Wimpole Hall

Wimpole Hall es una casa de campo localizada en la Parroquia de Wimpole, en el condado de Cambridgeshire, en Inglaterra, a unos 14 km al suroeste de Cambridge. La casa se empezó en 1640, y sus 1215 ha de parques y tierras de cultivo son propiedad del Nacional Trust y por lo general está abierto al público. Wimpole es la mayor casa de campo en Cambridgeshire. Durante siglos, los más famosos arquitectos trabajaron en ella, incluyendo su primer propietario, Thomas Chicheley (entre 1640 y 1670), James Gibbs (entre 1713 y 1730), James Thornhill (1721), Henry Flitcroft (sobre 1749), John Soane (en la década de 1790), y H. E. Kendall (década de 1840). Antes de la construcción del actual Wimpole Hall en torno a 1640, hubo una pequeña casa señorial en un pequeño bosque de ciervos de 81 ha. Situados al norte y al sur de esta casa había tres pueblos medievales: Bennall End, Thresham End y Green End. Los terrenos de Wimpole Hall fueron diseñados y modificados por diseñadores de paisajes tales como George London y Henry Wise (entre 1693 y 1705), Charles Bridgeman (en la década de 1720), Robert Greening (en la década de 1740), Capability Brown (1767), y Humphry Repton (entre 1801 y 1809). El parque tal como existe hoy es una superposición del trabajo de estos paisajistas y jardineros, y se concluyó bajo los auspicios de Elsie y George Bambridge. Elsie, la hija de Rudyard Kipling revitalizó la casa. Gracias a sus esfuerzos, esta propiedad del Nacional Trust se encuentra en el estado en que se encuentra en la actualidad. La gran avenida principal de Bridgeman se extiende desde la fachada sur de la casa, con una extensión de 4 km.El ‘’Parque Norte’’ es particularmente atractivo con sus cinturones de bosques, suaves colinas y los distintos macizos de árboles. La característica central del Parque Norte es la torre gótica y los lagos restaurados en el valle. En los terrenos de la casa hay una cadena de lagos, una iglesia, una Torre Gótica (de adorno); una granja, y un jardín vallado del siglo XVIII. Propietarios Los propietarios de los terrenos actuales, en orden cronológico, han sido: 1640 - Sir Thomas Chicheley (c.1613–1699) 1686 - Sir John Cutler 1693 - Charles Robartes, 2º Conde de Radnor (1660–1723) 1710 - John Holles, 1º Duque de Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 4º Conde de Clare (d.1711) 1711 - Henrietta Holles 1713 - Edward Harley, II Conde de Oxford y Conde Mortimer (1689–1741) 1740 - Philip Yorke, 1º Conde de Hardwicke (1690–1764) 1764 - Philip Yorke, 2º Conde de Hardwicke (1720–1790) 1790 - Philip Yorke, 3º Conde de Hardwicke (1757–1834) 1834 - Charles Yorke, 4º Conde de Hardwicke (1799–1873) 1873 - Charles Yorke, 5º Conde de Hardwicke ('Champagne Charlie') 1894 - Thomas Charles Agar-Robartes, 6º Vizconde Clifden 1919 - Francis Gerald Agar-Robartes, 7º Vizconde Clifden 1938 - El Capitán y Mrs George Bambridge 1976 - El National Trust Enlaces externos Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre Wimpole Hall.

Wimpole Hall

Wimpole Hall, beläget ca 14 km sydväst om Cambridge i England, är en av de största egendomarna i grevskapet Cambridgeshire. Slottet byggdes 1643, men kom senare att byggas om och byggas ut av senare ägare, bland dem earlerna av Hardwicke, som innehade Wimpole Hall från 1740 till 1895. Man anlitade ofta de bästa arkitekterna för sin tid, till exempel James Gibbs, Henry Flitcroft och sir John Soane. Egendomen var privat fram till 1976, då den sista ägaren, mrs Elsie Bambridge avled. Hon hade testamenterat allt till the National Trust, som sedan dess förvaltar slottet. Det är omgivet av ca 12 km² park- och jordbruksmark.

Winchester City Mill

The Winchester City Mill is a restored water mill situated on the River Itchen in the centre of the ancient English city of Winchester. The mill is owned by the National Trust and is a Grade II* listed building. History The mill was recorded, milling corn, in the Domesday Book of 1086. However, there are earlier references going back to 932 in the cathedral records. In 989 Queen Ælfthryth (wife of Edgar), had passed the mill to the nuns of Wherwell Abbey. Dendrochronological measurements date some of the timbers to the 11th Century. It was originally known as Eastgate Mill because it lay just outside the east gate of the city of Winchester, but was renamed City Mill when it was given to the city by Mary I following her marriage to Philip II of Spain at Winchester Cathedral in 1554 The mill was last rebuilt in 1744 by James Cook, a tanner. A sketch made by the artist J. M. W. Turner in 1795 shows that the building and millraces today are relatively unchanged. In 1820 the Corporation sold the mill to John Benham whose family owned the mill until the early 1900s. During the late 1890s, City Mill struggled financially owing to competition from adjacent mills at Durngate and Wharf Hill, and had ceased operation by 1910. The mill was used as a laundry during World War I, then became derelict. In 1928 the building was at risk of demolition; but it was saved by a group of benefactors who bought the mill and presented it to the National Trust. In 1931 the mill was leased to the Youth Hostels Association for use as a hostel, a usage that continued until 2005. In 2004, a 12-year restoration program came to a successful conclusion, and after a hiatus of at least 90 years the mill again milled flour by water power. The water wheel has subsequently been run daily throughout the year with flour milling demonstrations at weekends. The mill building also houses a National Trust café and shop. Otter Watch In partnership with the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust and the Environment Agency, night-vision cameras have been set up to monitor the river passing under the mill and record images of otters passing through. Recordings of sightings are played back on a monitor in the stone floor area. References External links National Trust web pages on Winchester City Mill. Map sources for Winchester City Mill.
Winchester College Ground

Winchester College Ground is a cricket ground in Winchester, Hampshire. It is located in the historic grounds of Winchester College, with evidence suggesting cricket in Winchester dates back to the 17th century. The present ground, which is also known as New Field or Ridding Field, dates from 1869 when the then headmaster George Ridding bought land south of "meads", the original venue for college cricket, and donated it to the college. The ground held its only first-class cricket match in 1875, when Hampshire played Kent. Hampshire, who were captained by Clement Booth, were dismissed for just 34 in their first-innings. In response, Kent were dismissed for 333, giving them a lead of 299. Hampshire fared little better in their second-innings, making just 82 to lose the match by an innings and 217 runs. Until 1888 the pitch lay east–west, after which it was moved to lay north–south, a position retained to this day. The original pavilion at the ground was constructed in memory of Herbert Webbe; it was destroyed in 1935, with a replacement constructed. The ground is still used by the college for matches against Eton College and Harrow School, and by the Old Wykehamist Cricket Club.

Winchester Law Courts

The Winchester Law Courts is a judicial facility just off the High Street in Winchester, Hampshire, England. As well as accommodating the Crown Court, which deals with criminal cases, the complex also accommodates the County Court and the Winchester District Registry of the High Court. History Until the early 1970s, judicial hearings in Winchester were held in the Great Hall of Winchester Castle. However, as the number of court cases in Winchester grew, it became necessary to commission a dedicated courthouse. The site selected by the Lord Chancellor's Department, which was just to the east of the Great Hall, formed part of a larger scheme initiated by Hampshire County Council to form a new civic square, with the proposed law courts to the south, Trafalgar House to the east and Three Minsters House to the north. Construction of the new building started in 1966. It was designed in outline by Louis de Soissons and in detail by Richard Fraser in the modernist style, built in stone with brick and flint panels at a cost of £2.6 million and was officially opened by the Lord Chancellor, Lord Hailsham, on 22 February 1974. The design involved twelve bays which alternated between (i) stone-cased bays which projected forward and featured flint panels on the lower floors and tripartite casement windows on the top floor (ii) bays which were recessed and featured tri-partite casement windows on the first three floors and brick panels on the upper floors. Internally, the building was laid out to accommodate 15 courtrooms. Until the mid-1990s, the complex also contained magistrates' courts, and these temporarily returned in 2011 whilst the court buildings in Basingstoke were being refurbished. A sculpture, by Rachel Fenner, recalling elements of the legend of King Arthur was commissioned to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II and unveiled in the civic square in front off the courthouse in 2013. In February 2017, in an attempt to make the criminal justice system less London-centric, the then Lord Chief Justice, Lord Thomas, presided at a sitting of the Court of Appeal at Winchester. Notable cases include the trial and conviction of Rose West, in November 1995, for ten murders, and the trial and conviction of Britain's youngest female murderer, Sharon Carr, for the murder of Katie Rackliff in March 1997.

Winchmore School

Winchmore School is an 11–18 mixed, community secondary school and sixth form in Winchmore Hill, Greater London, England. It was established in 1956 as a secondary modern school and has been a specialist arts college since 2004. History Winchmore council school was established in 1914 in Highfield Road for infants and juniors. In 1932, a secondary department was added, which became a secondary modern school after reorganisation following the Education Act 1944. In 1956, the seniors moved to the newly established Winchmore School on the opposite side of Highfield Road. It was converted to a comprehensive school in 1967. In 2001, it was identified by Ofsted as achieving better results than other schools with its students who were of Black-Caribbean origin, who made up 13 per cent of the students at that time. In the present day the school teaches students mainly from the surrounding areas of Edmonton (N9, N18), Palmers Green (N13), Winchmore Hill (N21), Tottenham (N17) and Wood Green (N22). Although the school is situated in a relatively affluent area it accepts students from a variety of backgrounds with around 30% of students claiming benefits and free school meals. Over 90% of the schools students come from minority ethnic backgrounds with a notable amount students coming from Turkish, Albanian, Jamaican, Somalian and Nigerian backgrounds. Buildings The school is made up of 4 main buildings, two three-floor buildings and two two-floor buildings. The newest building the school currently has on its site is a two-floor building that finished construction in 2024 to accommodate the schools growing sixth-form. After 1956, the school continued to make use of prefabricated building on the primary school site for many years. It was initially called Winchmore Secondary Modern and its headmaster was Mr Shepherd. Later the school changed its name to Winchmore School. Jackson family In 2009 Tito Jackson visited the school and spoke to a group of students. Following this, Katherine Jackson gave a trophy to the school, which the headteacher awarded to a pupil who had "made a great contribution in every sphere of expressive arts".

Windlestone Hall

Windlestone Hall ist ein Landhaus beim Dorf Rushyford im englischen County Durham. Das Gebäude aus dem 19. Jahrhundert hat English Heritage als historisches Bauwerk II*. Grades gelistet. Die Familie Eden, die die Grundherrschaft von Windlestone im 17. Jahrhundert innehatte, war im englischen Bürgerkrieg royalistisch eingestellt und Colonel Robert Eden, der in der königlichen Armee gedient hatte, war gezwungen, sich mit den Behörden über die Rückgabe seines konfiszierten Anwesens zu einigen. Nach der Stuart-Restauration 1660 wurde sein Enkel, der ebenfalls Robert Eden hieß, 1672 zum Baronet, of West Auckland in the County of Durham, erhoben. 1835 ließ der 5. Baronet, Robert Johnson Eden, das Herrenhaus aus dem 16. Jahrhundert durch ein neues Landhaus nach den Entwürfen von Ignatius Bonomi ersetzen. Die mit einer Balustrade versehene Eingangsfront mit zwölf Jochen zeigt nach Osten. Eine dorische Kolonnade, ebenfalls mit einer Balustrade versehen, erstreckt sich über neun Joche des Erdgeschosses. Auf der Nordseite endet das Gebäude in einer großen Apsis. Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde im Nordosten ein Billardraum angebaut. Nach dem Tod des 5. Baronets 1844 fielen das Anwesen und der Baronetstitel an seinen Neffen zweiten Grades, Sir William Eden, schon den Titel 4. Baronet, of Maryland, führte. Er war 1848 High Sheriff of Durham. In diesem Haus wurde 1897 Anthony Eden geboren, der 1955–1957 britischen Premierminister war; er war ein jüngerer Sohn des 7. Baronet. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg diente das Haus als Kriegsgefangenenlager, eine Außenstelle des Harperley-Kriegsgefangenenlagers 93. Von 1957 bis 2006 war in Windlestone Hall die gleichnamige Schule, eine örtliche Sonderschule, untergebracht. Nach Schließung der Schule verkaufte die Grafschaftsverwaltung das Anwesen 2011 für £ 240.000 an ‚‘William Davenport‘‘, einen privaten Investor. Die Grafschaftsverwaltung von County Durham wurde für den Verkauf kritisiert, insbesondere, als die Windlestone Hall drei Jahre später für £ 2.500.000 – mehr als die zehnfache Summe – erneut zum Verkauf stand. Der Investor Davenport musste 2016 zu einer Freiheitsstrafe von sechs Jahren verurteilt, weil er für den Kauf des Hauses und des Anwesens gefälschte Dokumente benutzt hatte. Einzelnachweise
Windmill Hill, Kent

Windmill Hill is an area of Gravesend, Kent. It is named for its erstwhile windmills, offers extensive views across the Thames, and was a popular spot for Victorian visitors to the town, because of the Camera obscura installed in the old mill and for its tea gardens and other amusements. The hill was the site of a beacon in 1377, which was instituted by Richard II, and still in use 200 years later at the time of the Spanish Armada, although the hill was then known as "Rouge Hill". A modern beacon was erected and lit, by then-Mayor Peter Hart, during 1988, for the 400th anniversary of the defeat of the Spanish Armada. During the reign of Elizabeth I the first windmill was placed on top the highest point in Gravesend, 179 ft (55 m) above the high water mark of the river. One mill burnt down in 1763, but was replaced the following year and was demolished, having become derelict, in 1894 - the last surviving windmill on the hill. The adjacent public house was destroyed by fire during Mafeking Night celebrations in 1900. In August 1606 King James, Anne of Denmark, her brother Christian IV of Denmark, and Prince Henry came to Upnor Castle. They had dinner aboard the Elizabeth Jonas. After dinner they took coaches to Windmill Hill to watch naval cannon salutes. During World War I a German airship passed over Windmill Hill and dropped bombs on it. Today there are three markers indicating where these bombs struck. Windmill Hill is one of Gravesham's 24 conservation areas. The 'Windmill Hill Association', Gravesham Borough Council looks after matters related to the area and holds regular meetings to discuss local issues. References
Windmill Tump

Windmill Tump (auch Rodmarton Long Barrow genannt) ist ein neolithischer Cairn oder Tumulus südwestlich des Dorfes Rodmarton, südlich der Straße zwischen Cherington und Tarlton in Gloucestershire in England, auf dem Bäume wachsen. Die zwischen 3000 und 2500 v. Chr. entstandene Struktur besteht aus etwa 5.000 Tonnen Stein unter einem Erdhügel. Das west-ost-orientierte Cotswold Severn Tomb ist etwa 21,0 m breit und 60,0 m lang. Die einzig sichtbaren Steine sind der Teil einer Scheintür (englisch false entrance oder false door) an der Ostseite des Hügels. Grabungen fanden 1863 und 1939 statt, wobei der Hügel restauriert wurde. Der Hügel enthält seitlich, im vorderen Teil, hinter dem falschen Eingang zwei Kammern mit Seelenloch-Zugängen im Norden und Süden. Sie enthielten die Überreste von zehn Erwachsenen und drei Kindern. Tierreste, darunter Eberhauer, Pferdezähne und Rinderknochen, wurden auch entdeckt. Zwei etwa 2,6 m hohe Steine und ein dritter, größerer, dagegen gelehnter Stein, anscheinend in dieser Position platziert, wurden bei der ersten Grabung freigelegt. Diese spezielle Anordnung war ähnlich der von Hügelgräbern in Kilkenny, in Irland und in Cornwall. Der dritte Stein wurde vermutlich als Opferaltar genutzt. Eine weitere Kammer wurde später im Westen im hinteren Teil der Nordseite des Hügels entdeckt. Sie war teilweise in den Untergrund eingeschnitten und über Treppen zugänglich. Der Nachweis einer strukturierten Randsteineinfassung und ebenfalls stabilisierender Querwände im Hügel wurde ebenfalls erbracht. Der Hügel ist heute weitgehend von modernem Trockenmauerwerk eingefasst und von einem Holzzaun umgeben. Literatur Timothy C. Darvill: Long barrows of the Cotswolds and surrounding areas.
