Book Synopsis The History of the Borough of High Wycombe by : L. J. Ashford
Download or read book The History of the Borough of High Wycombe written by L. J. Ashford and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1960, The History of the Borough of High Wycombe presents the history of an English community, which in the space of some seven hundred years, grew up, flourished and declined and eventually superseded. Even by the standards of the Middle Ages Wycombe was a small town and remained so until very recently. At the beginning of the 19th century, after a hundred years of steady growth, it still contained only about 450 houses. Yet, though small, it was for centuries the only independent borough in Buckinghamshire. John Hampden was closely associated with Wycombe. The Earl of Shelburne, who negotiated peace with the American colonies, was an alderman of the borough. Here Disraeli made his first attempts to enter parliament and lived for many years nearby, at Bradenham and Hughenden. The history of Wycombe is the story of a small, but vigorous and independent community, as rich in character as any biography of an English eccentric. This is an interesting read for scholars of British history.

Book Synopsis The Royal Demesne in English History by : B.P. Wolffe
Download or read book The Royal Demesne in English History written by B.P. Wolffe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-08 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1971, The Royal Demesne in English History shows how Norman and Angevin kings were able to regard the whole of their English kingdom as their royal demesne in the continental medieval sense. The book argues that only through the later loss of their continental possessions were they compelled to show interest in creating special royal estates within their English kingdom, and then only for the members of their families. The power of medieval English kings as landowners provides a constant theme of the highest political importance in the dispensation of royal patronage, but not in the history of government finance. The book discusses how in the later stages of the cumulative creation of the royal family estates, did the idea gain currency in England, that an endowed and inalienable royal landed estate ought to form the basis of monarchical stability and financial solvency. This book forms an interesting and detailed look at the development of the medieval monarchy in terms of land and ownership.

Book Synopsis Buckinghamshire by : Nikolaus Pevsner
Download or read book Buckinghamshire written by Nikolaus Pevsner and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1994-03-11 with total page 908 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This completely new edition reveals a county of contrasts. The semi-rural suburbia of outer-Outer London, with its important early Modern Movement houses, is counterbalanced by magnificent mansions and parks, like idyllic Stowe and the Rothschilds' extravaganza at Waddesdon. The Saxon Church at Wing, the exquisite seventeenth-century Winslow Hall, and Slough's twentieth-century factories all contribute to Buckinghamshire's rich inheritance. In this new edition, the unspoilt centres of small towns, like Amersham and Buckingham, are revisited and Milton Keynes, Britain's last and most ambitious New Town, is explained and explored. The rich diversity of rural buildings, built of stone, brick, timber, and even earth, is investigated with scholarship and discrimination. This accessible and comprehensive guide is prefaced by an illuminating introduction and has many excellent illustrations, plans and maps.

Book Synopsis The Crown's Royal Britain by : Gill Knappett
Download or read book The Crown's Royal Britain written by Gill Knappett and published by Batsford Books. This book was released on 2022-03-10 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join us on a behind-the-scenes tour of the filming locations for the award-winning Netflix series The Crown. The series recreates the romance and intrigue at the heart of our very own royal family and within these pages we seek out the settings so integral to the story, linking each 'fictional' site to its real-life counterpart. Covering the first four series, starting with Princess Elizabeth's marriage to Prince Philip in 1947 and concluding in 1990 – in particular with the relationship of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer following their 1981 wedding – this is the perfect opportunity for every fan of The Crown to follow in the footsteps of royalty. Stunning Ely Cathedral provides the backdrop to the iconic Westminster Abbey where Princess Elizabeth's wedding took place, while Belvoir Castle, Hatfield House and Burghley House are just three of the fine locations that 'double' as Windsor Castle. Historic Winchester Cathedral transforms into St Paul's Cathedral in the run-up to the wedding of Charles and Diana, its versatility also seeing it representing both Romsey Abbey and Westminster Abbey. Sweeping across Britain from London and the home counties to the Welsh treasure that is Caernarfon Castle, heading north to Manchester and Liverpool and onwards to the majestic Scottish Highlands, The Crown's Royal Britain takes you on a royal tour of Britain and the venues that were an inspiration for this special drama. Many of the featured sites are open to the public so as well as learning about how these places played their part you can visit and enjoy the real spectacle in person.
