Widmerpool Hall

Widmerpool Hall is a Grade II listed English country house in Widmerpool, Nottinghamshire. Situated on the north side of the village, it was built in 1872 for Major George Coke Robertson to the designs of Henry Clutton. This neo-Gothic manor house was constructed of Bath and Clipsham stone. It has an Italianate, gargoyle adorned clock-tower without a clock; the space for the clock was left blank out of respect for Robertson's recently deceased wife. It remained a private residence until the breakup of the estate in the 1950s. For several decades at the end of the twentieth century, it was the headquarters of The Automobile Association Patrol Service Training School, popularly known as 'The AA Academy'. British Pathé recorded some of the activities there in 'The AA Story', in 1967. Between 2008 and 2010 it underwent extensive renovation for residential purposes; and this has provided 9 apartments, 11 mews style houses and 4 detached houses. The hall is grade II listed.

Chapel of Rest, Brompton, Scarborough

The Chapel of Rest, Brompton Cemetery, Brompton, Scarborough, in North Yorkshire, England is an early work by the ecclesiastical architect Temple Moore. It is a Grade II listed building. History In 1880, the newly-appointed vicar of All Saints, Brompton-by-Sawdon, the Rev. Francis Chambers, instigated a series of improvements to the church, including the closure of its original churchyard, and its replacement by a new cemetery. The construction of a chapel of rest in the new cemetery was financed by Sir George Cayley, the local squire, resident at Brompton Hall. Cayley's architect was Temple Lushington Moore, then aged 33, whose subsequent career saw him design about 40 new churches, and restore many more, becoming "England's leading ecclesiastical architect from the mid-Edwardian years". Architecture and description The chapel comprises a broad gable facing the cemetery, with an asymmetrical bell tower ending in a pyramidal roof. Pevsner, in his Yorkshire: The North Riding volume, records its "wonderfully lopsided" appearance, but does not attribute the chapel to Moore. The chapel was designated a Grade II listed building on 3 September 2019. Footnotes References Sources Pevsner, Nikolaus (1966). Yorkshire: The North Riding. The Buildings of England.

Wigborough Manor House

Wigborough Manor House is a manor house in South Petherton, Somerset, England. It was partly built in 1585, although it was never completed to the original designs and was subsequently modified. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building. The estate was shared by members of the Brome Family from 1581 to 1615, when it passed to the family of Hele of Flete, who held it for most of the 17th century. The house is built of local hamstone with Welsh slate roofs. The core the house consists of a screens passage with a gallery above it. When the house was built, there was a projecting garderobe turret; however, this has since been removed. Dendochronology of the wood forming the tie-beam and collar-beam trusses of the roof has shown that a construction date of 1585 is more likely than the previous estimates, which suggested an earlier date. A two-storey house in the grounds was originally a brewhouse or dairy. It was built in the 19th century. There is also a former coach house from the 18th century. The cider house includes cellars and a loft. There are also various barns and stables, part of which dates from 1765. The boundary wall has sections which date from the 16th century; however, much of it was rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Vaux Park Polo Club has its headquarters at Wigborough Manor.

Вигморский замок

Вигмор — замок в Англии, в графстве Херефордшир, основанный в XI веке. Был главной резиденцией Мортимеров. История Замок Вигмор был основан сразу после нормандского завоевания Англии (предположительно около 1067 года) Уильямом Фиц-Осберном, 1-м графом Херефорд. Он был построен расположен недалеко от англо-валлийской границы и входил в цепь замков, построенных для защиты Англии от нападения валлийцев. Первоначальный замок был построен как классический мотт и бейли, имел деревянные стены поверх больших земляных валов. После смерти Уильяма Фиц-Осберна замок перешёл к семье Мортимеров, владевшей им до начала XV века. Эти владельцы построили в XII — начале XIII вв. каменный замок. До нашего времени из построек этого времени сохранились внутренняя часть сторожки и восточная башня D-образной формы. Строительные работы проводились в замке и в XIV—XV веках. До 1-й четверти XIV века замок оставался главной резиденцией Мортимеров, но после казни в 1330 году Роджера Мортимера, 1-го графа Марча он был конфискован. Хотя в конце XIV века Вигморский замок возвратили Мортимеров, он утратил былое значение, а главной резиденцией рода стал замок Ладлоу. В XV веке замок перешёл к короне. В 1601 году его купил представитель рода Харли. После Английской революции Вигмор оказался на несколько веков в запустении, но средневековый замок остался практически нетронутым. В настоящее время замок зарос деревьями. В 1990-е годы компания Английское наследие намеренно сохранила такой дикий вид, поскольку Вигмор стал прибежищем для ряда редких и необычных видов животных. В замке дважды проводились археологические раскопки, после чего он был законсервирован. Примечания Ссылки Wigmore Castle (англ.). English Heritage. Дата обращения: 5 июля 2022.

Wilberforce House

Wilberforce House is a British historic house museum, part of the Museums Quarter of Kingston upon Hull. It is the birthplace of social reformer William Wilberforce (1759–1833), who used his time as a member of Parliament to work for the abolition of slavery throughout the British Empire, which had not been thoroughly stymied by the Abolition of Slave Trade Act 1807. Like the nearby Blaydes House and Maister House, also on the High Street, the Grade I listed building was formerly a merchant's house with access to quayside on the River Hull. Description The house is now a museum showcasing the life and work of one of Hull's most famous sons. The museum re-opened on 25 March 2007, after a two-year £1.6 million redevelopment, in time for the 200th anniversary of Wilberforce's Act of Parliament abolishing the slave trade in the British Empire. The front garden, named after Nelson Mandela, contains a statue of Wilberforce which underwent a £10,000 restoration in 2011. The statue was designated a Grade II* structure in 1994 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England. Adjoining the site is Oriel Chambers, the home of the University of Hull's Wilberforce Institute for the Study of Slavery and Emancipation, which conducts research into historic and contemporary forms of slavery. The house also exhibits the East Yorkshire regimental collection. The house was forced to close in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, taking the opportunity to refresh its offer and undertake vital repairs. The building reopened to the public in May 2023. In popular media In the 2023 Netflix miniseries Bodies, Wilberforce House stood in as Harker House, the home of the main antagonist. References External links Official site Historic England.

Wilder's Folly

Wilder's Folly (also known as Pincent's Kiln, Nunhide Tower and Flint's Folly) is a folly and dovecote at Nunhide, near the village of Sulham in the English county of Berkshire. History The brick tower or belvedere on Nunhide Hill was built in 1769 by Reverend Henry Wilder (1744–1814) while he was courting Joan Thoyts (c. 1748–1837), younger sister of John Thoyts of Sulhamstead House. Wilder constructed the tower so that it could be seen from Thoyts' home as well as from his own residence, Sulham House. Sulham House can still be seen through the south arch of Wilder's Folly looking north, but Sulhamstead House is no longer visible from the top of the hill. Wilder and Thoyts were married on 13 June 1769, and had eleven children. The building featured an open ground-level arcade. The painted first floor room was accessed by an exterior wooden staircase. The two floors above ground level featured glazed ogive windows. The castellated top contained a flat lead roof. In the late 19th century the building's windows were bricked up and the tower became a dovecote. Footnotes Sources External links Media related to Wilder's Folly at Wikimedia Commons
Wildern School

Wildern School is an 11–16 mixed secondary school with academy status in Hedge End, Hampshire, England. It was formerly a foundation school that was established in 1933 and became an academy in 2011. History Wildern School was a foundation school that was established in 1933 and became an academy in 2011. It became a multi-academy trust in 2018. In 2016, the school made national news when police were called because a student had viewed the UK Independence Party website and an English Defence League video. The school said it had called 101 for advice, acting in line with extremism guidelines, and was referred to a specialist team who made the decision to arrange a meeting with the student and their parent. No further action was taken. School performance In 2012, the school was inspected by Ofsted, with a judgement of 'Outstanding'. As of 2022, the school's most recent Ofsted inspection was in 2022. The report gave the school a judgement of 'Requires improvement'. It was noted that some pupils felt unsafe at school because of the behaviour of other pupils, including bullying behaviour. The report said pupils raised concerns about "discriminatory language becoming normalised among groups of their peers". In a 2012 report, the school was identified by Ofsted as an example of good practice in the way it teaches modern languages. The school's Progress 8 benchmark at GCSE in 2019 was above average. The percentage of students at the school entered for the English Baccalaureate was lower than average. The percentage of children achieving Grade 5 or above in English and maths GCSEs was above average. References External links Official website Wildern Leisure Centre
Wilford Suspension Bridge

Wilford Suspension Bridge, also known as Meadows Suspension Bridge, It is a combined suspension footbridge for pedestrians and cyclists, and aqueduct which crosses the River Trent, linking the town of West Bridgford to the Meadows, in the city of Nottingham, England. It also carries a gas main. The bridge is owned by Severn Trent Water. It should not be confused with the separate Wilford Toll Bridge. There is no public right of way along the bridge, and so it can be closed by Severn Trent Water whenever it is deemed expedient to do so. It is a Grade II listed structure. History The bridge was designed by the engineer Arthur Brown, of Elliott & Brown (Civil and Structural Engineering Consultancy). The plans were drawn up by Frank Beckett Lewis, the City Architect. It was constructed by the Nottingham Corporation Water Department at a cost of £8,871 (equivalent to £860,000 in 2025), with the principal purpose of carrying water to Wilford Hill reservoir. Responsibility for the bridge was transferred from the Nottingham Corporation Water Department to the Severn Trent Water Authority in April 1974, upon the reorganisation of the water industry in England and Wales, and subsequently to Severn Trent Water in 1989 prior to the privatisation of the water industry. Following a restoration in 1983, the bridge was closed to pedestrians in July 2008 for a major restoration, following reports of falling debris. It re-opened on 12 February 2010 after a £1.9m refurbishment.

Willaston Old Hall

Willaston Old Hall is a former manor house in the village of Willaston, in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester, England. The building carries the date 1558, but both the authors of the Buildings of England series, and Figueirdo and Treuherz, argue that this date is too early for the architectural style of the house. Figueirdo and Treuherz are of the opinion that it was built in the early 17th century for Hugh Bennet. The house is constructed in red brick and stands on a red sandstone plinth. It has sandstone dressings and quoins, and a slate roof with stone ball finials. The entrance front is symmetrical, and consists of five bays, with three storeys. The central and the outer bays project forward and are gabled. The windows are mullioned and transomed. The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.

Willesden Traction Maintenance Depot

Willesden Traction Maintenance Depot (TMD) is a railway locomotive and electric multiple unit traction maintenance depot, situated in Harlesden, north London. The depot is situated next to the West Coast Main Line, to the south-east of Willesden Junction station and on the way into London Euston station. The depot code is WN. History The original locomotive servicing facility at Willesden was on the south side of the West Coast Main Line to the west of the station. It closed in 1965. It was replaced by the present facility that opened in March 1965. After the privatisation of British Rail, it was operated by Silverlink. In November 2016 it was taken over by Bombardier as part of its 35 year contract to maintain the Class 710s. Shed layout The current depot was designed in the 1960s to service electric locomotive classes AL1 to AL6 (TOPS classes 81, 82, 83, 84, 85 and 86); subsequently, in the early 1970s, Class 87s were included. It consists of six parallel shed roads, each holding four locomotives inside the shed, and several arrivals and departure sidings externally. There is also a road that runs round to the north of the shed, which provides access to the fuel siding; for many years, this was used only for the occasional fuelling of diesel shunters and also to the DC lines of Willesden Junction Low Level station, which is used to move multiple units from the shed onto the North London Line after servicing. The arrival and departure sidings contain two connections to the West Coast Main Line onto the up slow line. At the east end of the depot, there is a trailing crossover to permit access onto the down slow line when coming off depot. Facilities These include offices, a workshop and reasonably large stores. The workshop contains high quality facilities for pantograph overhaul, tap-changer overhaul and brake equipment test and servicing. In more recent years, especially since the loss of AC electric locomotives, the fuel siding was promoted to other train operators as a facility at Willesden and a means to generate some revenue, this meant for instance that Gospel Oak to Barking line DMUs did not need to travel to Bletchley TMD and back each night for 'A' examinations and fuelling which could instead be carried out at Willesden.
