Ravenscourt Baptist Church

Ravenscourt Baptist Church is a church in Ravenscourt Road, Hammersmith, London. It was established in 1793 as the West End Baptist Church. The current building opposite the Ravenscourt Park tube station opened in 1971. History A society of Baptists first started meeting on Hampshire Hog Lane in Hammersmith as early as 1768. The exact location of the meeting house is unknown. In 1788, a new meeting house built by Samuel Naylor was opened on King Street. For two years, it was occupied by Baptists, after which it was let to another religious society, possibly Methodists, who called the building Trinity Chapel. By November 1793, the building was again taken over by Baptists, forming what became known for over 200 years as the West End Baptist Church. In 1808, the church started a Sunday school for boys, which was opened to girls in 1839. A larger church building was built in 1851. The West End Baptist Church on King Street was famously depicted in a painting by A. J. Messenger at the Royal Academy of Arts, described as "indicative of the heaviness of the Victorian style of buildings". Further modifications were made to the building in 1902. By 1909, it had 630 members. By the 1960s, the church found it difficult to maintain the premises. On 12 June 1971, four foundation stones, including three taken from the old premises, were laid for a new church building on Ravenscourt Road. Church documents dating back to the 19th century, sealed in glass jars, became part of the new structure. The minister at the time was the Reverend Frederick Hemmens. Later that year, excavators were tasked with digging up graves dating back to 1793 in the old church cemetery, after a special bill was passed in Parliament authorising development of the land, and Royal assent was granted in December 1970. The cemetery had been used to bury dissenters who were not allowed to be buried on the "consecrated ground" of the Anglican Church. As of 18 November 1971, eight skeletons had been unearthed; they were thought to be approximately 150 years old. The current church and hall block opened in 1972, with a new entrance on Ravenscourt Road. The new church, which cost £78,000 to build, had a chapel seating 240 people, a large hall, two small halls, and a caretaker's two-bedroomed flat. The front hall block on King Street became part of the Polish Social and Cultural Centre. In subsequent decades, church membership declined. By 1993, it had only 40 members.

Westcott Lodge

Westcott Lodge is a Grade II listed house in Lower Mall, Hammersmith, London. It was originally St Paul's Vicarage, and built in 1746, with some later remodelling, and restoration after damage during World War II. In 1962, it was the first home of the Hammersmith Chess Club, which met there until 1970, when it had grown too large, and moved to St Paul's Church Hall. The first president was the eccentric Lady Herbert, wife of A. P. Herbert from 1966. 1968 saw the British champion, Dr. Jonathan Penrose, play a simultaneous display at the club, winning 17 games and drawing two. In 1963, a street lamp that had formerly been in West Berlin was given by Willy Brandt, then Mayor of West Berlin, to mark Hammersmith's twinning with the Berlin (previously West Berlin) district of Neukölln. The lamp now stands on the house's wall, facing nearby Furnival Gardens. Below it is a plaque which reads: "The lamp above this plaque was formerly used to light a street in West Berlin. It was presented by Herr Willi Brandt, Mayor of West Berlin to Councillor Stanley Atkins, L. P., The Worshipful the Mayor of Hammersmith, as a token of friendship between the two communities on the occasion of the Jumelage held in this Borough, 1st June 1963." References
Christ Church North Finchley

Christ Church North Finchley is a Church of England evangelical church at 620 High Road, North Finchley, London. Christ Church is an evangelical Christian community. History Henry Stephens, the first vicar of Christ Church, was born in Liverpool. He arrived in North Finchley in 1864 as a missionary to the local people, especially the many railwaymen, as the railway had recently arrived in the area. He spent a great deal of time preaching in the open air. Stephens oversaw the construction of the building, which began in 1867 and also founded Christ Church school (now Wren Academy) and nearby St Barnabas church. The memorial tablet on display in the church building summarises his passion: “Ever mindful of the spiritual welfare of his flock, he lived and preached Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” Catherine Ironside was a Christ Church member who left her life in Finchley to serve as a missionary doctor in Esfahan, Iran. Following her death during the Asian Flu pandemic of 1922, the font cover was carved in her memory, echoing the famous Esfahan style.

Mortimer House, South Kensington

Mortimer House is a large detached house on Egerton Gardens in the South Kensington district of London SW3. The house occupies a large corner plot on the corner of Egerton Gardens and the Brompton Road. Description The site had been formally occupied by Crescent House, which had been inhabited by the former Governor of the Bank of England Edward Howley Palmer, since 1881. In the mid-1880s the trustees of the Smith's Charity estate, the local freeholders, agreed to Palmer's decision to rebuild the property. Palmer agreed with the trustees to pay a ground rent of £100 for the first year and £240 annually subsequently. The house was built by the Hatton Garden builder William Goodwin. It is not known who designed the house, nor why it was named Mortimer House. Palmer had recently commissioned architect Richard Norman Shaw to design a house on Cadogan Square for him, but did not occupy it, and Palmer was last listed as the occupier of Mortimer House in 1892. Palmer sold the house in 1896. A Charles Sheridan Swan owned Mortimer House in the early 20th-century, his widow, Mary Kelly Swan, died there in 1909. The house was later sold in May 1913. Mortimer House was owned by the chairman of British American Tobacco, Sir Frederick Macnaghten, in the 1950s and 1960s. His widow, Dame Ada, died there in 1969. The gardens of Mortimer House were open to the public in 1965 as part of the National Gardens Scheme. They were described by The Times as featuring "...an attractive display of roses and a rock garden". The Survey of London felt that Mortimer House "...exudes an air of mystery and surprise amid the surrounding terraces of South Kensington". Mortimer House had been owned by the financier Nigel Broackes in the 1980s and was sold to a Middle Eastern buyer for £3 million in 1983. It has continued to be privately owned since then. Design The house is built in the late 19th-century Tudorbethan style in red and blue interspersed brickwork, with various decorations including gables and statues of griffins and bears with shields. Tall groups of brick chimney stacks surmount the property. The stables of the house have a conical roof and are now garages. A swimming pool in a conservatory was added in the late 20th century. The Survey of London described the interior as having "...a predictable eclecticism of style, ranging from Jacobean in the long hallway containing an oak open-well staircase with twisted balusters and wide handrail to Adamesque in the double drawing-room at the front. The fittings include fine marble chimneypieces in a late-eighteenth-century manner. A room on the first floor may originally have been used as a chapel." The London: North volume of the Pevsner Architectural Guides describes Mortimer House as "a picturesque composition", highlighting its "Tudor chimneys with crenelated pots and stone mullions".

The Fox, Palmers Green

The Fox is a public house in Palmers Green, north London, on the corner of Green Lanes and Fox Lane. A pub and hotel of the name has stood on the site for over 300 years, and the current building dates from 1904. History The first mention of The Fox is in 1682. The Society of Tradesmen and Labourers (1794-1825) met there. Before the advent of the motor car, the Fox was the terminus of the horse-drawn bus service into London, run by the Davey family of publicans. The building formerly had stables at the back. The present building was constructed in 1904. In 2002, a dispute between rival Albanian drugs gangs at The Fox spilled out on to the streets of Palmers Green and two men were critically injured and a third man, Edmund Gullhaj (22), was pronounced dead at the scene. The Fox featured in the film of J. K. Rowling's novel Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004). In 2015, the pub became the London Borough of Enfield's first Asset of Community Value after a successful application by Southgate Civic District Trust. The Wonder public house in Enfield Town is similarly recognised. In 2017, it was reported that Dutch brewers Heineken owned the pub and were preparing plans to redevelop it.

Welbeck Abbey

Welbeck Abbey est un manoir anglais situé dans le village de Welbeck, qui fait partie de la paroisse civile de Norton, Cuckney, Holbeck et Welbeck, dans le district de Bassetlaw du Nottinghamshire. C'était le site d'un monastère appartenant à l'ordre des Prémontrés en Angleterre et, après la dissolution des monastères, une résidence de campagne des ducs de Portland. Elle fait partie des Dukeries, quatre domaines ducaux contigus dans le nord du Nottinghamshire. Histoire Le domaine est mentionné dans le Domesday Book de 1086, où il est mentionné comme appartenant à Hugh FitzBaldric. Thomas de Cuckney fonda la maison religieuse en 1140. C'était une abbaye de chanoines prémontrés, dédiée à Jacques le Grand. L'abbaye fut enrichie par des dons des Goushills, des D'Eyncourt, des Bassets et d'autres familles du Nottinghamshire et elle reçut une subvention considérable du roi Édouard Ier. Lors de la dissolution des monastères, le site fut accordé par le roi Henri VIII à Richard Whalley, de Screveton. Après avoir appartenu à un drapier de la Cité de Londres, l'abbaye fut achetée par Gilbert, 7e comte de Shrewsbury pour la somme de 555 £ 6s 6d (équivalent à 161 079 £ en 2023) en 1599, et vendue à Sir Charles Cavendish, fils de Bess de Hardwick en 1607. Elle passa à son fils William Cavendish, plus tard premier duc de Newcastle ; elle devint le siège des ducs. Les membres de la famille Cavendish la transformèrent en maison de campagne et y ajoutèrent un manège au XVIIe siècle selon les plans de Robert Smythson et de son fils John. Seuls les sous-sols et les murs intérieurs furent conservés de la structure originale des anciens bâtiments de l'abbaye. Au XVIIIe siècle, il passa par une héritière à la famille Bentinck et devint le siège des comtes et ducs de Portland.

Welbeck Abbey

Welbeck Abbey is een landgoed in het Britse graafschap Nottinghamshire. Het is een voormalig klooster van de norbertijnen, dat werd opgeheven tijdens de ontbinding van de kloosters onder Hendrik VIII. Sinds 2002 staan de meeste gebouwen van het landgoed op de Britse monumentenlijst. Geschiedenis Het landgoed werd reeds vermeld in het Domesday Book van 1086, als eigendom van Hugh FitzBaldric. In 1140 werd het in gebruik genomen als klooster, gewijd aan Jakobus de Meerdere. Verscheidene adellijke families schonken bezittingen aan het klooster en het ontving een aanzienlijke schenking van koning Eduard I. Na de ontbinding van de kloosters waren diverse lokale burgers eigenaar van het landgoed, waarna het achtereenvolgens in handen kwam van de Hertog van Shrewsbury, Hertog van Newcastle en ten slotte de Hertogen van Portland. De Hertogen van Newcastle vestigden er hun stamslot, maar die van Portland zijn verantwoordelijk voor de bouw en uitbouw van het kasteel en de bijgebouwen. Johan Bentinck Johan Cavendish-Scott-Bentinck, de 5e Hertog van Portland (1800 - 1879) liet een groot aantal bouwwerken uitvoeren op het landgoed. Daaronder bevond zich ook ruim 24 km aan tunnels en andere ondergrondse ruimtes, waaraan de hertog de reputatie van een hobbytunnelaar dankt. De meeste tunnels waren voorzien van lichtkoepels en werden 's avonds verlicht met gaslicht. Ook bouwde Bentinck een manege en paardrijschool van enorme afmetingen.
