Sashes Island

Sashes Island is an island in the River Thames in England at Cookham Lock near Cookham, Berkshire. It is now open farmland, but has Roman and Anglo-Saxon connections. The island is located between Hedsor Water and the present navigation channel leading to Cookham Lock. It can be reached from Cookham by footbridges across three channels of the River Thames via Formosa Island and Mill Island. Its name is derived from Sceaftesege or "Sceaf’s Isle". History The earliest known map of the island was by Hynde, and dates from circa 1580. It shows 'Sashes stream', which cuts the island in half. The island is believed to have been at the point where the Thames was crossed by a Roman road called Camlet Way, which ran from St. Albans to Silchester. Wooden piles and stakes were found here in the nineteenth century and again in 1969 which may indicate the remains of a substantial bridge. Cookham may derive its name from a river port here named "Cwch-ium", which in the Celtic language means "Boat-Place". In Saxon times, Sashes Island was the site of a burh built under Alfred the Great as a defence against the Danes. It was listed in the 914 AD Burghal Hidage. The Burghal Hidage reports that the defences of "Sceaftessige" were 4,125ft long. No trace of this burh has been found, but this may be as a result of the digging of the lock cut in the 1830s, which disrupted the terrain. Late Saxon weapons have been found in the cut. There is a landscape painting of Sashes Island by Gilbert Spencer, brother of Stanley Spencer who was born at Cookham. See also Islands in the River Thames References
Sawtry Village Academy

Sawtry Village Academy (formerly Sawtry Community College) is a co-education secondary school and sixth form located in the village of Sawtry, Cambridgeshire a short distance from Peterborough. Sawtry Community College converted to academy status in April 2015 and was renamed Sawtry Village Academy. The school is now part of the Meridian Trust (previously the Cambridge Meridian Academies Trust). Management The current principal is Simon Parsons. In 2014, prior principal James Stewart left the school in summer 2014 after a critical Ofsted report, and was subsequently arrested over allegations of fraud. In October 2017, Stewart was convicted of four counts of fraud and one of misconduct in a public office. Stewart used £85,000 of school funds to pay off personal debts, £6,000 of school funds to cover household bills, and aided and abetted vice-principal Alan Stevens to commit fraud. During the trial, the court heard that Stewart would routinely lock himself in his office—which he refurbished at the expense of the school which cost thousands of pounds—where he had "a private phone line installed to place bets with bookmaker William Hill, and [would] watch horse racing on TV." His office also contained sex toys, condoms, lubricants and alcohol. Stewart was sentenced to 4 years imprisonment by Mr Justice Stuart Bridge at Huntingdon Law Courts. In February 2019, Simon Parsons was appointed Head teacher of Sawtry Village Academy after the previous principal, Sarah Wilson, was appointed as CMAT Executive Principal.

Zehntscheune (Bradford-on-Avon)

Die Zehntscheune ist ein zur ca. 45 km südlich gelegenen Shaftesbury Abbey gehörendes Wirtschaftsgebäude aus dem frühen 14. Jahrhundert bei der Stadt Bradford-on-Avon im Südwesten Englands. Lage Die Zehntscheune gehört heute zur Barton Farm und befindet sich nur wenige Meter westlich der Stadt zwischen dem Fluss Avon und dem Kennet-und-Avon-Kanal. Geschichte Wahrscheinlich durch eine Stiftung oder Schenkung gelangte das Benediktinerinnenkloster von Shaftesbury um das Jahr 1330 in den Besitz des Geländes, zu dem zahlreiche Gehöfte gehörten. Man erbaute ein Gutshaus und ein Gebäude zur Lagerung des zumeist kurz nach der Ernte in Naturalien entrichteten Zehnts, die dann sukzessive ins Mutterkloster transportiert, in Teilen aber auch an Bedürftige abgegeben wurden. In den Jahren 1536–1541 betrieb König Heinrich VIII. die Auflösung der englischen Klöster, wodurch nahezu alle kirchlichen Güter an die englische Krone fielen, die sie dann an Privatpersonen weiterveräußerte. Erster Besitzer war Edward Bellingham, der jedoch im Jahr 1551 ohne Erben starb, so dass der gesamte Besitz an die Krone zurückfiel. Diesen erwarb ca. 80 Jahre später William Paulet, ein Marquis aus dem ca. 100 km entfernten Winchester, dessen Familie bis zum Jahr 1774 im Besitz des Gutes blieb. Weitere Eigentümer folgten, doch nach dem Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs (1914) übernahm die Wiltshire Archaeological Society das nicht mehr genutzte Gebäude. Dringend notwendige Reparaturen wurden ausgeführt, doch erfolgte eine grundlegende Restaurierung erst in den 1950er Jahren. Seitdem dient es als Museum und befindet sich heute im Eigentum des English Heritage Trust. Architektur Das ca. 51 m lange, 10 m breite, 9 m hohe und – bis auf mehrere unter der Dachtraufe befindliche, schießschartenähnliche Lichteinlässe – nahezu fensterlose Lagergebäude hat je zwei ca. 5 m hohe und von Giebeln überhöhte Toreinfahrten auf beiden Seiten. Das Innere ist ungegliedert und wird von einem imposanten – teilweise restaurierten – ca. 100 t schweren Dachstuhl bedeckt. Siehe auch Great Coxwell Barn, Essex Literatur B. Harvey and R.

Bradford-on-Avon Tithe Barn

Bradford-on-Avon Tithe Barn is a Grade I listed barn in Pound Lane, Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire, England. It was part of a medieval grange belonging to Shaftesbury Abbey and was built in the early 14th century, with a granary dated to about 1400. It is owned and protected by English Heritage and managed by the Bradford on Avon Preservation Trust. Geography The tithe barn is at Barton Farm on the southern side of Bradford-on Avon in West Wiltshire, to the south-east of Bath. The Kennet and Avon Canal passes close to the south side of the barn. History An early barn, of which no remains survive today, was built on the site of the current barn around 1300. The current barn dates to the 1330s, probably c. 1332, and was certainly built before 1367. It originally belonged to the nuns of the nearby Shaftesbury Abbey in Dorset, the richest nunnery in England. It was used for storage of tithes during the Middle Ages. The abbey was entitled to 10% of the produce of its tenants. When Shaftesbury Abbey was dissolved in 1539, the grange became a farm. By 1914 the building was superfluous to the farm's requirements and, rather than demolish it, the then owner, Sir Charles Hobhouse, donated the barn to the Wiltshire Archaeological Society. The farm continued in use until purchased by Wiltshire County Council in 1971, with the barn in use until 1974. The barn was designated as a scheduled monument in 1930 and as a Grade I listed building in 1952. By the 1980s, the weight of the roof was pushing the walls out, necessitating the underpinning of the walls and the installation of iron cross-ties to stop the movement. Features A large building, 51 m (167 ft) long by 9 m (30 ft) wide, the barn forms part of a range of farm buildings grouped around an open rectangular yard. There are two large porches on the northern side to allow entry for loaded carts. Opposite them are smaller porches to allow the empty carts to leave. The apertures high above the doors, which still contain some original wood, are left unglazed to allow owls to enter in search of vermin. An attraction for visitors is the barn's interior, with its timber cruck roof spanning 14 bays divided by A-shaped trusses supporting 100 tons of stone tiles. Popular culture In the 1980s, the barn was a filming location for the cult TV series Robin of Sherwood, doubling as Nottingham Castle's great hall. References Bibliography Else, David (2010).

Sedgwick House, Cumbria

Sedgwick House is located to the west of the village of Sedgwick, Cumbria, England. It was built as a country house, was later used as a school, and then converted into apartments. The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History Located in the historic county of Westmorland, the house was designed by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin, and was one of the earliest commissions of the partnership. It was built in 1868 for William Henry Wakefield, who owned a local gunpowder factory. The family moved out of the house shortly before World War II, and it was then used by Lancashire County Council as a school for children with special needs. The school closed in 1987, and the building has since been converted into residential accommodation. The house was designed and turned into apartments and a separate family living space by graphic and interior designer Malcolme Frank Thorburn. Architecture Sedgwick House is constructed in tooled sandstone, with ashlar and granite dressings, and has green slate roofs. The main part of the house is in two wings at right-angles to each other, forming an L-shaped plan. The wings are in two storeys plus attics, and both have five bays. The entrance wing faces north, and has a projecting central four-storey battlemented tower, with a turret rising to a higher level. On each side of the tower are two dormers, and in front of it is a porte-cochère. There is an extension on the left side of the entrance wing. The garden wing faces west, its outer bays projecting forward and containing two-storey canted bow windows. To the rear of the house are service wings, which incorporate a clock tower. Inside the house is a full-height entrance hall with a hammerbeam roof. Under the staircase in the hall is a large fireplace with pairs of granite colonnettes, with a lintel bearing the inscription BE JUST AND FEAR NOT. The ground floor rooms contain elaborate decorative plasterwork. The architectural style of the house is Gothic Revival; it is the last time that Paley and Austin used Gothic features in a design for a domestic property. External features The gatehouse, sited at the entrance to the drive to the former house, is also listed at Grade II. It was also designed by Paley and Austin, and is constructed in sandstone with green slate roofs. The house is in one storey with attics, and has an L-shaped plan. The grounds are used by the local cricket club. See also Listed buildings in Sedgwick, Cumbria List of non-ecclesiastical works by Paley and Austin References External links Visit Cumbria

Shrewsbury Unitarian Church

Shrewsbury Unitarian Church is a Grade II listed building situated on the High Street in Shrewsbury, England. The meeting house was founded in its present site in 1662 by the Revd Francis Tallents and the Revd John Bryan, two dissenters ejected from St Mary's Church and St Chad's Church respectively. It was destroyed by a mob of Jacobite supporters in 1715 but rebuilt the same year. In 1798, Samuel Coleridge accepted the position of minister at the church, (salary £120 a year) and the effect of his first sermon is recorded by the 19-year-old William Hazlitt from Wem. Arriving in Shrewsbury at 8 p.m. on Saturday 13 January, he preached his first sermon on 14 January and with two others on 21 and 28 January, allowing him to leave Shrewsbury on 29 January for Cote House, the home of John Wedgewood at Westbury near Bristol. Coleridge's stay in Shrewsbury was just over two weeks before being offered £150 a year from Thomas Wedgwood to give up his position and study poetry and philosophy. Charles Darwin worshipped at the church until he was eight years of age when his mother died in 1817. The whole building was rebuilt on its present site in 1839-40 by local architect, John Carline, Jnr with money provided by George the First's government. The town plan of 1882 shows it had a small courtyard, which was removed when the High Street was widened, and that it seated 350 people. In 1885 its present stone façade was made designed by another local architect, A.B. Deakin. References External links Website
