St Eanswith's Church, Brenzett

St Eanswith's Church is a Grade II* listed Anglican church in the village of Brenzett, Kent, about 7 miles (11 km) north-east of Rye, East Sussex. A church was originally built on this site in the 7th century; the present building dates from the 12th century and has later modifications. Saint Eanswith The church is dedicated to Saint Eanswith; she was an Anglo-Saxon princess, a granddaughter of king Æthelberht of Kent (who was converted to Christianity by Augustine of Canterbury), and daughter of king Eadbald of Kent who reigned from 616 to 640. She was born about 630, and it is believed that she was the abbess of a nunnery at Folkestone. Medieval church The oldest parts of the church, the nave and chancel, date from the 12th century, when the original Saxon church was replaced. There were extensions in subsequent years: the north chapel and north aisle was built in the 13th century; the nave was extended to the west in the 14th century. A small spire, which has wood shingles, was built in the 14th century; to support it, a wooden frame was built, and buttresses built outside. Later additions There are three bells: a tenor bell of 1420, a treble by John Wilnar in 1630, and a middle bell by Thomas Palmar in 1699. There was some restoration of the church in the 19th century, and the east window by Lavers, Barraud and Westlake was installed in 1874. The chancel was largely rebuilt in 1902. In the north chapel is a monument to John Fagge, who died in 1639, and his son John, who died in 1646. This monument inspired E. Nesbit's 1887 short story "Man-Size in Marble".

Butler's Retreat

Butler's Retreat is a Grade II listed building at Rangers Road, Chingford, London E4. Originally a barn thought to have been built in the early 19th century, it is one of the few remaining Victorian retreats within the forest. The building is very close to Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge and takes its name from its 1891 occupier, John Butler. Retreats originally served non-alcoholic refreshments as part of the Temperance movement. After closing in 2009, the building was refurbished by the City of London Corporation and re-opened as a cafe in 2012. References

Chingford United Reformed Church

Chingford United Reformed Church is a Grade II listed United Reformed Church at Buxton Road, Chingford, in the London Borough of Waltham Forest. History The original Congregational church in Chingford was founded in 1888, initially meeting at a café in Station Road called the Victoria Coffee Palace. A plot of land was bought by the church in 1889 and a temporary corrugated iron building, or "tin tabernacle" was erected on the site. In 1890, a church hall was opened, named Spicer Hall after James Spicer, a benefactor. The architect of the hall was Rowland Plumbe; it was eventually sold by the church and converted into apartments in 2004. In 1910, the new church was constructed; the architects were John Diggle Mould and his younger brother Samuel Joseph Mould, who were Primitive Methodists from Manchester that specialised in Nonconformist church buildings. Description Of red brick with stone banding, the west frontage facing Buxton Road has a triple entrance under a large Perpendicular Gothic window, leaded in the Art Nouveau style. A tower with pinnacles and a copper clad spire stands on the right of the front. Internally, a foyer below a gallery gives entry to a square nave, made octagonal by stone arches in the corners. A stone screen under a large arch divide the nave from a polygonal sanctuary. References

Laing Art Gallery

Die Laing Art Gallery ist eine Galerie in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Geschichte Trotz einer recht aktiven Künstlerszene gab es in Newcastle bis ins späte 19. Jahrhundert keine Kunstgalerie. 1900 bot Alexander Laing, ein wohlhabender Weinhändler aus Newcastle, der Stadt eine Spende von (geschätzten) 20.000 Pfund für den Bau einer Galerie an. Entworfen wurde sie von den lokalen Architekten Cackett und Burns Dick. Ein Platz für eine mögliche Galerie war schon vor der Spende ausersehen worden, und so nahm der Stadtrat die Spende an, trotz Gegenstimmen wegen der ungünstigen Verkehrslage des Platzes. Bis zur Eröffnung im Jahr 1904 sollte der Bau 30.000 Pfund kosten. Es gab nicht, wie sonst oft der Fall, private Mäzene, die aus ihren Sammlungen Kunstwerke für die Galerie spendeten. Daher musste der erste Kurator, C. Bernard Stevenson, um einzelne Leihgaben und Spenden bitten. Für die Eröffnungsausstellung konnte er so 400 Objekte zusammenbekommen. 1996 wurde ein Seitenflügel angebaut, durch den die Galerie an eine größere Straße angrenzt und somit vom Stadtzentrum aus besser seh- und erreichbar ist. 2004 wurde das Galeriegebäude renoviert. Bis heute hatte die Laing Art Gallery fünf Kuratoren: C. Bernard Stevenson, dessen Sohn Collingwood Stevenson, John Millard, Andrew Greg und, seit Mai 2001, Julie Milne. Gegenwart Die Laing Art Gallery hat eine Sammlung hauptsächlich britischer Gemälde vom 18. Jahrhundert bis heute, mit einem Schwerpunkt auf lokalen Künstlern. Die Sammlung umfasst insgesamt etwa 1000 Gemälde, 4000 Aquarelle, 5000 Drucke, 100 Skulpturen und 7000 Kunsthandwerk-Objekte. Die wichtigsten vertretenen Künstler sind John Martin, Holman Hunt, Edward Coley Burne-Jones, Paul Gauguin, Stanley Spencer, Joshua Reynolds und Laura Knight. Im Obergeschoss der Galerie befinden sich vier Räume, die für Sonderausstellungen und Ausstellungen aus der eigenen Sammlung genutzt werden. In den Lünetten dieser Räume sind Gemälde ortsansässiger Künstler, die Szenen aus der Geschichte der Stadt darstellen, zu sehen. Im Erdgeschoss befindet sich die Dauerausstellung „Art on Tyneside“ (Kunst am Ufer des Tyne), sowie ein Café. Außerdem gibt es ein hauptsächlich auf Kinder ausgerichtetes Lernzentrum zum Thema Kunst, den „All About Art Room“. Die „Marble Hall“, die ehemalige Eingangshalle der Galerie, beherbergt eine Skulpturenausstellung, unter anderem auch eine Büste von Alexander Laing. Im neuen Flügel befinden sich der Eingangsbereich und die Rezeption, darüber ein Raum für Vorlesungen, Konferenzen etc., und im Obergeschoss ein weiterer Ausstellungsraum. Die Galerie wird verwaltet von Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums und vom britischen Kulturministerium unterstützt. Der Eintritt ist frei. Seit 1965 existiert außerdem ein Förderverein namens „Friends of the Laing Art Gallery“ (FLAG), der Geld für Ausstellungen, Kataloge und Ankauf weiterer Kunstwerke sammelt. 2024 betrug die Besucherzahl etwa 192.000 Personen.

Острови Сили

Островите Сили (на английски: Isles of Scilly, на корнуолски Enesek Syllan) е архипелаг в Атлантическия океан, на 45 км югозападно от Ландс Енд, Англия. Състои се от пет обитаеми (Сейнт Мерис, Трискоу, Сейнт Мартинс, Сейнт Агнес и Брайхър) и 140 други острова. Общата площ е 16,03 км2, а населението към 2008 г. е 2100 души. Основният град е Хю Таун, намиращ се на Сейнт Мерис. Островите принадлежат към Великобритания. Островите Сили и Холандия участват в най-дългия военен конфликт на света, продължил 335 години. Той започва на 30 март 1651 г. и не взима нито една жертва от двете страни, защото нито една от страните не изстрелва дори един патрон по противника. Фактически войната е краткотрайна, но през 1985 г. историкът Рой Дънкан открива, че не е подписан мирен договор. Това се случва на 17 април 1986 г. Източници
Illes Scilly

Les illes Scilly (anglès: Isles of Scilly, còrnic: Syllan) són un grup d'illes del nord de l'Atlàntic situades al sud-oest de Cornualla (Gran Bretanya), a uns 45 km del cap de Pedn an Wlas. Situades sota els 50° N, són la part més sud-occidental de tot el Regne Unit, amb un clima especialment temperat gràcies a la influència suavitzadora del corrent del Golf. Així, les gelades o nevades hi són molt rares (hom ho aprofita per al cultiu primerenc de flors), si bé a vegades es veu sotmesa a espectaculars ventades i a temporals marins. Cinc de les illes són habitades, amb una població total de 2.162 habitants (2002). A més a més, hi ha unes 140 illes i illots addicionals sense poblament humà. Actualment tenen un govern autònom conjunt. Història Es creu que són les antigues illes anomenades Silura de Britànnia, a la costa dels dumnonis (dumnonii) que vivien a l'extrem sud-oest. Segurament és la mateixa illa o grup anomenat Sylina per Sulpici Sever.

Scilly

Scilly je britansko otočje oko 45 km jugozapadno od Land’s Enda u regiji jugozapadna Engleska, udaljeno 58 km od kopna. Naseljena mjesta su: Saint Mary’s, Tresco, Saint Martin’s, Saint Agnes, Bryter i Gugh. Stanovnici se bave ribarstvom i uzgojem cvijeća. Glavno mjesto je Hugh Town na otoku Saint Mary’s. Jedina zračna luka je Saint Mary’s Airport. Zemljopisne karakteristike Ukupna površina otočja iznosi 16 km2, na kojima živi 2203 stanovnika. Samo je pet otoka nastanjeno, to su; St. Mary’s, Tresco, St. Martin’s, Bryher i St. Agnes. Većina stanovnika živi na otoku St. Mary’s, u naselju Hugh Town koji ima dobru luku i muzej. Svjetionik - Bishop Rock iz 1858., na zapadnom kraju otočja značajan je primjer građevinarstva 19. stoljeća. Administrativno, otočje je okrug u regiji jugozapadna Engleska i dio je ceremonijalne grofovije Cornwall. Budući da njegova vijeća funkcioniraju i kao okrug i kao grofovija, ona imaju status unitarne uprave. Administrativni centar je St. Mary’s, najveći otok u arhipelagu. Otoci su geološki sastavljeni od granita, i nastavak su granitne mase Cornwallskog kopna. Najviša točka od 50 metara leži na St. Mary’s-u, svi otoci imaju opasne stjenovite obale s brojnim grebenima. Kako je klima na otocima izuzetno blaga (prosječna mjesečna temperatura varira od 7 do 16 °C) - flora i fauna je sasvim drugačija od one na engleskom kopnu. Ondje rastu brojne suptropske biljke, a po stijenama hridi i otočića žive tuljani. Brojne se ptice gnjezde po otocima, među njima i rijetka vrsta dugorepa čigra (Sterna dougallii) i Mali zovoj (Puffinus puffinus). Privreda i transport Privreda se zahvaljući dobroj klimi, bazira na turizmu i uzgoju cvijeća i povrća. Ribarstvo također značajno. Otočje je trajektom povezan s lukom Penzance, na Cornwallu. Povijest Po arhipelagu ima prapovijestnih nalaza u obliku tumulja i primitivnih stupova. Henrik I dao je arhipelag opatu iz grofovije Devon. Scilly je u 16. stoljeću postao krunska imovina, pa je 1571. dan u najam Francisu Godolphinu koji je 1593. sagradio zamak Star iznad Hugh Towna. Za engleskog građanskog rata (1642. – 1651.) arhipelag je bio pod nadzorom monarhista, čija je mornarica teško oštetila nizozemske brodove. Nizozemci su, nakon što im je odbijen zahtjev za odštetu, objavili 1651. - rat arhipelagu. Ubrzo nakon toga pristaše parlamenta stekle su kontrolu nad arhipelagom. Rat je kasnije završio, iako formalni mirovni sporazum nije potpisan sve do 17. travnja 1986. Od 1834. August Smith iznajmljuje arhipelag, umjesto ranijeg Godolphinsa. To je trajalo do 1933. kada je većina otoka predana britanskoj kruni.

Scilly

Scilly (Isles of Scilly, korn. Ynysek Syllan) – archipelag około 140 wysp o łącznej powierzchni 16,33 km², z czego pięć jest zamieszkanych, leżących na zachód od wybrzeży Kornwalii. Zaludnienie wynosi niewiele ponad 2000 osób. Największą wyspą archipelagu jest St Mary’s, a największym ośrodkiem Hugh Town. Krajobraz i klimat są bardzo zróżnicowane. O ile zwykle morskie otoczenie łagodzi tam zmiany temperatury, to znad Atlantyku przychodzą bardzo ostre zimowe wiatry. Osłonięte południowe wybrzeża pozwalają na hodowlę roślin subtropikalnych, podczas gdy północne nagie skały gdzieniegdzie porośnięte są niskimi krzewami. Mieszkańcy wysp utrzymują się obecnie przede wszystkim z obsługi turystyki, a także tradycyjnie z rybołówstwa i rolnictwa. Historia Wojna 335-letnia Wojna 335-letnia (1651–1986) toczyła się pomiędzy Holandią a wyspami Scilly. Wojna trwała tak długo, ponieważ po wypowiedzeniu wojny nie zakończyła się oficjalnym zawarciem pokoju przez 335 lat. Przez ten okres nie padł ani jeden strzał, co sprawia, że jest to również wojna z najmniejszą liczbą ofiar. Pomimo braku pewności co do tego czy „wojna” została w rzeczywistości wypowiedziana i czy nie została zakończona wcześniejszym traktatem pokojowym, ostatecznie pokój został zawarty w 1986 roku.

Ilhas de Scilly

As Ilhas Scilly ou Ilhas Sorlingas (Ynysek Syllan, em córnico) eram conhecidas pelos fenícios como Ilhas do Estanho. Estão localizadas a sudoeste da península da Cornualha, na Inglaterra. Formam um arquipélago com uma área de 16,33 km² e cerca de 2 203 habitantes (censo de 2011), rodeado pelo Mar Céltico (Mor Keltek em córnico). Cinco delas são habitadas: St. Mary's, Tresco, St. Martin's, Bryher e St. Agnes. Tradicionalmente estas ilhas junto à ilha bretã de Ouessant (no departamento francês de Finistère) assinalam os confins ocidentais do Canal da Mancha com o Oceano Atlântico. As ilhas tem um clima privilegiado, com verões sub-tropicais e uma grande capacidade em atividades de pesca. A povoação mais importante do arquipélago é Hugh Town, na ilha de St. Mary's. História As ilhas são habitadas desde a Idade da Pedra e a sua história era até ao século XX uma história de gentes que viviam da terra e do mar, com pequenas localidades e um grande isolamento. Crê-se que até há relativamente pouco tempo as ilhas eram maiores, e que na época do Império Romano formassem uma única ilha ainda maior. Em algumas épocas, as marés baixam tanto que permitem que os habitantes caminhem de ilha para ilha. Não se sabe quando exactamente os habitantes das Sorlingas deixaram de falar a língua córnica (idioma celta do condado da Cornualha), mas parece ter sido a partir da Idade Média. Por estranho que pareça, ao contrário da situação da língua irlandesa e do gaélico escocês, as ilhas parecem ter perdido a sua antiga língua celta antes de outras zonas da Grã-Bretanha. Em Junho de 1651, durante a Guerra Civil Inglesa, as ilhas foram capturadas aos realistas comandados pelo almirante Robert Blake a favor dos parlamentaristas. O mar sempre teve um papel importante na história das ilhas , mas foi só no século XIX que as ilhas tiveram um desenvolvimento marítimo. As praias que hoje são desfrutadas pelos turistas albergavam então estaleiros, as baías agora cheias de iates de recreio, estavam repletas de barcos de pesca e mercantes. O ex-primeiro-ministro Harold Wilson passava férias regularmente nas ilhas e comprou mesmo uma propriedade numa delas. Harold Wilson foi enterrado na ilha de St. Mary’s. A fauna das ilhas desperta interesse dos biólogos. Em 2011, uma espécie de morcego considerada perdida foi encontrada: morcego-pipistrela.
