Og's Quiz

[ishtat]

I'm not giving away any answers yet. The next part of the quiz will stump many Brits:

Place this.

WHEN THEY WERE BUILT, in which county or city where these buildings?

01. Greenwich Hospital?

02. The White Tower of the Tower of London?

03. Kits Coty House?

04. Hampton Court?

05. Harewood House?

06. Hatfield House?

07. Eltham Palace?

08. Buckingham Palace?

09. Leeds Castle?

10. Battle Abbey?

1 Greenwich hospital- built as a sailors home about 1690

2 White Tower- 1090 Bill Conk City of London.

3 Kits Coty - Remains of a neolithic long Barrow near Aylesford Kent

4 Hampton Court - Richmond on Thames Surrey now Gtr London circa 1515

5 Harewood House - mid 18th century between Harrrogate and Leeds Yorkshire. Good place to spot Red Kites.

6 Hatfield House - Hertfordshire present house built in about 1610 but previous palace on site the home of Elizabeth 1st as a child.

7 Eltham Palace - south east London Art Deco bult by the Courtauld family about 1930

8 Leeds Castle - is in Kent not Yorkshirebuilt on a saxon site (Esledes)

9 Battle Abbey - East Sussex about 1090

10 Buckingham Palace - Westminster, present house built from 1703 to 20th century , many previous houses on site.

I have the advantage of having visited all except two, Buckingham Palace and Hatfield Houses.

But that hasn't answered all the questions about what county/city when they were built (and more than one that you have answered - are wrong. Sorry.)

Og, your question seems to have confused were with where.

 

[oggbashan]

I've just returned from giving my quiz to the pensioners' group.

The results were woeful. Out of a possible 50 points, one team scored five and a half.

The winners reached a massive twenty-five and a half, just over 50%.

But they enjoyed themselves and had a good laugh about their incompetence.

They want me to do another quiz later in the year so I must have got something right.

Og, your question seems to have confused were with where.

I didn't need to know WHEN they were built but in which administrative unit they were when they were built. One is a trick question:

No.3 Kit's Coty House is neolithic. At that time there were no administrative units, or if there were, we don't know what they were. The answer is NONE, but I gave half a point for Kent because I was getting desperate for some right answers.

4 Is Joseph

6 is Ephesians.

7 is Caiaphas though his father in law Annas probably told him what to do.

A pedant might say 5 was sea of reeds depending on translation.

So did some of my pensioners' teams. They scored highest on this last round - not difficult since their average on the previous rounds was 2.5 out of 10.

Depends on translation: Jeremiah 46.9 "Drive furiously, Oh Horsemen!"
