The Merchant’s House – A Restored Abbey Lawn Cottage
August 3rd, 2010 - by Editor - [Feature]
When the Abbey Lawn Cottages in Tewkesbury’s Church Street were restored in the 1960s, it was decided that Number 45 should be preserved to show what the house was like when it was first built in the late fifteenth-century. This building is now called The Merchant’s House and is open for people to visit.
The two storey building has been beautifully restored to show the original construction of a late medieval/early Tudor shop and home. Here you can see the original oak timber frame, complete with mortice and tenon joints, the wattle and daub walls and the smoke void, which was used instead of a chimney.
Picking And Storing Tree Fruit – Gardening
August 2nd, 2010 - by Editor - [Feature]
Ursula Buchan is a trained gardener, who has spent many years writing for national newspapers and magazines, notably The Daily Telegraph and The Spectator. Her fifteenth book, Back to the Garden, was published recently by Frances Lincoln.
Gardeners are often nagged by the question of how best to harvest and store the fruit that matures in their garden (that is, after their neighbours have had their fill). This isn’t easy, especially if you have inherited fruit trees when you have moved into a new house, so have no clue as to what they are.
The Untouched Coastline
August 2nd, 2010 - by Editor - [Feature]
With its coastline designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, historic Anglesey is a delight for walkers and nature lovers. The superb sign-posted Coastal Path is 220 km long (124 miles) and follows virtually the entire coastline, taking in or passing near many of Anglesey’s top sights; but there are many other attractions.
The island is located off the northwest coast of Wales and, at around 720 square kilometres (278 square miles), is one of Britain’s largest islands with a population of some 70,000. It is connected to Wales across the Menai Strait by the original Thomas Telford designed suspension bridge, which opened in 1826 and carries the A50. The later Britannia Bridge, which carries the railway line and the A55, was rebuilt after fire and reopened in 1972.
