In 1348-1350 the Black Death kills one-third of the English population including Kind Edwards daughter. War alone was taking lives everywhere much less the Black Death and other diseases that took a fearsome toll (Merriman 84, 176). The Black Death affected more than ninety percent of Europe’s population, some not directly but family members and such. Plague ravaged through many countries causing them a downfall to a lack of soldiers and the sickness was rampant across many countries. The Black Death wiped out about sixty percent of Europe’s population of eighty million at the time, which calculates to about fifty million (The Black Death: The Greatest Castrophe Ever). The population did not reach the level it had been in the 1300’s until about 1550, then it began to rise rapidly but Europeans still took precaution with the disease. For the next century, births and deaths remained balanced with higher mortality rates wiping out whole cities due to this disease that spread like wildfire. Europe only began to recover during the second half of the fifteenth century because of the disease became less rampant and started to die down, as well as wars (Merriman

“On the outskirts of town, within the verge of the peninsula, but not in close vicinity to any other habitation, there was a small thatched cottage. It had been built by an earlier settler, and abandoned because the soil about it was too sterile for cultivation, while its comparative remoteness put it out of the sphere of that social activity which already marked the habits of the emigrants. It stood on the shore, looking across a basin of the sea at the forest-covered hills toward the west.”

Our walk continues through the fields to Lartington Hall. Built in 1635 during the reign of Charles I, Lartington Hall was the ancestral home of the Maires family. They were one of the North’s wealthiest Catholic families, whose ancestry has been traced to the twelfth-century Lords of Appleby. The hall served as a Red Cross convalescent home during the war and after extensive restoration it became a hotel. The restored gardens were originally laid out by architect Joseph Hansom, most famous for introducing the Hansom

Starting in the early 14th century and ending around 1353, the Black Death was a horrific time in history. The Bubonic Plague killed about sixty-seven percent of Europe’s population. People living in Europe at the time of the Black Death responded differently to the devastation around them: many people fled, some stayed to investigate, and others saw it as an opportunity to obtain what others had lost, mostly money.

The castle was owned by many rich men. In 1086 the castle was owned by Godric Mappestone. In 1204 king John gave Goodrich castle to William Marshall, he built towers and more walls. Then the castle and earldom was passed to William de Valence, the husband of Marshall’s niece and half-brother to Henry III. Now it’s in hands of the English

The homesteads were sparse in these parts, and Devon’s home was about as remote as it could be. His parents had always assured him that living in the countryside was the good life, and that they preferred the quietness to the bright lights and rackets of town centers and cities. But lately Devon had become obsessed with the idea of leaving the village for the excitement of the capital. When not on excavations, his father often spent time working in a research facility in Tridentport. And when he was home, he told stories, thus planting seeds of

As I went to William Floyd Estate, I was aware of how to appreciate the historical person’s house. Not only the houses, I could appreciate the landscape surrounding the houses and imagined how actually lived there. Not only William Floyd Estate and Sagamore Hill, but also other historical houses are not just physical buildings. They contains history of that time period and lifestyle how they lived. Therefore, as they have been being preserved well so far, we need to be responsible for good and let more people visit there. Moreover, we need to preserve it with minimal repair and

The Bubonic Plague, more commonly referred to as the "Black Death," ravaged Europe between the years 1347 and 1350 (Herzog, 2000). During this short period, according to Herzog (2000), 25 million people (which were about one third of Europe's population at the time) were killed. In another article, Herlihy (1997), however, claimed that two thirds of Europe’s population were killed. Nevertheless, it is ascertained that thousands of people died each week and dead bodies littered the streets. Once a family member had contracted the disease, the entire household was doomed to die. Parents abandoned their children, and parent-less children roamed the streets in search for food. Victims, delirious with

Durham Cathedral is one of the oldest examples of Romanesque architecture present in England today. Although the cathedral was completed in the early 12th century there are signs of Gothic architecture present due to the close relation of Romanesque and Gothic styles. In Robert Scott's book The Gothic Enterprise he discusses how the early Gothic style pulled heavily from the Romanesque style of architecture and built upon it's basic themes. Durham Cathedral's extensive history shows how the church's style of architecture remains mainly Romanesque, but has impressions of other styles due to renovations in different eras.

The Tower of London is one of the most famous and visited historic monuments in the world. For some people it conjures up images of Norman architecture and towering battlements, but most associate it with arms and armour, ravens, the Crown Jewels, Yeoman Warders, imprisonment, death and ghostly apparitions. But this does not do it justice: the history of the Tower and its buildings is a vast, fascinating and complex subject, intertwined with the history of the country of England, its government, its kings and queens, and its people and institutions. The castle's first four centuries, during the Middle Ages, saw the development of the layout of buildings that we know today and its
