Hills House, Denham

Hills House is a 17th-century residence located on the Village Road in Denham, Buckinghamshire, England. In the late 1930s and early 1940s, it was the home of actress Merle Oberon and her husband, the film producer Sir Alexander Korda. In 1975 the house was purchased by Sir John and Lady Mills. Description The house is built of red brick with a tile roof. It has four gables facing the street, alternately shaped and stepped, and features three storeys. The sections of the house frontage differ. The left section has six double-hung, flush windows with glazing bars, flat brick arches and small brick cornice mouldings. The right section windows have cambered brick relieving arches. The ground floor has an entrance door with wooden architrave and hood on carved brackets. The gables have brick copings and the ground and first floor have brick bands. The interior is reported to feature a semi-circular recess with fluted pilasters and moulded cornice and newel staircase in oak. The exterior is partially covered with wisteria vine. The house is listed as Grade II* on the National Heritage List for England. A plaque placed on the house by The Heritage Foundation commemorates Mills's residence. History Alexander Korda (1893–1956) bought the house and estate at Denham for the sum of £15,000, planning to build film studios on the property. He managed to obtain permission for the construction and sent to California for architects to build the studios, Denham Film Studios, which opened in 1936 but suffered from financial difficulties. After Korda's marriage to film star Merle Oberon (1911–1979) in 1939, the couple lived in the house until their divorce in 1945. The area where the film studio stood, known as 'The Fisheries', is now a park. Sir John Mills bought Hills House in 1975. However, the 4-acre (1.6 ha) garden and the house eventually became too large and the stairs too difficult for the elderly Sir John (1908–2005) and Lady Mills (1911–2005). In 2003 they moved from the house to a bungalow in the village of Denham. References
Hillsborough Trinity Methodist Church

Hillsborough Trinity Methodist Church is situated in the Hillsborough area of Sheffield in South Yorkshire, England. It stands 2.5 miles (4 km) north-west of the city centre on Middlewood Road across from Hillsborough Park at grid reference SK330902. History The church was built at the beginning of the 20th century by John W. Firth to cater to the increasing population as it expanded into the countryside around Sheffield. The site was purchased from J. Willis Dixon of Hillsborough Hall (now Hillsborough library) in December 1898 for £547. An “Iron Church” was erected on nearby Leader road and was used for temporary worship while the church was being built. Hillsborough Trinity was designed in the Gothic style and cost £5,500, opening on 1 September 1902. The church was originally designated as Methodist New Connexion, one of the many factions of the original Wesleyan Methodist church, it merged into the main Methodist Church of Great Britain in 1932. Methodism reached its peak at the beginning of the 20th century when there were eight Methodist churches in the Hillsborough area. However, Hillsborough Trinity is the only one remaining, as the other seven have been demolished or now being used for other purposes. The church has changed very little externally over the years, although a new church hall was added in 1963. The interior of the church has been modified to cater for the needs of modern worship, the original balcony is now not used because of safety concerns. Present day and future The church has extensive adjoining buildings (AD 1901 and 1963) which are still used for Sunday School as well as Brownies, Boys' Brigade as well as many other community events such as coffee mornings, Polly's Parlour (community cafe), toddler groups, craft group, lunch club and other community group meetings. The church is undergoing extensive structural work for the future to make the church a major community building. The plans, form three phases, with phase one having completed in 2014. Phase two began in January 2015 to create a new entrance to church, the church office and improved toilet and shower facilities. Previous refurbishments includes the hall's stage being removed to extend the space; the size of the kitchen was increased by moving the wall separating it from the beginners room. As well as a re-size, the kitchen had a full new fit out of equipment and work-surfaces. Two new rooms were added in the loft space above what was the stage. and the whole of the church was re-painted. Youth Groups The 20th Sheffield Company - Boys' Brigade is based at the church and runs the Anchor, Junior, Company and Senior Sections on Thursday evenings. Scouts, Cubs and Beavers meet on a Monday evening and Guides, Brownies and Rainbows meet on a Tuesday evening.

Hillside High School, Bootle

Hillside High School is a mixed comprehensive secondary school in Bootle, Merseyside, England. History Hillside High School was established in 1972 following the merger of Bootle Girls' Grammar School and Balliol County Secondary School. In the summer of 1984, a £3.5 million refurbishment project began at the Bootle Girls' Grammar School site on Breeze Hill, Bootle, with the aim of consolidating the school onto a single site and reducing its capacity to 750 students. Two years into the refurbishment project, the school was subject to an arson attack in April 1986, causing £2,000 worth of damage. The newly redesigned school was officially opened in May 1989 by David Sheppard, the Bishop of Liverpool. The refurbishment included the addition of a new storey and the conversion of the original school hall into a drama theatre and library. The local authority and building architects ensured that the new additions were carefully integrated with the existing architecture of the original Bootle Girls' Grammar School, which first opened its doors in 1931. In September 2004, Hillside became a designated Specialist Science College. In September 2005 four new humanities classrooms were opened, the dining hall was extended and two existing classrooms were renovated to provide an additional Science laboratory. The school converted to academy status in March 2015 under the umbrella of the Wade Deacon Trust. A 2023 Ofsted inspection graded the school as "good". References
Hoad's Wood

Hoad's Wood is an 80.5-hectare (199-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest west of Ashford in Kent. Natural England described the woodland thus: "This site is a good example of a pedunculate oak-hornbeam woodland on Wealden Clay [comprising] mainly hornbeam coppice-with-standards and oakhazel woodland with some sweet chestnut coppice. There is an outstanding assemblage of insects: moths and butterflies are particularly well documented. The wood also supports a diverse breeding bird community." Birds breeding in the wood include nightingale, woodcock, nuthatch, great-spotted woodpecker and several kinds of tits and warblers. The site is private land with no public access. In March 2021, the woodland was the site where the remains of Sarah Everard were found after her abduction and murder. In January 2024 Hoad's Wood received national attention when it was reported the woodland had become an illegal rubbish dump. Access to the site was blocked by the Environment Agency and a court order put in place to prevent illegal tipping. References

Hogmoor Inclosure

Hogmoor Inclosure is a large area of wooded heath situated 0.5 miles (0.80 km) west from the town of Bordon and within the civil parish of Whitehill in the East Hampshire district of Hampshire, England. The inclosure is used for army training with various tank crossings scattered around the area. The area is historically notable for its connection with the British Army with large barracks surrounding the area. The inclosure was first scouted in 1896 by the Highland Light Infantry with camps being built in the area in 1903. History Before Bordon was being built as an army camp by the Royal Engineers, the whole area surrounding Whitehill and Greatham was made up of woodland which is known as present day Woolmer Forest. A Roman road led through the Hogmoor Inclosure to Longmoor and Longmoor Military Camp which connects to present day Longmoor Road. The inclosure was first being used as an army camp in 1903 and to the present day it is still being used by the British Army and the Longmoor Army Ranges. However, the camp was first used by the Somersetshire Light Infantry in 1904 in which they had returned from the Second Boer War. However, in 2010 Bordon announced its intention to become an Eco Town. The Ministry of Defence has decided to relocate armed forces training from the Hogmoor Inclosure to St Athan in South Wales. This will put the 768 acre inclosure at risk of being built on. References

Hollyhock Island

Hollyhock Island is an inhabited island in the River Thames in England located between Bell Weir Lock and Penton Hook Lock. Location The island is situated in a small channel between the larger Holm Island and the north bank of the River Thames. It is located in Berkshire, within the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, near the county boundary with Surrey. Before county boundary changes in 1974, the island was part of Buckinghamshire and near the border with Middlesex. The island is approximately 80 miles (130 km) from the Thames Estuary at the Isle of Grain. Upstream of the island is Runnymede Bridge, which carries the M25 motorway. Downstream are Church Island and Staines Bridge. The island is located between Bell Weir Lock and Penton Hook Lock. The 25-inch scale Ordnance Survey Great Britain County Series map, published in the 1890s, shows that the island was connected to both the north bank and Holm Island by footbridges. By the time of the 1962 25-inch Ordnance Survey map, these footbridges no longer existed. Use On the island was "The Nest", a house allegedly used by the future king Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson as a romantic getaway. Current Ordnance Survey mapping shows no buildings on the island and no connection to the mainland. In August 2025 it was marketed for sale along with neighbouring Holm Island as a single lot.

Holy Cross Priory, Leicester

Holy Cross Priory is a Roman Catholic parish church and priory of the Order of Preachers (also called Blackfriars or Dominican Friars) on New Walk, in Leicester, England. History The Dominicans first came to Leicester in 1247 establishing a priory at St Clements Church in the north western corner of the old city walls (see Blackfriars, Leicester) sometime in the reign of Henry III. This house was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1538. The order was then absent from the city for more than 280 years. The friars initially returned to Leicester in 1819 but the current priory was not established until 1882. By 1929, the church had proved too small and Friar Vincent McNabb O.P. began to raise money for a new church. The choir and transepts of the church was completed by 1931, and the High Altar was consecrated. The church was finally completed and formally consecrated in 1958. The priory has had two church organs. The first were built by J Porritt & Son of Leicester in 1861. It was moved to the south side of the choir when the first part of the new church opened in 1931. The organ was, however, too small and difficult to play, and so a new organ was bought. The replacement came from St Mary's Church in Preston, Lancashire, and was built by William Ebenezer Richardson in 1880. The friars preach in the village of Woodhouse, at the University of Leicester, De Montfort University and Leicester Royal Infirmary and teach at Blackfriars, Oxford.
