Tiverton RFC

Tiverton Rugby Club is a rugby union club based in the town of Tiverton, Devon, England. The club plays at Coronation Field, and as of the 2025–26 season competes in the level six Regional 2 South West league and the Devon Intermediate Cup. It is considered to be the oldest rugby club in Devon. History Tiverton Rugby Club was the opposing team in the first recorded rugger match played by the boys of Blundell's School in 1868. According to the club's website, the game was played under the school's own rules: with twenty players in each team, no flags, a referee and two umpires and it was known as the "carrying game". The team adopted the standard rugby rules in 1870, following which it played not only against the school but against teams from nearby towns such as Crediton, Exeter and Wellington. During the 1880s the club was considered to be one of the top clubs in the South West, and won the inaugural Devon Rugby Football Union annual competition in 1888. Since then, the club's website reports, the sport has at one time almost been forgotten in the town while at other times there have been as many as four town clubs competing against each other. In the 1980s the club was three times champions of the pre-league Devon Merit Table and four times winners of the Devon Colts Cup. In 1998 the club won the Devon Cup again after 110 years, following victory over Torquay Athletic on their own ground.

St James Church Alperton

St James Church Alperton was originally a Gothic Revival Anglican Parish church, built in Alperton in the London Borough of Brent in London. It is situated on Stanley Avenue in the London Borough of Brent. Consecrated in 1912, the original church building was declared to be a redundant church on the February 7, 1989, and was subsequently demolished in 1990 to make way for a replacement modern church, St James Church Centre. Foundation The church was built to replace temporary previous arrangements, which had included a missionary's tent, and at one point, a church made out of corrugated iron from 1896. A chapel belonging to the Baptists had been in place since 1828, but Alperton was not made an Anglican parish in its own right until 1904, and had previously been served by St John the Evangelist Church, Wembley. However, the process was not entirely smooth, and there was an ongoing boundary dispute between the two parishes which continued from 1911 to 1954. Construction By the early 20th century, a movement of population from the Wealdstone area had made the construction of a more lasting structure a necessity, which was designed by the architect William Pite, brother of Arthur Beresford Pite in the Gothic Revival style. The church was described as being constructed from yellow stock brick, with a dressing of stone and red brick. The church featured the customary main body of the nave and chancel, a transept on the south end of the building, and, in addition, a baptistery in the north west, a chapel in the north east, and a porch – the narthex. St James Church also had its own bell tower which was described as a ‘turret’. There was also an associated church hall as early as 1914. The church's organ was donated, coming from St Peter's Italian Church, in Clerkenwell, central London, and was originally gas lit. It was later updated to include a boiler room, and the organ was later replaced, probably by 1929, by another donated item, described as coming from Saint Mark's, Whitechapel in the late 1920s. At a later stage, a Compton Electronic organ was installed – an electric lighting system was in place by 1930. The church also had stained windows, some of which were in place as memorials to prominent members of the congregation. Redundancy and demolition By 1989, the now redundant church had been scheduled for demolition, and the London Diocese Fund had earmarked part of the site for a new place of worship, with the remainder to go, by sale or lease, to Bellway homes for redevelopment under Section 46 (Pastoral Scheme), which deals with places of worship that are unsuitable for present needs, and specifies how, when part of a site is sold or leased, the proceeds can then be used to create a new place of worship. A new place of worship In 1990, a new church, St James Alperton Church Centre, had been constructed on the site, designed by the K C White Partnership of Essex. The new church's mission statement describes it as a multilingual place of worship, and offers services in Tamil, Urdu and Hindi.

Момбери-Рингс

Момбери-Рингс — неолитический хендж на юге города Дорчестер в графстве Дорсет, Англия. Это большое круглое земляное укрепление, 85 метров в диаметре, с единственным валом, внутренним рвом и выходом на северо-восток. Ров был создан из серии воронкообразных шахт, по 10 метров глубиной каждая, которые были помещены очень близко, чтобы создать непрерывную траншею. В начале XX столетия при раскопках рва были обнаружены останки человека и фрагменты оленьего черепа. Спустя две тысячи пятьсот лет после строительства, в эпоху римского присутствия в Британии, место было приспособлено под амфитеатр гражданами соседнего римского города Дурновария (Дорчестер). Вход был сохранен, и внутреннее пространство использовалось исполнителями для чего оно было занижено, изъятый при этом грунт был досыпан к валу. Во время Гражданской войны место было вновь использовано в оборонных целях в качестве артиллерийского форта для охраны южного подхода к Дорчестеру. Современный вид объекта с тех пор существенно не менялся. Самая существенная реконструкции этого времени — большая покатая насыпь напротив входа. Роль Момбери-Рингс как амфитеатра на короткое время возродилась в конце XVII — начале XVIII века столетиях как место как место для публичной казни. В 1685 году, к концу восстания Монмута, Джордж Джеффрис приказал, чтобы здесь были казнены восемьдесят повстанцев. В 1705 году Мэри Чаннинг, девятнадцатилетняя женщина, признанная виновный в отравлении своего мужа, также была повешена и сожжена в этом месте. Томас Харди описал этот случай в своей поэме «The Mock Wife», и отметил некоторые подробности своего исследования относительно этого случая в личной переписке. Памятник в настоящее время является местом, открытым для общественного посещения, и используется для открытых концертов, фестивалей и постановок. Ссылки (англ.)

St Martin's Church, Walsall

St Martin's Church is situated in the West Midlands town of Walsall on the corner of Sutton Road and Daffodil Road. St Martin's is an Anglican parish, in the Deanery of Walsall and Diocese of Lichfield. The church is named after St Martin of Tours. The parish of St Martin's principally serves three large suburban housing estates, Orchard Hills, Brookhouse and Park Hall Estates in Walsall. History St Martin's was initially a church plant of St Matthew's Church in Walsall, under the leadership of the Reverend Vernon Nicholls, Vicar of St Matthew's, and later Bishop of the Diocese of Sodor and Man. Prior to the construction of the present church building, the congregation worshipped in the Red House Pub (now the Longhorn). The church stands on land that once belonged to the family of Mary Stanley, a site that was formerly occupied by the Stanley family home, which was demolished in error instead of the old Three Crowns pub, further up the Sutton Road. The two yew trees that flank the front pathway once stood in the garden. The church building was consecrated by the Bishop of Lichfield, the Right Reverend Arthur Streetton Reeve, on Saturday 22 October 1960. The building has a distinctive A frame design, and features a large carving of Christ with the children, by Raymond Forbes Kings. St Martin's was a daughter church to St Matthew's, and its ministers were originally curates from St Matthew's. In 1975 St Martin's was granted its own incumbent, and in September 1977 St Martin's became a district church, responsible for its own affairs, with a resident minister living in the newly constructed St Martin's House. On 13 December 1987 a Team Ministry was inaugurated, consisting of St Matthew's, St Martin's and St Luke's, with a Team Rector and two Team Vicars. In 2011 the Team Ministry was disbanded, and St Martin's became an independent parish in its own right. The churchmanship of St Martin's is Open Evangelical.
