Sherborne Castle and the Classic and Super Car day held July 2018, Sherborne, Dorset. England. ( 3 )
Sherborne Castle And Classic and Super Car day.
This event I went to, on the 15th July 2017. A first time visit for me. I must say, I was disappointed with the event. It was for me disjointed. I found the Italian Day at Lymington before this event to be a, much more friendly day. And had over 50 Ferrari’s there, a lot more than they had at this special day. I understand the event was for charity and I do acknowledge that much effort and time went into the event to turn out as it did. However to have only 5 five Lamborghini’s there was a little disappointing. It was after all a Super Car day. I think the martial’s too could be better they didn’t seem to control the crowds much letting them walk into roped off areas, for protection from the cars and stopped many people getting photographs of the event by stepping in front of other spectators and the cars speeding past. Don’t get me wrong it was not a bad day just a day I thought could have been better. I returned to the 2018 event. The layout was much better, the weather was better, there were more people here but the Marshals still need to work at it. Most visitors were complaining about them. They still not got their act together on this one.
Built by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1594 and stately home of the Digby family since 1617, Sherborne Castle is a Historic House which reflects a glorious variety of decorative styles from over 400 years of English history. Experience the Castle's rich interiors with splendid collections of art, furniture and porcelain. In the cellars see Raleigh's original kitchen and family artefacts and archaeological treasures in the museum. Outside, the eighteenth century gardens designed by Capability Brown with magnificent specimen trees, floral borders and sweeping lawns forming one of his finest Lake landscapes you will see. Delightful walks guide you round the 50-acre Lake, past Sir Walter Raleigh’s Seat to the river Cascade, close by to the adjacent medieval Castle ruins and on to Pope’s seat where you can watch the abundant wildlife on the lake.
Sherborne is a market town and civil parish in north west Dorset, in South West England. It is sited on the River Yeo, on the edge of the Blackmore Vale, 6 miles ( 10 kilometres ) east of Yeovil. The A30 road, which connects London to Penzance, runs through the town. In the 2011 census the population of Sherborne parish and the two electoral wards was 9,523. 28.7% of the population is aged 65 or older. Sherborne's historic buildings include Sherborne Abbey, its manor house, independent schools, and two castles: the ruins of a 12th-century fortified palace and the 16th-century mansion known as Sherborne Castle built by Sir Walter Raleigh. Much of the old town, including the abbey and many medieval and Georgian buildings, is built from distinctive ochre-coloured ham stone. The town is served by Sherborne railway station.
The town was named scir burne by the Saxon inhabitants, a name meaning clear stream and is called as such in the Domesday book. Sherborne was made the capital of Wessex, one of the seven Saxon kingdoms of England, and King Alfred's elder brothers King Ethelbert and King Ethelbald are buried in the abbey. In 705 the diocese was split between Sherborne and Winchester, and King Ine founded an abbey for St Aldhelm, the first bishop of Sherborne. In 933, King Æthelstan granted land at Sherborne to the nuns of Shaftesbury Abbey under the condition that they would recite the Psalter once a year on All Saints' day and say prayers for the king. The bishop's seat was moved to Old Sarum in 1075 and the church at Sherborne became a Benedictine monastery.
