Download or read book Acton Court written by Kirsty A. Rodwell and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1535 Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn visited Acton Court in southern Gloucestershire, the home of the favoured courtier Nicholas Poyntz. Built in the 13th century, on an older structure, by the Acton family, the moated manor was transformed by Nicholas and his father into the grand Tudor mansion that we can see large sections of today. This illustrated volume presents the results of `above- and below-ground archaeology'. The demolished parts of the house were excavated while the unique 16th-century features inside the house, such as painted friezes, are studied in detail. It was also during the excavation that the moat was rediscovered. With each section contributed by a specialist, the volume discusses the history and restoration of the house, before examining in detail the archaeological and structural remnants for each phase and part of the house, focusing on the evidence from the time of Henry's visit. Specialist reports also examine the finds including architectural fragments (including a rare sundial from the early 16th century), building material, woodwork, decorative plaster, graffiti (including sketches of ships), pottery, glass, coins, dress accessories, organic and animal remains, and longbows.
Book Synopsis Historic Gardens of Gloucestershire by : Tim Mowl
Download or read book Historic Gardens of Gloucestershire written by Tim Mowl and published by History Press Limited. This book was released on 2002 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the size of the county, stretching from the Cotswolds, through the Vale of Gloucester to the Forest of Dean, and the richness and variety of its parks and gardens, this is the first full history of the gardens of Gloucestershire. Timothy Mowl describes the creation of designed landscapes and gardens in Gloucestershire from medieval times to the present day, taking in the formal gardens of the late seventeenth century; Georgian Arcadia; the Gardenesque of the Regency; Victorian Arboreta; the Arts & Crafts garden and twentieth-century gardens. Throughout the emphasis equally on designers and patrons, aesthetics and practicalities. As the reader will discover, the county is particularly rich in Georgian, and good modern, gardens. But with such well-known delights as Thornbury Castle, Badminton, Sezincote, Batsford Park, Westonbirt, Hidcote and Highfield, the visitor is spoilt for choice which is one reason why the full annotated gazetteer is so helpful.

Download or read book Hazleton North written by Alan Saville and published by English Heritage. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hazleton North is an Early Neolithic chambered long cairn of the Cotswold-Severn group, which was selected for total excavation between 1979 and 1982 after survey showed continued damage from ploughing. This trapezoidal long cairn is an example of the laterally-chambered type of tomb with two very similar L-shaped chambered areas near its centre, entered from opposite sides of the monument. Particular attention is given to two aspects which make Hazleton North of outstanding importance for the study of Neolithic chambered cairns in Britain: the details of the cairn construction and the burial remains. The account is supported by a full range of specialist studies, including analysis of the artefacts, human and animal bones, plant and molluscan remains, soils, geology, and numerous radiocarbon samples, and is concluded by a discussion of the results of the excavation and its significance for the study of Cotswold-Severn cairns and the earlier Neolithic of the region.

Book Synopsis Johannes Kip, The Gloucestershire Engravings by : Anthea Jones
Download or read book Johannes Kip, The Gloucestershire Engravings written by Anthea Jones and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three hundred years ago, in 1721, the 'Dutch engraver' Johannes Kip (or John Kip, his anglicised name) dropped down dead in St John's Street, Westminster, bringing to a sudden end his career in England of more than thirty years as a renowned printmaker. Gloucestershire owes him a special commemoration in 2021 as the draughtsman and also engraver of sixty-four prints commissioned in the early eighteenth century by Sir Robert Atkyns for The Ancient and Present State of Glostershire. The majority of the prints contain an architectural-style drawing of a gentleman's 'Seat', but each is a treasure trove of other features in the surrounding scene. The short commentary which accompanies a large-sized reproduction of each print in this book has pointers to the details and to the history of the house and the family. Kip's work as the engraver of houses drawn or painted by a fellow Dutchman, Leendert Knyff (generally known as Leonard Knyff), is well-known; his unique collection of Gloucestershire prints is not. This book, based on the collaborative work of people with an interest in one or more prints, and the accumulated information of the Gloucestershire Gardens and Landscape Trust, reveals the significance of Kip's work. There are examples here of old houses and relatively new houses, large houses and relatively modest ones, the houses of aristocrats but more often of Gloucestershire gentry, of elaborate gardens and extensive estates, of splendid views reaching to the shipping on the rivers bounding the county on the west, or more limited ones of local hills. Two engravings of Gloucester are presented first, and then the sequence of parishes starts with Wick Court, appropriately the least altered of all the houses portrayed. Johannes Kip: The Gloucestershire Engravings is a contribution to the history of the county, to knowledge of the gardens, which in many cases still reflect Kip's engravings, to the unique history of many of the houses which survive three hundred years later, and to the riches of the Gloucestershire countryside.
