Собор Пресвятой Девы Марии и Святого Фомы

Собор Пресвятой Девы Марии и Святого Фомы (Собор Непорочной Девы Марии и Святого Фомы Кентерберийского; англ. The Cathedral Church of Our Lady Immaculate and St Thomas of Canterbury), также известный как Нортгемптонский собор — католический собор в Нортгемптоне, Нортгемптоншир, Англия. Главная церковь епархии Нортгемптона и кафедра епископа Нортгемптона. Посвящён Деве Марии и святому Фоме Кентерберийскому. История В 1823 году епископ Джон Милнер, апостольский викарий округа Мидленд, назначил отца Уильяма Фоли в Нортгемптон. Первые два года отец Фоли проводил мессы в небольшом доме, в котором одна комната использовалась как часовня. Затем он купил участок земли на месте разрушенного в XVI веке монастыря Святого Андрея, куда Томас Бекет (Фома Кентерберийский) отправился в изгнание. На этом месте была построена часовня Святого Андрея, которая открыла свои двери нортгемптонским католикам 25 октября 1825 года. В 1840 году епископ Нортгемптона Уильям Уэринг заказал Огастесу Уэлби Пьюджину проект коллегиальной часовни Святого Феликса, поскольку часовня Святого Андрея уже не могла вместить всех прихожан. Новая часовня была построена в 1844 году. Вскоре и это здание стало слишком маленьким для растущей конгрегации, и Фрэнсис Амхерст, преемник епископа Уэринга, заказал Эдварду Уэлби Пьюджину, сыну Огастеса, спроектировать пристройку, чтобы превратить здание в собор. Пьюджин возвёл нынешний неф, который был открыт в 1864 году и посвящён Непорочной Деве Марии и святому Фоме Кентерберийскому. Впечатляющие витражи с изображением святого Петра и других местных святых, таких как Эдуард Исповедник и Томас Бекет, были изготовлены Джоном Хардманом из Бирмингема в 1860-х годах. В таком виде собор оставался до 1948 года, когда епископ Лео Паркер решил расширить западную часть собора, для чего пришлось снести часть часовни Святого Андрея. Уцелевшая часть часовни, включая оригинальный алтарь, теперь находится в ризнице и зал капитула. Строительные работы были завершены семь лет спустя, в 1955 году. Курировал перестройку архитектор Альберт Герберт, который также возвёл трансепты и башню. В 1998 году было переоборудовано святилище. В часовне Святого Причастия был установлен новый витраж по проекту Джозефа Наттгенса, чья работа также представлена в Виндзорском замке; оригинальные скамьи священнослужителей для хора из главного алтаря были перенесены в зал капитула; была заменена кафедра (или трон епископа) на более сочетающуюся с стоящим за ней триптихом Святого Духа. В соборе установлены два органа. Примечания Ссылки Официальный сайт (англ.)
Huddington Court

Huddington Court is a 15th-century moated manor house in the village of Huddington in Worcestershire, England, some six miles east of Worcester. It was described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as 'the most picturesque house in Worcestershire'. It was the home of the Wintour family, of which the Gunpowder Plot conspirators Robert, Thomas and John Wintour are the most notorious. The house is a private residence and is not open to the public. It has been Grade I listed on the National Heritage List for England since 1952. The Gunpowder Plot The plans of the Gunpowder Plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605 were, partially, conceived in Huddington Court. Two priest holes, believed to have been built by Nicholas Owen, are in the building. One is behind an oak panel in what was the chapel, where mass was said by the resident priest. The main section of the hole has another door which leads to a small room where the priest would not have wanted to suffer from claustrophobia! The other hiding hole is in the room opposite and is a door made to look like a part of the wall. This enters into a quite sizeable room that was only discovered in the 1920s. Following the arrest of Guy Fawkes the plotters fled to Huddington Court and arrived at about 2.00 p.m. on Wednesday 6 November. They left early the following morning in the pouring rain and made it as far as Holbeach House in Staffs where following a shoot out they were killed or arrested. Some had fled and were picked up later, including Robert Wintour who evaded capture for two months. Thomas had been wounded and their half brother, John, surrendered his sword at Dudley Castle. They were all executed. Huddington Court was confiscated along with all their estates. However, it was back in family ownership by 1607, most probably via the payment of large fines by the Talbot estates. Robert's wife, Gertrude, being the daughter of Sir John Talbot of Grafton Manor. Etched into the glass in the main bedroom of the house are the words "past cark, past care", reputedly carved by Lady Wintour with her diamond ring while her husband hid in the woods around the house before his capture. However, this is untrue and it is in fact by a priest by the name of William Clerke, who was hiding out there in the summer of 1603 following his implication in the Bye Plot. He was arrested in Worcester on 13 August that year and executed in Winchester on 29 November. See also Winter baronets References External links Huddington Court
Huddington Court

Huddington Court (eller Hodington Court) är en herrgård som ligger cirka en mil öster om Worcester i Worcestershire, West Midlands i England. Den omges av en vallgrav med en bro och fasaden är vit med framträdande svarta balkar. Huddington har beskrivits som det mest pittoreska huset i hela Worcestershire. Huset förvärvades först av släkten Wintour under Edvard I:s regeringstid. Den siste av släkten Wintour att vara bosatt i Huddington var sir George Wintour (1622–1658). Efter det tog earlerna av Shrewsbury över ägandeskapet för Huddington innan det 1919 köptes av Hubert Edmondson. Huset är för närvarande i privat ägo och är inte öppet för allmänheten. Två av konspiratörerna i krutkonspirationen, Robert och Thomas Wintour, växte upp i Huddington. Planerna att spränga det brittiska överhuset i Westminsterpalatset tänktes först ut i detta hus. Efter att konspirationen hade misslyckats flydde några av konspiratörerna till Huddington runt 14-tiden den 6 november 1605. Tidigt nästa morgon höll de en mässa tillsammans med fader Nicholas Hart, som också hade hört deras bekännelser; detta tolkade författaren Antonia Fraser som att konspiratörerna visste att de inte hade lång tid kvar att leva. Huddington har också flera prästgömmor byggda av Nicholas Owen. En legend om Huddington gäller Robert Wintours fru, Gertrude (flicknamn: Talbot), vars osaliga ande fortfarande ska synas i trädgården vid huset. Platsen kallas för "Lady Wintours Walk" och det sägs att hon väntar på sin makes återkomst, då han arrangerade hemliga möten mellan dem under tiden som han och Stephen Littleton var på flykt från myndigheterna.

Viroconium

Viroconium of voluit Viroconium Cornoviorum was een belangrijke nederzetting in de Romeinse provincie Britannia. De goed bewaarde overblijfselen van Viroconium liggen bij het dorp Wroxeter in het Engelse graafschap Shropshire, niet ver van de grens met Wales. De plaats wordt genoemd als een van de vele mogelijke locaties van Camelot, het legendarische kasteel van Koning Arthur. Naam Van de naam Viroconium betekent het eerste deel, viro-, waarschijnlijk "waar" of "man". De betekenis van het tweede gedeelte, conium-, is onduidelijk, hoewel het aan een meer of bos zou kunnen refereren. Een andere mogelijkheid is dat Viroconium een Latijnse vorm is van de Brythonisch-Keltische benaming Uriconon voor de nabijgelegen heuvel The Wrekin. Het achtervoegsel Cornoviorum betekent "van de Cornovii", de plaatselijke Keltische stam. Geschiedenis Volgens de Geographia van Ptolemaeus was Viroconium al voor de Romeinse tijd een van de nederzettingen van de Cornovii. Na de komst van de Romeinen werd het de hoofdplaats van deze stam, en rond 58 n.Chr. werd het een Romeins fort. Hier was het legioen Legio XIIII Gemina gelegerd tijdens de Romeinse invasie van Wales. Later was het Legio XX Valeria Victrix hier gelegerd, tot Viroconium rond 88 n.Chr. haar militaire functie verloor. Viroconium groeide hierna uit tot de op drie na belangrijkste stad van de Romeinse provincie Britannia. Rond 130 n.Chr. besloeg de plaats zo'n 70 hectare. Op het hoogtepunt had Viroconium ongeveer 6.000 inwoners. Viroconium had een amfitheater, een complex van thermen en een forum gewijd aan keizer Hadrianus. Het hoofdgedeelte van Watling Street, een Romeinse weg door Engeland en Wales, liep van de Engelse zuidoostkust naar Viroconium. Viroconium was, samen met Calleva Atrebatum (nu Silchester), de enige Romeinse nederzetting in Engeland die niet tot een middeleeuwse stad uitgroeide maar verlaten werd. Mogelijk koos men ervoor om te verhuizen naar het nabijgelegen Shrewsbury, dat makkelijker te verdedigen was. Omdat er geen nieuwe stad boven de Romeinse nederzetting gebouwd werd, is Viroconium een van de best bewaard gebleven plaatsen in Engeland uit de Romeinse tijd. Een groot deel van de Romeinse stad is nog niet onderzocht door archeologen. Wel bleef de plaats bewoond na het vertrek van de Romeinen in 410, en werden er een aantal nieuwe houten gebouwen neergezet op of rond het voormalige thermencomplex. De plaats werd bekend onder de Oud-Keltische naam Caer Guricon. Het was mogelijk de hoofdplaats van het middeleeuwse Koninkrijk Powys. Volgens een andere theorie was het de hoofdplaats van koning Vortigern. Externe links (en) BBC - Shropshire - History - The invisible city under the fields (en) English Heritage: Wroxeter Roman City
Virocônio

Virocônio (em latim: Viroconium) foi uma cidade romana na Inglaterra, na atual vila de Wroxeter, a aproximadamente 8 quilômetros (5 milhas) de Shrewsbury. O nome Virocônio sugere uma origem muito antiga; viro significa homem e cônio é relativo a tribo cónios. Esta tribo veio da Península Ibérica pela Cornualha, onde são conhecidos como cornóvios (do corno), assim o nome completo da cidade romana seria: homem cónios do corno - Virocônio dos Cornóvios. Estima-se que Virocônio teria sido o quarto maior estabelecimento romano na Bretanha com uma população superior a 6.000 habitantes no seu pico. Foi fundado no fim do século I d.C., e por volta do ano 130 d.C., já cobria uma área de mais de 70 hectares, incluía uma zona de banhos e um fórum dedicado ao imperador Adriano.

1 Cobham Mews Studios

1 Cobham Mews Studios (also known as Agar Grove Studios) is a grade II listed architecture studio and office in Camden, North London. Built between 1987 and 1989, it was the first building in the United Kingdom designed by David Chipperfield. Critic Lee Mallett noted Cobham Mews Studios as "one of the best buildings of the 1980s." Cobham Mews served as a studio and office for Chipperfield's architecture firm until 2011. Since 2011, it has been the office of Gustafson Porter + Bowman, a landscape architecture firm. As of 2025, the building is planned to be redeveloped for residential use. Design The building is on "an awkward triangular plot" and is bordered by the back gardens of other properties on all sides. Chipperfield said that the design of the building "was totally determined by this condition". Additionally, because of a planning requirement, the design was not allowed to overlook the site's neighbours. These restrictions led to a building where most of the daylight comes from rooflights and small courtyards. The design is inspired by Victorian artist studios and Japanese architecture, and has been described by Historic England as minimalist and modernist. The building is laid out in two units with a symmetrical steel and glass brick frame, a shared entrance, and a dividing concrete wall. The interior was simply designed with "carefully detailed, high-quality materials", according to the Twentieth Century Society (C20). Notable details include the exposed concrete stairs, large oak doors and metal handrails. The interior has remained largely the same since the building's completion, with some lights being replaced by identical new fittings and screens added to create quiet, private areas. History The site was previously a scrapyard. The building was designed and built between 1987 and 1989 for Derwent Valley Property Developments and was the first complete building by David Chipperfield Architects; it was their architecture studio and office until 2011, when they moved to premises in Waterloo. Chipperfield's practice initially only leased one of the two units, but later also leased the other. Since 2011, it has been used by landscape architects Gustafson Porter + Bowman. In 2024, a planning application to change the building's use to a residential dwelling was submitted, with plans to convert the building to four separate residential units. In January 2025, C20 submitted a listing application with the support of Chipperfield, saying they "[support] the conversion in principle" but noting that the building being listed would ensure any work was "sympathetic to the heritage of the building." Historic England designated Cobham Mews Studios a grade II listed building on 14 August 2025, noting its architectural interest and its significance as the first complete building by Chipperfield. The building was also the first listing for a building designed by Chipperfield. References
Grovelands Park

Grovelands Park is a public park in Southgate and Winchmore Hill, London, that originated as a private estate. The park is Grade II* listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. Grovelands, the house on the western side of the park, is Grade I listed on the National Heritage List for England. History The mansion, which was initially called 'Southgate Grove', was built in 1797–98 to the designs of John Nash for Walker Gray, a Quaker brewer. The grounds were landscaped by Humphry Repton. In 1816 the building was described as being "a regular building of Ionic order, and presents a fine example of that beautiful style". Lucinda Lambton has called the building an "idiosyncratically flounced, classical villa", and mentions that the owner bought much of the parkland to avoid the sight of other people's chimneys. She goes on to describe the interior: "Inside, there survives one of the most delicate delights in all London: Nash's octagonal dining-room, painted as if you are in a bamboo birdcage, looking out through the bars at the fields, woods and sky." After Gray's death the property was acquired by John Donnithorne Taylor (connected to the Taylor Walker & Co Brewery), whose family continued to live at Grovelands up to the First World War. Part of the estate was purchased by the Municipal Borough of Southgate in 1913 to become a public park. The house is part of the Priory Hospital Group. In 1998, General Augusto Pinochet was held under house arrest initially in Grovelands House while a patient at the Priory Hospital. Listed and at risk Grovelands Park was designated Grade II* Listed in October 1987, and has been on Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register since 2009. Historic England describe the park as highly vulnerable with "significant localised problems" and the trend of further decline. They believe the issues are caused due to the fragmented management of the park due to the number of landowners. A "historic environment assessment" commissioned by the Enfield London Borough Council in 2008, provided priorities and guidelines for landowners when carrying out "repairs and restoration". Planned development In 2013 Enfield Council revealed several concepts to improve the park, including refurbishing existing sports facilities, opening up disused land owned by Thames Water, and the provision of a new primary school. Enfield Council reassured residents that the park they currently have access to will not be built on or reduced in size. The council has stated that: "Options include locating the new school in the area near to existing tennis courts whilst restoring and extending the existing tennis provision which may involve an artificial turfed surface." Flora and fauna The terrapins in the lake were believed to be the descendants of discarded pets that were able to survive and breed. Feral terrapins are a recurring problem in many London waterways. Recreation The park is home to a Parkrun. References External links Grovelands Park on the VisitWoods website The Friends of Grovelands Park website

Carrow Bridge

Carrow Bridge is a bridge over the River Wensum in Norwich, England, carrying Carrow Road. The original Old Carrow Bridge was built in 1810 and replaced in 1833 by an iron bascule bridge. A new Carrow Bridge was built further north in 1923 to replace the old one, alongside what is now the only surviving bridge house in the city, Carrow Bridge House. History Demand for a larger bridge across the Wensum was present as early as 1776, with the historic crossing points at Trowse Bridge and Bishopgate Bridge providing only limited access to and from the city centre. That year, a letter to the Norwich Corporation asked for an act of Parliament for the building of another bridge. Carrow Bridge was first built in 1810 as a bypass for Foundry Bridge. It was likely made of wood. The 1810 bridge was replaced in 1833 by a single-leaf roller iron bascule bridge, designed by Arthur Browne. It is now known as Old Carrow Bridge. The current bridge was constructed to replace the old bridge in 1923, in a position further north. This was ostensibly unemployment relief work, due to pressure from Colman's which wanted to extend their works over the public road. Carrow Road was diverted to reach the new bridge. Carrow Bridge House Carrow Bridge House, standing next to the current bridge, is the only surviving bridge house in Norwich. The house was built around 1923 to provide accommodation for the bridge master. It is a two-storey cottage with an unusual parallelogram footprint, a pantile roof and pebbledash walls. Three applications have been made to knock the house down. Norfolk County Council applied to knock it down for landscaping in 2018, and it was sold the following year; its owner of 50 years asked potential buyers to leave it standing. Its new owner Wexham Homes submitted plans to Norwich City Council for it to be demolished and replaced with a new building in 2023 and 2024. All three applications were denied.

London Buddhist Vihara

The London Buddhist Vihara (Sinhala:ලන්ඩන් බෞද්ධ විහාරය Landan Bauddha Viharaya) is one of the main Theravada Buddhist temples in the United Kingdom. The Vihara was the first Sri Lankan Buddhist monastery to be established outside Asia. Established in 1926, the Vihara is managed by the Anagarika Dharmapala Trust in Colombo. The current chief bhikkhu of the Vihara is Ven. Bogoda Seelawimala Nayaka Thera, who is also the Chief Sangha Nayaka of Great Britain. The Vihara building, Grade II listed, was the social club for Chiswick's Bedford Park garden suburb until 1939. The building was designed by Norman Shaw; the interior, now much modified, was by Edward John May. History The London Buddhist Vihara was founded in 1926 by Anagarika Dharmapala. One of the temple's main benefactors during its early days was Mary E. Foster, who financed ‘Foster House’ in Ealing. This was the first Sri Lankan Buddhist temple established outside Asia and was named the London Buddhist Vihara in 1926. Shortly afterwards, the Vihara moved to Gloucester Road in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, where it continued until the Second World War. During the war, the temple premises were requisitioned, and the monks returned to Ceylon. In 1955, the Vihara reopened in Ovington Square, Knightsbridge under the initiative of Sir Cyril de Zoysa. Narada Nayaka Thera became the chief bhikkhu of the Vihara in 1958. The Vihara moved to Heathfield Gardens, Chiswick in 1964. Hammalawa Saddhatissa Nayaka Thera subsequently became the chief bhikkhu of the Vihara and was succeeded in 1985 by Dr Medagama Vajiragnana Nayaka Thera. In 1994, the Vihara moved to its present premises at The Avenue, Chiswick. Ven. Bogoda Seelawimala Nayaka Thera was appointed as the chief bhikkhu in May 2008. The Vihara has several resident bhikkhus from Sri Lanka, and conducts and actively engages in religious Buddhist activities in the region. Building The Vihara building was the social club for the Bedford Park garden suburb until 1939. The architect, Richard Norman Shaw, designed the exterior in 1877-8; the interior, now much modified, was by the architect Edward John May. The building was Grade II listed in 1970.
