The Dance, c.1905 by Gertrude Kasebier
Peveril Castle Derbyshire, England by Brownie Bear
Build shortly after the Norman Conquest (1066-1072 CE), Peveril Castle stands out as one of the few Norman castles to be built originally in stone rather than timber. The castle fell into the hands of the crown following the civil war known as The Anarchy (1135-1153). It remained more-or-less a royal property until its decline in the 15th century.Ā

The oldest door in Britain in Westminster Abbey -Ā a 900-year-old door was put in place in the 1050s, during the reign of the Abbeyās founder, Edward the Confessor. The door, which measures 6.5ft by 4ft, was made from one tree which probably grew between AD 924 and 1030. Simon Thurley, of English Heritage, said: āIt is incredible to think that when the door was made the Norman Conquest had not yet happened and William of Normandy was still a young man of about 20.ā

Tales from the Green Valley in Summer
Meanwhile, as the alcohol flowed freely, race meetings often erupted into violence. Usually, it took the form of common brawling, but, according to the Birmingham Mercury, in 1855 the day at Aston Park ended with eleven thousand ruffians dividing into two gangs of āBritishā and 'Russiansā to re-enact the battles of the Crimea, with many of the participants ripping up the fence posts around the race course to use as weapons. The action spread into the neighbouring town, and sixteen people were hospitalized.
How to be a Victorian by Ruth Goodman
(via nothwell)
In a unique experiment, historian Ruth Goodman, Professor Nick Barber and PhD student Tom Quick are recreating an authentic 19th-century pharmacy. The team discover the world of the pharmacy at the beginning of Queen Victoria's reign in 1837; a world where traditional remedies, such as leeches, oil of earthworm and potions laced with cannabis and opium, held sway. After sampling some of the old ways, the team venture into new discoveries, such as the Malvern water cure, the bronchial kettle for curing coughs, and the invention of Indian tonic water.
The link is for episode one (focusing on the period from 1837) - subsequent episodes explore the 1850s and 60s (episode two), 1868 (episode three), and the end of the Victorian era (episode four)

Since it came up, let me talk about really fun things about The Middle Ages.
First thing you need to remember is, The Middle Ages lasted 1000 years, so they did this or they did that, isnāt really a viable universal statement about anything (1000 years ago was in the middle of The Middle Ages).
Now, time for some of my favorite misconceptions. The Back Death lead to people not bathing in water (more on that shortly), and not the other way around. Until The Black Death, bathing was really popular, and soap was being produced on a near industrial level, bathing with guests was considered polite in high society. Then came the plague. People with literally no concept of germs starting trying to figure out why is spread, and two different theories about illness ended up pointing their finger at bathing in water. Bathing opened up the pores, and let in bad humours or miasma (theĀ ābad smells make you sickā theory, and cause people to get sick.
But, if youāve noticed Iāve saidĀ ābathing in waterā thatās actually for a specific reason. People still bathed, just differently than they do today. There were a few things involved with it, one was undergarments. If you look into medieval dress at all, youāll always notices things like the chemise, and stockingsā¦these were ideally made of linen and the layer closest to your skin was washed at least weekly (even for peasants), the reason for this is the linen absorbed bodily oils and dirt. People also vigorously scrubbed their skin with linen cloths, and hair was cleaned by combing out any debris, then brushing it to distribute the oils (the natural materials like wood, and boarās bristle acts very differently than our metal and plastic). You know thatĀ ābrush your hair 100 strokesā thing you hear? Yep it served a purpose. And Ruth Goodman, a historian focused on domestic history actually tried it for three months in modern life, and no one could tell the difference if she kept it up at noble standards. Later for a show she did called Tudor Farm she went back to non-water bathing again, but at peasant standards, and any body odor was mild enough that it was covered up by the smell of wood smoke.
