WILLIAM HARDING SCHOOL Hazlehurst Drive, Aylesbury, Bucks. HP21 9TJ Phone: 01296 421733 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.williamhardingschool.co.uk Head Teacher: Miss T Cotchin BA(Hons) PGCE NPQH 21st June 2021 Dear parents and families, Re: New Year 6 class name As a growing school we are now moving to 4 classes in Year 6 and this completes our growth to a full four form entry school, one of the largest in bucks and in line with some secondary school sizes. With plans being put in place for MUSU and the new school year ahead in September, there was one important job that needed to be completed, the naming of the new Year 6 class. We asked members of staff to come up with famous castle names, to continue with our theme in Year 6, and then the children of Year 5 voted on their favourite. The votes were counted and the name of the new class in Year 6 will be…CARDIFF. We are looking forward to now having four classes in every year group across the school, with Cardiff class being the final one to add to our list. Cardiff Castle Cardiff castle is a medieval castle located in the city centre of Cardiff, Wales. The original castle was built in the late 11th century by Norman invaders, on top of a 3rd century Roman fort. The castle was commissioned possibly by, William the Conqueror or Robert Fitzhamon and formed the heart of Cardiff. Cardiff castle was attacked numerous times throughout its history, most famously during conflicts between the Anglo-Normans and the Welsh. During World War 2, air raid shelters were built in the castle walls which could hold up to 1,800 people. In 1947, the castle was given to the City of Cardiff, and is now used as a tourist attraction. Yours faithfully, Mr Stallwood Assistant headteacher (Year 5 and 6) Our School Values are: Inclusion, Perseverance, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility and Collaboration. .

Tewkesbury Abbey Fine and Almost
Tewkesbury Abbey Fine and almost complete example of a Romanesque abbey church Pre-dates Reading. Dedicated in 1121, the year of Reading’s foundation. Look out for anniversary events at Tewksbury in 2021. But some important and interesting links to Reading Both were Benedictine Founder Robert Fitzhamon (honour of Gloucester), friend of Rufus, supported against Robert Curthose. At his death in the New Forest. Then loyal to Henry I – campaigned in Normandy against supporters of Curthose and died doing so in 1107. Fitzhamon’s heiress Mabel married Robert of Gloucester d 1147, the first and most favoured illegitimate son of Henry I, who was a key supporter of his half sister Matilda Granddaughters were coheiresses – but one of them Hawise (or Isabella of Gloucester) married Prince John. Despite annulment, Tewksbury became a royal abbey Later passed to the de Clares. Earls of Gloucester and Hereford. And made their mausoleum Richard III de Clare (grandson) married Joan of Acre, daughter of Edward I Again co heiresses in the early 14th C. the eldest Eleanor married Hugh Despenser the younger, favourite of Edward II, executed 1326. She is instrumental in making Tewksbury into a Despenser mausoleum (significant rebuilding and splendid tombs) Her great grandson Thomas Despenser marries Constance of York granddaughter of Ed III. A strong link with Reading abbey here as she was buried there in 1416 The Despenser line also ended up with an heiress Isabella who married in turn two men called Richard Beauchamp, the first Richard Beauchamp lord Abergavenny a great friend of Henry V who created him earl of Worcester: but Richard died in the French wars in March 1422; and then his half cousin Richard Beauchamp earl of Warwick, also prominent in the wars in France.

Domesday Book and Beyond: Three Essays in the Early History of England Frederic William Maitland
Domesday Book and Beyond: Three Essays in the Early History of England Frederic William Maitland Essay One Domesday Book At midwinter in the year 1085 William the Conqueror wore his crown at Gloucester and there he had deep speech with his wise men. The outcome of that speech was the mission throughout all England of 'barons,' 'legates' or 'justices' charged with the duty of collecting from the verdicts of the shires, the hundreds and the vills a descriptio of his new realm. The outcome of that mission was the descriptio preserved for us in two manuscript volumes, which within a century after their making had already acquired the name of Domesday Book. The second of those volumes, sometimes known as Little Domesday, deals with but three counties, namely Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk, while the first volume comprehends the rest of England. Along with these we must place certain other documents that are closely connected with the grand inquest. We have in the so-called Inquisitio Comitatus Cantabrigiae, a copy, an imperfect copy, of the verdicts delivered by the Cambridgeshire jurors, and this, as we shall hereafter see, is a document of the highest value, even though in some details it is not always very trustworthy.(1*) We have in the so-called Inquisitio Eliensis an account of the estates of the Abbey of Ely in Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and other counties, an account which has as its ultimate source the verdicts of the juries and which contains some particulars which were omitted from Domesday Book.(2*) We have in the so-called Exon Domesday

Introduction 1.1 This documentary research report was commissioned by Cotswold Archaeology in August 2010, and concerns a 26-hectare site at Park Farm, Thornbury, in South Gloucestershire (central grid ref ST 6368 9146). This consists of five pasture fields and has been proposed as the site of a housing development; it is immediately adjacent to the Thornbury Conservation Area to the south-west. The site has previously been the subject of an archaeological desk-based assessment compiled by Cotswold Archaeology in March 2010. It is likely that the interpretation of the site will be considerably enhanced by research into the documentary sources. This research report forms part of an extensive investigation of the heritage content of the site, undertaken before the determination of planning consent, which also includes an archaeological desk-based assessment, a geophysical survey, a Lidar survey and an archaeological field evaluation.

Coity Castle
Great Archaeological Sites in Bridgend 6. COITY CASTLE On the outskirts of Bridgend is Coity Castle (SS 9230 8149), founded by Sir Payn de Turberville, one of t Twelve Knights of Glamorgan who according to tradition were the companions who helped the Norman baron Robert Fitzhamon of Gloucester to conquer lowland Glamorgan. They were each rewarded with some of the newly conquered lands, and the Bridgend area fell to St Payn, who established his centre of power at Coity. His original castle was a quickly constructed earth and timber ringwork, where all the buildings needed by a Norman lord were enclosed within a rampart and a deep, wide ditch, which can still be seen today. However, over the centuries it was upgraded to fulfil the concerns of the day. At first, this was mainly about improving the defences, to make them proof against any attempt to set them on fire, as well as rebuilding elements that had been damaged by enemy attack. However, as the Middle Ages drew to a close and defence was much less of a priority, the improvements increasingly focussed on making the castle a more comfortable place to live. The first step, in the late 12th century, was to reinforce the earth and timber of the original castle in stone. This is thought to have involved adapting the ringwork into an inner ward, complete with keep, and making an outer bailey where a bailey had been attached to ringwork. Still to be seen from this period are the keep and more than half of the curtain wall of the inner ward.
