dbo:abstract
Midford Castle is a folly castle in the village of Midford, and the parish of Southstoke 3 miles (5 km) south of Bath, Somerset, England. The castle was built in 1775 for from designs by John Carter in the shape of the "clubs" symbol used in playing cards (♣). It has been suggested, originally in a magazine article in 1899, that he asked for the clubs design to represent an ace of clubs because he had obtained the money for the castle from gambling on a card game, but this is unlikely, as the porch which creates the "stem" of the symbol was added later. It is more likely that the layout was taken from an article which had been published in Builder's Magazine in 1774. The house has a sub triangular or trefoil plan formed by 3 semi-circular towers conjoined in a gothic style. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building. In 1810, the castle was bought by one of the Conollys of Castletown House in County Kildare, who added the porch (said to give the clubs symbol its stalk) and built the nearby stables and chapel, known as the priory. The latter fell into disrepair after the last of the Conollys sold the house in 1901. Soon after 1810 Kingham Field, which was part of the estate, was operating as a stone quarry similar to the nearby Combe Down and Bathampton Down Mines. William Smith, who became known as "Father of English Geology", proposed conveying the stone by a railway down to Tucking Mill where it would be sawn by machinery, and then loaded on to canal barges and transported via the Somerset Coal Canal and the Kennet and Avon Canal to Bath and London. In April 1814, Smith mortgaged the remainder of his estate to Charles Conolly who then controlled the railway and probably extended it to his Vinegar Down Quarry. The scheme failed and in 1819 Conolly had Smith committed to the King's Bench Prison for debt and took over the sawmill and Smith's house at Tucking Mill. Michael Fenwick Briggs and his wife Isabel (better known by her pen name of Isabel Colegate) bought Midford in 1961 and carried out extensive renovation work; which included incorporating the chapel into the garden as a picturesque ruin. In July 2007, the castle was sold to actor Nicolas Cage for £5 million. Cage sold the castle in 2009. The castle is listed Grade I on the National Heritage List for England. The castle grounds also include the Grade II listed archway with lodge and screen wall, a pair of gatepiers and gates, and the Grade II* listed group of the stables, old chapel, walls enclosing the stable yard, coach house and greenhouse. The priory 500 yards to the north east of the castle is Grade II listed. Midford Castle ist eine Folly im Dorf Midford, 5 km südlich von Bath in der englischen Grafschaft Somerset. Die Burg im mittelalterlichen Stil ließ Henry Disney Roebuck nach Plänen des Architekten John Carter 1775 in Form eines Kreuzsymbols von Spielkarten (♣) erbauen. Ein Artikel in einem Magazin von 1899 postulierte, dass Roebuck die Folly in Form eines Spielkartenkreuzes bauen ließ, weil er das Geld hierfür bei einem Kartenspiel gewonnen hatte. Dies ist aber unwahrscheinlich, weil die Vorhalle, die den Stamm des Kreuzes darstellt, erst später angefügt wurde. Wahrscheinlicher ist es, dass er die Form aus einem Artikel im Builder's Magazine von 1774 hatte. Das Haus hat einen Grundriss im Form eines dreiblättrigen Kleeblattes, das drei halbrunde Türme bilden, die in gotischem Stil zusammengefügt sind. Das Gebäude wurde von English Heritage als historisches Bauwerk I. Grades gelistet. 1810 kaufte die Burg einer der Conollys aus im irischen County Kildare, der die Vorhalle anbauen und die Stallungen und die Kapelle in der Nähe errichten ließ, die heute „Priorei“ genannt werden. Letztere verfielen, nachdem der letzte Conolly das Haus 1901 verkauft hatte. Bald nach 1810 wurde Kingham Field, ein Teil des Anwesens, als Steinbruch, ähnlich den nahegelegenen Combe Down and Bathampton Down Mines betrieben. William Smith, der als „Vater der englischen Geologie“ bekannt wurde, schlug vor, die Steine mit einer Eisenbahn hinunter nach Tucking Mill zu transportieren, wo sie mit Maschinen gesägt und dann auf Kanalbarken verladen und über den Somerset Coal Canal und den Kennet-und-Avon-Kanal nach Bath und London transportiert würden. Im April 1814 verpfändete Smith den Rest des Anwesens an Charles Conolly, der dann die Eisenbahn kontrollierte und sie vermutlich bis zur Vinegar-Down-Steinbruch verlängern ließ. Das System funktionierte nicht und 1819 ließ Conolly Smith wegen Schulden im King's-Bench-Gefängnis einsperren und übernahm die Sägemühle und Smiths Haus in Tucking Mill. Michael Briggs und seine Gattin Isabel (besser bekannt unter ihrem Pseudonym Isabel Colegate) kauften Midford Castle 1961. Sie ließen umfangreiche Renovierungsarbeiten durchführen, bei denen u. a. die Kapelle in einen Garten als pittoreske Ruine integriert wurde. Im Juli 2007 wurde die Burg für £ 5 Mio. an den Schauspieler Nicolas Cage verkauft. Cage verkaufte die Burg 2009 weiter.
