Chequers

Chequers (o Chequers Court) è una casa di campagna inglese a Ellesborough, ai piedi delle Chilterns, nella contea del Buckinghamshire; viene impiegata come residenza di campagna del Primo Ministro del Regno Unito. Storia La residenza risale al XVI secolo ed è stata proprietà di diverse famiglie aristocratiche. Nel 1912 fu acquistata dal futuro visconte Arthur Lee (all'epoca membro del Parlamento britannico nella Camera bassa, divenuto barone nel 1918 e visconte nel 1922). Durante la Prima guerra mondiale ospitò un ospedale militare e in seguito una casa di convalescenza per ufficiali. Per permettere al premier britannico di avere sempre una casa di campagna adeguata (prima i premiers avevano in genere una propria grande residenza) i coniugi Lee diedero la proprietà come sede "in perpetuo" del Primo Ministro (all'epoca David Lloyd George), fu così donata allo Stato secondo il Chequers Estate Act 1917, legge importante perché è la prima legge britannica in assoluto a menzionare la figura del Primo Ministro (il ruolo e i suoi compiti verranno poi istituzionalizzati solo con il Ministers of the Crown Act 1937). Da Chequers prende il nome il Piano di Chequers, il documento che mirava a porre le basi per i futuri rapporti tra Regno Unito ed Unione europea in seguito alla Brexit. Altre residenze Dorneywood (Buckinghamshire): il Primo Ministro decide quale Ministro o Segretario di Stato potrà usare questa residenza di campagna. Nelle precedenti amministrazioni è stata nella disponibilità del Cancelliere dello Scacchiere. Donata al governo per tale scopo nel 1947 da Lord Courtauld-Thomson. Chevening (Kent): il Primo Ministro decide chi potrà usare questa residenza di campagna. Questa persona può essere il Primo Ministro stesso, un ministro membro del Gabinetto, un discendente diretto di re Giorgio VI del Regno Unito oppure, nell'improbabile caso che non venga affidata a nessuno di questi, l'Alto Commissario canadese o l'Ambasciatore americano. Di solito è affidata al Segretario di Stato per gli affari esteri e del Commonwealth. Donata nel 1959 da James Stanhope, settimo Conte Stanhope e tredicesimo Conte di Chesterfield (ultimo della sua famiglia).

Cavallo Bianco di Cherhill

Il Cavallo Bianco di Cherhill (in inglese Cherhill White Horse o anche Oldbury White Horse) è la figura stilzzata di cavallo che si trova sul pendio di una collina nel territorio di Cherhill, parrocchia civile nel Wiltshire, Inghilterra. Il geoglifo è descritto dal National Trust, risale alla fine del XVIII secolo ed è la seconda più antica delle iconiche figure di cavalli sul terreno del Wiltshire. Storia Il cavallo bianco di Cherhill, indicato anche come cavallo bianco di Oldbury, è uno degli otto cavalli bianchi rimasti nel Wiltshire. Storicamente, nel Wiltshire, ci sono stati 13 cavalli bianchi scolpiti nel gesso che si trova naturalmente negli strati superficiali del terreno, ma ora ne rimangono solo otto. Queste figure sono state realizzate eliminando il manto erboso dalle colline per esporre il gesso bianco sottostante, creando così figure molto ben definite e visibili per miglia intorno, alcune di queste risalenti fino ad epoche preistoriche. Questa è la seconda più antica delle figure di cavalli nel Wiltshire, intagliata sulla collina nel 1780, è stata probabilmente ispirata dal cavallo bianco più antico del Wiltshire a Westbury. A sua volta, il cavallo di Cherhill ha ispirato il design del cavallo bianco di Alton Barnes. Descrizione Il cavallo Bianco di Cherhill si trova a sud della A4, a circa 3 miglia a est di Calne, vicino al villaggio di Cherhill. Con Calstone e Cherhill Downs costituisce un sito biologico di speciale interesse scientifico di 128,6 ettari nel Wiltshire, notificato nel 1971. Il cavallo è una figura collinare su Cherhill Down. Il geoglifo si trova sul pendio di un'altura dove è stato messo allo scoperto il sottostante strato di gesso bianco. Vicino ci sono sia il castello di Oldbury sia il monumento di Lansdowne. Questa scultura sul terreno deve essere mantenuta con una manutenzione regolare svolta da un gruppo di volontari. Il sito del Cherhill White Horse è di proprietà del National Trust ed è aperto al pubblico per le visite ma non è possibile camminare sul monumento di gesso, per motivi di conservazione. Il sito si trova sul percorso denominato White Horse Trail, da fare a piedi su una distanza di 94 miglia, che comprende tutti gli otto cavalli bianchi del Wiltshire. Di interesse notevole la Cherhill Down sulla quale si trova la scultura con la fortezza collinare dell'età del ferro (o proabilmente anche del bronzo) e il suo obelisco che si affacciano sul Calstone Coombes.

Glendorgal Hotel

The Glendorgal Hotel is in Newquay, Cornwall overlooking Porth Beach. History The Glendorgal Hotel started as a seaside retreat in a cottage orné style, built by Francis Rodd IV of Trebartha in 1850. It was sold to Arthur Pendarves Vivian who later bought a large swathe of Porth Beach and Trevelgue Head to go with the house. Following a dispute with the architect Silvanus Trevail, who was planning a large new housing estate at Porth. Vivian sold the house to the sitting tenant Sir Richard Trevithick Tangye in 1882, and it became the seat of the Tangye Baronetcy in 1912. They changed its setting, making its grounds an 'integral' and 'picturesque' part of the wider setting of the house. After 1950 the house was converted into a seasonal hotel and restaurant. The original building was surrounded and partly over-built with later 20th century additions and its internal spaces reordered. In 1911 Glendorgal was visited by two royal Princes; Edward (Edward VIII) and Albert (George VI). In 1918 the First World War came very close to the Glendorgal and tea parties were held on the veranda for injured soldiers. In 1950 Sir Richard Tangye's grandson, Nigel Tangye came into sole possession of the property and, with his wife Lady Marguerite Tangye, opened it as a summer season hotel and restaurant in 1950.

Chertsey Bridge

Chertsey Bridge ist eine Straßenbrücke über die Themse in England und verbindet Chertsey, Surrey mit niedrig gelegenen Viehweiden in Shepperton, Middlesex. Sie liegt stromabwärts der Autobahnbrücke der M3 und in Sichtweite der Schleuse Chertsey Lock. Unterhalb der Chertsey Bridge folgt die Schleuse Shepperton Lock. Die siebenbogige Brücke aus weißem Naturstein wurde von James Paine entworfen und von 1783 bis 1785 erbaut; sie wurde von English Heritage im Grade–II* als Baudenkmal gelistet. Sie gilt als eine der schönsten Themsebrücken, vergleichbar der Richmond Bridge und Maidenhead Railway Bridge. Stromauf auf dem Ostufer ist Laleham Park und auf der westlichen, nach Chertsey gelegenen Seite, ist Abbey Chase House zu finden. Am südöstlichen Brückenkopf befindet sich ein gusseiserner Pfeiler mit Fries und Kapitell aus dem 19. Jahrhundert, ein Coal Tax Post mit vorne angebrachtem Wappen der City of London. Die Säule – eine von etwa 250, die 1851 im Umkreis von 20 Meilen rund um London aufgestellt wurden – zeigten an, ab wo Steuern auf Wein und Kohle an London gezahlt werden mussten. Sie ist im Grade II eingestuft. Weblinks Chertsey Bridge. In: Structurae Einzelnachweise
Chesil Beach

Chesil Beach (gelegentlich auch Chesil Bank) ist eine Küstenformation in Dorset, England. Die Formation erstreckt sich über 29 km von West Bay (früher Bridport Harbour) bis nach Chiswell auf der Isle of Portland. Sie verbindet dabei die Isle of Portland mit dem Festland bei Weymouth. Die Formation ist 200 m breit und 15 m hoch und schützt die Orte Weymouth und Chiswell gegen die Hauptwind und -wellenrichtung. Von West Bay bis in die Nähe von Abbotsbury verläuft die Chesil Beach an den Klippen, dann trennt Chesil Beach eine mit Brackwasser gefüllte Lagune ab, genannt „The Fleet“. Chesil Beach und The Fleet sind Teil der Jurassic Coast und damit ebenfalls UNESCO-Weltnaturerbe. Geschichte Chesil Beach ist ganz mit Kies bedeckt und von daher leitet sich auch der Name aus dem altenglischen ceoseol oder cisel her, das so viel wie Kies bedeutet. Die Größe der Steine ist über die gesamte Formation unterschiedlich. Bei West Bay sind die Steine nur etwa erbsengroß, während sie bei der Isle of Portland die Größe einer Orange erreichen. Es ist viel über die Entstehung der Formation gestritten worden und die Tatsache, dass sie mit Kies bedeckt ist, führt dazu, dass sie als Tombolo gesehen wird. Die Steine wären demnach von Kiesablagerungen entweder bei Budleigh Salterton oder der Isle of Portland gekommen. Geomorphologische Untersuchungen haben 2009 jedoch eine andere Erklärung für die Entstehung und Struktur der Formation gefunden. Eine vor 125.000 Jahren einsetzende Eiszeit führte demnach zu einem Sinken des Meeresspiegels, der bis dahin etwa auf dem heutigen Niveau lag. Die damals bereits bestehende Erosion der Küste wurde nun nicht mehr vom Meer abgetragen, sondern häufte sich an. Als nach etwa 100.000 Jahren der Meeresspiegel wieder stieg, weil das Eis zurückging, hatte sich eine große Barriere von Geröll abgelagert, die mittlerweile auch bewachsen war, das Wasser konnte diese Aufschüttung nun nur noch sehr langsam abtragen und verteilen, was die heutige Charakteristik der Formation erklärt, die für einen klassischen Tombolo zu gerade entlang der Küste verläuft. Chesil Beach im Zweiten Weltkrieg Die dünne Besiedlung des umgebenden Gebietes und die Nähe zur Marinebasis im Portland Harbour machten Chesil Beach zu einem idealen militärischen Übungsgelände während des Zweiten Weltkrieges. In der Fleet Lagune wurden Bomben für die Operation Chastise getestet, in der Staudämme in Deutschland zerstört wurden. Galerie Siehe auch Liste der Orte entlang der Jurassic Coast Einzelnachweise
Chesil Beach

Chesil Beach (50°34′12″N 2°27′36″O), a veces llamada Chesil Bank, es un tómbolo en Dorset, al sur de Inglaterra. La playa mide 29 km de largo por 200 m de ancho, a 15 m sobre el nivel del mar. Forma parte de la Costa Jurásica, declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco, y es el escenario central del libro On Chesil Beach, de Ian McEwan. Cerca de su final junto a la isla de Pórtland, la playa se curva bruscamente para formar Chesil Cove. Esta parte de la playa protege el pueblo de Chiswell de las inundaciones. La playa brinda resguardo a las localidades de Weymouth y Chiswell de los vientos y las olas. De otro modo, quizá, las mismas no podrían existir. Junto con la laguna Fleet conforma un Sitio de Especial Interés Científico.

St Thomas of Canterbury Church, Woodford Green

St Thomas of Canterbury Church is a Roman Catholic parish church in Woodford Green, Woodford, London. It was built from 1895 to 1896, was designed by Alexander Scoles and has been served by the Franciscan Order of Friars Minor since its foundation. It is located on Woodford Green road next to Trinity Catholic High School. It was funded by Henrietta Pelham-Clinton, Duchess of Newcastle, who also paid for the friary, a primary school, a school for girls, a house for the Poor Servants of the Mother of God, and is buried in the church. History Foundation In March 1878, the Franciscan Friars started an appeal for creating a mission in Woodford Green. In 1879, the Duchess of Newcastle, Henrietta Pelham-Clinton, daughter of Henry Thomas Hope and wife of Henry Pelham-Clinton, 6th Duke of Newcastle converted to Catholicism. She was in the Third Order of Saint Francis. In 1893, she discussed starting a mission with the Archbishop of Westminster Cardinal Vaughan. Together, they planned the construction of a church, friary, schools and house for religious sisters. In 1894, she bought three houses in the area that would provide the foundation of the parish, one for the Poor Servants of the Mother of God to teach at a school, one temporarily for the friars to the north, and The Oaks, in the grounds of which, the present church, friary and Trinity Catholic High School would be built. In March 1894, the parish was founded when the first Catholic church in the area since the Reformation was built. It was a temporary iron church, built in the garden of the house for the friars to the north of Woodford Green. Construction In April 1895, the priest and architect, Alexander Scoles was commissioned to design St Thomas of Canterbury Church and the friary. On 18 May 1895, the foundation stone of the church was laid by Cardinal Vaughan. On 24 May 1896, the church was opened for its first Mass. The builders were Goddard & Sons of Dorking and Farnham and the total construction cost was £10,000, all paid for by the Duchess of Newcastle. She cleared the debt of the church, and it was consecrated on 7 July 1896. Developments On 8 May 1913, the Duchess died and on 2 June 1913 she was buried in the church, in the chapel of St Francis. After the Duchess' death, Poor Clare Sisters moved into the Oaks. In 1931, a new property was bought to be used for a parish centre. In the 1970s, many changes happened in the parish. In 1970, the Poor Clares left. In 1972, the old parish centre was demolished. In 1974, the Oaks was demolished and it was replaced by houses. In the 1980s, the southwest wing of the friary was renovated and became the new parish centre, the Becket Centre. Parish The Franciscan Friars continue to serve the church and they have their UK office in the friary. The church has four Sunday Masses at 6:00pm on Saturday and at 8:30am, 10:00am and 11:30am on Sunday.

College Green (York)

College Green is an open space in the city centre of York, England. History The green lies within the historic precinct of York Minster. As "Vicars' Lane", it was in existence by the late Mediaeval period, named as it led from York Minster towards the College of Vicars Choral on Bedern. In the 18th-century, it was known as "Little Alice Lane", after someone who lived in the area, then from about 1800 it became known as College Street, for St William's College. The church of St Mary ad Valvas lay on the south-west side of the street until 1362, when it was demolished in order to build the Lady Chapel of York Minster. In 1749, the Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion built a chapel south-east of the college. By the end of the century, it was used by the Calvinistic Baptists. South of the Minster, the south-west side was built up with houses. Two were demolished in 1862, and College Green was created. The remainder were demolished between 1905 and 1937 in order to enlarge College Green. In 1955 the road was realigned a little further south-west and the green was enlarged, while a sundial originally from Drakelow Hall was erected on the green. The green is regularly used as a location for the York Mystery Plays, and it has also been used as outdoor seating for local hospitality businesses. Layout and architecture College Street runs south-east from Minster Yard, near its junction with Chapter House Street, to a junction with Goodramgate and Deangate. College Green runs along its south-west side. The Queen's Path runs from the south-west side of the street around the south-east side of the Minster. Notable buildings on the north-east side of the street include 2 College Street, with parts dating back to the 13th-century; St William's College, a Grade I listed building dating from 1465; 8, 9 and 10 College Street, built around 1830; and the early-14th century 30 and 32 Goodramgate and 11 and 12 College Street, which incorporates part of a former gateway into the Minster precinct.

St Andrew's Church, Skipton

St Andrew's Church is a closed church in Skipton, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. A Congregationalist church was first built on the site in 1777, which was replaced by a new building in the mid-19th century. In 1892, a Sunday school was erected to its east, which survives as the church hall. The church was demolished and rebuilt between 1914 and 1916, to a design by James Totty. Historic England describes it as "a striking example of a late Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts-style church that retains a complete and coherent scheme". It was built for the Congregational Union of England and Wales, but as it opened during World War I, its congregation was smaller than anticipated. By 1975, the congregation had further declined, and it formed a partnership with the Skipton United Reformed Church, Broughton Road Methodist Church and Gargrave Road Methodist Church, the four thereafter sharing St Andrew's Church. The building was grade II listed in 2021. The church closed in 2023, the congregation moving to Trinity Church in the town. In 2025, it was marketed for sale for £695,000. The church is built of sandstone and limestone, with slate roofs, and is in Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts styles. It has a cruciform plan, with semi-octagonal half-turrets, a sanctuary, a porch and a vestry. The entrance front facing the road has a decorated gable flanked by buttresses with carvings at the top. It contains a double doorway under a decorated segmental arch, above which is a large window with a pointed arch. Inside, there is a gallery accessed through a staircase in the east turret, which has steeply tiered seats and an oak parapet, and is supported on iron columns. There is an oak dado throughout, and Art Deco stained glass by William Gamon & Co. There are oak pews and tiered choir stalls, above which is an organ built in 1906 for the former church.
