It argues that the architectural drawing techniques developed by master masons in the late twelfth century continued to be taught to the King’s masons well into the sixteenth, and that these drawing techniques lie behind the innovations in sixteenth century topographical mapping.

  • Segar Stream River Itchen
    Segar Stream River Itchen An advisory visit carried out by the Wild Trout Trust – January 2011 1 1. Introduction This report is the output of a Wild Trout Trust advisory visit undertaken on the Segar Stream which is a carrier of the River Itchen in Hampshire. The advisory visit was undertaken at the request of the Portsmouth Services Fly Fishing Club which has been invited to lease the fishing rights. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Robin Bray, Anthony Kennett and Mark Kerr from the fishing club. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification i.e. banks are designated Left Bank (LB) or Right Bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. 2. Catchment overview The River Itchen is considered to be one of the finest examples of a chalk river in Europe and one of the most famous brown trout (Salmo trutta) fisheries in the world. The river is designated as Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) (Appendix 1). The Itchen rises from the chalk aquifer to the east of Winchester where groundwater fed springs feed into three headwater streams; the Alre, the Candover and the Tichbourne, or Cheriton Stream. The streams converge near Alresford and flow south west, through the centre of Winchester and on to join the sea in Southampton. The river is characterised by a plethora of man-made channels, some dug to provide milling power, some to support the old Itchen Navigation canal and others to feed the network of water meadow carriers.

  • English Coast Defences
    ENGLISH COAST DEFENCES GEORGE CLINCH PART I ENGLISH COAST DEFENCES PREHISTORIC CAMPS Round the coast of England there are many prehistoric earthworks of great extent and strength. These fall generally under the heads of hill-top fortresses and promontory camps. The works comprised under the former head are so arranged as to take the greatest possible advantage of natural hill-tops, often of large size. On the line where the comparatively level top developed into a more or less precipitous slope a deep ditch was dug, and the earth so removed was in most cases thrown outwards so as to form a rampart which increased the original difficulties of the sloping hill-side. The latter type of earthwork, called promontory camps from their natural conformation, were strengthened by the digging of a deep ditch, so as to cut off the promontory from the main table-land from which it projected, and in some cases the sides of the camp were made more precipitous by artificial scarping. An examination of these types of earthworks leads to the conclusion that they were probably tribal enclosures for the safe-guarding of cattle, etc.; that, strictly speaking, they were not military works at all, and, in any case, had no relation to national defence against enemies coming over-sea. One finds in different parts of the country a prevalent tradition that the Romans occupied the more ancient British hill-top strongholds, and the name “Caesar‟s Camp” is popularly applied to many of them. If such an occupation really took place it was, in all probability, only of a temporary character.

  • Post-Medieval & Modern Berkshire & Hampshire
    POST MEDIEVAL AND MODERN (INDUSTRIAL, MILITARY, INSTITUTIONS AND DESIGNED LANDSCAPES) HAMPSHIRE AND BERKSHIRE David Hopkins November 2006 Introduction Hampshire. Hampshire is dominated by the chalk landscape which runs in a broad belt, east west, across the middle of the county. The northern edge runs through Pilot Hill and Basingstoke, the southern edge through Kings Somborne and Horndean. These are large, open and fertile landscapes dominated by agriculture. Agriculture is the principle force behind the character of the landscape and the evolution of the transport network and such industry as exists. There are large vistas, with nucleated villages, isolated farms and large extents of formal enclosure. Market towns developed linked by transport routes. Small scale processing using the water power available from streams was supported by, and eventually replaced by, growing industrialisation in some towns, usually those where modern transport (such as rail) allowed development. These towns expanded and changed in character, whilst other less well placed towns continue to retain their market town character. North and south of the chalk are bands of tertiary deposits, sands, gravels and clays. Less fertile and less easy to farm for much of their history they have been dominated by Royal Forest. Their release from forest and small scale nature of the agricultural development has lead to a medieval landscape, with dispersed settlement and common edge settlement with frequent small scale isolated farms. The geology does provide opportunities for extractive industry, and the cheapness of the land, and in the north the proximity to London, led to the establishment of military training areas, and parks and gardens developed by London’s new wealthy classes.

  • The Hospital of St Cross, Winchester
    The Hospital of St Cross, Winchester Symposium on the Choir Stalls following their recent restoration Tuesday 28 October 2014 9.45 am to 4.45 pm The Hospital of St Cross is an almshouse situated in the water meadows south of Winchester. The Hospital was founded c. 1135 by Henry of Blois but the only surviving architecture from his day are the eastern parts of the church, which did not attain its present appearance until the fifteenth century. In the 1440s Cardinal Beaufort founded on the same site an Almshouse of Noble Poverty, to run in parallel with the earlier institution, sharing the same church. This venture eventually foundered, and the brothers of the original hospital moved from their old quarters into Beaufort’s quadrangle of Brothers’ quarters; they also took over the use of the Hall, originally the Master’s private hall, which Beaufort had updated. Also surviving from Beaufort’s day are the Outer Court and his fine inner gate. The Hospital remains a living almshouse today Within the Church there is a highly important set of Renaissance choir stalls. Dating from the early 16th century these once formed an enclosed space within the chancel. Modern research has shown that the carving of the choir stalls is of the highest importance and quality. It is now known that they were carved by French craftsmen and the carvings are amongst the earliest Renaissance style woodcarvings in England. However over the centuries they were moved on many occasions including a relocation during restoration work by William Butterfield in the 1860s.
