Wikipedia: The building was completed by 1263 and belongs to the Order of Conventual Franciscan friars. During the occupation of Italy by the French Revolutionary Army, the church was desecrated in 1796 and the friary was seized and used as a barracks by the occupying forces. It was seized again in the course of the Second Italian War of Independence and used as a military storehouse. It was finally returned to the Franciscans in 1886. The restoration of the church to its original aspect was carried out under the supervision of Alfonso Rubbiani, an expert in restoration, and was completed in 1919.
The Convent of Christ (Portuguese: Convento de Cristo/Mosteiro de Cristo) is a former Roman Catholic convent in Tomar, Portugal. Originally a 12th-century Templar stronghold, when the order was dissolved in the 14th century the Portuguese branch was turned into the Knights of the Order of Christ, that later supported Portugal's maritime discoveries of the 15th century. The convent and castle complex is a historic and cultural monument and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983
Fiddleford Mill House survives well as a good example of its class and listed as Grade I.
Pevsner described it as ‘the most spectacular medieval manor house interior in Dorset’
The main parts of the house are quite grand for its time and the main features give an impression of what a medieval Dorset house may have been like.
It’s unusual in that much of what can be seen represents the original 14th century building, the timber roof is largely original and many of the interior features have been retained.
The 14th century Manorial Residence includes the hall, two storey solar and the remains of the west range. The standing buildings include part of the hall and the solar.
'The roof trusses are standard West Country construction, collar beams arched braces, with two tiers of wind-braces against the rafters.
Bold cusping of wind-braces and decorated panels above the collar, boldly cut out in trefoils and quatrefoils, elaborate the system and many Ogee curves.'
The stonework in the hall is creamy Marnhull Limestone and was remodelled in the C16th by Thomas White and is entirely gothic in style.
When first constructed, the room had only an open fire with the smoke being drawn up through a louvre truss which would have marked the centre of the hall before its shortening in the 17th century, when the fireplace and chimney were constructed in the new east wall.
An old postcard and an antique sale drew us to the ancient market hall in Calvados, Normandy. But there was something slightly odd about the hall, just how old was it? What had happened to it in 1944?

'The solar roof is more elaborate than the Hall with the wind-braces sub-cusped, longitudinal braces spring from the collars and there are horizontal braces too, all arched and cusped.
The solar roof is a 'triumph' creating a complex spatial effect.'

It is believed that there was a Celtic Christian church called Lanprobi here as early as AD658 when it was part of the Celtic Kingdom of Dumnonia,nd Kenwalc or Cenwalh, King of the West Saxons is believed to be one of its founder.
The Benedictine foundation ended in 1539, and various properties at Sherborne were bought from the king by Sir John Horsey who then sold the abbey to the people of Sherborne, who bought the building to be their parish church. The original parish church alongside the abbey was demolished, though the foundations are still visible.
In 1550, King Edward VI issued a new charter to the school that had existed at Sherborne since 705, and some of the remaining abbey buildings were turned over to it.
Several architectural styles throughout. Saxon features still remain in some parts of the Abbey, mainly around the Western door. Roger of Caen demolished most of the Saxon church and replaced it with a much larger, Norman style church.
The Lady Chapel and Bishop Robert's Chapel were added in the 13th century in the Early English style, and in the 15th century, the choir section was rebuilt in the Perpendicular style, including the fan-vaulting Sherborne is still famous for.
