National Motor Museum

Il National Motor Museum, chiamato in precedenza Montagu Motor Museum, è un museo con sede a Beaulieu nella New Forest nella contea inglese dell'Hampshire, in Inghilterra. Descrizione Il museo è stato fondato nel 1952 da Edward Douglas-Scott-Montagu, terzo barone Montagu di Beaulieu, in omaggio a suo padre che fu uno dei grandi pionieri dell'automobilismo nel Regno Unito, essendo la prima persona a guidare un'automobile nel cortile del Palazzo di Westminster e dopo aver introdotto il re Edoardo VII all'automobilismo durante gli anni 1890. Inizialmente, il museo consisteva di sole cinque auto esposta nella sala d'ingresso della casa ancestrale di Lord Montagu; ma la collezione aumentò di numero e fu trasferita in capannoni di legno nel parco della casa. Nel 1959 il museo era stato visitato da 296 909 persone. Nel 1964 le presenze annuale superò il milione e mezzo e fu presa la decisione di creare un edificio museale apposito da costruire nel parco della tenuta Beaulieu. Un comitato di designer presieduto dall'architetto Sir Hugh Casson fu creato per guidare il progetto, e l'architetto Leonard Manasseh firmò il contratto per la progettazione dell'edificio, che era progettato principalmente da Ian Baker. Nel 1972 la collezione superò i 300 pezzi. In una cerimonia eseguita dal duca di Kent, il nuovo edificio museale costruito nel parco che circonda la Palace House fu aperto il 4 luglio 1972: il nome fu cambiato in "National Motor Museum". Il museo è gestito dalla National Motor Museum Trust Ltd, un'organizzazione benefica. Una caratteristica insolita dell'edificio museale sta nel fatto che viene attraverso al suo interno dal National Motor Museum Monorail. Ciò si inspira alla ferrovia che attraversava il padiglione degli Stati Uniti al Expo 67 di Montreal. Oltre a circa 250 veicoli prodotti dalla fine del XIX secolo, il museo ha una collezione di libri automobilistici, riviste, fotografie, film ed è affiliato alla British Motorcycle Charitable Trust. Dal 2012 il museo presenta una sezione dedicata ai veicoli apparsi nel film di James Bond. È inoltre presente anche una sezione della collezione chiamata "World of Top Gear", che presenta alcune vetture create dagli ex presentatori di Top Gear, quali Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond e James May.

Hazelbury Manor

Hazelbury Manor is a Grade I listed manor house in the hamlet of Hazelbury, in the parish of Box, Wiltshire, England. Parts of the house date from the 15th century. House The house has two storeys, with attics, and is built around four sides of a courtyard. The oldest part is the great hall, c. 1500, which may incorporate an earlier hall; the four sides were completed in stages during the 16th century. In 1920–25 the west and north sides were rebuilt, and additions made which include a two-storey south porch and a service range which links the house to a formerly detached 17th-century dower house. The manor was purchased by the Speke family in the early 17th century and passed to the Northey family in the early 18th century. In the early 20th century, George Jardine Kidston bought it and restored it with the help of the architect Harold Brakspear. They enlarged the house considerably, completing the rear courtyard in an architecturally sensitive fashion with reference to excavated foundations. Kidston wrote a book on its history, published in 1936. Julian Orbach calls the house "another early C20 re-creation of the manorial dream", like those nearby at Great Chalfield and Westwood. The house was recorded as Grade I listed in 1960. From 1943 to 1971 the buildings were used by a girls' school, then in 1973 returned to private ownership. The house is approached down a straight tree-lined drive, some 600m in length, and is not open to the public. A separate building to the south-east, known as the Granary, was built as a granary and cart-shed in the 17th century. It was converted into a garage, cottages and workshop by Brakspear in 1922–25, and is now a private house. The coach house and stable block are also from the 17th century. Gardens The house is set in 186 acres (0.75 km2) of land, 8 acres of which are landscaped gardens. The gardens are Edwardian-style and were laid out by George Kidston in the 1920s. They contain topiary and colourful herbaceous borders. Later (1980s) additions include a circle of menhirs and a laburnum walk. In 1990, the gardens were recorded as Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. Between 1993 and 2010, the gardens were an annual summer venue for plays by Shakespeare Live, a regional theatre company which raises money for charity. Sale In May 2023, the manor was offered for sale with a guide price of £7,500,000. References Further reading George Jardine Kidston (1936). A History of the Manor of Hazelbury.

Hazlegrove House

Hazlegrove House is a 17th-century Grade II listed building located in the parish of Queen Camel near Sparkford, Somerset, England. It was largely rebuilt by Carew Mildmay in 1730. After being used as a hospital facility during World War II, the house became the home of Hazlegrove Preparatory School in 1947. The house is set within 200 acres (0.81 km2) of parkland, with direct access to the A303 road. Due to school sports pitches and other developments, the parkland was threatened with being put on the Heritage at Risk Register. However, this has not yet occurred as of June 2019. The gardens and parkland are listed as Grade II on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. References

Хедингтън Хил Хол

Хедингтън Хил Хол (на английски: Headington Hill Hall) се намира на Хедингтън Хил – хълм в източната част на Оксфорд, Англия. Построена е през 1824 г. за семейство Морел, което остава в резиденция в продължение на 114 години. Става дом на Пергамон Прес и на медийния магнат Робърт Максуел. Към 2022 г. там се помещава Правният факултет на Университет „Оксфорд Брукс“. История Сградата е построена през 1824 г. за сем. Морел, известни местни пивовари, и е разширена между 1856 и 1858 г. от Джеймс Морел младши (1810 – 1863), който построява имение в стил по италиански по проект на арх. Джон Томас (1813 – 1862). Джеймс Морел и съпругата му Алиша умират през 1863 и 1864 г., оставяйки активите си, включително сградата и пивоварната, в тръст за тяхната 10-годишна дъщеря Емили Морел (1854 – 1938). Тримата попечители се опитват да се справят с влюбването на Емили в далечен братовчед, като я изпращат при нейна леля и забраняват всякаква комуникация между двойката. Емили обаче се омъжва за братовчед си и се прибира в Хол. Оскар Уайлд, пищно облечен като принц Руперхт, присъства на масовия първомайски бал, организиран от Емили и Хърбърт Морел в залата за около 300 гости на 1 май 1878 г. Лейди Отолайн Морел (1873 – 1938), която притежава сградата за известен период, е особено свързана с Кръга „Блумсбури“ като домакиня. От 1939 г. имотът е реквизиран от правителството за използване като военна болница по време на Втората световна война. След войната се превръща в рехабилитационен център, управляван от Червения кръст и Ордена на Св. Йоан. През 1953 г. Джеймс Морел III продава сградата на Градския съвет на Оксфорд. Тя продължава да се използва като рехабилитационен център до 1958 г. Впоследствие издателят Робърт Максуел (1923 – 1991), основател на Пергамон Прес, взема под наем сградата, наета от Съвета за 32 години като резиденция и офиси. Той го описва като „най-добрия общински съвет в страната“. Максуел поръчва стъклопис, изобразяващ Самсон пред портите на Газа, от израелския скулптор Нехемия Азаз за императорското стълбище. От 1992 г. Съветът отдава имота под наем на Университет „Оксфорд Брукс“. В него се помещава Юридическият факултет на университета.

Headington Hill Hall

Headington Hill Hall stands on Headington Hill in the east of Oxford, England. It was built in 1824 for the Morrell family, who remained in residence for 114 years. It became the home to Pergamon Press and to media tycoon Robert Maxwell. It currently houses Oxford Brookes School of Law. History The hall was built in 1824 for the Morrell family, local brewers. It was extended between 1856 and 1858 by James Morrell Jr. (1810–1863) who built an Italianate mansion designed by the architect John Thomas. James Morrell and his wife Alicia died in 1863 and 1864, leaving their possessions including the hall and the brewery on trust for their 10-year-old daughter Emily Morrell. The three trustees tried to deal with Emily's crush on a distant cousin by sending her away to an aunt and forbidding any communication between the pair. Emily married her cousin and made her home at the Hall. Oscar Wilde, gaudily dressed as Prince Rupert, attended an all-night fancy dress May Day Ball given by Emily and Herbert Morrell at the Hall for around 300 guests on 1 May 1878. Lady Ottoline Morrell (1873–1938), who owned the Hall for a period, was particularly associated with the Bloomsbury Group as a hostess. From 1939, the property was requisitioned by the government for use as a military hospital during World War II. After the war, it became a rehabilitation centre for Battle of Britain pilots, run by the Red Cross and the Order of St John. In 1953, James Morrell III sold Headington Hill Hall to Oxford City Council. It continued to be used as a rehabilitation centre until 1958. Subsequently, the publisher Robert Maxwell (1923–1991), founder of Pergamon Press and his family, took an 85-year lease on the building and the surrounding 14-acre estate from the Council, and Maxwell took a 40-year sub lease for the hall itself from one of his companies. He described it as the "best council house in the country" and undertook a careful restoration of the building, matching colours to originals and repairing stucco ceilings from the derelict condition he had taken on the property in. Maxwell commissioned a stained-glass window depicting Samson at the Gates of Gaza by Israeli sculptor Nehemia Azaz for the imperial staircase. Maxwell built an office building in the grounds of the hall to house Pergamon Press which after coming under the control of Oxford Brookes University became the Helena Kennedy Students’ Centre. After Maxwell's death, and subsequent denouement, receivers Grant Thornton marketed the balance of the lease for the site, the hall and the 50,000 sq ft office block through Conrad Ritblat & Co. In December 1992, sums of between £7.5 million and £20 million were reported for the lease. Since 1992, the Council has leased the property to Oxford Brookes University. It houses the Oxford Brookes University School of Law. See also Headington Hill Park References External links Historic England. "Details from listed building database (1047044)".

Headington Hill Park

Headington Hill Park is a park on Headington Hill in the east of Oxford, England. The park is part of the grounds of Headington Hill Hall, previously owned by the Morrell family, bought by Oxford City Council, and leased to Oxford Brookes University since 1992. The landscaping for the park was originally designed in the 1850s by William Hart Baxter, curator of the Oxford Botanical Garden. The park was bought by the City Council in 1953 and landscaped with trees and ornamental shrubs. Headington Hill Park is located between the Marston Road and London Road. St Clement's links the park with central Oxford. On the other side of London Road is South Park, also owned by the Morrell family until 1939. Headington Hill Park is connected to South Park via a high-level wrought-iron footbridge over the main London Road up Headington Hill. The Park includes a carriage road through a striking avenue of limes which runs down to Marston Road. Originally, this allowed the Morrell family to ride down the hill to St Clement's Church, crossing the main road into the church drive which continues the lime tree planting scheme. Headington Hill Park has been used for many outside events including Shakespeare plays by Creation Theatre company and from 2012 has been used for wedding receptions.

Headland Hotel

The Headland Hotel is a Grade II listed building located in Newquay, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It was opened in June 1900 and is built on a prominent position overlooking Fistral Beach and Towan Head. History Silvanus Trevail's Great Western Hotel at Newquay, completed in 1879, was the first in a string of hotels designed to appeal to renewed interest in Cornwall as a winter resort for the middle classes. Trevail's Cornish Hotels Company was formed in 1890. The company's Atlantic Hotel was built in 1892 following which Trevail intended to build an upmarket estate, with another luxury hotel, on the headlands of Newquay but lack of money hampered his plans. This scheme provoked a lot of opposition from the local people of Newquay. When building finally began on the Headland Hotel in 1897, riots broke out in the town as it threatened the local custom of using the clifftop as grazing land and space to dry fishermen's nets. This, together with planning problems, delayed completion until June 1900, by which time a rival hotel, the Victoria, which had started construction later, was already open. The contractor for the Headland was Arthur Carkeek of Redruth with the terracotta coming from Ruabon, North Wales. James Shoolbred & Co of London supplied most of the furniture. Trevail suggested the hotel would be 'The largest hotel in the west', twice the size of the Atlantic hotel and in a better position. The building was lavishly decorated with red Rueben terracotta columns and pediments. It had an electric lift and electric lighting in all 120 rooms. Originally the cost of building the hotel was estimated at £25,000 including £4,000's worth of terracotta, but Trevail installed luxurious furnishings from Heal's of London, expensive kitchen equipment, a tennis court and 4 croquet lawns. The eventual cost was £50,000 all together. The hotel received its first guests in June 1900. It is, according to Nikolaus Pevsner, "decidedly disappointing, Victorian, yellow and red brick, tall and symmetrical, pavilion roofs and no redeeming features". It is one of the few hotels in Newquay to retain its original appearance. In 1911, Edward, Prince of Wales, and his brother Prince Albert (later Kings Edward VIII and George VI respectively) recuperated at the hotel after catching measles and mumps while studying at Royal Naval College, Dartmouth. During World War II the hotel was requisitioned as an RAF hospital, as were many other hotels in Newquay. The 1990 film adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel The Witches was shot here, and was called "Hotel Excelsior" in the film. 21st-century During the UK lockdown, the ocean-facing side of the building was covered in scaffolding as builders replaced many of the wooden windowsills, restored the four sunset view balconies, and carried out essential repairs to the rest of the exterior, as part of a £55,000 conservation programme.

Headland Hotel

Lo Headland Hotel è uno storico albergo di Newquay, in Cornovaglia (Inghilterra sud-occidentale), costruito nel 1898 su progetto di Sylvanus Trevail ed inaugurato nel 1900. L'edificio è classificato come monumento di secondo grado. Ubicazione L'edificio è situato nella Headland Road, in un promontorio sull'Oceano Atlantico che si affaccia sulla Fistral Beach. Storia L'albergo aprì le proprie porte alla sua clientela nel giugno del 1900. Lo Headland Hotel iniziò quindi ad annoverare tra i suoi ospiti anche membri della famiglia reale, i primi dei quali furono re Edoardo VII e la sua consorte, la regina Alessandra di Danimarca. Nel corso della seconda guerra mondiale, lo Headland Hotel fu trasformato in ospedale da campo per le truppe della RAF. Nell'immediato dopoguerra, l'albergo conobbe un periodo di declino fino agli anni settanta, quando fu acquistato dalla famiglia Armstrong. I nuovi proprietari investirono in seguito circa 30 milioni di sterline nel giro di 40 anni per trasformare lo Headland Hotel in un hotel di lusso. Il 12 maggio 1988, lo Headland Hotel fu dichiarato monumento classificato. Architettura L'edificio, in pietra rossa, è di forma quadrata e possiede tre piani più un attico. Lo Headland Hotel come location di film e fiction Lo Headland Hotel fu utilizzato come location per il film, diretto da Nicolas Roeg e con protagonista Anjelica Huston, Chi ha paura delle streghe? (The Witches, 1990) Lo Headland Hotel compare in alcune scene di tre film TV tedeschi del ciclo "Rosamunde Pilcher", segnatamente in La figlia ritrovata (Englischer Wein), Klippen der Liebe e Das große Erbe Note Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su Headland Hotel Collegamenti esterni Sito ufficiale, su headlandhotel.co.uk.
