Bell House, Dulwich

Bell House is a large Georgian house on College Road in Dulwich, South East London. It is Grade II* listed on the National Heritage List for England. It was built in 1767 for Thomas Wright, who was Sheriff of the City of London in 1779 and Lord Mayor of London in 1785. Thomas Wright made his fortune as a stationer and from publishing almanacs. The house gets its name from the striking bell tower. Whenever a fire broke out in the village, the bells of Bell House and the Dulwich College chapel were rung to gather help in pumping up water for the village fire engine. Thomas Wright lived at Bell House until his death on 7 April 1798. In 1833, the house was extended to provide servants' quarters. Further extensions were made in the 1870s and Sir Edwin Lutyens was engaged to carry out certain alterations in 1918. Dulwich College took over the lease of Bell House in 1926 and it became the official residence of the Master of the College in 1927. During the Second World War the Master moved out of Bell House to a smaller house and in 1947 the building became a junior boarding house. In 1993 it was returned to private ownership, as the college recognised the reduced need for a second junior boarding house. The house was bought in the summer of 2016 by an educational charity – Bell House Dulwich. References
Six Pillars House

Six Pillars is a Grade II* listed building in Sydenham in the London Borough of Southwark. The house was built in the 1930s in the modernist style. History Six Pillars is in Sydenham in the London Borough of Southwark, opposite Dulwich Wood. It is the only modernist house in its street as the other houses are more ordinary townhouses or Victorian villas. Six Pillars was built by architect Valentine Harding, who was working for Tecton Group. The company also built Highpoint I and the penguin enclosure at London Zoo, both of which are listed Grade I. It is one of four houses built by Harding, who died at the Battle of Dunkirk in 1940. It was built in the style of Villa Savoye, built by Le Corbusier, and contains "glascrete" (concrete containing glass) to maximise the amount of sunlight in the house. The house was built between 1932 and 1934 for John Leakey, headmaster of Dulwich College Preparatory School, and his wife. It was built of London stock brick in a minimalist style so that it did not stand out from the Victorian era houses. The house was also set back from the road. The house, when built, contained four bathrooms, two bedrooms, three reception rooms, a study, and two maid's quarters. The ground floor of the house is divided by six cylindrical pillars, which gives the house its name. The entrance hall spans two floors and contains a sculpted staircase. The rear of the house contains strip windows, built in the same style as Highpoint I, and there is a first-floor glass balcony. The house covers an area of 3,000 square feet (280 m2). In 1981, Six Pillars became a Grade II* listed building. In 1989, it was put on the market for £365,000. The house featured in the 1992 book Lubetkin & Tecton: An Architectural Study. In 1998, it was bought by Roger Trapp, who commissioned John Winter to undertake a restoration. Six Pillars House was put up for sale in 2012 with a guide price of £1,675,000.

Sancreed Parish Church

Sancreed Parish Church (Grade II Listed) is the parish church of Sancreed, Cornwall, England, UK. It is an Anglican church in the Diocese of Truro. Sancreed Parish Church only uses the traditional Book of Common Prayer for all services, whereas churches now generally use the more modern Common Worship order of service. Sancreed is steeped in tradition in preserving the order of service, as held in the church for hundreds of years. There is a service every Sunday at 9.30am. Sancreed Parish Church is a corporate member of the Prayer Book Society (England). Sancreed Parish church lies at the heart of the village and is dedicated to St Sancredus. The church is built of granite, parts of which date back to the 13th and 14th centuries; the church was originally built in a cruciform shape. The current church has an unbuttressed west tower of two stages, a north transept and a 15th-century south aisle of five bays. Features of interest include the fine font, which is of the St Ives type dating from the 14th century, decorated with carved angels holding heraldic shields, and the wooden 15th century rood screen, which has curious carvings at the base to which traces of the original paint still clings in places. Much of the church was restored in 1881 by the architect J D Sedding and the contractor, Mr Bone of Liskeard. A report in The Cornishman newspaper stated, There was nothing striking about the old Church except its hoary and depressing appearance. It contained a few pieces of good carved work, which doubtless will be utilized in the restoration, but very few other specimens of art. The churchyard and church have, within the late 19th and first part of the 20th-century, made a strong appeal to painters of the Newlyn School of Art, some of whom worshipped regularly at the church and are buried in the churchyard (including Stanhope Forbes RA). Sancreed Churchyard is also known for its five ‘Celtic’ crosses, which are medieval granite wayside crosses. The two tall crosses would have been made as churchyard crosses, while the other three were originally wayside crosses from the 12th or 13th century, later brought to the churchyard from other parts of Sancreed Parish. The five crosses are: a 10th century churchyard cross, a 13th century churchyard cross (set on a possible 7th century base), The cross from Trannack, The Sellan Cross, and The Anjarden Cross. The 13th century churchyard cross, a large cross stands immediately beside the path that angles from the porch to the southeast gate to the churchyard, strikes cross about 9 feet high, though some of that length is buried in the ground. The shaft and head are carved on all sides, and the quality of the carving is outstanding; it is reckoned to be one of the finest incised Celtic crosses in Cornwall. Work on replacing the church roof began in 2017 following a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund of £227,100 and more than £11,000 from charities. References
Church of St Luke, Sheen, Staffordshire

The Church of St Luke, Sheen, Staffordshire is a Grade II* listed Anglican church. Its origins are of the 14th century, but it was largely rebuilt in the mid-19th century, firstly by C. W. Burleigh, and then by William Butterfield. The church, and its associated parsonage, were the last buildings recorded by Nikolaus Pevsner in his Buildings of England series, when he concluded the series in 1974 with his Staffordshire volume, finishing a project begun in 1945. History The church was founded in the 14th century. Reconstruction began in 1850, under the supervision of a local architect, C. W. Burleigh of Leeds. Burleigh was soon replaced by William Butterfield, due to the intervention of the patron of the living, A. J. B. Beresford Hope. Beresford Hope was interested in reorganising the parish in line with the Tractarian movement; in 1851 he presented his friend Benjamin Webb to the perpetual curacy of Sheen. Webb had been reluctant to accept the living because of the remoteness of the area, and resigned in 1862; he was replaced by T. E. Heygate, the assistant curate since 1851. Pevsner's visit On the morning of Tuesday 6 October 1970, Pevsner arrived at the church in the company of the journalist Geoffrey Moorhouse. Pevsner had begun work on the Buildings of England series in 1945, with the first volume, Cornwall, being published in 1951. By the time he arrived in Sheen, to complete the work with the volume covering Staffordshire, 45 volumes had been written. Moorhouse recorded the visit to Sheen in an article in The Observer, published on 10 October 1970, and entitled "Pevsner's Last Building". Pevsner recorded his own impressions of Butterfield's parsonage, and of Victorian architecture more generally, in the conclusion of his entry for Sheen. (See box). The church remains an active parish church in the Diocese of Lichfield. Architecture and description The church is of coursed stone, with a tower, nave, chancel, vestry and porch. The tower has a pyramidal roof. The style of the whole is Pointed Gothic. The church is a Grade II* listed building. The parsonage is also Grade II* listed, and Pevsner describes it as "personal and forceful". At the time of their visit, Moorhouse noted that the parsonage was "abandoned and mostly boarded up". It has since been restored. See also Grade II* listed buildings in Staffordshire Moorlands Listed buildings in Sheen, Staffordshire Notes References Bradley, Simon; Cherry, Bridget (2001).

St Bartholomew's Church, Longnor

The Church of St Bartholomew is a Grade II* listed Anglican church in the village of Longnor in north-east Staffordshire. It was built in the late 18th century. History There was probably a church in Longnor in the 12th century, since the font in the present church is of that period; the earliest mention of a church here was in 1448. It is thought it stood in what is now the churchyard, which was formerly a large space used for markets and fairs. The present church was built about 1781; the earlier building was demolished and the new church was built on a site to the north. It is of coursed ashlar; it has a rectangular nave, with no separate chancel, with five rounded-headed windows on each side; there is a west tower. In 1812 the walls were raised to allow a south gallery (which was later removed) and a west gallery; an upper arcade of windows, of similar shape to those below, was added. There is an external staircase leading to the west gallery. In 1852 an organ was installed in the south gallery, and later was placed on the south side of the chancel. In 1948–49 a false ceiling was installed, so the upper windows can be seen only from the outside. The font, the only survival from an early church, was in the churchyard in 1830, when the archdeacon ordered that it be put inside the church. It is in the west end of the nave, under the gallery. It is chalice-shaped, carved from a single block of gritstone; there is incised decoration of a face and shields. The gates at the western end of the churchyard, and two monuments within it, are separately listed at Grade II. See also Listed buildings in Longnor, Staffordshire References
Nelson House, London

Nelson House, also known as Nelson Dock House, is a Grade II* listed building on Rotherhithe Street in the London Borough of Southwark. The house was built in the 1740s in the Georgian style and was historically home to shipbuilders including John Randall. The house is named after Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson. History Nelson House is located at 265 Rotherhithe Street, in the London Borough of Southwark. Rotherhithe Street is London's longest street, at a length of around 1.5 miles (2.4 km). Nelson House was built in the 1740s on the site of a former shipyard, in the Georgian style. The three-storey building is composed of stone brick, and contains Doric columns, and Venetian windows. The building's roof contains an octagonal glazed cupola. Historically, the house was used by shipbuilders, and is the only remaining shipbuilders' house in Rotherhithe. In the late 18th and early 19th century, Nelson House was owned by shipbuilder John Randall. He is believed to have committed suicide by jumping out of one of Nelson House's windows in 1803. In the 19th century after the Battle of Trafalgar, the house was named Nelson House in honour of Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson. Nelson House is situated next to Nelson Dock. The front of the building unusually faces away from Nelson Dock, possibly in order that the building could lead to the shipyard. When built, the front of the building faced towards fields, although nowadays the house faces Rotherhithe Street. Nowadays, Nelson House is used as offices, and is not accessible to the public. The house became a Grade II* listed building in 1949, and the wrought iron railings for the stone steps to enter the house are also listed. References External links Historic England
St James's Church, Bermondsey

St James's Church, Bermondsey, is a Church of England parish church in Bermondsey, south London. Designed by James Savage, it was one of the churches built as a result of the Church Building Acts. It was completed and consecrated in 1829 and given a separate parish (split off from the ancient parish of St Mary Magdalene's, Bermondsey) in 1840. In 1949 it was designated a Grade II* listed building. The spire was inspired by Sir Christopher Wren’s St. Stephen Walbrook, and required a separate Act of Parliament in 1831 to borrow extra funds. The churchyard was closed to burials in 1855, and was then used for communal drying. It was converted to gardens by the Metropolitan Public Gardens Association, and opened to the public in 1886. An obelisk memorial and some chest-tombs were retained. See also Grade I and II* listed buildings in the London Borough of Southwark References Sources Philips, G.W. (1841).
