  • The Walls but on the Rampart Underneath and the Ditch Surrounding Them
    A walk through 1,900 years of history The Bar Walls of York are the finest and most complete of any town in England. There are five main “bars” (big gateways), one postern (a small gateway) one Victorian gateway, and 45 towers. At two miles (3.4 kilometres), they are also the longest town walls in the country. Allow two hours to walk around the entire circuit. In medieval times the defence of the city relied not just on the walls but on the rampart underneath and the ditch surrounding them. The ditch, which has been filled in almost everywhere, was once 60 feet (18.3m) wide and 10 feet (3m) deep! The Walls are generally 13 feet (4m) high and 6 feet (1.8m) wide. The rampart on which they stand is up to 30 feet high (9m) and 100 feet (30m) wide and conceals the earlier defences built by Romans, Vikings and Normans. The Roman defences The Normans In AD71 the Roman 9th Legion arrived at the strategic spot where It took William The Conqueror two years to move north after his the rivers Ouse and Foss met.

    TECHNICAL TRANSACTIONS 3/2019 ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN PLANNING DOI: 10.4467/2353737XCT.19.032.10206 SUBMISSION OF THE FINAL VERSION: 15/02/2019 Andrzej Legendziewicz orcid.org/0000-0002-9228-296X [email protected] Faculty of Architecture, Wrocław University of Technology Selected city gates in Silesia – research issues1 Wybrane zespoły bramne na Śląsku – problematyka badawcza Abstract1 The conservation work performed on the city gates of some Silesian cities in recent years has offered the opportunity to undertake architectural research. The researchers’ interest was particularly aroused by towers which form the framing of entrances to old-town areas and which are also a reflection of the ambitious aspirations and changing tastes of townspeople and a result of the evolution of architectural forms. Some of the gate buildings were demolished in the 19th century as a result of city development. This article presents the results of research into selected city gates: Grobnicka Gate in Głubczyce, Górna Gate in Głuchołazy, Lewińska Gate in Grodków, Krakowska and Wrocławska Gates in Namysłów, and Dolna Gate in Prudnik. The obtained research material supported an attempt to verify the propositions published in literature concerning the evolution of military buildings in Silesia between the 14th century and the beginning of the 17th century. Relicts of objects that have not survived were identified in two cases. Keywords: Silesia, architecture, city walls, Gothic, the Renaissance Streszczenie Prace konserwatorskie prowadzone na bramach w niektórych miastach Śląska w ostatnich latach były okazją do przeprowadzenia badań architektonicznych. Zainteresowanie badaczy budziły zwłaszcza wieże, które tworzyły wejścia na obszary staromiejskie, a także były obrazem ambitnych aspiracji i zmieniających się gustów mieszczan oraz rezultatem ewolucji form architektonicznych.

  • Drawbridge, Portcullis, Battlements, Moat, Gatehouse, Curtain Wall, Tower, Arrow Slits
    Otter Class 8.6.20 Hello Otter Class! I hope you have had a nice week. I can’t believe it is June already! We have a brand new topic..Castles! Here are some ideas to start you off on our new topic! 1) Make a list of everything you know about castles. What were theyfor? Who lived in castles? Do you know the names of any famous castles? 2) Write some questions. What do you want to find out about castles? Remember all your special question words (who/why/when etc) and don’t forget your question mark... 3) Word challenge...what do these words mean? Drawbridge, portcullis, battlements, moat, gatehouse, curtain wall, tower, arrow slits... You could look in a book or search on the internet. You could write a definition for each word (what it means) to make a castle word glossary (a tricky word list) You could even draw a picture to go with each word or print one out. You might discover some other castle words too! 4) Design your own castle and draw a picture. Label it with some of the words from above. What is your castle called? Who lives in it? You could even make a model of your castle. You could use recycled materials or Lego or think of a different way to make your model. These castles might give you some ideas when you design your own! 1) Reading ideas Remember to keep on reading! It could be a story or non fiction book about minibeast or anything you like! You could do some cooking with your grown up and help read the recipe/instructions.

  • The Impact Off Crusader Castles Upon European Western Castles
    THE IMPACT OF CRUSADER CASTLES UPON EUROPEAN WESTERN CASTLES IN THE MIDDLE AGES JORDAN HAMPE MAY 2009 A SENIOR PROJECT SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS IN ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN- LA CROSSE Abstract: During the Middle Ages, the period from roughly AD 1000-1450, the structure of castles changed greatly from wooden motte and bailey to stone keeps and defenses within stone city walls. The reason for the change was largely influenced by the crusades as Europeans went to the Holy Lands to conquer. In addition to conquering, these kings brought back a new way of designing and fortifying their castles in England, Wales and France. Without the influence of the crusades, what we think of as true middle age castles would not exist. For my paper I will analyze the impact the crusades had on forming the middle age castles by evidence surviving in the archaeological record from before and after the crusades as well as modifications done on castles to accommodate crusader changes to show the drastic influence of crusader castle fortifications upon English, Welsh and French castles. 1 Introduction Construction of what is believed to be true middle age castles from A.D. 1000 to 1450 began as kings arrived back from the crusades to the Holy Lands, bringing with them ideas of how to make their castles grander and more easily defensible. Before the crusades William I of England was beginning to develop a new concentric style of castle beginning with the Tower of London. After the crusades many English, Welsh and French kings took the concentric concept and combined it with what they saw on the crusades and developed it to become majestic castles and fortresses like Chateau Gaillard in France, Dover Castle in England, and Caernarvon Castle in Wales.

  • Castles and Cathedrals
    Castles and Cathedrals Proudly supported by the Tri-Border Girl Scouts Folklore and fairytales, Princes, Knights, and Kings are storybook characters to most of us. But as we begin living overseas and visiting some Castles and Cathedrals we begin to learn fact from fiction. Castles Castles were homes that were also fortresses. Many were built during the Middle Ages. During that time wars were fought and land defended by powerful individuals rather than by central governments. These residences were intended for a King, Lord, or Nobleman. Thick walls and high battlements were known as early as the days of the Assyrians (8th century BC). Weapons and embroidered tapestries decorated stone walls and animal skins covered the floors. Cathedrals It’s been said that Cathedrals are Christianity’s most glorious contribution to the art of building. In Medieval days, all of Western Europe was Roman Catholic. Entire communities united in an effort to build a church to bring credit to the city as well as to glorify God. Different styles of architecture Byzantine: Combines styles that come from the Middle East and from Ancient Rome Romanesque: Northern art began to influence Roman art and a new style was born Gothic: 12th Century, Cathedrals had an upward thrust as though reaching for Heaven Challenges for all Girls 1.

  • A-Walk-In-Our-Shoes
    2 3 4 Canterbury One of the most historic of English cities, Canterbury is famous for its medieval cathedral. There was a settlement here before the Roman invasion, but it was the arrival of St Augustine in 597 AD that was the signal for Canterbury's growth. Augustine built a cathedral within the city walls, and a new monastery outside the walls. The ruins of St Augustine's Abbey can still be seen today. Initially the abbey was more important than the cathedral, but the murder of St Thomas a Becket in 1170 changed all that. Pilgrims flocked to Canterbury to visit the shrine of the murdered archbishop, and Canterbury Cathedral became the richest in the land. It was expanded and rebuilt to become one of the finest examples of medieval architecture in Britain. But there is more to Canterbury than the cathedral. The 12th century Eastbridge Hospital was a guesthouse for pilgrims, and features medieval wall paintings and a Pilgrim's Chapel. The old West Gate of the city walls still survives, and the keep of a 11th century castle. St Dunstan's church holds a rather gruesome relic; the head of Sir Thomas More, executed by Henry VIII. The area around the cathedral is a maze of twisting medieval streets and alleys, full of historic buildings. Taken as a whole, Canterbury is one of the most satisfying historic cities to visit in England. 5 St Augustine's Abbey In this case the abbey isn't just dedicated to St. Augustine, it was actually founded by him, in 598, to house the monks he brought with him to convert the Britons to Christianity.

  • The West Gate of Winchester
    HANTS FIELD CLUB AND ARCH/EOLOGICAL SOCIETY, 1898 PLATE I. WEST GATE, WINCHESTER, FROM A DRAW.™ BY S. PROUT. 1810. 51 THE WEST GATE OF WINCHESTER. BY W. H. JACOB. The West Gate, which forms a handsome termination to the picturesque High Street, Winchester, is the only one left of the gates of the Royal city, save that called Kihgsgate, which .has been saved from destruction by the little church of St. Swithun resting on its arches. For many years the interior has been an unknown place, to visitors it was a for- bidden sight, and but few people have ever seen it; From the middle of the 18th century, its ancient .features have been hidden by whitewash, lath and plaster, deal cupboards, and shelves. For some years in this century it was used as a muniment room, where also was stored an enormous mass of waste paper of the late Victorian age. This vast accumu- lation Mr. Stopher and the writer were allowed to examine. Having made selection of valuable matter, the rubbish was relegated to a paper mill, after which a couple of years were spent in an inquisition of a great variety of ancient records, the result being a fine collection of court records, chamber- lain's arid hospital rolls, coffer, ordinance, and other books, ranging over several centuries. This labour, added to pre- vious efforts of Mr. F. J. Baigent, leaves but little more to do beyond the provision of a fit receptacle for the collection. Before proceeding to speak of West Gate, its history in the.past and present condition, we would allude to the accusation against the Pavement Commissioners made by Dr.
