Gemini가 말하길 웨스트 도싯의 완만한 언덕에서 Broadwindsor에 있는 세례 요한 교회를 발견하면, 고전적인 "느긋한" 분위기의 시골 교회로, 조용한 돌담 안에 놀라운 양의 역사가 담겨 있습니다. 마을 중심부의 높은 곳에 자리 잡고 있으며, 광장을 내려다보며 마치 영원히 지켜온 듯한 모습입니다(사실, 대부분 그렇습니다). 방문할 가치가 있는 이유: 왕실 도망자의 은신처 이 마을의 가장 큰 명성은 숨바꼭질 게임과 관련이 있습니다. 1651년 우스터 전투에서 패배한 후, 찰스 2세는 목숨을 걸고 도망쳐 Broadwindsor에서 하룻밤을 보냈습니다. 왕이 인근 여관(현재 개인 코티지)에 숨어 있는 동안, 의회 군인들이 실제로 마을에 도착하여 수색했습니다. 전설에 따르면 그는 같은 건물에서 한 지역 여성이 출산하는 바람에 혼란스러운 상황이 벌어져 군인들이 그를 찾지 못하고 떠났기 때문에 탈출할 수 있었다고 합니다. 그는 결국 프랑스로 도망쳤지만, 교회는 그 긴장된 밤의 침묵의 증인으로 서 있습니다. "재치 있는" 교구 목사 1630년대에 교회는 토마스 풀러가 이끌었는데, 그는 펜으로 생계를 유지한 최초의 영국 작가 중 한 명으로 묘사됩니다. 그는 "임신한 재치"로 유명했으며, "자선은 집에서 시작되지만 거기서 끝나서는 안 된다"라고 말했습니다. * 오늘날에도 마을은 그를 매우 자랑스럽게 생각하며, 그의 인용문은 종종 길 아래에 있는 지역 커뮤니티 펍인 The White Lion에 새겨져 있습니다. 내부에서 찾아볼 것 "기울어진" 건축물: 교회는 거의 900년에 걸쳐 재건축되고 수리되었기 때문에 다양한 스타일이 혼합되어 있습니다. 네이브 한쪽에는 무겁고 둥근 노르만 아치가 있고 다른 쪽에는 더 뾰족한 "초기 영국" 아치가 있습니다. 이것은 내부에 약간 어울리지 않고 유기적인 느낌을 줍니다. 고대 세례반: 1200년대 초로 거슬러 올라가는 Purbeck Marble로 만든 사각형 세례반이 있습니다. 8세기 동안 마을 아이들을 세례하는 데 사용되었습니다. 종: 탑에는 6개의 종이 있습니다. 그중 일부는 "종교 개혁 이전"으로, 헨리 8세가 로마에서 분리되기 전부터 탑에서 흔들리고 있었습니다. "타협" 시계: 낮에 가면 시계 소리를 들을 수 있습니다. 밤에 울려야 하는지에 대한 최근 지역 논쟁이 있었습니다. 매우 "영국 마을"다운 움직임으로 타협했습니다. 이제 이웃이 잠을 잘 수 있도록 밤 9시부터 오전 6시까지 조용히 유지됩니다!

Castle Neroche is a significant historical site in Somerset, England, located on the northern escarpment of the Blackdown Hills. It is not a standing stone castle today, but rather a complex of impressive earthworks that reveal a long history of use.

Donyatt Halt Records for Donyatt Halt state: "This halt, opened on May 5th, 1928, has a single platform edged with wooden sleepers, and a small wooden shelter. A pathway leads up from the platform to the road, which crosses the line by an overbridge at the Ilminster end of the platform. An ornate oil lamp stands at the top of the path and there are various posts with brackets for hanging oil lamps in winter." It would be the guard's duty to light and extinguish these lamps. Five trains a day operated in each direction taking about 45 minutes for the 15 - mile journey from Taunton to Chard, having made stops at Thornfalcon, Hatch, Ilton, Ilminster and Donyatt.

The photo is not correct. It's a pretty stream and ford, not a canal!

Ditto on the rigid steel :-)

Beautiful panoramic views across miles upon miles of countryside.

Norman castle The earthworks at the site are larger than would normally be found in a castle from the Norman period, raising speculation that it reused previously developed features. The castle was probably built by Robert, Count of Mortain in the 11th century. Archaeological evidence suggests it was built in several stages. During the first a rampart enclosing 7.5 acres (3.0 ha) was built. Soon after the Norman Conquest a smaller inner ringwork was constructed. The site was later converted into a motte and bailey, with a corner of the 20 feet (6.1 m) high motte serving as a barbican. By the early 12th century the castle was no longer in regular use. However, its use was resumed during The Anarchy, a period of civil war and unsettled government during a succession dispute between the supporters of King Stephen (1135–1154) and those of his cousin, the Empress Matilda. Continued use in the later 12th century may have been by administrators of the surrounding royal forest as a base for operations against poachers.

Castle Neroche is a Norman motte-and-bailey castle on the site of an earlier hill fort in the parish of Curland, near Staple Fitzpaine, Somerset, England. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The origin of the term Neroche is believed to be a contraction of the Old English words nierra and rechich or rachich for Rache, a type of hunting-dog used in Britain in the Middle Ages, giving a meaning of the camp where hunting dogs were kept. This also gives the site its alternative name of Castle Rache. Iron Age The reason for the construction of Iron Age hill forts has been a subject of debate. It has been argued that they could have been military sites constructed in response to invasion from continental Europe, sites built by invaders, or a military reaction to social tensions caused by an increasing population and consequent pressure on agriculture. The dominant view since the 1960s has been that the increasing use of iron led to social changes in Britain. Deposits of iron ore were separated from the sources of tin and copper necessary to make bronze, and as a result trading patterns shifted and the old elites lost their economic and social status. Archaeologist Barry Cunliffe believes that population increase played a role and has stated "[the forts] provided defensive possibilities for the community at those times when the stress [of an increasing population] burst out into open warfare. But I wouldn't see them as having been built because there was a state of war. They would be functional as defensive strongholds when there were tensions and undoubtedly some of them were attacked and destroyed, but this was not the only, or even the most significant, factor in their construction.
