The beauty of architecture

Hedingham Castle was built at the beginning of the 13th century in the era of William the Conqueror. The location on the hill allowed the castle to occupy a dominant position over the surrounding lands. The first owner was Aubrey de Vere, Norman baron. Today the castle is still privately owned Jason Lindsay and his wife are its rightful owners. The castle looks exactly as we imagine the medieval fortress. Everything is simple, strictly functional. The same situation, without any frills, was the situation of residential premises. Fireplaces on each tier, narrow windows that barely let in light, simple wooden furniture, pieces of leather hanging instead of doors that was how the inhabitants of the castle lived. Of course today everything inside looks much brighter and more elegant but the harsh stone walls and steep stairs keep the spirit of the times.

One of the best examples of the Norman style the oldest cathedral in Great Britain in Ely was founded in 673, but it acquired its modern appearance only by the middle of the 12th century. Its local name is “ship among the marshes”, as its relief form rises above the surrounding marshy swampy surroundings. In 970, on the site of this monastery destroyed by the Danes, a Benedictine monastery emerged which in 1108 became the residence of the bishop when a new diocese was established. Construction of the cathedral lasted almost three hundred years, from 1083 to 1375. At the abolition of the monasteries of Henry VIII, the cathedral suffered relatively little, although the statues in the chapel and the tomb of Etheldreda were seriously damaged. By 1541 the cathedral was restored.

One of the reviews: "One of the centrepieces of Cambridge, this large and open expense of green serves as the ideal meeting point and rendezvous for anyone congregating in Cambridge. Steeped in history, with my favourite aspect in particular being the role it plays in celebrating the supposedly first regulated game of football played in Cambridge, Parker’s Piece is much more than just a summertime meeting point and often hosts festivals and carnivals throughout the calendar year. On this most recent visit, we made our way across the common to the pubs and restaurants which run parallel to it and Regent Street, Cambridge."

Be sure to take here deliciously cooked beef on the grill, chicken in a creamy tomato sauce and flat iron steak. Millworks offers a nice brownie, salted caramel ice cream and caramel ice cream.
