Port Eliot House, Cornwall (Historic House)
Port Eliot House is a stately home in St Germans, Cornwall. It is the ancestral seat of the Eliot family. The house is within an estate of 6,000-acre which extends into the neighbouring villages of Tideford, Trerulefoot and Polbathic. Originally built as a priory with adjoining St Germans Priory Church, parts of the house date back to the 12th century. It is believed to be the longest continuously inhabited dwelling in England. St Germans Priory Church was once Cornwall's principal cathedral. The house was extensively remodelled in the 18th century by the renowned architect Sir John Soane. The surrounding gardens and parklands were designed by the notable landscape architect Humphry Repton. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Eliot family invested substantially in the estate, building numerous farmhouses, fishermen's cottages and other dwellings across the land. In 2008 the house and grounds opened to the public for the first time. The house is within the council area of Cornwall.

Portchester Castle, Hampshire (Mediæval Castle)
Portchester Castle is a mediæval castle, developed within the walls of a Roman Saxon Shore fort, situated at the northern end of Portsmouth Harbour, at Portchester, Hampshire. The strategic importance of Portchester led to the Roamns building a 3rd-century Saxon Shore fort on the site. The site may have continued in some form of occupation from then until Norman times. The Norman castle was probably first built in the late 11th century and then rebuilt in stone in the 12th century. It was taken under royal control in 1154 and became a favoured hunting lodge of King John. In anticipation of a French invasion during the first quarter of the 14th century, Edward II extensively reinforced Portchester Castle. From the late 17th century it became a prison. It is within the council area of Fareham (Hampshire).
