He found himself in another county that was already no more than a memory by the time of Domesday Book THE LOST COUNTY OF Winchcombeshire Last summer I was invited by the Worcestershire branch of the Young Archaeologists’ Club to an exhibition of their field work on a site near Broadway on the edge of the Cotswolds. They had spent many hours walking a ploughed field, recording the results and analysing the finds, many of which are Roman and show that there must be a Roman farmstead in the field. It is an exemplary project. This visit took me to a part of the country which I find very attractive, not really the Cotswolds (which I don’t really like – too flat and featureless for me) but just off the northern end, on the edge of the valleys of the Severn and Avon. It is an area of flat fields and small isolated hills. On the edge are the towns and villages of Tewkesbury and Bredon to the west, Evesham to the Opposite: Bredon, Above: Abandoned north and Winchcombe to the south.

  • Gloucestershire Castles
    Gloucestershire Archives Take One Castle Gloucestershire Castles The first castles in Gloucestershire were built soon after the Norman invasion of 1066. After the Battle of Hastings, the Normans had an urgent need to consolidate the land they had conquered and at the same time provide a secure political and military base to control the country. Castles were an ideal way to do this as not only did they secure newly won lands in military terms (acting as bases for troops and supply bases), they also served as a visible reminder to the local population of the ever-present power and threat of force of their new overlords. Early castles were usually one of three types; a ringwork, a motte or a motte & bailey; A Ringwork was a simple oval or circular earthwork formed of a ditch and bank. A motte was an artificially raised earthwork (made by piling up turf and soil) with a flat top on which was built a wooden tower or ‘keep’ and a protective palisade. A motte & bailey was a combination of a motte with a bailey or walled enclosure that usually but not always enclosed the motte. The keep was the strongest and securest part of a castle and was usually the main place of residence of the lord of the castle, although this changed over time. The name has a complex origin and stems from the Middle English term ‘kype’, meaning basket or cask, after the structure of the early keeps (which resembled tubes). The name ‘keep’ was only used from the 1500s onwards and the contemporary medieval term was ‘donjon’ (an apparent French corruption of the Latin dominarium) although turris, turris castri or magna turris (tower, castle tower and great tower respectively) were also used.
