Chantry Bridge

Chantry Bridge, sometimes known as Wakefield Bridge, is a mediaeval bridge in the city of Wakefield, in West Yorkshire, in England. In the early 14th century, there was a timber bridge over the River Calder in Wakefield, with Kirkgate connecting the bridge to the town centre. The bridge was damaged by flooding in the 1330s, and a decision was taken to rebuild it in stone. Construction of the new bridge began in 1342, with spans connecting the north bank to a small island. The Chantry Chapel of St Mary the Virgin was built on the island. The bridge was then completed from the island to the south bank, in similar style, but only the arches supporting the northern part of the bridge have ribs. The chapel was consecrated in 1356, and this is sometimes taken to be the completion date of the bridge. The bridge was widened by nine feet in 1758. It was painted by J. M. W. Turner in 1797, in which year it was widened by nine feet for a second time. This work was probably designed by John Carr of York and undertaken by Bernard Hartley. Wakefield New Bridge was constructed immediately upstream of Chantry Bridge in 1933, and now carries the large majority of traffic. Chantry Bridge was Grade I listed in 1953. The bridge has nine arches. The original arches are visible on the downstream side, and are pointed, while the widened section on the upstream side has round arches. Each arch is supported by a platform with a cutwater. There is a plain parapet. See also Grade I listed buildings in West Yorkshire Listed buildings in Wakefield References
Church of St Peter and St Paul, Coleshill

The Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, often referred to as Coleshill Parish Church, is the Anglican parish church of Coleshill, Warwickshire, England. It has been a Grade I listed building since 1961, and was built between the 14th and 15th centuries, with the current spire built in the 1860s. History The oldest part of the church dates back to the 14th century, but most of the church was built in the 15th century. There is evidence of a church at the site before this with a Norman font in the church. There is record of a priest here as far back as 1086. Norman foundations were found here during excavations but it is not known when the first church was built at this site. Due to the wooded area that used to surround Coleshill, it is thought that before the current church began construction there must have been a church made from timber, almost certainly on the site of the current church. The spire was rebuilt in the 15th century. During extensive renovations of the church in the 1860s, including replastering of most of the building and replacing the roof with tiles, the spire was rebuilt again. In 1961, a large number of buildings in the United Kingdom were listed. The church was included in this and on 8 September 1961 the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul gained the Grade I Listed status, the highest level possible. References
St Mary's Church, Banbury

St Mary's Church is a Church of England parish church in Banbury, Oxfordshire in the Diocese of Oxford. The church is a Grade I listed building. History St Mary's Church was built in the 1790s to replace the Medieval one damaged during the English Civil War. The church was designed by Samuel Pepys Cockerell, with a tower and portico added by Charles Robert Cockerell in 1818 to 1822. The inside of the church was re-ordered in the 1860s and 1870s by the then vicar Henry Back, an Anglo-Catholic, to make it more suitable for Eucharistic worship. He commissioned Arthur Blomfield to oversee the re-ordering and to decorate the church in a Byzantine style. It was during this time that stained-glass windows designed by Robert Turnill Bayne (1837–1915) were added, including one depicting The Parable of the Talents. Present day St Mary's Church stands in the central tradition of the Church of England. It is a member of Inclusive Church. From 1993, the church was shared by the Church of England and the United Reformed Church; it was not, however, a Local Ecumenical Partnership. This agreement ended by the time of the 2019 vacancy. The church's Resurrection Chapel is home to one of the 84 Lamps of Brotherhood that were made after World War II as a sign of reconciliation between nations.

There are also elaborate decorative painted designs in the chancel, around the north and south windows, and on the east wall, with paintings of saints on either side of the east window. Brocas Chapel The Brocas chapel is an aisle added to the church of St James by the architect John Soane around 1800.

St Nicolas Church, Nuneaton

St Nicolas Church is the parish church of Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England owned by the Church of England. The building dates back to around 1340 and is a Grade I listed building. History The church dates back to around 1340, but there may have been a Saxon church on the same site previously. The church's sign indicates it being there since 1155, possibly referencing the previously mentioned Saxon church. In the 15th century the roofs were replaced and the tower added. The roof has large beams, roof bosses and the emblem of the Five Wounds of Christ. A Victorian restoration, including the extension of the chancel, was carried out in the 1850s by Ewan Christian. This included the installation of pews and the removal of the galleries. An organ was installed in 1813. The church was used by George Eliot in Scenes of Clerical Life where it was named Milby Church. The parish and benefice are within the Diocese of Coventry. Architecture The sandstone building has tiled roofs. It consists of an aisled nave, three-bay chancel with chapels, a vestry to the north and a west tower. The three-stage tower is supported by diagonal buttresses. The tower contains a ring of eight bells. The oldest of these were cast in 1703 by Rudhall of Gloucester. One of the chapels is named in memory of John Leeke who gave money to the church around 1500. The other was named for St Katherine but now holds the organ. One stained glass window, which was installed in 1923 in the Leeke Chapel remains, all the other stained glass was destroyed by bombing in 1941 during World War II. There are several memorials including one to Marmaduke Constable who was the Lord of the manor and died in 1560. References External links St Nicolas' Website
Sawston Hall

Sawston Hall is a Grade I listed Tudor manor house in Sawston, Cambridgeshire dating from the 16th century. It has many fine features, such as the magnificent Great Hall complete with Elizabethan panelling and a large Tudor fireplace with fireback dated 1571. The house also has its own panelled private chapel which has an 18th-century decorated plaster ceiling and wonderful stained glass windows. On the first floor there is a long gallery and a bedroom where Queen Mary I is rumoured to have slept. The hall is surrounded by almost 60 acres (24 ha) of grounds which includes a Site of Special Scientific Interest protected by Natural England due to the presence of Cambridge Milk Parsley, a rare English native plant. The ground also include a number of naturally fed springs, woodland walks, a half moat and a number of smaller landscaped gardens. History The Sawston estate was held by the Huddleston family from 1517 until the 1980s. The Hall was thrust into the history books in 1553 when Mary Tudor (soon to be Mary I of England), fleeing imprisonment by the Duke of Northumberland, spent the night at the Hall. Northumberland's soldiers followed Mary to Sawston forcing her to flee the next morning disguised as a dairymaid. As she fled, the soldiers set fire to the medieval manor destroying a large portion of the hall. The Hall was re-built by Sir John and Edmund Huddleston between 1557 and 1584 with the help of a licence granted by Queen Mary to use stone from Cambridge Castle. During the re-building Mary died and was succeeded by Elizabeth I. This resulted in the construction of a number of priest holes in the building by Nicholas Owen, allowing the Huddleston family to continue their practice of the Catholic faith. The priest's hole at the top of the spiral staircase at Sawston Hall is noted as one of the finest examples in the country. During the Second World War Sawston Hall, still under the ownership of the Huddlestons, was the headquarters of the 66th Fighter Wing, part of the USAAF Eighth Air Force. An air raid shelter still remains in the grounds, and on the top floor war-time graffiti still adorns the walls. In 1982 the Huddleston family sold the hall which became a language school until it was purchased in 2010. It was last for sale in 2014 for £4.75 million Sawston Hall sits adjacent to the, earlier, Norman styled St Mary's church. Sawston Hall was the location used for the 1971 Michael Winner film "The Nightcomers". It was featured extensively including many scenes providing interior shots of the house throughout. References
Sawston Hall

Sawston Hall est un manoir Tudor classé Grade I, situé à Sawston dans le Cambridgeshire ; il date du XVIe siècle] avec une grande cheminée Tudor avec plaque de cheminée datée de 1571. La demeure possède sa propre chapelle privée lambrissée avec un plafond en plâtre décoré du XVIIIe siècle et de magnifiques vitraux. Au premier étage, il y a une longue galerie et une chambre où la reine Mary Ire aurait dormi. La maison est entourée de près de 60 acres (24,28113852 ha) de terrain qui comprend un site d'intérêt scientifique spécial protégé par Natural England en raison de la présence de Cambridge Milk Parsley, une plante indigène anglaise rare. Le terrain comprend également un certain nombre de sources alimentées naturellement, des promenades dans les bois, un demi-fossé et un certain nombre de petits jardins paysagers. Histoire Le domaine Sawston est la propriété de la famille Huddleston de 1517 jusqu'aux années 1980. Le manoir est cité dans les livres d'histoire en 1553 lorsque Mary Tudor (qui devient Mary Ire d'Angleterre), fuyant l'emprisonnement du duc de Northumberland, passe la nuit au manoir. Les soldats de Northumberland suivent Mary jusqu'à Sawston, la forçant à fuir le lendemain matin déguisée en laitière. Alors qu'elle s'enfuit, les soldats mettent le feu au manoir médiéval, le détruisant en grande partie. La maison est reconstruite par John et Edmund Huddleston entre 1557 et 1584 avec l'aide d'une licence accordée par la reine Mary pour utiliser la pierre du château de Cambridge. Au cours de la reconstruction, Mary meurt et est remplacée par Elisabeth Ire. Cela aboutit à l'inclusion d'un certain nombre de trous de prêtres dans le bâtiment, permettant à la famille Huddleston de poursuivre sa pratique de la foi catholique. Le trou du prêtre au sommet de l'escalier en colimaçon de Sawston Hall est considéré comme l'un des plus beaux exemples du pays. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Sawston Hall, toujours la propriété des Huddleston, est le quartier général de la 66th Fighter Wing, qui fait partie de l'USAAF Eighth Air Force. Un abri anti-aérien subsiste toujours sur le terrain et, au dernier étage, des graffitis datant de la guerre ornent encore les murs. En 1982, la famille Huddleston vend le manoir qui devient une école de langues jusqu'à son achat en 2010. Il est mis en vente pour la dernière fois en 2014 pour 4,75 millions de livres sterling. Sawston Hall est adjacent à l'ancienne église St Mary de style normand. Sawston Hall est le lieu utilisé pour le film de Michael Winner de 1971 " The Nightcomers ".
