周末散步：Medieval Warwick（图）
Posted: 2008-04-27 5:41
昨天去Warwick吃晚饭，好久没在城里闲走了，趁大好春光拍了点照片。小小的城中心里最突出的是英国保存最完好之一的城堡，中世纪的Warwick Castle，还有不少都铎风格的旧建筑。
网上的Warwick Castle全景图
昨天拍的照片
铜牌上刻的地图
狭窄的旧街一样需要让车辆通行。天上有一架飞机的踪影。在Birmingham机场降落，有时侯可以看得到Warwick Castle
Mediaeval Guildhall, now the Lord Leycester Hospital
主要街道边上往Castle方向走，很英国的茶室。记得原来是个teddy bear店，不知什么时候改了
城堡墙外的Castle Lane，墙对面就有人家住
从Avon河的桥上看Castle
折转来再往城中心走，我最喜欢的Mill Street，城堡里的生活需要各种手艺人和工匠的贡献
Mill Street上的住家，每天晨昏可以欣赏城堡的各种姿态
这些cottage的价格也不用问，总归不是普通工薪族可以负担的
大量采用原木做结构，时代久远了，不免歪歪斜斜
东城门
St Mary教堂，1694年大火后，1704年重建。昨晚六点钟的时候，它的塔楼上传来当当的悠扬钟声，响遍整个小城。因为建在山坡上，从Warwick周围经过，老远就看得见钟楼的尖顶。
路上，fluffy的春天
背景介绍：（www.warwick-uk.co.uk）
The town of Warwick was founded on the banks of the River Avon in 914 AD by Ethelfleda, sister of Edward the Elder, as a defence against the Danish invaders, on a site overlooking earlier riverside settlements. It is built on a small hill which controlled not only the river valley but also the river crossing on the road to London and the roads to Stratford, Coventry and the salt way to Droitwich. The Anglo-Saxon town was surrounded partly by a wall and partly by a ditch.
The mediaeval core of the town was prevented from expansion by the open spaces that surround it: the Common and Racecourse, the grounds of the Priory, St Nicholas Meadow, the River Avon, and later, Warwick Castle. Within a relatively small area there are many buildings of historic interest, of which the Castle is the most important.
This is one of the most dramatic and complete mediaeval castles in the country. It has been inhabited continuously since the Middle Ages, and was the home of the Earls of Warwick until recently.
Many of the central streets of the town were destroyed by the Great Fire of 1694. The buildings which were burnt, and many which were not, were re-built in the handsome style of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. St Mary's Church, which dominates the surrounding countryside, had a new nave and tower at the same time.
Several important mediaeval buildings survived the fire and can be seen to this day, notably the town's mediaeval Guildhall, now the Lord Leycester Hospital, as well as a group of timber - framed buildings around Oken's House.
