諾里奇城堡合集 EP2|諾曼城堡遺跡
【 #貝兒廚房冷知識 】
上集有解釋Castle Acre 是地名所以叫城堡城堡「Castle Acre Castle」。
順便分享冷知識😎有些英國古地名都會這樣,像 Torpenhow Hill直翻就是「hill hill hill hill」:
古英語 (Tor)、布萊森語 (pen)、古諾斯語 (how) 和現代英語 (hill) ,意思為「山-山-山-山」😎
Castle Acre完整保存將近 1000 年歷史的村落。
本集先帶大家看看11世紀的諾曼城堡遺跡Castle Acre Castle 🏰
雖然現在看起來荒涼,但在中世紀,這曾是重要的戰略據點也是貿易密集的村落。
Castle Acre 這個小村莊其實歷史密度非常高:
•Ep.2: Castle Acre Castle 城堡遺跡
•Ep.3: Bailey Gate 中世紀城門
•Ep.4: St James the Great Church 教堂
•Ep.5: Castle Acre Priory 修道院
因為保存非常完整,
也吸引許多歷史迷特地來看遺跡。
這集先帶大家看 城堡遺跡,
下一集Ep.3會走到 舊城門 Bailey Gate。

Return to the medieval times with me 🌿
Last week I paid Castle Acre Priory a visit and my oh my was it a dream 💭
📖 Castle Acre Priory was founded in 1089 by William de Warenne, the 2nd Earl of Surrey, and his wife, Gundreda. It was established as a house of the Cluniac order, a Benedictine monastic reform movement.
🏰 Today, Castle Acre Priory stands as picturesque ruins, with the most significant surviving structure being the Cluniac church. The ruins provide a glimpse into the architecture and history of medieval religious life.
🔖 Tip for your visit: If you’re like me and always keen on having the whole place to yourself, I highly recommend you arrive either before 11am or after 2pm, which are usually when the priory is the most quiet and you’ll get to enjoy the ruins in all of its glory, with very few or no other visitors around!

Castle Acre Castle was built shortly after the Norman Conquest around the 1070s by William de Warenne, one of William the Conqueror’s most trusted allies. From this imposing fortress, the Warenne family controlled vast estates across Norfolk and helped shape one of England’s earliest planned medieval towns.
Although the castle fell into ruin centuries ago, its enormous earthworks, gatehouses, and surviving remains still offer a remarkable glimpse into the power and ambition of Norman England.

What to do with Linda 👀
I bought Linda after feeling bad about any damage to Lewis off-roading — a solid engine and chassis, and not much else.
I’ve got some maintenance to do — but not sure longer term what to make her into. I’ll be switching back to AT’s after winter, and fitting some extended arches, but I’m not sure whether to go down the road of new panels & paint or keep her rough and ready so I don’t worry about laning her.

Come with me in a whistle-stop tour of Castle Acre.
I noticed when we were there on Saturday that the pub, The Ostrich, had closed down, which is a great pity.
Luckily, we still have a pub that we go to in our village. Do you still have a 'local'?
