St Wilfrid's Church, Kirby Knowle

St Wilfrid's Church is the parish church of Kirby Knowle, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. A church was built on the site in the 12th century, and was altered in the 13th century. Its chancel was rebuilt in 1815, but in 1848 it was still described as a "small structure". The building was demolished, and a new church was built between 1873 and 1874, to an Early English design by G. Fowler Jones. The church was grade II listed in 1966. The church is built of stone with a Welsh slate roof. It consists of a nave, a chancel with a north vestry and a southwest tower with a gabled south porch. The tower has two stages, a chamfered plinth, buttresses, slit vents, paired bell openings with impost bands, and a stepped embattled parapet on a dentilled base. The windows in the church are lancets, and the east window has three lancets under quatrefoils. Inside, there are 17th- and 18th-century brass memorials, a broken Mediaeval graveslab and some other Mediaeval stones. The font probably dates from the 17th century.

The Alice Hawthorn

The Alice Hawthorn is a historic pub in Nun Monkton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The building was constructed in the late 18th century as a house, but in 1781 was first recorded as pub, named "The Bluebell". In the mid 19th century, it was renamed after the racehorse Alice Hawthorn. The building was extended to the left, right and rear in the 20th century, with the main entrance moved from the centre to the left extension. The building was grade II listed in 1987. The pub has closed and reopened several times, but is now the last of four pubs which once served Nun Monkton. In 2022, it was renovated by De Matos Ryan to provide a bar, restaurant, and four bedrooms, with a further eight bedrooms in outbuildings. In 2025, it was recognised by the Michelin Guide as one of the ten best pubs in Yorkshire. The pub is built of brick, with a floor band, a cogged eaves band, and a pantile roof, raised on the left. There are two storeys and four bays. The entrance is in the right bay, and the windows are sashes. Inside, it has flagstone floors and visible beams.

Emmanuel Church, Forest Gate

Emmanuel Church, Forest Gate is a Church of England church in Forest Gate, east London. It was built in the Decorated Gothic variant of the neo-Gothic style in 1852 to designs by George Gilbert Scott and a new parish formed for it from parts of All Saints Church, West Ham and St Mary Magdalene's Church, East Ham. A north aisle was added in 1890. Bomb damage from the London Blitz was repaired. It was Grade II listed in 1984. The church also set up the mission churches of St Saviour's Church, Forest Gate in 1880 and St Mark's Church, Forest Gate (which gained a permanent building between 1893 and 1898 and a parish of its own (using parts of the parishes of Emmanuel and All Saints) in 1894. In 1881 part of its parish was joined with parts of those of All Saints Church, West Ham and St John's Church, Stratford to form a parish for St James' Church, Forest Gate. In 2023 a controversial clearing of headstones and monuments was undertaken by smashing them up and removing the debris, with financial support from the Newham Council. They did not ask for public comment on the decision but deferred to the Church authorities. The vicar was quoted as saying it was" 'a place littered with old graves' and they made the church look abandoned. Sources
Old Town Hall, Walthamstow

The Old Town Hall is a former municipal building in Orford Road, Walthamstow, London. The building served in a municipal capacity from 1866 to 1942 and then served as the main entrance block to the Connaught Hospital from 1959 to 1977. It is a Grade II listed building. History Use as the old town hall The first building on the site was a single storey public hall, which was used for entertainment and probably dated back to the first half of the 19th century. In the mid-19th century, the Walthamstow Local Board decided to demolish the earlier building and commission a new building on the site with the intention that it take over the role of local seat of government from the Vestry House in Vestry Road. The new building was designed in the Italianate style, built in yellow brick with stucco dressings and was completed in 1866. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of five bays facing onto Orford Road. The central section of three bays, which was slightly projected forward, featured a portico formed by Doric order columns on pedestals supporting an entablature and a parapet, with a canted window on the first floor. The flanking bays were fenestrated by round headed windows with architraves and keystones on both floors, while the outer bays were fenestrated by tri-partite round headed windows on the ground floor and by tri-partite square headed windows on the first floor. After the area became an urban district in 1895, the building served as council offices, and after the area became a municipal borough in 1929, it served as the town hall. It remained the main civic building in Walthamstow until 1942 when the council moved to a new building. The civic furnishings were removed from the old town hall at that time. It then remained empty until being converted for hospital use in 1959. Use as a hospital The facility has its origins in a small hospital for sick children established by a Mr and Mrs Tudor in a private house in Brandon Road in 1878. The hospital moved to Salisbury Road as the Leyton, Walthamstow and Wanstead Hospital in 1880. After acquiring additional premises, known as "Holmcroft" in Orford Road, the facility became the Children's and General Hospital for Leyton, Leytonstone, Walthamstow and Wanstead in 1894. It was renamed the Connaught Hospital after its patron, the Duchess of Connaught, in 1928. It acquired additional facilities in Orford Road in 1930 and, after joining the National Health Service in 1948, expanded further acquiring the old town hall in Orford Road as well in 1959. Later uses After patients had been transferred to the North Middlesex Hospital, the hospital closed in 1977 and, while most of the hospital buildings behind the old town hall were subsequently demolished, the old town hall itself was converted into an I-Kuan Tao temple and the former pathology department became the Waltham Forest Asian Centre, later the Waltham Forest Community Hub.

Nether Hall, Doncaster

Nether Hall is a large mansion in Doncaster. It is a Grade II listed building. History The building was designed as a mansion for the Copley family of Sprotbrough and was completed in the early to mid 18th century. Sir Fitzroy Maclean, 8th Baronet sold an estate in Barbados with 150 slaves for £14,285 and purchased Nether Hall in 1841. It became a private school in the 1870s and then became the headquarters of the Queen's Own Yorkshire Dragoons in the early 20th century. The regiment was mobilised at Nether Hall in August 1914 before being deployed to the Western Front. The hall was decommissioned after the war and acquired by Doncaster Rural District Council in 1921; a rear wing was built for use as a council chamber. Following the Local Government Act 1974 the hall was used to accommodate the finance department of the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster. After the finance department moved to new civic offices in Sir Nigel Gresley Square in 2013, Nether Hall was sold at auction for £410,000 in 2014. The building was offered for sale by auction again, by Allsop of London, with a guide price of £425,000 or more, in September 2023. References

Burn Bullock (public house)

The Burn Bullock is former public house in Mitcham, in the London Borough of Merton, England (at the time of its construction, the area was part of the county of Surrey). Parts of the building are thought to date to the 16th century. It was badly damaged by fire in April 2024. History The King's Head Hotel was built as a coaching inn. The Association of Cricket Umpires and Scorers was founded in the pub in 1953. It was Grade II listed in 1954, giving it legal protection from unauthorised alteration or demolition. In 1975 the pub was renamed for its former manager, the cricketer Burnett Bullock, who ran it from 1941 to 1954. Closure and fire The pub was closed in September 2009 because of ongoing anti-social behaviour. Around that time, it was sold for £450,000 to Phoenix GRP Investments Ltd., a newly-formed company. In 2014, concerns were raised about the building's use by squatters. The same year, it was added to Historic England's "Heritage at Risk Register". On 19 April 2024, the empty building was badly damaged by fire. The fire was attended by twelve fire appliances, including a 32-metre turntable ladder, and about 80 firefighters. The following month Merton Council stepped in to make the building safe, due to lack of response from Phoenix Investments. Concerns were raised in December 2025 by Mitcham Cricket Green Community and Heritage, a local conservation group, that the building's condition was rapidly worsening, and that its collapse was possible. Architecture The three-storey building's entry on the National Heritage List for England notes its features as including a five-bay front built in the early to mid 18th century, using yellow brick with red dressings, with a wing built in the 16th or 17th century, featuring panelling from the same era. The front has a central doric porch and sash windows with glazing bars. The second and fourth windows of the upper floor are blind. Nearby Adjacent to the pub is Mitcham Cricket Club's pavilion, which is under the same ownership as the pub. Unusually, the pavilion and the club's ground are separated by a road. References
Deptford Town Hall

Deptford Town Hall is a municipal building in New Cross Road, Deptford, London. It is a Grade II* listed building and is currently owned and operated by Goldsmiths College. In 1966 the architectural critic Ian Nairn described it as 'The jolliest public building in London'. History The building was commissioned to replace the aging vestry hall of St Paul's. The site selected had previously been occupied by a row of residential properties with public baths behind. The new building was designed by Henry Vaughan Lanchester, James Stewart and Edwin Alfred Rickards in the Baroque style and built by Holloway Brothers; it was officially opened by the mayor, Councillor Joseph Pyne, on 19 July 1905. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with seven bays facing onto New Cross Road; the central section featured a round arched doorway flanked by figures of Tritons as corbels on the ground floor; there was an oriel window on the first floor with a carved relief of a ship's prow and a pediment containing a tympanum depicting a naval battle above that. Statues of four naval figures, Sir Francis Drake, Robert Blake, Horatio Nelson and an unnamed contemporary admiral, were designed by Henry Poole, and erected on the front of the building at first floor level. A clock tower with a weather vane in the shape of a galleon was erected at roof level. Internally, the principal rooms were the council chamber and the mayor's chamber on the first floor. During the First World War, the town hall was infamous for holding all its trials of conscientious objectors in secret. This controversial practice was more recently explored in the film, Devils on Horseback, released in 2018. In the bombing of the Second World War, a V-2 rocket destroyed a Woolworths store on the opposite side of the street killing 160 people in the shop with the blast superficially damaging the town hall itself. The building was established as the headquarters of the Metropolitan Borough of Deptford but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged London Borough of Lewisham was formed in 1965. It was used as a workspace for some council departments until it was acquired by Goldsmiths College in 2000. In 2019 there were calls from student campaign groups to remove the naval figure statues due to their connections with colonialism and the Atlantic slave trade. However in June 2022 following a consultation, Goldsmiths announced that the statues would be retained with the addition of plaques explaining their history. The building was listed at Grade II in 1950 and upgraded to Grade II* in 2024. References External links Media related to Deptford Town Hall at Wikimedia Commons
Pishill Church

Pishill Church is a Grade II listed Church of England parish church in the village of Pishill, Oxfordshire. It is unusual in that is has no known dedication. History Situated on a hilltop overlooking the Stonor Valley and Hamlet of Pishill, a church was first recorded on the site when its benefice was granted to Dorchester Abbey in 1146. Its foundation was most likely Norman, but could be older. Unusually for a Church of England parish church, it does not appear ever to have carried a dedication. Little outward evidence of the pre-Victorian church remains beyond the baptismal font, which incorporates was is seemingly part of a recycled 14th-century pier. The building was enlarged and remodelled in 1854 by an unidentified builder, probably under the direction of the incumbent vicar, Reverend Benjamin Corrie Ruck-Keene, who funded the work personally. Some heavily modified medieval construction does remain, suggesting that what is now the north transept previously served as a single-aisle nave. Architecture The 1854 rebuild added a new nave at right angles to the earlier structure, narrowing into a newchancel beneath a pointed chancel arch. This created an unconventional T-shaped plan quite unlike the Gothic Revival model so widely implemented elsewhere. The nave retains its Victorian box pews that extend around into what became a single north transept, with a wooden pulpit at the junction. Matching choir stalls were also installed in the chancel. The Opus sectile altar screen showing the Lamb of God is by James Powell and Sons and was installed in 1871. The same firm also made the triple-lancet east window with the Crucifixion at the centre, and a Last Supper window in the south chancel. A window depicting the Parable of the Good Samaritan is by Cox & Sons, 1874. A 1925 window depicting St Cecilia and St Peter by Arthur Dix is in the nave. In the chancel is John Piper's 1967 Sword and Gospel lancet window, manufactured by Patrick Reyntiens. The most modern window, which depicts a cross and words from the prayer God be in my head, was designed by Jane Gray and installed in the transept in 1985. Gallery References
The Crown Inn, Pishill

The Crown Inn was a pub in the south Oxfordshire village of Pishill near Henley-on-Thames. It dates from the 17th century. It is located on Stonor Road in Pishill. It has been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since December 1985. The pub largely dates from the 17th and 18th-century. The thatched barn to the north-west of the pub and the stables to the south-west are also individually Grade II listed. The pub has been included in The Good Beer Guide, edited by Roger Protz. The 2012 entry for The Crown described its history as featuring "smuggling, murder, religious conflict, seductive wenches and a ghost". In 1830 it was put up for sale at auction with several other freehold pubs through Henry Haines acting for Peel Brothers of Watlington. The Crown Inn was the site of gatherings of the 'Henley Music Mafia', a loose group of rock musicians who lived in and around the Henley-on-Thames area. Members of the group included Joe Brown, Dave Edmunds, Herbie Flowers, George Harrison, Alvin Lee, Jon Lord, Mike Moran, Gary Moore, Mick Ralphs, and Larry Smith. They would occasionally play unannounced at the pub in the 1980s and 1990s, dubbing themselves the 'Pishill Artists'. The pub has been closed since the COVID-19 lockdown in the United Kingdom in March 2020. In 2021 it was put up for sale for £850,000 along with its barn and a self-contained two-bedroom cottage. It was bought by Pablo Diablo's Legitimate Business Firm Ltd, a company owned by the entertainer and activist Russell Brand. The Crown Inn has not reopened as a pub under his ownership and Brand has plans to convert the garage of the pub into a recording studio. Metal fences with a hessian covering were erected around the pub following the broadcast of accusations of sexual assault and rape against Brand in an episode of Dispatches on Channel 4 and an investigation in The Sunday Times in September 2023. South Oxfordshire District Council subsequently announced an investigation into the unauthorised fencing. References External links The Crown Inn website in 2018

Hadleigh Town Hall

Hadleigh Town Hall, also referred to as the New Town Hall, is a municipal building in the Market Place in Hadleigh, Suffolk, England. The building, which is the meeting place of Hadleigh Town Council, is a Grade II listed building. History The first municipal building in the town was an ancient timber framed market hall which was re-built in around 1438. The market hall was complemented by guild halls, which were commissioned by the local guilds and completed in the late-15th century. After the dissolution of the monasteries in 1536, the guild halls were seized by the crown, sold into private ownership and used for public events: this part of the complex eventually became known as the "Old Town Hall". In the mid-19th century, civic leaders decided to commission a more substantial municipal building and the southern end of the guild hall structure was demolished to make way for the new building. Funding for the new structure was raised by public subscription. It was designed by William Parkes Ribbans of Ipswich, built in buff brick (for the ground floor) and red brick (for the first floor) with stone dressings at a cost of £840 and was opened as the "New Town Hall" in 1851. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto the Market Place; the central bay was fenestrated by a casement window on the ground floor, and by a Venetian window with an architrave and a keystone on the first floor. The bays flanking the central bay were fenestrated by casement windows on the ground floor and by round headed windows with architraves and keystones on the first floor. The outer bays contained round headed doorways with voussoirs. The central and outer bays were enhanced by ashlar quoins, and the Hadleigh coat of arms, carved in stone, was erected below the Venetian window. At roof level, there was a modillioned cornice. Internally, the principal room in the New Town Hall was the Grand Hall on the first floor. The ground floor area contained space for the horse-drawn fire engine, a caretaker's flat and an office which was let to a local solicitor. Following significant population growth, largely associated with the status of Hadleigh as a market town, the area became an urban district in 1894. The new council established its offices at Toppesfield Hall, a short distance to the south west of the New Town Hall. County court hearings were held in the Grand Hall in the 19th century and it continued to be used for civic events, balls and concerts into the 20th century. Following local government re-organisation in 1974, the Grand Hall became the meeting place of Hadleigh Town Council. Meanwhile, the ground floor of the New Town Hall was fitted out as a dining room. Following completion of a major programme of refurbishment works, which included the installation of a stairlift, the New Town Hall was reopened by the Lord Lieutenant of Suffolk, Sir Joshua Rowley, 7th Baronet, in 1991.
