Stoke Bridge

Stoke Bridge in Ipswich carries Bridge Street (A137) over the point at which the River Gipping becomes the River Orwell. It carries traffic into Ipswich from the suburb of Over Stoke. The bridge consists of two separate structures and is just upstream from Ipswich dock on a tidal section of the river. History There are records of a bridge existing on the site from the late 13th Century. The fact that the Domesday Book mentions Saint Mary at Stoke implies that a crossing existed much earlier. The bridge was built close to where there was formerly a ford. Near the ford, at Stoke Quay, archaeological evidence of Saxon occupation has been found. The town records of the reign of Elizabeth I note that 28 loads of timber were transported from Whitton for the building of Stoke Bridge. Stoke Bridge is featured in John Speed's map of Ipswich of 1610 and Joseph Hodskinson's map of 1783. In 1779, there is a record of two sturdy beggars, who stood on Stoke Bridge on a Sunday morning, insulting any who did not give them money. By 1801 the bridge was made of brick and stone, but no records of its construction have been found in the Corporation Records. On the 12th April 1818, the bridge collapsed after much rain and heavy flooding, such that "the whole valley resembled a huge lake". Three men were standing on it at the time, admiring the rushing waters, and were tipped in. Two were rescued, but one was drowned, his body recovered days later. Engineer William Cubitt succeeded in constructing a temporary floating bridge. His firm, Ransomes, erected a cast-iron bridge. The ironwork was made in Dudley, Worcestershire, sent in sections by canal to Gainsborough on the Trent, and then to Ipswich by sea. A concrete bridge replaced the cqst-iron one in the 1920s, with a second being added alongside in 1982-3. The current southbound bridge has a plaque celebrating the bridge's erection over 1924 and 1925. The bridge was the southernmost crossing of the river in Ipswich until the construction of Orwell Bridge in the 1980s. References See also Map sources for Stoke Bridge

Stoke Minster

Stoke Minster is the Minster church of St Peter ad Vincula and main church in Stoke-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, England. It is now the main church of the wider city of Stoke-on-Trent. Name and dedication The dedication to St Peter ad Vincula means "Saint Peter in Chains". It is derived from the Basilica of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome. The church was formally renamed Stoke Minster in 2005 in recognition of its role in the civic life of Stoke-on-Trent and north Staffordshire. The title "minster" is an honorific, sharing a common etymology with "monastery". History The first church on the site was built of timber in 670. It was replaced with a stone building in 805 which was extended over the centuries. The remains of this Anglo-Saxon and former collegiate church survive in the churchyard. The re-erected arches date from the 13th century when the chancel was rebuilt. Saxon evidence survives in the baptismal font rescued from use as a garden ornament and restored in 1932 for baptismal use in the church. The church is the burial place of several generations of Josiah Spode's family, as well as Josiah Wedgwood, who is also commemorated inside the church by a marble memorial tablet commissioned by his sons. The title of "Stoke Minster" was conferred on the church by The Rt Revd Jonathan Gledhill, Bishop of Lichfield, at a ceremony on 17 May 2005. Building James Trubshaw and Thomas Johnson (1794–1865) designed the present parish church. Building began in 1826 and the church was consecrated on 6 October 1830. In the church are ceramic memorials to many of the potters of the district and there is a modern memorial to the football player Sir Stanley Matthews. The west tower has a ring of 10 bells, all of which John Taylor & Co of Loughborough recast in 1971. The tower has also a clock with a single bell, which John Taylor & Co cast in 1888. The church has been a Grade II listed building since 2 October 1951. Organ The organ was built in 1899 by J. J. Binns of Bramley, Leeds, as a house organ for the master potter H. J. Johnson. Johnson gave the organ to the church in 1921 as a memorial to members of his family who died in World War I. It was installed, unchanged, on the west gallery. It was rebuilt with substantial changes by J. W. Walker & Sons Ltd in 1972. The specifications of the organ are recorded at the National Pipe Organ Register. Notes

Stoke Park, Bristol

Stoke Park is a public open space of 108 hectares (270 acres) in Bristol, England. It occupies a prominent position on the eastern flanks of Purdown, alongside the M32 motorway, together with the landmark Dower House and Purdown transmitter. Approximately 80% of the park is within the Bristol ward of Lockleaze; the remainder is within South Gloucestershire. Bristol City Council plan to extend cattle grazing throughout the park between April and November 2018 to stop the spread of invasive scrub and as an educational resource. There has been some public opposition to developments in the park. Petitions have opposed the felling of hundreds of trees in a stretch of young woodland and the construction of a 3m wide path which could stretch for nearly 2km across the park's meadows. The Dower House The Dower House is one of Bristol's more prominent landmarks, set on a hill above the M32 motorway on the main approach into the city, and painted yellow. The house was built in 1553 by Sir Richard Berkeley. It has also been used as part of Stoke Park Hospital. The house closed as a hospital in 1985, and has been converted into flats. Duchess Pond Within Stoke Park are two small lakes, the largest of which is Duchess Pond. It is used for angling and also supports breeding birds which are scarce elsewhere in Bristol, for example, reed warbler and reed bunting; in addition, an Egyptian goose was seen here in 2006 and a bittern in 2014. Listed structures Several aspects of the house and estate are listed. The house is Grade II* listed. The balustraded terrace, the Orangery, the remains of the obelisk, and the Broomhill Gate are all Grade II listed. The woods contain the Beaufort Memorial, the cold bath, a stone tunnel, and a partially derelict stone tunnel with rusticated entrance arches, all also Grade II listed. Other facilities Hermitage Tunnel Purdown BT Tower Woodland World War II gun emplacements on Purdown: The site was first established in 1939 to hold mobile anti-aircraft guns, but was converted to a permanent concrete reinforced battery in June 1940. Manned by the Royal artillery regiment, the site included octagonal gun emplacements, integral ammunition bays and shelters with surrounding blast walls as well as a command post. Most of the structures survive and are still clearly observable.

Stokeleigh Camp

Stokeleigh Camp is an Iron Age promontory fort in Leigh Woods North Somerset near Bristol, England. The hill fort is one of three Iron Age fortifications overlooking the Avon Gorge, the others being Burgh Walls Camp south of the Nightingale Valley, of which almost no trace remains, and the other being Clifton Down Camp on the opposite side of the gorge, on Clifton Down near the Observatory. A prehistoric road is believed to have connected Stokeleigh Camp with Cadbury Camp near Tickenham in North Somerset. Description Stokeleigh Camp is situated on a promontory, and occupies around 7.5 acres (3.0 ha). It was protected by the Avon Gorge to the north and east, by the steeply sloping Nightingale Valley on the south and by three ramparts which increase in size as they move inwards towards the central plateau, with the innermost vallum (a ditch and rampart with a palisade) being over 30 feet (9.1 m) high. It shows evidence of dry walling along most of its length, although this may not be an original feature. Archaeological remains Stokeleigh Camp is thought to have been occupied from the late pre-Roman Iron Age, when it was in the area controlled by the Dobunni. Archaeological investigations suggest during the 1st century Belgae tribes may have been present with some of the pottery showing the influence of the Durotriges. There may have been a break in occupation before reuse in the middle to late 2nd century. In addition to the pottery recovered a possible coin of Gallienus dating from his reign between 253 and 268 has been recovered. An iron-involuted brooch of the La Tène II type has also been found. It is unclear whether the occupation of Stokeleigh Camp in the 3rd century was for a formal garrison or whether it was just used by "squatters" or as a place of refuge in times of crisis. It has been suggested that Stokeleigh was connected with the Wansdyke, a series of defensive linear earthworks, consisting of a ditch and an embankment running at least from Maes Knoll in Somerset, to the Savernake Forest near Marlborough in Wiltshire, however there is little evidence for this. It is also possible that the site was occupied in the Middle Ages. See also List of hill forts and ancient settlements in Somerset References External links Map of Leigh Woods from c.1900
Stokenchurch BT Tower

Stokenchurch BT Tower is a telecommunications tower built of reinforced concrete at Stokenchurch, Buckinghamshire, England. Reaching to 340.5 metres (1,117 ft) above mean sea level, it dates from 1963 and is 99.4 metres (326 ft) tall. There are four platforms at the top that are used to attach microwave transmission drums and other antennas. The tower is visible on clear days from The Shard in central London, at a distance of 60km. The Stokenchurch Tower is one of the fourteen BT towers built of reinforced concrete. Seven of the fourteen are of similar design, known as the 'Chilterns' type, after this tower's location on the Chiltern Hills. They are identical except for their heights, which vary considerably; the Stokenchurch BT Tower is the second tallest out of the set.

Stonar School

Stonar School, founded in 1895, is a non-denominational independent day and boarding school, at Cottles Park, near Atworth, Wiltshire, south-west England. The school occupies 80 acres of parkland and gardens in a location about 8 miles from Bath. There are about 420 pupils from 2 to 18 years old, with approximately 100 in the prep school section and 320 in the secondary section. History The school was established in 1895 as a girls' school at Stour House, Sandwich, Kent, and adopted the Stonar name when it moved to the larger Stonar House, also in Sandwich. The school was evacuated to Cottles House when the Sandwich premises were requisitioned by the Ministry of Defence in 1939. The school was acquired in 2013 by Globeducate, a subsidiary of American private equity firm Providence Equity, which operates over 50 schools in several countries. Boys began to be accepted by the school in 2016 and it became fully coeducational. Cottles House The Grade II-listed Cottles House was designed by Thomas Jelly and John Palmer of Bath as a country house for Robert Hale, and built in 1775–78 on the site of an earlier house belonging to the Hale family. The name comes from the Cotel family who held the manor (also known as Little Atworth) in the 13th century. The house was extended c.1832 by H.E. Goodridge, who also designed St Michael's church at Atworth. The result is described by Historic England as "rambling L-plan" and by Pevsner as "early 19th-century Gothick". The room which is now the school library has a late 16th-century stone chimney piece with caryatids, which may have come from the earlier house; Pevsner states it is splendid but "much too big for the house". Elsewhere, joinery including doors and window shutters is from the early 19th century, and there are Adam-style fireplaces on the first floor. Equestrian education Stonar offers an equestrian education alongside the academic curriculum. Facilities include an indoor school, an 80 x 40m surfaced arena, four cross-country courses and stabling for up to 65 horses and ponies. Guest trainers include Mary King. Notable former pupils Pamela Kirkham, 16th Baroness Berners (born 1929), hereditary peeress and former Conservative member of the House of Lords (1995-1999).

Stone Castle

Stone Castle er et slot i byen Stone tæt ved Bluewater i Kent i det sydøstlige England. Det blev bygget mellem 1135 og 1140, hvor Vilhelm Erobreren underskrev en traktat med befolkningen i Kent i 1067. Historie Det menes at slottet er bygget kong Stefan. Det omtales i 1165 som Stone Castle, da Thomas Becket besøgte det på vej til Canterbury. Det menes, at slottet forfaldt og blev genopbygget i 1300-tallet. Omkring år 1300 tjente sir John de Norwood fem gange som sheriff i Kent. Han blev adlet af Edward 1. I 1308 overgav han slottet til sin bror Henry Norwood. Edward 3.s søn Den sorte prins blev efter sigende adlet her. Omkring år 1400 solgte Norwood-familien slottet til familien Bonivant. Det var senere ejet af familien Wiltshire, som bl.a. talte Bridget Wingfield, der var nær ven af Anne Boleyn. Deres korrespondance var med til at dømme dronningen for utroskab. I 1527 blev det besøgt af Thomas Wolsey, Thomas More og jarlen af Derby. Det var på den tid, Henrik VIII kæmpede for at gifte sig med Anne Boleyn, som boede på Hever Castle, 32 km derfra. Under 2. verdenskrig brugte Royal Air Force slottet som base. I dag ejes det af Blue Circle, og dets jord er lejet ud til Land Securities i 2000, og bygningen er udlejet til Heritage Conference Centre. Se også Liste over borge og slotte i England Referencer

Stone Castle ist eine Burg im Dorf Stone in der Nähe von Bluewater in der englischen Grafschaft Kent. Sie wurde zwischen 1135 und 1140 in der Nähe der Stelle, an der Wilhelm der Eroberer 1067 den Vertrag mit den Männern von Kent unterzeichnete. Geschichte Die Burg gehörte der Familie Wiltshire, zu der auch Bridget Wingfield, eine enge Freundin von Anne Boleyn, gehörte, deren Korrespondenz dazu missbraucht wurde, die Königin wegen Ehebruch zu verurteilen. 1527 besuchten Thomas Wolsey, Thomas Morus und der Earl of Derby die Burg. Dies war etwa zu der Zeit, als König Heinrich VIII. erstmals dafür kämpfte, Anne Boleyn, die auf Hever Castle, 32 km entfernt, lebte, zu heiraten. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg hatte die Royal Air Force die Burg beschlagnahmt. Heute gehört sie Blue Circle und die zugehörigen Ländereien wurden 2000 an Land Securities verpachtet.
