| 释义 |
Belle Isle is the largest of 18 islands on Windermere, a mere in the English Lake District,[1] and the only one ever to have been inhabited.[1] It is 1 km in length. The Roman governor at Ambleside built a villa on the island. In 1250 it was the seat of the district's Lord of the Manor.[1] It was also a Royalist stronghold during the English Civil War.[1] Belle Isle House was built in 1774 to designs by John Plaw. It is unusual in that it is circular in plan, built of brick, three floors high with a four column portico; it draws closely on the Pantheon, Rome.[2][3] The house was sold along with the island to the wealthy Curwen family who renamed the island after their daughter, Isabella.[1] It was then sold on to Isabella Curwen by her family in 1781 for £1,720 and was permanently renamed after her.[4] The descendants of Isabella and her husband John Christian Curwen lived on the island until 1993.[1] It is called 'Bell Island'[1][4] not 'Isabella Island' because of use of the shortened form of Isabella- Bella, which lost the 'a' to become 'Bell', spelt 'Belle' by the Ordnance Survey map of 1925 over the years. It was known locally as the Great Island or Long Holme[1][4] and formerly known as Longholm, before its renaming in 1774.[1] In 1996 (some records suggest 23 December 1994), Belle Isle House suffered serious damage following a large fire. However, it was repaired and is once again a place of residence.[5] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 {{cite web|url=http://www.golakes.co.uk/windermere/windermere-history.aspx|title=History of Windermere and Bowness|publisher=Go Lakes|date=8 April 2015}} {{coord|54|21|43|N|2|56|04|W|region:GB_type:isle_source:dewiki|display=title}}{{Cumbria-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.lake-district.gov.uk/index/enjoying/windermere/windermere_outonthelake/windermere-islands.htm|title=Windermere Islands|publisher=Lake District National Park|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080503080258/http://www.lake-district.gov.uk/index/enjoying/windermere/windermere_outonthelake/windermere-islands.htm|archivedate=2008-05-03|df=}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thecumbriadirectory.com/Tourist_Attractions/Historic_Houses_and_Buildings/house_view.php?house=belle_isle_round_house |title=Belle Isle Round House|publisher=The Cumbria Directory}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/cumbria/content/articles/2006/07/10/windermere_islands_2006_feature.shtml|title=The islands of Windermere|publisher=BBC|date=10 July 2006}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.timetravel-britain.com/articles/country/lake.shtml|title=Journeying Through Time on Lake Windermere|publisher=timetravel-britain.com}} 3 : Islands of the Lake District|Grade I listed buildings in Cumbria|Grade II* listed parks and gardens in Cumbria |
