Sutton Hall, Sutton Lane Ends

Sutton Hall is a former country house to the west of the village of Sutton Lane Ends, Cheshire, England. The present building dates from the middle of the 17th century, with additions and alterations in the late 18th century, and replaced a previous manor house. It has since been converted into a pub/restaurant. Description The house is constructed partly in stone, and partly in timber framing, with a U-shaped plan. The arms of the "U" end in irregular gables. The left gable is in stone, and the right is timber-framed. The upper storey of the right gable is jettied, the jetty being supported on brackets carved with wooden figures, one a knight in chain mail. Between the two wings is the former great hall. A 16th century chapel at the rear of the house, which has served at different times as stables and as a convent, now serves as the restaurant kitchens. The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. Not far from the hall is a Bronze Age barrow or cairn, probably a cremation site, now much reduced in size. History Once the property of the Sir Humphrey Davenport, Chief Baron of the Exchequer in 1631, the Manor of Sutton later passed by marriage to Sir Rowland Belasyse, an ancestor of the Earls of Fauconberg. In 1819 it was acquired by the Countess of Lucan and descended to her successors, the Lords Lucan, primarily used as a farmhouse. The countess had been born Elizabeth Belasyse, daughter of Henry Belasyse, 2nd Earl Fauconberg and in 1794 had married Richard Bingham, who became the 2nd Earl of Lucan in 1799. By 1804, after six children, they had separated. In the 1880s and 1890s, the property was rented by the explorers Theodore Bent and his wife Mabel Bent. In 2008 the building was substantially refurbished as a restaurant by Brunning and Price, the then owners. See also Listed buildings in Sutton, Cheshire East References

Ofsted judgements Ofsted published a report in 2010 which detailed their findings as satisfactory, with a proven ability to attain a rating of good with continued improvement. In 2012, Ofsted returned to assess the ICT subject, which was awarded a rating of good. In 2015 the school's overall effectiveness was rated as "inadequate" by Ofsted, the report stating that "the proportion attaining five good GCSE grades, including in English and mathematics, is significantly below the national average and has declined recently ... teaching, learning and assessment are inadequate. Teaching does not motivate pupils well...many staff lack confidence in the school’s leaders". Accreditations The Lenham School holds several national quality standards and awards including the Artsmark Gold Award, Healthy Schools Award, and Eco Schools Silver Award.

Swan Bridge

Swan Bridge, also known as Castle Mill Bridge, carries Paradise Street over the Castle Mill Stream in Oxford, England. Oxford Castle lies to the north-east, and has an entrance from Paradise Street adjacent to the bridge. To the north, the Castle Mill Stream is crossed by Quaking Bridge, whilst to the south it is crossed by a pair of footbridges before the bridge for Oxpens Road. The bridge has two stone arches, with a cutwater on the north side, and a level roadway that is flanked by cast-iron railings. It probably dates from the early 19th century, was rebuilt in 1895, and was Grade II listed in 1972. Nearby was the Castle Mill, established by 1086 and demolished in 1930, whose site is now marked by the pair of weirs just upstream from the bridge. The land near the bridge was historically known as the Swans’ Nest after the swans that were bred there. Swan's Nest Brewery (later the Swan Brewery) was recorded on the site in 1700. References

Swanpool, Cornwall

Swanpool (Cornish: Lynnyeyn Pryskelow, meaning 'cold pool of the elm thicket') is a small coastal saline lagoon with a shingle bar, separating it from the beach of the same name. The South West Coast Path crosses the bar. The pool is near the town of Falmouth, on the south coast of Cornwall, England, UK, between Maenporth and Gyllyngvase. A notable building in the area is Swanpool House, a 19th-century building which was occupied by American forces during the Second World War but is now in use as holiday apartments. There was formerly a mine extending beneath the lagoon. Natural history Coastal saline lagoons are water bodies that are fed by saline water, in this case from the adjacent sea of Falmouth Bay, either by percolation through the bar, or, by restricted inlets such as a sluice. Swanpool also receives freshwater from a small stream and from rainfall. The water of Swanpool has permanent vertical stratification with variation in the salinity with depth. The pool is a Local Nature Reserve, and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It is of scientific importance as it is one of the few locations that has the perfect salinity for the growth of the trembling sea mat (Victorella pavida), a bryozoan. Some other species of fauna and flora at Swanpool are: mallard, moorhen, mute swan, coot, water rail, kingfisher, little grebe, siskin, tufted duck, cuckoo flower and yellow flag iris. Swanvale nature reserve There is also a small Cornwall Wildlife Trust nature reserve called Swanvale which runs from the northern end of Swanpool towards the town. It comprises mostly willow carr, which provides shelter for many small birds and mammals. Swanpool mine Swanpool mine is 80 fathoms (480 ft; 150 m) deep and produced £60,000 worth of silver-lead ore. It started in the early 18th century, closing in 1865 and recommenced on 22 November 1880, financed by Sir Julius Vogel and his friends. It closed shortly after 1885. Art There is a painting by Wallace Martin, Falmouth Grammar School Swimming Sports at Sunny Cove, near Swanpool, Falmouth, dated to 1951. Visitor facilities Swanpool Beach is a training ground for kayaking, paddleboarding and coasteering, with a beach café, a beach restaurant, beach huts for rent in the Summer, Hooked (formerly the Three Mackerels Restaurant), car-parking (charge in summer), a public lavatory and crazy golf. Dogs are not allowed on the beach between Easter Sunday and 1 October. References External links Swanpool Management Plan 2001-2006 (pdf format).

Swanwick Hall School

Swanwick Hall School is a mixed secondary school and sixth form located in Swanwick, Alfreton, Derbyshire, England. In 2004 Ofsted noted that the school had strong university links and had Training School status. It was formerly a country house belonging to the local Wood family. History The Hall (1771-1922) The main building was constructed in 1771-72 by Joseph Pickford for Hugh Wood, a gentleman in Swanwick. It was expanded in 1812 to the west wing, with a new drawing room and tea room. This was around the same time the estate was expanded to thirty acres on the south east end of the newly opened Swanwick crossroads, due to the Alfreton Enclosure Act 1812 (52 Geo. 3 c. ciii). It was expanded again and heavily modified in 1889, when it was expanded by an east wing, conservatory, flag room and a refronted south façade on the west wing. The Wood family started letting out the house in the late 1890’s, and started selling off parts of the Wood family estate in Derbyshire, and mainly left Swanwick by 1912. When J. W. H. Wood died in late 1919, his wife, Christina Mary Wood, sold off Swanwick Hall in 1920, over to Derbyshire County Council for £10,376. It was known as the coeducational Swanwick Hall Grammar School from 1922, It had extensions designed by county council architect, G. Widdows, and was opened by the Duke Of Devonshire. Comprehensive The school became comprehensive in 1973. Previously a community school administered by Derbyshire County Council, Swanwick Hall School was converted to academy status in April 2016. The school is now part of the Two Counties Trust which includes Ashfield School and Selston High School. However, Swanwick Hall School continues to coordinate with Derbyshire County Council for admissions. Notable pupils Swanwick Hall Grammar School Robert J.

Swarthmoor Hall

Swarthmoor Hall is a mansion at Swarthmoor, in the Furness area of Cumbria, North West England. Furness is part of the historic county of Lancashire. The Hall was home to Thomas and Margaret Fell, the latter an important player in the founding of the Religious Society of Friends (Quaker) movement in the 17th century. It is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building. It remains in use today as a Quaker retreat house. History Swarthmoor Hall was built by a lawyer named George Fell about 1568. It was inherited by his son Thomas, a lawyer and later a member of Parliament, Vice Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and an influential supporter of Parliament during the English Civil War. In 1634 Thomas married Margaret Askew and she moved into the Hall. George Fox visited the Hall in 1652. Thomas Fell was travelling as a judge, but Fox had an audience with Margaret Fell, who became interested in his new doctrines. She arranged for him to preach in St Mary's Church in nearby Ulverston and at the Hall. During his time there, many people were convinced of the truth of his teachings.When Thomas Fell returned home, he was persuaded by his wife and some others to listen to Fox, who successfully appealed to his pro-Parliamentary sentiments. Fell was never totally convinced by Fox's religious teachings, but he did allow his home to be used as a meeting house for the early Friends. Among those connected with the meeting were the missionary preachers Alice and Thomas Curwen, natives of nearby Baycliff, who were active in the Furness district, then in New England, Barbados and Nevis, and later in Huntingdonshire and other parts of England. The meeting continued to use the hall until 1691, when a meeting house was built nearby. Thomas Fell died in 1658. Eleven years later George Fox married the widowed Margaret Fell, and when not travelling, occasionally lived at Swarthmoor. Fox died in London in 1691 and Margaret died at the Hall in 1702. Quaker functions The London Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends purchased the Hall in 1951 for £9,000 and it still belongs to the Religious Society of Friends. The annual Swarthmore Lecture is one of a series of lectures, started in 1908, addressed to the Britain Yearly Meeting of the Friends. The Quaker-founded Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania was named after Swarthmoor Hall. Swarthmoor is one of the four houses (Swarthmoor, Firbank, Pendle, Briggflatts) at the Quaker Bootham School, a boarding-school in York, and it was one of the three houses at Great Ayton Friends' School.

Swarthmoor Hall

Swarthmoor Hall — rezydencja w Swarthmoor, w krainie Furness, w hrabstwie Kumbria, w regionie North West England. Furness stanowiło dawniej część hrabstwa Lancashire. Posiadłość była domem Thomasa Fella i jego żony Margaret, która odegrała ważną rolę w powstaniu Religijnego Towarzystwa Przyjaciół (kwakrów) w XVII wieku. Obiekt uznany został przez English Heritage za zabytek klasy II* i nadal jest wykorzystywany przez kwakrów: organizuje się w nim kursy, ponadto służy jako ustronie. Historia Swarthmoor Hall został wzniesiony przez prawnika George'a Fella około 1568 roku. Odziedziczył go jego syn Thomas, prawnik, członek Parlamentu Anglii, wicekanclerz Księstwa Lancaster, wpływowy zwolennik okrągłogłowych podczas angielskiej wojny domowej. W 1634 roku poślubił on Margaret Askew, która zamieszkała wtedy w rezydencji. George Fox odwiedził posiadłość w 1652 roku. Thomas Fell był wtedy w podróży, jako sędzia, lecz George Fox spotkał się z Margaret Fell, która okazała zainteresowanie jego nową doktryną. Dzięki jej protekcji wygłosił on kazania w St Mary's Church w pobliskim Ulverston oraz w samym Swarthmoor Hall. Podczas jego pobytu w rezydencji wielu ludzi przekonało się do jego nauk. Kiedy Thomas Fell wrócił do domu, został namówiony przez żonę i kilka innych osób, aby posłuchać Geogre'a Foxa, który z powodzeniem odwoływał się do jego proparlamentarnych sympatii. Thomas Fell nigdy nie przekonał się w pełni do nauczania G. Foxa, ale wyraził zgodę na to, aby jego dom służył za miejsce spotkań dla pierwszych kwakrów. Wśród nich byli m.in. Alice i Thomas Curwenowie, misjonarze i kaznodzieje, pochodzący z pobliskiego Baycliff, którzy prowadzili ożywioną działalność w Furness, następnie w Nowej Anglii, na Barbados i Nevis, a potem w Huntingdonshire i innych częściach Anglii. Spotkania odbywały się w Swarthmoor Hall do 1691 roku, kiedy to niedaleko wzniesiony został dom spotkań. Thomas Fell zmarł w 1658 roku. Jedenaście lat później George Fox ożenił się z owdowiałą Margaret Fell i kiedy nie podróżował, od czasu do czasu mieszkał w posiadłości. George Fox zmarł w Londynie w 1691 roku, Margaret Fox zaś w 1702 roku w Swarthmoor Hall. Kwakrzy Londyńskie Spotkanie Roczne (ang. London Yearly Meeting) w 1951 roku zakupiło rezydencję za 9 tysięcy funtów i do dziś należy ona do kwakrów. Swarthmore Lecture to seria wykładów, zapoczątkowana w 1908 roku, skierowana do Brytyjskiego Spotkania Rocznego (ang. Britain Yearly Meeting). Ufundowany przez kwakrów Swarthmore College w Pensylwanii nazwany został tak po Swarthmoor Hall. Swarthmoor to także jeden z budynków (obok Firbank, Pendle oraz Briggflatts) Bootham School, kwakierskiej szkoły z internatem w Yorku, był również jednym z trzech budynków Great Ayton Friends' School.
