Erdington Abbey

Erdington Abbey Church (grid reference SP112922) on Sutton Road, Erdington, Birmingham, England, is the more usual name of the grade II listed church of Saints Thomas and Edmund of Canterbury. It is the church of a Roman Catholic parish in the Archdiocese of Birmingham served by the Redemptorists. The abbey itself was the adjacent building, now Highclare School. Erdington Abbey church In 1847 Father Heneage built a chapel in Erdington High Street, on the croft opposite the end of Station Lane. Before this priests from Oscott College had said mass in a house on the High Street, but Catholics in Erdington are mainly indebted to the Rev. Daniel H. Haigh, founder of the Church of SS Thomas & Edmund of Canterbury. He laid the foundation stone of the new church on 26 May 1848. The church was opened and consecrated by Bishop Ullathorne on 11 June 1850. The church is an example of the Gothic Revival. The church was designed by Charles Hansom, who built the steeple of the church 117 ft (36 m) high, which is also the length of the building. The plate was designed by Augustus Pugin and made by Hardman. Abbey In 1876 Father Haigh handed over his church, parish and estate of 4 acres (16,000 m2) to the Benedictine monks from Beuron in Germany, exiled for their faith from their own country during the "Kulturkampf", the anti-Catholic and anti-clerical movement headed by Bismarck. The abbey was built on this land next to the church. Its building is also grade II listed. Roman Catholic Redemptorists The Benedictine monks were later displaced a second time, as a result of problems experienced by the predominantly German Beuronese Congregation during World War I (1914–18). After World War I, during which the community suffered aggravation, it was possible for the community to return to their homeland, and Erdington Abbey was disbanded. The parish came under the control of the Redemptorist order of priests in 1922, and is currently served by Fr. Elias Gweme CSsR - Rector and Parish Priest, Fr. Francis Dickinson CSsR, Fr. Isaac Davies CSsR, and Fr. Royston Price CSsR. Cemetery The attached cemetery contains war graves of three soldiers of World War I and two soldiers and four Royal Air Force personnel of World War II.

Leigh Academy Bexley

Leigh Academy Bexley (formerly Erith Grammar School, Erith School and then King Henry School) is a coeducational bilateral secondary school and sixth form in Erith in the London Borough of Bexley for students aged 11 to 18. It is located just off the A220, Bexley Road. History The predecessor to the current school was founded in the 1890s. Erith School was founded in 1967 via the merger of Northumberland Heath Secondary Modern School and Erith Grammar School. Initially, Erith School was a ten-form entry school catering for students of all abilities. In 1972, it became a bilateral school, the only one in the London Borough of Bexley. Between 1967 and 1997, the school was situated on two sites. The East Building, on Avenue Road, was the old Erith Grammar School, with buildings dating from the 1950s. The West Building, on Brook Street, was built in the 1930s and was the site of the Northumberland Heath Secondary Modern School. In 1979, a "hands off Erith School" campaign successfully allowed the school to retain its status, following the announcement of plans by Bexley Council to either close the school or divide it. Building work started in the spring of 1994 on a new, refurbished £6.5 million single-site school on the Avenue Road site, and was completed by December 1996. It was opened in January 1997, with a new teaching block, sports hall and all-weather astroturf facilities. The old West Building on Brook Street now houses Northumberland Heath Primary School. The school was awarded Specialist School status in 2005, recognising its excellence in PE, Maths and ICT. This was announced in a formal opening by Trevor Brooking. A new Sixth Form block, the David Friend Building, opened in May 2007. Its Community Sports Centre oversees usage during the evenings and weekends by a variety of teams. In October 2010 the school became an Academy. In June 2018, the school was featured in the BBC documentary Grammar Schools: Who Will Get In?. In September 2018, the school changed its name to King Henry School after joining Townley Grammar School to form a multi-academy trust, the Odyssey Trust for Education. In September 2022 King Henry School started working with the Leigh Academies Trust to help address the issues listed within the Ofsted inspection report received earlier that year. In February 2023, it was announced the school would be renamed again to Leigh Academy Bexley, under the management of the Leigh Academies Trust. The school was formally renamed and became part of Leigh Academies Trust in June 2023.

Royal Navy Submarine Museum

Das Royal Navy Submarine Museum (RNSM, kurz Submarine Museum, deutsch „U-Boot-Museum der Königlichen Marine“) in der südenglischen Hafenstadt Gosport (nahe Portsmouth) illustriert anhand von eindrucksvollen Exponaten die internationale Geschichte der Entwicklung der U-Boote, natürlicherweise mit Schwerpunkt auf den Royal Navy Submarine Service, also die U-Boot-Flotte der Royal Navy. Es ist Teil des National Museum of the Royal Navy. Ausstellung Zu den ältesten Original-Schaustücken gehört Holland 1 (Bild), das erste Boot der Holland-Klasse. Benannt ist es nach dem irisch-amerikanischen Ingenieur John Philip Holland (1841–1914). Es wurde 1901 in Dienst gestellt und ging 1913 beim Schleppen zum Abwracken unter. 1982 wurde es gehoben, aufwendig restauriert und im Museum ausgestellt. Ebenso zu sehen ist das einzige noch erhaltene Boot der X-Klasse, nämlich X24 (Bild). Solche Kleinst-U-Boote wurden von der Royal Navy im Zweiten Weltkrieg für Kommandoaktionen eingesetzt, wie beispielsweise die Operation Source, bei der das deutsche Schlachtschiff Tirpitz, im nordnorwegischen Kåfjord liegend, durch Sprengminen schwer beschädigt wurde. Ein erbeutetes deutsches Kleinst-U-Boot vom Typ Biber (Bild) gehört zu den weiteren Glanzstücken des Museums. Es wurde aufwendig restauriert und ist das vermutlich einzige originale U-Boot aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, das voll funktionsfähig ist. Gezeigt wird auch die vergleichsweise riesige Alliance (Bild), ein Hochsee-U-Boot der Amphion-Klasse, das von 1945 bis 1974 in Dienst war. Weblinks Website beim NMRN (englisch), abgerufen am 12.

Castell de Beeston

El castell de Beeston és un antic castell reial situat en una posició elevada (110 m), sobre un cingle gresós sobre del Plana de Cheshire. Es va construir cap al 1220 per Ranulf de Blondeville, 6è Comte de Chester, (1170-1232), en el seu retorn de les croades. El 1237, Enric III va prendre possessió del castell, i es va mantenir en bones condicions fins al segle xvi, quan es va decidir no utilitzar-lo per a usos militars, encara que el 1643 va entrar en servei de nou, durant la Guerra Civil Anglesa. El 1646 el castell es va demolir parcialment, segons l'ordre de destrucció de Cromwell, per prevenir que s'utilitzes com a fortalesa. El segle xviii el lloc s'utilitzava com a pedrera. Es remoreja que el tresor que pertany a Ricard II està enterrat en terres del castell, però moltes recerques que s'han dut a terme no han donat cap senyal que fos així. Els murs de la part externa pati, i els murs, la casa de guarda i el pati interior s'han designat separadament per l'English Heritage com a edificis de Grau I. També és un monument previst. El castell és propietat de l'English Heritage. Referències Bibliografia Fry, Plantagenet Somerset. The David & Charles Book of Castles. David & Charles, 1980. ISBN 0-7153-7976-3.

Beeston Castle

Beeston Castle er en borg i Beeston i Cheshire i England. Den ligger på en sandstensklippetop 107 m over Cheshire Plain. Den blev bygget i 1220'erne af Ranulf de Blondeville, 6. jarl af Chester (1170–1232), efter han var vendt tilbage fra korstog. I 1237 overtog Henrik 3. Beeston, og den blev vedligeholdt og brugt til 1500-tallet, hvor den ikke længere var anvendelig, men den blev alligevel brugt i 1643 under den engelske borgerkrig. I 1646 blev den delvist ødelagt med overlæg, for at den ikke skulle kunne bruges militært. I 1700-tallet blev den brugt som stenbrud. I dag ligger borgen i ruiner. Murene omkring den ydre bailey og omkring portbygningen i den indre bailey er med på National Heritage liste over fredede bygninger af 1. grad. Borgen er også et Scheduled Ancient Monument og ejet af English Heritage. Der går rygter om, at Richard 2.'s skat er på borgen, men selv om mange har søgt, er der aldrig fundet noget.
