Calveley Church

Calveley Church is in the village of Calveley, Cheshire, England. It is an active Anglican church in the parish of St Boniface, Bunbury, the deanery of Malpas, the archdeaconry of Chester, and the diocese of Chester. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History The building originated in the 17th century as a barn. It then became the coach house for the nearly Calveley Hall. In turn, it was converted into a chapel for the hall in about 1838. In 1911 the church was enlarged by the de Knoop family, the owners of the hall, who added a vestry, and the interior of the church was renovated. During the First World War, the hall and church were used as a hospital for wounded soldiers. After the Second World War, the hall became uninhabited, its fabric deteriorated, and it was demolished in 1952. Money was raised, and the future of the church was secured for the local residents. It later became incorporated into the parish of Bunbury. Architecture Exterior The church is constructed in whitewashed brick with a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan, consisting of a three-bay nave and a single-bay chancel. An organ chamber and a porch project to the north. The porch is timber-framed, standing on a sandstone plinth, and has stained glass in the windows on each side. Over the entrance to the porch is an inscription reading "The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in". The windows contain stone mullions and transoms. On the gables are stone finials. Interior Inside the church, the furnishings are Jacobean in style, and date from the renovations of 1911. They include a five-arched screen standing between the nave and chancel; this carries an oak crucifix. Attached to the screen are the pulpit and, at the opposite end, the lectern. On the west wall are two late medieval panels from an altar, which depict scenes from the Nativity. There is also a brass to the memory of a member of the de Knoop family who died in 1916. The stained glass is by Powells. The two-manual organ was built in 1911 by Samuel Whitely. See also Listed buildings in Calveley References
Calveley Hall

Calveley Hall is a country house to the west of the village of Milton Green, Cheshire, England. It was built in 1684 for Lady Mary Calveley. After Lady Mary's death the estate passed by marriage to the Leghs of Lyme. In 1818 it was remodelled for Thomas Legh, and further alterations have been carried out during the 20th century. The house and estates in excess of 4,000 acres (1,600 ha) around Aldersey, Aldford, Golborne David and Handley were put up for sale in 1827 to satisfy a judgement in the Court of Chancery. The hall and at least some of the lands were bought by George Woolrich, who then attempted to sell some parcels of it. In 1830, Woolrich tried to lease out the hall itself. Edward Davies Davenport was living there by 1835. Robert Hopley was living there in 1841. The house is constructed in rendered brick with stone quoins. It stands on a stone plinth, has hipped roofs in Welsh slate, and three brick chimneys. The entrance front has three storeys, and is symmetrical with seven bays, the bays at the ends being slightly set back. The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner describes it as being "absolutely plain". Inside the house is a broad staircase with double twisted balusters, and newels carved with coats of arms, including those of Lady Mary. One of the rooms in the upper floor has an overmantel carved with the Calveley arms. The hall is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. The gate piers and front garden walls are listed at Grade II. In 2006 the building was in a poor state of repair and as of 2022 the building is on the Buildings at Risk Register.

Camberwell Green

Camberwell Green is a hectare (2.5 acres) of common land in Camberwell, south London laid out as a formal park. Its south-west corner is the junction of Camberwell Road/Denmark Hill and Camberwell New Road/Camberwell Church Street. Its other edges share one point of motor vehicle access. Behind a library at the north-east of the Green is the former Camberwell Magistrate's Court, and at the north-west is a home for the elderly. To the south-west, and overlooking the Green, is a parade of shops including banks and restaurants. The Green is recorded in surveys and accounts of the manor of Camberwell and vestry of Southwark as common land, meaning owned by the lord of the manor but subject to grazing and other rights of local residents. It was bought by Camberwell Parish Vestry in the late 19th century to protect it from development. Camberwell Green is also the name of the London Borough of Southwark electoral ward around the Green. Measured from building to building, the open space including roads and pavements, and private frontages (size of the square) is 1.8 hectares (4.4 acres), and due to curves its parameters are not fixed; these average about 190 metres by 90 metres.

Museum of Cambridge

The Museum of Cambridge, formerly known as the Cambridge & County Folk Museum, is a museum located in Castle Street in central Cambridge, England. Overview The museum is housed in the former White Horse Inn, a Grade II listed 16th century former public house that closed in 1934. It presents the lives of the people of Cambridge and its surrounding area, the county of Cambridgeshire and the Fens from 1700 onwards. The collection includes more than 20,000 objects reflecting the social history of Cambridge and Cambridgeshire, including applied art, coins, costumes, decorative art, fine art, hobbies, law and order, medals, medicine, music, social history, textiles and toys. The museum also holds oil paintings by local artist Mary Charlotte Greene (1860–1951), as well as inn signs by another local artist, Richard Hopkins Leach (1794–1851). The museum is an independent charity, governed by a board of trustees. It also administers Capturing Cambridge, a website that crowd sources local history, documenting stories and memories across Cambridge and the surrounding area street by street. History Cambridge & County Folk Museum first opened in 1936, following a 1933 exhibition organised by the Cambridgeshire Federation of Women's Institutes, entitled 'A Festival of Olden Times, held in Cambridge's Guildhall. Queen Mary visited the museum in 1938 and donated two exhibits, a miniature table and a tea caddy, the following year. In the museum's annual report of 1939 it stated that the collection had risen to over 1,900 exhibits. By 1945 it was reported that the building would be required for a town improvement scheme and the museum committee would have to find a new home, but this did not come to pass. Enid Porter, a leading authority on Cambridgeshire culture, history, customs and beliefs and a pioneer of oral history, became Curator of the Museum in 1947, staying in the post until 1976. In 1988 it was reported that the museum might have to close as it was running out of money. It was longlisted for the 2006 Gulbenkian Prize, but by 2017 was again in financial difficulties. In 2020, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the museum launched a fundraising campaign with the support of Cambridge MP Daniel Zeichner. In May 2021, the museum announced the success of its fundraising campaign and re-opened to the public.

Cambridge Blackfriars

Cambridge Blackfriars is a priory of the Dominican Order in Cambridgeshire, England. It was established in 1238, dissolved in 1538 and re-established in 1938. It continues to operate as a Dominican priory and, in 2000, became the novitiate house of the English Province of the Order of Preachers. The new site is at Buckingham Road, Cambridge, close to Murray Edwards College. Two existing houses were linked by a new wing in 1961–1962 designed by David Roberts. The original house was offered to the Order in 1938 by the widow of Professor Edward Bullough. The second house, Howfield, the family home of Arthur Stanley Ramsey, was bought in 1955. The medieval Dominican Friary was founded before 1238. At the time of its dissolution in 1538, there was a prior and fifteen others. The last prior Gregory Dodds was later Dean of Exeter. A friar John Scory in 1551 became a bishop in the Church of England. Emmanuel College was founded on the site in 1584 and the college's Front Court incorporates 14th-century work from the Friary, in the North Range and Hall. The statue of the virgin and child now in the Church of Our Lady and the English Martyrs in Cambridge is reputed to have been in the Dominican Friary before the dissolution. In 1538 John Hilsey sent Gregory Dodds to Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII's chief minister, to request that the image of Our Lady of Grace be removed from the friary. The statue now in the church is said to have been discovered in Emmanuel College in 1850. References External links Official website English Province of the Order of Preachers site

Cambridge Centre for Sixth-form Studies

El Cambridge Centre for Sixth-Form Studies (CCSS) va ser un centre d'estudis independent de sisè de batxillerat per a estudiants d'internat i diürns de 15 a 19 anys. El centre, que s'havia fundat l'any 1980, posseïa un allotjament residencial i docent al centre de Cambridge, Anglaterra. En no poder mantenir-se com a centre independent, va passar a formar part de la Fundació Stephen Perse el setembre de 2018 i va desaparèixer com a universitat de marca el març de 2020. Decadència i desaparició Durant uns quants anys abans de la seva absorció per la Fundació Stephen Perse, el college havia vist que el nombre d'estudiants havia disminuït bruscament de més de 200 fins a uns 135. Com a resposta a aquesta decadència, el col·legi va reduir la seva plantilla, i també les assignatures que oferia per a l'estudi i les seves activitats extracurriculars i va tancar un dels seus campus i el seu bloc administratiu. El col·legi va patir una alta rotació de personal mitjançant acomiadaments i renúncies. Això no va provocar el canvi esperat en l'estabilitat financera del col·legi i, per tant, el 2018, CCSS es va acostar a la fundació Stephen Perse per sol·licitar-hi l'admissió. El 30 de novembre de 2018 va ser l'últim dia de l'existència del col·legi com a col·legi independent.

Cambridge Centre for Sixth-form Studies

The Cambridge Centre for Sixth-form Studies (CCSS) was an independent sixth-form college for boarding and day students aged 15 to 19. The college, which was founded in 1980, owned teaching and residential accommodation in the centre of Cambridge, England. It became part of the Stephen Perse Foundation in September 2018 and disappeared as a branded college in March 2020. Decline and demise For a number of years prior to its absorption into the Stephen Perse Foundation the college had seen student numbers decline sharply from over 200 to around 135. In response to this fall, the college reduced its staffing, the subjects it offered for study, its extra-curricula activities and closed one of its campuses and its administration block. The college saw a high turnover of staff through redundancies and resignations. These did not cause the hoped for turnaround in the college's financial position and so in 2018 CCSS approached the Stephen Perse foundation to seek admittance. 30 November 2018 was the last day of the college's existence as an independent college.

Cambridge Crown Court

Cambridge Crown Court is a Crown Court venue which deals with criminal cases at East Road, Cambridge, England. It was completed in 2004. History Until the early 21st century, crown court hearings were held in the Cambridge Guildhall. After the judicial facilities in the guildhall were deemed to be inadequate, the Lord Chancellor's Department decided to commission a new courthouse: the site chosen had originally accommodated a row of shops as well as a public house known as the "Wheelwright's Arms", which closed in 1960, and later accommodated Mackay's Garden Centre. The new building was procured under a Private finance initiative contract in 2001. It was designed by Austin-Smith:Lord in the modern style, built by Mowlem and was opened on 7 June 2004. It was commissioned as a Tier 1 court centre, used for trial of serious offences including murder, with three courtrooms. The design involved a drum-shaped structure built in rusticated brick. There was a prominent Royal coat of arms mounted on the brick work on the west side and narrow bands of glazing on the east side. Internally, the building was laid out to accommodate three courtrooms. Gareth Hawkesworth became resident judge in summer 2009. Jonathan Haworth is diversity and community relations judge for the court, and was formerly resident judge. Notable cases Notable cases heard at the court include: September 2009 - Rekha Kumari-Baker was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum tariff of 33 years, for the murder of her two daughters. They were killed as they slept, Kumari-Baker stabbing them 69 times in total. November 2015 - Mark Mosley was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum tariff of 30 years, for the murder of fellow traveller Jessie Smith with a sawn-off shotgun after a New Year's Eve dispute. He was also convicted of attempted murder of another traveller, Paul 'Rambo' Smith. January 2018 - Korim 'Abdul' Ali & Abdul Salam 'Minnie' Ali, of Darwin Drive, Arbury, Cambridge, were sentenced at Cambridge Crown Court on 12 January 2018. Korim 'Abdul' was handed a life sentence and must serve a minimum of 23 years before he will be eligible for release from the parole panel after being found guilty of the murder of James Cromwell. He also received an 8 months sentence to serve concurrently for using a mobile phone in custody. Abdul Salam 'Minnie' Ali was handed a 3-year sentence for intimidating a witness and a concurrent sentence of 8 months for being party to illegal communications on a mobile phone. K & S Ali's mother, Nazna Begum, who said her son had been in the family home at the time he is alleged to have killed James Cromwell was not charged nor was K Ali's girlfriend, Korell Holley for supporting this false statement.

Cambridge Guildhall

Cambridge Guildhall is a civic building in the centre of the historic city of Cambridge, England. It includes two halls, The Large Hall and The Small Hall, and is used for many disparate events such as comedy acts, conferences, craft fairs, live music, talks, and weddings. It is also used by the University of Cambridge for certain examinations. It is owned and managed by the Cambridge City Council, and it is their seat of government. The Guildhall is located on the south side of Market Hill, the market square in Cambridge, between Peas Hill to the west and Guildhall Street to the east. It is a Grade II listed building. History The earliest known property on the site was a house, previously owned by a Jew known as Benjamin, which King Henry III granted to the town for use as a prison in 1224. An adjoining synagogue was leased to the Franciscans who later moved to a convent on a site where Sidney Sussex College now stands. In 1270 the premises became the "tolbooth" as it was known then since its main function concerned tolls for entry to the town and trading at the market. The tollbooth was also used for plays and the troupe of actors, Queen Elizabeth's Men, performed regularly between 1561 and 1562 and again between 1596 and 1597. In 1747, a shire house, designed by Sharman and Barratt in the Classical style, was built, on arches with stalls beneath, on the open area at the front of the Market Square, just to the north of the old tollbooth. Meanwhile, the old tollbooth was rebuilt to a design by James Essex at a cost of £2,500 in 1782. The shire house and the tollbooth were connected by a wooden bridge over Butter Row, a narrow market street with stalls selling dairy products. The two buildings operated collectively as "the guildhall" from the late 1840s. After the old guildhall became inadequate for the council's needs, the current guildhall, which was designed by Charles Cowles-Voysey in the Neo-Georgian style, was built on the site of the two original buildings at a cost of £150,000 and completed in 1939. The guildhall continued to be used as a public venue and concert performers included the contralto singer, Kathleen Ferrier, who made an appearance on 17 May 1951. A sculpture created by Michael Ayrton in 1950, entitled "Talos", was erected on Guildhall Street in 1973. The guildhall, which had served as the headquarters of the Municipal Borough of Cambridge, continued to be the local seat of government after the creation of Cambridge City Council in 1974. The guildhall was the venue for Crown Court hearings until a dedicated courthouse opened in East Road in June 2004. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited the guildhall and waved to the crowd from the balcony in November 2012.

Гилдхолл (Кембридж)

Гилдхолл (Кембридж) — здание в городе Кембридж, Великобритания. История постройки и существования Гилдхолла насчитывает около восьмисот лет. В дальнейшем здание неоднократно переходило от одного владельца к другому, а также менялось его целевое назначение. Последняя известная реконструкция здания была произведена в 1939 году. История История постройки здания берет свое начало от 1224 года, когда оно было передано Генрихом III в пользование еврею по имени Бенджамин. Последний начал использовать здание в качестве тюрьмы, которая вскоре получила название «Еврейский дом». В 1270 году прилегающая синагога была передана в пользование предположительно францисканскому ордену. Последние со временем перебрались в построенный неподалёку монастырь, а освобождённое здание, после перестройки, в 1374 году стало использоваться в качестве ратуши и именоваться Таунхолл или Гилдхолл (англ. “Town” or “Guild” Hall). Дальнейшее упоминание о Гилдхолле относится к 1601 году, когда по распоряжению королевы Елизаветы I здание тюрьмы («Еврейского дома») рядом с ратушей было передано в пользование городскому университету. Горожане отреагировали на это решение волнениями и судебным разбирательством. В 1607 году после длительного судебного процесса было решено вернуть здание тюрьмы в собственность города. В 1747 году старое здание Гилдхолл было снесено, а на его месте построено новое сооружение по проекту архитектора Джеймса Эссекса стоимостью 2 500 фунтов. В новом Гилдхолле с достаточно скромным внутренним дизайном был построен зал для собраний, салон, кухня, коммерческие помещения включая кофейню на первом этаже. В 1788 году «Еврейский дом» перестал использоваться в качестве тюрьмы и был снесен в 1880 году спустя почти пол века существования. Территория на его месте была приготовлена под постройку частных и коммерческих объектов. В 1935 году был предоставлен проект капитального ремонта здания автором проекта которого выступил Чарльз Коулс-Войси. Против выделения бюджета в 150 тыс. фунтов стерлингов выступали горожане. Несмотря на протесты, работы шли без остановки. В 1939 году реконструкция здания была завершена, но торжественное открытие пришлось отменить в связи с началом Второй мировой войны. В 2011 году в Гилдхолле проходили мероприятия приуроченные памяти жертв Холокоста, включая воспоминания выживших, декламацию выдержки из новой пьесы о сэре Николасе Джордже Уинтоне, англичанине, который спас более 600 еврейских детей из оккупированной Германией Праги.
