Golden Lion, Port Isaac

The Golden Lion is a public house on Fore Street in the English fishing village of Port Isaac, Cornwall. Believed to date from at least the early 19th century, the building may have earlier origins (with claims of its being 18th- and 17th century). It is a Grade II listed building. The main ground floor contains a snug bar, a main bar and a balcony overlooking the harbour. The Bones Bar, separate from the main bar area, is located on the lower ground floor. In there, a section of glassed flooring shows an old passageway that was allegedly a storage area used by smugglers. A door from the bar exits to an area called The Gun Deck, where a gun from the SS Milly can be seen. The vessel was sunk by a German U-boat in 1918 during World War I. Private rooms, for rental, are on the third floor. The pub has featured as the "Crab & Lobster" for the television series Doc Martin and the "local" for the film The Fisherman's Friends. In August 2021, the pub's landlord, St Austell Brewery, was looking for a new licensee. Gallery References External links Official website
All Saints' Church, Pickworth

All Saints' Church is the Church of England parish church in Pickworth, Rutland. Built in 1821, it is a Grade II listed building. History The current church opened in October 1821 but was only consecrated in 1824. The church was built by the Reverend Richard Lucas who was rector of Great Casterton-with-Pickworth and also Edith Weston. The church consists of a southern porch, nave, chancel and a western turret containing a bell. The chancel has a tablet to Joseph Armitage of Wakefield; a bequest to Lucas, his brother-in-law, helped fund the building and endowment. The simplified Norman style was influenced by the 1792 rebuilding of St Peter's Church, Tickencote. The remains of the medieval village lie mainly to the west of the current village centre. The only visible remains, other than earthworks, is a stone arch, standing to the west of the current church. This is assumed to be the outer arch of the porch of the medieval church. The church and most of the village are thought to have disappeared after the 1470 Battle of Losecoat Field. In 1728 and 1731, the steeple was taken down and the materials used for the bridges at Great Casterton and Wakerley. References

St Margaret's Church, Great Barr

The Church Of St Margaret (also known as St Margaret's Church), is the Anglican parish church of Great Barr and is located on Chapel Lane, Walsall, England. It is dedicated to Saint Margaret of Antioch. Originally a chapel, known to have existed by 1552, of St Mary's Church, in the parish of Aldridge, Staffordshire, a full parish was created in 1866. The church was rebuilt in 1862, by Griffin. The tower was built of brick in 1677, but this is completely hidden by a Gothic Revival red sandstone casing added in 1893. The spire is 18th-century. The pulpit, in alabaster, was made to a design by Walter Tapper. The church was granted Grade II listed status in July 1986, legally protecting it from unauthorised alteration or demolition. Its war memorial, described by Historic England as "a lantern cross in the medieval style", was separately listed, also at Grade II, in April 2016. As the church was historically in Staffordshire, its historic records are lodged with Staffordshire Record Office. The church gives its name to the nearby St Margaret's Church of England Primary School, and to the former St Margaret's hospital in the adjacent grounds of Great Barr Hall.

Sunlight Chambers, Newcastle

Sunlight Chambers is a listed residential and commercial building on Bigg Market in Newcastle upon Tyne. It was designed by architects William & Segar Owen in a modified Baroque style and was named after Lever Brothers' Sunlight detergent brand. History Lever Brothers was founded in 1895 by brothers William Hesketh Lever, 1st Viscount Leverhulme (1851–1925), and James Darcy Lever (1854–1916). Together with chemist William Hough, the brothers created a soap that used glycerin and vegetable oils such as palm oil instead of tallow. The resulting soap was free-lathering. At first, it was named Honey Soap but later became "Sunlight Soap". In 1901, the brothers hired architects William & Segar Owen to design a building for the Newcastle branch of their company. It was constructed between 1901 and 1902 and was named after Lever Brothers' then-famous soap brand. Design The building is constructed in a modified Baroque style using sandstone ashlar. The building features a frieze depicting harvest and industry. Its roof consists of French tiles and its architrave-featuring windows are dormer at roof level. Sister building in Dublin At almost the same time, Lever Brothers built a branch in Dublin, which they also called Sunlight Chambers. Although the Irish building was designed in an Italianate style rather than a Baroque style, both Sunlight Chambers feature a characteristic circumferential frieze.

Frogmore Cottage

Frogmore Cottage es una casa histórica clasificada de Grado II en la finca Frogmore, que forma parte de Home Park en Windsor, Inglaterra. Construida en 1801 por orden de la reina Carlota en los jardines cerca de Frogmore House, Frogmore Cottage es parte del patrimonio público de la monarquía británica. Era la residencia oficial del duque y la duquesa de Sussex en el Reino Unido y fue su residencia principal antes de mudarse a Los Ángeles.​ Historia La casa se conocía originalmente como Double Garden Cottage y figuraba en las cuentas de 1801 de la reina Carlota, donde se señalaba que su jardín fue construido por £ 450 por un hombre llamado Bowen.​ La reina Victoria desayunó en la casa el 28 de junio de 1875 y notó una "inmensa cantidad de ranitas" que encontró "bastante repugnantes".​ La cabaña ha sido catalogada como Grado II en la Lista del Patrimonio Nacional de Inglaterra desde octubre de 1975. La lista proporciona algo sobre su historia: "Casa simple de 2 pisos con parapeto de principios del siglo 19. Centro de descanso con porche. Fajas de barra de acristalamiento. Revestimiento de estuco."​ Inquilinos La cabaña era un refugio para Carlota, la reina consorte de Jorge III, y sus hijas solteras.​ El teólogo Henry James Sr. y su familia vivieron en la casa en la década de 1840.​ Un secretario personal de la reina Victoria, Abdul Karim, se mudó a Frogmore Cottage en 1897 con su esposa y su padre.​​ La gran duquesa Xenia Románova permaneció allí en la década de 1992, en el exilio de su Rusia natal después de la Revolución Rusa.​ A principios del siglo XXI, la casa era una serie de cinco unidades separadas que albergaban a los trabajadores de la finca de Windsor.​ En 2019, la casa se convirtió en una vivienda unifamiliar de cuatro dormitorios y guardería a un costo informado de £ 2.4 millones del fondo soberano para el duque y la duquesa de Sussex antes del nacimiento de su hijo, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, en mayo de 2019.​​ Como propiedad de un palacio real de estado y sitio designado como patrimonio, Frogmore Cottage siempre estaba programada para ser renovada, independientemente del ocupante.​​ Sin embargo, después de que el duque y la duquesa de Sussex anunciaran en enero de 2020 que tenían la intención de renunciar como miembros trabajadores de alto nivel de la familia real y mudarse a Norteamérica, "compartieron su deseo de pagar los gastos del fondo soberano para la renovación de Frogmore Cottage".​ En septiembre, según los informes, el duque liquidó esa suma en su totalidad y su contrato de arrendamiento de la propiedad se extendió hasta marzo de 2022.​​ La princesa Eugenia y su esposo, Jack Brooksbank, se instalaron en la casa en noviembre de 2020,​ y a marzo de 2022 residía allí con su hijo.​​ En febrero de 2022, se anunció que el príncipe Harry planeaba renovar el contrato de arrendamiento de la cabaña, lo que le permitiría permanecer domiciliado en el Reino Unido.​ En mayo de 2022, se informó que el contrato de arrendamiento de la propiedad de Harry se había renovado, mientras que Eugenia se había mudado de la propiedad para dividir su tiempo entre Londres y Portugal.​ Referencias Enlaces externos

St Mary's Church, Marshwood

St Mary's Church is a Church of England church in Marshwood, Dorset, England. The earliest part of the church is the tower, which dates to 1840, while the rest of the building dates to a rebuild of 1883–84. St Mary's has been a Grade II listed building since 1983. History Marshwood was originally served by a chapel dedicated to St Mary, which was located on the edge of Marshwood Castle. It had Norman origins and became a ruin in the 17th century. Plans for a replacement to serve the village did not come to fruition until the 19th century when fundraising began in the 1830s. The site for a new church was donated by Mr. C. B. Tucker of Chard in 1839 and Mr. Jesse Cornick of Bridport was awarded the contract for its construction in January 1840. The foundation stone was laid at a ceremony on 25 March 1840, which was witnessed by approximately 2,000 people. The main body of the church and tower was completed by the end of November. St Mary's was consecrated on 26 October 1841 by the Bishop of Norwich, Edward Stanley, acting on behalf of the Bishop of Salisbury who was absent due to bereavement. Once the church was completed, attention turned to fundraising for a national school to be built in the village, which was erected in 1842 on land again donated by Mr. Tucker. By the 1880s, the church had fallen into a state of disrepair and required immediate restoration, with fundraising led by Rev. William Toms. In 1883, plans drawn up by the architect Mr. G. Viles of London were accepted and the church, except for its tower, was rebuilt by Messrs Randall of Lyme Regis for a cost of £900. The church reopened with a ceremony on 15 May 1884. In 2000, St Mary's Church and the adjacent primary school formed a partnership, allowing the school use of the church as a classroom and hall. Improvements to the church were carried out for the benefit of the school and congregation, including new seating and flooring. The church was then rededicated by the Bishop of Salisbury, David Stancliffe, on 3 October 2002. A new vestry was completed in 2007, allowing the original one to be used by the school as storage space.

Barlow Church

Barlow Church is a former parish church in Barlow, North Yorkshire, a village in England. There was a chapel of ease in the village, dependent on St Wilfrid's Church, Brayton, recorded in 1649. The chapel appears to have become disused following the English Restoration, but the current building was constructed before the end of the century. It was restored and altered in 1774, and again in the 19th century. In the 1970s, it was reordered, and more of the interior was given over to the chancel. It was Grade II listed in 1998. The church closed in 2012, and was converted into a house. The three-bay building is constructed of brick, with a pantile roof. There is a small wooden bellcote atop the south gable, with a lead roof and ornate weathervane. The south, west and north facades each have one two-light window, while the east facade has the entrance door and two windows. Before its conversion, there were 19th century pews, and a lectern and altar of similar date, and a brass war memorial plaque dating to about 1920. The Church of England describes it as "a simple, charming building". References
Buxton Road Bridge

Buxton Road Bridge is a railway bridge over the A5004 road in Whaley Bridge, in the High Peak district, in the county of Derbyshire, England. It carries the Buxton line. History The bridge was built in 1863. The structure became a Grade II listed building on 19 June 1998. In 2002, Railtrack became aware of a crack in one of the outer iron spans of the bridge. Restrictions on rail traffic passing over the bridge were put in place, including a 25 miles per hour (40 kilometres per hour) speed restriction for freight trains and a ban on two freight trains passing each other on the bridge. In 2010, Network Rail applied for a Listed Building Consent to replace the bridge with a modern structure. The request was turned down the following year and a subsequent appeal was dismissed. In November 2022, Network Rail applied again for permission to rebuild and modify the bridge. Work to rebuild the bridge began in January 2023. References
St Michael and All Angels Church, Sunninghill

Crossland built the chapel in memory of Thomas Holloway, whose funeral had taken place at the church. Five windows were placed in Holloway's memory. It was funded by Sir George Martin-Holloway. Holloway is buried in a vault at the church with his wife and sister. The historic residence of The Cedars is situated opposite the church. The former church green that adjoined Saint Michael's was sold to the owner of The Cedars in 1779. The front garden of the house was formerly part of the burial ground of the church. The monument to Richard Fitzpatrick in the churchyard is listed Grade II as is the monument to Francis Stone. The church tower has three bells, with the first inscribed 'William Eldridge Made Mee 1662', the second 'S. O K 1705' and the third was made by John Warner in London with a date of 1867. Rear Admiral Home Riggs Popham who served in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars is buried in the churchyard. His tomb was restored by the 1805 Club. Popham's tomb has reliefs marking his participation in the naval battles of Copenhagen, Cape of Good Hope, in northern Spain, and the British invasions of the River Plate in the Napoleonic Wars. There are nine Commonwealth War Graves Commission memorials in the churchyard, marking the burial place of British military personnel from the First and Second World War.
