'''Bluewater''' is an [[Shopping mall|out of town shopping centre]], located in [[Greenhithe]], [[Kent]], [[England]] and {{convert|17.8|mi|km|1}} east south-east of [[London]]. Opened on 16 March 1999, it is owned by four major [[UK]] institutions, [[Prudential plc]] and [[Prudential Property Investment Managers|PRUPIM]] (35%), Lend Lease Europe Ltd (30%), the Lend Lease Retail Partnership (25%) and Hermes (10%).<ref>[http://www.bluewater.co.uk/bottom-navigation/corporate Bluewater | Corporate]</ref>

Situated on a 240-acre (97 ha) plot in a former [[chalk]] [[quarry]], the centre has a sales floor area of 154,000 m2 (1,600,000 ft2) over two levels, making it the [[List of shopping centres in the United Kingdom by size|fourth-largest shopping centre in the UK]] (after the [[MetroCentre (shopping centre)|MetroCentre]], [[Trafford Centre]] and [[Westfield Stratford City]]). Elsewhere in Europe only [[Istanbul]]'s [[Cevahir Mall]] and [[Vienna]]'s ([[Vösendorf]]) [[Shopping City Süd]] are bigger. The floor plan is a triangular shape with 330 stores, including 3 [[Anchor store|anchors]], 40 cafés and restaurants, and a 13-screen cinema. The centre employs 7,000 people and serves over {{Nowrap|27 million}} visitors a year. A main rival is the [[Lakeside Shopping Centre]] and retail park some nine miles (14 km) away in [[West Thurrock]], [[Essex]].

== History ==

In 1994, quarry operator [[Blue Circle Industries|Blue Circle]] approached Australian mall developer [[Lend Lease Corporation|Lend Lease]] to form a partnership.
Instead, Lend Lease bought the land and the project from Blue Circle, and under the leadership of its CEO [[Peter Walichnowski]] gathered a group of major investors, which included: [[Prudential plc|Prudential]], [[Barclays plc|Barclays Mercantile]], Hermes (acting for Britel), [[Lloyds TSB|Lloyds Leasing]], and [[Royal Bank of Scotland|Royal Bank Leasing]]. Lend Lease also formed a pool of minor investors, called the Lend Lease Retail Partnership, with 18 institutions and corporations.

[[John Lewis Partnership|John Lewis]] was the first major tenant to sign up in February 1995, albeit with major concessions, such as the offer of {{convert|300000|sqft|m2|abbr=on}}, one-fifth of the entire floor space, on three levels. This gave Bluewater credibility to sign more names, including the two other [[anchor store]]s. [[House of Fraser]] next followed in June 1996 by [[Marks & Spencer]]. 90% of the retail space was committed by March 1998.

Construction, undertaken by [[Bovis Lend Lease]],<ref>[http://www.contractjournal.com/Articles/1997/09/17/20855/bovis-reputation-is-cornering-the-shopping-market.html Bovis' reputation is cornering the shopping market] Contract Journal, 17 September 1997</ref> started on 1 May 1996. At its peak, the site employed 2,500 workers simultaneously. In all, 20,000 people worked {{Nowrap|11.5 million}} hours on the construction of Bluewater. At the planned opening date, 16 March 1999, Bluewater was inaugurated with 99% of the shops open for business. The total cost of construction was around [[GBP|GBP £]]400 million.<ref>Emma Dorreen, editor/project manager; Michael Evamy, writer (1999). ''Vision to Reality''. London: Lend Lease. ISBN 0-9537054-0-4.</ref>

In May 2005, Bluewater introduced a code of conduct to ban swearing, clothing that obscures the face (including [[hoody|hoods]] and [[baseball caps]]), and groups of more than five without the intention to shop.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/4534903.stm BBC news-Bluewater introduces code of conduct]</ref><ref name="Timesonline-Bluewater introduces code of conduct">{{cite news|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1609342,00.html|title=Timesonline-Bluewater introduces code of conduct|accessdate=2009-04-15 | location=London | work=The Times | date=12 May 2005 | first1=Jenny | last1=Booth}}</ref> The policy has divided opinion, although [[Tony Blair]] did show support.<ref name="Timesonline-Bluewater introduces code of conduct" />

In late 2006, Dartford Borough Council granted planning permission for Bluewater to build a two-story events venue<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/6210290.stm BBC news-events venue]</ref> of 5200 m2, and further extend the south side of the centre. Construction began in early 2010 and when completed added more restaurants to the cinema section, including a Jamie's Italian, Wagamamas and Browns. The events centre has two floors, and has held events such as the [[BBC]] Good Food Show Spring. There is disabled access and lifts.

Liste der Kirchen und Kathedralen in London

2012-01-17T18:52:32Z

Pit-yacker: article deleted at afd

[[Image:StPaulsCathedralSouth.jpg|thumb|St. Paul's from the South]]
[[London]] is the location of many famous '''[[Church (building)|churches]], [[chapel]]s and [[cathedral]]s''', in a density unmatched anywhere else in [[England]].<ref>Simon Bradley, Nikolaus Pevsner. ''London: The City Churches'', p. 16. Penguin Books, 1998</ref>

==History==
{{Citations missing|date=December 2007}}

===Wren & Anglican Churches===
Before the [[Great Fire of London]] in 1666, the [[City of London]] had around 100 churches in an area of only one square mile (2.6 km2).<ref>[http://www.london.anglican.org/NewsShow_2749 [[John Betjeman|Betjeman, John]]</ref> Of the 86 destroyed by the Fire, 51 were rebuilt along with [[St Paul's Cathedral]].<ref>[[Roy Porter|Porter, Roy]] (1994) ''London: A Social History'', Cambridge: Harvard. pp.87-88</ref> The majority have traditionally been regarded as the work of [[Christopher Wren|Sir Christopher Wren]], but although their rebuilding was entrusted primarily to him, the role of his various associates, including [[Robert Hooke#Hooke the architect|Robert Hooke]] and [[Nicholas Hawksmoor]] especially, is currently being reassessed and given greater emphasis<ref>Cooper, Michael (2003) ''A More Beautiful City: Robert Hooke and the Rebuilding of London after the Great Fire''. Sutton Publishing Ltd. ISBN 0-75-092-959-0</ref><ref>[[Hart, Vaughan|Vaughan Hart]], ''Nicholas Hawksmoor: Rebuilding Ancient Wonders''. Yale University Press, 2002. ISBN 0300096992</ref>

With regard to [[Anglicanism|Anglican]] churches, as opposed to Catholic churches, [[nonconformism|nonconformist]] chapels or meeting houses, the designs of the Wren office provided a new standard for British church architecture ever since,<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/trail/church_state/modern/floodgates_of_reform_09.shtml BBC History: Church & State]</ref> as well as giving a distinctive face to the Anglican church in London.<ref>"For my own part I view the work of Sir Christopher Wren as a beacon which never fails to inspire. And there is no finer monument of his genius than the character he gave to London," Sir Edwin Lutyens. From [http://www.london-city-churches.org.uk/ London City Churches]</ref> Wren also designed a number of Anglican churches outside the City, including [[St James's Church, Piccadilly|St James's, Piccadilly]] and [[St Clement Danes]]. After the Wren era, Hawksmoor was responsible for six of the great Anglican churches in the [[East End of London]] (for example [[Christ Church, Spitalfields]]), and other architects such as Hooke, [[James Gibbs]] and [[John James (architect)|John James]] contributed significantly to Anglican church architecture in London.

===Metropolitan area===
[[Image:UkrainianCatholicCathedralLondon.JPG|thumb|right| The building of the [[King's Weigh House]] (an example of nonconformist church architecture) today serves as the [[Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Family in Exile]].]]London's churches and chapels are extraordinarily numerous and diverse. Anglican and nonconformist churches and chapels are most numerous, but there are also many [[Catholicism|Catholic]] churches as well as places of worship for non-[[Christianity|Christian]] religions.

Most of the Anglican churches lie within the Anglican dioceses of [[Diocese of London|London]] to the north and [[Anglican Diocese of Southwark|Southwark]] to the south. For historical reasons, those parts of London north of the [[River Thames|Thames]] but east of the [[River Lea]] fall within the [[Diocese of Chelmsford]]. The Catholic dioceses that cover Greater London are, north of the Thames and west of the Lea, the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Westminster|Archdiocese of Westminster]]; south of the Thames the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark|Archdiocese of Southwark]]; and north of the Thames and east of the Lea, the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Brentwood|Diocese of Brentwood]]. There are still some two thousand Anglican churches alone, across the capital and if nonconformist and other denominations are included, they cover every age and style, in the design and evolution of which at least six hundred different architects have made contributions. As London expanded during the early 19th century, many new churches and chapels were built independently by the growing nonconformist urban population; to match the growth in nonconformist churches and chapels, the Anglican "[[Waterloo church]]" building programme saw numerous Anglican churches constructed across south London in the first half of the century.

===Significance===
Although many churches and chapels were entirely or partly lost to 19th-century demolitions and to bombing in the [[Second World War]], many historic, architecturally significant and religiously significant buildings remain, particularly in the City of London and the neighbouring [[City of Westminster]]. A number of the churches are mentioned in the [[nursery rhyme]] ''[[Oranges and Lemons]]''. Churches in this list belong to various [[Christian denominations|denominations]], as indicated.

==Within London Boroughs==
{{Expand list|date=February 2011}}
[[Greater London]] is divided into 32 [[London Borough]]s, and the [[City of London]] – the ancient core and financial centre. While there is evidently an innumerable and ever increasing number of new [[Pentecostalism|Pentecostal]], independent and ethnic Diaspora churches in London, mostly meeting in temporary venues, this list is intended to include many of the more permanent churches and buildings which identify themselves as a place of Christian worship, and the denominations appended are those by which they self-identify.

'''Bluewater''' is an [[Shopping mall|out of town shopping centre]], located in [[Greenhithe]], [[Kent]], [[England]]. Opened on 16 March 1999, it is owned by four major [[UK]] institutions, [[Prudential plc]] and [[Prudential Property Investment Managers|PRUPIM]] (35%), Lend Lease Europe Ltd (30%), the Lend Lease Retail Partnership (25%) and Hermes (10%).<ref>[http://www.bluewater.co.uk/bottom-navigation/corporate Bluewater | Corporate]</ref>

Situated on a 240-acre (97 ha) plot in a former [[chalk]] [[quarry]], the centre has a sales floor area of 154,000 m2 (1,600,000 ft2) over two levels, making it the [[List of shopping centres in the United Kingdom by size|third largest shopping centre in the UK]] after the [[Trafford Centre]] in [[Manchester]]. Elsewhere in Europe only [[Istanbul]]'s [[Cevahir Mall]] and [[Vienna]]'s ([[Vösendorf]]) [[Shopping City Süd]] are bigger. The floor plan is a triangular shape with 330 stores, including 3 [[Anchor store|anchors]], 40 cafés and restaurants, and a 13-screen cinema. The centre employs 7,000 and serves over {{Nowrap|27 million}} visitors a year. A main rival is the [[Lakeside Shopping Centre]] and retail park some nine miles (14 km) away in [[West Thurrock]], [[Essex]].

[[Image:Bluewater3770.JPG|thumb|The access roads and some of the parking, showing clearly the walls of the [[chalk]] [[quarry]] in which it was built]]
In 1994, quarry operator [[Blue Circle Industries|Blue Circle]] approached Australian mall developer [[Lend Lease Corporation|Lend Lease]] to form a partnership.
Instead, Lend Lease bought the land and the project from Blue Circle, and under the leadership of its CEO [[Peter Walichnowski]] gathered a group of major investors, which included: [[Prudential plc|Prudential]], [[Barclays plc|Barclays Mercantile]], Hermes (acting for Britel), [[Lloyds TSB|Lloyds Leasing]], and [[Royal Bank of Scotland|Royal Bank Leasing]]. Lend Lease also formed a pool of minor investors, called the Lend Lease Retail Partnership, with 18 institutions and corporations.

With the Bluewater project finally under way, it was time to sign up the tenants, beginning with the major ones. [[John Lewis Partnership|John Lewis]] was the first in February 1995, albeit with major concessions, such as the offer of {{convert|300000|sqft|m2|abbr=on}}, one-fifth of the entire floor space, on three levels. Still, this gave Bluewater the credibility it needed to sign more names, including the two other [[anchor store]]s. [[House of Fraser]] was next and in June 1996 [[Marks & Spencer]] signed too. By March 1998, 90% of the retail space was committed.

Construction, which was undertaken by [[Bovis Lend Lease]],<ref>[http://www.contractjournal.com/Articles/1997/09/17/20855/bovis-reputation-is-cornering-the-shopping-market.html Bovis' reputation is cornering the shopping market] Contract Journal, 17 September 1997</ref> started on 1 May 1996. At its peak, the construction site employed 2,500 workers simultaneously. In all, 20,000 people worked {{Nowrap|11.5 million}} hours on the construction of Bluewater. At the planned opening date, 16 March 1999, Bluewater was inaugurated with 99% of the shops open for business. The total cost of construction was around [[GBP|GBP £]]400 million.<ref>Emma Dorreen, editor/project manager; Michael Evamy, writer (1999). ''Vision to Reality''. London: Lend Lease. ISBN 0-9537054-0-4.</ref> At the time of its construction, Bluewater was the largest shopping centre in Europe.

In May 2005, Bluewater introduced a code of conduct to ban swearing, clothing that obscures the face (including [[hoody|hoods]] and [[baseball caps]]), and groups of more than five without the intention to shop.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/4534903.stm BBC news-Bluewater introduces code of conduct]</ref><ref name="Timesonline-Bluewater introduces code of conduct">{{cite news|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1609342,00.html|title=Timesonline-Bluewater introduces code of conduct|accessdate=2009-04-15 | location=London | work=The Times | date=12 May 2005 | first1=Jenny | last1=Booth}}</ref> This policy has divided opinion, with high-profile figures such as [[Tony Blair]] showing his support,<ref name="Timesonline-Bluewater introduces code of conduct" /> but has been criticised in the liberal press and those working with children locally.

In late 2006, Dartford Borough Council granted planning permission for Bluewater to build a two-story events venue<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/6210290.stm BBC news-events venue]</ref> of 5200 m2, and further extend the south side of the centre.

'''Ricky Whittle''' (born 23 November 1978) is a [[United Kingdom|British]] [[actor]] from [[Oldham]], [[Greater Manchester]].<ref>{{citation|title=Soap star Ricky on way to Oldham|page=9|newspaper=[[Oldham Evening Chronicle]]|date=2008-09-09}}</ref>

==Biography==
The son of former [[Royal Air Force]] serviceman Harry Whittle, Whittle grew up travelling with his father's career around the world, with a home base at [[Burghfield Common]] near [[Reading, Berkshire]].<ref>http://www.rickywhittle.com/biography.html</ref>

A keen sportsman, Whittle represented England and the United Kingdom at youth level in football, rugby, American football and athletics. After having been watched by [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] and [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]], an injury brought about the pursuit of a degree in criminology at the [[University of Southampton]].

===Career===
At university, Whittle began [[model (person)|modelling]], becoming the face of a [[Reebok]] campaign in 2000. This brought him to the attention of casting agents for [[Sky One]]'s ''[[Dream Team (TV series)|Dream Team]].'' Cast as Ryan Naysmith, Whittle left university to pursue an acting career. Carrying on with his sports ambitions, in the third series Whittle broke his leg in seven places, and was forced into a long hospital stay. The writers wrote a broken leg into the ''Dreamteam'' script, allowing Whittle a slower recuperation.

After playing his first gay character as a guest star on [[BBC One]]'s ''[[Holby City]],'' Whittle played [[Calvin Valentine]] in the popular [[Channel 4]] [[soap opera]] ''[[Hollyoaks]]'', up until his character was killed off after Whittle decided to leave the show in May 2010.

In January 2008, Ricky appeared on a celebrity edition of ''[[The Weakest Link]]'', reaching the final, but losing out to ''[[Crimewatch|Crimewatch UK]]'' star, [[Rav Wilding]].

===Strictly Come Dancing===
In August 2009, Whittle was announced as a contestant on the [[BBC One]] reality television series ''[[Strictly Come Dancing]],'' paired with [[Australia]]n professional dancer [[Natalie Lowe]].<ref>[http://tv.sky.com/strictly-come-dancing-2009-line-up Full Strictly Come Dancing 2009 Line-up]</ref> A fellow contestant on the programme, [[Ali Bastian]], also starred with him in ''Hollyoaks''. Whittle made it through to the final of the competition (beating [[Rav Wilding]], to whom he had lost ''[[The Weakest Link]]'' in 2008), and competed against television presenter [[Chris Hollins]] and his dance partner [[Ola Jordan]] for the ''Strictly Come Dancing'' glitterball trophy. However, he lost the battle and ended up second, despite winning the judges' scores 190-186.

===Personal life===
From October 2007 Whittle was romantically involved with fellow ''Hollyoaks'' actress [[Carley Stenson]], who plays [[Steph Cunningham]],<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/soaps/1681661/Ricky-Whittle-says-hed-love-to-marry-girlfriend-Carley-Stenson-one-day.html | location=London | work=The Sun | first=Cara | last=Lee | title=Ricky Id love to marry Carley | date=12 September 2008}}</ref> residing in [[Billinge Higher End]], [[Wigan]].<ref>[http://www.sthelensstar.co.uk/news/4564360.Ricky_to_waltz_his_way_onto_Strictly_Come_Dancing/]</ref>

Having recovered from his broken leg, Whittle spends his spare time playing [[running back]] for the Manchester Titans [[American Football]] team.<ref>http://www.flagontheplay.co.uk/british_american_football_news_2.php</ref>

At 5.30 a.m. on 27 November 2009 Whittle was arrested by [[Merseyside Police]] on suspicion of [[assault]], after turning himself in at [[St Helens, Merseyside|St Helens]] Police Station. The car Whittle had been driving in the early hours of that morning had collided with paparazzi on Duke Street in Liverpool's City Centre. Whittle was released on [[bail]], after police questioning, later that day. The charges of assault were later dropped and replaced with a charge of [[dangerous driving]]. Whittle has since instructed lawyers to take action against the papparazzi who made the initial allegations of assault.<ref>[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1231500/Strictly-Come-Dancing-Ricky-Whittle-races-fpr-rehearsal-held-police-running-photographer.html Strictly Come Dancing: Show in crisis as favourite Ricky Whittle is held over assault at dailymail.co.uk]</ref>

Beamish Hall

2010-04-05T17:18:59Z

Pit-yacker: add reference to place dead IoE link

[[Image:Beamish Hall - geograph.org.uk - 85676.jpg|thumb|Beamish Hall.]]
'''Beamish Hall''' is a mid 18th century country house, now converted to a hotel, which stands in 24 acres of grounds near the town of [[Stanley, County Durham]]. It is a [[Grade II* listed building]].<ref>{{citation |title=Beamish Hall |publisher=Heritage Gateway |url=http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=439252&resourceID=5 |accessdate=5 April 2010}}</ref>

==History==

The history of Beamish Hall can be traced back to the [[Norman Conquest]]. The name of Beamish, is derived from a corruption of the Norman word 'Beauvis', meaning beautiful place, or the old French phrase 'bew-mys' which when translated means 'beautiful [[mansion]]'.

Originally built as a present in 1268 for the wedding of Isabella de la Leigh and Guiscard de Charron, the Manor went on to be occupied by five generations of Charrons and later Monbouchers. The last family member died in 1400. During the [[Middle Ages]], the fortified manor was occupied by various local [[aristocrat]]s, including members of the Percy family.

The manor of Beamish was forfeited to the Crown by Thomas Percy, [[Earl of Northumberland]] as a consequence of his part in the [[Rising of the North]] in 1569. A manor house (on the site of which the present house was later built), was built in the early 17th century probably by the Wray family.

In 1683 the manor was purchased by Timothy Davison a wealthy [[Newcastle upon Tyne]] merchant. He was the Mayor of Newcastle in 1673 and a governor of the merchants company of Newcastle. His family consisted of eleven sons and five daughters. In 1714 his eldest surviving son, William, married Dulcibella (the daughter of John Morton, Rector of [[Sedgefield]] and Dulcibella Naylor). In 1739 their eldest daughter Mary Davison, then heiress of the estate, married [[Eden Baronets|Sir Robert Eden, 3rd Baronet]] of [[Windlestone Hall]].

The Hall was built in the mid 18th century to replace the old manor. The original three storeyed seven bayed main front was soon extended by the addition of a further three bays.

In 1803 Catherine Eden, a daughter of Sir John Eden 4th Baronet, married [[Robert Eden Duncombe Shafto]] of [[Whitworth Hall, County Durham]] . In 1904 their grandson Rev Slingsby Duncombe Shafto inherited the estate and thereupon took Eden as an additional surname. He was [[High Sheriff of Durham]] in 1908.

The Edens added a rear block to the house in 1813 and substantial further alterations and additions were made in 1897 and 1910 including an entrance porch with six [[Ionic order]] columns, ballrooms and a winter garden.

In 1949 following the death of Robert Shafto, the property was sold to the [[National Coal Board]] and the family moved to [[Bavington Hall]]. In 1969 the house was acquired by Durham County Council and from then until 1995 it was occupied by a Local Education Authority residential school. After being declared surplus to the council's needs, the Hall stood empty until August 2000. Later in that year it was again sold and was refurbished by new owners and converted into a hotel.

[[Beamish Museum]] now occupies part of the parkland in which the house stands. The hall is nearing the end of a renovation, which intends to restore the ancestral home to its original splendour. The grounds of the hall have also been themed, as 'Beamish Wild', to appeal to families; with aerial rope courses and a bird of prey conservation area, which includes [[vulture]]s, [[eagle]]s and [[owl]]s amongst other species.

'''Auckland Castle''' (also known as '''Auckland Palace''' or locally as the '''Bishop's Castle''' or '''Bishop's Palace''') is a castle in the town of [[Bishop Auckland]] in [[County Durham]], [[England]].

The castle has been the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] since 1832. However, it has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, being established as a hunting lodge for the [[Prince Bishop]]s of [[Diocese of Durham|Durham]].<ref name="ACHist">{{Citation

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]]. In 2001 the [[Church Commissioners]] voted to sell the paintings which have a £20m valuation, but relented until a review in 2010.<ref>{{cite press release

These include a Deer House within the park which was built in 1760. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

==History==
In around 1183 [[Prince bishop|Bishop]] [[Hugh Pudsey|Pudsey]] established a [[manor house]] on the site.<ref name="SimpsonBAS">{{citation|url=http://www.northeastengland.talktalk.net/BishopAuckland.htm|title=The North East England History Pages - Bishop Auckland and Surrounds|last=Simpson|first=David|accessdate=2007-09-01}}</ref><ref name="H14">Hutchinson, p.14</ref> Bishop [[Antony Bek|Bek]], who preferred the town as his main residence over [[Durham Castle]] due to its proximity to hunting grounds, later converted the manor house into a castle.

After the dis-establishment of the [[Church of England]], at the end of the [[First English Civil War|first civil war]], Auckland Castle was sold to [[Arthur Haselrig|Sir Arthur Hazelrig]], who demolished much of the castle, including the chapel, and built a mansion.<ref name="Lightfoot">{{Citation

In 1756 [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Bishop Trevor]] bought a set of paintings of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]] which still hang in the castle's long dining room today. The seventeenth century paintings' intended destination was South America. However, they were captured by pirates and never made it to their destination. Eventually, the paintings came into the possession of James Mendez who sold 12 of the 13 to [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Bishop Trevor]] in 1756 for £125.

Trevor was unable to secure the 13th portrait, [[Benjamin]] which was sold separately to the [[Duke of Ancaster]] and hangs in [[Grimsthorpe Castle]], Lincs. Trevor commissioned [[Arthur Pond]] to produce a copy of the Benjamin portrait. The copy together with the twelve originals were hung in the castle's long dining room, which Trevor had [[James Wyatt]] redesign to take the portraits.<ref>{{cite news

==Culture==
Auckland Castle was shown on [[BBC]]'s ''[[Antiques Roadshow]]'' programme in 2006, and two episodes were shown

Auckland Castle also provides the setting for [[Lewis Carroll]]'s story "A Legend of Scotland". Part of the building is called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. The Scotland Wing presently serves as accommodation for the Durham Diocesan Office.

'''Wythenshawe Bus Garage''' is a Grade II* [[listed building|listed]] former bus depot in [[Wythenshawe]], [[Greater Manchester]].<ref name="HG">{{citation |title=Wythenshawe Bus Depot |accessdate= 26 December 2009 |url=http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=487891&resourceID=5 |publisher=Heritage Gateway}}</ref>

Designed by Manchester City Architects Department, under [[G. Noel Hill]] and completed in [[1942]] this building was a pioneering example of its type of construction. It was the second large reinforced [[concrete shell roof structure]] to be constructed in England. The building’s structure for its time is particularly innovative, its concrete arches have a span of 165ft (50.3m) from side to side, are 42ft (12.8m) high and spaced 42ft (12.8m) apart. The tensile concrete shell roof between these concrete arches is just 2.5 inches (63.5mm) thick and is daringly punctured by large rooflights. Wythenshawe Garage proved to be the model for much larger buildings using the concrete shell roof structure technique, which was an economic method of achieving large uninterrupted roof spans.

Originally designed to garage 100 double-decker buses, the building on completion in 1942 was immediately commandeered by the [[Ministry of Aircraft Production]] for the building of [[Lancaster Bomber]]s in support of Britain’s World War II efforts.

The building is now in private ownership and is used for warehousing.

'''Wythenshawe Bus Garage''' is a [[listed building|listed]] former bus depot in [[Wythenshawe]], [[Greater Manchester]].<ref name="HG">{{citation |title=Wythenshawe Bus Depot |accessdate= 26 December 2009 |url=http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=487891&resourceID=5 |publisher=Heritage Gateway}}</ref>

Designed by Manchester City Architects Department, under [[G. Noel Hill]] and completed in [[1942]] this building was a pioneering example of its type of construction. It was the second large reinforced [[concrete shell roof structure]] to be constructed in England. The building’s structure for its time is particularly innovative, its concrete arches have a span of 165ft (50.3m) from side to side, are 42ft (12.8m) high and spaced 42ft (12.8m) apart. The tensile concrete shell roof between these concrete arches is just 2.5 inches (63.5mm) thick and is daringly punctured by large rooflights. Wythenshawe Garage proved to be the model for much larger buildings using the concrete shell roof structure technique, which was an economic method of achieving large uninterrupted roof spans.

Originally designed to garage 100 double-decker buses, the building on completion in 1942 was immediately commandeered by the [[Ministry of Aircraft Production]] for the building of [[Lancaster Bomber]]s in support of Britain’s World War II efforts.

The building is now in private ownership and is used for warehousing.

'''Auckland Castle''' (also known as '''Auckland Palace''' or locally as the '''Bishop's Castle''' or '''Bishop's Palace''') is a castle in the town of [[Bishop Auckland]] in [[County Durham]], [[England]].

The castle has been the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] since 1832. However, it has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, being established as a hunting lodge for the [[Prince Bishop]]s of [[Diocese of Durham|Durham]].<ref name="ACHist">{{Citation
| title = Castle History
| publisher = [[Auckland Castle]]
| url = http://www.auckland-castle.co.uk/castle-history.asp
| accessdate = 2008-08-25}}</ref> It is more like a [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] [[country house]] than a true castle with a military function. The castle is open to the public and is available for weddings, conferences and banquets.

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]]. In 2001 the [[Church Commissioners]] voted to sell the paintings which have a £20m valuation, but relented until a review in 2010.<ref>{{cite press release

The castle is surrounded by {{convert|800|acre|km2}} of parkland, which was originally used by the Bishops for hunting and is today open to the public.<ref name="H20">Hutchinson, p.20</ref> The castle and its grounds contain seven [[listed building|Grade I listed buildings]]<ref name="IoEAC">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385598|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="WestMuralWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle West Mural Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385600|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Gatehouse">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Gatehouse |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385599|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Chapel">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Chapel of St Peter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385601|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="ScreenWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Screen Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385605|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Deer Shelter">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Deer Shelter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385606|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Lodge">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Lodge |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385706|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref>. These include a Deer House within the park which was built in 1760. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

==History==
In around 1183 [[Prince bishop|Bishop]] [[Hugh Pudsey|Pudsey]] established a [[manor house]] on the site.<ref name="SimpsonBAS">{{citation|url=http://www.northeastengland.talktalk.net/BishopAuckland.htm|title=The North East England History Pages - Bishop Auckland and Surrounds|last=Simpson|first=David|accessdate=2007-09-01}}</ref><ref name="H14">Hutchinson, p.14</ref> Bishop [[Antony Bek|Bek]], who preferred the town as his main residence over [[Durham Castle]] due to its proximity to hunting grounds, later converted the manor house into a castle.

After the dis-establishment of the [[Church of England]], at the end of the [[First English Civil War|first civil war]], Auckland Castle was sold to [[Arthur Haselrig|Sir Arthur Hazelrig]], who demolished much of the castle, including the chapel, and built a mansion.<ref name="Lightfoot">{{Citation

In 1756 [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Bishop Trevor]] bought a set of paintings of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]] which still hang in the castle's long dining room today. The seventeenth century paintings' intended destination was South America. However, they were captured by pirates and never made it to their destination. Eventually, the paintings came into the possession of James Mendez who sold 12 of the 13 to [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Bishop Trevor]] in 1756 for £125.

Trevor was unable to secure the 13th portrait, [[Benjamin]] which was sold separately to the [[Duke of Ancaster]] and hangs in [[Grimsthorpe Castle]], Lincs. Trevor commissioned [[Arthur Pond]] to produce a copy of the Benjamin portrait. The copy together with the twelve originals were hung in the castle's long dining room, which Trevor had [[James Wyatt]] redesign to take the portraits.<ref>{{cite news

==Culture==
Auckland Castle was shown on [[BBC]]'s [[Antiques Roadshow]] programme in 2006, and two episodes were shown

Auckland Castle also provides the setting for [[Lewis Carroll]]'s story "''A Legend of Scotland''". Part of the building is called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. The Scotland Wing presently serves as accommodation for the Durham Diocesan Office.

'''Auckland Castle''' (also known as '''Auckland Palace''' or locally as the '''Bishop's Castle''' or '''Bishop's Palace''') is a castle in the town of [[Bishop Auckland]] in [[County Durham]], [[England]].

The castle has been the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] since 1832. However, it has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, being established as a hunting lodge for the [[Prince Bishop]]s of [[Diocese of Durham|Durham]].<ref name="ACHist">{{Citation
| title = Castle History
| publisher = [[Auckland Castle]]
| url = http://www.auckland-castle.co.uk/castle-history.asp
| accessdate = 2008-08-25}}</ref> It is more like a [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] [[country house]] than a true castle with a military function. The castle is open to the public and is available for weddings, conferences and banquets.

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]]. In 2001 the [[Church Commissioners]] voted to sell the paintings which have a £20m valuation, but relented until a review in 2010.<ref>{{cite press release

The castle is surrounded by {{convert|800|acre|km2}} of parkland, which was originally used by the Bishops for hunting and is today open to the public.<ref name="H20">Hutchinson, p.20</ref> The castle and its grounds contain seven [[listed building|Grade I listed buildings]]<ref name="IoEAC">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385598|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="WestMuralWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle West Mural Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385600|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Gatehouse">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Gatehouse |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385599|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Chapel">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Chapel of St Peter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385601|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="ScreenWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Screen Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385605|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Deer Shelter">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Deer Shelter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385606|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Lodge">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Lodge |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385706|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref>. These include a Deer House within the park which was built in 1760. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

==History==
In around 1183 [[Prince bishop|Bishop]] [[Hugh Pudsey|Pudsey]] established a [[manor house]] on the site.<ref name="SimpsonBAS">{{citation|url=http://www.northeastengland.talktalk.net/BishopAuckland.htm|title=The North East England History Pages - Bishop Auckland and Surrounds|last=Simpson|first=David|accessdate=2007-09-01}}</ref><ref name="H14">Hutchinson, p.14</ref> Bishop [[Antony Bek|Bek]], who preferred the town as his main residence over [[Durham Castle]] due to its proximity to hunting grounds, later converted the manor house into a castle.

After the dis-establishment of the [[Church of England]], at the end of the [[First English Civil War|first civil war]], Auckland Castle was sold to [[Arthur Haselrig|Sir Arthur Hazelrig]], who demolished much of the castle, including the chapel, and built a mansion.<ref name="Lightfoot">{{Citation

In 1756 [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Bishop Trevor]] bought a set of paintings of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]] which still hang in the castle's long dining room today. The seventeenth century paintings' intended destination was South America. However, they were captured by pirates and never made it to their destination. Eventually, the paintings came into the possession of James Mendez who sold 12 of the 13 to [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Bishop Trevor]] in 1756 for £125.

Trevor was unable to secure the 13th portrait, [[Benjamin]] which was sold separately to the [[Duke of Ancaster]] and hangs in [[Grimsthorpe Castle]], Lincs. Trevor commissioned [[Arthur Pond]] to produce a copy of the Benjamin portrait. The copy together with the twelve originals were hung in the castle's long dining room, which Trevor had [[James Wyatt]] redesign to take the portraits.<ref>{{cite news

==Culture==
Auckland Castle was shown on [[BBC]]'s [[Antiques Roadshow]] programme in 2006, and two episodes were shown

Auckland Castle also provides the setting for [[Lewis Carroll]]'s story "''A Legend of Scotland''". Part of the building is called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. The Scotland Wing presently serves as accommodation for the Durham Diocesan Office.

'''Auckland Castle''' (also known as '''Auckland Palace''' or locally as the '''Bishop's Castle''' or '''Bishop's Palace''') is a castle in the town of [[Bishop Auckland]] in [[County Durham]], [[England]].

The castle has been the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] since 1832. However, it has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, being established as a hunting lodge for the [[Prince Bishop]]s of [[Diocese of Durham|Durham]].<ref name="ACHist">{{Citation
| title = Castle History
| publisher = [[Auckland Castle]]
| url = http://www.auckland-castle.co.uk/castle-history.asp
| accessdate = 2008-08-25}}</ref> It is more like a [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] [[country house]] than a true castle with a military function. The castle is open to the public and is available for weddings, conferences and banquets.

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]]. In 2001 the [[Church Commissioners]] voted to sell the paintings which have a £20m valuation, but relented until a review in 2010.<ref>{{cite press release

The castle is surrounded by {{convert|800|acre|km2}} of parkland, which was originally used by the Bishops for hunting and is today open to the public.<ref name="H20">Hutchinson, p.20</ref> The castle and its grounds contain seven [[listed building|Grade I listed buildings]]<ref name="IoEAC">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385598|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="WestMuralWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle West Mural Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385600|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Gatehouse">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Gatehouse |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385599|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Chapel">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Chapel of St Peter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385601|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="ScreenWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Screen Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385605|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Deer Shelter">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Deer Shelter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385606|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Lodge">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Lodge |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385706|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref>. These include a Deer House within the park which was built in 1760. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

==History==
In around 1183 [[Prince bishop|Bishop]] [[Hugh Pudsey|Pudsey]] established a [[manor house]] on the site.<ref name="SimpsonBAS">{{citation|url=http://www.northeastengland.talktalk.net/BishopAuckland.htm|title=The North East England History Pages - Bishop Auckland and Surrounds|last=Simpson|first=David|accessdate=2007-09-01}}</ref><ref name="H14">Hutchinson, p.14</ref> Bishop [[Antony Bek|Bek]], who preferred the town as his main residence over [[Durham Castle]] due to its proximity to hunting grounds, later converted the manor house into a castle.

After the dis-establishment of the [[Church of England]], at the end of the [[First English Civil War|first civil war]], Auckland Castle was sold to [[Arthur Haselrig|Sir Arthur Hazelrig]], who demolished much of the castle, including the chapel, and built a mansion.<ref name="Lightfoot">{{Citation

In 1756 [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Bishop Trevor]] bought a set of paintings of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]] which still hang in the castle's long dining room today. The seventeenth century paintings' intended destination was South America. However, they were captured by pirates and never made it to their destination. Eventually, the paintings came into the possession of James Mendez who sold 12 of the 13 to [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Bishop Trevor]] in 1756 for £125.

Trevor was unable to secure the 13th portrait, [[Benjamin]] which was sold separately to the [[Duke of Ancaster]] and hangs in [[Grimsthorpe Castle]], Lincs. Trevor commissioned [[Arthur Pond]] to produce a copy of the Benjamin portrait. The copy together with the twelve originals were hung in the castle's long dining room, which Trevor had [[James Wyatt]] redesign to take the portraits.<ref>{{cite news

==Culture==
Auckland Castle was shown on [[BBC]]'s [[Antiques Roadshow]] programme in 2006, and two episodes were shown

Auckland Castle also provides the setting for [[Lewis Carroll]]'s story "''A Legend of Scotland''". Part of the building is called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. The Scotland Wing presently serves as accommodation for the Durham Diocesan Office.

The centre is the second largest (in terms of retail area) in the UK, after the [[MetroCentre (shopping centre)|MetroCentre]] in [[Gateshead]], and elsewhere in Europe only [[Istanbul]]'s [[Cevahir Mall]] and [[Vienna]]'s ([[Vösendorf]]) [[Shopping City Süd]] are also bigger.

In 1994, Blue Circle approached Australian mall developer [[Lend Lease Corporation|Lend Lease]] to form a partnership.
Instead, Lend Lease bought the land and the project from Blue Circle, and gathered a group of major investors, which included: [[Prudential plc|Prudential]], [[Barclays plc|Barclays Mercantile]], Hermes (acting for Britel), [[Lloyds TSB|Lloyds Leasing]], and [[Royal Bank of Scotland|Royal Bank Leasing]]. Lend Lease also formed a pool of minor investors, called the Lend Lease Retail Partnership, with 18 institutions and corporations.

With the Bluewater project finally under way, it was time to sign up the tenants, beginning with the major ones. [[John Lewis Partnership|John Lewis]] was the first in February 1995, albeit with major concessions, such as the offer of 300,000 ft², one-fifth of the entire floor space, on three levels. Still, this gave Bluewater the credibility it needed to sign more names, including the two other [[anchor store]]s. [[House of Fraser]] was next and in June 1996 [[Marks & Spencer]] signed too. By March 1998, 90% of the retail space was committed.

Construction, which was undertaken by [[Bovis Lend Lease]],<ref>[http://www.contractjournal.com/Articles/1997/09/17/20855/bovis-reputation-is-cornering-the-shopping-market.html Bovis' reputation is cornering the shopping market] Contract Journal, 17 September 1997</ref> started on [[1 May]] [[1996]]. At its peak, the construction site employed 2,500 workers simultaneously. In all, 20,000 people worked 11.5 million hours on the construction of Bluewater. At the planned opening date, [[16 March]] [[1999]], Bluewater was inaugurated with 99% of the shops open for business. The total cost of construction was around [[GBP|GBP £]]400 million.<ref>Emma Dorreen, editor/project manager; Michael Evamy, writer (1999). ''Vision to Reality''. London: Lend Lease. ISBN 0-9537054-0-4.</ref> At the time of its construction, Bluewater was the largest shopping centre in Europe.

In May 2005, Bluewater introduced a code of conduct to ban swearing, clothing that obscures the face (including [[hoody|hoods]] and [[baseball caps]]), and groups of more than five without the intention to shop<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/4534903.stm BBC news-Bluewater introduces code of conduct]</ref><ref name="Timesonline-Bluewater introduces code of conduct">{{cite news|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1609342,00.html|title=Timesonline-Bluewater introduces code of conduct|accessdate=2009-04-15}}</ref>. This policy has divided opinion, with high-profile figures such as [[Tony Blair]] showing his support<ref name="Timesonline-Bluewater introduces code of conduct" />, but has been criticised in the liberal press and those working with children locally.

In late 2006 Dartford Borough Council granted planning permission for Bluewater to build a two-story events venue<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/6210290.stm BBC news-events venue]</ref> of 5200 sq.m, and further extend the south side of the centre.

'''Auckland Castle''' (also known as '''Auckland Palace''' or locally as the '''Bishop's Castle''' or '''Bishop's Palace''') is a castle in the town of [[Bishop Auckland]] in [[County Durham]], [[England]].

The castle has been the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] since 1832. However, it has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, being established as a hunting lodge for the [[Prince Bishop]]s of [[Diocese of Durham|Durham]].<ref name="ACHist">{{Citation
| title = Castle History
| publisher = [[Auckland Castle]]
| url = http://www.auckland-castle.co.uk/castle-history.asp
| accessdate = 2008-08-25}}</ref> It is more like a [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] [[country house]] than a true castle with a military function. The castle is open to the public and is available for weddings, conferences and banquets.

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]]. In 2001 the [[Church Commissioners]] voted to sell the paintings which have a £20m valuation, but relented until a review in 2010.<ref>{{cite press release

The castle is surrounded by {{convert|800|acre|km2}} of parkland, which was originally used by the Bishops for hunting and is today open to the public.<ref name="H20">Hutchinson, p.20</ref> The castle and its grounds contain seven [[listed building|Grade I listed buildings]]<ref name="IoEAC">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385598|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="WestMuralWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle West Mural Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385600|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Gatehouse">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Gatehouse |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385599|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Chapel">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Chapel of St Peter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385601|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="ScreenWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Screen Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385605|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Deer Shelter">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Deer Shelter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385606|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Lodge">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Lodge |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385706|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref>. These include a Deer House within the park which was built in 1760. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

==History==
In around 1183 [[Prince bishop|Bishop]] [[Hugh Pudsey|Pudsey]] established a [[manor house]] on the site.<ref name="SimpsonBAS">{{citation|url=http://www.northeastengland.talktalk.net/BishopAuckland.htm|title=The North East England History Pages - Bishop Auckland and Surrounds|last=Simpson|first=David|accessdate=2007-09-01}}</ref><ref name="H14">Hutchinson, p.14</ref> Bishop [[Antony Bek|Bek]], who preferred the town as his main residence over [[Durham Castle]] due to its proximity to hunting grounds, later converted the manor house into a castle.

After the dis-establishment of the [[Church of England]], at the end of the [[First English Civil War|first civil war]], Auckland Castle was sold to [[Arthur Haselrig|Sir Arthur Hazelrig]], who demolished much of the castle, including the chapel, and built a mansion.<ref name="Lightfoot">{{Citation

In 1756 [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Bishop Trevor]] bought a set of paintings of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]] which still hang in the castle's long dining room today. The seventeenth century paintings' intended destination was South America. However, they were captured by pirates and never made it to their destination. Eventually, the paintings came into the possession of James Mendez who sold 12 of the 13 to [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Bishop Trevor]] in 1756 for £125.

Trevor was unable to secure the 13th portrait, [[Benjamin]] which was sold separately to the [[Duke of Ancaster]] and hangs in [[Grimsthorpe Castle]], Lincs. Trevor commissioned [[Arthur Pond]] to produce a copy of the Benjamin portrait. The copy together with the twelve originals were hung in the castle's long dining room, which Trevor had [[James Wyatt]] redesign to take the portraits.<ref>{{cite news

==Culture==
Auckland Castle was shown on [[BBC]]'s [[Antiques Roadshow]] programme in 2006, and two episodes were shown

Auckland Castle also provides the setting for [[Lewis Carroll]]'s story "''A Legend of Scotland''". Part of the building is called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. The Scotland Wing presently serves as accommodation for the Durham Diocesan Office.

'''Auckland Castle''' (also known as '''Auckland Palace''' or locally as the '''Bishop's Castle''' or '''Bishop's Palace''') is a castle in the town of [[Bishop Auckland]] in [[County Durham]], [[England]].

The castle has been the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] since 1832. However, it has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, being established as a hunting lodge for the [[Prince Bishop]]s of [[Diocese of Durham|Durham]].<ref name="ACHist">{{Citation

| accessdate = 2008-08-25}}</ref> It is more like a [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] [[country house]] than a true castle with a military function. The castle is open to the public and is available for weddings, conferences and banquets.

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]]. The set of 13 painting's intended destination was South America. However, they were captured by pirates and never made it to their intended destination. Eventually, the paintings came into the possession of James Mendez who sold 12 of the 13 to [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Bishop Trevor]] in 1756 for £125.

Trevor was unable to secure the 13th portrait, [[Benjamin]] which was sold separately to the [[Duke of Ancaster]] and hangs in [[Grimsthorpe Castle]], Lincs. Trevor commissioned [[Arthur Pond]] to produce a copy of the Benjamin portrait. The copy together with the twelve originals were hung in the castle's long dining room, which Trevor had [[James Wyatt]] redesign to take the portraits.<ref>{{cite news

'''Auckland Castle''' (also known as '''Auckland Palace''' or locally as the '''Bishop's Castle''' or '''Bishop's Palace''') is a castle in the town of [[Bishop Auckland]] in [[County Durham]], [[England]].

The castle has been the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] since 1832. However, it has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, being established as a hunting lodge for the [[Prince Bishop]]s of [[Diocese of Durham|Durham]].<ref name="ACHist">{{Citation
| title = Castle History
| publisher = [[Auckland Castle]]
| url = http://www.auckland-castle.co.uk/castle-history.asp
| accessdate = 2008-08-25}}</ref> It is more like a [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] [[country house]] than a true castle with a military function. The castle is open to the public and is available for weddings, conferences and banquets.

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]]. The set of 13 painting's intended destination was South America. However, they were captured by pirates and never made it to their intended destination. Eventually, the paintings came into the possession of [[James Mendez]] who sold 12 of the 13 to [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Bishop Trevor]] in 1756 for £125.

Trevor was unable to secure the 13th portrait, [[Benjamin]] which was sold separately to the [[Duke of Ancaster]] and hangs in [[Grimsthorpe Castle]], Lincs. Trevor commissioned [[Arthur Pond]] to produce a copy of the Benjamin portrait. The portraits where hung in the castle's long dining room, which Trevor had [[James Wyatt]] redesign to take the portraits.<ref>{{cite news

The castle is surrounded by {{convert|800|acre|km2}} of parkland, which was originally used by the Bishops for hunting and is today open to the public.<ref name="H20">Hutchinson, p.20</ref> The castle and its grounds contain seven [[listed building|Grade I listed buildings]]<ref name="IoEAC">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385598|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="WestMuralWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle West Mural Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385600|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Gatehouse">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Gatehouse |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385599|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Chapel">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Chapel of St Peter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385601|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="ScreenWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Screen Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385605|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Deer Shelter">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Deer Shelter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385606|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Lodge">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Lodge |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385706|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref>. These include a Deer House within the park which was built in 1760. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

==Culture==
Auckland Castle was shown on [[BBC]]'s [[Antiques Roadshow]] programme in 2006, and two episodes were shown

Auckland Castle also provides the setting for [[Lewis Carroll]]'s story "''A Legend of Scotland''". Part of the building is called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. The Scotland Wing presently serves as accommodation for the Durham Diocesan Office.

'''Auckland Castle''' (also known as '''Auckland Palace''' or locally as the '''Bishop's Castle''' or '''Bishop's Palace''') is a castle in the town of [[Bishop Auckland]] in [[County Durham]], [[England]].

The castle has been the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] since 1832. However, it has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, being established as a hunting lodge for the [[Prince Bishop]]s of [[Diocese of Durham|Durham]].<ref name="ACHist">{{Citation

| accessdate = 2008-08-25}}</ref> It is more like a [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] [[country house]] than a true castle with a military function. The castle is open to the public and is available for weddings, conferences and banquets.

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]], which were purchased by [[Prince-Bishop]] [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Trevor]] in 1756 for £125<ref>{{cite news

The castle is surrounded by {{convert|800|acre|km2}} of parkland, which was originally used by the Bishops for hunting and is today open to the public.<ref name="H20">Hutchinson, p.20</ref> The castle and its grounds contain seven [[listed building|Grade I listed buildings]]<ref name="IoEAC">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385598|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="WestMuralWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle West Mural Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385600|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Gatehouse">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Gatehouse |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385599|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Chapel">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Chapel of St Peter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385601|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="ScreenWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Screen Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385605|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Deer Shelter">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Deer Shelter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385606|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Lodge">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Lodge |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385706|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref>. These include a Deer House within the park which was built in 1760. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

==Culture==
Auckland Castle was shown on [[BBC]]'s [[Antiques Roadshow]] programme in 2006, and two episodes were shown

Auckland Castle also provides the setting for [[Lewis Carroll]]'s story "''A Legend of Scotland''". Part of the building is called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. The Scotland Wing presently serves as accommodation for the Durham Diocesan Office.

'''Auckland Castle''' (also known as '''Auckland Palace''' or locally as the '''Bishop's Castle''' or '''Bishop's Palace''') is a castle in the town of [[Bishop Auckland]] in [[County Durham]], [[England]].

The castle has been the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] since 1832. However, it has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, being established as a hunting lodge for the [[Prince Bishop]]s of [[Diocese of Durham|Durham]].<ref name="ACHist">{{Citation

These include a Deer House within the park which was built in 1760. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

==Culture==
Auckland Castle was shown on [[BBC]]'s [[Antiques Roadshow]] programme in 2006, and two episodes were shown

[[Auckland Castle]] also provides the setting for [[Lewis Carroll]]'s story "''A Legend of Scotland''". Part of the building is called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. The Scotland Wing presently serves as accommodation for the Durham Diocesan Office.

'''Auckland Castle''' is a castle within [[Bishop Auckland]] in [[County Durham]], [[England]]. The castle has a large, locally famous arch, which visitors must go under to enter the Bishop's Park. Auckland Castle is also locally known as Auckland Palace or the Bishop's Castle. The castle and its grounds contain seven [[listed building|Grade I listed buildings]]<ref name="IoEAC">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385598|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="WestMuralWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle West Mural Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385600|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Gatehouse">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Gatehouse |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385599|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Chapel">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Chapel of St Peter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385601|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="ScreenWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Screen Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385605|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Deer Shelter">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Deer Shelter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385606|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Lodge">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Lodge |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385706|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref>

It is the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] and has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, initially serving as a hunting lodge. It is more like a [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] [[country house]] than a true castle with a military function. The castle is open to the public and is available for weddings, conferences and banquets.

The castle is surrounded by a large park that was originally used by the Bishops for hunting. Within the park there is a Deer House which was built in 1760, for the Bishops of Durham. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]], which were purchased by [[Prince-Bishop]] [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Trevor]] in 1756 for £125<ref>{{cite news

Part of the building was called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. The Scotland Wing presently serves as accommodation for the Durham Diocesan Office.

==Auckland Castle in the media==
Auckland Castle was shown on [[BBC]]'s [[Antiques Roadshow]] programme in 2006, and two episodes were shown.

'''Auckland Castle''' is a castle within [[Bishop Auckland]] in [[County Durham]], [[England]]. The castle has a large, locally famous arch, which visitors must go under to enter the Bishop's Park. Auckland Castle is also locally known as Auckland Palace or the Bishop's Castle. The castle and its grounds contain seven [[listed building|Grade I listed buildings]]<ref name="IoEAC">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385598|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="WestMuralWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle West Mural Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385600|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Gatehouse">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Gatehouse |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385599|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Chapel">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Chapel of St Peter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385601|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="ScreenWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Screen Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385605|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Deer Shelter">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Deer Shelter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385606|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Lodge">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Lodge |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385706|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref>

It is the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] and has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, initially serving as a hunting lodge. It is more like a [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] [[country house]] than a true castle with a military function. The castle is open to the public and is available for weddings, conferences and banquets.

The castle is surrounded by a large park that was originally used by the Bishops for hunting. Within the park there is a Deer House which was built in 1760, for the Bishops of Durham. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]], which were purchased by [[Prince-Bishop]] [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Trevor]] in 1756 for £125<ref>{{cite news

Part of the building was called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. The Scotland Wing presently serves as accommodation for the Durham Diocesan Office.

==Auckland Castle in the media==
Auckland Castle was shown on [[BBC]]'s [[Antiques Roadshow]] programme in 2006, and two episodes were shown.

The castle and its grounds contain seven [[listed building|Grade I listed buildings]]<ref name="IoEAC">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385598|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="WestMuralWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle West Mural Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385600|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Gatehouse">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Gatehouse |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385599|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Chapel">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Chapel of St Peter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385601|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="ScreenWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Screen Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385605|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Deer Shelter">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Deer Shelter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385606|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Lodge">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Lodge |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385706|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref>

It is the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] and has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, initially serving as a hunting lodge. It is more like a [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] [[country house]] than a true castle with a military function. The castle is open to the public and is available for weddings, conferences and banquets.

The castle is surrounded by a large park that was originally used by the Bishops for hunting. Within the park there is a Deer House which was built in 1760, for the Bishops of Durham. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]], which were purchased by [[Prince-Bishop]] [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Trevor]] in 1756 for £125<ref>{{cite news

Part of the building was called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. The Scotland Wing presently serves as accommodation for the Durham Diocesan Office.

'''Auckland Castle''' is a castle within [[Bishop Auckland]] in [[County Durham]], [[England]]. The castle has a large, locally famous arch, which visitors must go under to enter the Bishop's Park. Auckland Castle is also locally known as Auckland Palace or the Bishop's Castle. The castle and its grounds contain seven [[listed building|Grade I listed buildings]]<ref name="IoEAC">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385598|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="WestMuralWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle West Mural Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385600|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Gatehouse">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Gatehouse |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385599|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Chapel">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Chapel of St Peter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385601|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="ScreenWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Screen Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385605|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Deer Shelter">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Deer Shelter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385606|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Lodge">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Lodge |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385706|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref>

It is the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] and has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, initially serving as a hunting lodge. It is more like a [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] [[country house]] than a true castle with a military function. The castle is open to the public and is available for weddings, conferences and banquets.

The castle is surrounded by a large park that was originally used by the Bishops for hunting. Within the park there is a Deer House which was built in 1760, for the Bishops of Durham. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]], which were purchased by [[Prince-Bishop]] [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Trevor]] in 1756 for £125<ref>{{cite news

Part of the building was called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. The Scotland Wing presently serves as accommodation for the Durham Diocesan Office.

==Auckland Castle in the media==
Auckland Castle was shown on [[BBC]]'s [[Antiques Roadshow]] programme in 2006, and two episodes were shown.

It is the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] and has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, initially serving as a hunting lodge. It is more like a [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] [[country house]] than a true castle with a military function. The castle is open to the public and is available for weddings, conferences and banquets.

The castle is surrounded by a large park that was originally used by the Bishops for hunting. Within the park there is a Deer House which was built in 1760, for the Bishops of Durham. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]], which were purchased by [[Prince-Bishop]] [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Trevor]] in 1756 for £125<ref>{{cite news

Part of the building was called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. The Scotland Wing presently serves as accommodation for the Durham Diocesan Office.

'''Auckland Castle''' is a castle within [[Bishop Auckland]] in [[County Durham]], [[England]]. The castle has a large, locally famous arch, which visitors must go under to enter the Bishop's Park. Auckland Castle is also locally known as Auckland Palace or the Bishop's Castle. The castle and its grounds contain seven [[listed building|Grade I listed buildings]]<ref name="IoEAC">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385598|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="WestMuralWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle West Mural Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385600|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Gatehouse">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Gatehouse |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385599|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Chapel">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Chapel of St Peter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385601|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="ScreenWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Screen Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385605|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Deer Shelter">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Deer Shelter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385606|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Lodge">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Lodge |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385706|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref>

It is the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] and has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, initially serving as a hunting lodge. It is more like a [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] [[country house]] than a true castle with a military function. The castle is open to the public and is available for weddings, conferences and banquets.

The castle is surrounded by a large park that was originally used by the Bishops for hunting. Within the park there is a Deer House which was built in 1760, for the Bishops of Durham. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]], which were purchased by [[Prince-Bishop]] [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Trevor]] in 1756 for £125<ref>{{cite news

Part of the building was called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. The Scotland Wing presently serves as accommodation for the Durham Diocesan Office.

==Auckland Castle in the media==
Auckland Castle was shown on [[BBC]]'s [[Antiques Roadshow]] programme in 2006, and two episodes were shown.

'''Auckland Castle''' is a castle within [[Bishop Auckland]] in [[County Durham]], [[England]]. The castle has a large, locally famous arch, which visitors must go under to enter the Bishop's Park. Auckland Castle is also locally known as Auckland Palace or the Bishop's Castle. The castle and its grounds contain seven [[listed building|Grade I listed buildings]]<ref name="IoEAC">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385598|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="WestMuralWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle West Mural Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385600|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Gatehouse">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Gatehouse |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385599|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Chapel">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Chapel of St Peter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385601|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="ScreenWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Screen Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385605|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Deer Shelter">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Deer Shelter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385606|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Lodge">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Lodge |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385706|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref>

It is the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] and has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, initially serving as a hunting lodge. It is more like a [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] [[country house]] than a true castle with a military function. The castle is open to the public and is available for weddings, conferences and banquets.

The castle is surrounded by a large park that was originally used by the Bishops for hunting. Within the park there is a Deer House which was built in 1760, for the Bishops of Durham. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]], which were purchased by [[Prince-Bishop]] [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Trevor]] in 1756 for £125<ref>{{cite news

Part of the building was called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. The Scotland Wing presently serves as accommodation for the Durham Diocesan Office.

'''Auckland Castle''' is a castle within [[Bishop Auckland]] in [[County Durham]], [[England]]. The castle has a large, locally famous arch, which visitors must go under to enter the Bishop's Park. Auckland Castle is also locally known as Auckland Palace or the Bishop's Castle.

It is the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] and has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, initially serving as a hunting lodge. It is more like a [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] [[country house]] than a true castle with a military function. The castle is open to the public and is available for weddings, conferences and banquets.

The castle is surrounded by a large park that was originally used by the Bishops for hunting. Within the park there is a Deer House which was built in 1760, for the Bishops of Durham. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]], which were purchased by [[Prince-Bishop]] [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Trevor]] in 1756 for £125<ref>{{cite news

Part of the building was called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. The Scotland Wing presently serves as accommodation for the Durham Diocesan Office.

==Auckland Castle in the media==
Auckland Castle was shown on [[BBC]]'s [[Antiques Roadshow]] programme in 2006, and two episodes were shown.

'''Auckland Castle''' is a castle within [[Bishop Auckland]] in [[County Durham]], [[England]]. The castle has a large, locally famous arch, which visitors must go under to enter the Bishop's Park. Auckland Castle is also locally known as Auckland Palace or the Bishop's Castle. The castle and its grounds contain seven [[listed building|Grade I listed buildings]]<ref name="IoEAC">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385598|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="WestMuralWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle West Mural Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385600|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Gatehouse">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Gatehouse |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385599|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Chapel">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Chapel of St Peter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385601|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="ScreenWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Screen Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385605|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Deer Shelter">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Deer Shelter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385606|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Lodge">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Lodge |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385706|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref>

It is the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] and has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, initially serving as a hunting lodge. It is more like a [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] [[country house]] than a true castle with a military function. The castle is open to the public and is available for weddings, conferences and banquets.

The castle is surrounded by a large park that was originally used by the Bishops for hunting. Within the park there is a Deer House which was built in 1760, for the Bishops of Durham. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]], which were purchased by [[Prince-Bishop]] [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Trevor]] in 1756 for £125<ref>{{cite news

Part of the building was called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. The Scotland Wing presently serves as accommodation for the Durham Diocesan Office.

It is the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] and has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, initially serving as a hunting lodge. It is more like a [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] [[country house]] than a true castle with a military function. The castle is open to the public and is available for weddings, conferences and banquets.

The castle is surrounded by a large park that was originally used by the Bishops for hunting. Within the park there is a Deer House which was built in 1760, for the Bishops of Durham. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]], which were purchased by [[Prince-Bishop]] [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Trevor]] in 1756 for £125<ref>{{cite news

'''Auckland Castle''' is a castle within [[Bishop Auckland]] in [[County Durham]], [[England]]. The castle has a large, locally famous arch, which visitors must go under to enter the Bishop's Park. Auckland Castle is also locally known as Auckland Palace or the Bishop's Castle.

It is the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] and has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, initially serving as a hunting lodge. It is more like a [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] [[country house]] than a true castle with a military function. The castle is open to the public and is available for weddings, conferences and banquets.

The castle is surrounded by a large park that was originally used by the Bishops for hunting. Within the park there is a Deer House which was built in 1760, for the Bishops of Durham. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]], which were purchased by [[Prince-Bishop]] [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Trevor]] in 1756 for £125<ref>{{cite news

Part of the building was called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. The Scotland Wing presently serves as accommodation for the Durham Diocesan Office.

Auckland Castle was shown on [[BBC]]'s [[Antiques Roadshow]] programme in 2006, and two episodes were shown.

'''Auckland Castle''' is a castle within [[Bishop Auckland]] in [[County Durham]], [[England]]. The castle has a large, locally famous arch, which visitors must go under to enter the Bishop's Park. Auckland Castle is also locally known as Auckland Palace or the Bishop's Castle. The castle and its grounds contain seven [[listed building|Grade I listed buildings]]<ref name="IoEAC">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385598|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="WestMuralWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle West Mural Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385600|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Gatehouse">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Gatehouse |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385599|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Chapel">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Chapel of St Peter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385601|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="ScreenWall">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Screen Wall |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385605|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Deer Shelter">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Deer Shelter |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385606|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref><ref name="Lodge">{{cite web |title=Auckland Castle Lodge |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=385706|publisher=Images of England |accessdate=2008-08-25}}</ref>

It is the official residence of the [[Bishop of Durham]] and has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, initially serving as a hunting lodge. It is more like a [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] [[country house]] than a true castle with a military function. The castle is open to the public and is available for weddings, conferences and banquets.

The castle is surrounded by a large park that was originally used by the Bishops for hunting. Within the park there is a Deer House which was built in 1760, for the Bishops of Durham. It is a large stone [[castellated]] structure and acts as a shelter for [[deer]]. There is a viewing room for people to view the deer.

The castle's long dining room is home to 12 of the 13 17th century portraits of [[Jacob]] and his 12 sons painted by [[Francisco de Zurbarán]], which were purchased by [[Prince-Bishop]] [[Richard Trevor (bishop)|Trevor]] in 1756 for £125<ref>{{cite news

Part of the building was called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. The Scotland Wing presently serves as accommodation for the Durham Diocesan Office.

==Auckland Castle in the media==
Auckland Castle was shown on [[BBC]]'s [[Antiques Roadshow]] programme in 2006, and two episodes were shown.
