  • Post-Medieval and Modern Resource Assessment
    THE SOLENT THAMES RESEARCH FRAMEWORK RESOURCE ASSESSMENT POST-MEDIEVAL AND MODERN PERIOD (AD 1540 - ) Jill Hind April 2010 (County contributions by Vicky Basford, Owen Cambridge, Brian Giggins, David Green, David Hopkins, John Rhodes, and Chris Welch; palaeoenvironmental contribution by Mike Allen) Introduction The period from 1540 to the present encompasses a vast amount of change to society, stretching as it does from the end of the feudal medieval system to a multi-cultural, globally oriented state, which increasingly depends on the use of Information Technology. This transition has been punctuated by the protestant reformation of the 16th century, conflicts over religion and power structure, including regicide in the 17th century, the Industrial and Agricultural revolutions of the 18th and early 19th century and a series of major wars. Although land battles have not taken place on British soil since the 18th century, setting aside terrorism, civilians have become increasingly involved in these wars. The period has also seen the development of capitalism, with Britain leading the Industrial Revolution and becoming a major trading nation. Trade was followed by colonisation and by the second half of the 19th century the British Empire included vast areas across the world, despite the independence of the United States in 1783. The second half of the 20th century saw the end of imperialism. London became a centre of global importance as a result of trade and empire, but has maintained its status as a financial centre. The Solent Thames region generally is prosperous, benefiting from relative proximity to London and good communications routes. The Isle of Wight has its own particular issues, but has never been completely isolated from major events.

  • My Ancestors Who Lived in Leeds Castle (And Some of Them Even Owned It!)
    Chapter 75 My Ancestors Who Lived in Leeds Castle (and Some of Them Even Owned It!) [originally written 4 January 2021] On 20 December 2020, Russ Leisenheimer posted a photo of a sunset over Leeds Castle to his Facebook page.1 Russ was one of my high school classmates in Euclid, Ohio, and he still lives in the Cleveland area. Here is the photo: I have been using the “World Family Tree” on Geni.com to investigate my European ancestors who lived during the Middle Ages, and seeing the photo of Leeds Castle got me to wondering if any of my ancestors lived there. OK, I realized that this was going to be a long shot, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, I have lots of free time to look into such seemingly trifling things. I immediately went to Wikipedia.org to learn about Leeds Castle, and that prompted the following reply to Russ on Facebook: Wikipedia states that “Leeds Castle is a castle in Kent, England, 5 miles (8 km) southeast of Maidstone. A castle has existed on the site since 1119, the first being a simple stone stronghold constructed by Robert de Crevecoeur which served as a military post in the time of Norman intrusions into England. In the 13th century, it came into the hands of King Edward I, for whom it became a favourite residence; in the 16th century, Henry VIII used it as a dwelling for his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.” According to the World Family Tree on Geni.com, Robert de Crevecoeur was my 25th great uncle.

  • Charles I: the Court at War
    6TH NOVEMBER 2019 Theatres of Revolution: the Stuart Kings and the Architecture of Disruption – Charles I: The Court at War PROFESSOR SIMON THURLEY In my last lecture I described what happened when through choice or catastrophe a monarch cannot rule or live in the palaces and places designed for it. King James I subverted English courtly conventions and established a series of unusual royal residences that gave him privacy and freedom from conventional royal etiquette. Although court protocol prevailed at Royston, there was none of the grandeur that the Tudor monarchs would have expected. Indeed, from our perspective Royston was not a palace at all, just a jumble of houses in a market town. Today we turn our attention to King Charles I. In a completely different way from his father he too ended up living in places which we would hesitate to call palaces. But the difference was that he strove at every turn to maintain the magnificence and dignity due to him as sovereign. On 22 August 1642 King Charles raised his standard at Nottingham signalling the end of a stand-off with Parliament and the beginning of what became Civil War. Since the 10th January, when Charles had abandoned London, after his botched attempt to arrest five members of parliament, he had been on the move. Hastily exiting from Whitehall, he arrived late at Hampton Court which was quite unprepared to receive the royal family; it was cold and only partially furnished when Charles entered his privy lodgings. But the king’s main concern was security, not comfort, and preparations were undertaken at lightning speed for the king and queen to move to the safety of Windsor Castle.

  • Appendix E Heritage Visitor Numbers
    HS2 Consultation Response Derbyshire County Council Appendix E Heritage Visitor Numbers 1.1 There are a number of highly significant heritage assets that form a tourism cluster in the north east of Derbyshire. Hardwick Hall, Bolsover, Bolsover Castle and Sutton Scarsdale Hall contribute to this cluster. The full potential of these assets as part of a tourism cluster has probably yet to be fully realised. 1.2 Details of the current and projected visitor numbers for Bolsover Castle and Hardwick Hall have been provided by English Heritage and the National Trust respectively. Bolsover Castle, English Heritage. 1.3 The key facts in relation to Bolsover Castle are as follows: 1.4 “Visitor numbers for the year 2012-13 were just under 68,000. This years projected figures for the period 2013-2014 are at over 75,000 and we are currently ahead of this target. In terms of income generated, this is forecast at around £630,000 in 2013-14 period. Separate to this, income generated from hospitality (including weddings) was worth around £80,000 in the last financial year.” 1.5 “English Heritage is currently undertaking significant investment into the site as part of a £1million project due for completion by Spring 2014. This includes: • repair works to the Little Castle - reinstatement of the French doors to the balconies and the addition of furnishings, as well as providing fancy dress items and props for young visitors; • repair works to the exterior of the Castle; • repair works to the high-level wall walk surrounding the Fountain Gardens which is to be re-instated and open for visitors for the first time in almost 400 years.” 1.6 “In addition, new exhibitions and interpretation is being developed” as well as “the addition of a children's play park in the grounds.” 1.7 “Through this significant investment, we hope to further increase visitor numbers to the property, thereby boosting the local tourism economy and providing a lasting contribution to the Castle's future.
