You can discover more about Turner’s Yorkshire at www.yorkshire.com/turner. Turner’s Yorkshire Castles When the artist JMW Turner first stepped foot in Yorkshire, he was quickly drawn to the county’s magnificent castles. Conisbrough Castle, in the very south of the county near Doncaster, was Turner’s second port of call in Yorkshire when he began his 1797 tour of the north. He would go on to sketch at least a dozen Yorkshire castles over the next twenty or so years. Turner’s interest in castles came from his early work as a painter of architecture. In 1797 he was twenty-two and at the beginning of his career. He toured Yorkshire looking for subjects with which to enhance his growing reputation as a painter of romantic abbeys and castles. He visited the castles at Knaresborough, Richmond, Interesting Fact... Spofforth and Harewood, as well as Conisbrough. There Conisbrough Castle © Si Homfray Yorkshire’s Lost History was a growing interest in antiquities and British history in the 18th century amongst the Whitaker’s History of York wealthy, which meant a healthy market in engraved illustrations of was never completed. The antiquarian sites. publisher worried about the cost as it was to be seven volumes with 120 engravings. Then the author died in 1821. The Richmondshire volume was the only one published. Turner used some of his Yorkshire sketches for a series on England and Wales begun in 1827. Spofforth Castle © Si Homfray Turner returned to Yorkshire many times after 1797, often to visit friends at Farnley Hall, near Otley. Scarborough was one place he returned to time and again, drawn to the imposing castle built above dramatic sea cliffs. He stopped off to sketch around the North Yorkshire coast in 1801. The castles at Helmsley and Pickering also made it on to his itinerary that year. His next major tour of the Scarborough Castle county was in 1816 when he was commissioned to draw illustrations for Whitaker’s A Scarborough Castle, Ashmolean Museum, General History of the County University of Oxford of York. www.yorkshire.com/turner Longman’s, the publisher, chose the places, and with such a strong historical theme, it is no Did you know? surprise to find eight castles on Turner’s itinerary. He even Where’s the Watercolour? started with a castle, spending his first day making numerous Turner’s watercolour of sketches of Skipton Castle. He Richmond Castle from the returned to Knaresborough, south is missing. It was lost Richmond, Scarborough and when John Ruskin sold it Richmond, Yorkshire © The Trustees Spofforth where his knowledge sometime before 1878 and of the British Museum of the castles from previous has never been found. visits allowed him to quickly find the views he wanted. He also added visits to Castle Bolton, Middleham and Ravensworth for the first time. Turner’s sketches display his care in accurately depicting the castles’ architectural details in close-up views of ruined walls and towers. He would walk around each castle sketching from different angles in search of the ideal viewpoints, with the intention to turn them into watercolours at a later date. Knaresborough Castle © Si Homfray Richmond Castle © Si Homfray In 1816 he was looking for the definitive view which would be made into an engraving to illustrate Whitaker’s History series. But sometimes an unusual feature caught his eye, such as Conisbrough’s geometrical 12th century keep and Spofforth’s octagonal 14th century tower. He also looked for viewpoints that placed the castles in their Interesting Fact... landscape. At Middleham and Richmond he took to higher Cannons or Axles? ground above the castles to draw sweeping landscapes of Turner painted an iron forge Middleham Castle fields, hills and rivers. near Conisbrough Castle. He painted a large iron object in one corner. It may be an axle for a waterwheel or one of Nelson’s cannons destined www.yorkshire.com/turner for HMS Victory. But more often he found a nearby river with a few waterside buildings he could place in the foreground. He set the pattern for this approach at Conisbrough where he shows the castle keep towering above a mill on the River Don. The mill powered an iron foundry that made cannons for Royal Navy warships. Further north, he shows Richmond castle rising Interesting Fact... majestically above the River Swale from no less Pickering Castle © Britain on View than four different locations.

At Pickering he sketched the castle from record. viewpoints along Pickering Beck, more or less followed later by the line of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Did you know? Bed for a Renegade Queen Bolton Castle was one of the prisons of Mary Queen of Scots. She was held here in 1569. Mills feature once again at Knaresborough where his sketch from the opposite side of the River Nidd gives as much prominence to newly redeveloped cotton mills as to the castle perching on the cliff above. By the time he painted a watercolour of Knaresborough in 1826, Turner moved the mills down Skipton Castle into the shadow of a gorge and included a herder driving cows along a track. A view of Harewood Castle is also from the far side of a river, though here buildings are replaced with a farmer leading a heavily laden hay wagon in front of the ruined 14th century fortified house. As at Knaresborough, Turner usually drew the castles high up and in the background of his work. This makes the castles dominant, as at Scarborough where a watercolour study made in 1801 shows the ruin as an ominous stronghold towering high up on the cliff. Looking up at the battlements is enough to induce vertigo. But Turner usually chooses not to focus on the power and strength of the fortifications. Instead the castles tend to appear as romantic ruins with tumbled walls and fallen battlements as at Knaresborough, Middleham and Ravensworth. In his watercolours, Turner sometimes transforms Yorkshire’s castles into beacons that glow in Ravensworth Castle low sunlight or hazy apparitions peering through morning mist. www.yorkshire.com/turner When Turner left Yorkshire for the last time, he had created a series of sketches and watercolours of the county’s most impressive castles. Interesting Fact... Most of these castles survive today in much the same condition as they were in Turner’s time.

  • A Civil War Hoard from Middleham, North Yorkshire
    A CIVIL WAR HOARD FROM MIDDLEHAM, NORTH YORKSHIRE CRAIG BARCLAY ON 22 June 1993, whilst metal-detecting on land in the vicinity of Cotescue Park, near Middleham in North Yorkshire, Mr. William Caygill uncovered two pottery vessels, each sealed with a flat capstone and each containing a substantial quantity of silver coins. Two days later he uncovered a third pot of coins at a distance of some twenty paces to the west of his original find. Mr Caygill promptly reported his find to the Deputy Coroner, Mr. Jeremy Cave, and on 30 June 1994 the pots and their contents were brought to the Yorkshire Museum for examination.1 Mr. Caygill had taken great care not to mix the contents of the three ceramic vessels and it is accordingly possible to treat each jar and its contents as a separate entity, with the initial find being labelled Pot A and Pot B, and the subsequent find Pot C. A total of 5099 coins were recovered, which can be summarised as follows: Pot A England - 1182 coins: Edward VI: 5 shillings; 1 sixpence Philip & Mary: 8 shillings; 1 sixpence Elizabeth 1: 151 shillings; 340 sixpences; 1 groat James I: 110 shillings; 41 sixpences Charles I: 154 halfcrowns; 320 shillings; 50 sixpences Scotland - 9 coins Ireland - 1 coin Spanish possessions (Europe) - 53 coins Spanish possessions (America) - 2 coins Counterfeit - 16 coins Total: 1263 coins, with face value of £74 17s 8Md Pot B England - 2025 coins: Edward VI: 9 shillings; 1 sixpence Philip & Mary: 6 shillings; 3 sixpences Elizabeth I: 260 shillings; 515 sixpences James I: 196 shillings;

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION. FORMER publications * of the Camden Society have brought before our notice Richard Duke of Gloucester, as continually engaged in the intrigues of a court or the storms of civil war, while for four centuries both his person and character have been the theme of almost universal vituperation. Into these subjects it is not the province of the editor of the present volume to enter; and, in truth, there is now the less occasion for it, since the volumes of Miss Halsted have appeared in the field of literature. This talented and zealous writer has adduced a host of authorities, apparently proving that his personal deformity existed but in the libels of an opposing faction, perpetuated in the pages of the poet and the novelist; while at the same time her researches seem to throw such light over the darker shades in his chequered career, as to induce the strongest presumption that he was not guilty of, or accessory to, those startling crimes which have been charged to his account. The limits, however, of the brief introduction allotted to this work, compel us to turn our attention from scenes of battle and of blood to other, and to us more interesting portions of his history. When, on the partition f of Warwick's vast domains between the sister heiresses, the lordship and manor of Middleharn, with its ancestral castle, became the fair heritage of Gloucester in * Historic of the Arrival of Edward IV. ; Warkworth's Chronicle ; and Polydore Vergil; being Nos. I. X. and XXVIII. of the Camden Society's publications.

In order more fully to illustrate the subject, the Plates have been increased from twelve, as was at first stipulated, to their present number,-and from this, and other causes, the expense of the work has much exceeded his previous calculations. To cover the additional charges, the prices of 6*. 6d. for Small Paper, and 13,. for Large Paper Copies would be requisite,-and, as the number of copies subscribed for, if taken at the original prices of 5s, and 10s. 6d , would subject him to considerable loss, he can only submit the case to the liberality of his Subscribers. » — — ; AN HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIORY CHURCH OF BRIDLINGTON, IN THE EAST RIDING O?

  • The Myth Of'richmond's Little Drummer Boy', Could It Be That Lewis Carroll Came up with the Idea of 'Alice's Adventures Un
    The Myth of ‘Richmond’s Little Drummer Boy’, Could it be that Lewis Carroll came up with the idea of 'Alice's Adventures Underground' from hearing about 'The Legend of the 'Drummer Boy'? Around forty years prior to Lewis Carroll moving to Richmond, North Yorkshire, legend has it that a little drummer boy was lowered underground into a dark deep tunnel that supposedly linked Richmond Castle and Easby Abbey. As a child Lewis grew up with the legend of the 'Drummer Boy', consequently the book he first wrote was originally called, 'Alice's Adventures Underground' before it was renamed 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' © The above picture is the copyright of Green Howards Museum RICHMOND North Riding of Yorkshire Legend has it there used to be a tunnel connecting Easby Abbey to Richmond Castle. After many hundreds of years, the tunnel was rediscovered at the castle, but had been quite damaged over the passing of time; only a small boy could pass through the fallen rubble. A very brave drummer boy volunteered to follow the tunnel and beat his drum as he went, so that the soldiers above could hear him and follow the path of the tunnel to Easby, thereby discovering the Abbey entrance. Half way between the Castle and the Abbey, the drumming came to an abrupt stop, and the brave little soldier was never seen again. Myth has it that the rhythm of the boys drumming sent shivers through the souls of the brave soldiers who followed the beat above. What was of more interest to the Little Drummer Boy was what lay ahead, had the drumming awoken something in the depths below, every hair on the little Drummer Boy’s body tingled electrified by fear, he knew there was something ahead he felt it in every bone in his body, he was only a little boy, but he had the courage of a Lion he continued onward till he came to yet another cavern.
