  • Cotswold Landmarks
    Cotswold Landmarks Castles in The Cotswolds are not rare, in fact the region has some of the most beautiful castles in England and many are top tourist attractions in the area. Although Blenheim is not a castle, it is still an incredibly beautiful landmark which attracts thousands of visitors every year. The Cotswolds have some of England’s most well-known castles, many that have royal connections and fascinating historical stories. The Cotswolds stretches across the Cotswold hills and is in the South-West of England, just a short trip taking 1 hour and 40 minutes on a train from London. The region is steeped in history and was once the largest supplier of English wool during the Medieval times. The Cotswold hills are magical with breath-taking views across to faraway places such as the Welsh mountains. Berkeley Castle Berkeley Castle is still owned by the Berkeley family and remains a stunning example of English heritage in the beautiful Cotswold countryside. Berkeley Castle was built in 1153 and has welcomed many royals over the centuries including Henry VIII, Edward II, Elizabeth I and the late Queen Mother. There are some incredible and historical stories about the castle, including where the murder of Edward II took place and apparently, Midsummers Night’s Dream by Shakespeare, was written for a Berkeley family wedding within the castle. It is also believed that the last court jester known in England died at Berkeley Castle when he fell from the minstrel’s gallery in the Great Hall. Berkeley Castle is a fine example of typical architecture and English stately culture and is a charming aspect to the beauty of The Cotswolds.

  • Cotswold Castles
    Cotswold Castles Castles in The Cotswolds are not unusual, in fact the area is home to some of the most beautiful castles in England. Many are top of the tourist attractions in the region. There is also Blenheim Palace which although is not a castle, remains a popular tourist attraction, one of the most stunning and magnificent homes in The Cotswolds. The Cotswolds have some of England’s most famous and majestic castles, many with interesting royal connections and historical reports attached. The region stretches across the Cotswold hills in the South- West of England and is only 1 hour and 40 minutes if you are catching a train from London. Steeped in unusual history, the Cotswolds was once famous for being one of the largest areas that contributed to the output of English wool during the Medieval times. It is well-known for ‘The Cotswold Way’, a pretty one hundred miles walk with magnificent breath-taking views that trails along the Cotswold hills. Berkeley Castle Berkeley Castle has greeted royals over the centuries including Edward II, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and the late Queen Mother. The castle was built in 1153 and still belongs to the Berkeley family, remaining a beautiful example of English heritage in the pretty Cotswold countryside. There are many interesting and historical stories about the castle, including that supposedly the murder of Edward II happened there and Midsummers Night’s Dream by Shakespeare was written for a Berkeley family wedding at the castle. The last court jester known in apparently England died at the castle in the Great Hall when he fell from the minstrel’s gallery.

  • Starter Activities
    Gloucestershire Archives Take One Castle GLOUCESTERSHIRE ARCHIVES TAKE ONE CASTLE - PRIMARY TEACHERS’ NOTES INTRODUCTION This resource is intended to allow teachers to use the Gloucester Castle accounts roll in an inspiring, cross-curricular way. It is based on the National Gallery’s Take One Picture programme (see: www.takeonepicture.org.uk), which promotes the use of one picture as a rich and accessible source for cross-curricular learning. The Take One approach follows three stages: imagination, evidence and pupil-led learning. The Take One model was adopted for the use of archive documents by Gloucestershire Archives after the Take One Prisoner project funded by the MLA (Museums, Libraries & Archives) Council. ABOUT THE DOCUMENT The Gloucester castle account roll (Gloucestershire Archives Reference: D4431/2/56/1) is a list of the financial expenditure on the castle that was undertaken by the King’s Custodian of Gloucester castle, Sir Roger de Clifford, from December 1263 to March 1266. It was compiled by de Clifford as a record of the expenditure he undertook to strengthen the castle and its defences as ordered by Prince Edward when he was present in the castle in March 1262. This roll is an original document that was part of the collection of Sir Thomas Phillipps, a 19th century antiquary of Gloucestershire and which is now held at Gloucestershire Archives. Gloucestershire Archives Take One Castle A transcript in English was created in 1976 by Mrs M Watson of Painswick and is also held at Gloucestershire Archives under the reference GMS 152. There exists a shorter duplicate copy of the roll (which omits the names and details of the building works), that was created by a government official in the Crown’s Exchequer soon after the original had been written.

  • Steven Blake
    126 WILLIAM BECKFORD AND FONTHILL ABBEY : A VICTORIAN SHOWMAN'S ACCOUNT Steven Blake Travelling shows were a familiar sight in Britain's towns and cities throughout the nineteenth century - everything from menageries to waxworks, and including such oddities as 'the pig-faced lady', a whale's skeleton and a troupe of 'industrious fleas'.1 One of the largest and, in its day, best known, was John Bellamy's British Model Gallery, a collection of cork and card models of historic British buildings that toured the country in a number of caravans between 1837 and 1893. The models, which were on a scale of one tenth or one twelfth of an inch to one foot, were the work of a Gloucestershire-born model maker and travelling showman named John Bellamy (1808-93). Unusually for such individuals, Bellamy wrote an account of his life, which contains considerable detail about his own career as well as information about many of his contemporaries, including William Beckford.2 Bellamy's memoirs record that after an early career in agriculture and · domestic service he began making models for sale, and then staged his first public exhibition of models at Southampton in March 1834. The exhibits comprised Queen's Lodge in Bushey Park (the residence of King William IV while Duke of Clarence) and Netley Abbey in Hampshire, models which he had made in 1831-2 and 1833-4 respectively, plus other models borrowed from purchasers of his work in the Southampton area. During 1834-6 Bellamy added another five models to his collection, and his second exhibition was held at Cheltenham during June and July 1836.

  • The Fall of Edward II: Failures in Kingship and Masculinity, the Letter of Manuel Fieschi and the Cult of Resurrected Celebrities
    The fall of Edward II: Failures in kingship and masculinity, the letter of Manuel Fieschi and the cult of resurrected celebrities Katie McAdam [email protected] Abstract Edward II is a monarch whose name is almost synonymous with scandal and failure, and the infamous tale of his murder by red-hot poker at Berkeley Castle is one that looms over the bloody history of English royalty. The theories and historiography surrounding his political errors, his sexuality, the nature of his death and even the date of his death have changed continually since the end of his reign in 1327, both to further changing political agendas and to explore new historical narratives. In this paper, medieval gender norms and concepts of masculinity are used to scrutinise the failure of Edward’s reign, and highlight their role in its doom. In the late 19th century, a letter penned by Italian cleric Manuel Fieschi and addressed to Edward III further complicated Edward II’s history. Fieschi claimed that the deposed king escaped his doom in 1327 and went on to tour Europe on a pilgrimage to famous shrines and holy places. This letter is analysed and its likelihood of truth assessed through relevant historiography by multiple historical experts on the topic. This analysis establishes that this adventurous tale of Edward’s escape is almost certainly untrue. However, the narrative does present us with an interesting example of a trope found throughout history of notable people, widely accepted as deceased, secretly living out their lives away from the public eye. The conspiratorial-style narrative of monarchs and famous people living on in secret has its repetitive nature demonstrated through a number of varied examples, both monastic and within popular culture.

(For details see Emery, GMH Vol III, 55-58). Aymer de Valence (1275-1324), Earl of Pembroke, obtained a licence to crenellate in 1315. It is uncertain how much was accomplished before he died in 1324. An initial analysis of the site and the remaining fabric was made by Dr. John Blair (1988). A further visit was made by the writer and Neil Ludlow to look at specific components of the remaining west gatehouse block with a view to clarifying any construction that may have been initiated by Aymer (figs.

  • Berkeley Castle
    Berkeley Castle TWO HISTORIC ATTRACTIONS… …ONE GLORIOUS DAY OUT. A visit to Bristol Cathedral and Berkeley Castle Discover the history of the Berkeley’s, one of the oldest families in England, with a day exploring two iconic sites: the magnificent Bristol Cathedral, founded in 1140 by the first Lord Berkeley, which boasts some of the most important medieval architecture in the UK and Berkeley Castle, the ancient fortress home of the family for almost 900 years, where the history played out within the walls makes it one of the most remarkable buildings in Britain. On arrival at the Cathedral start with a cup of tea or coffee and then join your guide for a tour of this historic building. Bristol Cathedral stands in the middle of Bristol’s vibrant city centre. One of England’s great medieval churches, the Augustinian abbey was founded here in the 12th century. Today the Cathedral boasts some of the most important medieval architecture in the UK – the exquisite Norman Chapter House and the soaring vaults at the medieval East End made Nicholas Pevsner declare that it “superior to anything else built in England or indeed Europe at the same time.” Look out for the medieval stained glass preserved in the cloister, the brightly coloured Eastern Lady Chapel, the Victorian Nave with World War II memorial windows and the Anglo Saxon Harrowing of Hell stone, the oldest object in Bristol. After your visit join the M5 out of Bristol and drive north to Berkeley Castle, approximately 30 minutes away. Surrounded by glorious countryside and a deer park lies one of Britain’s best kept secrets.
