Flint cottages, Church Tower and remains of Bramber Castle Entrance Tower, Bramber, West Sussex, England."><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54990651092_f92bd171bd_m.jpg" width="240" height="146" alt="You can tell we are in Chalk country. Flint cottages, Church Tower and remains of Bramber Castle Entrance Tower, Bramber, West Sussex, England." /></a></p> <p>Commentary.<br /> <br /> Many times, I have seen the remains of Bramber Castle from the village.<br /> On this day, I took the time to explore this Norman relic.<br /> Bramber, like neighbouring Steyning, lies in the valley of the River Adur.<br /> When William 1 conquered England in 1066, he decided to defend all river valleys running north-south towards the coast through the South Downs.<br /> He called each strip of land a “Rape.”<br /> One of his loyal and highly regarded Lords was William de Braose.<br /> He allowed him to build Bramber Castle and village as his own.<br /> On a small chalk and flint hill, west of the river and north of the village, he had ditches dug up to 6 metres deep around a “Bailey” or living area, amounting to 2 or 3 acres.<br /> Much of the soil and rock removed was piled up at the northern end of the Bailey to form a steep, defensive mound or “Motte,” upon which would have stood a wooden palisade and tower or “Keep.”<br /> As with many Norman Castles this stop-gap defence<br /> was eventually replaced by stone towers, Curtain Walls<br /> and Entrance Towers.<br /> Around the Bailey there are still a few small remnants of the Curtain Wall.<br /> The only substantial relic is a part of the Entrance Tower on the south side of the site.<br /> It probably exceeds 30 metres or 100 foot in height.<br /> I was surprised how large this site was in what is a relatively small village.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/144291588@N06/">Scotland by NJC.</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/144291588@N06/54991535566/" title="Palace House by the River Beaulieu in the village of Beaulieu, Hampshire."><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54991535566_62a2b17b09_m.jpg" width="240" height="175" alt="Palace House by the River Beaulieu in the village of Beaulieu, Hampshire." /></a></p> <p>Commentary.<br /> <br /> Beaulieu is a very unspoiled village in the south-east corner of The New Forest.<br /> Running through it, is the splendid River Beaulieu,<br /> meandering south for 8-9 miles to the sea.<br /> The origins of this settlement don’t start with the village,<br /> but with the nearby Monastery/Abbey,<br /> a ruin since the Dissolution of the Monasteries, by Henry V111.<br /> Started in 1203/04 by King John, it was populated by 30 French Monks.<br /> It became an important Cistercian centre until the 16th. Century.<br /> Indeed, to emphasize its grandeur and importance,<br /> the present Palace House started as a Gatehouse to the Abbey!<br /> Re-designed and extended several times it is now a fine example of a Victorian Stately Manor House.<br /> It still houses the present Lord and Lady Montagu, <br /> whose ancestors have lived on this site since 1538.<br /> In 1952 the 3rd. Baron Montagu created the British National Motor Museum adjacent to the house and Abbey ruins.<br /> He did this in honour of his father who had been a pioneer in the development of cars.<br /> It is now a very popular venue, in its own right.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/161483044@N07/">rohantstevens</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/161483044@N07/54991504911/" title="Loch Shiel Scotland"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54991504911_9efc83a3fb_m.jpg" width="240" height="147" alt="Loch Shiel Scotland" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/144291588@N06/">Scotland by NJC.</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/144291588@N06/54991637498/" title="Looking across the Moray Firth to the Black Isle from the main beach at Nairn, Highland Region, Scotland."><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54991637498_c4d384246e_m.jpg" width="240" height="141" alt="Looking across the Moray Firth to the Black Isle from the main beach at Nairn, Highland Region, Scotland." /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/91461004@N06/">MikeONeil</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91461004@N06/54991697090/" title="Nativity play"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54991697090_0579f61369_m.jpg" width="240" height="181" alt="Nativity play" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/carsten_tb/">10b travelling (sorry: glitch, so resubmitting)</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/carsten_tb/54991565778/" title="Nick Cave at O2 - support act Black Country, New Road"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54991565778_4ae9c598d4_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Nick Cave at O2 - support act Black Country, New Road" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/carsten_tb/">10b travelling (sorry: glitch, so resubmitting)</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/carsten_tb/54991678020/" title="Nick Cave at O2"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54991678020_edbe1b236d_m.jpg" width="240" height="108" alt="Nick Cave at O2" /></a></p>
