St Giles' Church, Lincoln

St Giles Church, Lincoln is a Grade II listed parish church in St Giles, a suburb of Lincoln in Lincolnshire, England. It was built in 1936 by William Watkins, on a similar plan to the demolished 18th-century St Peter at Arches Church, and reusing some of its materials. It is in a classical style, in brick with stone dressings, with a tower. On the interior, the font, altar rail, organ and organ-gallery stairs all date from the 18th century. History The parish was originally served by St Peter at Arches Church, designed by Smith of Warwick in the 18th century. This was demolished in 1930 and a replacement was built on a different site by William Watkins in 1936, using a similar plan to St Peter's but enlarged. Watkins re-used much of the material from St Peter's, giving rise to the new church's nickname, "the church that moved". St Giles was given a Grade II listing in 1953. Description The church is classical in style. The building material is 20th-century brick, with stone dressings, many from the original church, and copper roofs, also 18th century. The building has rusticated quoins in brick. The principal windows have arched tops with keystones and there are also several circular windows. The entrances to the main building have arched tops and keystones. The tower has an entrance on the east side, which is topped with a cornice and flanked by pilasters. The tower also has string courses, a clock and louvred apertures for the bells, and is surmounted by a cornice, topped with a balustrade with finials in the shape of urns. The interior has stone piers and arches with keystones. Some of the internal doors house pieces of 12th-century stonework. There is a wooden organ gallery across the east end, accessed by paired 18th-century stairs; the organ is 18th century. The west end of the north aisle has a 19th-century wooden screen. The alabaster font is 18th century. The wrought-iron altar rail also dates from the 18th century, and there is a 19th-century wrought-iron pulpit. There is some 19th-century stained glass. Modern church The church remains an active place of worship for the local area. It also undertakes outreach work in the wider community, which is among the most deprived neighbourhoods in the city, including regular sessions in a local supermarket, and the operation of a food bank. In 2014 the churchyard saw the completion of a two-year long restoration project undertaken by local young offenders through a restorative justice scheme operated by Lincolnshire County Council and Lincolnshire Police.

Northallerton Town Hall

Northallerton Town Hall is a municipal building in the High Street, Northallerton, North Yorkshire, England. The structure, which is the meeting place of Northallerton Town Council, is a grade II listed building. History In the mid-19th century, a group of local businessmen decided to form a company to raise funds for the erection of an events venue in the town: the site they selected was occupied by a tollbooth, which had been in use for the collection of market rents since 1334, and a shambles, which had been the local place for meat trading since the 16th century. The "Northallerton Market and Public Improvements Company" was formed, the site was acquired from the Bishop of Durham, the old buildings were demolished and construction started in 1872. The new building was designed by John Ross and Robert Lamb of Darlington in the Italianate style, built in buff bricks with stone dressings at a cost of £3,000 and was officially opened on 22 December 1873. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with three bays facing south along the High Street. The central bay featured a short flight of steps leading up to a projecting porch which supported a balcony, with two French doors on the first floor. The outer bays contained segmental three-light windows on the ground floor and pairs of sash windows on the first floor. At roof level there was a modillioned cornice. Internally, the principal rooms were the market hall on the ground floor and the main assembly hall on the first floor. The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner was critical of the design, describing it as "really irredeemable". The suffragettes, Lydia Becker and Helen Beedy, gave speeches advocating voting rights for women at a public meeting in the building in October 1875. Northallerton Urban District Council, which was formed in 1894, acquired the town hall and the market rights in 1923. However the council chose to establish its own offices at No. 72 High Street, leaving the town hall to continue operations as an events venue. Following local government re-organisation in 1974, the building became the offices and meeting place of Northallerton Town Council. The future Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, spoke at a meeting in the town hall, arranged to make the case for Brexit, in May 2016. A major programme of works to refurbish the basement for use as the new home of the Northallerton Amateur Boxing Club was completed in December 2021.

Old Wolverton Road bridge

Old Wolverton Road Bridge (bridge number 171D) carries the West Coast Main Line over Old Wolverton Road just north of Wolverton Works in Buckinghamshire, southern England. It was designed by Robert Stephenson for the London and Birmingham Railway and opened with the line in 1838. It is a Grade II listed building. Description The bridge has a single arch over the road. It was originally built in English bond-style red brick with dressings in red sandstone, though repairs have been undertaken in blue engineering brick. The arch rests on substantial imposts. The bridge is heavily skewed—the railway continues in a straight line while the road passes underneath—giving it elongated wing walls, particularly on its west side. These curve away from the bridge and terminate in stone piers with pyramidical caps. On the east side, the northern retaining wall abuts the railway embankment which was the site of the original Wolverton railway station, since demolished and now occupied by the Royal Train Shed. History The bridge was built from 1837 to 1838 and opened with the London and Birmingham Railway's (L&BR) line in 1838. It was designed by the railway's chief engineer, Robert Stephenson. It was widened in the 1880s by the L&BR's successor, the London and North Western Railway, when the line was quadruple-tracked. The extension was built in blue engineering brick, which was also used for repairs to the original structure to the point that it now overwhelms the red brick and little of the 1830s brickwork is visible. The bridge was designated a Grade II listed building in 2001 in recognition of its historical and architectural significance. Listed building status provides legal protection from demolition or unsympathetic alteration. Wolverton was home to L&BR's engineering works and multiple structures associated with the L&BR survive, including the original bridge over the canal (which now only serves the works), the Blue Bridge, and Wolverton Viaduct to the north.

St Clement's Church, York

St Clement's Church is a Grade II listed parish church on Scarcroft Road, Clementhorpe, south-west of the city centre of York, in England. There was a mediaeval church dedicated to Saint Clement, lying outside the York city walls, which gave its name to the suburb of Clementhorpe. In 1130, the Benedictine Nunnery of St Clement was founded, and the church was later recorded as forming part of the nunnery complex. The nunnery was dissolved in 1536 (although nuns were briefly reinstated during the Pilgrimage of Grace), but the church remained in use until 1585, when its parish was merged into St Mary Bishophill Senior. The church fell into ruin, and in 1745 the remaining stone from the church was removed and used to repair the walls. There was much construction in the area in the 19th century, and a new church was constructed as a chapel of ease to St Mary, on a site on Scarcroft Road. It was designed by J. B. and W. Atkinson, and was constructed from 1872 to 1874. In 1876, it was given its own parish. A vestry was added in 1880. St Mary was demolished in 1963, and many of its fixtures were relocated to St Clement, including monuments and boards, two of which record the terms of John Carr as Lord Mayor of York. The church was Grade II listed in 2000. The church is constructed of red brick, with stone dressings and plinth and dark brick bands. It has angled buttresses, and a steep slate roof covering both nave and chancel, topped by a small bellcote. The nave has side aisles, and the east end is in the form of an apse. The windows are lancets, those at the east and west ends having three lights, with two-light windows either side. The stained glass in the east window was designed by Jean-Baptiste Capronnier in 1875. Inside, the arcades are of brick, with stone piers and detailed stone capitals. There is a circular stone font, and an octagonal stone pulpit. The choir stalls and screen are later, and were designed by Robert Thompson. References External links Official website

Masham Methodist Church

Masham Methodist Church is a historic building in Masham, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. Methodism first came to Masham in the late 18th century, and the Wesleyan Methodist Church soon erected a chapel. In 1892, a new chapel was built on Park Street, in the neoclassical style. The building was grade II listed in 2004.

Thornhill House, Putney

Thornhill House is a Grade II listed house at 78 Deodar Road, Putney, London SW15, built in about 1890 by the Kensington builder Mr Wakefield, who incorporated fine panelling, staircase and wall-paintings from Wandsworth Manor, which dated from the late 17th century, and was demolished in 1890. Some panelling and flooring is thought to have come from the Tivoli Theatre of Varieties on the Strand, London, which was demolished in 1916. Other internal decorations were added by his grandson, Norris, who had worked with Edward James in the 1930s at Monkton House. It contains murals by the artist Sir James Thornhill.

Church of the Epiphany, Tockwith

The Church of the Epiphany is an Anglican church in Tockwith, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Until the mid-19th century, Tockwith was in the parish of St Helen's Church, Bilton-in-Ainsty. Between 1864 and 1866 a church was constructed in the village, to a design by James Mallinson and Thomas Healey. It was given its own parish in 1867, but is now in the joint parish of Marston Moor. The church was grade II listed in 2004. The church is built of sandstone with a slate roof.

26 Rutland Gate

26 Rutland Gate is a large, detached house on Rutland Gate in the Knightsbridge district of London SW7. The house is listed at Grade II, as is the 19th-century cast iron street light outside the house. Description 26 Rutland Gate is a four-storey, white-stuccoed house built by builder John Tombs in 1846–47. The National Heritage List for England describes the design of the house as "Four-bay front with four-storey canted bay window. Entrance in Tuscan closed porch with balustraded roof attached to south side. First-floor front bombé cast-iron balcony, French windows. Second-floor segmental pediments. Cornice lost. Return elevations altered." The house was listed due to its status as Rutland Gate's last surviving detached villa of the 1840s. The side of the house adjoins the cemetery of the Russian Orthodox cathedral on Ennismore Gardens. History The house was not constructed for a specific client, but Tombs wrote that it would "be occupied by a family of the first respectability". The house was Tombs's last building at Rutland Gate and was first leased by a solicitor, Frederick Pratt Barlow. Barlow had previously been the initial occupant of 17 Rutland Gate. In the 1920s and 1930s, the house was the London home during the Season of the Mitford family, who acquired the lease on the house for £28,000 after selling Asthall Manor, their country house in Oxfordshire. The Mitfords were forced to give up Rutland Gate in the midst of the Great Depression, and it was initially rented from them by the Earl of Elgin, and subsequently by an American woman, a Mrs Warren Pearl. Deborah Devonshire (née Mitford) later recalled in her 2010 memoir, Wait for Me!...Memoirs of the Youngest Mitford Sister, that her mother was annoyed by Pearl's "painting everything, including the floors, green". Jessica Mitford recalled Rutland Gate in her 1960 memoir, Hons and Rebels, describing the house as reflecting "comfort and serviceability rather than elegance". The house was later used by Nancy Mitford to house evacuees from the East End of London and Jewish refugees from Poland in the Second World War. After the war, it was inhabited by Patrick de László, the son of portrait painter Philip de László. The house was acquired by the American businessman Richard Gangel in the 1960s. Gangel was the friend and business associate of Bernie Cornfield of Investors Overseas Service (IOS). Gangel turned the ballroom at 26 Rutland Gate into a cinema as part of what the Survey of London called a "Hollywood-style remodeling of the interior"; the survey also described the house as "attracting some attention for the extravagance of its decorations and fittings". The house was put up for sale for $1 million, then a record price for a property in London, following Gangel's bankruptcy after the collapse of IOS. References
Ram Inn, Wandsworth

The Ram Inn (also known as The Brewery Tap, which was its name for much of the later twentieth century) is a historic pub at 68 Wandsworth High Street, Wandsworth, London SW18. History There is evidence that a pub has been on the site since 1533, and that it was named The Ram Inn from at least 1581. The current building is a Grade II listed building, constructed in 1883, with remodelling in the 1930s. It formed part of the brewery complex of the former Young's brewery and although it was historically known as the Ram Inn, in the twentieth century its name was changed to The Brewery Tap. Controversially, the pub closed in 2006 when Young's closed the Ram Brewery. Current operation The pub reopened in October 2019, and reverted to its original name of The Ram Inn. The re-opened pub continues to have a traditional feel in its ground floor bar, but has adopted a more contemporary style in the first floor bar. Brewing on site The pub has always been associated with on-site brewing, and served its own beer from 1533. Elizabeth Ridon, who leased out the premises, is recorded as the owner in 1550. In 1576 Humphrey Langridge, "beer-brewer at Wandsworth", is recorded as the brewer and landlord in assize court records following a burglary at The Ram (also recorded as "the Rame" in 1581, still with Langridge in charge). Records from 1675 show that the brewery was run by the Draper family, and in the 18th century, the Trittons purchased the brewery. The Ram Brewery was purchased by Charles Allen Young and Anthony Fothergill Bainbridge in 1831. Thereafter it was operated continuously by the Young family, supplying a large network of Young's public houses, from 1831 until its closure in 2006. The last chairman of Young & Co based at the Ram Brewery was John Young, the great-great-grandson of the Young's founder. John Young died just a few days before the closure of the Ram Brewery, a closure which he had announced earlier that year. Young's administrative offices remained at The Ram Brewery until 2007, when they relocated within Wandsworth. From the autumn of 2006 Young's beer was brewed at the Eagle Brewery in Bedford. At the time of its closure in 2006 Young's claimed that the Ram Brewery was the oldest British brewery in continuous operation. The Ram Inn, then known as The Brewery Tap, closed in 2006 with the closure of the Ram Brewery. In October 2019, when the Ram Inn re-opened under new management, a new brewery also opened on the site. Named SlyBeast Brewing, its flagship beer in marketed as "1533" in reference to the earliest known date of the Ram Inn, and of beer brewing on the site.

St Chad's Church, York

St Chad's Church, sometimes known as St Chad on the Knavesmire, is a parish church in the South Bank area of York, in England. In the early 20th century, the South Bank area fell within the parish of St Clement's Church, but it had a small mission church on South Bank Avenue. A church building on Campleshon Road was planned as a memorial to G. Argles, rector of St Clement's. The building was designed by Walter Brierley. Construction started in 1925, but was unfinished when Brierley died the following year. A vestry was added to the building in 1928, when the church was given its own parish. The church was finally completed by Francis Johnson in 1966, with only about half the original plan having been constructed. The building was Grade II listed in 2004. The building is constructed of concrete, with brick facades, and a concrete roof vault. The main part of the church consists of a single space, serving as both nave and chancel, with side aisles, a narthex at the west end, with stairs leading to an organ gallery, and a chapel at the east end. There is a tower at the north-west; this incorporates a porch. The tower has a flat roof and has a brick niche containing a statue of Saint Chad. Externally, the building is divided into bays by full-height buttresses, and the walls are topped with a parapet of moulded brick. There is a priest's doorway at the south-east corner, with its own small tower. The windows are lancets, arranged at the west end in multiple tiers. Inside, the nave and chancel are divided by a screen, with piers which support a piscina and aumbry. The pulpit is hexagonal and was constructed in 1940. References External links Official website

St Luke's Church, Kingston upon Thames

St Luke's Church is a Grade II listed Church of England church on Gibbon Road in Kingston upon Thames, London. Designed by the Leeds architectural firm Kelly & Birchall, it was constructed between 1886 and 1887 by a local building firm, W. H. Gaze. History The church was built to serve the railway workers whose houses form the surrounding streets, situated to the north of the railway station in Kingston. The parish was poor but, through the well-connected wife of the first vicar, received sponsorship from society figures, most notably Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge, granddaughter of George III and mother of Queen Mary, consort of George V. This allowed for the prominent church which stands today, the spire of which was completed in 1891 following a further donation of funds by Lady Wolverton. A painting showing the original design for the church survives. It shows that the building was constructed largely as it was intended by the architects, with only the design of the spire being slightly modified and a clock inserted into the tower. Following extensive research by two local parishioners, the painting was discovered on 2 August 2019; it now rests with the vicar of St Luke's Church, Fr Martin. Present day St Luke's Church stands in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England. As the parish rejects the ordination of women, it receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Fulham (currently Jonathan Baker). Services are held on Sunday mornings and evenings, on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and on Wednesday evenings. The vicar is Fr Martin Hislop.
