Durham Castle
In 995, a monk from Chester-le-Street brought the body of St. Cuthber here to protect it from the Danish. They chose a naturally fortified site within the river's abrasion incision loop as their new cathedral setting. As late as 1075 it rejected the Danish attack. Founded by the Conqueror William in 1072, but the only overland approach to the fort given immediately to Bishop Welcher was defended by Durham Castle The castle remained in the chief seat of the Bishop of Durham until 1836 When, Bishop Fun Mildert gave it to a newly founded university. It now functions as a university in university.
As seen from the whole wear, castles and cathedrals form a magnificent sight. It is a dominating cathedral, which can only be expected from the famous Norman church in England. Above the river the castle presents an entirely residential façade, a domestic building that protrudes from the large hall to the edge of the cliff. Clearly, a sharp drop was considered adequate protection. The Durham Cathedral is still essentially a Norman building, whereas the castle reflects the bishop's preference for change, in all centuries of the 11th to 19th centuries. Still a Norman fort, a large motto overlooks and includes the triangle Bailey.
The fence in the wear loop was given a stone enclosure wall for extra protection under the Bishop Flanbad in the early 12th century. Many of these walls remain featureless, especially on the west side of the cathedral building. Near the top of the north is a lock that was rebuilt in 1778. The short gap between the castle Motto and the eastern arm of the river was closed by stronger walls and ditch.
Dover Castle
Dover Castle rises to the top of a hill, crowning, a town or harbor, ending with a white cliff. The site was first fortified in the Iron Age, and medieval castles fill the area defined by the foot of the ancient hills-thirty-five acres. Thus the castle is of unusual size and exceptional strength.
Keep is one of the largest of the square Norman keep. It is the most elaborate of the square corner turrets and the front building, and is one hundred feet long, mighty cubes long in each direction. The building in front of this is an L-shaped structure on the main body of the tower, with its own three prominent towers. The building on the front was originally roofless, so attackers would be exposed to projectiles thrown from parapets. There is a Romanesque chapel where the direction of the accent changes a bit colorful, and the former building turret.
The stairs lead to the grand entrance entrance on the second floor level-another parallel usually with Newcastle and the first floor higher. Definitely, this arrangement does not provide an extra degree of security, but it is also front as this floor contained the royal hall and the sun
As the other major Normans hold, this level actually forms a dual story with the mural gallery running most of the way around the upper row Some private rooms are halls and It is conceived within the great thickness of the wall away from the sun. One of them includes a shaft and a well that sinks to the 350 foot foundation choke. The passage leads to another chapel, which is more delicate than the chapel just below it, and shows signs of a transition to gothic architecture. The floor below is similar in layout including the mural room.
