Places to see in ( Bassenthwaite - UK )
Bassenthwaite is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Allerdale in Cumbria, England. The village is about 7 miles (11 km) east of Cockermouth, and is approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) from Bassenthwaite Lake. Containing just a single pub and no shops, it is largely an agricultural community, with two farms within the village itself, with a number of holiday homes. Boasting a Church of England Church (St John's) on its outskirts, together with a tiny Methodist chapel, it contains many elements of the archetypal English village including a green, primary school and a stream running through it.
Trafford Caravan Park is on Carlisle Road 6 miles (9.7 km) from the roundabout just outside Keswick. Bassenthwaite Village is at the foot of Skiddaw, one of the highest mountains in England at 3,054 feet (931 m). Robin Hood, Skiddaw, Ullock Pike, Longside Edge and Barf can be seen from the village.
'Bassenthwaite' is 'Bastun's clearing', pers.[onal] n.[ame] plus 'þveit' 'clearing', also 'common', 'lake'. The 1st el[ement] is usually taken to be the Anglo-French nickname or surname 'Bastun', originally meaning 'stick', while the 2nd is ON 'þveit' 'clearing'. The lake, in early times known as 'Bastun's water', takes its name from the village.
The church of St Bega is in fields near the lake, some distance away from the village, and was built about 950AD. It is a grade II* listed building, and is popular for weddings. It is the parish church of Bassenthwaite : St John's church was built later as a chapel of ease. The St Bega's Way walking route was described in a booklet published to raise funds for the church in 2008.

Places to see in ( Hawkshead - UK )
Places to see in ( Hawkshead - UK )
Hawkshead is a village and civil parish in Cumbria, England, which attracts tourists to the South Lakeland area. The parish includes the hamlets of Hawkshead Hill, 1.2 miles (1.9 km) to the north west, and Outgate, a similar distance north. Hawkshead contains one primary school but no secondary school and four public houses.
Hawkshead is just north of Esthwaite Water, in a valley to the west of Windermere and east of Coniston Water. It is part of Furness, making it a part of the ancient county of Lancashire. The township of Hawkshead was originally owned by the monks of Furness Abbey; nearby Colthouse derives its name from the stables owned by the Abbey. Hawkshead grew to be an important wool market in medieval times and later as a market town after the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1532. It was granted its first market charter by King James I in 1608. In 1585, Hawkshead Grammar School was established by Archbishop Edwin Sandys of York after he successfully petitioned Queen Elizabeth I for a charter to establish a governing body.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, Hawkshead became a village of important local stature. Poet William Wordsworth was educated at Hawkshead Grammar School, whilst Beatrix Potter lived nearby, marrying William Heelis, a local solicitor, in the early 20th century. Much of the land in and around the village is now owned by the National Trust. The National Trust property is called Hawkshead and Claife.
With the formation of the Lake District National Park in 1951, tourism grew in importance, though traditional farming still goes on around the village. Hawkshead has a timeless atmosphere and consists of a characterful warren of alleys, overhanging gables and a series of mediaeval squares. It is eloquently described in William Wordsworth's poem The Prelude.

St Cyriac's A 14th Century Church In The Village Of Lacock.
St Cyriac's Church is a 14th-century Church of England church, located in the village of Lacock, Wiltshire.
The Norman architecture base to the current church, funded jointly by local landowners Edward of Salisbury of Lacock and William II, Count of Eu of Lackham, may have been built on the site of a previously established Saxon church. It is dedicated to a Norman saint, St. Cyriac. The interior has many later monuments to local land owners, including the Baynards, Bonhams, Crokes, Sharingtons, Talbots and Awdreys.
The church was partly rebuilt in the 14th century, with decorated tracery in a north transept window. But with Lacock a prosperous market town on the Bath, Somerset sheep droving route to London, a more extensive 15th-century rebuild was undertaken from the substantial local tax revenues. This created the perpendicular church on a traditional cruciform plan that exists today, and included the addition of a two-bay east chapel funded by the Bonham and Croke families, which has an east chancel arch window of 6 lights.
In 1604 the recessed octagonal tower was rebuilt, followed later by the cottage or south annex, comprising two storeys; an attic was built in a rusticated style, described then as the new Yle in 1619. After his death in 1636, a series of brass plaques were placed in the church floor commemorating the life of Sir Robert Baynard. (These were stolen in mid-2004, but quickly returned after a national appeal by police.) The chancel was rebuilt in 1777, in a style out of keeping with the main late-medieval church.
In the late 1800s, the new owners of Lackham House, the Baynard family, had the then named Lackham chapel, now the Lackham or Baynard, chapel completely rebuilt. A new roof was put on the transept, which was filled with north-facing pews for the Baynard family and their estate workers. In 1861, again funded by the Banyard family, A.W. Blomfield undertook restoration work on the church, including: raising of the transept roofs; a new front; breaking up of the high box pews; taking down the galleries and organ at the west end; breaking in half of ledger stones from the floor. In 1902, Sir Harold Brakspear remodelled the church in a way sympathetic to his friend and local resident, the photographic pioneer William Henry Fox Talbot.
In 1960 the church was designated as Grade I listed.

THE DEEPEST DARKEST GOTHS OF WHITBY VISIT LANERCOST PRIORY
The beautiful and now tranquil setting of Augustinian Lanercost Priory belies an often troubled history. Standing close to Hadrian's Wall, it suffered frequent attacks during the long Anglo-Scottish wars, once by Robert Bruce in person. The mortally sick King Edward I rested here for five months in 1306-7, shortly before his death on his final campaign. Yet there is still much to see in this best-preserved of Cumbrian monasteries. The east end of the noble 13th-century church survives to its full height, housing within its dramatic triple tier of arches some fine monuments.
Lanercost Priory was founded about 1166 by Henry II. When completed in 1220, canons came from the priory in Norfolk, and remained for some 370 years until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536, by Henry VIII.
The building went to Thomas Dacre of Naworth Castle nearby, who converted some of the buildings into private dwellings (now called the Dacre Hall). The rest of the building fell into disrepair. About 1740 it was decided to restore the nave, and use it as a Parish Church. Anthony Salvin, who had done some restoration and building work at Naworth Castle in 1844, was responsible for the Parish Church as it is now.
The East window contains some fragments of 16th Century glass removed from the Dacre Hall, the dining room of Sir Thomas Dacre after the dissolution. In the North transept is a monument to Lady Elizabeth Dacre Howard also by Sir J Boehm.
he West Front of the Church is a fine example of early English architecture (about 1200). At the top stands a figure of Saint Mary Magdalene, the Patron Saint of the Priory, which was carved about 1270.
In the North aisle are three stained glass window by Sir Edward Burne-Jones. There is also a bronze relief, containing the Entombment and The Nativity, designed by Burne-Jones, and executed by Sir Joseph Boehm, as a memorial by George Howard of Naworth Castle to his parents. (The original designs, in chalk, for these are in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge). In the North West corner stands the Cross, the base of which is outside on the green and has been there since 1214.
The remains of the inner arch of the gatehouse. The intact gatehouse of nearby Wetherall Priory gives a good idea of what Lanercost’s entrance would have looked like.
The remainder of the Priory, second only to Furness Abbey in interest as a ruin, is now in the hands of English Heritage. There are the remains of the North and South Transepts, the Choir, the Sanctuary and the Cellarium.
The Prior’s Tower is a four storey medieval stone fortified tower, with an adjoining two storey range to the west. it was extensively remodelled in the 16th century by the Dacres as a dwelling, when a large fireplace was built on the first floor of the west range (now known as Dacre Hall) and new windows inserted in the tower.
The Vicarage Tower is Known as King Edward’s Tower after King Edward I lodged there on his three visits to Lanercost. it is a 13th century two storey stone Pele Tower, with a line of dog-tooth ornament below the parapet.
Within the ruins are several interesting tombs, including that of Sir Thomas Dacre.
An audio guided tour of the ruins is available from the English Heritage shop. There is a book and gift shop in the English Heritage ticket office, and also in the Parish Church. There are occasionally craft fairs held in the Dacre Hall.

Brocken Spectre In The English Lake District..wmv
Taken on the sixth of February 2012 whilst walking in Saint Johns In The Vale in the English Lake District. The subject is the Brocken Spectre, filmed and photographed from a ridge above Saint Johns church, looking out towards Blencathra, one of the mountains in the Skiddaw range. Blencathra, the Devils Peak.
Saint Johns in the vale church is in the valley facing Blencathra and directly below my recorded shot of the brocken spectre. No matter which way you look at it, this short blurred film has a spiritual feeling, drawing us closer to god, whoever your god is, he is represented here.
