20의 로담가지 명소 & 주요 장소

둠즈데이 북에는 1086년 콜윅에 교회와 사제가 있었다고 기록되어 있습니다. 현재 폐허로 남아 있는 교회는 16세기에 존 바이런 경이 대부분 지었지만, 이전 교회의 14세기 및 15세기 부분을 통합하고 있습니다. 당시 건물은 평범한 탑이 아닌 첨탑을 가지고 있었을 것입니다. 1912년까지 교회의 지붕은 좋지 않은 상태였습니다. 수리로 건물이 몇 년 동안 다시 사용할 수 있게 되었지만, 교회의 상태는 계속 악화되었고 1920년까지 겨울에는 일부 예배가 학교 교실에서 열렸고 나중에는 새로 지은 교구 회관에서 열렸습니다. 1923년부터 일부 결혼식이 교구 회관에서 거행되었습니다. 1924년 3월, 빗물받이가 수리되고 벽에 모르타르가 발라졌습니다. 지붕은 다시 수리되었지만 상태는 계속 우려를 낳았고, 1933년에 교회는 위험하다는 이유로 버려졌습니다. 1936년 3월에 안전하지 않다는 이유로 최종적으로 폐쇄되었고, 1936년 11월에는 지붕의 주요 대들보가 무너졌습니다.

The former Maythorne Mill, its former workers’ cottages and its ancillary buildings, plus a farm, form the greater part of this small hamlet. It was a cotton mill built in 1785 to supply the framework knitting industry with yarns. The speculator that built Maythorne was a Southwell hop merchant. In the early C19th the mill was adapted to produce silk and lace thread. There was also a Mission Hall, a pub & general store. The mainly female workforce was required to wind silk on bobbins, form it into shanks before it was finally washed and pressed and despatched to Nottingham. However, yarn & thread products were not the only items produced here as osier beds provided willow for basket-making and hops were also grown locally. From 1939-45 the mill was used to billet soldiers and in 1948 the land & buildings were put to agricultural use. the mill building has been converted into residential flats & some workshops in various outbuildings. The mill wheel was powered by the River Greet.

The earliest church on the site is believed to have been founded in 627 by Paulinus, the first Archbishop of York, when he visited the area while baptising believers in the River Trent. The legend is commemorated in the Minster's baptistry window. In 956 King Eadwig gave land in Southwell to Oskytel, Archbishop of York, on which a minster church was established. The Domesday Book of 1086 recorded the Southwell manor in great detail. The Norman reconstruction of the church began in 1108, probably as a rebuilding of the Anglo-Saxon church, starting at the east end so that the high altar could be used as soon as possible and the Saxon building was dismantled as work progressed. Many stones from this earlier Anglo-Saxon church were reused in the construction. The church was originally attached to the Archbishop of York's Palace which stood next door and is now ruined.

The now derelict St John the Baptist Church was built by Sir John Byron in the 16th century, incorporating 14th and 15th century sections from an earlier church. It was restored again in 1684 by Sir John Musters and was in use until the mid-1930s when it was no longer repaired, the nave roof collapsed and it was abandoned as dangerous and left to ruin. source: https://travellerj.com/2018/12/18/ruins-of-st-johns-church/

Features now restored in the middle of the wood, including small gap-jumps with chicken line, flowing great (April 2022).

Unfortunately the Forestry Commission have been into Watchwood and removed all the man-made features (jumps) from the downhill runs. However the trails are still rideable & fun, plenty of berms still in place. (July 2021)

well worth a visit

Absolutely worth the slog is the downhill charge into Southwell. This climb is featured in Simon Warren’s greatest climbs series. It’s tough but doable.
