During my visit to Dover Castle, I captured many images of the castle, at least the parts that were open to the public. There is much to cover, so hopefully, I can share some images focusing on specific areas every week. Today's post is on St Mary in Castro. This Saxon church was built on Castle Hill in the 10th century. As it stands today, the church of St Mary is a much-restored example of a Saxon church dating from around 1000 AD. It is surrounded by a large late Saxon cemetery which implies that this church supersedes an earlier structure. In 597, St Augustine was sent by Pope Gregory I to England to convert the Saxons into Christianity. Augustine landed in eastern Kent and managed to convert Etherburt, who gave him land in Canterbury. Etherburt made Kent the dominant force in England during his reign; however, his son's ascension to the throne was viewed as a setback since he did not convert to Christianity for as many as eight years after becoming king. When he converted, the church insisted that he separate from his first wife, his stepmother. In 1000 AD, the church was reconstructed next to a Roman lighthouse that was later converted to a bell tower. .⁠ .⁠ #sonya7riv #2470gmaster #uk_shooters #littlepiecesofbritain #map_of_europe #ukmyworld #europestyle_uk #worldcaptures #shooters #capturingbritain #eclectic_shotz #moodygrams #stayandwander #YourBritain #bestcastles #britishcastles #StMaryinCastro #saxonchurch #britisharchitecture #kentengland #dover #whitecliffsofdover #kentcoast #englishhistory #englishchannel (at Dover Castle England U.K) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN1uBf1MDt1/?igshid=2azfcbw8cliu

Some more images of Castle Acre Priory. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring this location and learning it's history. I know I don't post as often as if like, but with lock down restrictions lifting hopefully that will change soon! I hope everyone has a great day and let me know which image you like most! . . #sonya7riii #2470gmaster #uk_shooters #littlepiecesofbritain #map_of_europe #ukmyworld #europestyle_uk #worldcaptures #shooters #capturingbritain #eclectic_shotz #moodygrams #stayandwander #YourBritain #castleacre #castleacrepriory #castlephotography #igersnorfolk #norfolkphotographer #norfolkphotography #norfolkhistory #norfolkpriory (at Castle Acre Priory) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNMUCJMsVdp/?igshid=12vstihdguuxh

This image of Castle Acre Priory was taken in the fall of 2019 and, despite being mainly in ruins, is one of the well-preserved monastic sites in England. The priory originates from the 11th century after William de Warenne II, and his wife Gundrada visited the great French monastery of Cluny. They were fascinated and determined to build comparable ones to introduce monks' Cluniac order to England. The architectural and decorative features preserved in the upstanding ruins of the church and claustral structures, and most notably in the church's west front, provide a remarkable example of the style characteristic of Cluniac monasteries. .⁠ .⁠ #sonya7riii #2470gmaster #uk_shooters #littlepiecesofbritain #map_of_europe #ukmyworld #europestyle_uk #worldcaptures #shooters #capturingbritain #eclectic_shotz #moodygrams #stayandwander #YourBritain #castleacre #castleacrepriory #castlephotography #igersnorfolk #norfolkphotographer #norfolkphotography #norfolkhistory #norfolkpriory (at Castle Acre Priory) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM9TgA2MNDf/?igshid=jo3dvq7aiqnp

Just opposite the image of Cliffords Tower is Skeldergate Bridge. The bridge had been designed in a 'Gothic Revival' style by George Gordon Page and was constructed between 1878 and 1881. The small arch at the east end of the bridge had a section that opened to allow tall-masted ships through to the quays on either side of the river between Skeldergate and Ouse Bridges. This lifting section was powered by machinery in the 'motor house,' which also served as a toll house and accommodation for the toll keeper and his family. The bridge's tolls were lifted on April 1st, 1914, and to commemorate this event, a large party and celebration took place. The bridge was later reconstructed and strengthened from 1938 to 1939, and the bridge and the attached toll house are now listed buildings. The bridge lifting mechanism was used for the last time in 1975 when it was removed, and the building is now used as a cafe. .⁠ .⁠ #sonya7riii #2470gmaster #uk_shooters #littlepiecesofbritain #map_of_europe #ukmyworld #europestyle_uk #worldcaptures #shooters #capturingbritain #eclectic_shotz #moodygrams #stayandwander #YourBritain #Skeldergatebridge #Cliffordstower #yorkuk #visityork #onlyinyork #1ukshot #yorkshirephotography (at York, England) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMovK6rsR9G/?igshid=1pqq78a4i0xk6

The 11th century Cliffords Tower. In 1190 around 150 of Yorks Jewish community took shelter here from an angry mob. Here they commited mass suicide rather than face the mob. ⁠In 1322 Lord Robert Clifford was taken captive by Sir Andrew. Edward II had Lord Clifford hanged in chains on the walls.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #sonya7riii #2470gmaster #uk_shooters #littlepiecesofbritain #map_of_europe #ukmyworld #europestyle_uk #worldcaptures #shooters #capturingbritain #eclectic_shotz #moodygrams #stayandwander #YourBritain #Cliffordstower #yorkuk #visityork #onlyinyork #1ukshot (at York, England) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMePvw0MuEc/?igshid=6cwm24xguavn
