Carswell Medieval House
Carswell Medieval House is a Grade II*-listed historic stone ruin of a medieval tenant farm in the village of Penally, near St Florence in Tenby. Visit Wales describe it as "one of the only buildings of its type still standing in this part of Wales" and an example of "everyday medieval life away from the grand castles often associated with the period." History The present site formed what was a complex of farm buildings in the estate of the earls of Pembroke. Together with the land, the rent was one tenth of a knight's fee. In 1397 it was rented by a William Wyte. Records of the building trace back to the fourteenth and sixteenth century by which the building had been divided into two. The building has a strange layout, having a separate entrance to each floor, and no internal access. A later addition, a staircase, was added but is no longer visible. The building is a two-storey gabled structure and has a vaulted undercroft. The building has evidence of a hearth, stone benc ...

Carswell House
The Stuart Randall and Priscilla Kellogg Carswell House is a historic house in Newark, Delaware. Built in 1948, it is an unusual example of International style architecture in Delaware. The house was built by Stuart Carswell (1891–1949) and his wife Priscilla (1907–1991). Carswell, a Delaware native, was a career Army officer who fought in France during World War I. After seeing plans for an International style house in a 1936 issue of ''Collier's'', the Carswells eventually decided they wanted to build a similar house for themselves. They commissioned an updated set of plans from Edward Durell Stone, the architect responsible for the design featured in ''Collier's'', after Carswell's retirement from the military at the end of World War II. The house was completed in December 1948. Stuart Carswell died just six months later, and his widow sold the house in 1956. Starting in 1999, the Carswell House was restored to its original appearance by its owners, both professors at the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

15th-century Architecture
The 15th century was the century which spans the Julian dates from 1 January 1401 ( MCDI) to 31 December 1500 ( MD). In Europe, the 15th century includes parts of the Late Middle Ages, the Early Renaissance, and the early modern period. Many technological, social and cultural developments of the 15th century can in retrospect be seen as heralding the "European miracle" of the following centuries. The architectural perspective, and the modern fields which are known today as banking and accounting were founded in Italy. The Hundred Years' War ended with a decisive French victory over the English in the Battle of Castillon. Financial troubles in England following the conflict resulted in the Wars of the Roses, a series of dynastic wars for the throne of England. The conflicts ended with the defeat of Richard III by Henry VII at the Battle of Bosworth Field, establishing the Tudor dynasty in the later part of the century.

Tenant Farm
A tenant farmer is a person (farmer or farmworker) who resides on land owned by a landlord. Tenant farming is an agricultural production system in which landowners contribute their land and often a measure of operating capital and management, while tenant farmers contribute their labor along with at times varying amounts of capital and management. Depending on the contract, tenants can make payments to the owner either of a fixed portion of the product, in cash or in a combination. The rights the tenant has over the land, the form, and measures of payment vary across systems (geographically and chronologically). In some systems, the tenant could be evicted at whim ( tenancy at will); in others, the landowner and tenant sign a contract for a fixed number of years ( tenancy for years or indenture). In most developed countries today, at least some restrictions are placed on the rights of landlords to evict tenants under normal circumstances. England and Wales Historically, rural s ...

Grade II*
In the United Kingdom, a listed building or listed structure is one that has been placed on one of the four statutory lists maintained by Historic England in England, Historic Environment Scotland in Scotland, in Wales, and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency in Northern Ireland. The term has also been used in the Republic of Ireland, where buildings are protected under the Planning and Development Act 2000. The statutory term in Ireland is "Record of Protected Structures, protected structure". A listed building may not be demolished, extended, or altered without special permission from the local planning authority, which typically consults the relevant central government agency, particularly for significant alterations to the more notable listed buildings. In England and Wales, a national amenity society must be notified of any work to a listed building which involves any element of demolition. Exemption from secular listed building control is provided for some buildin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
