Newnham Grange

Newnham Grange () is a Grade II listed house on Silver Street, Cambridge, next to the River Cam and The Backs. Since 1962 it has been part of Darwin College, Cambridge. History and residents The building was built in 1793 for the family of Patrick Beales, a local corn and coal merchant and twice Mayor of Cambridge. After the death of Beales's daughters, the house was bought by George Darwin and his wife Maud Darwin in 1885 and extensively remodelled. The Darwins had five children: Gwendoline Mary Darwin, later Gwen Raverat (1885–1957), artist. Charles Galton Darwin (1887–1962), physicist. Margaret Elizabeth Darwin (1890–1974), married Sir Geoffrey Keynes. William Robert Darwin (1894–1970) Leonard Darwin (1899–1899) Sir George died in 1912, and after the death of his wife, the house subsequently passed to Sir Charles Galton Darwin and his wife Katharine Pember Darwin. They had the following children: Cecily Darwin (born 1926) became an X-ray crystallographer and in 1951 married John Littleton of Philadelphia. George Pember Darwin (1928–2001) worked developing computers, and then (1964) married Angela Huxley, daughter of David Bruce Huxley. She was also a granddaughter of the writer Leonard Huxley and a great-granddaughter of Thomas Huxley, "Darwin's Bulldog". Henry Galton Darwin (1929–1992) was with the British Foreign Office, and married Jane Christie. Francis William Darwin (1932–1999) was a zoologist who lectured at King's College in the University of London, and married in 1976. Edward Leonard Darwin (born 1934) became a civil engineer. Lady Maud Darwin died at the house in 1947. After Sir Charles Darwin's death in 1962, the house was donated by the family for the foundation of Darwin College in 1964. The house is extensively described and illustrated in Gwen Raverat's childhood memoir Period Piece: A Cambridge Childhood, which has a chapter describing the house and flooding from the River Cam. Lady Margaret Keynes also published a book about the house, House by the River: Newnham Grange to Darwin College In 2003 a Blue Plaque commemorating Gwen Raverat and Period Piece was unveiled at Newnham Grange by Gwen's daughter Sophie Gurney, with Sophie's son William Pryor and Erasmus Darwin Barlow and his wife Biddy in attendance.

Newton Hall, Newton on the Moor

Newton Hall is an 18th-century country house at Newton on the Moor, near Alnwick, Northumberland, England. It is a Grade II listed building. History The house was built for Samuel Cook on the site of an earlier house in 1772, possibly by Newcastle architect William Newton. His grandson Samuel Edward Cook inherited the estate and also the Hauxley estate of his maternal grandmother Frances Widdrington. In 1840 he changed his name to Widdrington. He served as High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1854. His nephew and heir Shalcross Fitzherbert Jacson (who changed his name to Widdrington in 1856) significantly remodelled and enlarged the house in 1864. He was High Sheriff in 1874. The Widdrington estates were broken up in the 20th century. Hauxley was sold in 1956 and Newton by auction in 1957. The house contents were auctioned by Christie's in London on 20 January 2010. The late 18th century stable block (also a Grade II listed building) bears a gateway clock made in 1763 for Princess Amelia a daughter of George II of Great Britain.

Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm

Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm ist ein Zoo nordwestlich des Ortskerns von Wraxall, Somerset. Er ist etwa 40 Hektar groß. Er wurde 1999 von Anthony und Christina Bush gegründet. Zum pädagogischen Konzept des Zoos gehört die Verbreitung des Kreationismus. Geschichte Das Ehepaar Bush betrieb von 1960 bis 1995 eine Milchviehhaltung auf der gepachteten Moat House Farm. 1995 kauften sie die Farm von Lord Wraxall of Tyntesfield. Sie renovierten das Moat-House-Farm-Gebäude aus dem 17. Jahrhundert, das weder Wasser- noch Stromanschluss hatte. Auf dem Farmgelände betrieben sie nun Ackerbau und eine kleine Schafzucht. 1998 begann der Umbau des Geländes zum Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm. 1999 erfolgte die Eröffnung, überwiegend mit Nutztierarten. Nur wenige Wildtiere aus anderen Ländern wurden gezeigt. Von 2000 bis 2004 wurden die Ark Arena und die Bereiche für Affen und Reptilien gebaut. 2005 kamen zwei Breitmaulnashörner in den Zoo. Ab 2006 zeigte man Shows mit Tieren, darunter die Greifvogelschau. Giraffen, Tapire und Capybaras kamen 2006 in den Zoo. 2007 kam das Gehege für Siamangs dazu. Ab 2009 wurden Königstiger gehalten. 2012 wurde Elephant Eden, laut Eigenangabe des Zoos das größte Elefanten-Gehege Europas, eröffnet. 2013 erschien Anthony Bushs Autobiographie From Cows to Tigers: Building Noah’s Ark. Zoobereiche Der Zoo hat die Themenbereiche Afrika, Asien, Südamerika, Australien, Primaten und Reptilien. Im Primatenbereich werden die fünf Affenarten Siamang, Schwarzweißer Vari, Katta, Lisztaffe und Weißbüschelaffe gezeigt. Die drei Arten Siamang, Katta und Lisztaffe stehen auf Roten Liste der IUCN als stark gefährdet oder vom Aussterben bedroht. Seit der Eröffnung werden Affen nachgezüchtet. Die Siamangs wurden 2007 im Rahmen des Europäischen Erhaltungszuchtprogramms in den Zoo gebracht. Es werden auch verschiedene Haustierrassen gehalten. Im Zoo werden auch Greifvögel und Eulen wie der Wüstenbussard, Uhu, Schleiereule und Fleckenuhu gezeigt. Mit Greifvögeln und Eulen gibt es eine tägliche Greifvogelschau. Es gibt einen 3,2 km langen Irrgarten-Weg. Kritik Der im Zoo vertretene Kreationismus wurde immer wieder kritisiert. 2009 schloss die British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums den Zoo als Mitglied aus, weil ein Tiger auch an einen Zirkus, den Great British Circus, verliehen wurde. Der Zoo wird aber inzwischen wieder als Mitglied geführt. Weblinks Homepage des Zoos Einzelnachweise
Norrington Manor

Norrington Manor is a medieval manor house at Alvediston, about 11 miles (18 km) west-southwest of Salisbury, in the southern English county of Wiltshire. It is a Grade I listed building. Description Pevsner describes the house as "a lucky survival". Some features house date from the late 14th century, others from the 15th, 16th, 17th and 19th centuries. The principal walls are of dressed limestone under a tiled roof with ashlar chimneys. There is a 14th-century three-bay hall (with a later roof) and a cross passage with flanking 17th-century cross wings, and a 16th-century range at the front. A 15th-century porch to the right of the main front has a pointed archway. There is a 14th-century undercroft and a 17th-century solar at the west end of the hall. Inside the hall is a Tudor-arched stone chimneypiece. In the east wing is a 17th-century newel staircase with turned balusters. The house was designated as Grade I listed in 1966. Owners The present house has its origins in a manor house probably built by John Gawen, a prominent local politician and magistrate, who acquired the property in 1377. In 1658 the manor was acquired for his seat by Sir Wadham Wyndham (1609–1668), a judge of the King's Bench, 9th son of Sir John Wyndham (1558–1645) of Orchard Wyndham, Somerset. The Wyndham family made alterations to the house in the 17th century. Notes

Norris Green Park

Norris Green Park in Norris Green, Liverpool, England is a city park situated between Broad Lane and Lorenzo Drive. The park contains the ruin of Norris Green, the original name of the grand mansion built by the Norris family in the fields and pastureland near West Derby. The park was created from the gardens and grounds of the mansion. Norris Green gave its name to the vast, council estate built to ease the housing crisis of the 1920s on land given to the city by Lord Derby of Knowsley Hall. He donated the land on the provision that no public houses were to be built within the estate. The park was transferred to council ownership in 1933 to be used as a public space. In 2018 a group of volunteers formed Friends of Norris Green Park to improve the park for the benefit of local people and residents of the city. Norris Green mansion The ruins of Norris Green are all that remains of the mansion built in 1830 to replace the original mansion built in the 17th century by the Norris family. The building itself was demolished in 1931 leaving just one wall of sandstone blocks as the only remaining example of the classical architecture. Above the arch is a crest with the Latin inscription ALTE VOLO ("I fly high"). The standing remains, described as a stable block, are of Grade II listed building status. References
