A visit to Dunster Castle and Gardens.
Arriving at Dunster Castle.
Dunster Castle is a former motte and bailey castle, now a country house, in the village of Dunster, Somerset, England. The castle lies on the top of a steep hill called the Tor, and has been fortified since the late Anglo-Saxon period. After the Norman conquest of England in the 11th century, William de Mohun constructed a timber castle on the site as part of the pacification of Somerset. A stone shell keep was built on the motte by the start of the 12th century, and the castle survived a siege during the early years of the Anarchy. At the end of the 14th century the de Mohuns sold the castle to the Luttrell family, who continued to occupy the property until the late 20th century.
The castle was expanded several times by the Luttrell family during the 17th and 18th centuries; they built a large manor house within the Lower Ward of the castle in 1617, and this was extensively modernised, first during the 1680s and then during the 1760s. The medieval castle walls were mostly destroyed following the siege of Dunster Castle at the end of the English Civil War, when Parliament ordered the defences to be slighted to prevent their further use. In the 1860s and 1870s, the architect Anthony Salvin was employed to remodel the castle to fit Victorian tastes; this work extensively changed the appearance of Dunster to make it appear more Gothic and Picturesque.
Following the death of Alexander Luttrell in 1944, the family was unable to afford the death duties on his estate. The castle and surrounding lands were sold off to a property firm, the family continuing to live in the castle as tenants. The Luttrells bought back the castle in 1954, but in 1976 Colonel Walter Luttrell gave Dunster Castle and most of its contents to the National Trust, which operates it as a tourist attraction. It is a Grade I listed building and scheduled monument.

Built originally by William de Mohun in the 11th century. Of the Norman castle no
trace remains, the oldest surviving feature is the 13th century Gateway flanked on
either side by a semi-circular tower with a vaulted chamber at ground floor level
lit by arrow loops. Adjoining the gateway is the Gatehouse erected in 1420 by
Sir Hugh Luttrell, the first of the family to live at the Castle. The heraldic
panel over the entrance was set up in the 16th century. Two buttresses were added
to the east wall in 1428. In 1764 the level of the lower ward was raised, submerging
the first two storeys, the upper part was enlarged by the addition of two battle-
mented polygonal turrets on the west side, pierced by arrow loops. The present
castle buildings were thoroughly reconstructed from circa 1617 onwards from designs
probably by William Arnold, refurnished in the 18th century and extensively
enlarged and remodelled in 1869-72 by Anthony Salvin. Red sandstone walling dressed
and coursed on the west wing and porch tower elsewhere random rubble. Window
surrounds in dressed Doulting stone. Mainly three storeys, H-shaped plan of
Jacobean building altered in 19th century to roughly L-shaped. Main elevation to
north-west comprises embattled centre block, single square headed mullioned and
transomed windows either side of porch tower. 4-centred entrance doorway with wood
mould terminated with label stops bearing initials of members of Luttrell family.
Large coat of arms above. West wing with three window front and staircase tower in
return angle. East wing has prominent octagonal staircase tower with conical roof
and arrow loops. Good interior features of 17th and 18th centuries including oak
staircases, ornate plaster ceilings and overmantles, panelling, etc.

This marquee had to run at an angle to meet up with the front door. The custom "angle marquee" made it possible.

Guardian angel – motif: "Abyss".
With arms outstretched protectively, an angel draped in green and pink lush fabric watches over two children. Absorbed in their game with ball and hoop, the little boy and his sister do not seem to notice that they are dangerously close to a rocky abyss.
This motif is very popular. With slightly different color nuances in each case, the so-called "abyss picture" appears no less than four times in this collection.

Schutzengel – Motiv: „Abgrundbild“
Mit schützend ausgebreiteten Armen wacht ein in grünen und rosafarbenen üppigen Stoff gehüllter Engel über zwei Kinder. In ihr Spiel mit Ball und Reifen versunken, scheinen der kleine Junge und seine Schwester nicht zu bemerken, dass sie einem felsigen Abgrund gefährlich nahekommen.
Dieses Motiv ist sehr beliebt. Mit jeweils etwas unterschiedlicher Farbnuancierung kommt das sogenannte „Abgrundbild“ in dieser Sammlung gleich vier Mal vor.
The "Ruperra" was built by William Gray & Co. of W. Hartlepool for Cory Bros. (John & Richard) Ltd., Cardiff shipowners in 1925.
She was the fourth of Cory's Ruperras, all cargo steamers. The first [built] 1877 was sunk off Bolt Head in 1881; the second, 1901-1903, was lost 14 miles south of Bishop Rock in a famous collision with a naval warship, HMS Melampus; the third, 1904-1917, was sunk by U-Boat in the Mediterranean; and this one, 4548 gross tons, with a 423 n.h.p. triple-expansion engine giving her a top speed of 10 knots, was sunk by another U-Boat 90 miles SW of Rockall on 19 October 1940, with only 6 members of a crew of 36 saved. See www.wrecksite.eu/wreck.aspx?12950, with an identifying photo.
Cory's owned 29 ships at the outbreak of the First World War, but only 9 by the end of it. The fourth "Ruperra" was one of three replacements acquired in 1925, 1927 [Ramillies], and 1928 [Coryton]. By the end of the 1930s they were the only three still in service, but all were lost during the Second World War.
