Lainston House

Lainston House is a 17th-century country house hotel near Sparsholt, Hampshire in the south of England. It is operated by the Exclusive Hotels chain. It is a Grade II* listed building. History Lainston House is notable for several reasons in its history. Commissioned by Charles II to build a palace at Winchester, renowned English architect Sir Christopher Wren may have started work on the site in 1683 by building on the grounds of an earlier medieval dwelling. It became known as the home of Charles and his mistress Louise de Keroualle before he died in 1685. In August 1744 Elizabeth Chudleigh and Augustus Hervey were secretly married in Lainston House's private chapel, causing a society scandal. Maintaining privacy about the ceremony lest their employment be endangered, their union did not last and Elizabeth went on to marry Evelyn Pierrepont, 2nd Duke of Kingston-upon-Hull. The validity of the ceremony held at Lainston House's chapel became the focal point of bigamy charges and legal proceedings against Elizabeth which pursued her until her death in 1788. Lainston House's tree-lined grounds also contain the longest line of limes in England (9/10ths of a mile), some of which were planted in 1716. The trees were planted in the grounds after the influence of gardener and diarist Sir John Evelyn. Lainston House and its parkland was sold off from private ownership in the 1980s, and currently operates as a luxury 5 star hotel. Dominic Johnson, Baron Johnson of Lainston took his title from the building which was his mother's family home. References External links Official website

Lake Lothing

Lake Lothing is a saltwater lake located in Lowestoft in the English county of Suffolk. The lake, which is believed to be the remnant of medieval peat cutting, flows into the North Sea and forms part of the Port of Lowestoft. The area was the major industrial centre of Lowestoft with ship building and other engineering industries, much of which has now closed. The lake splits Lowestoft in two. It is bridged in the centre of town by a bascule bridge and in Oulton Broad by a vertical lift bridge and a rail swing bridge. Since September 2024, a new lifting road bridge, Lowestoft Gull Wing, is bridging the lake towards the middle. Mutford lock connects Lake Lothing to Oulton Broad from where access to the River Waveney and the Broads system is gained through Oulton Dyke. References

Lakeland Wildlife Oasis

The Lakeland Wildlife Oasis is a small zoological collection near the town of Milnthorpe, Cumbria, England, with a science and evolution theme. Since April 2012 the zoo has been run by the registered charity Lakeland Trust for Natural Sciences. History The zoo first opened to the public on 14 April 1992 as a "part-zoo, part-museum". It featured a butterfly hall, aquarium and tropical hall which were home to common marmosets, brown rats, fish, amphibians, reptiles and invertebrates. The zoo expanded over the years and, in 2011, acquired its first snow leopard, a male named Pavan, for which it had built an enclosure with a perspex walk-through tunnel, reportedly the UK's first walk-through big cat exhibit. Pavan was soon followed by a female named Tara. These produced two young during 2014, which were named Loki and Luna, the first successful snow leopard breeding recorded in the North of England. In 2015, the zoo closed to the public after it was hit by severe flooding during Storm Desmond. Many animals were able to reach raised areas, whilst others, including pheasants and Azara's agoutis, were moved to safety. With a lack of visitor revenue, the zoo turned to crowdfunding for donations with the money to be used for repairing damage and upgrading the flood proofing of animal enclosures. Overview The 3-acre (1.2 ha) centre is divided into several sections, including a butterfly house, tropical hall and aquarium, as well as outdoor enclosures. Its layout is designed to take visitors on an evolutionary journey, beginning with marine life, amphibians, reptiles, birds and then mammals. Over 100 species are on display, including fossa, snow leopards, fruit bats, meerkats, armadillos, red squirrels, lemurs, marmosets, roul-rouls and black curassows. The centre hosts "animal interctives" and Keeper for the Day opportunities with some of these animals for an additional fee. As a member of BIAZA and through cooperation with European zoos, the centre has participated in breeding programs for several endangered species, including snow leopards, fossa, Rodrigues fruit bats and primates. Additionally, the centre has also contributed to overseas conservation projects, such as the Mountain Marmoset Conservation Programme, Money for Madagascar and the Snow Leopard Trust. The main entrance features a gift shop and allows access to a café, named the Wild Café, which can be accessed with or without a zoo ticket.

Lakenheath Fen RSPB reserve

Lakenheath Fen RSPB reserve is located on the Norfolk/Suffolk border in England, between Lakenheath and Hockwold cum Wilton adjacent to Lakenheath railway station. This reserve forms part of a network of Fenland nature reserves close by, which include Wicken Fen, Chippenham Fen and Woodwalton Fen. History Until 1995, when purchased by the RSPB, the land now forming the reserve was heavily farmed arable land. Since then, the 740-acre (3.0 km2) site has been turned back into the reed beds and grazing marshes that would once have been common in the area. To achieve this, over 2 km of ditches were re-shaped with shallow sloping sides so as to encourage reed growth and to provide feeding areas. This was primarily to attract Eurasian bitterns to breed at the reserve, which were close to extinction in the UK at the time. A number of sluices were installed to enable water levels to be controlled. In addition to the existing ditches, over 4 km of water channels were dug to re-circulate water around the site. Fauna Despite being created fairly recently, Lakenheath Fen is a haven for wildlife, and the number of birds seen at the reserve has increased significantly. The number of Eurasian reed warblers rose from four pairs in 1995 to 355 pairs in 2002. Reed buntings have increased from 6 to 87 pairs during the same period. Two pairs of western marsh harriers nested for the first time in newly created reed in 2002. Great crested grebes and little grebes are breeding on the meres, and water rails have nested in the new reeds. Bearded tits have stayed on the reserve throughout the winter, as have bitterns, along with a whooper swan roost. Common cranes have been found to be breeding at the fen for what is believed to be the first time in 400 years.Bewick's swan, short-eared owl, merlin and hen harrier have also been known to appear at Lakenheath Fen. RSPB Lakenheath Fen is home to a significant proportion of Great Britain's sightings of the Eurasian golden oriole. Though not resident, Eurasian golden orioles are recorded as summer passage migrants in Great Britain, and occur in small numbers on the South Coast of England and in East Anglia, with an average of 85 birds recorded annually. Eurasian golden orioles favour RSPB Lakenheath Fen and the surrounding Fenland in East Anglia due to the large number of poplar plantations. In summer, there is a wide variety of butterflies, dragonflies and moths. References External links RSPB Lakenheath Fen page The Bittern project

Lakeside Country Park

Lakeside Country Park is a country park just south of the town of Eastleigh in Hampshire. The park covers 60 acres and is home to the Eastleigh Lakeside Steam Railway. The park is on the site of old gravel workings, with lakes formed from gravel pits. As well as the lakes themselves, the park boasts meadows and some young woodland. The park is bounded by the Eastleigh urban area to the north, the A335 road to the east, the boundary between Eastleigh and Southampton to the south, and Monks Brook to the west. Eastleigh Lakeside Railway A dual gauge 10+1⁄4 in (260 mm) / 7+1⁄4 in (184 mm) light railway was established in the park in 1992, originally as a temporary layout. A more permanent track was laid down in 1993, as the railway company was granted a three-year lease. Five years later, a longer lease was negotiated and construction began on the two stations, Eastleigh Parkway and Monks Brook. They were opened in 1999, although further work on the layout itself was carried out in 2000. A tunnel was added in 2003, and Eastleigh Parkway station was extended in 2005 with the addition of a café and shop. Water sports centre In 2014 funding was approved towards the replacement of the lakeside buildings with two new buildings with improved toilets and changing facilities, storage, offices and a multi-purpose function room. The estimated cost of the scheme is £2.5 million, of which £1 million had been allocated from the New Homes Bonus and £371,000 from the Eastleigh Local Area Committee. The new buildings were completed in late 2016. Open water swimming clubs have been run from the venue since at least 2010, and, as of 2017, swimming sessions are currently operated by HOWL Multisports.

Lakeview College

Lakeview College was a sixth-form located in Chilwell, Nottingham. It was located on the same campus as Chilwell School and Chilwell Olympia. It had approximately 250 students, mainly studying for AS and A2 level exams, though other courses were taken. Once used as part of Chilwell School, it was opened as a sixth-form college in 1984. It was initially fed by students from Chilwell School, Alderman White and George Spencer, although there were many students from the neighbouring areas of Bramcote and Stapleford. As part of Chilwell School's 2006 Ofsted inspection, the college was rated as "good". In September 2006, Chilwell School governors decided that Lakeview College would be entirely managed and taught by Chilwell School staff from September 2008. Alderman White was also due to pull out by this date due to the school entering The White Hills Park Federation Trust, which would have its own sixth-form centre. George Spencer had established its own sixth-form centre in 2004.
