 明斯特-洛弗尔

想象一下英国的一个完美的夏日--温暖的阳光,只有一丝凉爽的微风,鸟儿的歌唱,远处某处教堂的钟声。

想象一下,在牛津郡中心一个风景如画的小村庄里,一座浪漫的废墟庄园坐落在一条慵懒的河流旁。 想象一下这一切,你可能就在科茨沃尔德地区威特尼附近的明斯特-洛威尔庄园。

进入村子后,你会沿着一条狭窄的路走下去,在经过酒店和旅馆之前,穿过河道,进入村子的主要(也是唯一)街道,两边都是平房。 沿着大厅的标志(有英国遗产的标志)走,大厅的入口是免费的,它位于教堂旁边,本身可以追溯到15世纪。 这里还有一个中世纪的鸽舍在旁边的田地里,向公众开放,但只能在外部观看。

明斯特-洛弗尔厅的历史是一段充满传奇和神秘的历史。

这座房子可以追溯到1435年,由第七任洛弗尔勋爵在早期建筑的基础上建造。 这片土地从12世纪起就属于洛弗尔家族。 然而,正是第九任也是最后一任洛弗尔男爵弗朗西斯的命运,引起了明斯特洛弗尔厅的神秘和传说。

他的父亲在玫瑰战争中站在兰开斯特家族一边,他死后,弗朗西斯-洛弗尔不是作为兰开斯特人而是作为约克党人长大的,并被理查德三世封为洛弗尔子爵。在与理查德三世在博斯沃斯战役中作战,国王被杀后,弗朗西斯逃走了,两年后回来参加了兰伯特-西梅尔的叛乱。在这之后,没有人确定他的命运如何了。

然而,据说在18世纪初,在大厅的建筑工程中,人们发现了一个地下房间或拱顶。 在这个房间里发现了一具骷髅,直立地坐在桌子前,周围是书、纸和笔。 这是第九任洛弗尔勋爵吗? 也许我们永远不会知道,因为此后再也没有发现过地下房间。

弗朗西斯-洛弗尔在博斯沃思战役后被宣布犯有叛国罪,他的土地重新归于皇家。 庄园在1602年被托马斯-科克爵士买下,在18世纪中期,莱斯特伯爵托马斯-科克拆除了房子。

大厅的废墟相当广泛。 照片(左)显示了通过入口大厅的景色,该大厅有一个美丽的回廊式屋顶。 许多墙壁上仍可看到原始的石膏工程。

但是,也许最吸引人的是明斯特-洛弗尔厅的环境--它真的是相当一流的。

在河边享受野餐,欣赏清澈的河水中清晰可见的鱼儿。 或者在河边的草地上散步。 从大厅出发,沿着脚下的小路穿过大门,仿佛要去观赏鸽子窝。

继续沿着河边的小路走,穿过草地,直到小路在一个小堰塘处穿过河流。 这里的水有时很深,足以让当地儿童游泳。 继续穿过小树林,直到你进入美丽的草地和田野,只有头上偶尔传来布里兹诺顿机场的飞机声打破了这里的宁静和安宁!

温德鲁什河流经英格兰一些最美丽的乡村,流经科茨沃尔德的城镇和村庄,如水边布尔顿、伯福德和巴林顿。 它也是科茨沃尔德这一地区羊毛贸易的源头。 即使在今天,威特尼的毛毯生产仍在继续。 沿着河岸,仍然可以看到毛纺厂的证据。发现。

在参观明斯特洛弗尔时,不要忘记去探索威奇伍德,这是另一个可以避开成群结队的夏季游客的地区,他们在科茨沃尔德更知名的村庄里。 这里曾经是古老的威奇伍德皇家狩猎森林,其中大部分都保存了下来。 这些村庄都有自己的魅力和美丽,其中一些村庄有温馨的乡村旅馆,提供美味的食物和不过一定要带上一张好的地图,因为在威奇伍德漂亮、狭窄、蜿蜒的小巷中很容易迷路

如何到达这里

明斯特-洛弗尔庄园位于明斯特-洛弗尔村,在威特尼以西3英里处的A40公路上。 从村子里沿着英国遗产的标志走。 请尝试我们的英国旅行指南,了解更详细的公路和铁路信息。
