St Mary's Church, Micheldever

St Mary's Church is an Anglican church in Micheldever, Hampshire, England. It is in the Diocese of Winchester. The building, which is Grade II* listed, is unusual for its octagonal nave. Description The oldest parts of the church, the west bay of the nave next to the tower, date from the 13th century. The tower was built in the mid 16th century. Nave The brick-built octagonal nave, designed by George Dance the Younger, was built in 1808; it was commissioned by Francis Baring, 1st Baronet, who acquired the manor of Micheldever in 1801. It was based on Dance's design for the Church of St Bartholomew the Less in London. Nicholas Pevsner, in his Architectural Guide for Winchester and North Hampshire, described the exterior of the church as "arresting, a shockingly odd and nakedly unadorned composition of three separate parts, not a little strange in its rural setting". Chancel The chancel and pointed chancel arch date from the 1880s. There are monuments to members of the Baring family in the chancel; the monument to Harriet Baring (died 1804), wife of Sir Francis, was created by John Flaxman and erected in 1806. Memorials There is a plaque commemorating Henri de Massue, Earl of Galway (1648–1720) on the south wall of the tower. He died nearby in East Stratton and was buried in the churchyard, but it is not known where. There is a plaque in memory of Vice Admiral Sir Norman Denning (1904–1979) on the south wall; he was a churchwarden here and is buried in the churchyard. Bells There are six bells in the tower. Five date from 1703; in 1903 three of these were recast, and a sixth bell was added. References

Corn Exchange, Winchester

The Corn Exchange, also known as The Arc, is a commercial building in Jewry Street in Winchester, Hampshire, England. The structure, which is currently used as a cultural hub, is a Grade II* listed building. History In the mid-1830s, a group of local businessmen decided to form a private company, known as the "Winchester Corn Exchange Company", to finance and commission a corn exchange for the town. The site they selected was open ground which had been occupied by a garden known as "Forstersplace" in the 15th century. The new building was designed by Owen Browne Carter in the Italianate style, built in yellow brick with stone dressings at a cost of £4,000 and was completed in 1838. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of eleven bays facing onto Jewry Street with the end bays projected forward as pavilions. The central section of three bays featured a portico formed by four Tuscan order columns supporting an entablature, a cornice with wide eaves and a modillioned pediment. The wings were fenestrated by round headed windows with voussoirs and, at roof level, there was a central bell turret. The portico was modelled on that designed by Inigo Jones for St Paul Covent Garden. Describing the front of the building, The Gentleman's Magazine said that Carter had "endeavored to avoid the flimsy effect of the modern Grecian school, and to keep in view the more legitimate style of design inculcated by Palladio in Italy, and at home by our own countrymen, Jones and Wren." The use of the building as a corn exchange declined significantly in the wake of the Great Depression of British Agriculture in the late 19th century. It was converted for use as a roller-skating rink in 1906, as a theatre in 1915 and then as a cinema in 1917. After that, it became a dance hall in 1922, a cinema again in 1933 and finally a public library in 1936. Hampshire County Council took over management of the building in 1974. A major programme of works, costing £7 million, to convert the building into a "Discovery Centre" was completed in February 2008. The works involved the creation of an exhibition room on the ground floor. The building was officially re-opened by Duchess of Cornwall on 21 February 2008. A further programme of refurbishment works, costing £715,000, leading to the re-branding of the building as a "Cultural Hub" was completed in February 2022. Space in the building was reconfigured to make more space for exhibitions on the mezzanine floor, but the library continued to occupy most space. The Hampshire Cultural Trust took over the management of the building, which was re-branded as "The Arc", at that time.

Stock Gaylard House

Stock Gaylard House is a country house near Lydlinch, and about 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Sturminster Newton, in Dorset, England. It is Grade II* listed. The house, dating from the early 18th century, is on an estate of about 1,800 acres (730 ha); this includes a deer park which is thought to have been created in the 13th century. History The Domesday Book of 1086 recorded that the tenant-in-chief of Stock Gaylard was William of Eu, and that the lord of the manor was Hugh Maltravers. There were eleven households in the village. The 1332 subsidy roll recorded that there were five householders who were taxpayers. From 1585 the property was owned by the Lewys family. The present house is thought to date from the early 18th century. In 1773, on the death of John Farr, brother-in-law of Charles Lewys, his daughter Theophila inherited the estate; in 1779 she married John Berkeley Burland (1754–1804), son of Sir John Burland. His family owned the manor of Steyning, and from 1802 he was MP for Totnes. He had the house remodelled and enlarged westwards. Owners of the estate during the 19th century included Henry Farr Yeatman, who created a larger estate, and Huyshe Yeatman-Biggs, who became Bishop of Worcester in 1905. There were further additions to the house in the 1880s during his tenure. Description The house has rubble walls, with external rendering. The east front is symmetrical, having a pedimented central pavilion of three bays, flanked on each side by two bays. The central door has stone pilasters supporting a dentilled pediment. There are two storeys, and an attic above. The estate is about 1,800 acres (730 ha), of which about 300 acres (120 ha) is woodland. Glamping sites are available on the estate. A license to empark deer was granted in 1268, and it is thought that a herd has been here since that time. The size of the deer park is about 80 acres (32 ha). There are about 120 adult deer, with about thirty fawns being born each year. References External links Media related to Stock Gaylard House at Wikimedia Commons

Lady-Godiva-Reiterstatue

Die Lady-Godiva-Reiterstatue, im Vereinigten Königreich oft Self Sacrifice (Selbstaufopferung) genannt, ist ein von dem schottischen Bildhauer William Reid Dick geschaffenes Denkmal, das Lady Godiva auf einem Pferd sitzend darstellt. Die Statue steht in Broadgate, dem Stadtzentrum von Coventry in England. Geschichte Die Statue, die 1936 von dem ortsansässigen Geschäftsmann William Bassett-Green in Auftrag gegeben wurde, verzögerte sich aufgrund des Zweiten Weltkriegs erheblich und wurde schließlich 1949 fertiggestellt. Die Kosten beliefen sich auf 20.000 £. Vor einer großen Menschenmenge in Broadgate wurde die Statue von Peggy Zinsser Douglas, der Ehefrau des damaligen amerikanischen Botschafters Lewis Williams Douglas, am 22. Oktober 1949 enthüllt. Sie sollte der Mittelpunkt von Broadgate werden und war ursprünglich dem Uhrturm des Broadgate House zugewandt. Die Statue wurde 1990 um 90 Grad gedreht, dem Eingang zum oberen Kirchhof zugewendet und stand dadurch auf einer Achse zwischen dem unteren Kirchhof und der Coventry Cathedral. Am 15. April 1998 wurde die Statue unter dem Namen Lady Godiva Statue mit der Nummer 1031589 in die Liste des National Heritage Memorial Fund aufgenommen. Beschreibung Die etwa lebensgroße aus Bronze gefertigte Skulptur zeigt Lady Godiva, die auf einem Damensattel auf einem Pferd sitzt. Ihre Beine sind auf der linken Seite des Pferdes gespreizt gehalten. Sie ist gänzlich unbekleidet, lediglich ihre langen Haare verdecken geringfügig ihre Blöße. Mit ihrer Nacktheit wollte sie erreichen, dass ihr Ehemann ungerechtfertigt erhobene Steuern senken solle, was auch gelang. Das Pferd hat den rechten Vorderhuf leicht angehoben. Das Reiterdenkmal steht auf einem massiven rechteckigen Sockel aus Portland-Stein. Er ist mit auskragendem Hohlkehlprofil, einem Podest mit Hohlkehl- und Wulstprofilen an der Basis und abgeschrägten Seiten versehen. Der Sockel trägt auf allen vier Seiten Inschriften mit Passagen aus Alfred Lord Tennysons Gedicht „Godiva“ sowie eine Widmung von William Bassett-Green zu Ehren von Lady Godiva und der Bevölkerung von Coventry.

Self Sacrifice (statue)

Self Sacrifice, better known as the Lady Godiva statue is an equestrian statue of Lady Godiva in Broadgate, Coventry. The statue is bronze, on a plinth of Portland stone. History The statue was initially commissioned in 1936 by William Bassett-Green, a wealthy local businessman but it was 1940 before a scale model had been produced by the sculptor, Sir William Reid Dick. Reid Dick worked through the Second World War to produce a full scale model of the statue. After the war the statue was cast and placed on a plinth influenced by Sir Edwin Lutyens, before finally being unveiled by Peggy Z. Douglas on the 22nd of October 1949. The statue was adorned with the flags of the United Kingdom and the United States as Mrs Douglas was the wife of the American Ambassador, Lewis Williams Douglas. The statue was initially installed facing south, but was rotated to face west in 1989 during the construction of the Cathedral Lanes Shopping Centre. A canopy was erected over the statue at the same time, which was removed in 2008. Design The statue depicts Lady Godiva on her naked ride through the city to protest her husband’s oppressive taxes. The plinth is inscribed with passages from Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem Godiva along with a dedication from William Bassett-Green to Lady Godiva and the people of Coventry.

Statua equestre di Lady Godiva

La Statua equestre di Lady Godiva, il cui titolo ufficiale è Self Sacrifice ("Sacrificio di sé"), è un monumento equestre situato a Broadgate, una piazza di Coventry. La statua è fatta di bronzo ed è eretta su un piedistallo di pietra di Portland. Storia La statua venne commissionata nel 1936 da William Bassett-Green, un uomo d'affari molto ricco di Coventry, ma si dovette aspettare il 1940 prima lo scultore Sir William Reid Dick realizzasse un primo modello in scala, anche se il volto di questa prima versione non piacque ai coventriani. Reid Dick lavorò a un modello a grandezza naturale nel corso della seconda guerra mondiale. A guerra finita, la statua venne fusa e posta su un piedistallo, progettato da Sir Edwin Luytens, per poi essere svelata al pubblico da Peggy Z. Douglas il 22 ottobre del 1949. La statua era adornata con le bandiere del Regno Unito e degli Stati Uniti, dato che la signora Douglas era la moglie dell'ambasciatore statunitense, Lewis Williams Douglas. Inizialmente la statua era rivolta verso sud, ma nel 1989 venne ruotata verso ovest durante la costruzione del centro commerciale Cathedral Lanes. Nello stesso periodo venne installata una tettoia sopra la statua, che venne rimossa nel 2008. Descrizione La statua ritrae Lady Godiva nel corso della sua cavalcata senza veli per le strade della città come forma di protesta contro le tasse del marito che opprimevano la popolazione. Per la figura di Godiva Reid Dick fece posare varie modelle per varie parti del corpo: il volto della nobildonna anglosassone è quello di una sua amica, Rosanne Smelling, mentre le sue braccia sono state modellate basandosi su quelle di due donne statunitensi, tali Katie Best e Katie Hillyer. Secondo Katie Hillyer, anche la moglie e la figlia di Reid Dick avrebbero posato per quest'opera. Sullo zoccolo sono riportati dei passaggi dal poema Godiva di Lord Alfred Tennyson, come pure una dedica di William Bassett-Green dedicata a Lady Godiva e al popolo coventriano.
