England

The Domesday Book

Northern Ireland is not technically ruled by England. However, it is part of the United Kingdom, of which England is the largest constituent part. At one time, the British conquered the whole of the island of Ireland. The last part of the country to resist their rule was the province of Ulster. In the 17th century, the Irish rulers of Ulster were finally dispossessed. Much of the land which was taken from them was given to settlers from Britain. At the time of the Irish War of Independence, the descendants of these settlers formed a majority of the population in 4 of the 9 counties in Ulster. They were called Unionists because they wanted to stay part of the UK where their ancestors had come from, and they threatened to rebel if they were forced to form part of an independent country. So the British offered to recognise the independence of 26 of the 32 counties in Ireland. The four counties where the Unionists were a majority, plus two ccounties where Nationalists who wanted independence were a majority, were to stay part of the UK. There was a civil war in Ireland between people who wanted to accept this treaty, and people who wanted to fight on and gain the independence of the whole country. The pro-treaty people won, so Ireland was partitioned into a 26-county independent country and 6 counties that were still in the UK. Today, four of the Six Counties have Nationalist majorities. However, Unionists have an overall majority of 58%. So these counties are still part of the UK.

the deepth of the tyne is constantlkly changing due to erosion. However there are plans to deepen it in the future

There's definetley one in Wales , about 20mins away from cardiff.There is not one in England!

Yes, Launceston Castle in the town of Launceston, in Cornwall is a medieval castle.

There are probably others but here is just the one that I know of.

Yes, England is covered in the things! There are hundreds of them all over the country.

Some are lived in like Windsor, the castle with the longest history of continuous occupation, to the once great castles, like Clare and Fotheringhay that have been reduced to rubble and only fragments of walls remain to be viewed; to the huge sentinels, empty towers like Rochester, the tallest keep in the country, ruinous inside but still standing, to those converted to luxurious hotels like Amberley in West Sussex.

Some are open to the public, Leeds in Kent is dubbed the most beautiful in England, running a close second is Bodiam in Sussex. Some are in private hands and not open to the public, like Allington, also in Kent, beautiful and small and hidden behind a wood on the river Medway. Some are remote, Peverill in Derbyshire, Dolwyddelan in north Wales, rising up out of nowhere on a rocky outgrop, with no warning. Others are in the middle of shopping areas and business districts, the Tower of London, Durham castle, Cliffords Tower in York.

Some are enormous with walls several metres thick, like Caerphilly, others are small and barely warrant the name castle, like Scotney in Kent. Some are vast sprawling constructions, added to over the years until they are small towns, like Windsor, Dover, Warwick. Others are more private and personal like Hever castle.

If you want to discover more about England's castles, just check the internet, or for a lovely informative coffee table book, the sumptuously named Plantagenet Somerset Fry has a book simply called 'Castles' which is my own castle bible.

between 7-9 hours

its 7 hours alone to London

It originates from horse-drawn wagons. In America and continental Europe, teams of 6-12 horses would be used to pull huge wagon loads. The horses would be arranged in pairs and the driver would sit on the left horse on the back row. This way he could whip the horses (holding the whip in his right hand). When a cart came the other way, he would pass on the right hand side. This way he could make sure the carts didn't scrape.

On the small island of Great Britain, monster-sized carts were never needed. Instead, the driver would sit on the cart. He would also sit on the right hand side, so he could whip the horses without hitting the cart with the whip.

wat year did macdonalds first come to the UK

Yes. You can usually send most things between countries, for a price between $35 and $90 - going between Australia and the UK.

It's not worth sending items of any value through international post due to the huge price for postage and the fee the receiver has to pay customs in tax, handling etc.

You would be better to either buy on a website in the Country to be posted to or to send a voucher they can use.

Ridings (from thirdings meaning thirds).

There are lot of famous footballers in the United Kingdom , some of them are Andy chapman, Andrew Johnson, Ben Rhodes, Barnard Joy, Chris Cattlin, Dan Preston, David Beckham and Gary Owen to name a few.

about half an hour per rotation of the London eye

it is quite slow but it is a spectacular view

i would recommend it to anyone who has not been on

but the que can be long if you don't book a champange ride or a privet tour which costs more money but it is worth it. if you don't want to pay extra try and come very early or late and hopefully you will miss the ques

hope this helps

i think the richer is the philippines because pilipinos have a warrior face

the wrong one. they could not adapt to guerrilla tactics. our navy with the help of the french kept them off balance, and with a few stunning defeats they capitulated. you need to do some research.

94 cents for a regular envelope. they told me it would take 10 days, but it was there in 3.

Westminster is in the City of London. It is a city in itself because it has an abbey, Westminster Abbey. However, he City of Westminster is a London borough so it is still part of London.

The Cheviot Hills and the River Tweed.

Hadrian's Wall may not be as natural but it is 75 miles long and built by the Romans. It borders England and Scotland.

Stonehenge has never actually been discovered because it was never lost. Since it was built people have always known were it was, even the Romans knew of its existence. The only real mystery is that knowbody can be absolutely certain why it was built and what its indended purpose was.

It was the era of the Industrial Revolution, when Britain was changing from a society where most people lived in the country and lived by farming, to one where most people lived in towns and worked in factories. Towns were growing rapidly, and the number of factories was increasing. Many people worked in factories: men, women and children, often in really awful conditions and for very long hours. Attempts were made to imporve conditions for workers, in 1819 the Factory Act forbidding the employment of children under nine in cotton-mills was passed, and iin 1825 the Cotton Mills Regulation ACt was passed limiting children under 16 to a 12-hour working day.

It was the beginning of the age of the steam train, the Stockton-Darlington railway opened in 1825, and in 1829 George Stephenson and his son Robert won a competition sponsored by the Liverpool and Manchester Railway with their Rocket, capable of travelling at almost thirty miles an hour!

In the 1820s, law and order was maintaned in London by the Bow Street Runners, who were badly paid and few in number. In 1829, the Metropolitan Police came into being, under a Commissioner at Scotland yard. There were 3000 constables originally, who wore top hats and blue frockcoats, and were armed only with wooden truncheons. They were known as 'peelers' or 'bobbies' after their creator. Other towns eventually followed London's example and established their own police forces.

Conditions in prisons and for convicts transported to Australia were very grim during this period. The Quaker reformer Elizabeth Fry was very active in the 1820s: she toured the country inspecting prisons, demanding reform, and founding women's associations and pressure groups. She was particularly concerned with the appaling conditions of women and children in prisons.

Probably from a defence stance. At the time London was being built, there were no aircraft. The centre of London is considerable distance from the coast and the only access for an attacking force would be by sailing up the Thames. This made it easy to defend !
