The Pond Is Most Beautiful, with a Willow at One BLOOMSBURY SET, CHARLESTON FARMHOUSE You may not have heard of Vanessa Bell but you certainly would have heard of Renoir, Picasso or Delacroix. What do these great artists all have in common? The amazing Farmhouse known as Charleston in East Sussex, where you can see their artwork and more at Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell’s homestead. For the art lover, historian and gardener it is a feast of colour providing a truly magical experience. A rural treasure with amazing ceramics, unique hand painted furniture and the perfume coming from the Mediterranean inspired garden. Of course, it has a rather colourful past, being run as a farm by concientious objectors of WW1 who produced food for the war effort. It was a home from home for Vanessa’s sister Virginia Woolf, who used to pop over from Monks House at Rodmell near Lewes. Charleston’s famous visitors brought their own complicated love combinations with the likes of E. M. Forster, Lytton Strachey and Roger Fry that might even today make visitors blush with their antics of high spirits, laughter and jolly jinks. Don’t forget to ask about the who’s been with who in the Dining Room! Gosh! Nevertheless, Charleston is not just about the past. It is as relevant today as it was when the Bloomsbury Set first arrived. There are many events happening that will interest a variety of Bloomsbury “The pond is most beautiful, followers as well as those keen to support this charity. The ‘Festival of the Garden’ at the end of July is one such event where a host with a willow at one side and a of acclaimed landscape artists talk about photography to poetry stone or flint wall edging it all touching on traditions old and new. round the garden part, and a With a Kent and Sussex break, there is a wealth of things to see and do with the Glyndebourne Opera house close by near Lewes, or little lawn sloping down to it, why not pop down the road to Brighton or Eastbourne. with formal bushes on it.” www.charleston.org.uk Vanessa Bell Photo and Words by Graeme Atack In the castle grounds, you can locate the wooden statue of Bodiam Castle Sir Edward himself.

  • CSG Bibliog 24
    CASTLE STUDIES: RECENT PUBLICATIONS – 29 (2016) By Dr Gillian Scott with the assistance of Dr John R. Kenyon Introduction Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the CSG annual bibliography, this year containing over 150 references to keep us all busy. I must apologise for the delay in getting the bibliography to members. This volume covers publications up to mid- August of this year and is for the most part written as if to be published last year. Next year’s bibliography (No.30 2017) is already up and running. I seem to have come across several papers this year that could be viewed as on the periphery of our area of interest. For example the papers in the latest Ulster Journal of Archaeology on the forts of the Nine Years War, the various papers in the special edition of Architectural Heritage and Eric Johnson’s paper on moated sites in Medieval Archaeology. I have listed most of these even if inclusion stretches the definition of ‘Castle’ somewhat. It’s a hard thing to define anyway and I’m sure most of you will be interested in these papers. I apologise if you find my decisions regarding inclusion and non-inclusion a bit haphazard, particularly when it comes to the 17th century and so-called ‘Palace’ and ‘Fort’ sites. If these are your particular area of interest you might think that I have missed some items. If so, do let me know. In a similar vein I was contacted this year by Bruce Coplestone-Crow regarding several of his papers over the last few years that haven’t been included in the bibliography.

  • The Manors of Allexton, Appleby and Ashby Folville
    The Manors of Allexton, Appleby and Ashby Folville. BY GEORGE FARNHAM, M.A., F.S.A., AND A. HAMILTON THOMPSON, M.A., F.S.A. PREFACE. Since the appearance of Nichols' History of Leicestershire, pub­ lished between 1795 and 1815, the materials for original work upon local history and topography have been considerably extended, and many classes of documents are now available for research which serve at once to supplement and correct the information contained in the older county histories.. While Nichols' famous volumes must always remain the foundation for any future work upon the history of Leicestershire, the student who knows how to make use of them finds that their statements constantly stand in need of verification and that their accuracy is seriously impaired by their author's partial and arbitrary use of his documents. For some time past the present writers have entertained the idea of bringing together the results of their several collections of material illus­ trating the manorial and ecclesiastical annals of the county, and it will be found that the notes which follow in the form of con­ nected narratives endeavour to fill up gaps in the story of the three places concerned and to present in consecutive order information which hitherto has been treated merely in outline or overlooked altogether. For the chief part of the work, tracing the descent of the manors, and for the pedigrees Mr. Farnham is responsible. The notes upon advowsons and the lists of incumbents, which con­ siderably amplify Nichols' imperfect and carelessly compiled lists, are supplied by his collaborator.

  • The Building Accounts of Kirby Muxloe Castle, 1480-1484
    THE BUILDING ACCOUNTS OE KIEBT! MUXLOE CASTLE. 193 THE BUILDING ACCOUNTS OF KIRBY MUXLOE CASTLE, 1480-1484. EDITED, WITH AN INTRODUCTION AND NOTES, BY A. HAMILTON THOMPSON, M.A., F.S.A. INTRODUCTION. A brief description of the MS. volume of accounts, of which a summary edition follows here, has been given already in our Transactions by Mr. T. H. Fosbrooke, together with a photo­ graphic reproduction of two of its leaves.3 It will be remembered that it is the record of the weekly expenses disbursed in connexion with the rebuilding or, as the steward who cast up the accounts more accurately calls it, the repair of the castle of Kirby Muxloe. Since the discovery of the MS., it has been examined by Mr. C. R. Peers, Professor Lethaby and other architectural scholars ; but it has remained untranscribed and unedited. Early in 1917 the present writer was enabled, through the good offices of his friend Mr. Fosbrooke, to undertake the task ; and the results are now presented to members of our Society. The work begun in October, 1480, by order of William, lord Hastings, was the transformation of the manor-house or small castle which already existed at Kirby into a fortified dwelling of considerable size and importance. We know nothing ot the earlier building apart from the few indications contained in the accounts, which show that it stood on part of the present site and that its hall was retained when the new inner court was made. Lord Hastings' work included the formation of this inner court, the castle proper, which he surrounded with a moat and a brick wall.

  • Pre-1500 Military Sites Scheduling Selection Guide Summary
    Pre-1500 Military Sites Scheduling Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s scheduling selection guides help to define which archaeological sites are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. For archaeological sites and monuments, they are divided into categories ranging from Agriculture to Utilities and complement the listing selection guides for buildings. Scheduling is applied only to sites of national importance, and even then only if it is the best means of protection. Only deliberately created structures, features and remains can be scheduled. The scheduling selection guides are supplemented by the Introductions to Heritage Assets which provide more detailed considerations of specific archaeological sites and monuments. This selection guide offers an overview of archaeological monuments or sites designed to have a military function and likely to be deemed to have national importance, and sets out criteria to establish for which of those scheduling may be appropriate. The guide aims to do two things: to set these sites within their historical context, and to give an introduction to some of the overarching and more specific designation considerations. This document has been prepared by Listing Group. It is one is of a series of 18 documents. This edition published by Historic England July 2018.
