Dryslwyn Castle

During the ensuing English occupation, although there was much repair work undertaken from time to time, there was very little new building. The castle was very deliberately decommissioned in the early 15th century. The passage through the outer, or main gatehouse was walled up, and access into the basement of the round tower was also blocked

Within the inner ward, substantial walls were raised overlooking the Tywi; the hall (later described as ‘the King’s Hall’) was remodelled; a series of apartments was built adjoining the hall, with a projecting chapel tower at the eastern end; and there was a newly mortared courtyard at the centre of the complex. Alongside this work, Rhys also added a third (outer) ward to the castle. All in all, by 1287 Rhys had made Dryslwyn one of the largest masonry castles ever raised by native Welsh lords, a structure impressive enough to rival any number of strongholds raised by Anglo-Norman and English lords of the March.

In the wake of Rhys ap Maredudd’s revolt of 1287, there was a swift, well coordinated, and effective English reaction. With Edward I out of the country, it was left to his lieutenant in England, Earl Edmund of Cornwall, to take the lead. A great army was to be assembled at Carmarthen, and on 16 July writs were dispatched to the lords of the March to raise their forces.  In addition, the besiegers were attempting to undermine the castle walls. Tradition records that they brought down a large section near the projecting chapel block. The mining was marred by the collapse of a wall, crushing to death a group of nobles who were inspecting the work, including the earl of Stafford, Sir William de Monte Caniso, and Sir John de Bonvillars.

The earliest castle at Dryslwyn was probably raised during the second quarter of the 13th century. The buildings included the round tower or keep, with an adjoining polygonal ward enclosed with a curtain wall, and with a simple gateway entrance on the north-east side. Inside this castle there was a single large hall - the great hall - with open ground and bedrock to the north, and a small cluster of wooden buildings to the east. South of the hall was a small stone building, probably a kitchen, with a hearth, In the north-west corner, between the great hall and the curtain wall, another small structure was probably used as a prison.The castle was captured by 5 September, and although Rhys ap Maredudd escaped, his wife and son were captured. The siege undoubtedly caused extensive damage to the castle, and repairs were carried out shortly afterwards.

Next we move to Edward Jenner museum click down

Edward Jenner museum

Edward Jenner was born in Berkeley in 1749. Orphaned before he was 5 years old, his brothers and sisters set him on a career in medicine. He completed his training with the great surgeon John Hunter at St. George's Hospital in London. At the age of 23 he returned to Berkeley as the local doctor, leaving only to maintain smaller practices in London and Cheltenham. "The Chantry" became his home for 38 years. http://www.dursley-cotswolds-uk.com/Entrance.html? Click here to go to tower of London

The Tower of London

Top historic attractions in England have lost out on overseas visitors because of the high value of the pound, according to the English Tourism Council (ETC). Key sites such as the Tower of London, Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace saw a drop in tourist numbers in 1999.Click here to go to London bridge

LONDON BRIDGE

History of London Bridge London town (as it was now called) retained its preeminence after the Norman Conquest, which began in 1066. Though William the Conqueror had himself crowned at Westminster Abbey, he distrusted the Saxon populace of the city, and constructed a number of fortresses within the city walls, including still extant portions of Westminster Hall and the Tower of London.

London Bridge

In 1176 work began on a new stone bridge to replace the wooden one, which the Romans had built a thousand years before. The new bridge (which, in its turn, acquired the name of Old London Bridge) was completed in 1209, and would be in existence until 1832, remaining the only bridge across the Thames until 1750.

The History Of the Roman and Saxon Bridges

In 1014, when the Danes held London, the Saxons, under King Ethelred The Unready, were joined by a band of Vikings from Norway led by their King Olaf. Together they sailed up the Thames to attack the Bridge and divide the Danes. But the Danes stood on the bridge hurling spears downon the open ships.

Next we move to Cambridge University click here

Cambridge University, Cambridge King’s

College Chapel is the only completed part of the college as it was conceived by Henry VI in 1441. Completed around 1515, the chapel is an important example of the Perpendicular style. The interior is notable for its stained glass, vaulting, and choir screen and stalls. The university was founded in the 13th century, and is one of the most prestigious universities in the world. Now we enjoy Cardiff Bay click here

Cardiff Bay

Cardiff Bay has one of the greatest tidal ranges in the world, causing extensive mudflats to be revealed at

low tide. The new Cardiff Barrage, due to be completed in the late 1990s, will provide a completely different environment, to the concern of many environmentalists. The mudflats will

be permanently inundated, destroying important feeding grounds for large numbers of wading birds.
