Substantial remains of the church and adjoining east claustral range of the Dominican friary (Blackfriars) founded 1239 by Sir Stephen de Hermshall (Harnhill) and largely built with funds and materials donated by King Henry III; consecrated 1284; late C14 alterations principally to church. After dissolution of the friary the church reduced in size and remodelled in conversion to house, and the claustral buildings converted as a cloth manufactory, for Sir Thomas Bell, a merchant cloth maker and draper; various alterations in C18, C19 and C20 for multiple domestic and commercial uses; from c1960 an Ancient Monument in the care of the Ministry of Works and successor government departments with the implementation of a programme of conservation continued since 1964 by English Heritage for public display and use of the building. Friary buildings of stone rubble with dressed stone features, added structure in ashlar for conversion to house, roofs relaid c1970 in plain tile, with stone slate verges to the roofs of the former church. PLAN: originally a cruciform church comprising a long chancel, crossing with north and south transepts, and an aisled nave. In C16 conversion to house the former chancel and nave were truncated and closed by gable-end walls with central projecting chimney-stacks; the north nave aisle completely and the south aisle partially demolished, and the nave arcades infilled and partly refaced; a large canted bay window added at the west end of the north wall; the former chancel remodelled with new fenestration to form the great hall, and floors and partitions inserted into the former transepts and nave to form chambers; the south transept subsequently demolished. In mid C20, following the removal of internal post-medieval features, the south side of the former crossing was closed by a glazed, steel frame screen, c1970. The north end of the east claustral range abuts the south wall of the chancel on the east side of the south transept. The southern end of the east range, including the former chapter house, is demolished. EXTERIOR: the north side of the church remodelled 1540-45 as the main front of the house and altered in late C18 when the house was divided into two dwellings; two storeys and attic with a central projecting wing (the former north transept of the church); to left of the wing two large four-light mullioned windows inserted to light the great hall (the former chancel). The gable-end of the central wing has corner buttresses set back from canted angles; the infill in the former C14 large gable-end window is pierced for late C18 sashes, three sashes to each of the former two floors and one lighting the former attic, all of similar size and framed in mahogany with glazing bars (3x4 panes) and a trefoiled head to each pane, the window openings now blocked internally; in the north wall of the wing a reset C14 three-light window with restored tracery. INTERIOR: since 1960 all post medieval floors and partitions removed to expose the proportions of the church and surviving medieval features. These include portions of the moulded C14 crossing piers, C14 flying arches in the west wall of the north transept, and in the east bay of the north arcade of the nave an arch inserted to support the north-west pier of the crossing when the former central tower was rebuilt; remains of C13 piers in the nave are largely concealed by C16 infill; in the chancel evidence of C13 arcading originally framing lancet windows above a continuous string course on the north wall and on part of the south wall. The C16 walls blocking the truncated ends of the former nave and chancel retain moulded chimney pieces at the former ground and first-floor levels of the house, on either side on each floor, mullioned windows with arched heads to the lights. Above the nave and chancel is a remarkable surviving example of an open timber roof with C13, close-set scissor trusses. The north end of the east range has doors and windows of various dates and C13 timber scissor trusses in the open roof. Scheduled Ancient Monument in guardianship since 1960.

  • 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.

  • Brian Knight
    STRATEGY, MISSION AND PEOPLE IN A RURAL DIOCESE A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE DIOCESE OF GLOUCESTER 1863-1923 BRIAN KNIGHT A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities August, 2002 11 Strategy, Mission and People in a Rural Diocese A critical examination of the Diocese of Gloucester 1863-1923 Abstract A study of the relationship between the people of Gloucestershire and the Church of England diocese of Gloucester under two bishops, Charles John Ellicott and Edgar Charles Sumner Gibson who presided over a mainly rural diocese, predominantly of small parishes with populations under 2,000. Drawing largely on reports and statistics from individual parishes, the study recalls an era in which the class structure was a dominant factor. The framework of the diocese, with its small villages, many of them presided over by a squire, helped to perpetuate a quasi-feudal system which made sharp distinctions between leaders and led. It is shown how for most of this period Church leaders deliberately chose to ally themselves with the power and influence of the wealthy and cultured levels of society and ostensibly to further their interests. The consequence was that they failed to understand and alienated a large proportion of the lower orders, who were effectively excluded from any involvement in the Church's affairs. Both bishops over-estimated the influence of the Church on the general population but with the twentieth century came the realisation that the working man and women of all classes had qualities which could be adapted to the Church's service and a wider lay involvement was strongly encouraged.
