Lady St Mary Church, Wareham

The parish church of Lady St. Mary, Wareham is a church of Anglo-Saxon origin in the town of Wareham, Dorset, in England. The church is notable as the possible burial place of King Beorhtric, and for the discovery of five stones with Brittonic inscriptions dating to the 7th to 9th centuries. A notable feature is the unique hexagonal lead font dating to around 1200. The Anglo-Saxon nave was demolished in 1842. History St Aldhelm, who was Bishop of Sherborne around 705, founded a church at Wareham which is probably the church of Lady St. Mary. A nunnery may have been associated with it, but this was destroyed by a Danish raid in 876, before being rebuilt by the daughter of Alfred the Great around 900. The church may also be where Beorhtric, King of Wessex, was buried in 802, and where the body of King Edward the Martyr was brought after he had been murdered at Corfe Castle in 978. In April 2023, a criminal gang use explosives to steal a 450-year-old Elizabethan chalice worth £30,000 from a locked safe in the vestry of Lady St Mary Church. The church On 7 May 1952 the church was officially designated as a Grade I listed building. The church is built of Purbeck limestone and has slate and tile roofs. It has a long chancel and a four-bay nave with two aisles. The south chapel is at a lower level than the rest of the building and at one time had a treasury above. The robust tower is at the west end of the church and is built in four stages, with diagonal buttressing to the lower three. There is a large transomed window at the west end and another at the east end that was installed by Clayton & Bell between 1886 and 1890. The church was founded in the 8th century, with the south chapel dating to the 12th century. Other parts of the building date to the 14th century and the tower probably to the early 16th century. Rectors The first recorded rector of the church was Peter de Deserto (1302–08) who followed Prior Nicholas Bynet (c. 1296). In 1678 the rectory was annexed to that of Holy Trinity, Wareham, and the first rector of both parishes was John Jones.

Ladybellegate House

Ladybellegate House, 20 Longsmith Street, Gloucester GL1 2HT, (National Grid Reference: SO 83003 18556) is a Grade I listed building with Historic England, reference number 1245726. History The building is a town house built around 1704 for Edward Wagstaffe. The house is notable for its fine Rococo plasterwork and carved oak staircase. Robert Raikes junior, founder of Sunday Schools, was born at Ladybellegate House in 1736. He also lived there from 1757 to 1772. From 1740 to 1743, the house was let to Henry Guise of Elmore during which time it was remodelled to include fine moulded panels incorporating the swan crest of the Guise family. Restoration The building was acquired from the Post Office by the Gloucester Civic Trust in 1978. A loan from the Architectural Heritage Fund was combined with a successful fund raising to enable the building to be restored and the house was reopened by Princess Anne in 1979. It was the trust's first major restoration. The building was subsequently sold and the proceeds placed in the Gloucester Historic Buildings Fund, which is run jointly by Gloucester Historic Buildings Ltd and Gloucester City Council. Today the building is used as offices. References Further reading Rogers, M. Ladybellegate House, Gloucester and Robert Raikes. Gloucester: Gloucestershire Record Office, 1975.
Ladykirk and Norham Bridge

The Ladykirk and Norham Bridge connects Ladykirk in the Borders, Scotland, with Norham in Northumberland, England, across the River Tweed. It is one of three bridges that cross the Tweed along the Anglo-Scottish Border, the others being the Coldstream Bridge and the Union Chain Bridge; out of these, the Ladykirk and Norham Bridge is the youngest, opening to the public in 1888. Earlier bridges The previous bridge was a timber trestle built between 1838 and 1839 by J. Blackmore. The bridge was funded by subscribers purchasing shares; David Robertson, 1st Baron Marjoribanks paid £3000, and ten others paid £500 each. This bridge used curved ribs eight planks deep at the ends and three planks deep in the middle, where each individual plank is 6 inches (150 mm) deep. These were used to create two arches, each of 190 feet (58 m) span and 17 feet (5.2 m) rise, each arch was supported by two trusses. The planks were 18 feet (5.5 m) long, and no piece of timber in the bridge was longer than 28 feet (8.5 m). The roadway was 18 feet (5.5 m) wide. The entire bridge was restored in 1852, with the exception of the stone piers. History Construction of the present stone bridge lasted from 1885 to 1887. The bridge is listed at grade II by English Heritage and at category B by Historic Scotland. A former toll house - Lower Toll Cottage and a bridge marker stone sit immediately on the Scottish side. It was designed by Thomas Codrington and Cuthbert Arthur Brereton for the Tweed Bridges Trust. Design It is a late stone road arch bridge with four spans. The two middle arches are of 90 feet (27 m) span, and the outer two of 85 feet (26 m) span, and the width of the roadway between the parapets is 14 feet (4.3 m). The outer piers have triangular cutwaters, but the central pier has a curved cutwater that continues up to the height of the road, with a break in the parapet to create a refuge for pedestrians. The bridge uses dressed-stone for the arch rings, and has coursed-rubble spandrels and wing walls. It is built from red sandstone, and faced with ashlar dressings. The spandrels are hollow to reduce the load on the arches, an innovation by Thomas Telford. The bridge carries the B6470 public road between the villages of Ladykirk in Scotland and Norham in England. It is just downstream from Canny Island, a river island in the Tweed.

Ladypool Primary School

Ladypool Primary School (formerly Stratford Road School) is a 3–11 mixed, community primary school in Sparkbrook, Birmingham, West Midlands, England. It is a Grade II* listed building, and stands next to St Agatha's Church. History It was built as Stratford Road School in 1885 by architects Martin & Chamberlain as a Birmingham board school, one of around forty schools built by that firm in an innovative style as a result of the Elementary Education Act 1870. The school was extensively damaged by the Birmingham tornado on 28 July 2005 and lost its distinctive Martin & Chamberlain tower. The school proposed building a replica of the tower. On 26 October 2006, Birmingham City Council Planning Department decided that the planning application should be referred to the Department for Communities and Local Government.

Central Gurdwara (Khalsa Jatha) London

The Khalsa Jatha British Isles is a Sikh place of worship in the Holland Park area of London. The gurdwara was established in 1908, and affiliated to Chief Khalsa Dewan of Amritsar. From 1913 to 1969 congregations were held at 79 Sinclair Road, West Kensington. The present building was established in 1969 onwards at Queensdale Road. The building was later refurbished by Virdee Foundation. The Gurdwara is the oldest in both the United Kingdom and the continent of Europe. It maintains tradition practices of the Khalsa such as hoisting a Nishan Sahib (Sikh flag) with the original symbol of the Khalsa instead of a modern Khanda - it also maintains relations with the Nihang Dal, the oldest and most established order of Sikhism. Budha Dal, the most mainstream Nihang faction, are enlisted by the Gurdwara to conduct its Amrit Sanchars (the Sikh initiation ceremony). References

Royal Festival Hall

La Royal Festival Hall és una sala de concerts de 2.500 localitats del Southbank Centre de Londres. Està situada a la riba sud del riu Tàmesi, no lluny del pont de Hungerford. Es tracta d'un edifici construït en la postguerra, el primer a ser catalogat com a protegit (el 1981). L'Orquestra Filharmònica de Londres, l'Orquestra Philharmonia i l'Orquestra de l'Age of Enlightenment són orquestres residents a la sala. Va ser l'espai on es va estrenar, entre altres obres, la Simfonia núm. 3 "Collages" el 1961, composta per Robert Gerhard. La sala va ser construïda com a part del Festival de Gran Bretanya pel London County Council, i va ser oficialment oberta el 3 de maig de 1951. Quan el London County Council va ser substituït pel Greater London Council, va ser abolit dins 1986, la Sala de Festival va passar sota el control del Consell de les Arts, i va ser dirigida juntament amb la Queen Elizabeth Hall, la Purcell Room (oberta el 1967) i la Hayward Gallery (1968), esdevenint una organització d'arts independent, ara coneguda com el Southbank Centre, des d'abril 1988. El complex inclou diverses sales per recepcions, bars i restaurants, i el Clore Ballroom, que pot acomodar fins a 440 comensals asseguts. Un gran bust del cap i les espatlles de Nelson Mandela (creat per Ian Walters el 1985) s'ubica en el passadís que enllaça la sala i l'accés al pont de Hungerford. Originalment fet de fibra de vidre, va ser repetidament vandalitzat fins fins que es va refer en bronze. La varietat d'espais oberts i vestíbuls del complex són populars per a reunions socials o laborals, tot i que hi ha hagut crítiques perquè també atreuen a persones sense llar a la recerca de refugi durant el dia, sobretot en els mesos més freds. Les estacions de metro més properes són Waterloo i, a través del riu via el pont del Jubilee, les estacions d'Embankment i Charing Cross.

Royal Festival Hall

Royal Festival Hall je koncertní a taneční sál v rámci kulturního centra South Bank Centre v Londýně. Nachází se na Belvedere Road, na nábřeží Temže nedaleko Hungerford Bridge. Možnost spojení do haly veřejnou londýnskou dopravou je metro do stanice Waterloo. Historie Základní kámen haly položil premiér Clement Attlee roku 1949, na místě kde původně stál pivovar. Jednalo se o příspěvek London County Council pro Britský festival a oficiálně byla otevřena 3. května 1951. Royal Festival Hall je postavena v modernistickém stylu. Autory návrhu byli architekti Leslie Martin, Peter Moro a Robert Matthew z LCC's Architects' Department. Martinovi bylo v době, kdy byl jmenován hlavním architektem této stavby, 39 let. Sám používal pro tuto budovu termín vajíčko v krabici – vystihující spojení oválného sálu s okolními hranatými budovami. Budova byla drobně upravena roku 1964 dostavbou foyerů a teras na straně obrácené směrem k řece a přístavbou šaten. Později byly v okolí dostavěny další budovy, jež tvoří součást South Bank Centre – Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room a Hayward Gallery. Od konce 80. let 20. století bylo foyer budovy přístupné během dne i když se zde nekonalo žádné představení. V letech 2005–2007 probíhala v Royal Festival Hall rekonstrukce, která vylepšila akustické vlastnosti a flexibilitu použití sálu. Byly také renovovány veřejně vstupní prostory a kavárny. Na straně k řece byla dobudována řada sedmi obchodních a stravovacích zařízení. Externí odkazy Obrázky, zvuky či videa k tématu Royal Festival Hall na Wikimedia Commons Oficiální stránky
Royal Festival Hall

Royal Festival Hall er en koncertsal, dansesal og foredragscenter i Southbank Centre i London. Det ligger på South Bank ved Themsen, ikke langt fra Hungerford Bridge. Bygningen er fredet (Grade I); den blev i april 1988 den første efterkrigsbygning som fik denne status. Grundstenen blev lagt af daværende premierminister Clement Attlee i 1949, på stedet hvor Lion Brewery havde stået siden 1837. Den blev bygget af Londons grevskabsråd i forbindelse med Festival of Britain, og blev officielt åbnet 3. maj 1951. Designen er modernistisk, og hovedarkitekten Hugh Casson valgte kun at bruge unge arkitekter på projektet. Leslie Martin, Peter Moro og Robert Matthew fra LCC lavede tegningerne. I 1964 blev bygningen kraftigt ændret ved at indgangshaller og terrasser blev lagt til mod floden, og flere omklædningsrum blev lagt til på bagsiden. Dette ændrede stilen fra skandinavisk modernisme til en renere stil med hårdere linjer. Det oprindelige indgangsparti blev meget forandret. Siden 1980'erne har indgangssalen været åben for publikum også når der ikke er koncerter. Det er blevet et af de mest populære offentlige rum i London, med god beskyttelse mod det britiske regnvejr. Der er 2900 pladser i selve salen, og i tillæg 917 i Queen Elizabeth Hall og 370 i Purcell Room.

Royal Festival Hall

De Royal Festival Hall is een concert-, dans- en bijeenkomstcentrum in de Engelse hoofdstad Londen. Het gebouw is onderdeel van het Southbank Centre en ligt aan de South Bank, aan de zuidoever van de Theems, tussen Waterloo Bridge en Hungerford Bridge. De dichtstbijzijnde metrostations zijn Waterloo en Embankment. Het gebouw is het eerste van na de Tweede Wereldoorlog dat op de monumentenlijst staat. Geschiedenis De Royal Festival Hall werd in opdracht van de London County Council gebouwd als onderdeel van het Festival of Britain, naar een ontwerp van architectenbureau Holland, Hannen & Cubitts. De eerste steen werd in 1949 gelegd door Clement Attlee, de toenmalige premier, op de locatie van de voormalige Lion Brewery. Het originele plan was dat Arturo Toscanini het openingsconcert zou verzorgen, maar hij was onwel. Daarom namen Sir Malcolm Sargent en Sir Adrian Boult het concert voor hun rekening. De Hall werd officieel geopend op 3 mei 1951. In 1960 was de Hall het toneel voor het Eurovisiesongfestival. Het gebouw onderging in 1964 een verandering, waarbij extra foyers en terrassen werden aangelegd aan de rivierkant, en extra kleedkamers aan de achterkant. Toen in 1986 de Greater London Council (de opvolger van London County Council) werd opgeheven, werd de Festival Hall overgenomen door het Southbank Centre. Het gebouw onderging een grote renovatie tussen 2005 en 2007, geleid door Allies and Morrison. De renovatie was vooral bedoeld om de akoestiek van de zalen te verbeteren. De zaal werd daarna de thuishaven van het London Philharmonic Orchestra en het Philharmonia Orchestra.
