Christ Church, Tunstall

Christ Church is an Anglican church in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. It is the parish church of Goldenhill and Tunstall; the combined parish, which is an Anglo-Catholic parish, was created in 2010. It is a Grade II listed building. History The church is a Commissioners' church, designed by Francis Bedford and built in 1831–1832. £3,000 of the total cost was provided by parliamentary grant, and the remaining £1,000 by private subscription. It was consecrated by the Bishop of Lichfield, Henry Ryder, on 14 August 1832. The church was built of Chell stone. It has lancet windows, in pairs or single; the tower originally had an octagonal spire, which was removed in 1971 for safety reasons. In 1885–1886 the east end was redesigned by A. R. Wood: a larger chancel was created, flanked by a south chapel and by an organ chamber, and two shallow transepts were created. There was originally a single bell, which was replaced by a peal of six bells in 1856. Two more were added in the early 20th century.

Queen's Theatre, Burslem

The Queen's Theatre (originally Queen's Hall) is a theatre building in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, England. It is situated in Wedgwood Street in the town centre. It is a Grade II listed building, listed on 19 April 1972. History It was commissioned as Burslem's town hall, to replace the town hall built in the 1850s, and was built by the architects Russell and Cooper. Completed in 1911, after the Federation of Stoke-on-Trent in 1910 made its original purpose obsolete, the building was opened as the Queen's Theatre, a venue for drama, concerts and other entertainments. Requiring repairs, the theatre closed in 1998. From 2003 events occasionally took place; it closed again in 2014. Architecture The front, faced with ashlar, has a portico of full height with three pairs of Corinthian columns and an entablature above; there is a windowless attic storey above this. There is a large doorway between each pair of columns. To the right of the main frontage is a wing of the building, of two storeys, with ten windows on each storey and an entrance. It is supposed that this part, being less ornate, was created after it was known that the building was no longer intended as a town hall. The foyer has a white marble staircase at each end. The auditorium has a rear and side balconies, and a ceiling with decorative plasterwork and large Art Deco lamps. Restoration plans A memorandum of understanding was signed in December 2025 between Stoke-on-Trent City Council and IFK Legacy Community Interest Company (CIC). The IFK Legacy CIC, established to celebrate the life and impact of the rock musician Lemmy Kilmister, particularly in his home town of Burslem, unveiled a statue of Kilmister near the theatre in May 2025. The memorandum relates to plans to restore the theatre as a music and arts venue serving the community. Councillor Jane Ashworth, leader of Stoke-on-Trent City Council, said: "This agreement means we can explore ways to give Burslem a music and arts venue while breathing new life into one of the most important buildings in Burslem's Conservation Area."

Newport Roundhouse

Newport Roundhouse, formerly known as Newport Town Hall, is a municipal building in Newport Square in Newport, Cornwall, England. The structure, which is one of the places in Cornwall where royal proclamations are read out, is a Grade II listed building. History The building was commissioned by Hugh Percy, 3rd Duke of Northumberland, whose local seat was at Werrington Manor, to serve as a modest market house for the town, and also to accommodate the remains of the market cross, which was a medieval shaft carved from granite. The site he selected, on the south side of Newport Square, had been occupied by a leather drying loft owned by a local currier, Nicholas Burt. The building was designed in the Gothic Revival style, built in brick with a stucco finish, and was completed in 1829. The duke was interested in classical architecture and asked for the design to be based on the Tower of the Winds in Athens. The design involved an octagonal structure with a series of buttresses supporting it at the corners. The eight bays featured four arched openings, two openings which were infilled at the bottom, and two openings which were completely infilled. The building was surmounted by a cornice, a castellated parapet, a conical roof and a weather vane. It became known as "the Temple of the Winds". The building served both as a local market hall and also as the place where parliamentary selection results for the parliamentary constituency of Newport were announced. However, Newport had a very small electorate and a dominant patron, the duke, which meant it was recognised by the UK Parliament as a rotten borough. Its right to elect members of parliament was removed by the Reform Act 1832. By the second half of the 19th century, the building was simply known as "Newport Town Hall". The building was eventually acquired by the proprietor of the White Horse Inn, Charles Burt, who used it as a shed for the storage of building materials. In the early 1920s, his son, George Burt, decided to give the building to Launceston Town Council. The council concreted over the floor and had three seats installed. An extensive programme of refurbishment works, costing £30,000, as carried out to a design by Parkes Leas Architects in the early 21st century. After the works had been completed the building was officially re-opened in November 2005. The building, which remains under the ownership and management of Launceston Town Council, was one of the places in Cornwall at which the proclamation of King Charles III was read out in September 2022.

St Nicholas Church, Kelvedon Hatch

St Nicholas Church is the Church of England parish church in the Essex village of Kelvedon Hatch. It was first recorded around 1254, when the rectory of the church of (Magdalen) Lever was valued at 6 marks, rising to 10 marks in 1291 and £12 in 1535. The original medieval parish church was fully rebuilt in the early 1750s, retaining a 15th-century bell and the octagonal font, which probably also dates to the 15th century. £380 was spent restoring it in 1873; but by 1893 the main population centre of the village had shifted elsewhere, and it was decided to build a new church nearer to that centre. Costing £2000, designed by the local architect John Thomas Newman and using a site originally intended as a new village cemetery, the new redbrick church was consecrated in 1895 and included many fittings from the medieval and Georgian building, including the font, the 1460–1480 bell and the 19th-century seating. It was restored in 1927 and is a Grade II listed building. The old church was allowed to fall into disrepair and also damaged by a vengeance weapon in 1945. Some medieval floor slabs and 16th-to-18th-century wall monuments survived in the old church until at least 1956, including some for the Wrights of Kelvedon Hall, on whose estate it stood, and the Luther family of Moyses's, who probably gave the church its 1674 silver cup and paten, which bear their family coat of arms.

The Golden Lion Hotel, Northallerton

The Golden Lion Hotel is a historic building in Northallerton, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. The original Golden Lion was a small coaching inn built in the 18th century, the third to be established in the town after the Black Bull and the King's Head. In 1745, John Wesley preached at the inn. Around this time, it was replaced by a much larger inn of the same inn, which dominated the town's postal service and stabled about 30 horses. It later became a hotel, with guests including the future Nicholas I of Russia, Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn and Andrew Carnegie. In the 1920s, it was taken over by the Trust House group, which owned it until 1998. It appears in the 1945 film The Way to the Stars. The building was grade II listed in 1952. The hotel has roughcast rendering, a cornice and a pantile roof. It has three storeys and a complex plan, with a main range of ten bays, and rear wings.

Morton Bridge

Morton Bridge is a historic structure connecting Morton-on-Swale and Scruton, two villages in North Yorkshire, in England. A ferry across the River Swale at the location was first recorded in 1317. By the 16th century, John Leland recorded a wooden bridge in the village. The current bridge was constructed between 1800 and 1803, by John Carr, at a cost of £8,240 10s. It was grade II listed in 1986. Brian Wragg and Giles Worsley describe it as "a very architectural conception" with "ashlar and rustication in profusion". It carries what is now the A684 road. The bridge is built of stone, and consists of four segmental arches with voussoirs and hood moulds. There are three polygonal rusticated cutwaters rising to canted pedestrian refuges. The bridge has a band and a parapet, flanking the end arches are pilasters, and at the ends are round piers with hemispherical caps.

Orwell Park School

Orwell Park School is a day and boarding preparatory school for boys and girls in the village of Nacton on the edge of Ipswich in the English county of Suffolk. Founded in 1868 in Lowestoft, the school currently accommodates around 300 boys and girls between the ages of 2½ and 13 years. It is a member of the IAPS. Present school The School is split into two sections: Pre-Prep School (Nursery – Year 2, ages 2½-7) Prep School (Year 3 – Year 8, ages 7–13) The school is located in a grade II listed building in about 110 acres (450,000 m2) of parkland in the Suffolk village of Nacton, overlooking the River Orwell. The school's curriculum includes English, maths, sciences, humanities, art, music, TPR, modern foreign languages, classics (including Latin and Greek) as well as computing and life skills. History The school was founded by the Reverend Walter Wilkinson in Lowestoft in 1868, then known as Crespigny House. It moved to Aldeburgh in 1870, changing its name to Eaton House and then Aldeburgh Lodge. The school finally moved to its present location of Nacton in 1937, being renamed again as Orwell Park. During World War II, the school was evacuated, first to Devon, and then Shropshire. As part of preparations for the D-Day landings, Orwell School was used by the 7th Armoured Division (The Desert Rats) as a training location due to its sloped terrain leading down to estuary of the River Orwell. Whilst originally admitting only boys, girls were first accepted in 1992. Former pupils of the school are known as 'Old Orwellians'. History of the buildings According to Pevsner, the main school building dates to c. 1770, built by the family of Admiral Edward Vernon. It was acquired by Colonel George Tomline in 1848, who proceeded to extend and modify the building and grounds. Most notably, this included the addition of an observatory containing a 26 cm refracting telescope, known as the Tomline Refractor, that is still in use today. Other than the main school building itself, there are other grade II listed buildings nearby, such as the Water Tower, Orangery and Clock Tower. The Pre-Prep classrooms are in a separate, purpose-built building, completed in 2013. Sports and other activities The usual range of sports are offered at the school, for both boys and girls, including: rugby, hockey and cricket, with football, golf, sailing, skiing, swimming and tennis also available. Orwell Park School has links with Mayo College in Ajmer, Rajasthan, India, with staff and pupils from both schools undertaking several exchange visits over the past few years. The upcoming film School's Out Forever, based on Scott K. Andrews's book School's Out was shot in part at the school. References Bibliography Gillian Bence-Jones.

Ray Mill House

Ray Mill House is a 19th-century country house in Reybridge, a hamlet near Lacock, Wiltshire, England. It is privately owned by Queen Camilla. History Ray Mill House was constructed around 1860. In 1987 it was listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England by English Heritage. In 1996, Camilla Parker Bowles bought the house for £850,000 (equivalent to £1,706,000 in 2025) following her divorce from Andrew Parker Bowles. The Earl of Halifax established a trust fund for Camilla to help her with the purchase of the house following her divorce. Camilla had lost £400,000 as one of the 'Names' of Lloyd's of London in the mid 1990s. She retained ownership of the house after she moved into Clarence House with Charles, the then-Prince of Wales, in 2003. She hosted her daughter Laura's wedding reception at the house in 2006. Camilla has retained ownership of the house since becoming queen upon her husband's accession in 2022. In 2025, Charles III bought the property next to Ray Mill House, known as the Old Mill, for £3 million with his private funds, to preserve Camilla's privacy and prevent the building from being turned into a wedding venue. Gardens The house has twelve acres (five hectares) of gardens. Charles III helped oversee the design of the gardens following Camilla's purchase of the house. Honey from beehives in the garden, along with bees from Highgrove House, is sold at Fortnum & Mason with the proceeds going to charity. The gardens were featured in the July 2022 edition of Country Life to celebrate Camilla's 75th birthday. Design Ray Mill House is largely of 19th-century Italianate construction with later 20th-century Neo-Georgian additions. English Heritage describes the building as "Two storeys, asymmetric Italianate style with gables treated as open pediments. [...] North and south sides and west end have similar gables with tripartite ground floor window, broad band supporting paired angle pilasters up to pediment angles, tripartite first floor windows and pediment lunette. [...] Paired stone piers to porch and C20 neo-Georgian hood. [...] East end service range altered on south side in neo-Georgian style." It has six bedrooms. Robert Kime assisted Camilla with the interior design of the house, and described it as having "family stuff" and Italian furniture from Camilla's great aunt Violet Trefusis. The drawing room of the house has a portrait of Alice Keppel, Camilla's great-grandmother. The house has a swimming pool. Charles III advised Camilla to not heat the pool during the winter months to save energy; this eventually resulted in thousands of pounds of damage to pipes that had frozen. References
Bampton Town Hall

Bampton Town Hall is a municipal building in the Market Square in Bampton, Oxfordshire, England. The building, which is primarily used as an arts centre, is a Grade II listed building. History In the early 19th century Bampton was one of the few market towns in the county without a market hall; local business leaders decided to raise the necessary funds by public subscription to erect a building in the Market Square. The site they selected was open land at the corner of Cheapside and the High Street where weekly markets were typically held. The foundation stone for the new building was laid by one of the lords of the manor, Thomas Denton, on 8 August 1838. It was designed by George Wilkinson in the Italianate style, built by a local mason, James Pettifer, in rubble masonry at a cost of £300 and it was completed later that year. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with three bays facing onto the High Street; the central bay, which slightly projected forward and was gabled, featured two openings with architraves and keystones on the ground floor and three tall round headed windows with architraves and keystones on the first floor. The outer bays featured openings with architraves and keystones on the ground floor and blind recessed panels containing fire insurance plaques, issued by the Liverpool and London Globe Insurance Company, on the first floor. Internally, the principal rooms were the market hall on the ground floor and the main assembly hall on the first floor. The lords of the manor, Thomas Denton and Frederick Whitaker, conveyed the site to trustees after the building was completed and the conveyancing fees had been paid. The assembly hall was used for magistrates' court hearings and public events in the mid-19th century. The market in Bampton failed to attract many merchants and was described by one of the then lords of the manor, Edward Whitaker, in the mid 19th century as a "white elephant". The east end of the market hall was converted into garaging for the horse-drawn fire engine in 1870, while the west end of the market hall was converted into a subscription reading room in 1884 and then into a public lending library in 1891. Ownership of the building was transferred to the newly-formed Bampton Parish Council in 1895. The building was extended to the north and to the east at the expense of a local resident, Philip Southby, so improving improved access to the first floor, in 1906 and, following Southby's death, a clock was installed on the east side of the building, to commemorate his contribution to the town, in 1908. The east end of the ground floor continued to accommodate the local fire engine until the fire service moved to New Street in 1970. An extensive programme of refurbishment works costing £6,000 was carried out at that time. Following completion of the works, the parish council moved their meetings to a room on the ground floor and the first floor room was let to the West Oxfordshire Arts Association. The clock, which tended to break down, was taken down in 1972. In 1974, poet and comedian Pam Ayres read a poem in the town hall at an early stage of her career. References
Manor Farm, West Challow

Manor Farm in West Challow, Oxfordshire, England, is a building of historical significance and is Grade II listed on the English Heritage Register. It is a Queen Anne–style house with earlier parts. It was included in Candida Lycett Green's book called The Perfect English Country House. The property was owned by many prominent people over the centuries. Today it provides bed-and-breakfast accommodation and caters for special events, particularly weddings. Early history The village of West Challow was once called the Manor of Petwick and in about 1100 was held by the nuns of Amesbury. In 1541, at the time of the dissolution of the priory, the manor was granted to Sir Thomas Seymour, who sold it to the tenant Richard Plott. It descended through two generations of this family until it was sold in 1600 to Henry Martyn. By 1635 it had passed to Ralph Pigott, and it remained in this family until 1802. The Pigott family were wealthy landowners in the area, and many of their monuments are still in St Laurence Church at West Challow. It is likely that one of them built the Queen Anne additions to the present Manor Farm. The most likely person is Francis Pigott, the heir, who married Ann Barr in 1724 at about the time of the new construction. Later owners In 1802 Thomas Hatton, a wealthy landowner who lived in Childrey, bought the manor from the Pigott family. He died in 1804 and left the property to his children. In 1818 an advertisement was placed in the newspaper by his son William Hatton for the sale of the farm. It stated that the Manor House came "with dove house, barns, stables, cow houses, and other outbuildings, yard and garden". It was sold shortly after this to Daniel Agace, who lived in Ascot. On his death in 1828 the manor passed to his relative Daniel Ferard, who died in 1837, leaving it to his eldest son Charles Cotton Ferard. Charles owned the manor for about 50 years, during which time he let it to various tenants. One group who rented the house for many years was the Hunt family. Uriah Hunt (1817–1870) took a lease on Manor Farm about 1860. He had previously been on a smaller farm (about 130 acres) in West Challow with his wife Harriet and six children, but by 1861 he had moved to the Manor House and was farming over 500 acres and employing 17 men and 12 women. When he died in 1870, his son Frederick took over the farm and then later moved to the Rectory Farm in Cambridgeshire. He died in 1919 a fairly wealthy man. The current owner is the Rt. Hon. David Maundrell and the South African socialite Lady Louise Maundrell who is fastidiously restoring the property to its former glory. David is a serial entrepreneur and philanthropist well known in the Oxfordshire county. Charles Cotton Ferard died in 1886, and in 1887 the property was advertised for rent. In 1899 the farm was sold to Robert Loyd-Lindsay, 1st Baron Wantage, and when he died in 1901, his wife Lady Harriet Wantage became the owner.
