Stubbers

Stubbers was a stately home in North Ockendon, Essex, England. The house was demolished in 1955 and the grounds became the Stubbers Activity Centre in 2011. History The earliest reference to the estate subsequently known as Stubbers was in 1334. The name comes from William Stubber who owned the house in the 15th century. In the early 17th century it was the home of William Coys, a well known botanist, who established a walled garden that subsequently provided plants for the establishment of Kew Gardens. The garden contained 342 plant species and in 1604 a yucca plant bloomed there, for the first time in England. In the book Early English Botanists Coys is attributed with compiling a list of his plants for John Goodyer of Hampshire, this being described as the oldest known list of plants from an English garden giving their scientific names. In 1689, the estate was bought by Sir William Russell, a London draper who included King Charles II among his acquaintances. Stubbers remained in the Russell family for nearly 300 years, and Humphry Repton was commissioned to suggest how the gardens could be landscaped for which he produced a "Red Book". On Repton's advice, the Coys garden was removed. Writing in 1951, before the house was demolished, Glynn Morgan described the southern facade as "attractive". To the east of the house was a dovecote with 662 nesting boxes. Current usage The house was demolished in 1955 and the grounds are now the site of an activity centre. A walled garden survives from the house, but its date is not known. In August 2011, it was announced that Havering Council had agreed to sell the land to the activity centre. Notes

Studley Priory, Oxfordshire

Studley Priory was a small house of Benedictine nuns, ruled by a prioress, in Oxfordshire. Founding Studley Priory was founded some time before 1176 in the hamlet of Studley in what is now the village of Horton-cum-Studley, 7 miles (11 km) northeast of Oxford in Oxfordshire, England, at 1 Horton Hill Road. In 1176, the priory received a grant from Bernard of St. Walery. The nuns were unhappy to be served poor beef and new beer on Thursday and Sunday nights, and no mutton. The priory was declared closed by 1536, but appears to have experienced a brief revival before its suppression in 1539. The priory lands were sold to the Croke family. The family built the house now known as Studley Priory, which still stands in its 10 acres (4.0 ha) of grounds, in 1587; a member of the Croke family was a judge in the 1649 trial of Charles I. Modern era The house and its estate (which comprised most of the village of Horton-cum-Studley) was owned by the Croke family until around 1870 when it was sold to the Henderson family, who occupied it until World War II. During the war, it was a sanatorium for Royal Air Force officers. In 1947 the priory was leased by Raymond and Tessa Bawtree, who (with their partner, Wilma Hessey) ran it as a country-house hotel for the next 14 years. During that time, many eminent guests stayed there (including Adrian Boult, Gilbert Murray, Beverley Nichols and Sandy Wilson; it was a favourite hostelry of C.S. Lewis, who came regularly for a Sunday-morning beer after church and in later years stayed there with his wife Joy. The Bawtrees did not renew their lease in 1961; that year the Hendersons auctioned off their estate, including the priory. The priory was bought by the Parke family, who continued to run it as a hotel until 2004 when the business was placed in receivership due to mounting financial losses. The business failed to find a buyer and the Priory was sold for reconversion to a private house. Notoriety The monastery is mentioned in the historical novel Blanket In The Dark by John Buchan who lived at nearby Elsfield. It was used as a filming location for the exterior of Sir Thomas More's Chelsea home in the 1966 version of Robert Bolt's A Man for All Seasons (interior shots were done in a studio, not at Studley Priory).

Stumperlowe Cottage

Stumperlowe Cottage is a Grade II listed building situated on Stumperlowe Hall Road in the suburb of Fulwood in Sheffield, England. It was originally a cottage with an attached barn but has now been converted into one long residential building. History It is difficult to determine the exact age of Stumperlowe Cottage, various sources give conflicting dates for its construction and it is possible that the cottage and the cruck barn were constructed at different times. Local historian Bessie Bunker, author of the book “Cruck Buildings” states that the ancient cruck building dates from around 1400. Bunker considered the cottage to be the original Stumperlowe Hall, and was later downgraded to become a labourers cottage and attached barn when the new hall was built in the 1650s by Robert Hall. In the 15th century the cottage stood in a completely rural situation with the ancient track between Ecclesall and Hallam Head passing in front of the building, however this was built over in Victorian times as was the farms extensive lands. Modern times The cottage was in a ruinous state in 1968 when the last resident of the old building moved out (photograph on Picture Sheffield), the barn had lost its roof and the cruck timbers were open to the elements, the walls were held up by wooden props. Demolition of the ancient cottage seemed certain, however it was saved and protected when it was made a Grade II listed building in September 1970. The cottage was eventually purchased by Mr. & Mrs. D. Millar who were living next door, the Millars took seven years to renovate the building and moved in at Christmas 1993. Architecture During the restoration the barns walls were completely rebuilt in coursed rubble while the cottage section at the western end was rendered and colourwashed. The remaining four cruck frames are still in place and can be seen internally. The barn is a now a large open plan living space. There is a continuous stone slate roof to the whole building, a 19th-century through-eaves box dormer window was removed from the cottage front during restoration. References
Stumperlowe Hall

Stumperlowe Hall is an English Manor House situated in the city of Sheffield, England. It is located on Stumperlowe Hall Road, in the suburb of Fulwood. The hall is a Grade II listed building. History The present day house dates from 1854, a previous hall was built on the same site in the 1650s by Robert Hall, a descendant of the Mitchells, an ancient Hallamshire family who had held land in the Stumperlowe area since the end of the 14th century. Robert Hall and his wife Dorothy lived at Stumperlowe Hall for over fifty years, the couple had a son Henry Hall who also resided at the hall for a time. By 1716 the grandchildren of Robert Hall had to surrender the house by order of the Sheffield Manor Court and it was purchased by Daniel Gascoigne of Sheffield, an apothecary and John Hawksworth, a lead merchant. The hall was the residence and estate of Mr. Hawksworth and his family for most of the remaining years of the 18th century. The hall was completely transformed in 1854 when it came into the possession of Henry Isaac Dixon (1820-1912) of Page Hall. Dixon was part owner of the Britannia metal manufacturing company James Dixon & Sons of Cornish Place. Dixon rebuilt and extended the hall in a subtle and sensitive style, introducing more light into the house by replacing the original mullioned windows with larger areas of glass. Dixon was also a generous patron of the Fulwood area providing money for tree planting and for the expansion of Christ Church on Canterbury Avenue. Henry Isaac Dixon died in 1912 and his son James Dixon (1851-1947) moved into the hall, James Dixon had taken over the running of the family firm in 1877 and was elected as one of the youngest ever Master Cutlers in 1887 at the age of 36. He moved out of Stumperlowe Hall in 1924, at the age of 73, although he lived until he was 96 years old. After the Dixons, the hall was home for several families. In 1957 the hall was purchased by Lady Kenning, widow of Sir George Kenning, who had made a fortune by car sales and distribution through his firm now known as the GK Group. Lady Kenning died in 1974 and the hall has remained a family home since. The hall was for sale in September 2015 at a price of £2.25 million. Architecture The hall is constructed in the Tudor Revival style from coursed squared stone with ashlars dressing with a stone slate roof. The windows are mainly wood mullioned casements with label moulds. There is a small square porch with Tudor arch at the front door. The western side has a square two storey stone bay window. The interior features a 40 foot long reception hall with vaulted ceiling, the reception lounge has a ceiling which extends to the full height of the building, the dining room is oak panelled. The 2.5 acre grounds include a three bedroom lodge. References
Sturgeons House

Sturgeons House is a Grade II listed country estate located west of the small village of Writtle in Essex, England. At its height, the estate comprised around 500 acres (2,000,000 m2). However, it currently holds only around 6 acres (24,000 m2) of ground. The house is currently under renovation, including an extension to the rear of the property. The house, along with the surrounding barns, is an example of an early model farm. History There has been human settlement at the site since 1280, when William Turgis established a farm there. The name 'Sturgeons' derived from the Turgis family-name. The location was chosen upon the discovery of a natural spring in the area. The current house was built in the 1830s in the Georgian style. It was built for William Addy, who spent the greater part of his fortune on the project. Due to ill health, he moved from the property soon after it was finished. The Blythe family then came to own the house and surrounding farmland for almost a hundred years. In the mid 19th century, Sturgeons farm became a leading model farm. The farm's owners researched and demonstrated improvements in agricultural techniques, efficiency, and building layout. Education, and commitment to improving welfare standards of workers were also aspects of the ideal farm movement. The farm buildings were designed to be beautiful as well as utilitarian - inspired by the ideals of the Enlightenment. In the 1930s, Sturgeons farm (including Sturgeons House) was acquired by Writtle College. In recent times, the house has been the home of the Principal of Writtle College. In 2007 the college sold the property as part of its restructuring and modernisation programme. Sturgeons Farm is still retained by the college. Wildlife The area is rich in local wildlife. There are small badger and fox populations, along with Reeves's muntjac; moorhens; pheasants; hares and rabbits. There are also numerous oak, yew and willow trees. Roman villa speculation Excavation work in fields to the rear of the house has resulted in Roman pottery and metalware being discovered. Speculation that a Roman villa once existed on the site has yet to be verified. References Susanna Wade Martins.

U-475 Black Widow

U-475 Black Widow ist ein ehemaliges U-Boot der sowjetischen Marine, das sich heute in englischem Privatbesitz befindet. Hintergrund Das Boot gehört zur sogenannten Foxtrot-Klasse. Dies ist die (NATO-)Bezeichnung für eine Baureihe sowjetischer dieselelektrischer U-Boote. Nicht zuletzt aufgrund der besonderen Zuverlässigkeit der Klasse wurde Projekt 641, wie sie in der UdSSR genannt wurde, zu einem Exportschlager und in einige Staaten außerhalb der Sowjetunion verkauft. Geschichte Das Black Widow wurde – unter dem eigentlichen Namen B-49 – in der Leningrader Sudomekh Werft gebaut und 1967 in Dienst gestellt. Bis 1974 war das Boot Bestandteil der Nordmeerflotte. Ab 1974 war es in Riga stationiert und diente (unter Kapitän Vitalij Burda) in der Baltischen Flotte, bevor es als Ausbildungsschiff für ausländische Mannschaften fungierte, die die Boote der Foxtrot-Klasse für ihre Marine erwerben wollten. 1994 wurde B-49 außer Dienst gestellt und für 100.000 Dollar an einen englischen Geschäftsmann verkauft. Museumsschiff Nachdem das Schiff in private Hände gekommen war, wurde es unter dem Namen „U-475 Black Widow“ an der Long’s Wharf nahe der Thames Barrier festgemacht, wo es der Öffentlichkeit als Museumsschiff zugänglich gemacht wurde. 1998 wurde es nach Folkestone versetzt und diente dort demselben Zweck. 2004 wurde es abermals versetzt, diesmal zu seiner heutigen Position im River Medway zwischen den Orten Strood und Rochester in der Grafschaft Kent. Der Zustand des U-Boots ist desolat, es liegt schief im Wasser und hat sichtbare offene Stellen in der rostigen Verkleidung. Es ist seit der Versetzung geplant, es zu restaurieren. Filmkulisse 2014 wurde der Film Black Sea (Regie: Kevin Macdonald) mit Jude Law in der Hauptrolle gedreht, ein fiktives Drama über eine (missglückte) Bergung von Nazigold mithilfe eines U-Boots. Die Innenaufnahmen (und eine Totale von außen) entstanden auf U-475. Namensgebung Der ursprüngliche Bezeichnung dieses Bootes war B-49. Das B steht für Bolshaya (russisch für: Groß). Der neue Eigentümer taufte es willkürlich auf „Foxtrot B-39 U-475 Black Widow“. Der erste Teil sollte an die Bedeutung des Kriegsschiffs im Kalten Krieg erinnern, entfiel aber in späteren Namensnennungen. Ein U-Boot der Foxtrot-Klasse mit der Bezeichnung B-39 existiert aber tatsächlich und liegt als Museumsschiff in San Diego (USA). Die Benennung „U-475 Black Widow“ ist hingegen ein Einfall des englischen Käufers, da sowjetische Unterwassereinheiten der Foxtrot-Klasse weder eine U-Nummerierung besaßen noch eine Nummer -475 existiert, ebenso wenig wie Eigennamen.
