Rushton Triangular Lodge [History Roadshow]
On the History Roadshow we visit Rushton Triangular Lodge which is a folly. Rushton Triangular Lodge is one of the most extraordinary buildings in England, if not the world. Designed by Sir Thomas Tresham and constructed between 1593 and 1597 near Rushton, Northamptonshire, England.
It was originally built as the warreners lodge, where the keeper of Treshams profitable rabbit warren at Rushton could live and pursue his business.
The agricultural use was combined with a symbolic one as a testament to Treshams faith, the number 3 symbolising the holy trinity which is apparent everywhere
He lived in a protestant England at a time when Catholics were regarded by Elizabeth the 1st government with great suspicion.
After 12 years away from his home, including imprisonment or detention for his religious beliefs he was allowed to return to Rushton.
Its now he then started work on building the lodge.

RUSHTON TRIANGULAR LODGE NORTHAMPTONSHIRE 13 9 19
The Triangular Lodge is a folly, designed and constructed between 1593 and 1597 by Sir Thomas Tresham near Rushton, Northamptonshire, England. It is now in the care of English Heritage. The stone used for the construction was alternating bands of dark and light limestone.
The lodge is Grade I listed on the National Heritage List for England.[1] Tresham was a Roman Catholic and was imprisoned for a total of fifteen years in the late 16th century for refusing to become a Protestant. On his release in 1593, he designed the Lodge as a protestation of his faith. His belief in the Holy Trinity is represented everywhere in the Lodge by the number three: it has three walls 33 feet long, each with three triangular windows and surmounted by three gargoyles. One wall is inscribed '15', another '93', and the last 'TT'. The building has three floors, upon a basement, and a triangular chimney. Three Latin texts, each 33 letters long, run around the building on each facade. The quotations are:
Aperiatur terra & germinet Salvatorem:[2] Let the earth open and … bring forth salvation (Isaiah 45:8)
Quis separabit nos a charitate Christi?:[3] Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? (Romans 8:35)
Consideravi opera tua, Domine, et expavi : I have contemplated thy works, O Lord, and was afraid (a paraphrase of Habakkuk 3:2[4])
The windows on each floor are of different designs, all equally ornate. The largest, those on the first floor, are in the form of a trefoil, which was the emblem of the Tresham family. The basement windows are small trefoils with a triangular pane at their centre. The windows on the ground floor are of a lozenge design, each having 12 small circular openings surrounding a central cruciform slit. Heraldic shields of various families surround these windows.
The slightly raised ground floor has an entrance in the south-east facade. Over the door, beneath Tresham's coat of arms, is the Latin inscription: Tres testimonium dant , meaning The number three bears witness or Tresham bears witness (Tres was the pet name his wife used for Tresham in her letters). Also above the door are the numbers 5555. The figures are oddly shaped, and architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner speculated that this may once have read 3333, but that number seems to have no particular significance. It has, however, been pointed out [5] that if 1593 is subtracted from 5555, it leaves 3962 (the date, BC, of the Flood, according to Bede).
The principal room on each floor is hexagonal, thus leaving the three corner spaces triangular; one of these spaces contains a spiral staircase, the remaining two are small rooms.
The building is crowned, above the quotations on each facade, by three steep gables each surmounted by a three-sided obelisk at the apex. Among the emblems carved on the gables are, on the southeast side, the highly symbolic seven-branched candelabrum within an octagonal plaque, and a heptagonal plaque depicting the seven eyes of God. On the north side are a Pelican in her piety, a symbol of Christ and the Eucharist, and a Hen and Chickens; on the southwest gable are a Dove and Serpent; and the Hand of God touching a globe. The triangular chimney is adorned with the holy monogram IHS, a lamb and cross, and a chalice.
While the lodge is indisputably a testament to Tresham's faith, it is also an example of the Elizabethan love of allegory. Carved in the gables are the numbers 3509 and 3898: these are said to be the dates (BC) of the Creation and the Calling of Abraham. Among the more recent dates carved on the building are 1580, thought to be the date of Tresham's conversion, and also the future (at the time of their carving) dates 1626 and 1641 - to what do they refer? One suggestion[5] is that not only are they divisible by three, but that, when 1593 is subtracted from them, they give 33 and 48, the years in which Jesus and the Virgin Mary are said to have died.
The broken inscriptions inscribed on each gable combine to read Respicite non mihi laboravi, which means Behold I have not laboured for myself alone.
An Ancient Legacy Part 21 - Rushton Triangular Lodge
Rushton Triangular Lodge was designed/built by John Tresham.
A classic example of the the Ancient Legacy that crosses time, contintents and cultures. The ancient stream of knowledge embedded in weights and measures since Old Kingdom Egypt, Sumer and the Indus civilizations.
A legacy that remains in temple design.
The Quadrivium and the Universal language of number being the key to Hermeticism. A fusion of the esoteric and exoteric.

Google smoothed out my walking, but there's a bit of weirdness with the processing at the start. Figured this was a better than the bouncing... but maybe not.

Stopped off before sunset and filmed a local English Heritage building where one of Guy Fawkes co-conspirators once hung out...apparently. No prizes for spotting where I nearly clipped the spire...!
Strangest UK structure - Triangular - Conspiracy
Probably one of the most weirdest structures ever built through religious beliefs. Triangular Lodge is considered a folly. Built by Sir Thomas Tresham near Rushton, Northamptonshire, Great Britain between 1593 and 1597.
This building also has connections with the famous gunpowder plot (Guy Fawkes) which is celebrated every 5th of November.

Part 6 - Xoyology (A Visit to Thomas Tresham Triangular Lodge Rushton Northampton)
Visit: xoylo.co.nr
While having my experience I found a sort of ethos I started to check myself against.
With past events who can really say what is truth, historians and religious experts can't hand on heart say Jesus walked this Earth, yet most follow the book as truth of his life written by his disciples, and if you do follow the Bible as truth it is said that the Human race started with Adam a few thousand years ago, by some fundamentalist interpretations. Science informs us that this is mere fiction and that man is a few million years old, and that civilization just tens of thousands of years old. Could it be, however, that conventional science is just as mistaken as the Bible stories ?
Reason I have said this is due to Ancient objects found that shouldn't if history and science is correct...
For example:-
The Grooved Spheres dated to 2.8 billion years old!
The Dropa Stones dated to 10,000 to 12,000 years old.
The Ica Stones dated 500 and 1,500 years old, yet they picture dinosaurs.
The Antikythera Mechanism dated 2,000 years ago.
The Ancient Model Aircraft dated 1,000 years old.
The Baghdad Battery date back to between 248 B.C. and 226 A.D.
There are others... They place that history and science could both be wrong...
I would ask that anyone wanting to use the Methodology of Xoyology keeps in mind the above, there are things no scientist, no historian, no religious expert has an answer for, and by that measure neither will you, you may have ideas and theories, like I have, and those ideas may shift or change as you learn and move forward. People shouldn't be afraid to say Yes, I am wrong, and I have changed my mind people don't like to admit being wrong for fear of looking weak, yet I see by changing and accepting new ideas is the only way to leave your self open for an alternative truth, and perhaps a shift in accepted truth.
The Method of Xoyology is the acceptance of others ideas, the removal of ridicule from debate, and giving reason to your own ideas.

A visit to Rushton Triangular Lodge
Here I take a little trip to Rushton Lodge to discover the meaning behind the Holy Trinity and the number 3.
THE TRIANGULAR LODGE
by TOM BINGHAM Corby Northants 2013
Triangular Lodge, Rushton
This building is in open country a short way from Desborough. There is an association with the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 because of the involvement of the Treshams, a local family that was responsible for the construction of the Triangular Lodge.
The use of the number, 3, in the design is a reflection of religious belief in the importance of that number. It was a special number to the ancient Celts and that became a factor in the disputes between different Christian factions over the centuries.
In Desborough, at the Desborough Heritage Centre, on Station Road, there is a replica of a bronze mirror that was found at Desborough in 1908. It is believed to be from 2000 years ago and is now in the British Museum in London. Of the half dozen examples of bronze mirrors, the one from Desborough is one of the finest. It was found at the site of iron ore extraction where Federation Avenue is now and why such a fine bronze work of art was hidden or lost there must be something of a puzzle.
It seems that during the time that Iron took over from bronze as the most important metal for technology there was some competition between people whose fortunes were allied to one metal or the other. So, the placing of this article in an ironstone quarry may have been symbolic. Or it may have been that the wealth derived from the trade in iron enabled the owner to purchase such a fine piece of work.
Of course, it is also possible that the mirror was made in relatively recent times, modeled on known examples and placed there to be found.
The mirror is from before it became known that metals from the ancient world have distinctive isotope ratios and so their place of orign and authenticity could be assessed.
IS This the STRANGEST Building in England?
TSHIRT DESIGNS! GET YOURS and help me out!!
This structure is so exciting! The Rushton Triangular lodge appears to contain fascinating information and ideas pertaining to Pythagoreanism. This religion or way of life was a type of understanding perhaps learned by Pythagoras but we do not know the ultimate source!
In fact, it would seem that rather than this building expounding the trinity, as has been claimed, it actually expounds pythagoreanism! Sir Thomas Tresham (TT) spent 15 years locked up for being a catholic, designing this building. He had formerly possessed a huge library.
In fact, Pythagoreanism, was the physics of the 1500s, this was all before Newton. The idea was that a vibration would induce the creation of the universe. Here we see the building divided up into vibrations. It also represents the four states of matter and possibly also the three kingdoms of animal, vegetable and mineral! Wooohooo!

Architecture - An English Folly
PLEASE see my UK Places to visit Playlist here
for mor great historic England,Wales and Scotland
In architecture, a folly is a building constructed primarily for decoration, but either suggesting by its appearance some other purpose, or merely so extravagant that it transcends the normal range of garden ornaments or other class of building to which it belongs. In the original use of the word, these buildings had no other use, but from the 19th to 20th centuries the term was also applied to highly decorative buildings which had secondary practical functions such as housing, sheltering or business use.[dubious -- discuss]
18th century English gardens and French landscape gardening often featured Roman temples, which symbolized classical virtues or ideals. Other 18th century garden follies represented Chinese temples, Egyptian pyramids, ruined abbeys, or Tatar tents, to represent different continents or historical eras. Sometimes they represented rustic villages, mills and cottages, to symbolize rural virtues.[1] Many follies, particularly during famine, such as the Irish potato famine, were built as a form of poor relief, to provide employment for peasants and unemployed artisans.

John Dee Master Of Darkness & Queen Elizabeth's Magician (Full Documentary)
John Dee (13 July 1527 – 1608 or 1609) was an English/Welsh mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, occultphilosopher,and advisor to Queen Elizabeth I. He devoted much of his life to the study of alchemy, divination, and Hermetic philosophy. He was also an advocate of England's imperial expansion into a British Empire, a term he is generally credited with coining.[6]
Viewed from a 21st-century perspective, Dee's activities would seem to straddle the worlds of magic and modern science, though this distinction would have been meaningless to him. One of the most learned men of his age, he had been invited to lecture on Euclidean geometry at the University of Paris while still in his early twenties. Dee was an ardent promoter of mathematics and a respected astronomer, as well as a leading expert in navigation, having trained many of those who would conduct England's voyages of discovery.
Simultaneously with these enormous efforts, Dee immersed himself in the worlds of sorcery, astrology and Hermetic philosophy. He devoted much time and effort in the last 30 years or so of his life to attempting to commune with angels in order to learn the universal language of creation and bring about the pre-apocalyptic unity of mankind. A student of the Renaissance Neo-Platonism of Marsilio Ficino, Dee did not draw distinctions between his mathematical research and his investigations into Hermetic magic, angel summoning and divination. Instead he considered all of his activities to constitute different facets of the same quest: the search for a transcendent understanding of the divine forms which underlie the visible world, which Dee called pure verities.
Dee amassed one of the largest libraries in England. His high status as a scholar also allowed him to play a role in Elizabethan politics. He served as an occasional advisor and tutor to Elizabeth I and nurtured relationships with her ministers Francis Walsingham and William Cecil. Dee tutored and enjoyed patronage relationships with Sir Philip Sidney, his uncle Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, Edward Dyer, and Sir Christopher Hatton.
Voynich manuscript
He has often been associated with the Voynich manuscript.Wilfrid Michael Voynich, who bought the manuscript in 1912, suggested that Dee may have owned the manuscript and sold it to Rudolph II. Dee's contacts with Rudolph were far less extensive than had previously been thought, however, and Dee's diaries show no evidence of the sale. Dee was, however, known to have possessed a copy of the Book of Soyga, another enciphered book.
