Parkstone Grammar School

Parkstone Grammar School (commonly abbreviated to "PGS") is a selective, all-girls academy school in Poole specializing in science and languages, on the southern coast of England. Overview The school is situated in the northern end of the town (less than a mile away from Poole Grammar School). The school has been a recognised science specialist college since 2003 and a language specialist college since 2008. Admissions The school caters for girls between the ages of 11 and 18, teaching all to GCSE and a large proportion to A-level. Approximately 1,300 pupils from school years 7 to 13 attend the school, of which over 350 pupils are in sixth form. To be accepted to Parkstone Grammar School, all girls are required to sit an entrance test, taking place somewhere in late September. History Founded in 1905 as a co-educational school at Ashley Cross in Parkstone by William Ernest Brennand. It was an independent school until Dorset Council took it over in 1935. Two years later, the schools in Poole were reorganised, and the boys from Parkstone Grammar were transferred to Poole Grammar School, and the girls who were at Poole Grammar transferred to Parkstone Grammar. The two grammar schools both have very close links as they are only approximately 1,000 metres apart. The first headmistress, Miss W. M. Allen, was in post from 1937, just before the reorganisation, until 1959, by which time the current site at Sopers Lane had been chosen. She laid the foundation stone for the new school. Miss N. L. McGuinness was headmistress from 1960, when the school opened at Sopers Lane, until 1976. Charmian Birchett was head from 1976 to 1987 when Dr. Paula Haes took over, and then Val Morrison until 2001. Anne Shinwell was headmistress from 2001 to Easter 2013 when she retired and her position went to Tracy Harris. On 1 January 2011 the school officially gained academy status. The school re-implemented a house system on 18 November 2015, after letting it lapse after its usage in the 1970s. Additional information The school first accepted pupils from the age of 11 (Year 7) in 2013, after a large-scale change to the structure of schooling in Poole took place.

Parliament Hill Lido

Parliament Hill Lido, located in Hampstead Heath, north London, is next to Gospel Oak railway station. The lido, also known as Hampstead Heath Lido, is a public unheated open air swimming pool, open for 12 months a year. It first opened in 1938. Description This unheated pool is 200 by 90 feet (61 m × 27 m) and is owned and operated by the City of London Corporation, who also own the whole of Hampstead Heath. The lido is open for the summer season from mid May to mid September. From September to April it is open from 7am to 12 noon for early morning swims only, one of only three unheated winter swimming venues in London, the others being Brockwell Lido in Herne Hill and Tooting Bec Lido. Another swimming venue, the Highgate Ponds are a short walk away. There is a users' group for the lido (and the ponds), the United Swimmers' Association of Hampstead Heath. History The lido was opened on 20 August 1938. The lido was designed by Harry Rowbotham and T. L. Smithson (London County Council Parks Department) and is nearly identical in design to Victoria Park Lido and Brockwell Lido. There was a diving stage, chutes and a café, with areas for sunbathing and spectators. Costing £34,000 to construct, this was the most expensive of the then London County Council's 13 lidos built in the 1920–39 period. In 1976, after the murder of 15-year-old Enrico Sidoli, further safety measures were taken, including removing most of the diving facilities and increasing staff. The last diving board was removed in 2003.The murder of Enrico Sidoli by drowning has never been solved and a reward has been offered for information. Refurbishments after the late 1980s included hot showers, cycle racks, a paddling pool and CCTV. In 1986, after the abolition of the Greater London Council (who had inherited ownership from the LCC), the lido was transferred to the London Residuary Body and then in 1989 to the Corporation of London. The lido was Grade II listed in January 1999. 49,000 visitors were recorded in 2003. In 2005, the custom for free swimming before 9.30am was dropped and a £2 entry fee introduced. Refurbishment in 2005 included a stainless steel pool lining, the first of its kind for an outdoor pool in Britain.

Parliament Street Methodist Church

Parliament Street Methodist Church is a Methodist church on Parliament Street in Nottingham. History The congregation originated as New Connexion Methodists from a chapel in Hockley after their split from the Wesleyans in 1797. The first building on the Parliament Street site opened on 4 April 1817. It was made of brick and plaster to seat five hundred but on 15 February 1826 the church re-opened with a gallery to increase the seating to one thousand. On 11 August 1874 the foundation stone of the present church was laid by Alderman W. Foster. The architect was Richard Charles Sutton. Mr Mayball of Lenton was the contractor. The building was opened on 27 May 1875. The church was renovated by Abraham Harrison Goodall in 1892. The building was refurbished and re-organised in 1989 by Bodill and Sons under the supervision of the architect, G. Birkett, when the congregation merged with that of the Albert Hall, Nottingham. During the period of construction, services were held in St. Catharine's Church, Nottingham. Organ The Conacher pipe organ was installed when the church was built in 1874. It appears to have cost £570. It was cleaned in 1966. It is maintained by Henry Willis & Sons. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ register. References
Partis College, Bath

Partis College on Newbridge Hill, Bath, Somerset, England, was built as large block of almshouses between 1825 and 1827. In 1950 it was designated as a Grade I listed building. It was founded by Ann and Fletcher Partis for women "who had been left in reduced circumstances", and still provides accommodation, in 30 two-storey terraced houses set around three sides of a quadrangle, for women, aged over 50 in membership of the Church of England. Fletcher Partis was a barrister who purchased the land for the almshouses, however he died and the further development was undertaken by his wife. The building is in a Greek Revival style. The main range has 32-bays with a centre piece with an unfluted Ionic portico fronting the chapel. On each side are wings with five apartments and beyond them pavilions. The east and west ranges each have 16 bays. The lodge, walls, gates and gatepiers are also listed buildings. In 1862, George Gilbert Scott redesigned the original chapel, which had been built by Henry Goodridge. In 1929 a new block was added to provide a nursing wing, after funds were given by Dame Violet Wills. In 2015 Right Reverend Peter Hancock the Bishop of Bath and Wells became the patron of the almshouses.

Parwich Hall

Parwich Hall is a privately owned 18th-century mansion house at Parwich, near Ashbourne, Derbyshire Dales. It is a Grade II* listed building. The Manor of Parwich was owned by the Cockaynes of Ashbourne until they sold it in about 1608 to Thomas Levinge of Norfolk. His great grandson, Richard Levinge, was Speaker of the Irish House of Commons and became the first of the Levinge Baronets. His son the second Baronet replaced the old manor house with the present brick and limestone mansion house in 1747. The entrance front has three storeys and five bays, symmetrical around the slightly advanced and pedimented central bay. A three-bayed service wing was added to the west in 1905 and raised to three storeys in 1930. The Levinge family seat was moved to Westmeath in Ireland and the house was let out and in 1814 was sold to William Evans| of Allestree Hall. During part of the time of Evans' ownership the house was occupied by the vicar Rev Carr, a relative of Evans. After the death of Sir Thomas Evans in 1892, another clerical descendant, Rev Claud Lewis, had the use of the house. The house was sold in 1915 and again in 1931 when it was acquired by the Inglefield (later Crompton-Inglefield) family. John Frederick Crompton-Inglefield was High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1938. It later became the home of the Shields family. See also Grade II* listed buildings in Derbyshire Dales Listed buildings in Parwich References

Paston Great Barn

Paston Great Barn is a medieval barn near Paston Hall on the southeast edge of the village of Paston in northeast Norfolk, owned by the North Norfolk Historic Buildings Trust. Dating from 1581, the building has a long association with the Paston family. A scheduled monument and a grade II* listed building, the barn is the centre of a 0.95 hectares (2.3 acres) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest, a National Nature Reserve and a Special Area of Conservation. It is in the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The barn The barn is a long, low building, with a thatched roof, and walls built of brick, flint and limestone, with large doors with timber lintels. The barn was commissioned by Sir William Paston III as a grain store and threshing barn. It is approximately 70 metres (230 ft) long, 9 metres (30 ft) wide and 16 metres (52 ft) high. It has been granted Grade II* listed building status by English Heritage due to its architectural and historical importance. There are three 30 metres (98 ft) long Victorian wings on the eastern side of the barn, added to house cattle. Unusually for a barn it has two date stones, one over an entrance and one in a gable end. Additionally, a plaque over the south door records: "THE BILDING OF THIS BEARNE IS Bl SIR W PASTON KNIGHTE". The barn and its immediate surroundings was notified as a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest by English Nature in 1999, and from April 2005, the site has also been designated as a Special Area of Conservation. In 2002, English Nature took on a 50-year lease of the barn. There is currently no public access into the barn, partly in order to minimise disturbance to the bats, although some educational interpretation at the site is being considered for the future. Bats The barn is one of only six known maternity roosts in Britain for the barbastelle bat, a species which is rare at a European scale, and it is the only roost in a building. The colony was discovered in 1996. The barbastelles mostly roost in large crevices in timber lintels over the barn doors. Their feeding grounds are believed to include nearby coastal cliffs. Breeding colonies of Natterer's bat (Myotis nattereri), brown long-eared bat (Plecotus auritus) and common pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) also inhabit the barn.

Christ's College (Cambridge)

Christ's College er et kollegium, der er tilknyttet University of Cambridge i Cambridge i England. Christ's College er blandt andet anerkendt for sin høje akademiske standard. Christ's College omfatter Master, Fellows af kollegiet, og omkring 450 bachelorer og 170 studerende. Omkring 125 bliver optaget hvert år på kollegiet. Christ's College har et budget på 189.400.000 britiske pund tilsvarende til 1.575.903.814 danske kroner. Historie Christ's College blev grundlagt af William Byngham i 1437 som Guds hus, på jord, som kort tid efter blev solgt for at muliggøre udvidelsen af King's College. Byngham anskaffede den første kongelige licens til Guds hus i juli 1439. Chris's College blev grundlagt for at afhjælpe manglen på latinskolelærere i England på tidspunktet. Kollegiet er sågar blevet beskrevet som "den første gymnasieuddannelses kollegium nogensinde". Godshouses oprindelige grund blev som sagt solgt i 1443 til King's College, og i øjeblikket står omkring tre fjerdedele af King's College Chapel på den oprindelige grund, som var kollegiets. Efter det oprindelige royale stiftelsesbrev af 1439 modtog Guds hus tre flere stiftelsesbreve, to i 1442 og ét i 1446, alle tre blev givet før det i 1448 og det var det som Guds hus i realiteten blev grundlagt på. I dét stiftelsesbrev blev kong Henry VI navngivet som grundlægger, og i det samme år flyttede colleget til sin nuværende placering. I 1505 modtog kollegiet en stor legatsum af Lady Margaret Beaufort, moder til kong Henry VII, og fik navnet Christ's College. Udvidelsen af populationen af kollegiet i det 17. århundrede førte til bygningen The Fellows bygning i 1640'erne. Over det næste århundrede blev Christ's bemærket for flere fremtrædende akademikere, der forsøgte at harmonisere den traditionelle kristne tro med de nye naturvidenskabelige sandheder. Disse omfattede Cambridge Platonists som Ralph Cudworth og William Paley, hvis bog Evidences of Christianity (1794) forblev undervisningsmateriale i Cambridge indtil det tyvende århundrede. Men Paleys holdninger om religion og videnskab var snart ved at blive omstødt af en anden mand, som også blev uddannet ved Christ's, nemlig Charles Darwin, der i 1828 kom og boede i William Paleys gamle lokaler i first court. On the Origin of Species (Om Arternes Oprindelse) blev offentliggjort omkring 30 år senere, men den unge Darwins interesse for botanik og geologi blev udarbejdet på Cambridge og på Christ's College. Ligesom resten af Cambridge blev livet på Christ's forvandlet af victorianerne med strengere eksamener plus en stigning i eksperimentel videnskab og åbningen af universitetet for ikke-anglikanere. Den første halvdel af det tyvende århundrede var mærket af to verdenskrige.

Christ’s College (Cambridge)

Christ’s College (Kolegium Chrystusa, Kolegium Chrystusowe) – jedno z kolegiów stanowiących część Uniwersytetu w Cambridge. Historia Szkoła powstała w 1437 z inicjatywy Williama Byngham, księdza z Londynu, w celu kształcenie nauczycieli. Początkowo nazywana była God’s House (Dom Boży). W 1446 otrzymała od Henryka V licencję królewską (royal licence). God's House przeniesiono wówczas gdzie indziej, gdyż na jego terenie założono nowe kolegium, znane jako King’s College. Christ’s College znajduje się w obecnym miejscu od 1448. W tym samym roku otrzymał drugą licencję królewską, która uważana jest za oficjalny dokument założenia tego kolegium. W 1505 Małgorzata Beaufort, matka króla Henryka VII, za namową swojego spowiednika, biskupa Johna Fishera, przekazała fundusze na rozbudowę God’s House. W tym czasie przemianowano God’s House na Christ’s College, a lady Margaret jest uważana za jego fundatorkę. W czasach reformacji uczelnia głosiła idee purytańskie – w 1625 przyjęto na studia Johna Miltona, który był ich zagorzałym zwolennikiem. Czasy współczesne Na Christ’s College studiuje około 600 studentów. Szkoła cieszy się wysoką renomą: według tabeli Petera Tompkinsa była ona w latach 1980–2000 najlepszym kolegium Uniwersytetu w Cambridge.
