Flitwick is a small town and civil parish in Central Bedfordshire. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book as "a hamlet on the River Flitt". The nearby River Flit runs through Flitwick Moor, a nature reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Flitwick Castle was an 11th century castle and is located in Flitwick.
It was a small, timber Motte and bailey castle, surrounded by a moat. The castle was mentioned in the Domesday Book, in 1086, as being under the ownership of William Lovet, a Norman. Lovet had displaced Alwin, who had been the Saxon owner of Flitwick prior to the Norman Invasion.
The earthwork remains of the castle are on what is now a public green space known as Temple Field or Mount Hill. The ditches have been filled in and the mound is now about 20 feet high. The name Temple Field takes its name from the nearby church. The site is now a Scheduled Monument.
A motte and bailey castle is a European fortification with a wooden or stone keep situated on a raised area of ground called a motte, accompanied by a walled courtyard, or bailey, surrounded by a protective ditch and palisade. These were relatively easy to build with unskilled labour, but still effective from a militarily standpoint.
These castles were built across northern Europe from the 10th century onwards, spreading from Normandy and Anjou in France, into the Holy Roman Empire in the 11th century. The Normans introduced the design into England and Wales following their invasion in 1066. Motte and bailey castles were adopted in Scotland, Ireland, the Low Countries and Denmark in the 12th and 13th centuries. Windsor Castle, in England, is an example of a motte and bailey castle. By the end of the 13th century, the design was largely superseded by alternative forms of fortification, but the earthworks remain a prominent feature in many countries.
When it comes to replacing the balustrades in your home, Splashbacks of Distinction really are the company to call!
Most people think about a wooden baluster, which is also called a spindle or stair stick. These are usually lathe-turned form. The baluster is used to support the handrail on a flight of stairs or indeed any similar coping or parapet. When there are a number of baluster in a row, they form a balustrade.
Why not break away from the old fashioned wooden balustrade and opt for an ultra modern glass one. They're bright, clean and a doddle to keep clean and sparkling.
Splashbacks of Distinction are available to visit your Flitwick home to measure up and fit a quality glass splashback or one of our other toughened glass products. Glass is such a clean and modern medium for your home and you7#39;d be surprised just how much glass can transform your home.
