Arundel Castle is a restored and remodelled medieval castle in Arundel, West Sussex, England. It was established during the reign of Edward the Confessor and completed by Roger de Montgomery. The castle was damaged in the English Civil War and then restored in the 18th and 19th centuries by Charles Howard, 11th Duke of Norfolk.
Since the 11th century, the castle has been the seat of the Earls of Arundel and the Dukes of Norfolk. It is a Grade I listed building.
The original structure was a motte-and-bailey castle. Roger de Montgomery was declared the first Earl of Arundel as the King granted him the property as part of a much larger package of hundreds of manors. Roger, who was a cousin of William the Conqueror, had stayed in Normandy to keep the peace there while William was away from England. He was rewarded for his loyalty with extensive lands in the Welsh Marches and across the country, together with one fifth of Sussex (Arundel Rape). He began work on Arundel Castle in around 1067.
The castle then passed to Adeliza of Louvain (who had previously been married to Henry I) and her husband William d'Aubigny. Empress Matilda stayed in the castle, in 1139. It then passed down the d'Aubigny line until the death of Hugh d'Aubigny, 5th Earl of Arundel in 1243. John Fitzalan then inherited jure matris the castle and honour of Arundel, by which, according to Henry VI's "admission" of 1433, he was later retrospectively held to have become de jure Earl of Arundel.
The FitzAlan male line ceased on the death of Henry Fitzalan, 12th Earl of Arundel, whose daughter and heiress Mary FitzAlan married Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, to whose descendants the castle and earldom passed.
In 1643, during the First English Civil War, the castle was besieged. The 800 royalists inside surrendered after 18 days. Afterwards in 1653 Parliament ordered the slighting of the castle; however "weather probably destroyed more".
Although the castle remained in the hands of the Howard family over the succeeding centuries, it was not their favourite residence, and the various Dukes of Norfolk invested their time and energy into improving other ducal estates, including Norfolk House in London. Charles Howard, 11th Duke of Norfolk, was known for his restoration work and improvements to the castle beginning in 1787. The folly that still stands on the hill above Swanbourne Lake was commissioned by and built for the Duke by Francis Hiorne at this time.
In 1846, Queen Victoria and her husband, Prince Albert, visited Arundel Castle for three days. Henry Howard, 13th Duke of Norfolk, remodelled the castle in time for her visit to a design by an architectural firm, Morant: a suite of six rooms were built on the second floor of the south-east range at this time.
The 19th-century embellishments had not been completed when this picture was published in 1880. Soon after the 1846 Royal visit the 14th Duke began re-structuring the castle again. The work, which was done to the designs of Charles Alban Buckler and undertaken by Rattee and Kett of Cambridge, was completed in the late 19th century. The 16th Duke had planned to give the castle to the National Trust but following his death in 1975 the 17th Duke cancelled the plan. He created an independent charitable trust to guarantee the castle's future, and oversaw restorative works.
The extensive gardens had received significant improvements by early 2020 through the efforts of head gardener Martin Duncan and his crew. A horticulturalist and landscape designer, Duncan has been working at the Castle since 2009; in 2018, he received the Kew Guild Medal. The gardeners and volunteers "have worked wonders with their bold and innovative plantings", according to an April 2020 report by Country Life. Their most recent efforts led to a wild water garden around the ponds.

During the drought here the wetland areas dried up, but some areas started growing some kind of grass. When the water came back, the ducks had to navigate in the grass clumps. All the lighter colored vegetation on the far side is grass that grew during the drought. This whole wetland area has silted up over the last fifteen years so now has a much smaller area for the ducks to congregate.
St Michael's is the Church of England parish church in the market town of Melksham in Wiltshire. The church stands some 200 metres northwest of the town's marketplace. With 12th-Century origins, the building was altered and enlarged in the 14th and 15th Centuries, and restored in the 19th. It is a Grade II* listed building.
The church has a chancel and five-bay nave, with north and south aisles and north and south chapels, and a west tower. Originally dating to the 16th Century, the tower was moved from the crossing to the west end during TH Wyatt’s extensive remodelling in 1845. The chancel dates from the 12th century, while the church was enlarged in the 14th century, and in the mid-15th a clerestory was inserted and a chapel was added on the south side of the chancel.
Pevsner wrote: "... it is a big church, and so it is all the more remarkable that its Norman predecessor was just as big."
Domesday Book in 1086 recorded a church at Melchesha. In 1220 the living became a possession of the canonry of Salisbury Cathedral, continuing to the present day.

Looks like a DIY remodel ...still in progress from the 70's.
Had fun capturing this - hope nothing attached itself to me while taking it.

A wall of a building known in recent years as the Design Center. Sometime before the 1980s, it had been Miller Brothers Auto dealership, one of many delearships along Baum Boulevard, now closed, torn down, or repurposed, like this one. The original remodel featured a bland and tacky faux facade. They've ripped it off and appear to be about to re-face it in brick. I like the transitional state best of all. I'm afraid the modern brick and windows that probably replaced the original showroom windows are going to stay.
Guess nothing will ever stop the need to remodel. All the grass has been removed from a large area and new sod is being installed. Cleanup and maintenace is taking place at Houston National Cemetery. Surprisingly, there's vandalism that occurs here.

The mother eagle decided the nest would need a bit of remodeling since three eaglets have hatched. She flew off and came back with this stick to make the front "crib rails" slightly higher.
Interesting remodel work in this house. A kitchen with a sink and a bathroom were added at some point. The old cookstove was replaced with a heater and an electric stove was where the wallpaper covered the wainscoating boards. Notice the water pipes coming down from the water heater on the second floor.
Same foundational footprint; same envelope structure. New angles roofline and windows. New metal roof with skylights over deck. House along the Tsawwassen BC golf course.
