Bilton School

Bilton School is a secondary school with academy status for pupils aged 11–18 in the Bilton area of Rugby, Warwickshire. There were 1,020 students on roll in the 2015–2016 school year, with 69 staff and 17 teaching assistants. History The school can trace its origins to The St Matthew's Schools in Rugby, which were founded in 1852, and originally comprised Boys', Girls' and Infants' schools: In 1919 the Boys' School was reorganised to only take boys aged eleven and upwards, and became known as the Central School. In 1945 it became known as the Senior Boys' School, and later St Matthew's Secondary Modern School. It became St Matthew's High School for Boys in 1960, and moved to Bilton in 1963, where it was renamed the Herbert Kay High School. In 1977 it amalgamated with the Westland High School for Girls to become Bilton High School. St Matthew's Girls' School, Rugby, had become Westland County Secondary School for Girls in 1947, and later Westland High School for Girls. It moved to Bilton in the late 1960s, in a new building alongside Herbert Kay High School, until the two schools were amalgamated in 1977 to create a mixed-sex comprehensive school. 2025 Culture Day In July 2025, the school organised a culture day intended to celebrate the school's diverse population. A student came wearing a Union Jack dress together with a Culture Day themed speech but was forbidden from taking part in the event by a school administrator. The student said that teachers told her the dress was inappropriate and that only other, non-British, cultures can be celebrated in this event. The school has apologized to the girls' family. The incident provoked a statement by the British PM Keir Starmer that “being British is something to be celebrated”. The school closed on Friday 18 July 2025, the last day of term, citing “extremist abuse” and “personal threats to staff”. Academic performance and inspections Ofsted inspection in 2016 found the school to be "Inadequate" in all categories except its sixth form which was rated as "Good", and the school was placed in special measures. The inspectors highlighted issues of poor leadership, poor behaviour, bullying and teaching which was handicapped by a large turnover of staff and middle leaders. GCSE results had declined from 62% of students gaining 5 good GCSEs (including English and mathematics) in 2013, to 36% in 2015. This followed a Section 8 inspection in April 2015 which found that "Leaders and managers have not taken effective action to maintain the high standards of behaviour and attitudes identified at the academy's previous inspection". As of 2025, the school's most recent inspection was in 2021, with an overall judgement of Good.

Vinovia

Vinovia ou Vinovium foi um forte e assentamento romano localizado a 1.6 km a norte da cidade de Bishop Auckland, na beira do Rio Wear, em County Durham, Inglaterra. História Ainda não se sabe muito sobre o assentamento pré-romano na área imediata. O forte foi provavelmente estabelecido em torno de 79 a.C. para guardar a travessia do Rio Wear pela Dere Street, a principal estrada romana entre York, Muro de Adriano e Escócia, e também o forte via principalis. Sentado no topo de uma colina a 15 metros acima do Wear, Binchester foi o maior forte romano do Condado de Durham. A terra foi desmatada de árvores e mato e um enorme enchimento de nivelamento colocado no planalto antes da construção do forte começou. Arqueólogos encontraram quatro moedas de Vespasiano que parecem corroborar que o edifício inicial estava relacionado com a marcha de Agricola para o norte no território dos Brigantes. Não está totalmente claro qual unidade de guarnição teria chamado Binchester de lar. O cuneus Frisorum Vinoviensium e o catafractariorum equites foram mencionados nas inscrições do local. As unidades de cavalaria do ala Vettonum, uma coorte de soldados frísias, e parte da Sexta Legião também poderiam ter ficado aqui em algum momento de sua história.

Bincknoll Castle

Bincknol Castle, auch Bincknoll Camp, ist eine abgegangene Wallburg in der englischen Grafschaft Wiltshire. Die Burg aus der Eisenzeit war nur mit einem Wall umgeben. Das Gelände liegt auf einem dreieckigen Vorsprung an einer Felsstufe unterhalb von The Ridgeway im Süden. Die steilen Hänge stellen hervorragende natürliche Verteidigungsanlagen dar; nur von Süden aus ist das Gelände ebenerdig leicht zu erreichen. Die Annahme, dass die Anlage aus der Eisenzeit stammt, ist bis jetzt nicht bewiesen. Die vorgefundenen Tonscherben stammen aus der Römerzeit und danach. Geophysikalische Untersuchungen sind für die Zukunft geplant. Man erwartet davon Aufschluss über das tatsächliche Alter der Anlagen. Die derzeit sichtbaren Erdwerke weisen auf eine Motte beträchtlicher natürlicher Stärke hin, die bald nach der normannischen Eroberung Englands entstand. Vermutlich ließ Gilbert de Breteuil, der nach der Eroberung des Landes 1066 eine Reihe von Grundherrschaften um das Dorf Broad Hinton erlangte, die Burg errichten, um diese zu überwachen. Der Mound, der durch spätere Steinbrucharbeiten stark beschädigt wurde, hat an seiner Basis einen Durchmesser von etwa 52 Metern und ist 3 Meter hoch; der umgebende Graben ist 2,3 Meter tief. Die Kernburg besitzt einen 3,4 Meter hohen Wall mit Graben, der sie von der Vorburg trennt. Als Eingang dient ein Damm. Die Erdwerke der heute verlassenen Siedlung Bincknoll, die außerhalb der Burg entstand, kann man im Bincknoll Dip sehen, das sich auf einem Hang nach Norden erstreckt. Lage Das Gelände liegt westlich des Dorfes Wroughton und nördlich des Dorfes Broad Hinton. Die Wallburg Barbury Castle befindet sich etwa 5,6 km südöstlich davon. Das Gelände liegt 195 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel und ist leicht vom White Horse Trail und anderen öffentlichen Wanderwegen aus zu erreichen. Einzelnachweise Weblinks
Bincknoll Castle

Bincknoll Castle, or Bincknoll Camp, is the site of a possible Iron Age univallate hillfort in Wiltshire, England. The site lies on the end of a triangular promontory on the escarpment beneath the Ridgeway to the south. The steeply-contoured sides offer excellent natural defences, with only the level lands to the south offering easy access. The suggestion that the site originates in the Iron Age is currently unproven. Pottery found on site has been Roman or later in date. Geophysical fieldwork is planned in the near future, hopefully this will inform the debate about the castle's chronology. Pronounced 'Bynol' Castle, the current earthworks appear to demonstrate a Norman motte and bailey castle of considerable natural strength. It is likely that Gilbert of Breteuil, after the Norman Conquest, acquired a block of manors centred on Broad Hinton and built the castle to oversee them. The motte, now severely mutilated by later quarrying, measures approximately 52 metres in diameter by 3 metres high, and its ditch is 2.3 metres deep. The inner enclosure has a bank and ditch 3.4 metres high dividing it from the outer enclosure, with a causeway entrance. The earthworks of the now-deserted hamlet of Bincknoll, which grew up outside the castle, may be discerned in Bincknoll Dip, sloping away to the north. The site is a scheduled monument. Location The site is at grid reference SU107793, to the west of the village of Wroughton, and to the north of the village of Broad Hinton, in the county of Wiltshire. Barbury Castle hill fort is about 3.5 miles away to the south-east. The site has a summit of 195m AOD, and is accessible from public footpaths. See also List of hillforts in England References

Bindon Hill

Bindon Hill is an extensive Iron Age earthwork enclosing a coastal hill area on the Jurassic Coast near Lulworth Cove in Dorset, England, about 19 kilometres (12 mi) west of Swanage, about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south west of Wareham, and about 17 kilometres (11 mi) south east of Dorchester. It is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Hill fort The main rampart and external ditch (univallate) run for over 2 km along an east-west ridge parallel to the coast, which lies about 750 m to the south. The ridge rises to 168 m and the cliffs are 30–120 m high. At the western end, an incomplete series of ramparts curve back to the cliffs of Lulworth Cove. At the eastern end, the main rampart reaches the cliffs on the north side of Mupe Bay. The total enclosed area is about 110 ha. The enormous enclosed area, lack of evidence of settlement in the interior, and the impossibility of effectively defending such a large perimeter, all suggest it was primarily an enclosed pasture for domesticated animals, not a strategic tribal hill fort. Accessibility The Eastern half of Bindon Hill is only accessible when the Lulworth Ranges are open to the public. It can be reached by a short walk from West Lulworth, or alternatively via the South West Coast Path from Lulworth Cove. The ranges are owned by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and is part of the Armoured Fighting Vehicles (AFV) Gunnery School. The ranges are more than 2,830 hectares (7,000 acres). Visitors are advised to keep to official footpaths and abide to local site notices, because tanks and Armoured vehicles are used in this area. Safety warnings about explosives and unexploded shells are posted nearby by the MoD and there is a flashing warning lamp situated on the hill, which is illuminated when the ranges are in use.

Bingfield Park

Bingfield Park is a small park area located in the Caledonian Ward and parish of St. Michaels area of the London Borough of Islington. The Park has existed since about 1970 when the Beaconsfield Buildings (built by the Victoria Dwellings Association — Patron Benjamin Disraeli, British prime minister, the Earl of Beaconsfield.) were purchased by the Greater London Council and demolished. These Buildings were preceded by small holdings and cottages and known as Strouds Vale and bordered on to the areas known as Sutton Gardens, Belle Isle and Copenhagen fields. Also demolished was The Clarance Terrace, a red bricked six storey high terrace of apartments fronting on to Rufford Street (formerly Almina Road). At the western and northern perimeters, the Park joins Rufford Street; at the south perimeter it meets Bingfield Street. It is close to the disused York Road Underground station and York Way. The Park has an all-weather sports pitch and an adventure playground for children at its eastern end. The Park is a popular recreational area for people living in the locality.

Bingham Park

Bingham Park is one of the chain of Porter Valley Parks in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. Location Bingham Park is a park near Ecclesall and Ranmoor, Sheffield. It is the second (when travelling west from the city centre) of a line of parks and public open spaces along the Porter Brook, known as the Porter Valley Parks. To the north-east it is separated from the first in the chain, Endcliffe Park, by Rustlings Road, and to the west from Whiteley Woods by Highcliffe Road. National Cycle Route 6 passes through the park, utilising the Peak Park Anniversary cycle route. Description Bingham Park is a grassy area high on a hillside with views across the valley, to Ranmoor. A footpath, leaving Rustlings Road serpents the valley bottom towards Whiteley Woods. The footpath ends at Forge Dam Park, passing several dams of the Porter Brook, including Shepherd Wheel. The park possesses tennis courts, a mini golf course and a bowling green, an astroturf and has much woodland. The AstroTurf is commonly used by local footballers. History The first 11 acres (4.5 ha) of land which now forms Bingham Park was presented to Sheffield Corporation on 11 September 1911 by Sir John E. Bingham. In 1927 the land around an early water-powered scythe works and its dam were incorporated into the park. References External links Bingham Park, Friends of the Porter Valley
Binham Priory

Die Binham Priory ist ein weitgehend in Ruinen liegendes mittelalterliches Priorat des Benediktinerordens beim Dorf Binham in der Grafschaft Norfolk. Die Westteile der ehemaligen Prioratskirche dienen bis zum heutigen Tag als Pfarrkirche des kleinen Dorfes (Church of Saint Mary and the Holy Cross). Die Kirche ist als Grade-I-Bauwerk eingestuft. Lage Die Ruinen des ehemaligen Priorats sind nur etwa 2 km in nördlicher Richtung von der Nordsee entfernt; sie befinden sich auf dem Gebiet der Norfolk Coast (AONB). Nächstgrößere Stadt ist das knapp 50 km entfernte Norwich. Geschichte Das in Abhängigkeit von der Abtei von St Albans stehende Priorat wurde Ende des 11. Jahrhunderts von Peter de Valognes auf einem Gelände gegründet, dass er von Wilhelm dem Eroberer erhalten hatte. Im 12. und 13. Jahrhundert wurden bauliche Veränderungen an der normannischen Kirche vorgenommen, deren wichtigste die Neugestaltung der Westfassade im Stil der Gotik war. Im Zuge der Auflösung der englischen Klöster (1539) unter König Heinrich VIII. wurden die Klostergebäude und große Teile der Kirche (Chor, Seitenschiffe) zerstört. Das große zweigeteilte Westfenster wurde im 18. Jahrhundert mit einer Ziegelsteinmauer versehen. Architektur Das ehemals dreischiffige, heute nur noch einschiffige ca. 35 m lange und 15 m hohe Kircheninnere mit seinem dreigeschossigen Wandaufriss steht noch ganz in der Tradition des anglo-normannischen Stils. Die in den Jahren zwischen 1220 und 1244 entstandene Westfassade beschreitet hingegen vollkommen neue Wege; nach Ansicht vieler Forscher steht sie – zusammen mit der Westminster Abbey – zwischen dem Early English Style und dem Beginn des Decorated Style, der erstmals Maßwerkformen der französischen Hochgotik aufnimmt. Ausstattung Auf einem abgestuften Sockel im Eingangsbereich der Kirche steht ein spätgotisches Taufbecken aus dem 15. Jahrhundert mit Reliefdarstellungen der christlichen Sakramente. Literatur A. R.

Prieuré de Binham

Le prieuré St Mary, Binham, ou Prieuré de Binham, est un prieuré bénédictin en ruine situé dans le village de Binham, dans le comté anglais de Norfolk. Aujourd'hui, la nef de l'église prieurale, beaucoup plus grande à l'époque, est devenue l'église Sainte-Marie et Sainte-Croix et sert toujours de lieu de culte. Les vestiges du prieuré sont gérés par English Heritage. La façade ouest de l'abbaye est le premier exemple en Angleterre d'entrelacs de barres gothiques, précédant l'abbaye de Westminster d'une décennie. Histoire Le prieuré est fondé à la fin du XIe siècle, dépendant de l'abbaye de St Albans, par Pierre de Valognes et son épouse Albreda. Après la conquête normande, Peter se voit attribuer des terres dans l'ouest et le nord du Norfolk, parmi lesquelles tout le village de Binham. Le prieuré est doté de l'intégralité du manoir de Binham, faisant du prieur le seigneur du manoir, ainsi que des dîmes de treize autres églises de Norfolk. À l'origine, il comptait 8 moines, passant à 13 ou 14 au XIVe siècle avant de retomber à 6 immédiatement avant sa suppression en 1539. "Son histoire est celle d'un scandale presque continu." Beaucoup de ses prieurs se sont révélés sans scrupules et irresponsables. L'église du prieuré continue d'être utilisée pour les services paroissiaux. Le prieuré étant dédié à Marie et l'église à Sainte-Croix, il s'appelle Église prieurale Sainte-Marie et Sainte-Croix. Le monument aux morts de Binham est situé dans l'enceinte du prieuré de Binham et prend la forme d'une croix celtique en pierre.

Priorado de Binham

Priorado de Santa Maria, Binham, ou Priorado de Binham, é um priorado beneditino em ruínas localizado na aldeia de Binham no condado inglês de Norfolk. Hoje, a nave da igreja do priorado, muito maior, tornou-se a Igreja de Santa Maria e da Santa Cruz e ainda é utilizada como local de culto. Os vestígios do priorado estão sob os cuidados do English Heritage. A face oeste da abadia é o primeiro exemplo em Inglaterra de traceria de barras góticas, anterior à Abadia de Westminster numa década. De acordo com a English Heritage, a "história do Priorado de Binham é composta de repetidos escândalos". Muitos dos seus antecessores revelaram-se sem escrúpulos e irresponsáveis. História O Priorado de Binham foi fundado em 1091 como célula da Abadia de St Albans a pedido de Peter de Valognes, a quem foi concedido o feudo de Binham após a Conquista Normanda. O Priorado demorou cerca de 150 anos a ser concluído e ficou concluído em meados do século XIII. Tinha originalmente 8 monges, aumentando para 13 ou 14 no século XIV, antes de descer para 6 imediatamente antes da sua supressão em 1539. Em 1212, o Priorado de Binham foi cercado por Robert Fitzwalter devido a uma discussão entre Fitzwalter e a Abadia de St. Albans. O cerco foi levantado pelas forças do Rei João I. Em 1285, o Rei Eduardo I visitou o priorado, provavelmente durante uma peregrinação ao Priorado de Walsingham. Em 1381, os registos do priorado foram queimados durante a Grande Revolta, esta ação foi liderada por um homem local, John Lister, que foi um organizador da rebelião em Norfolk. Diz-se que um túnel Ley vai dos edifícios para um destino desconhecido e há relatos de que há muitos anos um violinista decidiu explorar estas passagens; podia ser ouvido a alguma distância antes de cessar subitamente. O violinista nunca mais foi visto. Em 1539, a maior parte do priorado foi destruída sob as ordens de Henrique VIII na dissolução dos mosteiros. A riqueza do priorado foi doada a um nobre local, Sir Thomas Paston, que desmontou alguns dos edifícios para fornecer pedras para uma casa em Wells-next-the-Sea. Outras demolições foram feitas pelo neto de Paston, Edward, que planeava construir uma nova casa em Binham, mas acabou por desistir do projeto. Referências
Bintry Watermill

Bintry Watermill is a historic watermill located on the River Wensum, approximately one mile (2 km) west of the village of Bintree in the English county of Norfolk. A watermill has likely occupied this site since 1454. The current structure is believed to have been constructed in the 1750s. Description The present building is constructed from red Norfolk brick, rising four storeys high with a three-bay design on the south-west elevation. The north-west elevation features two columns of windows. The lower two storeys of the mill date back to the 18th century, while the top floor was added in the 19th century. At the western end of the mill, there is a timber lucam (a covered sack hoist) built with shiplap construction. Although the wheelrace still runs beneath the mill, the waterwheel was removed in 1947 to create additional space for electrically powered machinery. Across the road stands a bridge with a dentilled cornice, from which the wheelrace once discharged back into the river. The corner of the building is cut away to accommodate the curve of the road around the gable. Miller's cottage Attached to the east side of the mill is the miller's cottage, which features a chequered-patterned brick gable end. The cottage includes a Georgian doorcase. In the 19th century, the roof was raised to incorporate two dormer windows. Film set In 1996, the watermill at Bintry was used by the BBC as a filming location for their adaptation of George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss, which aired on 1 January 1997. The adaptation starred Emily Watson as Maggie Tulliver and Bernard Hill as Mr. Tulliver. Additionally, the mill served as the location for the 1989 filming of the Campion episode "Sweet Danger."

Birch Hall Inn

Birch Hall Inn is a public house founded around 1860 in Beck Hole in the North York Moors, England. It is designated as a Grade II listed building. It is noted for its small bars and shop, and interior, and is popular with hiking tourists on holiday in the area. History and description There is documentary evidence of a building on the site dating to at least the 17th century. The original construction of the current building is thought date to the mid or late 18th century, consisting of a building of two single storey cottages. Contemporary with the arrival of the Whitby to Pickering Railway and the establishment of the Whitby Iron Company in Beck Hole, in the mid 19th century, the landlords, Ralph and Mary Dowson added a second floor to the original cottages, and added a three-storey extension to the building, originally used as a shop with tenements above for industrial workers. The painter Algernon Newton created a pub sign for the inn during his stay in Beck Hole in the 1940s. The main bar 'Big Bar' is within one of the original cottages, a second bar, the 'Little Bar' was added after the Second World War in the Victorian three-storey extension. A very small shop in the building sells sweets and postcards. The building is Grade II listed, and the interior, relatively unchanged since the 1930s is listed in CAMRA's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.

Birchanger Green services

Birchanger Green services is a motorway service station on the M11 motorway at Birchanger near Stansted in Essex, England. It is owned by Welcome Break. History It was sited on 28 acres (11 ha) at Start Hill. It was to be called 'Stansted Green'. The local parish council wanted the site just to be called 'Birchanger'. The site should have opened in March 1993, as for 16 years there had been no services on the motorway. Forte stopped planning work in 1992, and resumed in November 1993. There would be 200 staff and room for 320 cars, and 75 trucks, with seating for 270. After 12 months of building, it opened at 7 am 9 March 1995. Audrey Brown was the first customer, travelling from Peterborough to London. The official opening was on Friday 28 April 1995 by the local MP Alan Haselhurst. The Travelodge opened on 23 October 1995, costing £34.50 per night. Construction The architect was Roy Millard Associates of Bishop's Stortford. The consulting engineer Marks, Heeley and Brothwell of Bishop Stortford. Customers Birchanger Green services scored a 95% satisfaction rating according to a Motorway Services User Survey conducted by Transport Focus in 2019. References External links Official website
