Pietrapennata, Calabria, Italy

While spectacularly beautiful, Pietrapennata is an ancient, poor and remote village in the mountains of southern Calabria.

Pietrapennata dominates the scene surrounded by a mountain landscape of austere beauty. The small church inside the village preserves the precious statue of the Madonna dell'Alica, attributed to Antonello Gagini and once an integral part of a Byzantine sanctuary.

Castle Combe; often named as the ‘Prettiest Village in England.'

Castle Combe, a medieval village and civil parish within Cotswolds area of outstanding natural beauty in Wiltshire, England.

The village has a rich history and the houses are made up of the honey coloured Cotswold stone, typical for a village of this area.

The village takes its name from a castle built on the hill to the north of the village in the 12th century AD, of which little now remains except earthworks.

No new homes have been built in the historic area since 1600s AD.

During the Middle Ages, the village, along with much of the Cotswolds, enjoyed prosperity due to the growth of a thriving wool industry.

Within Castle Combe, you’ll find a Market Cross and St Andrew’s Church, which dates from the 13th century AD.

The church houses a faceless clock, which is reputed to be one of oldest working clocks in the country.

Numerous weavers’ cottages were erected from local stone, and these ancient honey-hued buildings remain one of the village’s standout features today.

The village was known in particular for manufacturing a red and white cloth known as ‘Castlecombe,’ which was renowned in the markets of Bristol, Cirencester, as well as London and abroad.

In 1440 AD, King Henry VI granted Castle Combe the right to hold a weekly market, with unmistakable Market Cross monument still standing proudly today.

Castle Combe strictly banned all modern attachments such as TV dishes and external wires to the exterior of its houses, restrictions that have been instrumental in helping the historic village to maintain its authentic appearance.

As a result, the village has become a popular location for film crews, with productions including the 1967 filmed musical Doctor Dolittle, Stardust, and The Wolf Man were all shot within the village.

Castle Combe was a key filming location for Stephen Spielberg’s War Horse.

To recreate a 1914 setting, the village’s tarmac through-road was closed and covered with a temporary muddy surface.

Its modern street lamps, signage, and post boxes were either covered or removed altogether. Its white window frames were repainted with more muted colours.

Skendgate c.1348, aka: Shrivendun

Inspired by: Connie Willis' Doomsday Book ...with Manor House, Village area, Church with Bell Tower and Cemetery, Stables and Pond All together there are 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms - pet friendly -

~~~ No CC Included! ~~~

But, you will want to have the EA Store: Castle Collection for 3 items.

This build is inspired by the medieval village setting in Doomsday Book, written by Connie Willis, pub. 1992.

Quote from this review on GoodReads: Despite what textbooks have you believe, history is not only about the columns of dates, the battles, the pivotal events, and the decisions made by those in power. History is about people, and even though everything around them may change over hundreds of years, people remain the same in their essential humanity.

“They’ve all died, she thought, and couldn’t make herself believe it. They’ve all been dead over seven hundred years.”

And that's how Doomsday Book packs such a powerful emotional punch with the sci-fi time travel story turned historical observation turned historical tragedy. Because Connie Willis makes you, the reader, slowly inhabit the world she imagines and come to care about the people she creates.
