Howbery Park

Howbery Park is a 36-ha park located adjacent to the River Thames in Crowmarsh Gifford near Wallingford, UK. Its main feature is an English manor house built in about 1850 by Member of Parliament (MP) William Seymour Blackstone. Blackstone fell into debt, largely because of the building costs, which resulted in him spending time in the debtors' prison at Oxford and contributed to the end of his political career. He died in Brighton, never having lived at Howbery Park. Other owners of Howbery Park were Henry Bertie Williams-Wynn (who purchased the house in 1867), Harvey du Cros (in 1902) and George Denison Faber, 1st Baron Wittenham. The estate passed into the ownership of the government in the 1930s and was used during the Second World War to house US, Polish and Canadian servicemen and then refugees from Central Europe. After the war, it was selected as the location for the new Hydraulics Research Station (HRS), established under the directorship of Sir Claude Inglis. HRS was privatised in 1982 from the Department of the Environment (DoE) and the HR Wallingford Group was created. The new company was limited by guarantee, had no shareholders and was given the remit to invest in hydraulic research. The assets transferred with Howbery Park in 1982 included the grant-funded-state-of-the-art- Fountain Building, and a new mainframe computer. The Manor House and Stable Block are Listed Buildings Grade II (1985). In addition to HR Wallingford who occupy a new building, Kestrel House, several other organisations are now based in Howbery Park, including the Environment Agency. There are several stories of strange occurrences concerning Howbery Park. The most common one is the ghost of the Lady in Grey. Several drivers on Benson Lane, adjacent to Howbery Park, claim to have been forced to swerve to avoid a lady dressed in grey who was walking in the road. A lady in grey was seen to walk in the grounds of the French Gardens, now the site of the South Oxfordshire District Council. Local stories are that this is the ghost of Lady Wittenham, wife of George Denison Faber, 1st Baron Wittenham. In September 2007 key scenes for the feature-film adaptation of Philip Pullman's The Butterfly Tattoo (film) were shot on site. References External links HR Wallingford Howbery Park Estates
Hoxne manor

Hoxne Manor is an estate in Hoxne, Suffolk, England. It was originally a manor house belonging to East Anglian bishops. However, following the dissolution of the monasteries, the land was handed over to favourites at the court of Henry VIII. Middle ages Hoxne manor was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as a seat of the East Anglian bishops. From around that date these were the bishops of Norwich, but previously the bishops of Thetford. The Domesday name of Hoxne hundred, annexed to the manor, was "Bishop's Hundred". At this point Herbert Losinga took Hoxne as a key location from which to compete with the Abbot of St Edmunds; he rededicated the church at Hoxne to honour King Edmund the Martyr, and kept control of the Hoxne manor house, though himself locating elsewhere. Bishops Thomas Brunce and Walter Lyhert died there during the 15th century. It was a residential episcopal manor, and probably the site of a bishop's palace. Tudor and Stuart periods The manor house still belonged to the Bishop of Norwich, under the name Hoxun Court, during the reign of Henry VIII of England; it passed to the king in 1535. The manor house site was then occupied by Hoxne Hall and first owned by Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk. Then in 1543 it was granted to Sir Robert Southwell, Master of the Rolls. Hoxne Hall The Suffolk antiquary Augustine Page claimed that Robert Style, a younger brother of Sir Humphrey Style, 1st Baronet, built Hoxne Hall in 1645. Crysogena Prescott had married Style following the death of Sir John Prescott in 1640. It was the seat of the Maynard family, before passing to the Kerrisons, as the seat of the Kerrison Baronets. Oakley Park Under the later name Oakley Park it lasted until the 20th century, but was demolished in the period 1923. St Edmund's Memorial, Hoxne St Edmund's Memorial marks the place in the grounds of Hoxne manor where an ancient oak stood until 1848. The original monument was erected by either the first or second Kerrison baronet, both called Edward). The current monument was erected by Agnes Burrell Bateman-Hanbury after the first was damaged by a storm in 1905. She was the daughter of the first baronet and sister of the second who had died childless in 1886. References
Hoxton Hall

Hoxton Hall is a performance arts theatre and community centre in the Hoxton area of Shoreditch, at 130 Hoxton Street, in the London Borough of Hackney. A grade II* listed building, the theatre was first built as a music hall in 1863, as MacDonald's Music Hall. It is an unrestored example of the saloon style. In the theatre, an iron-railed, two tier galleried auditorium rises on three sides, supported on cast iron columns above a small, high, multi-tiered stage. It survives largely in its original form, as for many years it was used as a Quaker meeting house. The music hall lost its performance licence in 1871 due to complaints by the police; it was sold, and the new owners applied for a licence in 1876, but were again rejected. William Isaac Palmer (1824–1893) purchased it on behalf of the Blue Ribbon Gospel Temperance Mission in 1879. Palmer was an heir to the Huntley and Palmer biscuit family and spent much of his fortune on charity. On Palmer's death, the hall passed to the Bedford Institute, a Quaker organisation dedicated to running adult schools and alleviating the effects of poverty. Today, the hall is used as a community centre and performance space. Notable recent performances On invitation from Lisa Goldman, artistic director of the theatre company The Red Room, Leo Asemota created video installations and a portfolio of photographic portraits of Hoxton residents for the site-specific production Hoxton Story which opened at Hoxton Hall, to performances on 10 September 2005 Robert Newman filmed a television programme entitled A History of Oil for More4 at Hoxton Hall. The show is a mixture of stand-up comedy and an introductory lecture on geopolitics and peak oil. Based on his touring show, Apocalypso Now, Newman argues that twentieth-century Western foreign policy, including World War I, should be seen as a continuous struggle by the West to control Middle Eastern oil. Welsh singer Duffy performed an intimate gig in July 2026, with only 50 fans in attendance, alongside friends and family.

Huguenot Burial Site

The Huguenot Burial Site (also known as Mount Nod Cemetery) is a former burial ground for Huguenots in Wandsworth, London. It was in use from 1687 to 1854. The burial site is located between East Hill and Huguenot Place in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It is located next to St Mary Magdalen Roman Catholic Church. History The walled burial ground, which covers just under half an acre, lies at the top of East Hill and was opened in 1687 as a burial ground for Huguenot refugees – people who fled religious persecution in France after embracing the Protestant faith. Many of these refugees from across the English Channel settled in Wandsworth, attracted by the cloth and textile mills which lined the banks of the River Wandle – bringing their skills as hat and dressmakers, helping to establish 17th and 18th century Wandsworth as a famed centre of fashion and clothes making. Church services in French were performed at the old Presbyterian Chapel in Wandsworth for over a century after the first Huguenots arrived. Victorian social commentator James Thorne, writing in 1876, stated that “gradually the French element became absorbed in the surrounding population, but Wandsworth was long famous for hat making.” The burial ground closed in 1854 and today is mainly grass with trees and shrubs around the perimeter. It has been given local historic park and garden status as part of the council's recently held consultation on local listing. There are a few monuments left. On the north side of the cemetery is a pedimented memorial with an explanation of the burial site, although it has become practically illegible. In 1911 a memorial was erected to the memory of the Wandsworth Huguenots. The text on this memorial reads: Here rest many Huguenots who on the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 left their native land for conscience' sake and found in Wandsworth freedom to worship God after their own manner. They established important industries and added to the credit and prosperity of the town of their adoption. On the plinth are inscribed the following names of Huguenots buried either in Mount Nod itself or in the older graveyard surrounding the parish church. BARBEAU, BOUDOIN, BERNARD, BORDES, CHAMBERLEN, CHATTING, COMARQUE, CRAUANT, DAMAREE, DARVALL, DE LA PORTE, DE LA ROQUE, DEMFRENE, DORMAY, DU MOULIN, FENOUILHET, FONTANIEU DE LA VABRE, FOURDRINTER, GROLLEAU, GROSE, HEBERT, HOLLAND, LAFITTE, MAHIEU, MOREAU, PAUMIER, PAYAN, TORIN, VIET, VIGNON The council was awarded title deeds in 2019 and is now able to carry out work to improve and conserve this historic green space. The refurbishment project will take around six months to complete.

Hulme Barracks

Hulme Barracks is a former military installation in Hulme, Manchester, England. History The barracks were built in the Georgian-style and completed in 1804. They became home to the 15th The King's Hussars, who charged protesters in Manchester in what became known as the Peterloo Massacre in 1819. The barracks were used to house infantry battalions from 1895 until their sale to Manchester Corporation in 1914. The building that remains today is the former officers' mess, officers' quarters and quartermaster's house, the other structures on the site having been demolished. Now converted into flats, Hulme Barracks was designated a Grade II listed building on 16 November 1978. See also Listed buildings in Manchester-M15 References
Hulme Grammar School

Hulme Grammar School (formerly Oldham Hulme Grammar School) is a private all-through school in Oldham, Greater Manchester, England. Principals in recent years include Dr Paul Neeson (2008-2014), Craig Mairs (2014-2022), and Kirsten Pankhurst (2023–present). The school was rebranded to Hulme Grammar School in 2023, with a new logo and uniform and website. History Oldham Hulme Grammar School was founded in 1611 by several charitable individuals including Laurence Chadeton, but closed in 1866 and was refounded, under the Endowed Schools Act 1869 (hence the claim to be a continuation of this earlier school is debated). The doorway of the original Oldham Hulme Grammar School building with its date stone and a window were incorporated into the current school building in the 1920s. When the school was refounded in 1887 it obtained some money from a charitable trust created in 1691 by a bequest from William Hulme, after whom the new school was named. The main buildings, incorporating were erected in 1895 by the Hulme Trust. The first headmaster of the new era was Samuel Ogden Andrew, who later achieved acclaim as a translator of Homer.

ВЕС Гамбер-Гейтвей

ВЕС Гамбер-Гейтвей (англ. Humber Gateway) — британська офшорна вітрова електростанція в Північному морі біля узбережжя Англії. Місце для розміщення ВЕС обрали на відстані 8 км від Холдернесс (узбережжя Йоркширу). З червня 2011-го по лютий 2012-го геотехнічні дослідження тут провадило самопідіймальне судно Vagant. За цим розпочались будівельні роботи на суші, а в 2013-му перейшли до спорудження фундаментів майбутніх вітроагрегатів. Спеціалізоване судно MPI Discovery встановило третину паль, після чого передало майданчик MPI Resolution, а саме відплило на ВЕС Амрумбанк-Вест, що споруджувалась для того ж замовника у німецькому секторі моря. Проте технічні проблеми вимусили відіслати MPI Resolution на ремонт і повернути попереднє судно, котре в підсумку й завершило фундаментні роботи. Після чого MPI Resolution змонтувало власне вітрові агрегати, завершивши цей процес на початку 2015 року. Ще одне спеціалізоване самопідіймальне судно MPI Adventure виконало роботи зі спорудження офшорної трансформаторної підстанції, встановивши як опорну основу («джекет»), так і надбудову з обладнанням («топсайд»). На час налагоджувальних робіт на підстанції, котрі припали на 2015 рік, для проживання персоналу залучили самопідіймальне судно Seajacks Leviathan. Прокладання двох головних експортних кабелів довжиною по 14 км, розрахованих на роботу під напругою 132 кВ, провела кабелеукладальна баржа Stemat Spirit. При цьому на мілководній прибережній ділянці риття траншеї виконав ковшовий земснаряд Manu Pekka. Станція, введена в експлуатацію двома чергами у 2015 році, займає площу 24,8 км2. Тут у районі з середніми глибинами моря 15 метрів на баштах висотою 80 метрів змонтували 73 вітрові турбіни данської компанії Vestas типу V112-3.0 одиничною потужністю 3 МВт та діаметром ротора 112 метрів. Проект, реалізований енергетичним концерном E.ON, коштував приблизно 700 млн фунтів стерлінгів. Примітки

Huntcliff School, Saltburn-by-the-Sea

Huntcliff School is a co-educational secondary school located in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, a town in the north-east of England. At the Ofsted inspection of 2019, the school had a register of 540 pupils. The first school on the site, opened in 1960, was called the County Modern School. In 2007 work began on a new secondary school on the same site, to replace the current buildings, and re-opened in September 2008. This work resulted in the demolition of two school buildings which had been constructed only a few years earlier, as they could not be incorporated into the new campus. In a second phase of construction, a replacement for Saltburn Primary School was planned. The scheme had a total budget of £15 million. Huntcliff Secondary School is now based on Saltburn Learning Campus. In September 2009, Saltburn Primary School (whose previous buildings were based in two separate locations in the town) joined Huntcliff School within a separate wing of Saltburn Learning Campus - this was officially opened by author Gervase Phinn. Saltburn Children's Centre is also based on the campus grounds. Huntcliff School currently has 536 students on roll, consisting of those from Saltburn and its surrounding areas. It offers a variety of curriculum subjects, including the core subjects of English, Maths and Science, as well as History, Geography, Art & Design, Technology, ICT, Performing Arts, Modern Foreign Languages, PE, Sport Science, Life Skills, Photography and Media Studies. Additional subjects were previously available to students, such as AS Level Politics and Further Maths. Huntcliff School has a secure partnership with the No. 17 Middle School in Bao Ding, China, which has been established for at least 3 years. In 2010, Huntcliff students and staff visited their partner school for a 10-day-long visit. Every year since the partnership, students and staff from the partner school have visited Huntcliff School and met people from the local community. Previously a foundation school administered by Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, in January 2021 Huntcliff School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Vision Academy Learning Trust. References External links Huntcliff School official website
Icknield Street School

Icknield Street School (grid reference SP057882), near the Hockley Flyover, north of the Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham, England, is a good example of a Birmingham board school. It is owned by Birmingham City Council. Designed in 1883 by J.H. Chamberlain of Martin & Chamberlain, the main architects for the Birmingham School Board, it has been St Chad's Roman Catholic Annexe and is now an Ashram Centre. Standard VII classes for girls began in 1885. However, these classes closed in 1898 at the opening of the George Dixon Higher Grade Board School. In 1886, it was expanded and again so in 1894. It converted into a modern secondary school in 1945 and by 1960, it had 950 pupils. The Chamberlain schools were designed for hygiene, light, fresh air and beauty. Typically in red brick and terracotta, gabled, with steep roofs, free planning and towered to provide ventilation. The tower was typically placed over the staircase to draw air through the school. There were terracotta plaques, glazed tiles, ornamental ironwork, tall windows, and stained glass. The arched roof-supporting ironwork of this school was visible when the roof was missing following a fire. The roof has since been repaired. It is a Grade II* listed building. The headmaster's house (303 Icknield Street), on the site, is separately Grade II* listed. Both are on the English Heritage Heritage at Risk Register, and in December 2021, the pair were included on the Victorian Society's annual "Top Ten Endangered Buildings" list.

Immanuel Church, Feniscowles

Immanuel Church is in the village of Feniscowles, near Blackburn, Lancashire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Blackburn with Darwen, the archdeaconry of Blackburn, and the diocese of Blackburn. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History The church was built in 1835–36. Its architect is uncertain. In the Buildings of England series Hartwell and Pevsner credit the design to J. W. Whittaker, the Vicar of Blackburn. In the National Heritage List for England it is credited to Whittaker's cousin, the Lancaster architect Edmund Sharpe. Whittaker certainly made the first design for the church, but whether this was replaced or amended by Sharpe is uncertain. The church cost £1,000 (equivalent to £100,000 in 2025). The foundation stone was laid on 5 February 1835 by William Feilden, who had given the land for the church, and paid £100 towards its construction. The church was consecrated on 10 October 1836. It was restored in 1931–32 by Austin and Paley, the successors in Sharpe's practice. During the restoration the original box pews were removed, a pulpit and chancel screen were added, the lower part of the walls were panelled, and the church was re-floored. Architecture Exterior Immanuel Church is constructed in gritstone with a slate roof. Its plan consists of a nave and chancel in one cell, a southwest porch, and a west tower with a spire. The tower is short, in two stages, and is embraced by the nave. It has diagonal buttresses, a two-light west window, and rectangular louvred bell openings. The spire is set back and contains lucarnes. There were originally eight pinnacles, but these were removed because of erosion. The windows on the sides of the church are large and straight-headed, with Perpendicular tracery. The east window contains Decorated tracery. Interior Inside the church is a west gallery carried on slim iron columns. The stained glass in the east window is dated 1861 and is possibly by Hardman & Co. On the north side of the church are windows dating from the early 20th century by Heaton, Butler and Bayne, and on the south side, dated 1907, are windows by Curtis, Ward and Hughes. The two-manual organ in the west gallery was built by Jardine and Company in 1949, when some of the pipes from the earlier organ built in 1899 by Ernest Wadsworth were reused. The church bell is an eighteenth-century Javanese bell with a dated Javanese inscription originally from Gresik in East Java and donated by a member of the Feilden family who served in Egypt, India and Java during the Napoleonic Wars.
