The Thomas Aveling School

The Thomas Aveling School is a secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in Rochester, Kent, England. History The school is named after Thomas Aveling, inventor of the traction engine and a partner in the world's largest manufacturer of steamrollers in the 19th century, Aveling and Porter, who were located in Rochester. The school badge depicts one of Aveling's steamrollers, below two trees that cross one another to represent the merging of two schools. The Thomas Aveling School was formed in 1990 after three local schools, (Warren Wood Boys, Warren Wood Girls and Highfield) were closed. The former Warren Wood Boys School site was re-developed with new facilities added to the refurbished classroom and administration block and school hall. During the 1990s, the school became grant-maintained, enabling the Board of Governors to expand the facilities, including the addition of a sports hall in 1997. In 2001, the school received a positive Ofsted report. In 1997, with the lapse of the grant-maintained system within England, the school became a foundation school and was taken under the authority of the newly formed Medway LEA. The school went on to gain Technology College status and Training School status. The school became an academy in September 2011. Site Since its creation in 1990, new facilities have been built at the school. These include development of the Learning Resource Centre and Community Library (2002), a music recording studio (2003), fitness and media suites (2004), a post-16 science lab (2005), a design & technology suite (2006), a drama facility (2008) and, more recently, sports facilities. Subjects In Years 7 and 8 students study English, Maths, Science, Design Technology, PE, RE, PSHE, History, Geography, Art, Dance, Drama, Music and a Modern Foreign Language. When entering Year 9 all students study English, Maths, Science, RE and PSHE. Students then have a free choice of four other subjects to study at GCSE. The options include Art & Design, Business studies, Dance, Drama, Geography, History, ICT, Media studies, Modern Foreign Languages and Music. League Tables and Examination results A 2012 BBC report says that 45% of students received 5 A*-Cs in GCSE subjects. 85% of sixth form students attained three A-levels. As a result, the school became the 12th best secondary school in the Medway towns based on GCSE results, and 10th based on students getting three A-levels or equivalent.

The Thomas Hardye School

La Escuela Thomas Hardye (en inglés: Thomas Hardye School) es una escuela secundaria ubicada en la localidad de Dorchester, en Dorset, Inglaterra. Los alumnos que estudian en este establecimiento financiado por el gobierno asisten al noveno año de su educación (13-14 años de edad), al décimo (14-15 años) o al décimo primero (15-16 años). La escuela posee además un centro de sixth form. Los estudiantes rinden exámenes Advanced Level y Vocational Certificate of Education. Cuenta con más de 2300 alumnos, incluyendo los más de 800 que estudian en cursos de preparación del sixth form. La escuela actual, que es mixta, es el resultado de la fusión en 1992 de los antiguos establecimientos educativos de Hardye's School (de varones) y Castlefield School (de mujeres), siendo su edificio el que solía ser el de la escuela para niñas. El edificio del Hardye's School fue vendido y sobre su terreno se construyeron viviendas. La escuela no debe su nombre a Thomas Hardy, el famoso escritor de Dorchester, ni al almirante Thomas Hardy, a quien se honra con un monumento ubicado cerca de la escuela, sino a una tercera persona del mismo nombre que fundó la primera escuela pública de Dorchester en el siglo XVI.

L'historien de l'architecture J. Mordaunt Crook la décrit comme « l'exemple le plus complet d'un intérieur laïc médiéval produit par le néogothique, et le dernier ». La maison est construite en briques rouges, avec des parements en pierre de Bath et des ardoises vertes de Cumbria. Elle possède une tour cylindrique et un toit conique. Le rez-de-chaussée contient un salon, une salle à manger et une bibliothèque, et le premier étage comprend deux chambres et une armurerie.

The Towers is a small English country house situated in Sheffield, England. The house stands on Sandygate Road close to the junction with Coldwell Lane in the suburb of Crosspool. It is a Grade II listed building as is the lodge and attached gateway and the concave garden wall. It has been described as “an extraordinary Scottish baronial fantasy”. History The Towers which is constructed in the Scottish Baronial style was built by the architects Flockton & Gibbs in 1896, the house was built on the north side of what had been a public pleasure ground in the early 19th century, set up by George Woollen, owner of the Rivelin Corn Mill. The Towers was built for Christopher D. Leng (1861-1921), the son of W. C. Leng, editor of the Sheffield Daily Telegraph from 1864 until his death in 1902. Christopher D. Leng succeeded his father as joint owner of the newspaper. Leng was also an agriculturist and had the house built in what was then a rural situation with a small dairy farm attached and set up his company The Sheffield Model Dairy Ltd. which applied modern (Canadian) dairy farming methods to produce its own dairy products for retail. The house was extended to the west in 1905 and a low curtain wall was constructed with eight small towers built at the angles. Christopher Leng became something of a local character, he was a keen golfer and was influential in founding the nearby Hallamshire Golf Club which he opened in 1897. He also became involved in the campaign to save Endcliffe Hall in 1913, in 1920 he became engaged in setting out the housing on Den Bank Avenue. He died suddenly on New Years Day 1921, aged 59. After Leng’s death the house was used for various purposes, during World War II The Towers provided a temporary headquarters for the Sheffield tool firm Spear & Jackson when their offices were bombed. In 1954 Sheffield City Council opened the house as a centre for handicapped children. In 1996 the house was purchased and restored and is now back in use as a private residence. Architecture The house is constructed from coursed rubble with ashlar dressings, it has a plain tile roof and all windows are sash design.

The tower has five storeys and features two storey oriel and bay windows. The south facing frontage is two storey with two further smaller conical turrets, it faces onto a large lawn. There is extensive use of Crow-stepped gables which along with the turrets are integral elements of the Scottish Baronial style. The interior has kept much of its original embellishments, including a panelled entrance hall. Most of the original doors, doorcases, skirting, coving and fireplaces survive. The lodge is constructed in the same style as the main house with an attached round tower with conical roof. The attached gateway has ashlars piers and wooden gates. References

Coleton Fishacre

Coleton Fishacre ist ein Anwesen aus den 1920er Jahren, das ein Haus im Stil des Arts and Crafts Movement und einen 10 Hektar großen Garten umfasst. Es liegt am Ärmelkanal in der Nähe von Kingswear in der Grafschaft Devon, England. Das Anwesen ist im Besitz des National Trust. Das Haus Das große Wohnhaus des Coleton Fishacre wurde zwischen 1923 und 1926 als Landsitz für Rupert D’Oyly Carte (1876–1948), Sohn des Theateragenten und Impresarios Richard D’Oyly Carte, und seine Frau Dorothy Carte (1889–1977) errichtet. Der Architekt war Oswald Milne, ein ehemaliger Assistent Edwin Lutyens. Das Haus plante er nach den Grundsätzen des Arts and Crafts Movements. Im Vordergrund standen daher die Einfachheit des Designs und die hohe Qualität der handwerklichen Arbeit. Das Haus ist aus lokalem Schiefer mit einem Schieferdach erbaut. Das Innere des Hauses wurde dagegen im Stil des Art déco der 1920er Jahre ausgeführt. Die Innenausstattung folgt daher einem minimalistischen Design, das auf Ausschmückungen in den Zimmern und Gängen weitgehend verzichtet. Die hellen Zimmer mit Akzenten von starken Farben sind typisch für die 1920er Jahre. Obwohl zunächst nur als Landsitz erbaut, wohnte Lady Dorothy ab den späten 1920er Jahren auf dem Anwesen als Hauptwohnsitz. 1932 verunglückte Michael D’Oyly Carte (1911–1932), der Sohn des Ehepaars, im Alter von 21 Jahren bei einem Verkehrsunfall in der Schweiz. Die Eheleute konnten den frühen Tod ihres Sohnes nicht verwinden und ließen sich 1941 scheiden. Nach der Scheidung übernahm deren Tochter Bridget D’Oyly Carte (1908–1985) das Haus. Ihr Vater, der zu dieser Zeit in London lebte, kam gelegentlich für verlängerte Wochenenden zu Besuch. Nach seinem Tod verkaufte sie das Haus 1949 an Rowland Smith, Inhaber eines Motorengeschäfts. Dieser beließ das Anwesen über die nächsten Jahrzehnte nahezu unverändert. 1982 gelangte das Anwesen in den Besitz des National Trust, der zunächst den Garten für den Publikumsverkehr öffnete. 1999 wurde das Wohnhaus für Besucher zugänglich gemacht. Der Garten Der Garten des Anwesens liegt abfallend zwischen dem Haus und dem Meer an einem Bach und endet am Pudcombe Cove. Der Garten wurde von Dorothy Carte angelegt und bietet heute seltene und exotische Pflanzen, die aufgrund des milden Golfstroms an diesem Teil der Küste von Devon wachsen können. In den 1930er Jahren waren sechs Gärtner beschäftigt, um den Garten zu pflegen, wohingegen sich vier Angestellte um den Haushalt kümmerten. Weblinks www.nationaltrust.org.uk www.britannia.com
Coleton Fishacre

Coleton Fishacre is a property consisting of a 24-acre (97,000 m2) garden and a house in the Arts and Crafts style, near Kingswear in Devon, England. The property has been in the ownership of the National Trust since 1982. The House The house at Coleton Fishacre was built as a country home for Rupert D'Oyly Carte and his wife, Lady Dorothy Carte, between 1923 and 1926. The architect was Oswald Milne, a former assistant to Edwin Lutyens, who designed the house with the principles of the Arts and Crafts Movement in mind: simplicity of design and quality of craftsmanship. The influence of this older movement notwithstanding, the house is influenced by its own time, especially in its Art Deco interior. The structure is built of local slate rubble with a Delabole slate roof. The design has been twice featured in Country Life magazine: 31 May 1930 and 25 October 2007, the latter of which shows full colour photos of the house (exterior and interior) and the gardens. The property runs down to the sea, where there are some outbuildings. Although built as a country home, Lady Dorothy lived in the house as her primary residence by the later 1920s. After the Cartes' divorce in 1941, their daughter, Bridget D'Oyly Carte, took over the house, which her father, who lived in London, would visit for long weekends. She sold the house in 1949, after his death, to Rowland Smith, owner of the Palace Hotel in Torquay. Smith and his wife Freda kept up the property until his death in 1979. The house is a Grade II listed building. The Garden The garden at Coleton Fishacre runs down a narrow combe from the house to the sea at Pudcombe Cove. It was originally planted by Lady Dorothy and features rare and exotic plants, some of which are unusual in their ability to grow outside a subtropical climate due to the proximity of the Gulf Stream to this part of the coast of Devon. Lady Dorothy was noted for retrieving exotic plant species for the garden during her journeys abroad. The Cartes employed a staff of six to maintain the garden, compared with a staff of four to run the house. The garden is Grade II* listed in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. National Trust Coleton Fishacre was acquired by the National Trust in 1982 as part of its Project Neptune, with an eye to completing the South West Coast Path in that area. The garden was opened to the public immediately, while the house was let to tenants. The Trust finally opened the house to the public in 1999.

Guy's Hospital

Guy's Hospital je nemocnice NHS v londýnském obvodě Southwark. Majitelem je Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. V nemocnici jsou umístěny lékařská a zubařská fakulta King's College London. Komplex se skládá z 19 propojených budov. Nejvýznamnější jsou Guy’s Tower, New Guy’s House a Thomas Guy House. Historie Nemocnice byla založena v roce 1721 Thomasem Guyem původně pro nevyléčitelné pacienty ze St Thomas’ Hospital. Během let se postupně rozšiřovala. Původní budova stála na St. Thomas Street. Po zásahu bomby během 2. světové války zůstala neporušena kaple z 18. století a busta zakladatele. Díky odkazu Williama Hunta ve výši 200.000 £ v roce 1829 došlo k významnému zvýšení počtu lůžek a po Huntovi bylo pojmenováno jižní křídlo. V roce 2000 ho nahradil New Hunt’s House. 34 patrová Guy’s Tower byla připojena v roce 1974 a s 143 metry je nejvyšší nemocniční stavbou na světě. V roce 2005 bylo dětské oddělení přeloženo do Evelina Children’s Hospital. Významní lékaři a vědci Thomas Addison Thomas Hodgkin Richard Bright Astley Cooper Alexander Fleming Samuel S.
