St Paul's Church, Hamstead

St Paul's Church, Hamstead is a Grade II listed Church of England parish church in Birmingham, England. Location The church sits west of the A34 Walsall Road, near its junction with Old Walsall Road, on a hilltop site overlooking the suburb of Hamstead, a former mining village, and not far from the border of Birmingham and Sandwell. At the time of the church's construction its site was part of Staffordshire. In 1928 it was incorporated into Birmingham, and thus also Warwickshire, and, from 1974, the West Midlands county. The church's community hall sits a few yards further south along the A34. History The church originated as a mission church in 1865, closer to Hamstead village. Eventually funding was found for a permanent church and the foundation stone was laid on Friday 27 July 1891 by Augustus Gough-Calthorpe, 6th Baron Calthorpe. The church was built to the designs of the architect William Davis. It comprised nave, north and south transepts, north and south aisles and a chancel. It was built of red brick with Bathstone dressings. The contractors were Harley and Son of Smethwick. It was consecrated on 29 September 1892 by Augustus Legge, the Bishop of Lichfield. Pevsner and Wedgwood (1966) describe the building as "A pleasant country church in a Dec[orated] style". In 1894 a parish was assigned with land taken from the parishes of St Mary's Church, Handsworth and St John the Evangelist's Church, Perry Barr. Hamstead War Memorial stands next to the church. Erected by public subscription in December 1920, it commemorates 22 men of the parish who died in World War I. It has the shape of a Celtic wheel-cross and is also Grade II listed. References
St Peter's Church, Handsworth

St Peter's Church, Handsworth is a Grade II listed former Church of England parish church in Birmingham now used by a Church of God (Seventh Day) congregation. History St Peter's Church was one of the last churches designed by J.A. Chatwin. It was consecrated on 28 June 1907 by the Bishop of Birmingham and in the same year a parish was assigned to it out of St James' Church, Handsworth and St Michael's Church, Handsworth. After being declared redundant by the Church of England in 1977 the building was abandoned and eventually became derelict. In the early 1980s it was bought by The Church of God Seventh Day and continues to be used as a place of Christian worship. Organ The church contained an organ by William Hill dating from 1846 which had previously been in All Saints’ Church, West Bromwich. It was moved here by William J Bird in 1910. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. When the church was declared redundant in 1977, the organ was moved to St Gregory the Great's Church, Small Heath.

Portishead Lifeboat Station

Portishead Lifeboat Station is located at Pier Road, in the town of Portishead, located on the Severn Estuary in North Somerset. A lifeboat was stationed at Portishead in 1996 by the Portishead Lifeboat Trust (PLT), an independent lifeboat, operating from Sugar Loaf Beach. Management of the station was taken over by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 2015, following construction of a new lifeboat station, opened adjacent to Portishead Pier. History A rescue service in the waters off Portishead was provided from 1967 until 1992 by Portishead Yacht Club. The Portishead Lifeboat Trust was established as a charity in 1995 to provide a replacement service. Their first lifeboat was operational from 6 October 1996, using a base at the Yacht Club's premises at Sugar Loaf Beach, to the south of the town. On 28 August 2008 the lifeboat crew were undertaking a training exercise, when the lifeboat was damaged by heavy seas. Their 'mayday' was answered by the RNLI lifeboat from Weston-super-Mare, and the Severn Area Rescue Association (SARA) lifeboat. The Portishead Lifeboat Trust borrowed a lifeboat from SARA while repairs were undertaken by Ribcraft. This lifeboat was later replaced with one leased from the RNLI. In 2011 the Portishead Lifeboat Trust approached the RNLI to discuss them being adopted by that organisation so as to give a more secure long-term future. The RNLI agreed to this but subject to building a new lifeboat station with better facilities. This was agreed in 2013 and the following year, construction of the new station was started. The RNLI asked that the local community should raise £232,000 towards the costs but this was significantly exceeded when an anonymous donor came forward with £500,000. The Portishead Lifeboat Trust was called out more than 300 times to assist nearly 500 people, and saving 14 lives. In 2014 they could call upon 34 crew members, all of whom were volunteers. The RNLI's building was completed early in 2015 and the lifeboat was stationed in it from 24 April 2015. Area of operation Portishead's Atlantic 85 inshore lifeboat (ILB) has a range of 3 hours and top speed of 25 kn (46 km/h). It covers an area of the Bristol Channel around the River Avon, including the Avon itself running up into the city of Bristol. Adjacent inshore lifeboats are provided by the RNLI at Weston-super-Mare to the south, across the Severn estuary at Penarth, and by the independent Severn Area Rescue Association to the north. The nearest all-weather lifeboat is based at Barry Dock. Portishead lifeboats The station currently operates the B-class (Atlantic 85) lifeboat My Lady Anne (B-884) which has been here since 2015.

Sacred Heart Church, Middlesbrough

Sacred Heart Church formerly the Church of Sacred Heart and St Philomena is a Roman Catholic Parish church in the town centre of Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire. It was built from 1930 to 1932 and is based on the design of St Andrew's Abbey in Bruges, Belgium. It is situated on the west side of Albert Park on the Linthorpe Road. It is a Grade II listed building. History Construction The foundation stone of the church was laid on 20 September 1930 by the Bishop of Middlesbrough, Thomas Shine. In 1932 the church was opened, originally dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and St Philomena. The church architect was Jules Coomans (1871–1937), a Belgian architect from Ypres. He designed the War Victims Monument in Ypres and there is a street is named after him there. He also worked on various renovations and construction of churches in Ypres and Bruges. Developments In 1953, stained glass windows were installed around the sanctuary in the church. The windows were designed by the studio Harry Clarke in Dublin, Ireland. From 1961 to 1967, mosaics designed by Ludwig Oppenheimer from Manchester were also installed. In the 1960s, the name of the church changed to become Sacred Heart Church. Parish In the 2000s, the two other Roman Catholic churches in the city centre closed. In 2000, the former cathedral of the Diocese of Middlesbrough, St Mary's Church on Sussex Street, was destroyed in a fire. Two years later, in 2002, St Patrick's Church on Cannon Street was closed and demolished. These three parishes were combined into one and – to help reflect the traditions of the three parishes – the new parish was named Saint Patrick but dedication of the Church remains that of the Sacred Heart. The church hosts two Sunday Masses at 9:30 am and at 6:30 pm. It also has weekday Masses at 9:15 am on Mondays, at 6:30 pm on Tuesdays and at 9:15 am on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and at 9:00 am on Saturday.

Midway Manor

Midway Manor is a country house and farm in Wingfield parish, about 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) south of Bradford on Avon in Wiltshire, England. The house is approximately midway between Bradford on Avon and Wingfield, on the B3109 road. It was originally an Elizabethan Manor Farm flanked by two large stone barns. In about 1723, the Midway estate was the property of the Shrapnel family who were prosperous cloth merchants from Bradford on Avon. Lieutenant-General Henry Shrapnel (1761–1842), inventor of the Shrapnel shell, was born at Midway Manor which remained with the Shrapnel family until 1871. The house had stone cannonballs mounted in various places on the front façade, and a carving of the Shrapnel shell exploding with the Latin inscription Ratio Ultima Regum ("the Last Argument of Kings"), a phrase Louis XIV of France had cast on the cannons of his armies. This carving is now immediately outside the Manor's entrance gates. On the back of the gate piers, the names of some of the battles that were won with the aid of the Shrapnel shell are engraved. These include the battles of Waterloo, Talavera, the Kyber Pass, Salamanca, San Sebastian, Bidassoa, Bella Formosa, Tsage, Abyssinia, Monte Video, Maida, Ghuzznee (Ghazni), Bussaco, Table Bay, Kioze as well as the Crimean and Burmese wars. On top of each gate pier are four of the original spherical case shots. The late-19th century gate piers are Grade II listed since 1988. In 1892, the manor became the property of Henry Baynton who removed the front façade, necessitating an almost complete rebuilding of the house with stone provided from the barns which were then demolished.

Nore Folly

Nore Folly (also known as Slindon Folly) is a folly near the village of Slindon, West Sussex, United Kingdom. The stone construction resembles a gateway but is a decorative piece which leads to nowhere. It was built of flint in the 18th century by the Newburgh family, possibly because of the countess's liking for an Italian picture of a building. The National Trust, which restored the folly in 1993, states that Nore Folly was "built in 1814 for the Countess of Newburgh’s picnic parties". At that time there was a small covered building attached, which has since been torn down. It was designated as a Grade II listed building in 1984. A well-used, although somewhat steep, walking path leads up to Nore Folly, at which there is an outlook with a clear view over the countryside, including a view of Halnaker Windmill, a long section of the coastline, Portsmouth Spinnaker Tower, Chichester Cathedral, and Bognor Regis. The folly featured on a first day cover designed by British First Day Covers Limited in 2006. References
Cambridge Observatory

Cambridge Observatory is an astronomical observatory at the University of Cambridge in the East of England. It was established in 1823 and is now part of the site of the Institute of Astronomy. The old Observatory building houses the Institute of Astronomy Library which has a collection of modern and historical astronomical books. There are a set of optical telescopes at the site on the Madingley Road in the west of Cambridge. By modern standards these are small, as well as being affected by light pollution. The 36-inch telescope was used for studies of stellar radial velocities until 2019, and the historic Northumberland and Thorrowgood telescopes are used as part of the public outreach activities of the Institute. From 1990 to 1998, the Royal Greenwich Observatory was based in Cambridge in Greenwich House, just to the north of the Observatory.

Aydon Castle

Aydon Castle, früher auch oft Aydon Hall genannt, ist ein befestigtes Herrenhaus im Dorf Aydon bei Corbridge in der englischen Grafschaft Northumberland. Es gilt als Scheduled Monument und English Heritage hat es als historisches Gebäude I. Grades gelistet. Details Dokumente zeigen, dass an dieser Stelle zunächst ein Haus aus Holz errichtet wurde. Das Herrenhaus ließ dann Robert de Reymes, ein reicher Kaufmann aus Suffolk, ab 1296 anschließend an das steile Tal von Cor Burn errichten. Damals bestand das Gebäude aus einem zweistöckigen Hallenhaus mit Solar (ein Saal zur Nutzung durch die Familie des Besitzers), Speisesaal und einer Küche im Obergeschoss. Im Jahre 1305 erhielt er eine königliche Erlaubnis zur Befestigung seines Herrenhauses (engl.: „Licence to crenellate“) und ließ Zinnen aufsetzen und das Anwesen mit einer Kurtine einfrieden. Das Haus wurde von den Schotten 1315 und erneut 1346 eingenommen. Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts wurde das Herrenhaus renoviert und Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts in einen Bauernhof umgewandelt. Bis 1966 blieb es anschließend als Bauernhof in Gebrauch und dann renoviert und sein mittelalterliches Erscheinungsbild wieder hergestellt. Es wird von English Heritage verwaltet.

Château d'Aydon

Le château d'Aydon est un manoir situé à Aydon, près de la ville de Corbridge, dans le comté de Northumberland, au nord-est de l'Angleterre. Il a été classé par l'English Heritage en Grade I. Histoire La première mention écrite montre qu'une construction en bois a d'abord existé sur ce site. Le manoir a été construit par Robert de Reymes, un riche marchand du Suffolk, à partir de 1296. À cette époque, il consistait en une demeure de deux étages avec la salle à manger et la cuisine sur l'étage supérieur. En 1305, il a obtenu l'autorisation de fortifier sa propriété et a ajouté des remparts. Il a été capturé par les Écossais en 1315 et, de nouveau, en 1346. Au milieu du XVIe siècle, il a été rénové et converti en une ferme au milieu du XVIIe siècle. La construction est restée utilisée comme telle jusqu'en 1966, mais a depuis été rétablie dans son apparence médiévale. Le château est géré par l'English Heritage.

Zamek Aydon

Zamek Aydon (ang. Aydon Castle) – zamek położony niedaleko miejscowości Corbridge w hrabstwie Northumberland, w północnej Anglii. Przykład zachowanego średniowiecznego domu obronnego w Anglii. Historia Zamek Aydon został zbudowany na początku XIV wieku przez ziemianina Roberta de Reymes. Początkowo był to dom mieszkalny, który został później umocniony w celu obrony przed najazdami Szkotów. W 1305 roku Robert de Reymes uzyskał pozwolenie na obwarowanie swojego domu, co było odpowiedzią na narastające zagrożenie ze strony północnych sąsiadów. W 1315 roku został spalony podczas najazdu Szkotów, w trakcie I wojny o niepodległość Szkocji. W ciągu kolejnych wieków zamek Aydon podupadł, w XV wieku był określany jako ruiny zamku. Na początku XVI wieku przeszedł w ręce rodziny Carnbaby. Reynold Carnaby przebudował wnętrze zamku, czyniąc go bardziej komfortową rezydencją. W 1654 roku zamek kupił William Collinson, który przekształcił zamek w gospodarstwo rolne. W XX wieku zamek Aydon przeszedł renowację i został udostępniony dla zwiedzających. Zarządza nim organizacja English Heritage. Architektura Zamek Aydon jest przykładem architektury gotyckiej z elementami późnośredniowiecznymi. Charakteryzuje się masywnymi murami, basztami oraz wewnętrznym dziedzińcem. Wnętrza zamku zawierają oryginalne elementy, takie jak kominki, drewniane belki stropowe i kamienne schody. Znajdują się tu m.in. wielka sala, dwie kuchnie, komnaty mieszkalne oraz stajnie. Pomieszczenia zostały odrestaurowane, aby oddać ich pierwotny wygląd. Wnętrza zamku są dostępne dla zwiedzających.

Замок Эйдон

Замок Эйдон (англ. Aydon Castle) расположен на севере Англии в графстве Нортумберленд. История замка Замок представляет собой прекрасный пример средневекового английского поместья. Его построил в 1296 г. Роберт де Реймс, богатый торговец из Саффолка. К сожалению, местоположение Эйдона делало его уязвимым для набегов шотландцев, поэтому в 1305 г., получив соответствующее разрешение, Роберт значительно укрепил замок и окружил его стеной. Однако это не помешало шотландцам дважды захватывать замок в 1315 и 1346 гг. В последующие столетия владельцы замка часто менялись. Многие из них предпочитали жить в другом месте, сдавая Эйдон в аренду. Благодаря этому поместье сохранилось в практически неизменном виде. С начала XX в. и до 1966 г. в Эйдоне размещалась ферма, а потом замок перешёл под опеку государства. Появление в фильмах В замке снимались некоторые сцены фильма «Елизавета» (1998, в ролях Кейт Бланшетт, Джеффри Раш).
