  • MONUMENTS to the MOTHERLAND the Lost Gothic Houses of John George Howard (1803-1890)1
    ANALYSIS | ANALYSE MONUMENTS TO THE MOTHERLAND The Lost Gothic Houses of John George Howard (1803-1890)1 JESSICA MACE, Ph.D., is a SSHRC (Social > JESSICA MACE Sciences and Humanities Research Council) postdoctoral fellow in affiliation with the Canada Research Chair in Urban Heritage at the Université du Québec à Montréal. earing the middle of the nineteenth Ncentury, the use of the Gothic Revival style for houses had been a mainstay of architecture in England for almost a hundred years. On the outskirts of the Empire, however, the situation was rather different. In the English colony of Upper Canada (present-day Southern Ontario as it was named from 1791-1841), the only known examples of early Gothic houses are few and appear to have existed in the context of present-day Toronto beginning in the 1830s. None of these homes survives, but all seem to have been designed by one of the province’s first and most prolific architects, John George Howard [1803-1890] (fig. 1). Although Howard designed a variety of Gothic houses, including small labourers’ cot- tages,2 this paper will provide an exam- ination of his designs for the houses of the elite. These homes, in particular, sig- nal an interest in Gothic for associations of prestige, lineage, and the assertion of social standing. Through an examina- tion of a heretofore unexplored aspect of Howard’s multi-faceted career (including new attributions), this article will reveal Howard’s ability to keep abreast of con- temporary architectural developments in England and to produce fashionable homes with desirable associations.

  • 1 TURNER PAINTING Joseph Mallord William Turner (C1775-1851) Was a Renowned Landscape Painter, Both in Oils and Watercolours
    1 TURNER PAINTING Joseph Mallord William Turner (c1775-1851) was a renowned landscape painter, both in oils and watercolours. This watercolour of the gatehouse to Carisbrooke Castle was painted in 1828 for a series of picturesque views in England and Wales, a collaborative project with the printmaker, Charles Heath, who was to produce 96 of Turner’s engravings between 1827 and 1838. This is regarded as one of the finest in the series. Turner visited the Isle of Wight at least twice. In the summer of 1827 he stayed with the architect, John Nash, at East Cowes Castle which may be when he made the sketches for this painting. This painting was accepted by H.M. Government in lieu of Inheritance Tax and allocated to Carisbrooke Castle Museum in 2007. 2 NORMAN TABLEMAN This is a carved walrus-ivory counter from a Norman board game, dating from between 1150 and 1199. Sometimes counters like this are known as draughtsman but it is far more likely that they were used for playing a game called tables, which is why this counter is called a tableman. Tables was a game similar to backgammon. This tableman features a Norman knight in his mail armour, standing on the drawbridge of a medieval castle. It was found down a well on the Isle of Wight in 1732, made its way to Norwich Castle Museum, and then returned to Carisbrooke Castle Museum on the Isle of Wight in 1960. This tableman would have probably been one of a set of 30 pieces, so it would have belonged to someone with both wealth and leisure.

    Directorate of Regeneration Interim Director Bernadette Marjoram East Cowes (Centre) Conservation Area Appraisal Document Adopted 11 January 2008 Conservation & Design Planning Services 01983 823552 [email protected] www.iwight.com/conservation Contents Introduction 1 Article 4(2) Directions 5 Area 1 (Church Path) Character Area Statement 6 - 10 Area 2 (Town Centre) Character Area Statement 11 - 15 Annexe A - Article 4(2) Schedule 16 www.iwight.com/conservation Adopted 11 January 2008 Introduction Local Planning Authorities have a duty under The Planning (Listed Buildings & Conservation Areas) Act 1990 to designate as conservation areas any areas considered to be of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to protect or enhance. Recent Government guidance directs conservation area appraisal documents to identify local distinctiveness and the qualities that make an area unique. Conservation area boundaries are inevitably subjective in complex environments, and are based not only on architectural, land-use or historic attributes, but on the dynamic experience of walking or driving through an area. Map based boundaries are taken into consideration, but sensational qualities such as the awareness of enclosure or openness and degrees of noise and activity are also important in defining edges to character areas and the conservation area. In coastal areas, the boundaries may follow the line of the mean low water mark which is the extent of the jurisdiction of the Council and so is used for consistency. The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 also makes provision for schemes to enhance the area, so the inclusion of areas of potential allows for schemes to be put forward which will improve the area in keeping with its own individual character, and to the same high standard.

  • East Cowes Design Statement 2009 1. Aims
    EAST COWES DESIGN STATEMENT 2009 1. AIMS & OBJECTIVES : 1.1 That the design statement shall serve as a guide to the design of buildings in the town of East Cowes with the objective of preserving and enhancing the Victorian / Edwardian character of the town. 1.2 To ensure that all future buildings reflect and complement the character not only of the buildings in that vicinity but also reflect and complement the character and heritage of the town. 2. DESIGN : 2.1 The key to the design of future buildings is that the design both reflects either Victorian or Edwardian design features and complements adjacent buildings and the environment. This requirement does not imply copies of buildings from past eras but does require designs that, with buildings in the vicinity, enhance the street scene and add to the character of the town. 2.2 The town was Queen Victoria’s chosen home and Victorian, with later Edwardian, buildings make up a great part of the town’s architectural heritage and the major proportion of future building should reflect and complement that style to maintain the town’s character. This focus should not preclude a lesser proportion of innovative buildings being approved where the style reflects Palladian influences from Osborne House or Regency influences echoing the lost heritage of John Nash. 2.3 Some background: a) Setting : The town of East Cowes is bounded to the west by the River Medina and to the north by the Solent. To the south the town is separated from the village of Whippingham by arable land: a large portion of this nearest to the town is presently (2009) being developed for housing.
