  • Post-Medieval and Modern Resource Assessment
    THE SOLENT THAMES RESEARCH FRAMEWORK RESOURCE ASSESSMENT POST-MEDIEVAL AND MODERN PERIOD (AD 1540 - ) Jill Hind April 2010 (County contributions by Vicky Basford, Owen Cambridge, Brian Giggins, David Green, David Hopkins, John Rhodes, and Chris Welch; palaeoenvironmental contribution by Mike Allen) Introduction The period from 1540 to the present encompasses a vast amount of change to society, stretching as it does from the end of the feudal medieval system to a multi-cultural, globally oriented state, which increasingly depends on the use of Information Technology. This transition has been punctuated by the protestant reformation of the 16th century, conflicts over religion and power structure, including regicide in the 17th century, the Industrial and Agricultural revolutions of the 18th and early 19th century and a series of major wars. Although land battles have not taken place on British soil since the 18th century, setting aside terrorism, civilians have become increasingly involved in these wars. The period has also seen the development of capitalism, with Britain leading the Industrial Revolution and becoming a major trading nation. Trade was followed by colonisation and by the second half of the 19th century the British Empire included vast areas across the world, despite the independence of the United States in 1783. The second half of the 20th century saw the end of imperialism. London became a centre of global importance as a result of trade and empire, but has maintained its status as a financial centre. The Solent Thames region generally is prosperous, benefiting from relative proximity to London and good communications routes. The Isle of Wight has its own particular issues, but has never been completely isolated from major events.

  • Chastleton House Was Closed Today,The Four Shire Stone
    Chastleton House was closed today Secret Cottage took a Cotswolds tour to Chastleton House today, but unfortunately it was closed for the filming of Wolf Hall and Bringing up the Bodies. Filming started yesterday and will continue until August the 6th. As an alternative, we took our tourists to The Rollright Stones which were nearby and our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. However, we wanted to tell you something about the fabulous Chastleton House. Chastleton House is a fine Jacobean country house built between 1607 and 1612 by a Welsh wool merchant called Walter Jones. The house is built from beautiful local Cotswold stone and is Grade I listed. It was built on the site of an older house by Robert Catesby who masterminded the gunpowder plot! There are many unique features to Chastleton House; one of them being the longevity of the property within one family. In fact, until the National Trust took over the property in 1991, it had remained in the same family for around 400 years. Unlike many tourist attractions, the National Trust have kept this house completely unspoilt – they are conserving it, rather than restoring it. They don’t even have a shop or tea room; giving you the opportunity to truly step back in time. It’s almost like being in a living museum with a large number of the rooms open to the public that are still beautiful and untouched and have escaped the intrusion of being bought into the 21st century. A trip to Chastleton House brings history to life. This house has charm; there is no pretence with making walls perfect or fixing minor problems; expect to find gaps in the walls, cracks in the ceiling, uneven floors, dust and cobwebs in all their glory.
