Bamburgh Castle has stood guard above the spectacu

Bamburgh Castle has stood guard above the spectacular Northumberland coastline for over 1,400 years. Spanning nine acres of land on its rocky plateau, Bamburgh Castle is one of the largest inhabited castles in the country.

Home to a succession of kings from Henry VI to James 1 and the ﬁrst castle in the world to fall to gunpowder in the War of the Roses.

A charitable foundation and the coastal landmark that sparked the imagination of William Armstrong.

From around 1067 the Normans demolished at least 9

From around 1067 the Normans demolished at least 98 Saxon homes in Norwich to make way for the castle earthworks within which they built a wooden fort, surrounded by deep defensive dry ditches.

Once the land had settled, work was begun on the stone keep in 1094 by King William (Rufus) II. Following his death in 1100 it was continued by his brother King Henry I and completed by 1121.

Norwich Castle was designed to be a royal palace rather than a fortification. However, no Norman kings ever lived in it. The only time Henry I is known to have stayed at Norwich Castle was for Christmas 1121, a visit explored in detail in the displays in the Castle Keep.

Norwich Castle keep was built using limestone shipped from Caen in France at a cost of over three times the original value of the stone!

Originally the ground floor walls were faced in flint, in stark contrast to the white limestone of the Royal Palace on the upper level. The upper floor (where the balcony now stands) was divided into two sections. On the north side was the Great Hall, and on the south were the royal quarters which comprised of a large parlour, bedrooms and a private chapel. Within the outer walls is a walkway (fighting gallery) where soldiers could patrol the building.

The Castle’s Norman origins are explored in more detail on our Norman Connections website, which sets the Castle in an international architectural context.

The county gaol

From the 14th century the keep was used as a county gaol, until a new gaol, designed by Sir John Soane, was constructed both inside and around the keep in 1792-93.

The prison was quickly seen as outdated and difficult to patrol and so the outside block was demolished between 1822 and 1827.

Local architect William Wilkins won the competition (and £100) to design the new prison. Wilkins had a keen interest in archaeology and it’s thanks to his efforts that many original features such as the Norman pillar bases in the keep remain to this day.

The cathedral, located on Unthank Road, was constr

The cathedral, located on Unthank Road, was constructed between 1882 and 1910 to designs by George Gilbert Scott, Jr. as a parish church dedicated to John the Baptist, on the site of the Norwich City Gaol. The funds for its construction were provided by Henry Fitzalan-Howard, 15th Duke of Norfolk. He funded it as a generous gift to the Catholics of Norwich as a sign of thanksgiving for his first marriage to Lady Flora Abney-Hastings.

In 1976, it was consecrated as the cathedral church for the newly erected Diocese of East Anglia and the seat of the Bishop of East Anglia. In 2014, for the first time since 1558, a Pontifical High Mass was celebrated in this episcopal see's cathedral.

It is the second largest Roman Catholic cathedral in England, the largest being Westminster Cathedral. It is one of two cathedrals in the city of Norwich, the other being the Church of England Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, begun in the Norman style in 1096.

Norwich Cathedral is an English cathedral located

Norwich Cathedral is an English cathedral located in Norwich, Norfolk, dedicated to the Holy and Undivided Trinity. It is the cathedral church for the Church of England Diocese of Norwich and is one of the Norwich 12 heritage sites.

The cathedral was begun in 1096 and constructed out of flint and mortar and faced with a cream-coloured Caen limestone. An Anglo-Saxon settlement and two churches were demolished to make room for the buildings. The cathedral was completed in 1145 with the Norman tower still seen today topped with a wooden spire covered with lead. Several episodes of damage necessitated rebuilding of the east end and spire but since the final erection of the stone spire in 1480 there have been few fundamental alterations to the fabric.

The large cloister has over 1,000 bosses including several hundred which are carved and ornately painted.

Norwich Cathedral has the second largest cloisters in England, only exceeded by those at Salisbury Cathedral. The cathedral close is one of the largest in England and one of the largest in Europe and has more people living within it than any other close. The cathedral spire, measuring at 315 ft (96 m), is the second-tallest in England despite being partly rebuilt after being struck by lightning in 1169, just 23 months after its completion, which led to the building being set on fire. Measuring 461 ft (141 m) long and, with the transepts, 177 ft (54 m) wide at completion, Norwich Cathedral was the largest building in East Anglia. There is no entry charge to visit the cathedral; visitors are instead asked to make a suggested voluntary donation to help cover the costs of running the cathedral each year.

Riverside is an area in the city of Norwich in

Riverside is an area in the city of Norwich in the English county of Norfolk along the east bank of the River Wensum. Very close to the Central Business District, it lies between the river and the Great Eastern Main Line, with Norwich station at the northern end and Norwich City's Carrow Road stadium at the southern end.

The area was historically an industrial area with the river being Norwich's link to the coast. Companies such as engineering firm Boulton & Paul developed on the site. The engineering works closed in the late 1980s leaving the site largely derelict. For much of the 1990s it was mainly used as a park and ride car park for Norwich.

In 1994, Norwich City Council, along with private stakeholders, presented the first development plans for the area. The first phases of the redevelopment opened in 1999. This has seen the area developed as a mixed use site with a combination of leisure, retailing and residential land use. This includes a major supermarket, a multiscreen cinema, a bowling alley and a swimming pool.

For most of us, #life has been a paradox. It is mind boggling and at the same time, somehow makes perfect sense.

When hit with obscure oddballs and curveballs, as humans, we mostly find ourselves questioning our existence thereby resulting in the quest for our natural purpose.

One #UnexpectedCombination came about tonight when I diffused Pine, Lemon and Bergamot. At first glance, the colors reminded me of the Rastafar'I movement, with its connotation of a way of life philosophy and spirituality. The simple and clear cut fresh scent of Pine that complimented with the zest of Lemon and the grounding citrus aroma of Bergamot had a relaxing and calming effect.

By diffusing these essential oils, I, then came to a point where I search for my purpose in life.

Naming my #SignatureBlend Ikigai [Japanese for Finding Your Purpose], this is by far, my most reflective and spiritual blend. Also, these oils seem to give me more motivation to strive to be a better version of my own self tomorrow.

Each of us has our own intellect and thought proce

Each of us has our own intellect and thought process. When things get out of hand, we tend to succumb to the Flight - Fight Response, thereby increasing our stress levels, and anxiety at some point. Many people tend to get engulfed with these overwhelming situations and failed to focus on the things that matter.

As I was infusing this, I found inspiration to name this #UnexpectedCombination for my #SignatureBlends Sōmei [Japanese for Intelligence]. This blend invokes an air of high intellectual state, though it may not have reached the Alpha state of mind, but it definitely can clear your mind as well as your personal space for you to discern your own existence.

The powerful combination of R.C., Purification and Citrus Fresh not only gave a burst of sunshine in a bottle, but purified the very core of its very nature, giving a sense of holistic well-being.

Have you ever thought of any life changing decisions and not regret about it for it is a result of an intellectual process? Let's talk :)

Above the altar is the statues of Mama Mary, and Jesus. It is a calming piece of religious art that aids in getting yourself ready for mass or for a personal quiet prayer time.

Also, in this church, the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales are remembered.

The Forty Martyrs of England and Wales are a group of Catholic, lay and religious, men and women, executed between 1535 and 1679 for treason and related offences under various laws enacted by Parliament during the English Reformation. The individuals listed range from Carthusian monks who in 1535 declined to accept Henry VIII's Act of Supremacy, to seminary priests who were caught up in the alleged Popish Plot against Charles II in 1679. Many were sentenced to death at show trials, or with no trial at all.
