat Island' or 'Ratty') is a tidal island in Gosport, United Kingdom. The island overlooks Portsmouth Harbour. At low tide a spit connects it with Priddy's Hard. It has been suggested that the name dates from the 17th century and is derived from being within the borough of Gosport. It has been claimed that King Stephen (1096–1154), built a fortification on the island, but this is unlikely to have been the case. Between 1678 and 1679, a fortification named Fort James was constructed on the island under the direction of Bernard de Gomme. It took the form of a square tower 19 ft tall. The fortification was apparently allowed to decay with George Byng commenting on its poor condition in a letter written in either 1707 or 1708. It appears that a rebuilding to a new design was proposed on 1750 but this never took place. What were by then the ruins of the fort were partially demolished in 1827 and nothing now remains above ground level. Burrow Island is owned by the Ministry of Defence, and public access is not permitted; despite this, at low tide some members of the public have ventured onto Burrow Island. It is a popular spot to go fishing. It is known that some have found unique coloured glass bottles that had been washed up on the island. Burrow Island was once used as a burial ground for convicts; several human skeletons were discovered on the island early in 2014. They are believed to be from the 19th century and are the remains of convicts or prisoners of war who had been buried on the island. Burrow Island is one of 43 (unbridged) tidal islands which can be walked to from the mainland of Great Britain. References

Burrowlee House

Burrowlee House is an English Georgian style building situated at grid reference SK334901 on Broughton Road in the Owlerton district of Sheffield, some 2.5 miles (4 km) north-west of the city centre. It is the oldest building in the Owlerton and Hillsborough area and was one of the first houses constructed wholly from brick in Sheffield. The house is a grade two listed building with two storeys and five bays with a stone balustrade over the three middle bays, there is a date stone over the main door. History A cottage existed on the site in the 16th century and is recorded in the deeds from that period. Burrowlee House was constructed in 1711 by Thomas Steade (1672–1739): the Steades were a family of local landowners who also built the nearby Hillsborough House, which stands just 250 metres to the west. Stead had married Elizabeth Creswick in 1696, whose father was Lord of the Manor of Owlerton. The couple lived in the house upon completion and their initials are still visible in the date stone above the main door. Burrowlee remained a private dwelling until the 1920s, although at some point in time it seems to have been divided into two apartments. The house was then purchased by the Education Department and was used as a clinic and offices. In the 1960s it was closed and boarded up and for a period of time looked like being demolished until Sheffield City Council decided to renovate it. In the early 1980s the Council used the house as a Community Education Centre. Bryan Frisby and Neil Trinder bought Burrowlee from the Council in 1987 on a 99-year lease and ran their business Burrowlee Crafts and Designs from the premises, making and conserving wood furniture. Present day In 2005 planning permission was approved for property developers Blenheim Park Developments to convert the house into new housing. New buildings were added in the same style as the main house to form Burrowlee Park Square, a series of six exclusive houses. References

Burton Agnes Manor House

Das Burton Agnes Manor House ist ein Herrenhaus im Dorf Burton Agnes in der englischen Verwaltungseinheit East Riding of Yorkshire, nur einige Meter von der neueren Burton Agnes Hall entfernt. Es handelt sich dabei um ein heute noch erhaltenes Beispiel eines normannischen Herrenhauses mit einem gut erhaltenen normannischen Untergeschoss. Es wurde in Ziegelmauerwerk aus dem 18. Jahrhundert eingeschlossen. Das Herrenhaus wurde von English Heritage als historisches Gebäude I. Grades gelistet. Es ist öffentlich zugänglich und von April bis Oktober von 11.00 Uhr bis 17.00 Uhr geöffnet. Geschichte Das Herrenhaus wurde von 1170 bis 1180 von Roger de Stuteville errichtet. Haus und Dorf wurden nach seiner Tochter Agnes benannt. Beide gingen 1274 durch Heirat in die Familie Somerville über und dann, etwa 1323, wiederum durch Heirat, in die Familie Griffith. Ein Nachfahre, Sir Walter Griffith, soll das Herrenhaus im 15. Jahrhundert restaurieren und das heute noch erhaltene Dach aufsetzen haben lassen. Im Jahre 1654 fiel das Anwesen von Sir Henry Griffith an dessen Neffen Sir Francis Boynton und befindet sich heute noch im Eigentum der Familie Boynton.

Burton Agnes Manor House

Burton Agnes Manor House is an English Heritage property, located in the village of Burton Agnes, East Riding of Yorkshire, England only a few yards away from the newer Burton Agnes Hall. It is a surviving example of a Norman manor house with a well-preserved Norman undercroft; a hall house that was later encased in 18th-century brickwork. It is now a Grade I listed building. Much of the undercroft is built with local chalk. It is open to the public from 11 am to 5 pm from April to October. History The manor house was built between 1170 and 1180 by Roger de Stuteville, The manor house and village were named after his daughter. Both passed by marriage into the hands of the Somerville family in 1274 and then by marriage to the Griffith family c. 1323. A descendant, Sir Walter Griffith, is believed to have restored the hall and added the present roof in the 15th century. In 1654 the estate passed from Sir Henry Griffith to his nephew Sir Francis Boynton, and still remains in the ownership of the Boynton family. Architecture The house is built of pinkish-brown brick on a chamfered plinth, with dressings in magnesian limestone, quoins, a moulded cornice, and a concealed roof. There are three storeys and fronts of four and two bays. The doorway on the right bay has a chamfered round stone arch, and the windows are sashes with moulded surrounds. Inside, there are remaining Norman features.

Burton Court, Eardisland

Burton Court is a Grade II* listed English country manor house in the Parish of Eardisland, southwest of Leominster, Herefordshire, England. The manor dates to at least the 11th century and the current house to the early 14th and 18th century. It lies along the A44 road, about 1 mile (1.6 km) south of Eardisland in the northern part of the hamlet of Lower Burton. It is now run as a wedding and private hire venue. Burton Court featured in Simon Jenkins's book England's Thousand Best Houses. History The name Burton is believed to be of Saxon origin, derived from Burh and ton, meaning "fortified dwelling place". The manor of Burton is mentioned in the Domesday Book, with the name Beuretune, where it was valued at 2 "hydes". The manor was documented during the reign of Edward III in 1331; Henry of Monmouth, later to become Henry V, possibly stationed his troops there while surveying the movements of Owain Glyndŵr, the last Welshman to hold the title Prince of Wales. The house was home of the St. Owens (until 1427), Downtons (through marriage), Cotes, Crofts, Jervase Smith (d. 1627), Brewsters (mid-late 17th century until 1865), and Clowes (mid 19th and mid-20th centuries). A notable Brewster was Dr. William Brewster (fl.1665), a scholar with a considerable collection of books, now housed in Hereford Cathedral. In 1960, it was bought by Lieutenant Commander Simpson and has been home to the Simpson family since. Architecture and fittings Burke's Guide to Country Houses: Herefordshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire (1978) mentions that the house was partly rebuilt in the 18th century, probably for William Matthews. His grandson, John Matthews, commissioned James Wyatt to construct Belmont House. However, this is confusing, given that the Brewster family were known to have occupied the estate until 1865. Burton Court contains architectural pieces from the Norman, Medieval, Regency and Victorian periods. The hall dates to the early 14th century, but much of the house remaining today was added in the 18th century. Remodeling occurred in 1808, which was followed by restorations in 1865, and also in 1912 when the architect Clough Williams-Ellis added the Tudor Revival front. The house is framed in timber. Exterior brick work has been stuccoed. There is a dovecote with a lantern roof. Windows of note are a two-storey bay and an elliptically shaped one. Additional exterior elements are stone mullioning, Doric pilasters, and a moulded architrave. Inside, there are purlins, an overdoor, and a cantilevered stair. The great hall's dimensions are 35 feet (11 m) long, 24 feet (7.3 m) wide, and 32 feet (9.8 m) in height. A railway room contains a working model railway. There are collections of ship models, natural history items, and European and Oriental costumes and curios. The furnishings are mainly of the Victoria era. Grounds Situated in an elevated position overlooking the Herefordshire countryside, a mile south of the River Arrow, the house was built on the site of an ancient camp. A 72 feet (22 m) deep well is on the property, as well as symmetrical oak trees. References External links Official site
Burton Dassett Hills

Burton Dassett Hills Country Park is a country park in southeastern Warwickshire, England. It was created as a country park in 1971 and is run by Warwickshire County Council. The area comprises a group of ironstone hills, which are named after the village of Burton Dassett which is located in the hills. The hills rise to 211 m (692 ft) above sea level and are situated half a mile east of the M40 motorway. The area was once extensively quarried for ironstone and a short industrial railway – Edge Hill Light Railway – existed for this purpose until the 1920s. Of interest at the site is a 12th-century parish church at the old village of Burton Dassett. Outside the church is a holy well which still provides water. The park is also popular with flyers of kites and radio-controlled gliders. Impressive views across the surrounding countryside can be seen from the hills; towns and other features that are viewable are described by a toposcope. On a clear day, places as far afield as Coventry (more than 20 miles away) can be seen. The park and the church were used as a location in the Tom Selleck 1990 film Three Men and a Little Lady.

Burton Pynsent Monument

The 140 feet (43 m) Burton Pynsent Monument on Troy Hill at Burton Pynsent, within the parish of Curry Rivel, Somerset, England, was built in 1767 and has been designated as a Grade I listed building. Alternative names for the tower, which stands on Troy Hill, a spur of high ground about 700 m north-east of Burton Pynsent House, include the Curry Rivel Column, Pynsent Column, Pynsent Steeple or Cider Monument. The monument, which is clad in Portland stone, was designed by Capability Brown and built by Philip Pear, at a cost of £2,000, for William Pitt as a monument to Sir William Pynsent, of the Pynsent Baronets. There is a legend that Pynsent was grateful to Pitt for opposing a ten shilling tax on a hogshead of cider (1763 Cider Bill), which would have affected his business, so on his death he left his entire estate to Pitt. However, Pynsent signed his will before the Cider Tax was ever proposed. Pitt certainly opposed the tax, but that was because the legislation would have allowed the Revenue men to enter people's homes to check whether cider was being made, and he believed that an Englishman's home is his castle and no-one should enter uninvited. Pitt then used some of the income from the estate (£3000 per annum) to erect the monument to his benefactor. In June 1948 it was reported that a heifer climbed the 172 steps to the top of the monument, but was later returned safely to her hillside pasture. The tower was restored in the 1990s by the John Paul Getty Trust and English Heritage. See also List of Grade I listed buildings in South Somerset 1763 Cider Bill References
Burtonwood services

Burtonwood services is a motorway service station on the M62 in Cheshire, near Warrington in England. History The services originally opened in August 1974 with two sites, one each side of the motorway (the traditional layout of a British service station). The two distinctive conical-roofed buildings, one of which has since been demolished, were designed by the architect Patrick Gwynne. However, in 2008 the westbound side was closed, and traffic wishing to use the services now must use the opposite side, accessed from the roundabout. The former westbound site is now owned by a developer. in the mid-1980s bands travelling between Manchester and Liverpool often stopped at the services and the site became an autograph hunters' hub. Tears for Fears and Yazoo stopped regularly. Around June 1988, it was renamed Welcome Break. Construction Alfred McAlpine was given the £374,716 contract in early September 1972. Forte were always going to have the site. It was planned by the Motorways Group of Trust Houses Forte Catering Limited, headquartered at Newport Pagnell; it was hoped to open in early 1974, but by July 1974, it was planned to open in mid-August 1974. The site first planned by Fortes Service Areas Ltd. It was built on part of the 13 mile South Lancashire Motorway section of M62 from Tar bock to Risley - the 100 acre Croft Interchange. The 27 month £15,920,634 contract had started in September 1971, by Leonard Fairclough and Alfred McAlpine. Thousands of tonnes of peat had to be excavated from Risley Mosslands, and deep stone dams were built. Earthmoving machines had to work on timber rafts, over the peat; the motorway section opened 30 November 1973. Customer service In August 2011 it was rated as two stars by quality assessors at Visit England. The 2019 Motorway Services User Survey found that Burtonwood was in the bottom five motorway services in the UK for customer satisfaction. Westbound site The Westbound site was bought by Marshalls and is being redeveloped for commercial use. The development is to be known as Gemini 8. Tenants so far include a Travelodge motel and a Starbucks Coffee Outlet. Furthermore, a Harvester restaurant has opened. From July 2014 a new pub/restaurant operated by the Marston's Inns and Taverns chain called the Skymaster has opened. The development is accessed from Junction 8 and is located adjacent to Gemini Retail Park. Location The services are located off junction 8 of the M62, access is from the roundabout from all directions. References External links Official website
Burton's Court

Burton's Court (also called Burton Court) is a park in Chelsea, London. It belongs to the Royal Chelsea Hospital which is situated on the southside of Royal Hospital Road, and comprises three tennis courts, a tennis academy and a cricket pitch. Burton Court serves as home ground to the Household Division, thus hosting cricket matches many of which involve Army regiments. History In 1687-88 a public footpath was established through the park after the building of the hospital. In 1761 this footpath closed at night, resulting in an extra half a mile for pedestrians to walk around it. Garden Row was built in 1733 facing Burton's Court and by 1794 had seven houses.

Burway Bridge

Burway Bridge is a bridge in Ludlow, Shropshire, England. It takes the B4361 road across the River Corve. Original bridge The original bridge was built in the mid-20th century to take the new Coronation Avenue across the Corve, relieving the historic Corve Bridge just upstream. Before its construction the A49 trunk road crossed Corve Bridge; its construction diverted that route, but consequently meant the less-major A4117 road crossed the Corve Bridge in order to meet the A49. The opening of the A49 Ludlow by-pass in 1979 removed these A roads from the vicinity, with the former A49 route crossing Burway Bridge re-classified as the B4361, which remains to the present day. Collapse The bridge was demolished on 27 June 2007 following heavy rainfall which caused serious flooding of the River Corve resulting in the collapse of the bridge and a neighbouring house. Rebuilding Undertaken by Shropshire County Council, a temporary Bailey bridge was first opened in August 2007 to partially reopen the B4361. Over the next year, the council's consultants Mouchel designed a permanent bridge and this was constructed by McPhillips (Wellington) Ltd. Constructed to withstand any serious future flooding, the bridge now features a longer span to increase the volume capacity of the River Corve beneath. The new bridge finally opened on 19 January 2009. (The inscription on the bridge reads "Burway Bridge 2008" as that was the year of its construction.) The bridge now carries across the river not only two-way road traffic, but also a lane for car parking, a wide cycling & pedestrian pavement on one side of the carriageway, and a pedestrian pavement on the other side.

Bury Camp

Bury Camp is the site of an Iron Age multivallate hillfort in north-west Wiltshire, England. It occupies a triangular promontory of Colerne Down, in the north of Colerne parish, at the southern edge of the Cotswold Hills between two spurs of a river valley. The enclosed area of approximately 9.2ha is surrounded by a ditch 4m wide and up to 1m deep, and an outer rampart up to 1.5m high on the east and northwestern sides and up to 2m high on the southwestern side, across the neck of the promontory. The contours of the land provide excellent natural defences to the north and east sides. On the southwestern side, where there are no natural defences, there is a further ditch 4m wide and 1m deep and an outer rampart up to 2m high and 3m wide. These are crossed by many causeways, which could be interpreted as an indication that the construction of the monument was never fully completed. The entrance in the middle of the southwestern side is thought to be of modern origin. At the northeastern corner, the inner bank turns inwards to form a funnel-shaped entrance leading to a hollow way running down the steep scarp into the valley below. Another entrance about a quarter of the way along the northwestern side also consists of inward-turning ramparts forming a funnel-shaped entrance. A small enclosure within the camp is visible on aerial photographs. It is circular, 72m in diameter, with a bank and an outer ditch. The site has been a scheduled monument since 1925. Excavations carried out under Denis Grant King, from 1959 onwards, turned over some good examples of Iron Age drystone walling, and found remains of a much earlier structure that existed at the northeast entrance, indicated by drystone revetments within the northern rampart. In the second stage, the entrance was remodelled and widened. At the northwest entrance, four staggered post holes were uncovered as well as a cylindrical cavity 0.66m deep, interpreted as a gate post hole. The building of the hillfort can be dated to about 350 BC, but various Neolithic and Mesolithic flint tools were found, indicating a much earlier use. Flint artifacts including scrapers, cores, and flakes were found within the camp. Rotary and saddle querns were also found, along with a possible axe polishing stone. In 1960, 175 shards of pottery were recovered; all except one were plain coarse ware without a trace of decoration. Among organic remains, only two fragments of human bones were found, whereas between 400 and 500 animal bone fragments were found. This included typical domestic animals such as sheep, goats, cattle, pigs, horses, and dogs. Six specimens were of large birds, probably swans or geese. Deer, fox, rabbit, and vole bones were also found. The relative rarity of anything but domestic animals may suggest that the camp was used for stock-keeping and that it was unlikely that hunting played a large part in the food economy of the camp. Location The site is at grid reference ST818740, to the south of the village of North Wraxall, in the county of Wiltshire. The site has a height of 145m AOD. The Fosse Way Roman road passes close by to the west. See also List of hillforts in England References
