Description: | Old Windsor and Old Windsor Lock, Old Windsor being reduced to a suburb of New Windsor, although before the Conquest, Old Windsor was an important Manor belonging to the Saxon Kings. At one time there was a Palace here, but William the Conqueror built Windsor Castle, on what is now known as Castle Hill. It was intended as a defensive work, with no convenient residence, till Henry I completed additional buildings. Afterwards the Palace of Old Windsor was lost sight of and Windsor Castle became the palace of the King. (Windsor is not the least interesting for its tapestry work, where an attempt is being made to revive this old world industry, and much beautiful material has been worked there.) | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | ThamesPilot | Subjects: | Lantern slide Lock Parker Source to Sea | Temporal: | start=1911-01-01; end=1911-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Parker, W | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
