Book excerpt: Buckingham means literally ‘the land of Bucca’s people in the bend of the river’, a small Saxon village. The success of this campaign made the castle redundant and Buckingham lagged behind trading centres such as Aylesbury. In recent times Buckingham has reversed this trend, with the Buckingham Development Company and Its University. “...beautifully produced, and should give pleasure to both the scholar and the layperson.” Chiltern Open Air Museum Newsletter
Download or read book The Strange History Buckingham Palace written by Patricia Wright and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2008-06-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buckingham Palace is one of the most familiar buildings in the world, but who knows the real tales hidden behind its ceremonial gates? Who was the witch that once lived in the royal courtyard? How could courtesans once have plied their trade in front of the present royal windows? How dare a prime minister call the palace a monstrous insult to the nation? This text presents a detailed exploration of the ordinary and sometimes extraordinary people who owned or lived on the land now occupied by the Palace, and of the royal occupants who later inhabited it. The Strange History of Buckingham Palace reveals how Buckingham Palace came to be the place it is today, from the time when it probably formed the escape route from a Roman battle nearly 2000 years ago, to the establishment of the first gentleman's house there in the 17th century, and on into a chequered royal history, which includes an ambitious Saxon queen and James I's plan to found an English silk industry in the Palace gardens.

Download or read book Buckingham Palace written by Ashley Hicks and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interior designer and artist Ashley Hicks presents his photographs and description of the interior design of Buckingham Palace, home of Britain's royal family since 1837. An important representation of Regency, Victorian, and Edwardian styles, the palace is the work of such noted architects as John Nash and Sir Aston Webb. Hicks records the formal spaces with vibrancy, capturing the magnificent rooms furnished with treasures from the Royal Collection. Starting at the Grand Staircase, Hicks leads us through the state rooms, which include the White Drawing Room and the Blue Drawing Room that both overlook the palace gardens; the Ballroom, which is the setting for twenty investiture ceremonies each year; and the Throne Room, used by Queen Victoria for spectacular costume balls in the 1840s. The long, skylit Picture Gallery is hung with important works of art from the Royal Collection by Rembrandt van Rijn, Peter Paul Rubens, Nicolas Poussin, Anthony van Dyck, Johannes Vermeer, and Canaletto, among others. Decorative furnishings from George IV's exotic Brighton Pavilion lend a fanciful turn to many of the rooms.
