Abbaye de Sawtry

L’abbaye de Sawtry est une ancienne abbaye cistercienne située dans la ville de Sawtry (dans le comté du Cambridgeshire), en Angleterre. Comme la plupart des abbayes britanniques, elle a été fermée par Henry VIII durant la campagne de dissolution des monastères. Histoire Fondation L'abbaye est fondée en 1147 ou 1148 à la demande de Simon Ier de Senlis, comte de Northampton et de Huntingdon, qui fait venir douze moines et le futur abbé de l'abbaye de Warden. Les chartes de fondation de l'abbaye sont confirmées par le roi Malcolm IV d'Écosse entre 1153 et 1165, puis par son successeur Guillaume le Lion et leur frère David de Huntingdon à la fin du XIIe siècle. Moyen Âge L'abbé de Sawtry est chargé en 1278 par le chapitre général cistercien d'une mission de surveillance de l'abbaye Notre-Dame de Bon-Repos, en Bretagne. Puis il se voit confier des missions de sauvegarde des biens ecclésiastiques des églises de Honingham et de Fulbourn. Ces missions grèvent durablement la caisse du monastère ; durant tout le XIVe siècle, l'abbaye est endetté. Liste des abbés connus de Warden Dissolution du monastère En décembre 1536, comme l'immense majorité des monastères britanniques, à la suite de la rupture entre Henry VIII et l'Église catholique, l'abbaye de Sawtry est fermée et détruite lors de la campagne de dissolution des monastères. Une maison est rebâtie à partir de 1560 avec les matériaux de l'abbaye. L'abbaye Le site, enclos d'un fossé, mesurait environ 365 × 230 mètres (1 200 × 750 pieds), lequel subsiste aujourd'hui, et dont les bâtiments monastiques proprement dits occupent grosso modo le centre. Le nord de cette zone enclose renfermait un réservoir d'eau potable, et, à proximité, un jardin potager. Le plan de l'abbaye respecte le plan traditionnel cistercien : cloître central, église abbatiale au nord, tournée vers le levant, bâtiment des moines avec salle capitulaire et dortoir à l'est, communs (réfectoire et cuisines) au sud, bâtiment des convers et cellier à l'ouest.

2 Willow Road

2 Willow Road ist der mittlere Teil des dreiteiligen Reihenhauses in der Willow Road in Hampstead, einem nördlichen Quartier von London. Das Haus südlich des Parks Hampstead Heath wurde nach einem Entwurf (1938) des Architekten Ernő Goldfinger erbaut. Seit 1995 gehört es der Gesellschaft The National Trust für Denkmalpflege an. Es gehört zu den ersten Bauten moderner Architektur, welche die National Trust aufnahm, obwohl der Bau des Hauses damals sehr umstritten war. In 2 Willow Road wohnte der Architekt Goldfinger zusammen mit seiner Familie bis zu seinem Tod im Jahr 1987; seine Frau wohnte noch bis zu ihrem Tod 1991 dort. 1–3 Willow Road wurde aus Beton errichtet und mit roten Ziegelsteinen verkleidet. Für den Bau dieser Häuser wurden eine Reihe von viktorianischen Backsteinhäusern abgerissen. Das löste Proteste bei den Anwohnern aus, zu denen auch der Schriftsteller Ian Fleming gehörte. Das Haus Nummer 2 hatte Goldfinger für sich und seine Familie entworfen; es ist das größte der drei Häuser und beinhaltet in seinem Kern auch eine spezielle Wendeltreppe des dänischen Ingenieurs Ove Arup. Die Fertigstellung der Häuser war kurz vor Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkrieges; Goldfinger zog im September 1939 in das Haus Nr. 2 ein. Das Bauwerk wird von einem äußeren Betonskelett getragen und ist im Innenraum großzügig gestaltet. Goldfinger gestaltete auch einen Großteil der Möbel im Haus Nr. 2 selbst. Es enthält auch eine Kunstsammlung mit Werken von Bridget Riley, Marcel Duchamp, Henry Moore und Max Ernst. Das Haus Nr. 2 ist heute zu besichtigen. In den Häusern Nummer 1 und 3 befinden sich private Wohnungen. Literatur Veronica Bailey: 2 Willow Road, Blue Gallery, 2003, ISBN 978-0954191344.

2 Willow Road

2 Willow Road is part of a terrace of three houses in Hampstead, London designed by architect Ernő Goldfinger and completed in 1939. It has been managed by the National Trust since 1995 and is open to the public. It was one of the first Modernist buildings acquired by the Trust, giving rise to some controversy. Goldfinger lived there with his wife Ursula and their children until his death in 1987. History Initially, Goldfinger planned to build a block of studio flats, believing that flat living was a more socially conscious choice for modern architects. This idea was rejected by the London County Council in 1936. He then revised his designs to include a block of three houses, retaining the concrete frame integral to Goldfinger's Modernist philosophy. He submitted these revised plans at the end of 1937. The construction of 2 Willow Road, was completed in the summer of 1939 constructed from concrete and a facing of red brick. A number of cottages were demolished to allow for the construction, which was strongly opposed by a number of local residents including novelist Ian Fleming and the future Conservative Home Secretary Henry Brooke. This incident led Fleming to name his villain Auric Goldfinger by way of revenge. No. 2, which Goldfinger designed specifically as his own family home, is the largest of the three houses and features a spiral staircase designed by engineer Ove Arup at its core. The building is supported by a concrete frame, part of which is external, leaving room for a spacious uncluttered interior, perhaps inspired by the Raumplan ideas of modernist architect Adolf Loos. Today Goldfinger himself designed much of the furniture in No. 2, and the house also contains a significant collection of 20th-century art by Bridget Riley, Prunella Clough, Marcel Duchamp, Eduardo Paolozzi, Henry Moore and Max Ernst. Nos. 1 and 3 remain private homes. In popular culture Restoration of an artwork from the house featured in Series 3, Episode 5 of the BBC TV series, Hidden Treasures of the National Trust.

2 Willow Road

Le 2 Willow Road fait partie d'une rangée de trois maisons à Hampstead, Londres, conçue par l'architecte Ernő Goldfinger et achevée en 1939. La maison est gérée par le National Trust depuis 1995 et est ouverte au public. Il s'agit de l'un des premiers bâtiments modernistes acquis par le Trust. Goldfinger y a vécu avec sa femme Ursula et leurs enfants jusqu'à sa mort en 1987. Opposé à la construction de cette maison, devant remplacer plusieurs habitations traditionnelles, le célèbre romancier Ian Flemming nomma son vilain le plus connu en souvenir de l'architecte. Histoire Initialement, Goldfinger avait prévu de construire un bloc d'appartements-studios, estimant que la vie en appartement était un choix plus socialement responsable pour les architectes modernes. Cette idée fut rejetée par le conseil du comté de Londres en 1936. L'architecte révisa ses plans pour inclure un bloc de trois maisons, conservant la structure en béton inhérente à sa philosophie moderniste. Il soumit ses plans révisés fin 1937. La construction du 2 Willow Road fut achevée à l'été 1939, construite en béton et avec un parement en briques rouges. Un certain nombre de chalets furent démolis pour permettre sa construction, à laquelle s'opposaient fortement un certain nombre de résidents locaux, dont le romancier Ian Fleming ainsi que le futur ministre de l'Intérieur conservateur Henry Brooke. Cet incident conduisit Fleming à nommer son méchant Auric Goldfinger en guise de vengeance. La maison n° 2, que Goldfinger a conçue spécifiquement comme sa propre maison familiale, est la plus grande des trois maisons et dispose en son centre d'un escalier en colimaçon conçu par l'ingénieur Ove Arup. Le bâtiment est soutenu par une ossature en béton, dont une partie est extérieure, laissant place à un intérieur spacieux et épuré, peut-être inspiré par les idées de Raumplan de l'architecte moderniste Adolf Loos. Aujourd'hui Goldfinger lui-même conçut une grande partie du mobilier du « numéro 2 », et la maison abrite également une importante collection d'œuvres d'art du XXe siècle de Bridget Riley, Prunella Clough, Marcel Duchamp, Eduardo Paolozzi, Henry Moore et Max Ernst.

Arnos Park Viaduct

The Arnos Park Viaduct is a railway viaduct of 34 brick arches that was built as part of the extension of London Underground's Piccadilly line from Finsbury Park in the south to Cockfosters in the north. It was built in 1932 and opened in 1933. It starts on the southern edge of Arnos Park soon after Arnos Grove station and ends on the northern side of the park, where the line enters a tunnel that continues to Southgate. Background The viaduct was built as part of London Underground's project to extend the Piccadilly line from Finsbury Park in the south to Cockfosters in the north which started in 1930. The extension was built in stages, first to Arnos Grove station (opened 1932), then to Oakwood (then known as Enfield West), during which phase the viaduct was constructed, and finally to Cockfosters. The entire project cost more than £5 million. The viaduct The viaduct starts at the southern edge of Arnos Park and ends on the northern side of Hampden Way, opposite Morton Way. The Pymmes Brook runs parallel to the viaduct in the north and then under it before continuing eastward. The viaduct is made of brick and consists of 34 numbered arches, broken only by two bridges where it passes over Waterfall Road and Hampden Way. The railway line then enters a tunnel half a mile long in which Southgate station is located before continuing north to Oakwood and Cockfosters. The combination of a viaduct followed fairly soon after by a long tunnel was made necessary by the need to keep the line as level as possible as it crossed the Pymmes Brook valley, then went under high ground at Southgate before continuing above ground to Oakwood and Cockfosters. The viaduct opened in 1933. Gallery References External links Arnos Park Viaduct pictures at Geograph.

In the 1970s the site was a focus for the introduction of non-native amphibians and reptiles, and the LWT aimed to introduce native species. The site is described in 2015 by the LWT as one of London's most important refuges for amphibians. It has four ponds, grassland and scrub. Banks of broken concrete slabs, which are a remnant of the site's industrial past, provide a habitat for basking lizards. Other species include grasshoppers, bush crickets, dragonflies and butterflies. There is no public access. References
Braeburn Park

The area was once used for market gardening; there were orchards, and the Old Crayford Gun Club had been based here. Later, like much of the nearby Dartford Heath, the site was extensively quarried (notably for sand), until it was finally infilled and abandoned in the 1980s; after which time it gradually reverted to nature. Habitats now include ruderal scrub, grassland and woodland. There is a wide variety of invertebrates, including rare ones such as skipping flower beetles and picture-winged flies. There is also a pond, and many common bird species. Reptiles catalogued here include the grass snake, common lizard and slow-worm. There is access to the reserve from Lower Station Road and Galloway Drive, Crayford. A large housing development called Braeburn Park was built here by Taylor Wimpey in 2000. A promised adjacent 17 hectare nature conservation area was finally added in 2014 thanks to resources and management provided by The Land Trust and London Wildlife Trust. References

St Paul's Church, New Southgate

The Parish Church of Saint Paul is a Church of England parish church in New Southgate, London Borough of Enfield, London. St Paul's is an inclusive, welcoming church with an all-age community. Service details are available on the church's website: https://stpaulsnewsouthgate.co.uk/. Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals are regularly taken at St Paul's. History The church originated in 1870 as a mission to the new district of Colney Hatch by the assistant curate of Christ Church, Southgate. The church was built in 1873. In 1873 it became a consolidated chapelry, formed from Southgate and Friern Barnet parishes, with the vicar of Southgate as Patron of the new living. Attendance on census Sunday 1903 was 206 in the morning and 265 in the evening. St Paul's Parish Church has, for much of its history, embraced a Churchmanship that tries to reach out to worshippers wherever they are in the liturgical tradition. This has included a more Anglo-Catholic approach which began with the introduction of High Mass in 1914. Services were held in a temporary building in Ely Place until a church was built on land between Betstyle Road (later High Road) and Woodland Road probably given by G. Knights Smith, one of the largest subscribers. The foundation stone was laid in 1872 and the church, built of stone in the Early English style under the direction of Sir George Gilbert Scott, was consecrated in 1873. It consists of chancel with north and south chapels and south bell turret and aisled nave. The fabric, which was severely damaged by bombing in 1944, was restored by R. S. Morris by 1957. A stone vicarage, built in Woodland Road opposite the church in 1878–80, was demolished in 1964, and was replaced by a purpose-built vicarage on land in the churchyard, to the west of the church. A parish hall was built to the north of the church in 1908, and partially rebuilt in 1952. References External links Media related to St Paul New Southgate at Wikimedia Commons
