Belvoir Castle – The history


Belvoir, meaning beautiful view in French, dates back to Norman times.
“The name “Belvoir”, is in fact, a Norman import by the French-speaking conquerors, though the native Anglo-Saxon population was unable to pronounce such a foreign word, preferring to call it “Beaver Castle”. Belvoir Castle is still pronounced “Beaver” — despite its spelling — to this very day, which may actually go a long way to explaining the age-long animosity between the insulted French and the traditionalist English…” said Michael Zlatokovsky.
The castle was rebuilt by the wife of the 5th Duke of Rutland and this is when it gained its Gothic look. The architect James Wyatt was chiefly responsible for this restructuring, and the result is a building which bears a superficial resemblance to a medieval castle, its central tower reminiscent of Windsor Castle. The present Castle is the fourth building to have stood on the site since Norman times.
The Castle contains many notable pieces of art and includes paintings by Gainsborough, Reynolds, Holbein and Poussin. It houses outstanding collections of furniture, porcelain, silks, tapestries, French furniture and Italian sculpture. Sculpture extends outside into the Rose and Statue Gardens which are elegantly laid out round a central fountain. The Statue Collection terraced into the hillside includes work by Caius, Cibber – Sculptor to Charles II.
Guided tours are free and available during the weekdays at 12.30pm and 2.30pm or for groups at pre-booked times to suit.

RAF WADDINGTON INTERNATIONAL AIRSHOW at The Olde Barn Hotel

Royal Air Force Waddington, 3 miles south of the city of Lincoln, hosts the largest annual RAF Airshow in the country. Our 2-day show held over the first weekend in July regularly attracts crowds of between 120,000 to 140,000 people. The 2009 show broke all previous records when a crowd of over 170,000 visited the show over the weekend. Although principally a family show, we draw most of our customers from an arc running from Cambridge and Peterborough in the south, through Nottingham, Derby, Sheffield, Doncaster, Leeds, York and onto Hull, plus of course the whole of Lincolnshire. We also attract enthusiasts both nationally and internationally. A crowd survey taken at the 2008 show indicated 75% of the surveyed crowd originated from these expected regional areas, with 37% coming from within the Lincolnshire county boundary. The remaining 25% travel from the rest of the UK and beyond.
The 2009 show drew crowds of over 100,000 on the Saturday and 70,000 on the Sunday. Traditionally Sunday has been the larger day and made up of predominantly local families however, the last 2 years has seen a significant shift to Saturday seeing the largest crowd.
