August 9, 2012 · Posted by SpintaxPLRArticles

Buckden Palace

Buckden Palace was a residence of the medieval bishops of Lincoln, {allowing|permitting} a {midway|halfway} break on the journey from London to their cathedral city. This Episcopal palace was {entirely|completely|totally|solely|fully} rebuilt in brick by Thomas Rotherham, who {became|turned|grew to become} bishop in 1472. After his {transfer|switch} to York in 1480, it was {completed|accomplished} by Bishop Russell.

The dominant {feature|function|characteristic} is a tower modeled on {the great|the good|the nice} brick tower at Tattershall Castle. Buckden’s tower {house is|home is} {oblong|rectangular} in plan with octagonal {corner|nook} turrets rising above parapet level. {However|Nevertheless|Nonetheless}, {it is|it’s} {less|much less} {ambitious|formidable|bold} in scale and lacks the machicolated crown, {which gives|which provides|which supplies} Tattershall such distinction.

The broad chimneybreast is a {prominent|outstanding|distinguished} and altogether {domestic|home} feature. {Another|One other} {obvious|apparent} {weakness|weak spot|weak point} is the tower’s proximity to the steeple of the parish church. {They are|They’re} separated {only|solely} by the width of {the former|the previous} moat. {This is|That is} typical of the castellated mansions of the later {Middle|Center} Ages and {shows|exhibits|reveals} that the builder was {more|extra} {interested in|thinking about|excited about|serious about|considering|keen on|enthusiastic about|focused on|inquisitive about|curious about|desirous about|fascinated about|fascinated by|concerned with|concerned about|all in favour of|interested by|fascinated with|occupied with|all for|involved in|eager about|taken with|excited by} {status|standing} than {defense|protection}, {though|although} such towers {must have|should have|will need to have} had some {value|worth} as refuge {in the|within the} {event|occasion} of {local|native} danger.

The tower {house|home} {could|might|may} {serve as|function} a self-contained residence {but the|however the} palace buildings {were|have been|had been} {far more|much more|way more} extensive. The {inner|internal|inside|interior} courtyard contained a lavish suite of residential buildings and {it is a|it’s a} pity {they have|they’ve} all vanished. {It is|It’s} {unusual|uncommon} to {find a|discover a} courtyard of this {era|period}, {which is not|which isn’t} quadrangular, so the {layout|format|structure} was {probably|in all probability|most likely} dictated by an older moated enclosure.

{As well as|In addition to} the tower {house|home}, the {inner|internal|inside|interior} courtyard preserves its diapered gate tower, with {a range|a variety|a spread} of ancillary buildings {attached|hooked up|connected} and the {length|size} of wall connecting the gatehouse to the tower house. This wall is pierced by arrow-slits {but|however} {is too|is just too|is simply too} {thin|skinny} for {a genuine|a real} curtain – the wall-{walk|stroll} is carried on a row of arches. {Much|A lot} of the precinct wall survives, {as well as|in addition to} an outer gate giving {access|entry} from the {High|Excessive} Street.
