Altar Stone (Stonehenge)

The Altar Stone is a recumbent central megalith at Stonehenge in England, dating to Stonehenge phase 3i, around 2600 BCE. It is identified as Stone 80 in scholarly articles. Its name probably comes from a 1620 comment by Inigo Jones who wrote: ‘... whether it might be an Altar or no I leave to the judgment of others’. Composition, origin, and situation The Altar Stone is made of a purplish-green micaceous sandstone and was thought to have originated from outcrops of the Senni Beds formation of the Old Red Sandstone in Wales, though this has not been fully established. Research published in 2024 claims to show that "the Altar Stone’s age fingerprint identifies it as coming from the Orcadian Basin in north-east Scotland". Stone 55 (a sarsen megalith) lies on top of Stone 80 (Altar Stone) perpendicularly, and is thought to have fallen across it. The overall dimensions of the Altar Stone at Stonehenge and its geometry (measuring 4.9 m long by 1 m wide by 0.5 m thick). Some believe that it always was recumbent. It is sometimes classed as a bluestone, because it does not have a local provenance. Stone 80 was most recently excavated in the 1950s, but no written records of the excavation survive, and there are no samples available for examination that are established as having come from the monolith.

Amberley Castle

Amberley Castle liegt im Dorf Amberley in der englischen Grafschaft West Sussex. Die Burg wurde als Herrenhaus im 12. Jahrhundert errichtet und 1377 befestigt. Sie erhielt eine Befestigung in rhombischer Form mit hohen Burgmauern, Türmen au jeder der Ecken, einem Rittersaal und einem Tor. Die Bischöfe von Chichester nutzten die Burg als Festung. Die Mauern, das Tor und zwei der Türme sind bis heute erhalten, wurden von English Heritage als historisches Gebäude I. Grades gelistet und dienen heute als Hotel. Geschichte Der Grund, auf dem die Burg steht, gehörte den Bischöfen von Chichester. Das erste urkundlich erwähnte Gebäude an diesem Standort war eine 1103 von Bischof Ralph de Luffa errichtete hölzerne Lodge. Diese wurde 1140 von Bischof Seffrid I. abgebrochen und durch eine feiner gestaltete, steinerne Halle ersetzt, an die Bischof Seffried II. 1200 einen Ostflügel anbauen ließ. Ein größerer Rittersaal wurde von Bischof John Langton zwischen 1305 und 1307 hinzugefügt und das Anwesen wurde zum Sommerpalast der Bischöfe von Chichester. Bischof William Reade ließ den Rittersaal abreißen und ersetzte ihn durch einen schöneren. 1377 ersuchte er um Befestigung des Anwesens, bekam die Erlaubnis und fügte das Torhaus mit Kerker hinzu. Zwölf Meter hohe Mauern wurden um das gesamte Anwesen gebaut. Bischof Robert Sherborne, der 1536 starb, war der letzte Bischof von Chichester, der die Burg selbst nutzte. Anschließend wurde sie an eine Reihe von Lehensleuten vergeben. Im englischen Bürgerkrieg veranlasste der royalistische Lehnsherr Oliver Cromwell, seinen General William Waller anzuweisen, die Burg anzugreifen. Dadurch wurden die Mauern auf eine Höhe von sechs Metern geschleift und der Rittersaal zerstört. Die Burg wurde an einen Mr Butler verkauft, aber nach der Restauration der Monarchie 1660 für den Bischof von Chichester wieder hergestellt. Die Butlers blieben Lehensleute, gefolgt von den Briscoes. 1872 wurde die Burg an Lord Zouche verkauft, der sie als Jagdschloss nutzte und 1893 an Henry Fitzalan-Howard, 15. Duke of Norfolk, weiterveräußerte. Der als „Bauherzog“ bekannte 15. Duke renovierte die Burg, modernisierte Arundel Castle und ließ die Kathedrale von Arundel bauen. 1926 kam die Burg in die Hände der Familie Emmett, 1982 in die von Hollis Baker, 1987 in die einer US-amerikanischen Familie und 1988 in die von Joy und Martin Cummings, die sie in ein Restaurant umwandelten. Von 2004 bis 2011 gehörte die Burg Relais & Château. Die stark veränderte Burg gehört heute (2014) Andrew und Christina Brownsword und ist ein Hotel der Brownsword Hotel Group.

Amersham Hospital

Amersham Hospital is located in Amersham, Buckinghamshire. It is one of three hospitals in the Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust. History An infirmary, which replaced the limited medical facilities in the local workhouse, was built at a cost of £3,400 with 34 beds and opened in 1906. It was renamed St Mary's Hospital in 1924 and extended in 1929. The site, which was further extended by wooden huts during the Second World War, became the Amersham General Hospital in 1948. A new building to accommodate out-patients and casualties was opened in 1959, a new geriatric block was opened in 1967 and a new suite of operating theatres was opened in 1983. The Haleacre unit, which is guarded by high metal fencing and visibly secure fixtures and fittings inside and provides in-patient care for mentally ill people, opened in 1992. A redevelopment scheme over much of the site was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract in the late 1990s. The construction work was carried out by Taylor Woodrow and completed in 2000 as part of a scheme across the South Buckinghamshire hospitals at a cost of some £45 million.

Following the opening of the girls' school, the Raans County Secondary School, which had opened in 1956 as a mixed school, became a boys' school. In 1988, Raans Secondary School merged with Brudenell School, to become the Amersham School. Notable alumni include Olympic Athlete Nicola Sanders. Academic results The examination results at Amersham School have risen dramatically in recent years, with 70% of pupils achieving at least five GCSEs at grades A*-C in 2010. 50% of pupils achieved five GCSEs at grades A*-C including English and Mathematics. A Level and BTEC results are also at an all-time high, with a 42% pass rate and 10% of grades at A-C. The school's 2016 GCSE results had a Progress 8 score of 0.27, which is above the national average for schools in England, and 79% of pupils earned A*-C grades in GCSE English and Maths. The 2016 A-Level results were in line with the national average, with a progress score of −0.22 and an average grade of E+. Amersham School qualifies for some university admissions to be contextual.
