Fix this textC ARISBROOKE CASTLE, ISLE OF WIGHT.
Fix this textj\| O portion of England combines within
Fix this textso small a space so many tempting
Fix this textlocalities as the Isle of Wight. Its famed
Fix this textscenery, united with the freshness of the
Fix this textair and softness of its climate, makes it
Fix this textat once pleasant, picturesque and beauti-
Fix this textful. It may be added that equally no
Fix this textportion of the old land is better known
Fix this textor regarded with higher favor by visitors
Fix this textfrom Greater Britain than this “blessed
Fix this textspot.” In that battle for “constitutional
Fix this textrights” our forefathers waged over so
Fix this textmany centuries the Isle of Wight figures,
Fix this textthe Castle of Carisbrooke providing, as
Fix this textit were, the memorial. It was in this
Fix this textvenerable fortalice Charles 1 took refuge
Fix this textwith its Governor, Colonel Hammond,
Fix this textin November, 1647, only too soon to find
Fix this texthis asylum turned into a prison, where
Fix this texthe remained for 13 months. This castle,
Fix this textoriginally a fortress, pleasantly situated
Fix this textnear the centre of the island, is believed
Fix this textto have been built by the Saxons so
Fix this textearly as the sixth century, and, according
Fix this textto the annals, it was besieged by Cedric
Fix this textIn 530. It was certainly enlarged by Wil-
Fix this textliam Fitzosborne, the “first Lord of
Fix this textWight,” in the eleventh century, was
Fix this textcaptured by Stephen in 1136, and during
Fix this textthe reign of Richard II (1377-1399) suc-
Fix this textcessfully withstood a siege by the French.
Fix this textFrom this “sanctuary which became a
Fix this textprison” Charles tried twice to escape.
Fix this textOnce he failed because the bars of his
Fix this textwindow were too close together; the
Fix this textnext time, because his intention became
Fix this textknown, so the guard was doubled. It was
Fix this textsoon after this second attempt he was re-
Fix this textmoved as a prisoner to Hurst Castle,
Fix this texton the mainland, so well known to all
Fix this textAustralians and New Zealanders who
Fix this texthave arrived at, or departed from, South-
Fix this textampton. The ruins of Carisbrooke Castle
Fix this textare picturesque, and some parts of the
Fix this textvenerable building are in a state of good
Fix this textpreservation. Other portions have been
Fix this text■estored, with a degree of success not
Fix this textnoticeable in all restoration attempts as
Fix this textthey relate to very ancient buildings.
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
