A visit to Caernarfon Castle in North Wales. It was here in 1911 and 1969 that the Prince of Wales was inaugurated (Prince Edward later Edward VIII and the current Prince of Wales, Prince Charles).
Caernarfon Castle (Welsh: Castell Caernarfon), often anglicized as Carnarvon Castle, is a medieval fortress in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, north-west Wales cared for by Cadw, the Welsh Government's historic environment service. There was a motte-and-bailey castle in the town of Caernarfon from the late 11th century until 1283 when King Edward I of England began replacing it with the current stone structure. The Edwardian town and castle acted as the administrative centre of north Wales and as a result the defences were built on a grand scale. There was a deliberate link with Caernarfon's Roman past and the Roman fort of Segontium is nearby.
While the castle was under construction, town walls were built around Caernarfon. The work cost between £20,000 and £25,000 from the start until the end of work in 1330. Despite Caernarfon Castle's external appearance of being mostly complete, the interior buildings no longer survive and many of the building plans were never finished. The town and castle were sacked in 1294 when Madog ap Llywelyn led a rebellion against the English. Caernarfon was recaptured the following year. During the Glyndŵr Rising of 1400–1415, the castle was besieged. When the Tudor dynasty ascended to the English throne in 1485, tensions between the Welsh and English began to diminish and castles were considered less important. As a result, Caernarfon Castle was allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. Despite its dilapidated condition, during the English Civil War Caernarfon Castle was held by Royalists, and was besieged three times by Parliamentarian forces. This was the last time the castle was used in war. Caernarfon Castle was neglected until the 19th century when the state funded repairs. In 1911, Caernarfon Castle was used for the investiture of the Prince of Wales, and again in 1969. It is part of the World Heritage Site "Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd".
A Grade I listed building.
History
Begun in 1283 and still incomplete when building work ceased c1330. Built for Edward I of England, it combined the roles of fortification, palace and administrative centre. A motte and bailey castle had been built here in the late C11 by Earl Hugh of Chester, although it became a residence of Welsh princes, including Llewelyn ap Gruffudd, after the Welsh regained control of Gwynedd by 1115. The English conquest of N Wales followed quickly after the death of Llewelyn ap Gruffudd in 1282 and Caernarfon was built to consolidate the English gains. Edward I employed James of St George as his architect, who had previously been employed by Philip of Savoy and had designed for him the fortress-palace of St Georges d'Esperanche. James also directed the building other castles for Edward I, including Harlech, Conwy and Beaumaris, using English craftsmen and labourers. The design of Caernarfon Castle echoed the walls of Emperor Constantine's Roman city of Constantinople, which also has polygonal towers and banded stonework, and was thus intended by Edward to be an expression of imperial power. Edward I and Queen Eleanor visited Caernarfon in 1284 and it was said that their son, Edward, the first English prince of Wales, was born at the castle in 1284.
Construction of the castle was integrated with the construction of town walls protecting the newly established borough, the town being situated on the N side of the castle. By 1292 the southern external façade of the castle was probably complete, while on the N side the castle was protected by a ditch and the walled town. The castle was damaged during an uprising in 1294 led by Madog ap Llewelyn, but Edward I swiftly regained control of Caernarfon and the castle, where restoration work began in 1295. The uprising had demonstrated the need to complete the castle's defences on the town side, which were largely built in the period 1295-1301. Work subsequently continued at a slower pace in the period 1304-30 and included the completion of the towers, including the Eagle Tower which was completed 1316-17 and in 1316 the timber-framed 'Hall of Llewelyn', the Welsh prince's residence at Conwy, was dismantled and shipped to Caernarfon. The upper portion of the King's Gate was constructed in 1321 and included a statue of Edward of Caernarfon, who had been crowned Edward II in 1307.
The castle was garrisoned for nearly 2 centuries but was increasingly neglected as hostilities softened from the C16 onwards. The castle was garrisoned for Charles I during the Civil War but was surrendered to the Parliamentarians in 1646. In the C18 the castle became one of the most celebrated of ruins in Wales, which began its present phase as tourist attraction and ancient monument. Restoration was undertaken in the final quarter of the C19 under the direction of Sir Llewelyn Turner, Deputy Constable. In 1908 ownership passed from the Crown to the Office of Works and restoration work continued. This included the reinstatement of floors in most of the towers and reinstatement of the embattled wall walks by 1911. The castle was the venue for the investiture of both C20 Princes of Wales, in 1911 and 1969.
Exterior
Constructed of coursed limestone with darker stone banding to the S and E external façades between the Eagle Tower and NE Tower. The plan is polygonal, resembling a figure of 8, and constructed around an upper and a lower ward in the form of curtain walls and mainly 3-stage polygonal towers with basements (in contrast to the round towers of the town walls). The structure is in 2 main phases. The earlier is the S side, from and including the Eagle Tower to the NE Tower, was constructed mainly in the period 1283-1292, while the N side facing the walled town was built after the uprising of 1294. The curtain walls are embattled with loops to the merlons and a wall walk. Openings are characterised by the frequent use of shouldered lintels, giving rise to the alternative term 'Caernarfon lintel', and 2-centred arches. The towers have reinstated floors of c1911 on original corbels. The outer walls have arrow loops. Windows are mainly narrow single-light, but some of the mullioned windows incorporate transoms.
The principal entrance is the 3-storey King's Gate on the N side. It is reached across the ditch by a modern segmental-arched stone bridge with stone steps to the outer side, replacing the medieval drawbridge. The King's Gate has polygonal towers with 2-light windows to the outer facets in the middle stage and 2-light windows in the upper stage. The entrance is recessed behind a segmental moulded arch. It has a 2-centred arch beneath string courses and 2-light transomed window. Above the main arch is a statue of Edward II in a canopied niche with flanking attached pinnacles.
To the R is the outer wall of the kitchens and then the Well Tower, of 3 stages with basement. The Well Tower has a higher polygonal turret reinstated in the late C19 and full-height square projection on the W side housing the well shaft. The tower has 2-light windows in the middle and upper stages.
The Eagle Tower at the W end is the largest of the towers, having been designed to accommodate the king's lieutenant. It has 3 stages with basement and 3 higher polygonal turrets. The battlements are enriched by carved heads and eagles, although much weathered. On the N side are 2-light windows and an attached stub wall with drawbridge slot. This is the planned water gate through which water-borne supplies were intended to be conveyed to the basement of the Well Tower at high tide, but it was not completed. It has polygonal responds to the gate, a portcullis slot and 2 superimposed windows between the basement and ground-floor levels. On the N side is a flight of stone steps to an arched doorway at basement level. This postern was the main entrance for those approaching by sea. On the S side the curtain wall is built on exposed bedrock and the Queen's Tower, Chamberlain Tower and the Black Tower each have a single higher polygonal turret. The outer faces have only narrow loops. On the W side of the Chamberlain Tower are stone steps to a doorway under a shouldered lintel that led into the great hall. On the E side of the Black Tower is the shorter polygonal Cistern Tower, with the unfinished Queen's Gate at the SE end. Between the Chamberlain Tower and Black Tower the curtain wall is stepped in, from which point there is a substantial raked stone plinth continuing around to the NE Tower. The Queen's Gate has double polygonal towers linked by a straight wall above the gateway, while the openings are all narrow loops. The gateway is raised above a high basement storey (and would have been reached by the building of a massive stone ramp) and is recessed beneath a segmental arch with murder holes. The Watch Tower to the N is narrower and higher than the remaining towers, beyond which is the 2-stage NE Tower, which has a 2-light window. Returning along the N side, which was built after 1295, the curtain wall and the 4-stage Granary Tower incorporate 2-light windows.
The King's Gate has murder holes to the vault and porters' rooms to the L and R, leading to the interior. Internally the castle is planned around an upper ward on the E side and a lower ward on the W side. Through the entrance passage is a 2-storey projection on the R (now housing a shop), the S side of which retains 2 portcullis slots and a vault springer, indicating that a second entrance was built here, although it no longer survives above the foundations. Above the main gate is a former chapel, which retains its original piscina. The upper storey hall has window seats. On the W side of the King's Gate are the foundations of the kitchens in the lower ward, in which are 2 round foundations for copper cauldrons and springer of a former vault. The Well Tower does not have reinstated floors, but in each storey a fireplace and garderobe are retained and in the second stage is a small kitchen above the well chamber. The fireplaces all differ in detail: in the basement is a segmental arch, the lower storey a tripartite lintel, the second stage a projecting lintel on corbels with raked hood, and chamfered lintel to the upper stage. The tower has a full-height newel stair. The basement is reached by external stone steps. Between the Well Tower and Eagle Tower is a restored fireplace with a raked hood in a chamber whose outline walls are visible.
The Eagle Tower has stone steps to the basement to the L of the main doorway, both lower stage and basement having pointed doorways. The upper stages have 2-light windows similar to the outer faces. The thick walls incorporate mural passages and stairs. In the lower stage is a large fireplace with raked hood and a small octagonal chamber that probably served as a chapel. The great chamber in the second stage also has an octagonal chapel, which retains a stoup or piscina. Between the Eagle Tower and the NE Tower the curtain wall and towers have mural passages in addition to the wall walk and generally have stone steps in either straight flights to the wall walks or newel stairs, and most chambers in the towers have associated garderobes. The Queen's Tower, known as the 'Banner Tower' in the C14, and the Chamberlain Tower have chambers in each storey with small square subsidiary chambers that probably served as chapels, and 2-light windows. The Queen's Tower has 3 octagonal chimney shafts behind the parapet. In the Chamberlain Tower the lower storey retains a fireplace with shouldered lintel. Both towers are occupied by the museum of the Royal Welch Fusiliers. Between Queen's Tower and Chamberlain Tower are the foundations of the great hall, while the 2 superimposed mural passages in the curtain wall have 2-light windows that formerly opened into the hall.
The Black Tower is smaller than the other towers and has only single chambers in each stage, with cambered fireplace in the upper chamber, and 2-light windows. The Cistern Tower has a vaulted hexagonal chamber beneath an open stone-lined rainwater tank visible on the wall walk. In the unfinished Queen's Gate the position of porters' rooms is discernible in the flanking towers of which the S has a lintelled fireplace while both have garderobes. Portcullis slots and murder holes are in the passage. The upper storey over the passage was to have been a hall but was not completed. The Watch Tower is entered by a doorway at the wall walk level only.
The NE Tower is simpler with single chambers in each stage, as is the Granary Tower, which incorporates a well shaft and has a fireplace with raked hood in the upper stage. Between the NE Tower and the King's Gate the curtain wall has corbels representing former buildings built against the curtain, and its mullioned windows incorporate window seats.

North nave window by Heaton, Butler & Bayne, c1911, depicting the Holy Family presided over by an angel.
St Paul's church at Woodhouse Eaves dates back to 1837 when it was built to the designs of William Railton and subsequently altered with transept extensions in 1880. It is a substantial 19th century church with a west tower and a wide nave flanked by double-transepts and a narrower chancel beyond, all in a pseudo-Early-English style with lancet windows throughout.
The inside is light and spacious and feels a well loved and maintained church. There is a good mixture of Victorian glass in many of the windows, but the most rewarding here are the smaller pair of Arts & Crafts windows in the chancel by Theodora Salusbury.
Woodhouse Eaves church is probably normally kept locked like most in the area outside of service times, but is worth seeing inside if at all possible.

Memorial Window to Elizabeth Mitchell, c1911.
In memory of Elizabeth Mitchell and other loved ones.
By Archibald Keightley Nicholson (1871-1937).
AK Nicholson was the brother of Sir Charles Nicholson and a pupil of Henry Wilson. He was thus initially skilled in crafts, including metalwork, and was largely self-taught as a glassmaker. After his death his studio continued under GER Smith and HL Pawle.
The building of St Mary’s dates from around 1100. The tower is original Norman, but the remainder of the church was rebuilt in the 1830s after a storm blew in the roof in 1832.
The following is the text provided in the church’s grade II listed entry:
Church: Late C12 tower embattled c1911, nave rebuilt c1832 retaining inner medieval walls, chancel rebuilt and extended c1834 by Joseph Furness, a local mason. Large dressed stone to tower, hammr.dressed stone to body of church with stone slate roof. Gothic Revival style. West tower, nave, chancel, 3-stage embattled tower has battered plinth, roll-moulded strings. West face has lancet window to 1st stage, clock to 2nd stage and 2 light plate tracery belfry windows recessed inside elliptical arches and having colonnettes with cushion-headed capitals. Battlements have corner pinnacles. Weathervane. Earlier steeply-pitched roofline visible on east-face. Nave has 3 bays of 2-light windows with trefoil heads and curvilinear tracery. Between 1st two bays gabled porch c1911. North facade of nave has 3 semicircular relieving arches, possibly from earlier church to aisle arcade now gone, blocked with 2-light traceried windows as front. Chancel set back from nave but roofed continuously has 5 bays. lst-bay has 3-light window with intersecting Y-tracery. Other windows of 2 lights as nave. Priests’ door in 5th bay with small Y-traceried window above. On North facade of chancel, set between 1st and 2nd bay, priests’ door with pointed-arch and oak studded door. 5-light east window with intersecting Y-tracery. small added north vestry gabled and at right angles with chimney and coped gable.
Interior: single vessel, the nave separated from chancel by semicircular arch. Oldest feature the tower arch: 2-centred with inner arch with chamfered octagonal piers with moulded capitals. Moulded plaster cornice, flat ceiling with rose c1830s. Chancel retains fine Jacobean pulpit of good work, octagonal with interlaced guillouche decoration and arcaded panels. Fine reused C15 bench ends to choir-stalls with carved rectilinear tracery and good carved poppy-heads. Vestry has walls panelled with remains of finely carved C17 box-pews. Window above Priests’ door made up of fragments of medieval stained glass. Other C19 stained glass memorial windows. Some memorials from earlier church, the best to Christopher Hodgson c1726. Royal Coat of Arms (on canvas) to George I.
Mentioned in Domesday Book c1086 and was granted by William, 2nd Earl Warenne, between 1121 and 1127 to the newly-forwed Priory of Augustinian Canons at Nostell. The Canons set up a small cell serving Woodkirk Church until the Dissolution in 1539 when it later fell into the hands of the Saviles. Excavations have revealed a courtyard over 50ft square with adjacent buildings. There was also a garden, an orchard and a stone dovecote with fishponds below the church which served as reservoirs for the watermills. St. Michael’s, East Ardsley (q.v.) was a chapel dependent on Woodkirk.

Northcote Conservation study 1982 survey images: colour slide, black & white:.
`Olinda was built on land subdivided in the late 1880s as the Fairfield Hill Estate, which was.
originally as part of Crown Portion 101 purchased by W F A Rucker in 1840.1 Allotments were.
sold by auctioneer Mr Robertson, of Carlton, in February of 1885. Robertson boasted that the estate.
was adjacent to the Borough Council’s offices, in the old Wesleyan Schoolroom (qv), and lay.
between the Dandenong’s and the Fairfield Hill allotments, constituting a grand view..
William G Swift, the new town clerk of Northcote Borough, purchased two of these allotments from.
L Oldfield in1 1885. Swift replaced Goodwin as Town Clerk in Northcote in1885, after he served at Collingwood. Soon after his arrival in the new suburb of Northcote in April 1886 he had established.
a real estate agency which had ceased business by 1887, when he commenced construction of Olinda..
Swift lived at Olinda for forty years, retiring from his position as town clerk and treasurer in 1923.
and shifting to Ivanhoe. Before he left he wrote ‘The History of Northcote, from its First Settlement.
to a City’ in 1928. William Swift died in October 1945 at the age of 83..
Subsequent owners of Olinda include the Dihm and Finlay families. Frank Brennan, a solicitor,.
leased Olinda from the Dihms for a period. Brennan was MHR for Batman from c1911 to 1931 and.
1934 to 1939, as well as serving as Attorney General from 1929 to 1931.'

Sunny Bank is pictured c1911 when the house was occupied by the Wild family.
The house must have been crowded: in addition to Mr. & Mrs. Wild, they had 2 sons, a nurse/baby, 3 boarders and a General Servant (Domestic).

Ethel Sands
Oil paint on canvas
Sands’s house was one of the social centres for modern art in London. Here, she hosts the artist Walter Sickert (1860–1942). Seen from an unusually high vantage point, Sickert lounges in a chair, smoking. Tea is set for three. The other figure is Sands’s partner, the US-born artist Nan Hudson (1869–1957). Despite their friendship with Sickert, as women, Sands and Hudson were excluded from the Camden Town Group of artists, in which Sickert was a pivotal figure. This picture was exhibited at London’s Carfax Gallery in 1912, where a reviewer found it ‘daring’.*

Now You See Us Women Artists in Britain 1520–1920
(May – October 2024)
Spanning 400 years, this exhibition follows women on their journeys to becoming professional artists. From Tudor times to the First World War, artists such as Mary Beale, Angelica Kauffman, Elizabeth Butler and Laura Knight paved a new artistic path for generations of women. They challenged what it meant to be a working woman of the time by going against society’s expectations – having commercial careers as artists and taking part in public exhibitions.
Including over 150 works, the show dismantles stereotypes surrounding women artists in history, who were often thought of as amateurs. Determined to succeed and refusing to be boxed in, they daringly painted what were usually thought to be subjects for male artists: history pieces, battle scenes and the nude.
The exhibition sheds light on how these artists championed equal access to art training and academy membership, breaking boundaries and overcoming many obstacles to establish what it meant to be a woman in the art world.

c1911 postcard view of the new C. G. Conn Musical Instrument Company’s factory at Elkhart, Indiana. This factory replaced the one destroyed by fire. The 1910 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Elkhart shows the new factory on the south side of Elkhart Avenue (later renamed Beardsley Avenue) at the Rawlins Street (later renamed Conn Avenue) intersection. However, the factory is labeled “To Be C. G. Conn Musical Inst. Co.” on the map sheet dated August 1910. This view was looking southeast across the intersection of Elkhart Avenue and Rawlins Street.
Numerous bicycles were leaning against the front and side of the building.
