Moseley Hall, Birmingham

Moseley Hall is a Grade II listed 18th-century country house which was situated in parkland in Moseley, Birmingham. The hall itself is now part of Moseley Hall Hospital and much of the surrounding estate has been developed for roads and housing. The hall was built c. 1795 of ashlar with a slate roof in three storeys with a five-bay frontage. A central porch is supported by four pairs of Tuscan columns. The dovecote in the grounds is also Grade II listed. History The Moseley estate came, after the Dissolution of the Monasteries, into the Grevis family, who rebuilt the hall in its present location in the early 1600s. After the family ran into financial difficulties the estate was sold in 1768 to wealthy manufacturer and banker John Taylor of Bordesley Park. His son John built a new house in a plain classical style alongside the previous one and commissioned Humphry Repton to landscape the park. The new building was set on fire by a mob during the Priestley Riots of 1791 when occupied by the Dowager Countess of Carhampton. The damaged house was restored by 1796 and John Taylor jnr moved in. After his death it passed to his son James, High Sheriff of Worcestershire for 1826, who also lived there. After James's death in 1852 the property was let until 1889, when the hall and 22 acres (0.089 km2) of the estate were sold to Richard Cadbury, MP, of the chocolate making family. The rest of the land was developed for housing following the building of Salisbury and Chantry roads, linking Alcester Road to Pershore Road via the estate. Hospital In 1891 Cadbury presented Moseley Hall to the City of Birmingham for use as a children's convalescent home. It joined the National Health Service in 1948. Moseley Hall hospital is now described as an NHS community hospital offering general medical and sub-acute care and specialist stroke and brain injury rehabilitation services for inpatients and outpatients. The Juniper Centre was built on the hospital site and provides support for older people with mental health issues over a large part of South Birmingham, also helping with physical care. References
Moulton Windmill

Moulton Windmill in the Lincolnshire village of Moulton, between Spalding and Holbeach is a restored windmill claimed to be the tallest tower mill in the United Kingdom. The nine-storeyed mill is 80 ft (24.4 metres) to the curb and 100 ft (29.6 metres) to top of the ogee cap. In full working order again with its (or her) four patent sails on, Moulton mill is the tallest working windmill in Great Britain and one of the tallest worldwide. (The 9-storey tower windmill at Sutton, near Stalham, Norfolk has about 67 ft 6 in to the curb, 79 ft 6 in to the top of the Norfolk boat-shaped cap). The mill, built in c. 1822 by Robert King, was a fully functioning windmill, grinding wheat and other products. However, on 20 December 1894, the sails were damaged in a harsh gale and were removed in 1895. Soon afterwards, a steam system was installed to power the mill. A. W. Tindall leased it from the King family from 1890 until 1921. The Biggadike family, who took over tenancy of the mill in 1924 continued to mill, albeit small quantities of animal feed, until 1995. A local campaign was established to restore the Grade I listed mill to full working condition. In 2003, the mill featured on the first series of BBC2's Restoration with Tim Wonnacott as its Celebrity Advocate. The project won a large Heritage Lottery Fund grant, which, along with many fundraising events has meant that the "Friends of Moulton Mill" campaign has succeeded in raising enough money to restore and refurbish the mill's structure and add a new cap. The new white ogee cap, (which weighs 14 ton) is visible for miles across the flat Fenland landscape. A café and shop has also been built, and the mill has disabled access, allowing disabled visitors to see some of the mill's inner workings. The Friends of Moulton Mill have encouraged local people to "sponsor" a sail shutter. In March 2007, the mill ground flour again. The reefing gallery, an external balcony which is 40 ft from the ground, was restored in June 2008. New sails were fitted on 21 November 2011 to complete the restoration of the mill. The community restoration took 14 years to complete at a cost of nearly £2m. On 28 April 2013 the first bag of flour in over 100 years was ground with wind power.

Mount Ephraim Gardens

Mount Ephraim Gardens is an Edwardian terraced gardens located at Hernhill, near Faversham, in the English county of Kent. History The gardens are laid out around a large house and 800 acres (3,200,000 m2) estate. It was originally built in 1695, then rebuilt in 1878 and then extended 1913 all for the Dawes family. The house is listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England, and its gardens are also Grade II listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. The gardens were laid out in the early 1900s, but after wartime neglect (when most adult men were enlisted in wartime services) were substantially restored by Mary and Bill Dawes from the early 1950s. Mary Dawes was involved in the day-to-day running of the gardens until her death in 2009, at the age of 93. Mount Ephraim has never been a 'professionally' maintained garden, but Mary had always lovingly tended it. Description Mount Ephraim Gardens have a large collection of spring bulbs, trees and shrubs including Rhododendrons, many types of Camellias and Magnolias. It has various areas, including the Millennium Rose Garden. It also has a large Sweet Chestnut, planted to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo. The 'Miz-maze' was planted in 2004 on the slopes of a former vineyard. Based on an ancient labyrinth called a Mizmaze (Mary Dawes, who lived at Mount Ephraim for sixty years, was always known to family and friends as 'Miz'). It was created by garden designer Sarah Morgan. Although based on a traditional labyrinth design, the layout incorporates some dead-ends, making it a hybrid between a maze and a labyrinth. The pattern of the grass paths is marked out with combinations of tall-growing ornamental grasses and colourful herbaceous perennial plants. The rock garden together with the water garden, is based on a series of pools ornamented with a Japanese stone bridge and stone lanterns. The topiary of the garden has been cut into a various birds and animals, and also First World War memorabilia in clipped yew. The long herbaceous border, has a brick wall giving wind shelter and it provides colour throughout the flowering season. The arboretum was planted to commemorate the late Mary Dawes' 80th birthday and also the 300 years of the family's ownership of Mount Ephraim. Sited on an artificially raised mound, the area gives far views of Blean woods, Hernhill church and the Miz Maze. The gardens also include a Ha-ha, which was built in the 18th century of red brick. It is about 3 feet high, and approximately 100 yards in length. It has a double curve. References External links Official website Faversham Tourism page
Mount Pleasant, Batley

Mount Pleasant Stadium, officially known for sponsorship purposes as Fox's Biscuits Stadium, is a rugby league stadium in Batley, West Yorkshire, England. It is the home of the Batley Bulldogs and amateur club Batley ARLFC. The Mount Pleasant pitch is sloped and is on a hill overlooking Batley. The end of the ground at the top of the hill has three grandstands. Behind the rugby posts is a terraced stand, which houses the players changing rooms and executive boxes. At the opposite end at the bottom of the hill is an open terraced stand. The bottom corner of the pitch has a pronounced dip. History Batley Cricket Club played at the foot of Howley Hill, more commonly known as "Owd Billy Wood’s Cloise". The cricket club decided to merge with Batley Athletic rugby football club in 1880. The new rugby club played at Mount Pleasant at the top of the hill. The first game on the new ground was on 2 October 1880 when the hosts beat Bradford Zingari. Captain Jacob Parker scored the first try. In 1886–87, there was just one small covered stand, under which poultry were kept. This was situated where the current main stand is now. The ground was used to host a Yorkshire v Surrey county cricket match at around this time. The 1893–94 season saw the erection of a huge open grandstand purchased by Batley's football committee following its use at the Great Yorkshire Show held at nearby Dewsbury. It cost £141–10s-0d. Once erected, it covered the whole side of one length of the Mount Pleasant playing area. In 1901, Mount Pleasant was nearly lost and used for building land until the club's first president, serving from 1880 to 1890. Alderman John W. Blackburn stepped in and bought the land along with Sir Mark Oldroyd, MP. This was then offered back to the club for £2,300. A company was formed to raise the sum, helped greatly by Alderman Joseph Auty, who agreed to donate money on the basis that "no intoxicating liquor was to be sold" at the ground. The ground's record attendance of 23,989 was set for the visit of Leeds for a third round Challenge Cup match on 14 March 1925. Local rivals Dewsbury played their home games at Mount Pleasant from 1991 until 1994, while their new stadium was being built. On 19 December 2014, Batley announced a two-year sponsorship deal with Fox's Biscuits, including the renaming of Mount Pleasant to Fox's Biscuits Stadium. The naming rights of the stadium were later extended. At the end of the 2023 season, local amateur club Batley Boys announced they would move into Mount Pleasant and rebrand as Batley ARLFC.

Castell de Mow Cop

El castell de Mow Cop és un castell situat a Mow Cop a la parròquia civil d'Odd Rode, Cheshire, Anglaterra. Està designat com a edifici catalogat de Grau II a la Llista del Patrimoni Nacional d'Anglaterra. La cresta sobre la qual s'assenta el castell forma el límit entre els comtats de Cheshire i Staffordshire, les diòcesis de Chester i Lichfield i les províncies eclesiàstiques de Canterbury i York. Història S'hi han trobat restes d'un campament prehistòric El 1754, Randle Wilbraham, veí de Rode Hall, va construir una elaborada casa d'estiu que semblava una fortalesa medieval i una torre rodona. La zona al voltant del castell era famosa a nivell nacional per l'extracció de pedres de molí d'alta qualitat per utilitzar-les en molins d'aigua. En les excavacions a Mow Cop han trobat pedres de molí que daten de l'edat del ferro. El castell va ser lliurat al National Trust el 1937. Aquest mateix any, més de deu mil metodistes es van reunir al turó per commemorar la celebració del primer campament metodista primitiu. Encara que originalment es permetia als visitants entrar a l'edifici, l'àrea que l'envolta ha estat tancada a causa de diversos intents de suïcidi i un suïcidi a la cornisa. A principis del nou mil·lenni, l'any 2000, es va encendre un gran foc al costat de la bogeria com a part d'una xarxa de fars comunicants a tot el país.

Mow Cop

Hrad Mow Cop je architektonická kuriozita v Mow Cop v civilní farnosti Odd Rode v hrabství Cheshire v Anglii. Je zapsán jako památka II. stupně v Národním seznamu památek Anglie. Hřeben, na kterém hrad stojí, tvoří hranici mezi hrabstvími Cheshire a Staffordshire, diecézemi Chester a Lichfield a církevními provinciemi Canterbury a York. Historie Hrad byl postavený Randlem Wilbrahamem v roce 1754 jako folly stavba na pískovcovém vrcholku v Mow Cop jako letní sídlo. Byl navržen tak, aby napodoboval zbytky středověké pevnosti a zároveň zdůrazňoval krajinu viditelnou z Rode Hall, sídla rodiny vzdáleného asi 5 km. Wilbraham nechal postavit propracovaný letní dům a kruhovou věž, aby vypadaly jako ruiny středověké pevnosti. Oblast kolem hradu byla celostátně proslulá těžbou vysoce kvalitního kamene pro výrobu mlýnských kamenů a žernovů, které našly použití ve vodních mlýnech. Při vykopávkách v Mow Copu byly nalezeny ruční mlýnky z doby železné. Byly zde také nalezeny stopy po prehistorickém táboře. Hrad byl v roce 1937 předán National Trastu. Ve stejném roce se na kopci sešlo přes deset tisíc metodistů, aby si připomněli první tábor primitivních metodistů, který se zde konal v roce 1807. Ačkoli návštěvníci měli původně povolen vstup do věže této stavby, přístup byl ale později zablokován zamčenou kovovou bránou, která však stále umožňuje pohled dovnitř. Mow Cop a jeho stavba jsou ústředními motivy románu Red Shift od Alana Garnera. Popis Hradní zřícenina je postavena z pískovcových kvádrů. Na severní straně stojí věž se zborceným přízemím, zdobena římsami a s kruhovými okny v přízemí. Na věž navazuje lomený oblouk a část zbořené zdi. Ve zdi je nízké okno.

Mow Cop Castle

Mow Cop Castle is a folly at Mow Cop in the civil parish of Odd Rode, Cheshire, England. It is designated as a Grade II listed building on the National Heritage List for England. The ridge, upon which the castle sits, forms the boundary between the counties of Cheshire and Staffordshire, the dioceses of Chester and Lichfield, and the ecclesiastical provinces of Canterbury and York. History Built by Randle Wilbraham of nearby Rode Hall in 1754 as a folly, it was designed to resemble medieval ruins. Wilbraham constructed the elaborate summerhouse and circular tower to look like medieval fortress ruins. The area around the castle was nationally famous for the quarrying of high-quality millstones, querns, for use in water mills. Excavations at Mow Cop have found querns dating back to the Iron Age. Traces of a prehistoric camp have also been found here. The castle was given to the National Trust in 1937. That year, over 10,000 Methodists met on the hill to commemorate the first Primitive Methodist camp, which met there in 1807. At the turn of the millennium, on New Year's Eve 1999, Mow Cop was a location for one of the hundreds of flaming beacons across the UK that were lit to mark the new century. Though visitors were originally allowed inside the tower of the folly, access is now prevented by a locked metal gate, which still allows views inside the folly. Mow Cop and its folly are central images in Alan Garner's novel Red Shift. See also Listed buildings in Kidsgrove Listed buildings in Odd Rode References External links History of Mow Cop
Castillo de Mow Cop

El castillo de Mow Cop es un folly, es decir, una construcción ornamental sin una función defensiva real, ubicada en Mow Cop, dentro de la parroquia civil de Odd Rode, en Cheshire, Inglaterra. La cresta donde se levanta marca el límite entre los condados de Cheshire y Staffordshire, entre las diócesis de Chester y Lichfield, y también entre las provincias eclesiásticas de Canterbury y York. Historia Construido por Randle Wilbraham en 1754, en lo alto de un promontorio rocoso de areniscas en Mow Cop, se concibió como casa de verano y zona recreativa. Fue diseñado para simular los restos de una fortaleza medieval y, a la vez, realzar el paisaje visible desde Rode Hall, la residencia de la familia situada a unos 5 km. La zona alrededor del castillo era famosa a nivel nacional por la extracción de piedras de molino de alta calidad para su uso en molinos de agua. Las excavaciones en Mow Cop han encontrado piedras de molino que datan de la Edad del Hierro.​ El castillo fue entregado al National Trust en 1937. Ese mismo año, más de diez mil metodistas se reunieron en la colina para conmemorar la celebración del primer campamento metodista primitivo. Aunque originalmente se permitía a los visitantes entrar en el edificio, el área que lo rodea ha sido vallada debido a varios intentos de suicidio y un suicidio en la cornisa. A principios del nuevo milenio, en el año 2000, se encendió un gran fuego junto a la locura como parte de una red de faros comunicantes en todo el país. Mow Cop y su capricho son las imágenes centrales de la novela Red Shift de Alan Garner.​ Véase también Cheshire Referencias Bibliografía Leese, P.R. (2011). Mow Cop: Living on the Hill.

Замок Моу Коп

Архитектурный каприз в английской деревне Моу Коп, часть общины Одд Род, графство Чешир, Англия. Внесён в национальный реестр культурного наследия Англии. Горный хребет, на котором стоит замок, образует границу между графствами Чешир и Стаффордшир, епархиями Честер и Личфилд, церковными провинциями Кентербери и Йорк. История Изысканная беседка, похожая на средневековый замок и круглую башню, была построена в 1754 году Рэндлом Уилбрахамом из поместья Род-холл. Строительство сооружения велось местными каменщиками Джоном и Ральфом Хардингами. В середине XIX-го века случился земельный конфликт между Рэндлом Уилбрахамом и Ральфом Снейдом, который утверждал, что часть летнего домика была построена на его земле и часть права собственности должна перейти к нему. Территория вокруг замка имела национальную известность благодаря добыче высококачественных жерновов для использования на водяных мельницах. В ходе раскопок Моу Коп были обнаружена жернова, датируемые железным веком. В 1937 году замок был передан Национальному фонду. В том же году более десяти тысяч методистов собрались на холме, чтобы отметить первое лагерное собрание примитивных методистов. Моу Коп и его замок являются центральными образами романа Алана Гарнера «Красное смещение». Примечания Ссылки История Моу Коп
Mowden Hall School

Mowden Hall School is a co-educational and boarding preparatory school in the parish of Bywell, in Stocksfield, Northumberland, England, approximately 11 miles (18 km) west of Newcastle upon Tyne. It has been a member of the Prep Schools Trust since 2007 and is a member of the Independent Association of Preparatory Schools (IAPS) and Association of Governing Bodies of Independent Schools (AGBIS). History Mowden Hall School was founded in the eponymous Mowden Hall in Mowden, near Darlington, by Frank Marchbank in 1935. The School was evacuated to Fallbarrow, Windermere, at the start of World War II, before acquiring its present site at Newton Hall, near Newcastle upon Tyne, in 1945; the former building was home to the Department for Education and its predecessor agencies for almost fifty years. Mowden Hall School became co-ed in 1982, and opened a Pre-Prep Department in 1993, which now includes Pre-Nursery, Nursery, Reception and Years 1 and 2. Work was done in the School's early years at Newton to convert the former home of the Joicey family—built in 1835 by architect John Dobson—into a fully functioning prep school. The school grounds are a size of approximately 52 acres. Boarding Children can be day pupils, part time (flexi) boarders, weekly boarders or full boarders. Full, weekly and flexible boarding are available to pupils in the main prep school (aged 8 and above). Boarders are not allowed to use mobile phones or other electronic devices, but are instead able to communicate with family and friends in other ways, such as landlines. Over three-quarters of the children in the prep school board in some capacity, but there is no requisite to board to attend the school.

Museum of Bath at Work

The Museum of Bath at Work is a local history museum in Bath, Somerset, England. The museum was established in 1978 as the Bath Industrial Heritage Trust. Its original collection consisted of a reconstruction of the nineteenth century engineering and mineral water business of Jonathan Burdett Bowler, founded in 1872. When the Bowler firm closed in 1969 its contents were bought by a local businessman, believed to have been Mr Russel Frears, with the express intention of founding a museum. Photographs taken of the original business were used to carefully reconstruct the shop, workshops, offices and bottling plant. Over 10,000 bottles and many thousands of documents were also saved. Today, the museum seeks to present the commercial development of Bath over a 2000-year period. In addition to the Bowler collection, other reconstructions include a cabinet maker's workshop and a Bath stone quarry face complete with crane and tools. In 1999 a rare 1914 Horstmann car was acquired, and, in 2003, a comprehensive exhibition on Bath's development, 'Bath at Work: 2000 Years of Earning a Living' opened. A local history display in the Hudson Gallery opened in 2007 and features an ever-changing display of photographs. In 2007 the museum acquired a rare Griffin six-stroke gas engine, that had been in storage in Yeovil, Somerset, after having been moved from London in 2001. It was built in 1885 and for some years was in the Birmingham Museum of Science and Technology. It is one of only two known examples, the other being in the Anson Engine Museum. The museum is housed in the Camden Works building, constructed in 1777 as a court for the indoor game of real tennis.
