Beauchief Gardens

Beauchief Gardens is a small area of formal parkland in south-west Sheffield. The gardens lie between Abbeydale Road South to the north-west, the River Sheaf and the railway line to the south and Beauchief Dam to the east. The gardens were donated to the city by the J. G. Graves Trust in 1935, following the earlier donation, two years previously, of Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet (immediately downstream). The gardens had always been well kept and had their own gardener. The level of care had declined until the 1990s, when the Friends of Millhouses Park accepted the challenge of restoring the gardens. Clean-up events were organised in November 2004 and March 2005 to bring back the gardens to an acceptable level, which is the state the gardens are in now. The gardens are a formal and neat grassed area, planted with coniferous trees and with the Limb Brook running through. The stream traverses the gardens and fills up Beauchief Dam. References
Beaufront Castle

Beaufront Castle er et privatejet country house fra 1800-tallet nær Hexham, Northumberland, England. Der er kilder på, at der eksisterede et pele tower ved Beaufront i 1415. Dorothy Carnaby, arving til ejendommen i 1500-tallet, giftede sig med Gilbert Errington, og Errington-familien opførte et nyt hus i 1600-tallet. Ejendommen overgik til Cuthbert-familien i begyndelsen af 1800-tallet, og de opførte den nuværende herregård i nygotisk stil mellem 1836 og 1841, men inkorporerede dele af huset fra 1600-tallet, med tegninger af arkitekten John Dobson. William Cuthbert var High Sheriff i Northumberland i 1860. Det er en listed building af første grad. Se også Liste over borge og slotte i England Referencer Eksterne henvisninger

Beaulieu Palace House

Das Beaulieu Palace House ist ein Herrenhaus aus dem 13. Jahrhundert im New Forest in der englischen Grafschaft Hampshire. Das Anwesen gehörte ursprünglich zur Beaulieu Abbey, aber nach der Auflösung der englischen Klöster kaufte es 1538 Thomas Wriothesley, 1. Earl of Southampton, und es gehört heute noch seinen Nachfahren, den Baronen Montagu of Beaulieu. Geschichte Beaulieu Palace House wurde ursprünglich im 13. Jahrhundert als Torhaus der Beaulieu Abbey errichtet. Nach der Auflösung der englischen Klöster kaufte Sir Thomas Wriothesley, später zum 1. Earl of Southampton ernannt, 1538 das Anwesen. Das Haus kam durch Heirat in die Familie Montagu und gehört noch heute einem Familienangehörigen, Ralph Douglas-Scott-Montagu, 4. Baron Montagu of Beaulieu. Im 16. Jahrhundert wurde das Haus erweitert und noch einmal im 19. Jahrhundert. Heute gilt es als schönes Beispiel eines gotischen Landhauses. Das Haus steht über den Beaulieu River und ist von Wiesen und Spazierwegen umgeben. Das Innere wurde in viktorianischem Stil erhalten. Obwohl dort noch Lord Montagu mit seiner Familie lebt, sind Haus und Gärten täglich öffentlich zugänglich. Es gehört zum Konsortium Treasure Houses of England. Das Palace House ist Teil der Besucherattraktionen von Beaulieu: Beaulieu Abbey National Motor Museum Beaulieu Palace House World of Top Gear Secret Army Exhibition – eine Ausstellung über das Training der Special Operations Executive in Beaulieu im Zweiten Weltkrieg Gärten Englands älteste Einschienenbahn Geschichten und Legenden Beaulieu ist laut der offiziellen Website einer der am häufigsten von Geistern heimgesuchten Orte im Vereinigten Königreich. Berichte über Geistersichtungen gehen bis zu 100 Jahre zurück, möglicherweise sogar bis zur Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts. Zahlreiche paranormale Forscher haben Untersuchungen in der Abtei durchgeführt, auch Arthur Conan Doyle, der behauptete, er hätte während einer Séance im Beaulieu Palace House Kontakt mit einem Geist gehabt. Eine Dame in blau oder grau, die gesehen worden sein soll, wie sie in den Privaträumen durch Wände ging und viel Lärm machte, soll der Geist der Countess of Beaulieu, Lady Isabella, sein, die 1786 verstorben ist. Über den Geruch von Weihrauch in einem Raum des Beaulieu Palace House, der im Mittelalter als Kapelle genutzt wurde, hat auch Edward Douglas-Scott-Montagu, 3. Baron Montagu of Beaulieu, berichtet. Dieser Geruch zeigt angeblich eine Tragödie für die Bewohner der Abtei oder des Dorfes an. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Offizielle Website von Beaulieu Palace House.
Beaulieu Palace House

Beaulieu Palace House ( BEW-lee) is a 13th-century house in Beaulieu, Hampshire, United Kingdom. Originally part of Beaulieu Abbey, the estate was bought in 1538 by Thomas Wriothesley, 1st Earl of Southampton, following the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It is still owned and occupied by the earl's descendants, the Barons Montagu of Beaulieu. History Beaulieu Palace House was originally built in the 13th century as the gatehouse of Beaulieu Abbey. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the estate was purchased by Sir Thomas Wriothesley, later 1st Earl of Southampton, in 1538. The house passed through marriage into the Montagu family and is still owned by the 1st Earl's descendant, the 4th Baron Montagu of Beaulieu. The house was extended in the 16th century, and again in the 19th century, and is today a fine example of a Gothic country house. The house overlooks Beaulieu River and is surrounded by lawns and walkways. The inside of the house has been kept in a Victorian style. King James I stayed at six times at Beaulieu during his progresses in south-west England. Stands were built for the royal party to watch football and animal baiting. In August 1613, James gave an audience to the Venetian ambassador Antonio Foscarini at Beaulieu. Although still home to the current Lord and Lady Montagu, parts of the house and gardens are open daily to the public. It is a member of the Treasure Houses of England consortium. The Palace House is open to the public as part of the visitor attraction known as "Beaulieu", which includes: Beaulieu Abbey National Motor Museum Beaulieu Palace House Secret Army Exhibition – an exhibit about the Special Operations Executive training at Beaulieu during World War II Gardens A monorail Rides In film The 1936 British Pathé film, Miniature Railway, (ID Number 1222.23), is a 1':40" long feature which shows (Miss.) "Mary Cook" driving the engine around the grounds. In the film Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont, Mrs. Palfrey takes her new young friends to see the Beaulieu Palace where she used to visit with her husband when they were first married. Local folklore and legend Beaulieu, according to the official website, is one of the most haunted places in Britain, with reported sightings going back over a hundred years, and possibly as far as the mid-16th century. Numerous paranormal investigators have conducted research at the abbey, including Arthur Conan Doyle, who it is claimed made contact with a ghost during a séance at Palace House. A lady in blue or grey, reportedly sighted walking through walls and making a lot of noise in the private apartments, is believed to be the ghost of the Countess of Beaulieu, Lady Isabella, who died in 1786. The smell of incense, which allegedly signals tragedy for the people of the abbey or the village, was also reported by Edward Douglas-Scott-Montagu, 3rd Baron Montagu of Beaulieu among others in a room of the Palace House used as a chapel in the Middle Ages.

Beaumont School, St Albans

Beaumont School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in St Albans, Hertfordshire, England. It was founded in 1938 and has become a school of over 1600 students, including 500 in the sixth form. It is situated to the east of St Albans in Hertfordshire and is within access of the city centre. In 2003 it achieved a Language College status and in 2007, having been identified as a High Performing Specialist School, Beaumont was then able to obtain a second specialism as a Maths and Computing College. In 2007 Beaumont achieved the International Award from the British Council and offered the International Baccalaureate as an alternative to A-levels; as of 2011 the IB is no longer offered at Beaumont school. A December 2008 Ofsted inspection accorded the school a Grade 2 (good), whilst the sixth form achieved an outstanding rating. The school converted to academy status on 1 July 2012. In 2014 Ofsted awarded Beaumont an Outstanding rating following a full inspection. History The school was founded in 1938, at around the same time as much of the neighbouring residential area was built. The school takes its name from Beaumonts Manor (later Beaumonts Farm), a manor house whose land once encompassed much of the surrounding area. Forms and Houses In September 2009, the school introduced a system of six houses with a form in every year, one for each of the letters of the word "L E A R N S". Students were able to vote for the names of the Houses, resulting up in the following: Luther King, Elgar, Austen, Redgrave, Newton and Seacole. As of 2018, a new letter was added, resulting in the word "B L E A R N S", the letter "B" standing for "Butler", representing the feminist and social reformer Josephine Butler. In the school year of 2022–2023, a new house was introduced, called Turing, named after the mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing. Consequently, the letter "T" was added, forming the new acronym "B L E A R N S T". Interform competitions between year group forms are encouraged and take place regularly; testing a variety of skills including sports competitions, science challenges and drama performances. This allows all pupils to demonstrate their different abilities. BeauSandVer Education Trust The school works in partnership with two neighbouring schools via a consortium, to enhance post-16 educational provision. In 2016, the three schools launched the BeauSandVer Education Trust which consists of Sandringham School, Verulam School and Beaumont School. Students travel between schools using the consortium bus service, with students able to study A level, BTEC, and CTEC courses at multiple schools, allowing access to a broader curriculum. In the 2020-2021 school year, the combined sixth form reached 1000 current students. References

Beccles Lido

Beccles Lido is an open-air pool at Puddingmoor, Beccles, Suffolk, on the south bank of the River Waveney. Description The lido is 30 x 16 metres with a 1-metre springboard, small slide, paddling pool and sunbathing area. It is normally open from late May to early September. It was closed throughout 2009 but reopened August 2010 following a change of ownership and subsequent refurbishment. History The lido was constructed in 1959 on the site of an older bathing pool. Prior to that swimmers used a fenced off part of the River Waveney in the town. Heating was installed in 1975. In 2004 Waveney District Council announced plans to close the lido and to build an indoor swimming pool. In reaction to these plans, the Friends of Beccles Outdoor Pool campaign started in 2006. In 2009, Waveney District Council decided they would no longer manage the Beccles Lido (nor Halesworth Open Air Pool) after April 2009 so neither opened. Beccles Lido Limited was created and they re-opened the lido in 2010. The chairman of Beccles Lido, Maureen Saunders, won a community pride award in July 2009 for her work campaigning for the lido and establishing the management company. Beccles Swimming Pool is one of the town’s most popular summer sporting attractions providing not only a pleasant riverside leisure spot for local people and holiday visitors alike but also valuable service as a place where people can learn to swim.

Beck Isle Museum

The Beck Isle Museum of Rural Life is a social history museum in Pickering, North Yorkshire, England. The museum features period business displays including the shops of a barber, blacksmith, chemist, cobbler, cooper, printer, gentleman's draper, dairy, and hardware store. There is also a Victorian-era pub and parlour, and a historic costume gallery. Its collection is housed in a fine regency period Grade II* listed mansion with farm outbuildings. Among the collections are the photography and photographic equipment of Sydney Smith (1884–1958), noted photographer of Pickering. Despite poor eyesight due to a childhood affliction with measles, Smith developed a love of photography, opening a photographic business in the 1900s and operating it with his wife, Maud, until World War I. Maud ran the shop while Smith fought in World War I, and after his return from the war he "gave up photography in order to run a garage on Park Street", though he continued to "spend all his spare time taking photographs". The images from the collection number several thousand, and a number are on display throughout the museum. Most of the images date from the 1920s to the late 1940s and are of Pickering and the surrounding villages, events, and local people. Smith's collection was described in 2000 as presenting "a remarkable picture of the Rydale area as it was more than half a century ago."
