File Pennard Castle 2.jpg thumb right Pennard Castle Pennard Castle is a ruined castle , west of the village of Pennard in the Gower Peninsula , in south Wales . The castle was established from the 12th century, likely commissioned by Henry de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Warwick , after being granted the Gower Lordship Lordship of Gower . The castle is believed to have been built as a ringwork castle with wooden palisade s but subsequently rebuilt in locally quarried limestone and reddish sandstone during the late 13th or early 14th century probably by de Braoses who held the castle for part of the 13th century. The castle consisted of a curtain wall surrounding a central courtyard and featured a twin towered gate house, a small semi circular turret and a square tower. A singular entrance on the East side consisting of an archway between two half round towers with square inner sides permitted access. Despite these features, there is evidence of little understanding of military architecture and amateurish execution of some of the castle s features such as ineffective arrow slits. The castle was vulnerable to sandblow and encroachement led to its abandonment by 1400. Today only ruins of the castle remain including parts of the Norman stone hall, tower, gatehouse, and curtain wall survive as ruins.

Kingisel is the name of two non consecutive Roman Catholic abbots who ruled Glastonbury abbey in the seventh and eighth centuries respectively. Kingisel I , whose name also appears as Hemgisel, Hengislus , and Hanigestus , became abbot in 678. According to William of Malmesbury it was during his first year of office that King Kentwine granted six hides to the abbey upon condition that the monks should always have the right of freely electing their abbot according to the Rule of Saint Benedict . In 681 King Baldred granted to him and his successors the manor of Pennard near Glastonbury in this charter, which is given by William Dugdale from the Ashmolean Manuscript , the abbot s name is spelled differently in two sentences, a slip which has led Thomas Tanner bishop Thomas Tanner Notitia Monastica and Charles Eyston Little Monument to suppose that two different persons were referred to. It was during the reign of this abbot that King Ina began his series of munificent benefactions to the abbey. Kingisel I died in the year 705 and was succeeded by Berwald . Kingisel II , whose name is also found as Cingislus, Cengillus , and Hengissingus , was apparently fourth abbot after his namesake he succeeded to the position in the year 729 and died in 744. William of Malmesbury states that Ina s successor, king Edelard , made him grants of land, and the Ashmolean manuscript gives a charter of Cudred, or Cuthred, King of the West Saxons, which confirms to the abbey all the previous grants made to it. In this charter the name is spelled Hengisilus . His successor was Cumbertus . Almost the only record of these abbots consists in the various charters in which they are named. The question as to the genuineness of these early charters is a difficult one, but it may be safely said that at the present day the general trend of opinion is more favourable to them than was the case in 1826, at which date, however, Warner, in his History of the Abbey of Glaston, wrote concerning Ina s chart ... more details
distinguish Caregiver incomplete date May 2010 A Property caretaker is a person, group or organization that cares for real estate for trade or financial compensation, and sometimes as a barter for rent free living accommodations. ref Dunn, Gary. http www.escapeartist.com efam31 rentfree.html Property Caretaking Rent Free . http www.escapeartist.com Escape Artist Magazine and Website . Accessed May 2010. ref The caretaking profession includes positions as housesitters, ranch sitters, bed & breakfast and inn sitters, property managers, estate managers, and hosts at resort s or campground s. Caretakers are sometimes utilized by property owners who do not want or are unable to hire a professional management company. In modern times, it is not unlikely for a property owner to hire a caretaker who will not be residing in the property. In fact, many homeowners who rent their properties hire caretakers instead of property managers in order to save money.
