Ruskin House, Thurland Castle RUSKIN HOUSE £725,000 Thurland Castle, Tunstall, LA6 2QR Highly distinctive and luxuriously appointed this is a wonderful opportunity to live in the prestigious and exclusive Thurland Castle Estate. Converted from the carriage house of this magnificent Grade II* Listed moated castle, Ruskin House is one of five highly individual and beautifully presented properties set around a landscaped courtyard with an additional private terrace and garden running alongside the moat. High quality appointments, sumptuous bespoke interiors and 10 acres of shared grounds with tennis court make this a unique and special place to live. www.davis-bowring.co.uk Welcome to RUSKIN HOUSE £725,000 Thurland Castle, Tunstall, LA6 2QR Ever fancied living in a moated castle but don’t want to forsake your modern luxuries? Never fear! Ruskin House offers 21st Century living in historical surroundings. Here’s list of our favourite things to tempt you to consider castle living… Thurland Castle has had a rich and dramatic past. With earlier origins, Sir Thomas De Tunstall was granted a Royal Licence to crenulate his manor house in 1404 which then officially became Thurland Castle. In 2000 the property was purchased by a residential development company who skilfully and painstakingly divided the property into 12 individual houses and apartments. Ruskin House is named after John Ruskin (1819-1900 English writer, art critic and performer), a dominant influence on taste among intellectuals of the Victorian period and a regular visitor to Thurland Castle. Great for everyday and extra special for entertaining, set over two floors with a gross internal area of 2202 sq ft (204.6 sq m) there is a particularly sociable flow of rooms on the ground floor, each one enhanced by decorative glazing across the front of the property with a view out to the landscaped courtyard. Cooking will never be a chore in the stylish breakfast kitchen well appointed with SieMatic units with granite worktops and integrated appliances. The kitchen opens onto a light and sunny breakfast area with French doors onto the courtyard. The morning room off the dining room also has doors out to the courtyard. The spacious drawing room has a feature leaded and stained window (which allows coloured light to flood in) and doors out to the moatside garden. There’s also a library and office leading off the drawing room. Rooms for every occasion! Sleep easy with a choice of three double bedrooms - the sumptuous master bedroom is beautifully fitted with bespoke furniture and there are three well-appointed bath/shower rooms. Easy to maintain and a pleasure to enjoy - the private garden to the front includes a lawn, fountain and a flagged terrace providing a secluded area which enjoys all day sun. The garden is open to the general courtyard and provides an impressive approach to Ruskin House. To the rear there is a private flagged terrace bordering the moat. There are also 10 acres of shared grounds to enjoy which are maintained by the castle gardeners and a recently resurfaced hard court tennis court. Garage and parking - there is a double garage, allocated private parking by the entrance to The Stables as well as shared visitor parking.

A beautiful and well connected place to live For those not already local or familiar with the area, here’s a small taster of what you can expect here in the Lune Valley. Tunstall is a small village within the beautiful and gently undulating Lune Valley. Within walking distance is The Lunesdale Arms (noted in the Good Pub guide that it 'offers a good range of wines and gins and highly regarded Mediterranean influenced food'). There’s also a village hall and a church, St John the Bapstist, as attended by the Bronte sisters in the 1820s for a year while attending the Clergy Daughter's school in nearby Cowan Bridge. One of the English countryside's unspoilt gems, the Lune Valley begins just a few minutes' drive from Lancaster and borders the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Yorkshire Dales. The Lake District National Park is less that an hour's drive away. For those who like to spend time outdoors, you will be spoilt for choice as the area provides a stunningly scenic backdrop for walkers, climbers, cavers, potholers, cyclists and sailors. The ever-popular and charming market town of Kirkby Lonsdale provides good local amenities including restaurants, independent shops, pubs, a post office, churches and a Booths supermarket. Burton-in-Lonsdale is close by with a popular local pub, a community shop and post office, a village hall and sports pavilion and field. Nearby Hornby is a great support centre - it has a doctors' surgery, village shop, post office and tea room, florist and well- regarded butchers. The city of Lancaster offers a comprehensive selection of facilities as well as Lancaster University, Lancaster & Morecambe College and the Royal Lancaster Infirmary.

    Reimagining the Brontës: (Post)Feminist Middlebrow Adaptations and Representations of Feminine Creative Genius, 1996- 2011. Catherine Paula Han Submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Literature) Cardiff University 2015 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor Professor Ann Heilmann for her unflagging enthusiasm, kindness and acuity in matters academic and otherwise for four years. Working with Professor Heilmann has been a pleasure and a privilege. I am grateful, furthermore, to Dr Iris Kleinecke-Bates at the University of Hull for co-supervising the first year of this project and being a constant source of helpfulness since then. I would also like to acknowledge the assistance of Professor Judith Buchanan at the University of York, who encouraged me to pursue a PhD and oversaw the conception of this thesis. I have received invaluable support, moreover, from many members of the academic and administrative staff at the School of English, Communication and Philosophy at Cardiff University, particularly Rhian Rattray. I am thankful to the AHRC for providing the financial support for this thesis for one year at the University of Hull and for a further two years at Cardiff University. Additionally, I am fortunate to have been the recipient of several AHRC Research and Training Support Grants so that I could undertake archival research in the UK and attend a conference overseas. This thesis could not have been completed without access to resources held at the British Film Institute, the BBC Written Archives and the Brontë Parsonage Museum. I am also indebted to Tam Fry for giving me permission to quote from correspondence written by his father, Christopher Fry.

  • 1 Victoria County History of Cumbria
    Victoria County History of Cumbria Project: Work in Progress Interim Draft [Note: This is an interim draft and should not be cited without first consulting the VCH Cumbria project: for contact details, see http://www.cumbriacountyhistory.org.uk/ ] Parish/township: CASTERTON Author: Emmeline Garnett Date of draft: January 2014 SOCIAL HISTORY Until the 1830s Casterton’s social character appears to have been typical of other rural townships in Westmorland. The backbone of the community consisted of small farmers, many living in small hamlets or isolated dwellings. The township had no church and no proper village. The old manor house stood isolated and downgraded to a farm, and the inn was probably a recent establishment after the road was turnpiked. In 1695 it was reported that, ‘Wee have no person above the degree of a yeoman nor no person of £50 lands or £600 personal Estate within our township.’ 1 Change came with the establishment of the school which William Wilson Carus-Wilson founded as the Clergy Daughters’ School in Cowan Bridge, Lancashire, in 1823, 2 and ten years later moved with 90 pupils to custom-built premises at Casterton, providing a higher and more healthy site, which was moreover on his own family estate. 3 It is to Carus-Wilson’s credit that at a time when girls’ education had barely been considered, both his foundations were for girls. Even before the Clergy Daughters’ School, about 1820 he had started the Servants’ School, to instruct girls of a lower social class in basic household skills and a carefully restricted amount of general education.

  • Jane Eyre As Bildungsroman Michael Giffin 19
    The Brontë Th(under)er VOL 10, 2013 Contents Papers from the talks to the 2013 ABA meetings The Cowan Bridge Controversy Christopher Cooper 1 Jane Eyre as Bildungsroman Michael Giffin 19 Frost in her Heart: Charlotte Brontë, Villette & Melancholia Anne Collett 34 Was Heathcliff Black? Robert Dingley 54 Saving St John Rowan McAuley 71 0 The Cowan Bridge Controversy by CHRISTOPHER COOPER and OTHERS Talk given at the ABA meeting on 2 February 2013 One of the great debates in the world of literary theory is whether it is relevant to know about an author’s life in studying his or her writing or whether the text should stand on its own. At one extreme there are those who emphasise the creativity of the author and argue that a work should only be studied from within. At the other end of the spectrum there are those who maintain that every literary work is to some extent an autobiography. Like the nature/nurture debate in child psychology the answer lies somewhere in the middle. There’s no such thing as pure originality. Every author draws upon their own experiences as the raw materials of their work, but then creates from it something new. These experiences may come from the life of the writer or they may come from stories that they have read or heard. It’s hard to imagine Emily Brontë having many direct experiences along the lines of those in Wuthering Heights. In her case her originality grew out of stories she had read and, perhaps more importantly, heard from the servants.

  • High Park, Cowan Bridge, Lancashire
    ry HIGH PARK, COWAN BRIDGBO LANCASHIRE Peter lles Over the summer of 1997 the Royal Commission on the Historic Monu:nents of England carried out an analyticai field survey of the archaeology of High Park, above Cowan Bridge, Lancashire. The site lies in the very north-east of the county bordering both Cumbria and Yorkshire, on the western edge of the Yorkshire Dales. The survey was undertaken at the request of Lancashire County Council, in order to identiff and record the surviving, visible, above ground archaeology of the area. Before the present investigations started, what was previously known of the archaeology of this area was derived chiefly from a survey conducted by R.A.C. Lowndes between 1960-l (Lowndes 1963). Lowndes identified five large Bronze Age burial mounds or tumuli (labelled TI to T5 on his accompanying plan), plus six settlement complexes (abelled A to F) sr.urounded by a system of 'Celtic' fields. On the evidence of pottery recovered from a small excavation of one of the settlements (Lowndes 1964) he suggested these and the fields were all Romano British in date. The RCHME survey has shown that the landscape is in fact much more complex and extensive than previously thought. It is now possible to say that humans have been living on and farming these hill sides - rather than simply burying their dead here - since the Bronze Age. Much of this activity, particularly on the lower slopes, has been masked or destroyed by later activity, but a type of field pattern typical of the later Bronze Age does sunrive in the north-east of the survey area, characterised by a mosaic of small plots and fields cleared out of stony ground, with the stone deposited into small caims or piled along plot edges.
