The church dates from the 12th century, although it is certain that a church stood on this site long before the Norman Conquest. It has one of the finest timber spire frames in England. The main street is lined with delightful creeper-covered 16th century cottages, some of half-timbered construction and is crossed by the Tillingbourne Stream. Attractions include traditional teashops and pubs. <img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/3/IKWX541356205028233.jpg'> ]]></description> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Corfe Castle - Dorset<link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=TGZU541356205025251</link> <description><![CDATA[From almost any direction Corfe Castle is one of the most spectacular ruined castles in Britain. Here in 978 A.D., King Edward, aged 18, was murdered at the instigation of his stepmother, who coveted the throne for her son. The castle was ruined by Roundhead forces during the Civil War in 1646 and after the war much of the stone was used to build houses in the village. The remains of the castle are now owned by the National Trust. The mellow Purbeck stone cottages are also a feature of this unspoilt village. <img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/1/MRRM541356205025251.jpg'> ]]></description> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Inner Hope - Hope Cove, Devon<link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=QWJV54135620502949</link> <description><![CDATA[Inner Hope, with its glorious background of cliffs, valleys and combes, is a timeless village of thatched cottages and narrow streets which retains the character of an old fishing community. The tiny harbour and extensive sands nestle in the shelter of the beautiful headland of Bolt Tail, offering miles of the finest coastal scenery in Britain. <img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/8/AGKZ54135620502948.jpg'> ]]></description> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Squatter Cottage, Ironbridge Gorge - Shropshire<link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=KTKR541356205023418</link> <description><![CDATA[Ironbridge Gorge in Coalbrookdale, recognised as a World Heritage Site, was the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. The World's first iron wheel, rails, steam locomotive and bridge were all made here. Blists Hill Open Air Museum allows the visitor to experience the life and atmosphere of a working Victorian community. The cottage is typical of the rough dwellings erected by squatters on common land. In 1861 it housed a family of nine. The pigsty reflects the rural influences which persisted in this early industrial area.</item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Shere Village, Shere - Surrey]]> http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=INHF541356205020439

Its unique setting in the County's only hill-top town was made even more famous as the setting for the Hovis bread television commercial. Shaftesbury, a Saxon fortified town, has a long history. In the Abbey in 981 A.D. Edward the Martyr, the 18 year old King, was buried after being murdered at Corfe Castle at the instigation of his stepmother.</item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Wheal Coates Mine, St. Agnes - Cornwall<link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=EDBE541356205026432</link> <description><![CDATA[This abandoned ruined tin mine engine-house perched hundreds of feet above the Atlantic Ocean on St. Agnes Head, has an almost eerie grandeur. In the 19th century the underground mine workings extended below the sea-bed itself several fathoms deep. The headland, wild and bare, forms part of the many spectacular North Cornwall cliff walks. The engine house and headland are now owned by the National Trust. <img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/1/CSXW541356205026431.jpg'> ]]></description> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Helford - Cornwall<link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=EWNX541356205030012</link> <description><![CDATA[Helford village, which straddles the creek, is an idyllic spot in a beautifully wooded combe. The road continues round the creek to the right and ends at the Shipwright's Arms. At all times, Helford is very beautiful, but it is at its best at high water on a June morning, when every other cottage is bedecked with roses of varying shades.</item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Windsor Castle, Windsor - Berkshire<link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=ZQSU541356205027041</link> <description><![CDATA[Windsor Castle is the oldest of all the English Royal homes and the largest inhabited castle in the world, covering thirteen acres. William the Conqueror built a castle here 1000 years ago and almost all succeeding monarchs have made alterations to the building, giving the castle the unforgettable skyline we see today. Many sovereigns and famous people are buried in St. George's Chapel, including Charles I, Henry VIII and Jane Seymour.</item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Lower Slaughter, Cotswolds - Gloucestershire<link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=WZSV541356205022253</link> <description><![CDATA[Close to Bourton-on-the-Water, Lower Slaughter lies under the foothills of the Cotswolds. Its name, derived from an Anglo-Saxon word, means "muddy or water place." The River Eye flows picturesquely through the centre of the village under small stone bridges. The cottages, built of local stone with stone roofs, date from the 17th and 18th centuries. </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Gold Hill, Shaftesbury - Dorset<link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=YAAU5413562050036</link> <description><![CDATA[This ancient and cobbled steeply descending street is probably the most photographed in Dorset.

The monument dates from between 2000 and 1400 B.C. It is difficult to imagine how men with only primitive tools could possibly have transported and erected these massive stones. Eighty of them came from the Prescelly Mountains in Wales. Stonehenge's origins and purpose are shrouded in mystery, but it seems it was built to calculate the annual calendar and seasons. Its axis is carefully aligned with the sunrise on 21st June, the longest day in the year. No wonder Thomas Hardy set the ending of his tragic novel "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" here amongst his "Temple of the Winds."</item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Tintagel - Cornwall<link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=FXXC541356205015041</link> <description><![CDATA[There are few places in England more romantic than Tintagel, where history and legend are completely interwoven. A place to experience the beauty and wildness of the Cornish coastline. A place to feel in touch with the distant past. Legend connects the site with King Arthur. It is not surprising that Cornwall has been called the Land of Merlin. However, the castle dates from c.1145, centuries after King Arthur lived, but a monastery was founded in A.D. 500. For many, Tintagel Castle has become a pilgrimage. The ruins stand on cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on what has become almost an island connected by a narrow neck of rock. <img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/1/CNJU541356205015041.jpg'> ]]></description> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[St. James Church, Shere - Surrey<link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=UXUB54135620509020</link> <description><![CDATA[ <img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/9/GLDS54135620509019.jpg'> ]]></description> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Inner Hope - Hope Cove, Devon<link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=VZDD54135620501145</link> <description><![CDATA[Inner Hope, with its glorious background of cliffs, valleys and combes, is a timeless village of thatched cottages and narrow streets which retains the character of an old fishing community.
