Shendish Manor

Shendish Manor is a country house at Apsley in Hertfordshire. History The history of Shendish Manor goes back to the 13th century when Ralf de Chenduit was granted land in the area. Ralf de Chenduit's family built a manor on the site in about 1300; it passed to Richard and Alice Parker in about 1364, to John Cheyne, the local squire, in about 1560 and then to John Beale, a London grocer, in about 1650. The house changed hands many times before coming into the ownership of Charles Longman, who was part of the long standing family publishing firm Longman, in 1853. Charles also joined the associated company of John Dickinson and Co. In 1835 he married Anna Maria Surman Lewis who was the daughter of John Hampton Lewis of Henllys in Wales. In 1853 Charles Longman commissioned the architect John Griffith to build Shenish. The famous landscaper Edward Kemp was employed to design the gardens. Kemp wrote about this task in his book “How to Lay Out a Garden”. The house was described by one newspaper in the following terms: "The mansion which Charles Longman erected at Shandish with its gardens, grounds and various appliances may well be cited as an instance of what can be done by taste skill and perseverance and as a model abode for an English Country Gentleman." He was the principal founder of the nearby St Mary’s Church which opened in 1871. When Charles died in 1873, his son Arthur Hampton Longman (1843–1908) inherited the property. He also inherited a very large fortune which had been accumulated by Charles. Arthur was also in the publishing business but was particularly interested in local public affairs. He was also enthusiastic about many forms of sport including hunting, yachting, shooting and fishing. An article, with photo, was in the publication "Baily's Magazine of Sports and Pastimes". In 1866 he married Alicia Forster, daughter of John Forster of Malverleys, Newbury, Hampshire. However the couple had no children so when Arthur died in 1908 Shendish Manor was inherited by his cousin Thomas Norton Longman (1849–1930) who lived there from 1908. After Longman's father died he became a Director of the Longman publishing firm. The house was used as a British Army camp during World War I. Henry Longman sold the property in 1936 to John Dickinson Stationery who used it as a sports and social club. In 1994 it became a hotel and conference centre.

History Built in the 19th century, the hall benefited from additions by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1914 just before World War I. The hall featured in several episodes of The Avengers in the 1960s. Now owned by a transport software business, it is set in 16 acres of parkland and is Grade II listed. References
Barbrook One

Barbrook One (grid reference SK27857558) is a stone circle on Ramsley Moor in the Peak District. Description "Barbrook No. 1" is an embanked stone circle. It has one large standing stone (1 metre high) and 11 smaller stones (5 cm to 25 cm high). The circle has an internal diameter of about 13 metres, and it is surrounded by a rubble bank 3 metres wide. The stone circle stands in a cairn field on Ramsley Moor. This includes "Barbrook No. 2" which is a ring cairn consisting of a rubble bank with internal diameter 13 metres. It is about 200 metres to the north by northwest of Barbrook 1. All together there are about 80 cairns on Ramsley Moor. The majority are less than 6 metres in diameter. Many are believed to be clearance cairns of later prehistoric date. Some of the larger cairns are likely to be Bronze Age funerary monuments. Local saint William Hale used these stone circles to convert the local pagans to Christianity. The area is a designated Scheduled Ancient Monument. Two kilometres to the north is another stone circle known as "Barbrook No. 3" (or "Barbrook III"). Notes
Brisworthy stone circle

Brisworthy stone circle (grid reference SX564654) is a stone circle on Dartmoor, Devon. It is located three miles east of the A386, northeast of the village of Shaugh Prior. It is three hundred metres from Ringmoor stone row and cairn circle, and is one of the archaeological sites found in the Upper Plym Valley. Description The stone circle is a slight oval shape with a diameter of around 24 metres. It consists of 24 upright stones which are probably only half the original number. The stones are broad rather than tall, and are less than 1 metre tall. Prior to 1909 most of the stones had fallen. It was restored in that year, and a trial excavation is said to have yielded a small amount of charcoal and one rough flint flake.

Steinkreis von Gamelands

Der Steinkreis von Gamelands (auch von Orton oder Raisbeck genannt) liegt östlich der Eisenbahnlinie Knott Lane, auf einem Plateau zwischen Orton und Raisbeck im Osten des Lake District National Park in Cumbria in England. Der Steinkreis südwestlich des Knott Hill soll aus dem Neolithikum stammen. Er besteht aus 43, unter einem Meter hohen Felsbrocken aus lokalem rosa Granit mit Ausnahme eines Kalksteinblocks im Süden. Der ovale Kreis misst etwa 42,0 auf 35,0 Meter und befand sich innerhalb eines Erdwalls. Einige Steine wurden 1862, als das Gelände kultiviert wurde, vergraben oder gesprengt und fehlen im südlichen Bogen. Es ist möglich, dass es eine zentrale Steinkiste gab. In der Nähe liegt der Steinkreis von Gunnerkeld. Literatur John Waterhouse: The Stones Circles of Cumbria. 1986, S. 140–142 Weblinks Beschreibung engl. und Bilder Beschreibung engl. und Bilder
Gamelands stone circle

Gamelands stone circle (or Orton stone circle) is a stone circle at the foot of Knott Hill in Cumbria, England. The stones are mostly made of red granite and some were buried and blasted in 1862. Description Gamelands stone circle (grid reference NY640082) lies between the village of Orton and the hamlet of Raisbeck. It is an oval enclosure of around 40 large stones, all of which have fallen, together with three smaller stones. The stones are set into a slight bank. All of the stones are of pink granite with the exception of one which is limestone. The stones are all below one metre in height and are arranged in an oval of 42 metres by 35 metres. History Around 1862, when the area was ploughed, some of the stones were buried or blasted. Some stones have been taken for a wall to the south. Ploughing uncovered two worked flints and a probable cist-slab. The circle was surveyed in 1966, but it was not easy to tell whether the stones have ever been in a standing position.

Grey Croft stone circle

Grey Croft stone circle is a restored stone circle near Seascale in Cumbria, England (grid reference NY03340238). It is situated near the site of the former nuclear-power stations at Sellafield. Description Grey Croft stone circle is a circle of 12 stones situated south of the Sellafield nuclear site. The circle is about 600 metres (2,000 ft) from the sea. Only 10 of the original 12 stones are currently standing. There is a small outlying stone 21 metres (69 ft) to the north. History The stones in the circle were toppled over and buried in 1820 by a tenant farmer, with the exception of one stone. In 1949 the site was excavated and nine of the stones were located, and replaced as accurately as possible. The excavations uncovered an oval stone cairn situated in the circle centre. Trenching under the cairn revealed charcoal traces, calcined bones, a broken early Bronze Age jet or lignite ring, and flint flakes and scraper. A Great Langdale Late-Neolithic stone axe was found near to the eastern stone of the circle. See also Swinside stone circle, 12 miles to the southeast References
Nine Stones Close

Nine Stones Close ist ein bronzezeitlicher Steinkreis in der Nähe von Birchover in Derbyshire in England. Vier Steine des Steinkreises, der einmal „The grey ladies“ (deutsch „die grauen Damen“) hieß, sind erhalten. Die größten Menhire in Derbyshire stehen in einem Feld auf dem Harthill Moor, westlich des Doll Tor und der Nine Ladies im Stanton Moor. Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts verzeichnete der Antiquar Thomas Bateman (1821–1861) noch sieben aufrecht stehende Steine sowie Funde von Töpferware und Feuerstein. Es gab im Jahre 1877 eine Ausgrabung, die die Steine gestört haben könnte. Heute steht nur noch ein Rechteck aus vier Steinen – die höchsten etwa 2,0 Meter hoch, die einen Kreis von etwa 13,0 m Durchmesser bildeten, wenn es ursprünglich tatsächlich neun Steine waren. Es scheint, dass ein weiterer Stein, als Teil einer Trockenmauer südlich des Kreises, überlebt hat. Legende Es gibt Legenden, die mit dem Kreis verbunden sind: Eine besagt, dass die Steine am Mittag, eine andere, dass sie um Mitternacht tanzen. Eine im 19. Jahrhundert aufgezeichnete berichtet von einem Landarbeiter, der an den Steinen eine Tonpfeife fand. Als er sie rauchte, konnte er durch die Erdoberfläche in der Nähe der Steine in ein Land sehen, das von Feen bewohnt war. Literatur Aubrey Burl: The Stone Circles of the British Isles.

Ringmoor

Die Steinreihe, die Steinkiste und der Steinkreis von Ringmoor sind prähistorische Steinsetzungen in Ringmoor Down im Süden von Devon in England. Sie befinden sich etwa fünf Kilometer östlich der A386, nordöstlich des Dorfes Shaugh Prior und etwa 300 Meter nördlich vom Steinkreis von Brisworthy im oberen Plym-Tal. Beschreibung Der Steinkreis hat etwa 12,6 m Durchmesser und besteht aus elf Steinen. Der gestörte zentrale Cairn hat 9,5 m Durchmesser und ist 0,4 m hoch. Der Cairn-Kreis war zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts zerstört. Es stand nur ein Stein und vier Steine waren umgefallen. Die Positionen von sechs anderen Steinen wurden durch Gruben dargestellt. 1909 wurde der Kreis von Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould auf zweifelhafte Weise restauriert und fünf der heutigen Steine stammen von anderswo. An diesem Kreis beginnt eine fast 350 Meter lange Steinreihe, mit maximal 1,0 Meter hohen Steinen. Die an einigen Stellen doppelt verlaufende Reihe ist ziemlich beschädigt.

Ringmoor stone row and cairn circle

Ringmoor stone row and cairn circle (grid reference SX563658) is a prehistoric stone row and cairn circle on Ringmoor Down in Devon. It is located three miles east of the A386, northeast of the village of Shaugh Prior. It is three hundred metres north from Brisworthy stone circle, and is one of the archaeological sites found in the Upper Plym Valley. Description The stone row is 356 metres long. It is mainly single, but is double in parts. At the southern end is a cairn circle with a diameter of 12.6 metres. The central cairn is 9.5 metres in diameter and has a height of 0.4 metres. A standing stone terminates the stone row at the northern end. Many of the stones in the stone row are missing, and have clearly been robbed for use elsewhere. The cairn circle had also been robbed, and at the beginning of the 20th century there was only one stone standing, with four fallen and the presumed sites of six other stones represented by pits. In 1909 the circle was restored and five of the present stones were introduced from elsewhere.

St Aldhelm’s Chapel

Die St Aldhelm’s Chapel ist eine normannische Kapelle auf St Alban’s Head in der Pfarrei Worth Matravers auf der Isle of Purbeck, in der Grafschaft Dorset, an der Südküste von England. Die ungewöhnliche Form und Ausrichtung der St Aldhelm’s Chapel deutet darauf hin, dass sie zunächst nicht als Kirche, sondern für einen anderen Zweck, etwa als Wachtturm erbaut wurde. Sie ist ein schmuckloser quadratischer Bruchsteinbau mit flachem Pyramidendach. Die Wände werden von ausladenden Stützmauern stabilisiert. Das Portal ist mit einem romanischen Doppelrundbogen hervorgehoben. Das Innere ist durch einen Mittelpfeiler gegliedert, von dem die vier Kreuzrippengewölbe ausgehen. Die Kapelle ist dem heiligen Aldhelm, Bischof von Sherborne, gewidmet, der im Jahr 709 starb. Sie könnte Anfang des zwölften Jahrhunderts gebaut worden sein. Zu Beginn des 17. Jahrhunderts wurde sie aufgegeben, Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts restauriert und wieder in gottesdienstlichen Gebrauch genommen. Worth Matravers, der Sitz der Pfarrei, ist ein kleines Dorf circa sechs Kilometer westlich von Swanage und fünf Kilometer südlich von Corfe Castle. St Aldhelm’s Chapel steht in einem niedrigen Ringwall circa zwei Kilometer vom Dorfzentrum entfernt. Weblinks Einzelnachweise
107 Piccadilly

107 Piccadilly is a Grade-II listed building on Piccadilly and Lena Street in Manchester, England. Situated near Piccadilly Gardens, it was originally built as a packing warehouse and showroom with offices for cotton manufacturer Sparrow Hardwick & Company. It was designed by influential Mancunian architect Charles Henry Heathcote in a Jacobean-Baroque style. The building was completed in 1899. The exterior consists of red sandstone and red brick. The five-storey building has a central gable on the front façade reminiscent of Jacobean architecture. The use of arched and square windows give the building a playful appearance. The building gained Grade-II listing in 1974. It has since been converted to an Abode Hotel and restaurant. See also Listed buildings in Manchester-M1 References
49 Belgrave Square

49 Belgrave Square is a Grade II* listed house in Belgrave Square, Belgravia, London. The mansion was finished in 1851, designed by Thomas Cubitt. In 1859, Mayhew & Knight built the entrance and added the octagonal lobby. It was originally known as the "Independent North Mansion". The first owner, Sidney Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Lea, named it "Belgrave Villa" but it was colloquial called Herbert House. His son, Sidney Herbert, 14th Earl of Pembroke, was born there in 1853. Following Lord Herbert's death in 1861, the lease of 49 Belgrave Square was acquired by Charles Gordon-Lennox, 6th Duke of Richmond in May 1862. The house remained the residence of the Duke of Richmond and his family for the remainder of the nineteenth century; following the Duke's death in 1903, the lease of the house was sold in January 1904. At the time of the sale, the lease had a remaining term of 16 years, with a ground rent payable of £150 annually for the house and £40 annually for the associated stabling. The house was subsequently acquired by Alfred Beit, and his brother Sir Otto Beit inherited it in 1906. His son Sir Alfred Beit, 2nd Baronet, grew up there and on his father's death in 1930 inherited the house, together with his large art collection. He relocated to Kensington Palace Gardens, and sold the house in 1936. The building was acquired by Argentina in 1936, and has since been used as that country's Ambassador's official London residence. It has been opened to the public on one weekend a year since 2006, as part of Open House London, which notes the "sumptuous interiors still intact". During the Second World War, the house became a meeting place and haven for Argentines who volunteered in the British forces, mostly as pilots.

Batalha de Stoke Field

A Batalha de Stoke Field em 16 de junho de 1487 pode ser considerada a última batalha da Guerra das Rosas, uma vez que foi o último grande confronto entre candidatos ao trono cujas reivindicações derivavam da descendência das casas de Lencastre e Iorque, respectivamente. A Batalha de Bosworth Field, dois anos antes, havia estabelecido o rei Henrique VII. no trono, encerrando o governo iorquista e iniciando o dos Tudors. A Batalha de Stoke Field foi uma tentativa de destituí-lo em favor do pretendente Lambert Simnel. Referências
Slaget vid Stoke Field

Slaget vid Stoke Field, som ägde rum 16 juni 1487, var det sista slaget under Rosornas krig (som andra menar redan hade tagit slut i och med slaget vid Bosworth Field och Henrik VII:s trontillträde.) Henrik VII innehade nu tronen, för huset Lancasters räkning och hade vunnit erkännande från den yorkistiska sidan genom äktenskapet med deras arvtagare Elizabeth av York, men hans grepp om makten var inte helt säkert. Den överlevande manliga person från den yorkiska dynastin som hade störst anspråk på tronen var drottningens kusin, Edvard, earl av Warwick (son till George Plantagenet, hertig av Clarence). Pojken hölls inspärrad i Towern, men en bedragare vid namn Lambert Simnel upptäcktes av John de la Pole, 1:e earl av Lincoln. Lincoln, som tycktes ha enats med Tudorkungen, hade dock egna anspråk på tronen eftersom den siste Plantagenet-kungen, Rikard III, hade utsett honom till tronarvinge. Även om han troligtvis inte var omedveten om Simnels sanna identitet. såg Lincoln en möjlighet till hämnd. Tillsammans med Rikard III:s mest lojale anhängare, lord Lovell, krönte han bedragaren som "Kung Edvard VI" i Dublin och rebellarmén, som bestod av en blandning av burgundiska legosoldater och oerfarna, illa utrustade män, tågade in i England via Lancashire. Henriks armé som marscherade mot Newark, mötte rebellerna redan vid floden Trent. Rebellerna var fler än den kungliga armén och de burgundiska legoknektarna var erfarna krigare. De orsakade stora förluster hos kungens trupper, men besegrades. Lincoln dödades i striden och Lovell drunknade troligtvis i Trent. Simnel tillfångatogs, men benådades av kungen som en barmhärtighetsgest som inte skadade hans rykte.

Битва при Стоук-Філд

Битва при Стоук-Філд відбулася 16 червня 1487 року біля села Стоук, Ноттінгемшир. Армія Генріха VII Тюдора вщент розгромила бунтівних йоркістів під командою Джона де ла Поля, який прагнув посадити на престол самозванця Ламберта Сімнелла. Ця тригодинна битва стала останньою в тридцятилітньому протистоянні Йорків і Ланкастерів за англійську корону, відомому як Війні Білої та Червоної троянд. Передумова Генріх VII з Англії займав престол для нової королівської лінії (дом Тюдорів) і намагався отримати визнання йоркістської фракції своїм шлюбом з їхньою спадкоємицею Єлизаветою Йоркською, але його утримання при владі не було цілком надійним. Головним претендентом на династію Йорків був двоюрідний брат королеви Едуард, граф Уорік, син Джорджа, герцога Кларенса. Цього хлопчика тримали в лондонському Тауері. Самозванець, який видавав себе за Едварда (або Едуарда, графа Ворвіка, або Едуарда V, як припускає Метью Льюїс), на ім'я Ламберт Сімнел, привернув увагу Джона де ла Поула, графа Лінкольна через священика на ім'я Річард Симондс. Хоча Лінкольн, очевидно, примирився з королем Тюдорів, сам претендував на трон; крім того, останній Плантагенет, Річард III, король Англії, призначив Лінкольна, свого племінника, королівським спадкоємцем. Хоча він, ймовірно, не сумнівався щодо справжньої особи Сімнела, Лінкольн побачив можливість для помсти та відшкодування. Примітки Посилання Дмитро Копилов. Битва на Стоук-філд

Moor House

Moor House is a large office building on London Wall in Moorgate, located in the City of London. It is located on the northern edge of the financial district and is one of the largest buildings in the area, standing 84 metres (276 ft) tall and with 29,000 square metres (310,000 sq ft) of floor space. Completed in 2004, it was the first building to be designed for the forthcoming Crossrail, with a ventilation shaft to the station underneath the building. When built, it had the deepest foundations in London, which reach down 57 metres (187 ft) and are specifically designed to withstand further tunneling below it in the future. The building cost £182 million to construct and was designed by Sir Norman Foster. Tenants include CLSA, Unicredit, Peel Hunt, TT International. History The site was previously home to a 1960s modernist office block. A postmodern redevelopment proposal was made in 1991 by Terry Farrell and Partners, the firm that designed the nearby Alban Gate. In April 1999 the building was involved in a dispute over whether it should be granted planning permission. Redevelopment of the area A number of other large buildings are being planned on sites nearby. These include a 43-storey, 140-metre (460 ft) residential tower at Milton Court. A 90-metre (300 ft) office tower at Ropemaker Place is also being developed by British Land.
