This palace is one of the largest houses in Britain, which was built between 1705 and 1724. 1987, UNESCO confirmed this palace as a world heritage.

It was originally a gift from a grateful country to john churchill as a reward for the French and Bavarian military victory in the Battle of Brenheim. However, it soon became the theme of political infighting, which led to Marburg's exile, the duchess's power declined and the reputation of architect Sir John Van Buren was irretrievably damaged.

The palace is designed in a rare and short-lived English Baroque style, and its architectural appreciation can be divided into two parts. It was used as a family residence, a mausoleum and a national monument in the 1920s. This palace is also the birthplace and ancestral home of the famous Sir Winston Churchill.

The construction of this palace is a minefield of political intrigue of Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough. After the palace was completed, it became the residence of the Churchill family for the next 300 years. During this period, various changes have taken place in the interior of the family, parks and gardens. /kloc-at the end of 0/9, an American marriage saved the palace and the Churchill family from destruction.

Chatsworth image from * * *

This is Duke of Devonshire's home. He has been living at home since Beth 1549 in hardwick settled in Chatsworth, and the cavendish family is his home. You will see it at Darcy's home in the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice.

* * * Trivia:

At the beginning of the 20th century, social changes and taxes began to affect the lifestyle of Devon. 1908 When the eighth Duke died, the inheritance tax of more than 500,000 pounds expired. Compared with the situation 42 years later, this is not a small expense, but the property has been burdened with the debts accumulated by the sixth duke, and the seventh duke failed in Barrow's business adventure in anger. 1968+The depression of British agriculture since the 1970s is obvious. 19 12, the william caxton family sold 25 books printed by william caxton and 1347 plays collected by the sixth duke to Huntington Library in California, including 4 folio Shakespeare works and 39 Shakespeare quartets. Tens of thousands of acres of land in Somerset, Sussex and Derbyshire were also sold during and shortly after the First World War .. 1920, houses in Devon, London were sold to developers and demolished. Devon Mansion covers an area of 3 mu (12000 square meters). Most houses in Devon moved to Chatsworth and bought a much smaller house at No.2 Carlton Garden near the shopping center. The big greenhouse in Chatsworth Garden was demolished because it needed ten people to manage it and a lot of coal to heat it. All plants died in the war, because no coal can be used for unnecessary purposes. In order to further reduce operating costs, it was also said that the North Wing of Six Dukes would be demolished. At that time, it was considered that the North Wing had no aesthetic or historical value, but it had no result. Located in the western suburbs of London, Swick Villa is a famous Palladian villa. Devon inherited it when the fourth Duke married Lord Burlington's daughter, and it was sold to brentford Parliament in 1929.

Still, life in Chatsworth is the same. The family is managed by the Auditor-General, and the family employees are still there, although there are more people in China than in cities. At this time, Chatsworth's staff had a housekeeper. Under the leadership of the housekeeper, there are grooms, waiters, three servants, a housekeeper, duchess's maids, eleven maids, two sewing maids, a cook, two kitchen maids, a vegetable maid, two or three tableware maids, two still life maids, a dairy maid, six laundry maids and Du Qi's secretary. These thirty-eight and thirty-nine people all live in this house. The daily staff includes odd jobs, decorators, tableware waiters, two scrubbing women workers, laundry porters, steam boiler workers, coal workers, room attendants of two porters, two night firefighters, night porters, two window cleaners and a group of carpenters, plumbers and electricians. Public works personnel are responsible for maintaining the houses and other properties of the manor. And the groom, the driver and the game manager. The number of garden workers is between 80 in the period of the Sixth Duke and 20 in the early 20th century. There is also a librarian named Francis Thompson, who wrote a description of the length of Chatsworth's first book since the Sixth Bunduc Manual.

During World War II, most rural houses in Britain were used for institutional purposes. Some buildings used as barracks were badly damaged, but the Tenth Duke considered that female students were more suitable as tenants than soldiers, so he arranged for Chatsworth to be occupied by Penrhos College, a public girls' school in Covent, Wales. The school later merged with Leidal School and became a co-educational private school in Penrose, Leidal. The things at home were packed in 1 1 day, and 300 girls and their teachers moved in for 6 years. The whole house is used, including the rooms in the state that have become dormitories. The breathing of the sleeping girl is condensed, which leads to fungi growing behind some photos. This house is uncomfortable for so many people. There is a shortage of hot water, but there is compensation, such as skating on the canal pond. The girls planted vegetables in the garden as a contribution to the war. 1944, kathleen kennedy, the sister of John F. Kennedy, married William cavendish, the eldest son of the 10th Duke of Devon, the Marquise of Haddington. However, he was killed in Belgium at the end of 1944, and Catherine died in an air crash at 1948. His younger brother Andrew became the Duke of 1 1 in 1950. He married Deborah mitford, a girl from mitford, Nancy mitford's sister, Diana mitford, Pamela mitford, Uni Miford and Jessica Miford.

* * * Trivia:

Hardwick Manor is one of the most important country villas in Elizabethan England. Like robert smith Smythson's other works in Long Park Jung Su Mansion and Walton Hall, hardwick Hall is one of the earliest interpretations of English Renaissance architectural style, which became popular when people no longer thought it necessary to strengthen houses.

Hardwick Manor is located on the top of the hill between chesterfield and Mansfield, overlooking the Derbyshire countryside. This house was designed by robert smith Smythson at the end of 16 for the ancestors of Beth of hardwick, Countess Shrewsbury and Duke of Devonshire, and it belonged to this family until 1956 when it was handed over to the British Treasury to replace the inheritance tax. The Ministry of Finance handed over the house to the National Trust Fund on 1959. As this is Duke of Devonshire's second residence, its main country house is near Chatsworth, which has hardly changed for centuries. In fact, since19th century, its antique atmosphere has been consciously preserved.

Hardwick is a clear statement of the wealth and power of Beth hardwick, the richest woman in Britain after Elizabeth I. This is one of the earliest houses in England. The hall is built on an axis passing through the center of the house, not at right angles to the entrance. Each floor of the three-story main building is higher than the one below. A huge winding stone staircase leads to a group of national conference rooms on the second floor, including the largest promenade in any house in Britain, and a slightly modified large room with tapestries, which has spectacular plaster sculptures and hunting scenes. /kloc-in the 0/6th century, the windows were extremely large and numerous. In that era when glass was a luxury, windows were a powerful proof of wealth, which led to a proverb: "There are more glasses than walls in hardwick Hall" (or, in another version, "there are more windows than walls"). There are a large number of 16 and 17 century exquisite tapestries and furniture. A remarkable feature of this house is that many items such as furniture are listed in a directory of 160 1.

Hardwick Pavilion has a large collection of embroidery products, most of which are from1late 6th century, and many of them are listed in the catalogue of 160 1. Some knitwear displayed in the house has Beth's flower "ES", which may be made by Beth herself.

Hardwick is open to the public. It has a good garden, including the border of herbs, a garden of vegetables and herbs, and an orchard. The spacious venue also includes hardwick Old Hall, an early house, which was used as guest and service accommodation after the completion of the new hall. The old hall is now in ruins. It is represented by the British Heritage Administration on behalf of the National Trust Fund and is also open to the public.

Ahlvik Castle Ahlvik Castle is the best location known as the interior of Harry Potter movies. It is also famous for its poison garden, which is a garden for planting dangerous plants.

* * * Trivia:

Yves Diva, Baron of Annik, built the first part of the castle in 1096. It is the northern border of England built to resist Scottish invasion and border imperialism. In 1 172 and 1 174, they were besieged by William the lion again, and the king of Scotland and William were captured outside the city wall in the Battle of Annick. 1309, Henry de Percy, the first Baron Percy, bought it from Anony Baker, Bishop of Durham. Since then, the Percy family, the Earl and the Duke of northumberland have owned it. The first Lord Percy of Annick restored the abbot tower, middle gate and express tower of the castle, and survived from this period. 1404- 1405 Percy rebelled against Henry IV, who besieged and occupied the castle.

During wars of the roses, he was defeated by Ed Wang Zhanling until he surrendered after the Battle of Totton in mid-September. Sir William Tallboys recaptured him in the winter of late July 1462 and surrendered to Hastings, Sir john howard and Sir Ralph Gray of Hutton. Gray was appointed captain, but surrendered after a fierce siege in early autumn. King Ed responded positively. 165438+ 10 In October, the Earl of Warwick arrived, and Queen Margaret and her French adviser Pierre de Brooke had to go to Scotland by boat for help. They organized a rescue force mainly composed of Scots, led by George Douglas and De Botts, the fourth earl of Angus, and set out on June 22nd, 165438+. Warwick's army, under the command of the experienced Earl of Kent and the recently pardoned Lord scales, prevented the news from reaching the hungry garrison. As a result, the nearby Banbao and Dunstan Castle quickly reached an agreement and surrendered. However, Hungerford and Whiteingham controlled alnwick until1October 5, when de Blaise and Angus arrived, 1463, and Warwick was forced to retreat.

Lancaster people missed a good opportunity to let Warwick take part in the battle, instead of being satisfied with retiring, leaving only a symbolic army that surrendered the next day. May 1463,

After being betrayed by Gray of Hutton, alnwick fell into Lancaster's hands for the third time. Gray cheated the commander Sir john astor Leigh at Tottenham. Astley was imprisoned and Hungerford returned to power.

Warwick arrived in Annike on June 23rd, and surrendered the next day, after montague's victory in Hirschmoor and Hexham on 1464.

The 6th Earl of northumberland was renovated in16th century. /kloc-In the second half of the 8th century, robert adam made many changes. The interior decoration mainly adopts the Gothic style of Strawberry Mountain (need to be clarified), which is not the typical style of his works at all, but usually neoclassical style. However, in algernon in the19th century, the fourth Duke of northumberland replaced most of the buildings with less gorgeous buildings designed by Anhoni Salven. According to the official, a large number of Adam's works survived, but few or none of them remained in the main rooms displayed to the public, which were redecorated by Luigi Kanina in a luxurious Italian style during the Victorian era.

Somerton Hall is most famous for its beautiful garden.

* * * Trivia:

1240, a manor was built on the former site of Someleyton, as well as Sir Peter Fitzherbert's manor, and his daughter married into the Jay family. The male family of Fizosbots ended, while the Jay family held the property until John Wentworth bought it in 1604. He transformed Somerset Hall into a typical James Building in Tudor period in East Anglia. And passed it on to the Ghani family. The next owner is Admiral Sir Thomas Alin, who comes from Lovistovt. 1672 participated in the Battle of Lovistovt (1665) and the Battle of Solebe. Eventually, the male lineage of this family also disappeared.

Somerriton Hall and Park were bought by Sir Samuel Morton Peto in 1843, and he rebuilt them on a large scale in the next seven years. This painting was specially designed for this house, and the garden and courtyard were completely redesigned. Peto hired Prince Albert's favorite architect, john thomas. 1863, Somerton Manor was sold to Sir Francis crossley of Halifax, West Yorkshire. Like Peto, he is also a philanthropist, manufacturer and senator. Saville, the son of Sir Francis, was founded as Baron Somerset in 19 16. The house is now in the charge of the present Lord Somerriton, who lives at home. He built a mansion for his only daughter Margaret in Gauclair. Her second son, Robert Sawyer Herbert, inherited Gao Claire's legacy, began to collect paintings and built a garden temple. His nephew and heir Henry Herbert was taken away by King George III.

Became Baron Bochester and the first Earl of canavan. In those years, this house was a square classical mansion, but after Sir Charles Barry built the Parliament Building, he renovated and rebuilt the third Earl 1839 to 1842. It adopts the "Elizabethan" style, facing the bath stone.

The term "high Elizabethan era" refers to English architecture in the late 6th century and early 7th century, when the traditional Tudor architecture was challenged by the Italian Renaissance. /kloc-There was a great Renaissance movement in the 20th century, and Sir Charles Barry was a great representative of this movement.

Inspired by Italian Renaissance architecture, Barry became an architect. He is very good at the Renaissance-based style, which was called Italian-style architecture in the19th century. His job in Clifton is regarded as one of his best jobs. However, in Hechler, he adopted the English Renaissance style, but added many Italian-style themes. This is particularly evident in the towers, which are thinner and more exquisite than other great English Renaissance Montemor towers built in the same period. This strong Italian influence makes this castle fairly described as Italian style.

The exterior wall is decorated with edging design and cornices of typical Renaissance buildings. This castle embodies the theme of the Renaissance. Strangely, a hall like Montemor is modeled after the central courtyard of the Italian Renaissance, with arcades and loggia. However, in order to be similar to the English Great Hall in the Middle Ages, Barry introduced the Gothic style into the Italian effect, which was obviously manifested in the point of the arch rather than the curve. This mixture of styles is particularly common in this period, and it is not found in real Elizabethan houses.

Although the exterior of the north, east and south was completed when the third Earl died in 1849 and Sir Charles Barry died in 1852, the interior and west (designated as servants' quarters) were still far from finished. The Fourth Earl turned to Thomas Allom, an architect who cooperated with Barry, to supervise the work inside the castle, which was completed in 1878.

The first Earl rebuilt his park according to Capabiliy Brown's design from 1774 to 1777, and is moving the village (the remains of the church in 1689 are located in the southwest corner of the castle). /kloc-Bishop Stephen Pocock, a famous seed collector in the 8th century, is his friend. He brought Lebanese cedar seeds from his trip to Lebanon. You can see these beautiful trees in the garden today. There are all kinds of stupid and eye-catching things in the manor. To the east of the house is the Temple, a strange building built before 1743, which consists of Corinthian columns in Devon House on Piccadilly Street. "The Gate of Heaven" is an eye-catching building on Mount Sidon, with a height of18m. It is believed that it was designed and built by the Ninth Earl of pembroke in 65,438+07,365,438+0. It soon fell off. A priest witnessed and recorded all this. Mills, he recorded, "We didn't arrive half an hour ago, but we saw it crack from the foundation of the leaf and make such a sound when it fell, but we heard it three or four miles (5 or 6 kilometers) away."
