  • Sherborne Castle
    SHERBORNE CASTLE In the early twelfth century, Roger of Caen, Bishop of Salisbury built a castle at Sherborne with a deer park and hunting lodge. When Dorset came under the diocese of Bristol in 1592, Sherborne was leased to Queen Elizabeth who then gave the estate to Sir Walter Raleigh. Unsuccessful in modernising the old castle, Raleigh built a new house across the river in 1594 and laid out a garden between the two buildings. In 1603, Raleigh was arrested on charges of treason and the estate reverted to the Crown. In 1617, Sherborne was sold to Sir John Digby, Ambassador to Spain who enlarged the house; he was created Baron Digby of Sherborne in 1618 and Earl of Bristol in 1622. During the Civil War, the Norman castle was slighted and left in ruins. In 1698, the barony and earldom of Bristol became extinct and Sherborne was inherited by the 1st Earl’s nephew, Robert Digby, 1st Baron Digby of Geashill. It wasn’t until the eighteenth century that 5th Lord Digby’s third son Robert remodelled the garden to the Tudor house. The beginning of the eighteenth century was a time of change. There was a movement away from the formal gardens of William and Mary with their straight canals and topiary towards the appreciation of irregularity within Nature. The 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury wrote in 1699: ‘I shall no longer resist the Passion growing in me for things of a natural kind…Even the rude Rocks, the mossy Caverns, the irregular unwrought Grottos, and broken Falls of Waters, with all the horrid Graces of the Wilderness it-self, as representing Nature more, will be the more engaging, and appear with a Magnificence beyond the formal Mockery of princely Gardens.’ By 1724, George I was on the throne, Alexander Pope had translated the Iliad and Robert Walpole was Prime Minister.

  • Geoffrey De Mandeville a Study of the Anarchy
    GEOFFREY DE MANDEVILLE A STUDY OF THE ANARCHY By John Horace Round CHAPTER I. THE ACCESSION OF STEPHEN. BEFORE approaching that struggle between King Stephen and his rival, the Empress Maud, with which this work is mainly concerned, it is desirable to examine the peculiar conditions of Stephen's accession to the crown, determining, as they did, his position as king, and supplying, we shall find, the master-key to the anomalous character of his reign. The actual facts of the case are happily beyond question. From the moment of his uncle's death, as Dr. Stubbs truly observes, "the succession was treated as an open question." * Stephen, quick to see his chance, made a bold stroke for the crown. The wind was in his favour, and, with a handful of comrades, he landed on the shores of Kent. 2 His first reception was not encouraging : Dover refused him admission, and Canterbury closed her gates. 8 On this Dr. Stubbs thus comments : " At Dover and at Canterbury he was received with sullen silence. The men of Kent had no love for the stranger who came, as his predecessor Eustace had done, to trouble the land." * But "the men of Kent" were faithful to Stephen, when all others forsook him, and, remembering this, one would hardly expect to find in them his chief opponents. Nor, indeed, were they. Our great historian, when he wrote thus, must, I venture to think, have overlooked the passage in Ordericus (v. 110), from which we learn, incidentally, that Canterbury and Dover were among those fortresses which the Earl of Gloucester held by his father's gift.
