St Mary Church, Appleton, England

Sat, 12 Jun 2010 16:17:26 -0400

by: vicros

Description}: "This beautiful ruined church sits above the road not far from the village of West Newton, near to the heart of the Sandringham estate. There was once a village, but it has completely gone, although it is said you can make out where the streets and houses were in the field to the north-east of the church after a dusting of light snow. St Mary was a round-towered church, and it was a big, fat handsome tower, constructed of carstone and flint. The tower arch appears Norman, but the carstone banding of the tower suggests that it was early, possibly even pre-Conquest. An even stronger suggestion comes from the bell openings - like a gap-toothed smile now, but surely these were once triangular headed windows? If so, then this tower was certainly Saxon, possibly as early as 1000. The ruins of the tiny church against it show that this part of the building was much more recent, probably by about 300 years, presumably replacing a Norman church."

View from the Gwydir Castle

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 06:25:02 -0400

by: vicros

Description}: Castle was built by Howell Coetmore, who fought under the Black Prince as commander of longbowmen at the battle of Poitiers in 1356. Following the Wars of the Roses the castle was rebuilt in around 1490 by Meredith, founder of the Wynn dynasty and a leading supporter of King Henry VII. Originally a fortified house, Gwydir acquired additions in the 1540's (incorporating reused gothic building material from nearby Maenan Abbey), and was given a fine Elizabethan porch and gardens in the 1590's. Further additions were made in 1828 to designs by Sir Charles Barry, architect of the Houses of Parliament.

Harlech Castle

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 05:54:56 -0400

by: vicros

Description}: Harlech was begun during King Edward I's second campaign in north Wales. It was part of an "iron ring" of castles surrounding the coastal fringes of Snowdonia, eventually stretching from Flint around to Aberystwyth; a ring intended to prevent the region from ever again becoming a focal point of insurrection and a last bastion of resistance. Following the fall of the Welsh stronghold of Castell y Bere, King Edward's forces arrived at Harlech in April, 1283, and building work began almost immediately. Over the next six years an army of masons, quarriers, laborers and other craftsmen were busily engaged in construction. In 1286, with the work at its height, nearly 950 men were employed under the superintendence of Master James. The final result was a perfectly concentric castle, where one line of defenses is enclosed by another. Unfortunately, the outer wall is ruinous today and fails to convey the true 13th-century effect.
