33–35 High Petergate
33–35 High Petergate is a mediaeval building in the city centre of York, in England. The oldest part of the building was constructed in the 14th century as part of a terrace facing Stonegate, this part is now known as 60 Stonegate. The main part of the building, two houses now numbered 33 and 35 High Petergate, is timber framed and was originally of two jettied storeys, built at an unknown date. Around 1600, a jettied second floor and attic were added, and 60 Stonegate was combined with the High Petergate row. At the corner of the building is a dragon post inscribed ":ANNO:DO:1646". In the early 18th century, an extension was added at the rear of the building, doubling its depth. 33 Petergate was altered in the early 19th century, and a small brick-built rear wing was added. Later in the century, shop fronts were inserted at ground level, and these survive. Inside, there are several early doors and the upper part of the staircase in No. 35 is also early, while the lower par ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Timber Framed
Timber framing () and "post-and-beam" construction are traditional methods of building with heavy timbers, creating structures using squared-off and carefully fitted and joined timbers with joints secured by large wooden pegs. If the structural frame of load-bearing timber is left exposed on the exterior of the building it may be referred to as half-timbered, and in many cases the infill between timbers will be used for decorative effect. The country most known for this kind of architecture is Germany, where timber-framed houses are spread all over the country. The method comes from working directly from logs and trees rather than pre-cut dimensional lumber. Artisans or framers would gradually assemble a building by hewing logs or trees with broadaxes, adzes, and draw knives and by using woodworking tools, such as hand-powered braces and augers (brace and bit). Since this building method has been used for thousands of years in many parts of the world like Europe (Germ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Stonegate (York)
Stonegate is a street in the city centre of York, in England, one of the streets most visited by tourists. Most of the buildings along the street are Listed buildings in the United Kingdom, listed, meaning they are of national importance due to their architecture or history. History The street roughly follows the line of the ''via praetoria'' of Eboracum, the Roman city, which ran between what are now St Helen's Square and York Minster. The street appears to have lost importance in the Anglian and Jorvik period. York Minster was rebuilt in the 11th century, and stone for it was brought up the road, from a quay behind what is now York Guildhall. This appears to have brought the street back to prominence, and new building plots were laid adjoining the north-eastern part of the street. This part of the street lay in the Liberty (division), Liberty of St Peter's, associated with the Minster, and many of its buildings belonged to the church, the whole area soon becoming built up, ...

High Petergate
Petergate is a street in the city centre of York, in England. It is divided into High Petergate and Low Petergate. The well-known view of the Minster from Low Petergate is described by the City of York Council as "excellent". History Petergate generally follows the course of the via principalis of Roman Eboracum, which ran from the Porta Principalis Dextra, now Bootham Bar, to the Porta Principalis Sinistra, in what is now King's Square (York), King's Square. The main deviation from the Roman route is around its junction with Grape Lane, and this has been associated with destruction occurring when the Great Heathen Army entered York in 866. Based on archaeological records, the York Civic Trust argues that the street fell out of use immediately after the Roman period, but was re-established while the Roman walls still survived. This may have been as early as 627, when the first York Minster was built. In its early years, the minster had a large cemetery, which extended as far ...

Dragon Beam
Dragon beam is a horizontal, diagonal beam in the corner(s) of some traditional timber-framed buildings. The term is commonly used in both hip roof framing and jettying. Older publications may use the synonyms dragging beam, dragging piece, dragging tie, dragon piece or dragon tie. Inconsistencies in modern usage are discussed below. In French it is called a or . Etymology The etymology of dragon is unclear. The term may be descended from German (a carrier), Danish (bearing beam, joist, girder) or Dutch (beam). The origin has also been proposed as a corruption of diagonal or diagon. Hip roofs The dragon beam lies parallel to and below a hip rafter and carries the rafter. The dragon beam is carried by the wall on the outer end and by a horizontal piece between the two walls on the inside end. There are conflicting usages for this term in the U.K. and U.S.A. (see below). The most common usage seems to be combination dragon beam/cross tie. * A dragon beam lands on a dragon tie. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Grade II* Listed
In the United Kingdom, a listed building is a structure of particular architectural or historic interest deserving of special protection. Such buildings are placed on one of the four statutory lists maintained by Historic England in England, Historic Environment Scotland in Scotland, in Wales, and the Historic Environment Division of the Department for Communities in Northern Ireland. The classification schemes differ between England and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland (see sections below). The term has also been used in the Republic of Ireland, where buildings are protected under the Planning and Development Act 2000, although the statutory term in Ireland is " protected structure". A listed building may not be demolished, extended, or altered without permission from the local planning authority, which typically consults the relevant central government agency. In England and Wales, a national amenity society must be notified of any work to be done on a listed building ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Houses Completed In The 14th Century
A house is a single-unit residential building. It may range in complexity from a rudimentary hut to a complex structure of wood, masonry, concrete or other material, outfitted with plumbing, electrical, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.Schoenauer, Norbert (2000). ''6,000 Years of Housing'' (rev. ed.) (New York: W.W. Norton & Company). Houses use a range of different roofing systems to keep precipitation such as rain from getting into the dwelling space. Houses generally have doors or locks to secure the dwelling space and protect its inhabitants and contents from burglars or other trespassers. Most conventional modern houses in Western cultures will contain one or more bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen or cooking area, and a living room. A house may have a separate dining room, or the eating area may be integrated into the kitchen or another room. Some large houses in North America have a recreation room. In traditional agriculture-oriented societies, domes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
