Hilton Brook
The Hilton Brook or Sutton Brook is a tributary of the River Dove in Derbyshire, England, and is 26 kilometres (16 miles) long. Like many watercourses in the area, it has multiple names, often being named locally after the village it flows past. Course The source of the brook is to the north of Hulland village, where it is known as the Hulland-Hollow brook. It flows south to become the Spinneyford brook; this changes to the Brailsford brook after the confluence with the Bradley brook. It then flows past the village of Ednaston, and takes the name of Longford brook in the middle reaches, after it is joined by the Shirley brook, near Longford. The name changes again, to the Sutton brook as it passes Sutton on the Hill, and finally becomes the Hilton brook as it flows past the village of the same name. The brook then flows in a south-easterly direction to join the River Dove north of Burton upon Trent near the village of Egginton. Catchment The brook drains a catchment with a g ...

Tudor Rose
The Tudor rose (sometimes called the Union rose) is the traditional floral heraldic badge, heraldic emblem of England and takes its name and origins from the House of Tudor, which united the House of Lancaster and the House of York. The Tudor rose consists of five white inner petals, representing the House of York, and five red outer petals to represent the House of Lancaster. Origins In the Battle of Bosworth Field (1485), Henry VII of England, Henry VII, of the House of Lancaster, took the crown of England from Richard III of England, Richard III, of the House of York. He thus brought to an end the retrospectively dubbed "Wars of the Roses". Kings of the House of Lancaster had sometimes used a red or gold rose as a badge; and the House of York had used a white rose as a badge. Henry's father was Edmund Tudor, 1st Earl of Richmond, Edmund Tudor, and his mother was Lady Margaret Beaufort, Margaret Beaufort from the House of Lancaster; in January 1486 he married Elizabeth of ...

Perpendicular Period
Perpendicular Gothic (also Perpendicular, Rectilinear, or Third Pointed) architecture was the third and final style of English Gothic architecture developed in the Kingdom of England during the Late Middle Ages, typified by large windows, four-centred arches, straight vertical and horizontal lines in the tracery, and regular arch-topped rectangular panelling. Perpendicular was the prevailing style of Late Gothic architecture in England from the 14th century to the 17th century. Perpendicular was unique to the country: no equivalent arose in Continental Europe or elsewhere in the British Isles. Of all the Gothic architectural styles, Perpendicular was the first to experience a second wave of popularity from the 18th century on in Gothic Revival architecture. The pointed arches used in Perpendicular were often four-centred arches, allowing them to be rather wider and flatter than in other Gothic styles. Perpendicular tracery is characterized by mullions that rise vertically as fa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
