Great Houses, Moats and Mills on the South Bank of the Thames
Author: Simon Blatherwick
Publisher: Mola (Museum of London Archaeology)
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Regeneration in the 1980s-90s on the south bank of the Thames resulted in archaeological and historical investigations at Platform Wharf, Rotherhithe, and next to London Bridge, in Southwark. The development of both sites from the 14th century is of major interest. The Rotherhithe property was acquired c 1349 by Edward III and the existing house rebuilt by him in 1353-61 with two courts, including a riverside range of apartments. Royal interest ceased after Edward's reign, and the house passed to Bermondsey Priory in 1399. The fragmentation of the site into smaller properties, including ones with industrial uses, is charted. The Southwark site contained three notable residences during the medieval period and tidal mills on the waterfront. The 14th-century moated house of the Dunley family and a pleasure-house built by Edward II, the Rosary, were both acquired by Sir John Fastolf for his own grand London residence in the 1440s. In the later 16th century there was massive immigration into this part of Southwark and by the mid 17th century the former moats and gardens were built over with small properties and alleys. The moat infills produced exceptionally rich assemblages of domestic artefacts and ceramics, the waterside location preserved a wide variety of plants, timber structures and woodworking evidence.

The English Castle
Author: A. Hamilton Thompson
Publisher: Courier Corporation
ISBN: 0486164349
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
Once a seat of government as well as the private residence of its owners, the medieval castle was also a military base and stronghold for the surrounding geographical area. The development of these sturdy fortifications in England during the Middle Ages is carefully examined in this profusely illustrated book. From early chapters dealing with primitive earthworks and Roman stations, the text goes on to explore the construction of the English castle following the Norman Conquest, the beginnings of the stone castle and the Norman keep, bastions of the thirteenth century, military architecture, fortified towns in the later Middle Ages, and more. Students of architecture, military history, and medieval studies—as well as anyone interested in the evolution of castle construction—will find this work a fascinating and valuable reference.

Acton Court
Author: Kirsty A. Rodwell
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 486
Book Description
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.
