Wolford Chapel

Wolford Chapel in Devon, England, ist die Geburtsstätte von John Graves Simcoe, dem ersten Lieutenant Governor von Oberkanada. Das Anwesen ist Eigentum der kanadischen Provinz Ontario, weswegen hier die Flagge Kanadas weht, obwohl die Kapelle im Südwestengland liegt. Die Kapelle war Teil des Simcoe-Besitzes in Dunkeswell, bei Honiton und wurde im Auftrag von John Graves Simcoe 1802 gebaut. Die Simcoes hatten einen Besitz in Wolford erworben und Wolford Lodge gebaut. Nach dem Tod Simcoe am 26. Oktober 1806 blieb das Anwesen im Eigentum der Familie bis 1923, als es schließlich verkauft und einzelne Teile herausgelöst wurden. Die Kapelle und der größte Teil des Wohnsitzes wurde von dem britischen Verleger Sir Geoffrey Harmsworth erworben. Die Überlegungen darüber, was mit der Kapelle geschehen sollte, brachten mehrere Vorschläge hervor, darunter der Transfer des Gebäudes nach Kanada. 1966 entschied Harmsworth sich dazu, die Kapelle zugunsten des Volkes von Ontario der John Graves Simcoe Memorial Foundation zu übertragen. Am 27. September 1966, fast 160 Jahre nach dem Tod Simcoes überreichte Harmsworth die Stiftungsurkunde an den damaligen Premierminister Ontarios John Robarts, gleichzeitig wurde von A. G. LeMarchant ein Zugangsrecht zu dem Anwesen gewährt. 1982 erhielt der Ontario Heritage Trust das Eigentum des Anwesens. Die Kapelle wird im Grade II auf der Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historical Interests geführt. Es handelt sich um ein kleines Gebäude mit rechteckigem Grundriss, das aus vor Ort gewonnenen Bruchsteinen gebaut ist, wobei einzelne Baumerkmale aus Kalkstein und das Dach aus Schiefer gefertigt sind. Simcoes Frau Elizabeth Simcoe und einige ihrer Kinder sind an dieser Stelle begraben, die von Ortsansässigen im Namen der John Graves Simcoe Memorial Foundation unterhalten wird.

Wolford Chapel

Wolford Chapel in Devon, England, is the burial place of John Graves Simcoe, the first lieutenant governor of Upper Canada. The building and land are publicly owned by the Canadian province of Ontario, and flies the Flag of Canada despite being in the English countryside. The chapel was part of the Simcoe Estate at Dunkeswell, near Honiton, Devon, in South West England and was built on John Graves Simcoe's commission in 1802, possibly on the site of Old Wulphere Church. The site is on the estate that the Simcoes had purchased at Wolford in order to build Wolford Lodge. Following Simcoe's death on 26 October 1806, the estate remained with the family until 1923 but was eventually sold and some parts were broken up. The Chapel, alongside most of the estate, was acquired by British publisher Sir Geoffrey Harmsworth. Consideration of what to do with the chapel remained, and various ideas were put forward including transporting it to Canada. However, in 1966, Harmsworth decided to donate the chapel to the John Graves Simcoe Memorial Foundation on behalf of the people of Ontario. On 27 September 1966, just under 160 years after Simcoe's death, Harmsworth gave a deed to then-Premier of Ontario John Robarts, alongside a deed making a permanent right of way to access the property, presented by A. G. LeMarchant. In the same year, a restoration had been completed by Harmsworth. A historic plaque was erected on the site by the Archaeological and Historic Sites Board of Ontario. In 1982, the Ontario Heritage Trust acquired the title to the property. Funds were also provided by the John Graves Simcoe Memorial Foundation to allow for long-term care. Subsequently, the Trust, working with the Foundation Committee, arranged for restoration work on the structure. The chapel is a Grade II listed building. It is a small structure, rectangular in plan, built of local stone rubble with limestone ashlar details and a slate roof. It is also the burial place of Simcoe, his wife Elizabeth Simcoe (1766-1850), and six of their eleven children. (Rev Henry Addington Simcoe is buried in Cornwall, England and Katherine, b. 1793 died in Upper Canada, is buried in Toronto.) The site continues to be maintained by local residents on behalf of the Foundation.

Wolverhampton bus station

Wolverhampton bus station is part of a major public transport interchange in the city centre of Wolverhampton, in the West Midlands region of England. It is managed by Transport for West Midlands (TfWM). Local bus services operated by various companies serve the bus station which has 19 departure stands and a single unloading stand although due to logistics in practice most buses unload at or near their departure stand. The bus station is located between Wolverhampton, St George's, West Midlands Metro tram terminus and Wolverhampton railway station, on the site of the former bus station and Pipers Row House, a mid-1990s retail and office block. Background Prior to 1923 Wolverhampton had a mix of motor buses and trams. Trolleybuses ran in the town from 1923 until 1967. The station, which had existed since 1986, was closed after service finished on 3 April 2010. The 1986 bus station replaced the 1980 bus station on the same site which in turn had replaced the original bus station on the northern side of Railway Drive which had primarily been used by Midland Red services. Current bus station The bus station was designed by architects, Austin-Smith:Lord and the mechanical & electrical (M&E) consultants were Hilson Moran. The three steel and glass 'boulevards' are under a translucent, PTFE architectural fabric roof and feature glass-enclosed waiting areas and electronic doors, allowing passengers out of designated pedestrian areas only when buses are on stand. The station's W-shaped design removes the need for bus and pedestrian paths to cross. The bus station's enquiry office is now in the main building, but was in the Queen's Building, a grade II listed building, which was host to Costa Coffee, but which was formerly the carriage entrance to the railway station and is currently empty. The travel shop closed permanently on 1st April 2023. The Interchange Project Building work began in 2010 and in the ensuing months a new pedestrian bridge linking the railway and bus stations was built, a contraflow system installed along the ring road and the bus station rebuilt. The station re-opened on 24 July 2011, which coincided with the Wolverhampton bus network review and marked the end of Phase One of the project. Phase Two, given the go ahead in December 2014 includes improvements to the railway station, a new hotel and redevelopment of the canalside area. The Railway Station Car Park has been refurbished and extended to increase capacity to just over 900 parking spaces. The entire project will eventually see public transport in Wolverhampton connecting in one place linking the bus station, railway station and the West Midlands Metro; the latter's Piper's Row tram stop to be located adjacent to the bus station. This extension opened in September 2023.

Later inspections in June 2016 and November 2021 both rated the school as ‘Good’. History Wolverley CE Secondary School opened in 2007 following the closure of Wolverley High School and a restructuring in the Worcestershire Local Authority. At the same time it converted to a controlled Church of England School. Wolverley was the birthplace of William Sebright, a former Town Clerk of London. Sebright died in 1620 and his will stated that his estate was to be used for the foundation of a grammar school in Wolverley. The original site of the school was in the centre of the village, but in 1931 the school changed its name to Sebright School and moved to a new site. Between 1948 and 1970, Sebright was a private school, before reopening as Wolverley High School. Achievement Percentage of students gaining 5 A*-C grades at GCSE. 2011: 36% 2012: 53% 2013: 48% 2014: 47% 2015: 45% Sports In 2014 the rugby team at Wolverley became The Wolverley Whirlwinds.

Wolverton Manor

Wolverton Manor (also Ulwartone, 11th century; Wolveton, 13th century) is a manor house in Shorwell, on the Isle of Wight, England. The original house was started by John Dingley (d. 1596), Deputy Governor of the Isle of Wight. The Jacobean style home, built by Sir John Hammond after the death of Sir John Dingley, is the second house built on the site. There is a two-storey porch which features a flat roof and hollow angle columns. History Wolverton was held before the Conquest by Eddeva of Earl Godwine, and in 1086 belonged to the king. Robert Glamorgan held it in demesne of Carisbrooke Castle at the end of the 13th century. The Glamorgans, who were also lords of Brook, held Wolverton until the death of Nicholas Glamorgan in 1362–3. Nicholas left sisters and co-heirs, one of whom, Nichola, married Thomas Haket. Eleanor, a second co-heir of Nicholas, married Peter de Veer, and her son John was in 1383 engaged in a suit against John Mortaine and Alice his wife as to the ownership of an eighth of the manor of Wolverton. Peter de Veer seems to have enfeoffed Nichola Glamorgan of the manor, and as John and Alice called to warranty her son Walter Haket it may be assumed that she had transferred her interest to them. The suit was postponed on account of Walter's minority, and John Mortaine seems to have retained possession at least until 1397. Another part of the manor passed with Brook to John Roucle or Rookley, and in 1431 the estate was held jointly by him and John Haket, to whom Mortaine's holding had reverted before 1428. John Haket was said to be in sole possession of the manor in 1438, and it passed with a moiety of Brook to his daughter Joan wife of John Gilbert. Her grandson George Gilbert conveyed the manor in 1565 to Anthony Dillington, who sold it in the same year to John son of Richard Worsley. The manor then followed the descent of Appuldurcombe until 1848, when it was sold to Sir Graham Eden Hamond, whose grandson Sir Graham Eden William Graeme Hamond-Graeme held it by 1912. Present day Still a private home, Wolverton Manor also hosts a Garden Fair, a Blues and Jazz Festival and many classical concerts.

Wolvesey Castle

Wolvesey Castle, også kendt som Old Bishop's Palace, er ruinen af en middelalderbygning i Winchester, Hampshire, England. Den har været en biskops palads og den var kortvarigt befæstet i de senere år under Henrik af Blois, biskop af Winchester. Den første bygning på stedet på en ø i floden Itchen var kendt som Wulveseye eller Wulf's island, blev opført omkring år 970 af Æthelwold of Winchester, biskop af Winchester fra 963 til 984, som hans officielle residens. Winchester blev belejret under oprøret i Winchester i 1141 af Matilde af England i borgerkrigsperioden kendt som anarkiet, og den holdt ud i 3 uger indtil kong Stefans hustru, Matilde kom til undsætning. Henrik, der var brog til Stefan, udvidede paladset og opførte en ringmur, der gav paladset udseende som en borg. Fæstningen blev ødelagt af Henrik 2. efter Henrik af BLois' død i 1171. Paladsen blev brugt til byrllupsmorgenmaden i 1554 oven på ægteskabet mellem dronning Maria og Filip 2. af Spanien. Det blev ødelagt af rundhovederne under den engelske borgerkrig i 1646. Ruinerne ligger ved siden af biskoppens palads, nær Winchester Cathedral, og de bliver ejet og drevet af English Heritage.

Wolvesey Castle

Wolvesey Castle, auch Old Bishop’s Palace genannt, ist eine Burgruine in Winchester in der englischen Grafschaft Hampshire. Sie liegt in der Nähe der Kathedrale. Burg Die Burg wurde auf Geheiß des Bischofs von Winchester, Heinrich von Blois, des Bruders von König Stephan, zwischen 1130 und 1136 auf einer Insel zwischen zwei Armen des River Itchen errichtet. Dort fand auch die Schlacht von Winchester statt, in der Kaiserin Matilda 1141, während der Anarchie, die Burg angriff. Dabei wurde die Burg zum ersten und einzigen Mal belagert. Die Anhänger von Bischof Heinrich aber hielten sie für ihren König Stephan. Die belagerten Verteidiger von Wolvesey Castle brannten mit Feuerkugeln alle Häuser der Stadt nieder, die zu nah an der Burgmauer lagen und den Angreifern Deckung boten. So wurde ein Großteil der alten Stadt Winchester zerstört. Die Truppen der Kaiserin Matilda wurden drei Wochen lang (August–September 1141) in Schach gehalten, bis Stephans Gattin, Mathilda von Boulogne, mit Verstärkung von London eintraf. König Heinrich II. soll Wolvesey Castle nach dem Tod von Bischof Heinrich 1171 geschleift haben. Offensichtlich beinhaltete dies nicht die Zerstörung der Wohnquartiere, da viele spätere Amtsträger der Diözese Winchester dort komfortabel lebten. Allerdings wurden das Tor und das Fallgatter vermutlich entfernt und einige Breschen in die Kurtine geschlagen. Die Burg war einst ein sehr wichtiges Gebäude; am 25. Juli 1554 fand dort der Hochzeitsempfang von Königin Maria I. von England und Philipp II. von Spanien statt. 1646, im englischen Bürgerkrieg, wurde die Burg von den Parlamentaristen zerstört. Die Kapelle ist das einzige nennenswerte Überbleibsel der südlichen Flucht der Burg. Sie ist heute noch in Gebrauch, da sie auch an den Palast angrenzt. Palast Den Palast ließ Bischof Morley 1684 an derselben Stelle nach den Plänen von Christopher Wren errichten. Heute Die ausgedehnten Ruinen werden heute von English Heritage verwaltet. Seit 24. März 1950 sind sie als historisches Bauwerk I. Grades gelistet, ebenso der Palast an derselben Stelle. Ein großer Teil der Kurtine ist erhalten geblieben, aber fast alle Gebäude im Inneren der Burg existieren nicht mehr. Man kann aber noch erkennen, wo einst der Rittersaal stand, von dem ein Rundbogen und ein normannisches Fenster erhalten sind. Einzelnachweise Weblinks
