The Abbey, Aston Abbotts

The Abbey, Aston Abbotts is a country house in Buckinghamshire, England. The house derived its name from being a property of St. Albans Abbey in the Middle Ages, and it belonged to the Dormer family from the Dissolution of the Monasteries until the early 19th century. While in their ownership the house was almost continuously tenanted, and it was altered in a piecemeal way as a result. In the early 20th century it was a secondary seat of the Spencer family of Coles Hall. It was the family home for Captain Harold and Mrs Beatrice (née Shaw) Morton in 1923 and sold in 1989 after their deaths. It is now an L-shaped house with a plain, mildly neo-Classical, south front of c.1800, masking a medieval hall and dining-room, and Queen Anne drawing-room at W. end; the smaller west wing is Elizabethan. There has been a property at the location since before the Domesday Book. Although the Abbey has never been an ecclesiastical building, it was so named having been built on land confiscated from the Abbotts of St. Albans by Henry VIII. The property has had some illustrious owners including the Duke of Buckingham, Sir James Clark Ross, the polar explorer who gave his name to many geographical features in the Antarctic, such as the Ross Ice Shelf, and President Benes of Czechoslovakia. During the Second World War from 1940 to 1945 Dr Edvard Beneš, the exiled President of Czechoslovakia, stayed at the Abbey in Aston Abbotts. During this period the Morton family moved to The White House, Aston Abbotts. Major Morton being invested him as a Commander in the Order of the White Lion (Order of the White Lion, third class), for services to the Home Guard and wartime defence of the Czechoslovaks. In the gardens of the Abbey there is a lake with two islands, named after the Ross expedition's ships HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. References

Алник (сад)

Сад Алник (англ. The Alnwick Garden) — комплекс т. н. «формальных садов» возле замка Алник в городке Алник (графство Нортумберленд, Англия). Сад был создан в 1750 году и всегда находился во владении герцогов Нортумберлендских, хотя во второй половине XX века был в заброшенном состоянии. Заложил сад 1-й герцог Нортумберлендский Хью Перси, нанявший для этой цели известного ландшафтного дизайнера Ланселота Брауна. 3-й герцог Нортумберлендский Хью Перси был коллекционером растений, которые он привозил со всего мира, поэтому вскоре в теплицах сада стали расти невиданные доселе ананасы. 4-й герцог Нортумберлендский Элджернон Перси добавил секцию «Итальянский сад» с большим зимним садом, и к концу XIX века сады Алник находились на пике своего расцвета: с тисовыми топиарами, аллеями лип и акрами цветов. Во время Второй мировой войны в ходе кампании «Сады победы» сад Алник был переоборудован под продовольственные нужды. Послевоенный аскетизм также не позволил саду вернуться в прежнее русло и после 1945 года, поэтому в 1950 году он попросту был закрыт. В 1997 году герцогиня Нортумберлендская Джейн Перси инициировала возрождение сада. Она наняла бельгийского ландшафтного дизайнера Жака Вирца, и в итоге сад Алник стал самым амбициозным новым садом, созданным в Великобритании со времён Второй мировой войны: на его реконструкцию было истрачено 42 миллиона фунтов стерлингов. В центре парка создан водный каскад, также по его территории разбросаны ещё несколько фонтанов и искусственных водопадов. Для посетителей открыт «дом на дереве» площадью 560 м². Павильоны и центр для посетителей на 1000 человек сконструировал архитектор Майкл Хопкинс из Buro Happold. Ныне парк принадлежит благотворительному фонду и юридически отделён от землевладения одноимённого замка, хотя 12-й герцог Нортумберлендский Ральф Перси пожертвовал парку 17 гектаров земли и добавил 9 миллионов фунтов стерлингов на его реконструкцию. Ядовитый сад В феврале 2005 года на территории был открыт «Ядовитый сад». Там высажены только ядовитые растения; среди наиболее примечательных: чилибуха, болиголов пятнистый, клещевина, наперстянка, белладонна, бругмансия, бобовник. Также в целях антинаркотического просвещения имеются плантации конопли посевной, коки и мака снотворного. Ныне визит в «Ядовитый сад» является основной целью посещения сада Алник.

The Anvil, Basingstoke

The Anvil is a concert hall and performing arts centre in the town of Basingstoke in Hampshire, UK. The building's name reflects its unusual shape, particularly when seen from the western approach, as it resembles the horn end of a traditional blacksmith's anvil. It has also been likened to the bow of a ship. The Anvil was built to tackle what was then seen as a 'cultural desert' in the Basingstoke area, on a site originally set aside for the third phase of Basingstoke's shopping centre. The aim of the project was to raise the profile of the Borough and to establish it as a major regional centre with a range of first-class facilities. It opened in 1994. Performances The hall plays host to a variety of touring productions, stand-up comedians, live bands, opera, and most famously classical music. The hall is designed to be multi-purpose, and has multiple stage formats that fit shows according to their needs, plus a removable proscenium to cater for more theatrical performances that require more than a standard 'black box' stage, notably opera and pantomime. The auditorium has adjustable seating and considered some of the finest acoustics of any concert hall in Europe. The acoustic design was by Richard Cowell of Arup Acoustics. There is a small second auditorium, The Forge, which primarily plays host to acoustic and folk acts. The Anvil Arts International Concert Series takes place at the venue with performances by the BBC Symphony Orchestra. In 2026, the Philharmonia Orchestra performed its 80th birthday finale celebrations at The Anvil.

The Ark, London

The Ark is an office building located in Hammersmith, London, England. Original building The building lies immediately south of the Hammersmith Flyover. Named in reference to its hull-like profile, the Ark was designed by architect Ralph Erskine, for Swedish developers Ake Larson and Pronator. Erskine, based in Sweden, worked from a small office in collaboration with other trusted architects in order to retain design freedom. In the case of the Ark, Erskine and Vernon Gracie (who worked with Erskine on Byker Wall in Newcastle) collaborated with London architects Rock Townsend and latterly Lennart Bergstrom in Stockholm. Planning permission for the building was granted on 19 September 1989; building commenced the same day and the complex was completed in 1992. Owing to the difficult economic circumstances at the time, Ake Larson's UK division did not survive to occupy the building. Drinks company Seagram subsequently occupied the Ark from 1996 until it was bought by Vivendi Universal in 2000. Refurbishment In 2006 German property company Deka sold the Ark to Landid backed by GE Real Estate and O&H Properties, who saw the building required a refit to make the interior better suited for multiple tenants. The ensuing £20 million conversion was carried out by DN-A architects, comprising the stripping out of the central “village” and connecting walkways which spanned the atrium and the floorplates filled in creating two smaller atriums turning “the doughnut plan into a pretzel” in the words of DN-A director Stuart McLarty. A new double height atrium was created on the ground floor, and a new fifth and sixth floor were erected, while the seventh floor was extended as an open mezzanine. As a result, net lettable floor space was increased by 30%, from 12,100 square metres (130,000 sq ft) to 15,600 square metres (168,000 sq ft). Each floor can be subdivided into two spaces and the open balustrading has been replaced with partially glazed partitions. The building remained unoccupied until 2009.

The Arts Club

The Arts Club fue un club de arte de Londres en Inglaterra, fundado por Charles Dickens entre otros en 1863 ante todo como lugar de encuentro de artistas y escritores. Durante el siglo XIX, fue un centro para las artes y aunque un lugar de reunión social fue conocido por ser un lugar donde se ejercían influencias y se desarrollaban carreras. Se veía como el lugar donde se llevaban a cabo las negociaciones de la Royal Academy. Entre sus miembros e invitados se incluyeron Dickens, Kipling, Millais, Monet, Whistler, Rodin, Degas e Turgenev. Sin embargo, a medida que las artes se desarrollaron hacia el Modernismo no pudo mantener el ritmo, y su continua lealtad a la Real Academia de Londres le dio un aire conservador distintivo. Hacia 1891, uno de sus miembros más destacados, James McNeill Whistler, se separó para fundar el club de arte rival, el Chelsea Arts Club. Lugares de encuentro más recientes, como los clubs Colony Room y Groucho, jugaron el papel que El Club del Arts solía tener. Su local original se encontraba en el 17 Hanover Square, Mayfair. Tras treinta años allí, se trasladó cerca de su actual alojamiento, una casa unifamiliar del siglo XVIII en el 40 Dover Street. Fue gravemente bombardeada durante El Blitz y muy modificada. Varios escándalos minaron el cerclo durante el pasado siglo, incluyendo la desaparición de la plata del club de caballeros durante las reformas (cuando se abrieron las cajas estaban llenas de ladrillos), además de cincuenta obras de arte de su colección.​ Ofrece prácticas facilidades, con una discreta sala de dibujo, bar, comedor, bistró y jardin exterior. Se celebran actividades regularmente y coloquios de conocidas personalidades. Normalmente, para ingresar como miembro se ha de rellenar una solicitud, disponible en la secretaría del club. Se siguen unas reglas de vestuario, de tipo "elegante y presentable". Trajes y corbatas están generalizados, pero no son obligatorios. Los requisitos necesarios para convertirse en miembro son: participar o tener cierto interés en el arte, la literatura o la ciencia. Entre sus miembros actuales se incluyen varios académicos prominentes de la Royal Academy, arquitectos y escritores (el Authors' Club está actualmente alojado en el Arts Club). Los artistas del Stuckismo han celebrado reuniones y una exposición en el cerclo. Sir Peter Blake es miembro y también los son artistas como Graham Ovenden (qv: Brotherhood of Ruralists).​ Referencias Lejeune, Anthony (1979). The Gentlemen's Clubs of London.
