  • Tewkesbury Abbey Fine and Almost
    Tewkesbury Abbey Fine and almost complete example of a Romanesque abbey church Pre-dates Reading. Dedicated in 1121, the year of Reading’s foundation. Look out for anniversary events at Tewksbury in 2021. But some important and interesting links to Reading Both were Benedictine Founder Robert Fitzhamon (honour of Gloucester), friend of Rufus, supported against Robert Curthose. At his death in the New Forest. Then loyal to Henry I – campaigned in Normandy against supporters of Curthose and died doing so in 1107. Fitzhamon’s heiress Mabel married Robert of Gloucester d 1147, the first and most favoured illegitimate son of Henry I, who was a key supporter of his half sister Matilda Granddaughters were coheiresses – but one of them Hawise (or Isabella of Gloucester) married Prince John. Despite annulment, Tewksbury became a royal abbey Later passed to the de Clares. Earls of Gloucester and Hereford. And made their mausoleum Richard III de Clare (grandson) married Joan of Acre, daughter of Edward I Again co heiresses in the early 14th C. the eldest Eleanor married Hugh Despenser the younger, favourite of Edward II, executed 1326. She is instrumental in making Tewksbury into a Despenser mausoleum (significant rebuilding and splendid tombs) Her great grandson Thomas Despenser marries Constance of York granddaughter of Ed III. A strong link with Reading abbey here as she was buried there in 1416 The Despenser line also ended up with an heiress Isabella who married in turn two men called Richard Beauchamp, the first Richard Beauchamp lord Abergavenny a great friend of Henry V who created him earl of Worcester: but Richard died in the French wars in March 1422; and then his half cousin Richard Beauchamp earl of Warwick, also prominent in the wars in France.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

  • Peter Davenport
    BATH ABBEY Peter Davenport There is no clear evidence as to when the first Christians reached Bath. We know they were here in the 3rd century when they are mentioned in a curse from the Sacred Spring of Sulis Minerva. That curse, employing a variation of what was obviously a legalistic formula, (' .. whether slave or free, Christian or pagan . ') implies that Christians were a recognised part of local society. They may not always have been a very respectable part of society, however. It may be that the local centurion Gaius Severius Emeritus was referring to them when he caused an altar to be erected in the Temple Precinct recording the rededication of this 'holy spot, wrecked by insolent hands'. Although Christianity, having become the majority religion by the end of the Roman period, survived in the areas held by the Britons against the invading Saxons, it does not seem to have done so around Bath after the capture of the region in 577. The Severn was the limit of the territory nominally controlled by the British (or Welsh) bishops that Augustine so disastrously failed to win over to his mission in 598. After the missionary work of St. Augustine and his successors Christianity was again established, especially through the conversion of the Saxon kings (with the expectation that their loyal subjects would emulate them). It is against this background that we can begin our account of Bath's Abbey. The Saxon Abbey The earliest document that the Abbey can produce is a charter dated 675, granted by King Osric of the Hwicce, a sub-grouping 2 PETER DAVENPORT of the Kingdom of Mercia.

  • Jedburgh Abbey Church: the Romanesque Fabric Malcolm Thurlby*
    Proc SocAntiq Scot, 125 (1995), 793-812 Jedburgh Abbey church: the Romanesque fabric Malcolm Thurlby* ABSTRACT The choir of the former Augustinian abbey church at Jedburgh has often been discussed with specific reference to the giant cylindrical columns that rise through the main arcade to support the gallery arches. This adaptation Vitruvianthe of giant order, frequently associated with Romsey Abbey, hereis linked with King Henry foundationI's of Reading Abbey. unusualThe designthe of crossing piers at Jedburgh may also have been inspired by Reading. Plans for a six-part rib vault over the choir, and other aspects of Romanesque Jedburgh, are discussed in association with Lindisfarne Priory, Lastingham Priory, Durham Cathedral MagnusSt and Cathedral, Kirkwall.

  • Brecon Cathedral Website
    Brecon Cathedral Website: http://www.breconcathedral.org.uk/ Brecon Cathedral; 5th- 12th August 2015. Capacity: 12 campers. Brecon Cathedral has a long-standing relationship with CSV Heritage Camps, having hosted a camp every year except one, since 2009. As a Cathedral, they love having the Campers around as they do a fantastic job with enthusiasm and attention to detail, and their hard work is for all to see. The Cathedral was, until the establishment of the Diocese of Swansea and Brecon in 1923, the Parish Church of St John the Evangelist. A Norman Benedictine Priory was founded on the site in 1093 and this became the Parish Church in the 16th century at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries. Because of the nature and type of its location it is thought that the Norman Priory might have been built on the site of an older, possibly Celtic, Church. • The local area Brecon or as it is known in Welsh 'Aberhonddu' (meaning mouth of the Honddu) is a traditional Mid Wales market town nestling in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons National Park in the County of Powys. This magical spot at the confluence of two rivers, the Usk and the Honddu has always been a popular destination, offering visitors spectacular scenery and leisure activities. Brecon remains first and foremost a traditional Mid Wales market town; Brecon Market is an indoor market with 20 stalls - as you will see on any Tuesday or Friday! Brecon has numerous attractions for when campers have time off, including 37 miles of canal, where you can walk or hire a kayak, or you could visit the National Park.
