  • The Early Effects of Gunpowder on Fortress Design: a Lasting Impact
    The Early Effects of Gunpowder on Fortress Design: A Lasting Impact MATTHEW BAILEY COLLEGE OF THE HOLY CROSS The introduction of gunpowder did not immediately transform the battlefields of Europe. Designers of fortifications only had to respond to the destructive threats of siege warfare, and witnessing the technical failures of early gunpowder weaponry would hardly have convinced a European magnate to bolster his defenses. This essay follows the advancement of gunpowder tactics in late medieval and early Renaissance Europe. In particular, it focuses on Edward III’s employment of primitive ordnance during the Hundred Years’ War, the role of artillery in the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople, and the organizational challenges of effectively implementing gunpowder as late as the end of the fifteenth century. This essay also seeks to illustrate the nature of the development of fortification in response to the emerging threat of gunpowder siege weaponry, including the architectural theories of the early Renaissance Italians, Henry VIII’s English artillery forts of the mid-sixteenth century, and the evolution of the angle bastion. The article concludes with a short discussion of the longevity and lasting relevance of the fortification technologies developed during the late medieval and early Renaissance eras. The castle was an inseparable component of medieval warfare. Since Duke William of Normandy’s 1066 conquest of Anglo-Saxon England, the construction of castles had become the earmark of medieval territorial expansion. These fortifications were not simply stone squares with round towers adorning the corners. Edward I’s massive castle building program in Wales, for example, resulted in fortifications so visually disparate that one might assume they were from different time periods.1 Medieval engineers had built upon castle technology for centuries by 1500, and the introduction of gunpowder weaponry to the battlefields of Europe foreshadowed a revision of the basics of fortress design.

  • 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.

  • Camp Santanoni, NY
    Camp Santanoni, New York August 16 - 28, 2015 Project Partner: Adirondack Architectural Heritage History: In the late 1800s, Robert and Anna Pruyn bought property along Newcombe Lake in the Adirondacks and developed it into a family estate that served as a refuge in nature from their urban life in Albany. With the growing American middle class in the 1800s, these family retreats grew in popularity. Families, like the Pruyn family, no longer looked at the American Wilderness as something to be tamed and conquered but something to be preserved and appreciated. The Pruyns had a love for the outdoors and bought this property on Newcombe Lake due to its isolation. Anna’s love of nature came from her childhood growing up in the Adirondacks. Robert spent many years in Japan as a youth, and as a result, he came to appreciate the Japanese reverence for wildlife and the integration of nature into culture. This Japanese inuence can be seen in the overall plan which places the buildings in a way that blends them with the contours of the natural landscape. The property was segmented into four areas: the Great Camp, gate lodge complex, service complex and a model farm. The family would often invite guests to enjoy the property, and even had Theodore Roosevelt stay with them. Decades after Robert and Anna’s death, the Pruyn children sold Santanoni to the Melvin family. Crandall and Myron Melvin continued to use the property as a family retreat, but did not hire a staff, like the Pruyns, to maintain the property. The Melvins spent less of their time engaged in leisure activities, and more time was spent on the preservation and maintenance of the property buildings.

  • Lakes to Locks Passage Visitor Information System
    LAKES TO LOCKS PASSAGE VISITOR INFORMATION SYSTEM Lakes to Locks Passage consists of four sub‐regions ‐‐ Champlain Canal/Upper Hudson River, Lake George, and Lake Champlain in New York and the Richelieu Valley in Quebec. The bi‐national quality of the region not only fully integrates the shared heritage and resources, it strengthens the appeal of the entire region as a national and international destination for travelers. However, the size of the region, distinct sub‐regional character, and complex interpretive story creates a challenge to unify the corridor and provide a “seamless experience” for the visitor. To address this challenge, Lakes to Locks Passage (LTLP) delivers the visitor experience through a hierarchy of visitor information and interpretive facilities that interconnect the communities and their stories. The key feature of the system is the network of LTLP Waypoint Communities, the cities, villages or hamlets that have the ability to “meet and greet” the byway visitor. They all offer lodging, dining and shopping opportunities and are developing infrastructure for visitor information and interpretive centers, as well as intermodal transportation connections, encouraging visitors to stop, walk, bike, and boat the Byway. Waypoint Communities serve as a “hub” for surrounding towns, hamlets, and countryside. Each Waypoint Community provides: • A physical or functional relationship to the LTLP “experience” and resources • Access to cultural attractions, natural and historic features, recreation opportunities • Lodging and dining opportunities • Shopping and access to local products • Interpreted walking, biking, hiking and/or boating opportunities The primary delivery point for building the emotional and intellectual connection between the traveler and the place they have come to visit is through the LTLP Heritage Centers located in each Waypoint Community.
