Notes: Seems Grose was not impressed:.The gate is by travellers, generally noticed as a curiosity, not for the beauty, but extreme singularity of its form.From the whimsical taste of its construction, it was probably erected about the time of Elizabeth, or James the first; a period when architecture seems to have been at its lowest ebb; the buildings of those days being neither Grecian or Gothick, but an unnatural and discordant jumble of both."

Notes: Portchester Castle is a medieval castle built within a former Roman fort at Portchester to the east of Fareham in the English county of Hampshire. It is located at the northern end of Portsmouth Harbour. Probably founded in the late 11th century, Portchester was a baronial castle taken under royal control in 1154. The monarchy controlled the castle for several centuries and it was a favoured hunting lodge of King John. It was besieged and captured by the French in 1216 before permanently returning to English control shortly thereafter. Occupying a commanding position at the head of Portsmouth Harbour, in the medieval period Portchester was an important port. The castle saw the disembarkation for several campaigns to France led by England's kings. In anticipation of a French invasion during the first quarter of the 14th century, Edward II spent £1,100 repairing and reinforcing Portchester Castle. A plot to overthrow Henry V was discovered and the culprits apprehended at Portchester; this event features in Shakespeare's play, Henry V. Later in its history, the castle was used as a prison. The strategic importance of Portchester has been recognised since at least the 3rd century when a Roman fort was established on the site of the later castle. Though it is uncertain exactly when the fort was constructed, it is thought that it was built by Marcus Aurelius Carausius on the instructions of emperor Diocletian between 285 and 290.[5] It was one of several forts built along the British coast in the period to combat raids by pirates. Portchester was probably a base from which the Classis Britannica, the Roman fleet defending Britain, operated.[6] It is the best preserved Roman fort north of the Alps. Although the Roman army retreated from Britain in the early 5th century, it is unlikely that the fort was ever completely abandoned, although its use continued on a much smaller scale. A 10th-century hall and tower were discovered within the fort, suggesting it was a high-status residence during the Saxon period. In 904, Portchester came into the possession of King Edward the Elder and the fort became a burh to help defend the country against Vikings. Today Portchester Castle is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, and a Grade I listed building. The castle has been in the ownership of the Southwick Estate since the 17th century but is managed by English Heritage and open to visitors throughout the year. The Norman church, St. Mary's, which stands in the south-east corner of the grounds, falls within the Anglican Diocese of Portsmouth.

Notes: Haughmond Abbey (locally HOH-m?nd) is a ruined, medieval, Augustinian monastery a few miles from Shrewsbury, England. It was probably founded in the early 12th century and was closely associated with the FitzAlan family, who became Earls of Arundel, and some of their wealthier vassals and allies. It was a substantial, successful and wealthy house for most of its four centuries, although evidence of abuses appeared before its dissolution in 1539. The buildings fell into disrepair and the church was largely destroyed, although the remains of some of the domestic buildings remain impressive. The site is now in the care of English Heritage and is open to the public during the summer. [For all of our prints by Francis Grose enter PRBGROSE in Key words] [QP].

Notes: Norwich Castle is a medieval royal fortification in the city of Norwich, in the English county of Norfolk. It was founded in the aftermath of the Norman conquest of England when William the Conqueror (1066-1087) ordered its construction because he wished to have a fortified place in the town of Norwich. It proved to be his only castle in East Anglia. In 1894 the Norwich Museum moved to Norwich Castle and it has been a museum ever since. The museum & art gallery holds significant objects from the region, especially works of art, archaeological finds and natural history specimens. The Castle was founded by William the Conqueror some time between 1066 and 1075. It originally took the form of a motte and bailey.[1] Early in 1067, William the Conqueror embarked on a campaign to subjugate East Anglia, and according to military historian R. Allen Brown it was probably around this time that the castle was founded. It was first recorded in 1075, when Ralph de Gael, Earl of Norfolk, rebelled against William the Conqueror and Norwich was held by his men. A siege was undertaken, but ended when the garrison secured promises that they would not be harmed. [For all of our prints by Francis Grose enter PRBGROSE in Key words] [QP].

Engraved by Sparrow for Grose's Antiquities of England and Wales from a drawing by Grose in 1776. Notes: The School of Pythagoras is the oldest building in St John's College, Cambridge, and the oldest secular building in Cambridge, England. To the north is Northampton Street. The School of Pythagoras was originally built around 1200, before even the University of Cambridge existed. It also predates St John's College, which was founded in 1511. It was initially a private house, but over the centuries it has had many uses. For a period it was a ruin. The reason for the name is unclear. In the 16th century, a small manor house was added to its west side. This is now used for graduate student accommodation. It is known as Merton Hall. From 1266 until 1959 the School of Pythagoras and later Merton Hall were owned by Merton College, Oxford. The School of Pythagoras is now used as the College Archive Centre.

Notes: None of the abbey's buildings remain, but archaeological investigations were carried out between 1973-94 on land cleared for the Jubilee line extension, which terminates at Stratford and has train sheds in the area. 674 burials were excavated from the Cistercian cemetery and reburied at Mount St. Bernard Abbey in Leicestershire. Excavation continues on the site as the remaining former factories are redeveloped. The latest, at Bakers Row, was in early 2008 and identified the former gatehouse of the Abbey - to the north east of the Abbey Church and defining the eastern edge of the precinct. This area, where former council stables were situated, is now protected from further development by Scheduled Ancient Monument status and a major community garden designed by artists Karen Guthrie and Nina Pope of the artists' collective Somewhere has been created on the site by the "Friends of Abbey Gardens" [For all of our prints by Francis Grose enter PRBGROSE in Key words] [QP].

Notes: Grose gives no indication of the depridations of the church tower as drawn by him. More recent information states: "The most intriguing thing about the church is that the west tower is ruined, so the church bell is set upon a timber frame on the ground. The ruined walls of the tower are covered in ivy, making an unforgettably romantic picture. Apparently, the tower fell on a fateful day in 1821, killing an unfortunate cow wandering beneath."

Sparrow for Grose's Antiquities of England and Wales from a drawing by Grose in 1775 Notes: The Lady chapel was preserved by use as a roofed farm building during the 18th century, and was re-thatched as a place of worship during the 20th century. Excavations during the 1980s established the position of the lost south wall and turret of the brick entrance-gate structure, and explored the interior of the reredorter building. In a separate investigation, the interior of the presumed abbey Guest Hall was excavated. Two long upstanding medieval walls had survived: they are incorporated into a new structure for the use of Pro Corda. [For all of our prints by Francis Grose enter PRBGROSE in Key words] [QP].

The engraving measures 12.5 cm x 17.75 cm including plate mark - over all with text 23cm x 33cm. Engraved by Record for Grose's Antiquities of England and Wales from a drawing by Grose in 1775 Notes: In 1926 the Gatehouse was purchased by Dr Montague Rendall. Having discovered Butley Priory Gatehouse by chance he set about its restoration, the research of its history and heraldry, and the investigation of the priory's archaeology. The architect W.D. Caröe, who had worked with him at Winchester, conducted the restoration in consultation with him in 1926. The original passage through the building was transformed into one large room, cutting away Victorian partitions, laying open the glories of the original vault, and infilling the archways with glazed timber frames. Caröe went through the entire building methodically and wrote an informative account of his observations and solutions. He remarked, "the first thought has been for the preservation and display of antiquity. Almost nothing has been introduced for which there was no definite authority. Nothing ancient has been removed." He was also able to preserve some Elizabethan panelling and a fine Georgian staircase, and some heraldic elements from the Forth era. Dr Rendall invited his former pupil J.N.L. Myres to conduct the excavations of 1931-1933, The restoration entirely exhausted Dr Rendall's finances, but a most generous neighbour purchased the freehold, allowing him to remain there for the remainder of his life.

Engraved by Sparrow for Grose's Antiquities of England and Wales from a drawing by Grose in 1779. Notes: Grose notes that "" the title of King john's House, an appellation common to many ancient structures, in which that king had no concern;King John and the Devil being the founders , to whom the vulgar impute most of the ancient bnuildings, mounds and entrenchments, for which they cannot assign any other constructor with this distinction, that to the king ar given most of the mansions , castles and other buildings, whilst the devil is supposed to have amused himself chiefly in earthen works." The house was built by the St. John family so its title may be a corruption over time. [For all of our prints by Francis Grose enter PRBGROSE in Key words] [QP].

Engraved by Sparrow for Grose's Antiquities of England and Wales from a drawing by Grose in 1780 Notes: The site remained owned by the church until 1552 when John Poynet, Bishop of Winchester surrendered the manor to the Crown. It was then granted to Sir Philip Hoby and subsequently passed through numerous private owners but the ruined castle was never rebuilt and little now remains other than earthworks and small amounts of masonry. The grounds were used for military training during both World Wars. [For all of our prints by Francis Grose enter PRBGROSE in Key words] [QP].

In 1540, after the Dissolution of the Monasteries, Henry VIII granted the land to Sir Richard Lee, a soldier, engineer and member of the king's court. Sir Richard Lee demolished the nunnery and built a house on its foundations. The romantic ruins you see today are all that remain of Sir Richard Lee's Tudor mansion.
