The Major New BBC1 Series – 'How We Built Britain' Looks at the History of the Country Through Our Buildings How we Built Britain The BBC1 series – ‘How we Built Britain’ (shown Summer 2007) looked at the history of the country through our buildings. The first programme featured the East of England region – which abounds in outstanding examples of architecture. From Britain’s greatest collection of cathedrals to the award-winning terminal at Stansted Airport. Discover flint and timber buildings, and stately homes dating from Tudor to Victorian times. Over the next few pages we have listed a selection of key places to visit - check out our web site at www.visiteastofengland.com for opening times and admission prices. Architecture of the Region Building stone is virtually non-existent in the East of England, apart from a few special areas: z Barnack (Cambridgeshire) - the famous limestone here was worked from Roman times to the end of the 15th C. Ely and Peterborough Cathedrals are good examples of the stone in use. z Carstone (West Norfolk) - this dark brown stone forms a ridge between Castle Rising and Heacham. It has been widely used in the area as a building stone, and Downham Market was once known as the "Gingerbread town". z Puddingstone (Hertfordshire) - this unusual stone is made up of rounded Flint villages flint pebbles. A large piece sits opposite the church in the village of Standon. It has been used for building walls. z Sandstone - The Greensand Ridge runs from Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire to Gamlingay in Cambridgeshire. In some places, ‘glauconite’ (an iron-bearing mineral) colours the stone an amazing green - the origin of the name ‘Greensand’. Today you can see it used in local villages, churches, walls and bridges. z Totternhoe (Bedfordshire) - located at the base of the chalk, this stone has been quarried since the 13th C. It is used as a building and ornamental stone (such as St. Albans Abbey gateway, Hertfordshire). Flint - a hard, steely grey mineral - a form of silica, is the region´s most famous and abundant building stone. Since Neolithic times it has been mined from the chalk, such as at Grimes Graves, nr. Brandon in Norfolk - and used everywhere, in both churches and houses. It was either applied rough with mortar, or spilt (knapped) into shape for decoration - such as in beautiful flushwork (a good example being the Guildhall in Norwich, Norfolk). Most of the area’s fine collection of timber-framed buildings were constructed with the wealth of the medieval wool industry. They were Timber-framed houses www.visiteastofengland.com 1 Produced by East of England Tourism pre-fabricated on the ground, then raised into position, using tie beams and roof rafters to secure in place. The spaces between the wooden frame were then filled, normally with a mixture of clay, dung and chopped straw. Finally the completed panel was limewashed. Over the centuries these Tudor houses have been constantly altered - in the Elizabethan period it became fashionable for them to be covered in plaster, then painted different colours, such as the traditional 'Suffolk Pink'. Some were also decorated by pressing a wooden mould or comb onto the wet plaster. This was known as pargetting (good examples being the Sun Inn at Saffron Walden in Essex, and the Ancient House at Ipswich in Suffolk). Whilst in Georgian times many were given brick facades. In the well-wooded counties of Essex and Hertfordshire, the abundance of local timber was put to good use in weather-boarded houses and belfries for churches. Here the traditional colour was black tar used on the doors, and the windows painted white. Thatch was once the most common form of roofing - until the introduction of slates and tiles in the 19th C. Originally thatching was a job which could be carried out by the ordinary farm worker, but today it is a specialist craft undertaken by a small band of people. In Essex and Suffolk, wheat straw was the most common material used for thatching. But in Norfolk, the waterways of The Broads provided the ultimate thatch material - Norfolk reed lasting for up to 60-80 years. Today long straw and water reed, together with sedge as a ridging material, are the forms Thatching of thatch in most general use. The East of England is famous for its bricks. The Romans were the first to make them. Later many pits were dug to collect the abundant clay deposits - and brickmaking was still a going concern until recently in the Marston Moretaine (Bedfordshire) and Peterborough (Cambridgeshire) areas. Strong links with the Low Countries, such as The Netherlands, also saw features such as Dutch gables and pantiles. Programme 1: A New Dawn (Medieval period) z Wool Towns and Villages - the Middle Ages (1154-1485) saw the start of the great cloth-making industry of the East of England. From the worsted cloth of Norfolk to the famous Suffolk Wool Towns – it's wealth is seen today in beautiful churches and timber-framed houses, which were endowed by the successful merchants. Lavenham (Suffolk) is Britain’s best preserved medieval village. z Churches - the East of England is famous for its superb collection of churches. There are fine examples throughout the region, such as Felmersham (Bedfordshire), Isleham (Cambridgeshire), Thaxted (Essex), Stanstead Abbots Hedingham Castle (Hertfordshire), Cawston (Norfolk) and Blythburgh (Suffolk). The shortage and provision of large local stone was probably one of the reasons that a structure special to the region evolved - the round church tower. Flint is mainly small and varies in shape making it unsuitable to make corners. The answer was to mix the uncut flint with mortar to create thick, rounded walls. The county of Norfolk is home of Britain's largest collection (120), with 9th C. St. Andrew's Church at East Lexham (nr. Swaffham) being the oldest. Check out www.visiteastofengland.com for our ‘Pick of the Churches’. z Castle Acre Priory (nr.

  • Norfolk Through a Lens
    NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service 2 NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service History and Background The systematic collecting of photographs of Norfolk really began in 1913 when the Norfolk Photographic Survey was formed, although there are many images in the collection which date from shortly after the invention of photography (during the 1840s) and a great deal which are late Victorian. In less than one year over a thousand photographs were deposited in Norwich Library and by the mid- 1990s the collection had expanded to 30,000 prints and a similar number of negatives. The devastating Norwich library fire of 1994 destroyed around 15,000 Norwich prints, some of which were early images. Fortunately, many of the most important images were copied before the fire and those copies have since been purchased and returned to the library holdings. In 1999 a very successful public appeal was launched to replace parts of the lost archive and expand the collection. Today the collection (which was based upon the survey) contains a huge variety of material from amateur and informal work to commercial pictures. This includes newspaper reportage, portraiture, building and landscape surveys, tourism and advertising. There is work by the pioneers of photography in the region; there are collections by talented and dedicated amateurs as well as professional art photographers and early female practitioners such as Olive Edis, Viola Grimes and Edith Flowerdew. More recent images of Norfolk life are now beginning to filter in, such as a village survey of Ashwellthorpe by Richard Tilbrook from 1977, groups of Norwich punks and Norfolk fairs from the 1980s by Paul Harley and re-development images post 1990s.

Clive Paine and Edward Martin Eye church and castle Eye, Church of St Peter and St Paul (Clive Paine) (by kind permission of Fr Andrew Mitchell). A church dedicated to St Peter was recorded at Eye in 1066. The church was endowed with 240 acres of glebe land, a sure indication that this was a pre-Conquest minster church, with several clergy serving a wide area around Eye. The elliptical shaped churchyard also suggests an Anglo-Saxon origin. Robert Malet, lord of the extensive Honour of Eye, whose father William had built a castle here by 1071, founded a Benedictine priory c. 1087, also dedicated to St Peter, as part of the minster church. It seems that c. 1100–5 the priory was re-established further to the east, at the present misnamed Abbey Farm. It is probable that at the same time the parish church became St Peter and St Paul to distinguish itself from the priory. The oldest surviving piece of the structure is the splendid early thirteenth-century south doorway with round columns, capitals with stiff-leaf foliage, and dog-tooth carving around the arch. The doorway was reused in the later rebuilding of the church, a solitary surviving indication of the high-status embellishment of the early building. The mid fourteenth-century rebuilding was undertaken by the Ufford family of Parham, earls of Suffolk, who were lords of the Honour of Eye 1337–82.

  • Audley End Audley End
    UTTLESFORD DISTRICT COUNCIL AUDLEY END AUDLEY END TL 525383 GRADE I A house of C17 origins beside a mid C19 parterre garden, with pleasure grounds by Richard Woods, surrounded by a C18 park conceived and partly laid out by Lancelot Brown between 1762 and 1767. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT Audley End was built between c. 1605 and 1614, on the site of the abbey of Walden, for Thomas Howard, first earl of Suffolk. His surveyor was Bernard Jannssen and in 1614 Suffolk began to lay out extensive formal gardens. Following conviction for embezzlement however he suffered great financial trouble and his property declined. Suffolk died in 1626, leaving his son Theophilus to bear the twin burdens of his debts and enormous maintenance costs. When James the third earl inherited in 1640 the situation had not improved and after the Restoration the house and some parkland were sold to Charles II in 1668. Extensive works to the house were undertaken by Christopher Wren (1632-1723) but successive monarchs showed little interest in the property which in 1701 was returned to the Howards and settled on Henry, earl of Bindon who assumed the title of sixth earl of Suffolk in 1708. The sixth earl commissioned Sir John Vanbrugh (1664-1726) to make improvements which resulted in demolition of part of the house, after which the property passed to Charles William Howard, seventh earl who died in 1722 at the age of twenty nine. The estate was left to his younger uncle, Charles Howard, while the title passed to his elder uncle, Edward. When Edward died, Charles became the ninth earl and in 1725 he commissioned a plan for a great formal garden by the French architect Dubois.

  • Pick of the Churches
    Pick of the Churches The East of England is famous for its superb collection of churches. They are one of the nation's great treasures. Introduction There are hundreds of churches in the region. Every village has one, some villages have two, and sometimes a lonely church in a field is the only indication that a village existed there at all. Many of these churches have foundations going right back to the dawn of Christianity, during the four centuries of Roman occupation from AD43. Each would claim to be the best - and indeed, all have one or many splendid and redeeming features, from ornate gilt encrusted screens to an ancient font. The history of England is accurately reflected in our churches - if only as a tantalising glimpse of the really creative years between the 1100's to the 1400's. From these years, come the four great features which are particularly associated with the region. - Round Towers - unique and distinctive, they evolved in the 11th C. due to the lack and supply of large local building stone. - Hammerbeam Roofs - wide, brave and ornate, and sometimes strewn with angels. Just lay on the floor and look up! - Flint Flushwork - beautiful patterns made by splitting flints to expose a hard, shiny surface, and then setting them in the wall. Often it is used to decorate towers, porches and parapets. - Seven Sacrament Fonts - ancient and splendid, with each panel illustrating in turn Baptism, Confirmation, Mass, Penance, Extreme Unction, Ordination and Matrimony. Bedfordshire Ampthill - tomb of Richard Nicholls (first governor of Long Island USA), including cannonball which killed him.

  • A Newly-Discovered Fragment of a Daily Account Book
    5 I A NEWLY DISCOVERED FRAGMENT OF A DAILY ACCOUNT BOOK FOR FRAMLINGHAM CASTLE, SUFFOLK byWENDY SMEDLEY Or THE MANY thousands of medieval daily accounts of expenditure generated by the household of Framlingham Castle, not one was believed to have survived. From evidence in an extant annual account book for Frarnlingham Castle (Ridgard 1985,120) it is known that these daily accounts were summarised and entered into paper books from which they were annually abridged. This Latin fragment offered in translation here, a single folio from one such paper book, was discovered in a bundle of documents at Essex County Record Office catalogued (in 1943 ) as 'Out —County Deeds, c. 1400-1834'; the bundle is among the manorial documents of the Come Priory Estate, Earls Colne, Essex.' The folio is described as 'a leaf of a household account, c.1400,of the priory of Framlingham Suffolk' and of having been 'originally used as a cover'.' No priory has ever been recorded in Framlingham. Because the manuscript appears to be the only extant fragment of a medieval daily account of expenditure for the household of the Castleof Framlingham an attempt to trace its provenance is necessary. The bundle of CoInc Priory 'Out —County Deeds', all relating to Suffolk, was put together to prove the claim of Sir John Griffin Griffin to the Barony of Howard de Walden, Essex . The claim arose in consequence of the death of Henry Howard, tenth earl of Suffolk, in 1745, when family settlements were producing complications. The first Baron Howard de Walden and first earl of Suffolk was Thomas lord, Howard (1561-1626), builder of Audley End House, Saffron Walden, Essex (Addison 1953, 2:24) and son of Thomas Howard, fourth duke of Norfolk (1536-1572).
