Seeped in 2000 years of rich history, York is one of the most fascinating cities in Britain to visit. It is a picturesque, riverside city that is home to the iconic York Minster, cobbled streets and shadowy medieval ‘snickleways’.

Enjoy lunch at a historic pub or maybe a traditional afternoon tea in one of the quaint village tea shops. The outstanding countryside is so ‘typically English’, sometimes you think time could have stood still for over 300 years! Frequently described as the "jewel in the crown" of Cotswold towns, Chipping Campden is also one of the best preserved and most historically important. The High Street is lined with a range of wonderful and intriguing shops. In the town centre is the Market hall built in 1627 for the sale of butter, cheese and poultry. Chipping Campden has been thoroughly preserved and still presents the character of a Cotswold market town. 5.00pm Your driver guide leaves you at Buckland Manor Balance of the evening at leisure O/N: Buckland Manor Day 8 Explore Oxford 9.00am Your private driver-guide collects you from your hotel and depart for Oxford 10.15am Enjoy a walking tour of Oxford What most people associate with Oxford is its university, and rightly so. Over the past eight centuries eminent scientists, philosophers, authors, archbishops, explorers and politicians have emerged from its ivory towers. However the city of Oxford is not to be forgotten, it is a medieval city seeped in culture and history with a lively mix of restaurants, pubs and theatres adding to its alluring and vibrant buzz. 1.00pm Enjoy lunch at leisure in Woodstock 2.15pm Visit Blenheim Palace Blenheim Palace was a VERY generous gift from Queen Anne and a grateful nation to John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough following his famous victory at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704.

Nowadays you can’t bathe in the water here but you can still see the water's source and the roman ruins of the temple which was once the hub of everyday life. The museum has an interactive element with roman costumed characters and the chance to try a glass of the spa water. 1.00pm Lunch at leisure 2.00pm Visit Lacock You really have to rub your eyes and ask 'Am I living in the 21st century?' That's the Lacock effect for you. Lacock is a timeless, traditional English village that looks like it has just stepped out of medieval times. Or the pages of Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice or JK Rowling's Harry Potter novels. Nothing is allowed to interfere with its looks, not even TV aerials or overhead cables. No wonder, then, that it's the star of many movies and period dramas, including the adventures of a certain wizard from Hogwarts School… 4.30pm Your private driver guide leaves you at your hotel O/N: Buckland Manor Day 10 Transfer Home! 9.00am Depart with your driver and transfer to London Heathrow Airport in time for your flight back to the US 12.00pm Approximate arrival time at London Heathrow Airport Farewell!

  • The Country House in English Women's Poetry 1650-1750: Genre, Power and Identity
    The country house in English women's poetry 1650-1750: genre, power and identity Sharon L. Young A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the University’s requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 University of Worcester Abstract The country house in English women’s poetry 1650-1750: power, identity and genre This thesis examines the depiction of the country estate in English women’s poetry, 1650-1750. The poems discussed belong to the country house genre, work with or adapt its conventions and tropes, or belong to what may be categorised as sub-genres of the country house poem. The country house estate was the power base of the early modern world, authorizing social status, validating political power and providing an economic dominance for the ruling elite. This thesis argues that the depiction of the country estate was especially pertinent for a range of female poets. Despite the suggestive scholarship on landscape and place and the emerging field of early modern women’s literary studies and an extensive body of critical work on the country house poem, there have been to date no substantial accounts of the role of the country estate in women’s verse of this period. In response, this thesis has three main aims. Firstly, to map out the contours of women’s country house poetry – taking full account of the chronological scope, thematic and formal diversity of the texts, and the social and geographic range of the poets using the genre. Secondly, to interrogate the formal and thematic characteristics of women’s country house poetry, looking at the appropriation and adaptation of the genre.

It identifies important features of the villages and their buildings which need to be retained if the character of the villages is to be preserved, while recognising that Slingsby is a working village. It also seeks to identify changes which could be harmful to the character of these settlements. The focus of the document is on Slingsby, as it is the largest settlement in the Parish and subject to more development than the hamlets of South Holme and Fryton. It is intended to be of help and guidance for any new developments in the village as well as for small alterations to existing properties.

  • Wren and the English Baroque
    What is English Baroque? • An architectural style promoted by Christopher Wren (1632-1723) that developed between the Great Fire (1666) and the Treaty of Utrecht (1713). It is associated with the new freedom of the Restoration following the Cromwell’s puritan restrictions and the Great Fire of London provided a blank canvas for architects. In France the repeal of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 revived religious conflict and caused many French Huguenot craftsmen to move to England. • In total Wren built 52 churches in London of which his most famous is St Paul’s Cathedral (1675-1711). Wren met Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) in Paris in August 1665 and Wren’s later designs tempered the exuberant articulation of Bernini’s and Francesco Borromini’s (1599-1667) architecture in Italy with the sober, strict classical architecture of Inigo Jones. • The first truly Baroque English country house was Chatsworth, started in 1687 and designed by William Talman. • The culmination of English Baroque came with Sir John Vanbrugh (1664-1726) and Nicholas Hawksmoor (1661-1736), Castle Howard (1699, flamboyant assemble of restless masses), Blenheim Palace (1705, vast belvederes of massed stone with curious finials), and Appuldurcombe House, Isle of Wight (now in ruins). Vanburgh’s final work was Seaton Delaval Hall (1718, unique in its structural audacity). Vanburgh was a Restoration playwright and the English Baroque is a theatrical creation. In the early 18th century the English Baroque went out of fashion. It was associated with Toryism, the Continent and Popery by the dominant Protestant Whig aristocracy. The Whig Thomas Watson-Wentworth, 1st Marquess of Rockingham, built a Baroque house in the 1720s but criticism resulted in the huge new Palladian building, Wentworth Woodhouse, we see today.
