Fowley Island

Fowley Island is a small uninhabited island in Chichester Harbour, around 900 metres south of the coast at Emsworth between Hayling Island and Thorney Island. The island is an area of raised ground approximately 180 metres by 80 metres amid the tidal sands between the channels of Sweare Deep and Emsworth Channel. The island has appeared on maps since at least 1791 when it featured on Milne's map of the area. Fisherman's Walk Fisherman's Walk is a causeway that runs along the sands from the coast at Emsworth around 340 metres to Fowley Rithe, a narrow channel that runs 200 metres to the north east of Fowley Island. The causeway was depicted on a chart of 1848 but was absent in an earlier 1826 map, suggesting that it was constructed between those dates. In the Ordnance Survey map of 1866 it is labelled 'Westwood's Road'. The causeway is believed to have been created to support oyster farming, though the first historical record of this dates from only 1885 when the Fowley Island Oyster Company began. Although the causeway does not reach Fowley Island, and no historical maps show it doing so, it may still have been possible to walk from the causeway to the island on the eel grass that once filled the water bed. The reduction in eel grass over the last century means that such a crossing is no longer possible. Fishermen would have taken a horse and cart across the causeway to Fowley Island and stored oysters in large ponds that they had dug there before taking them back for sale. The Ordnance Survey map of 1898 shows two such oyster beds on Fowley Island, activity which has resulted in the island's distinctive present shape. The effort required to create a causeway of this size shows the commercial importance of the oyster industry to Emsworth. The industry took a serious hit in 1902 after William Stephens, the Dean of Winchester, and several other diners died from typhoid after a dinner at which Emsworth oysters were served. An investigation blamed sewage contamination of the oyster beds and Emsworth oyster sales were banned until 1914. The industry restarted after the First World War but never recovered its former success. Other uses for the causeway have included salterns (evaporation pools used for harvesting salt) along its western side, as shown on the Ordnance Survey map of 1952, and the eastern side formerly supported poles probably for securing boats.

Old Market Street drill hall

The Old Market Street drill hall is a former military installation in the Old Market district of Bristol. History The building, which is located on the site of a former sugar warehouse and refinery, was financed by George and Henry Wills as part of arrangements to provide alternative accommodation for organisations displaced by the construction of the Wills Memorial Building. The new drill hall was designed as the headquarters of the 4th (City of Bristol) Battalion, The Gloucestershire Regiment, who had relocated from the Queen's Road drill hall in Clifton (since demolished), in June 1915. The 4th battalion was converted into a searchlight battalion in 1938 and transferred to the Royal Artillery (as 66th (Gloucesters) Searchlight Regiment, Royal Artillery) in 1940. It was headquartered at Badminton School, Westbury-on-Trym, for much of World War II and the drill hall was used instead to accommodate US Army troops. These troops created some adverse publicity for themselves when they became involved in a serious brawl in the street outside the drill hall in July 1944. After the war the drill hall was decommissioned and fell into disrepair; it has since been converted for residential use. References
Goffs-Churchgate Academy

Goffs-Churchgate Academy is a secondary school with academy status located in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, England with around 600 students. History Cheshunt Grammar School was built in 1935 in Windmill Lane. Over the years many newer buildings were added around the original building. In 1988 the County Council closed the nearby Bishopslea School in College Road, and distributed the pupils around the other local schools, although Cheshunt Grammar School took most of the pupils and some teachers. In 1990, it was decided to move the entire school to the old Bishopslea School site in College Road. The new school was called Cheshunt School and opened in September 1992. The old Grammar School was demolished and became a housing estate, despite the County Council's explicit prior assurances during a consultation period with local residents that the site would not be used for housing and that it would instead be put to use for the local community, before the school was closed, with street names reflecting the names of past people at the school. Until 2005, the old outdoor pool remained disused and undeveloped, but has since been turned into flats. The school was previously known as Cheshunt School up until 2017 when it merged with Goffs School.

Chapel of St Leonard, Tivington

The Anglican Chapel of St Leonard in Tivington, Somerset, England was built in the mid 14th century as a chapel of ease. It is a Grade II* listed building. History The chapel was built in the 14th century. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries it was secularised and a fireplace installed at the east end. That part of the building is now the cottage "Dunkery View" which is owned by the National Trust. The chapel was restored in 1896 and was reconsecrated in 1940, having previously been used as a school. The restoration work was funded by the Acland baronets who were the local Lords of the manor. The bell above the entrance door is believed to have come from their yacht Lady of St Kilda The chapel is within the parish of Selworthy which is part of the Porlock and Porlock Weir with Stoke Pero, Selworthy and Luccombe benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells. Architecture The seven bay building is of red sandstone with a thatched roof. The interior furniture including the reading desk and pews were brought in from other local churches. References

Magnis

Magnis, anche nota come Forte romano di Carvoran, era un castrum (forte) romano lungo il Vallo di Adriano, tra il castrum di Aesica a oriente e quello di Banna a occidente. Fu costruito originariamente per controllare la congiunzione della strada romana nota col nome moderno di Maiden Way, che da Magnis andava ad Epiacum per poi spingersi a sud fino a Kirkby Thore (vicino a Penrith), con la Stanegate, la direttrice di approvvigionamento principale che congiungeva Coria (Corbridge) a est con Luguvalium (Carlisle) ad ovest; fu dunque edificato prima del Vallo di Adriano. Le sue rovine si trovano a Carvoran, nei pressi di Greenhead (Northumberland). Guarnigione Nel II secolo il forte fu occupato dalla cohors I Hamiorum sagittariorum. La Notitia dignitatum e un'iscrizione non datata attestano la presenza nel forte della cohors II Delmatarum equitata, un'unità mista di fanteria e cavalleria, probabilmente nel III secolo. Due iscrizioni attestano la presenza della cohors I Batavorum equitata, forse la guarnigione originale del forte.

Magnis (Carvoran)

Magnis (Engels: Carvoran) was een Romeins fort aan de Muur van Hadrianus nabij Carvoran, Northumberland, Engeland. Het lag tussen de forten van Banna (Birdoswald) in het westen en Aesica (Great Chesters) in het oosten. Via de Stanegate Road, een Romeinse weg naar het oosten, was het verbonden met het fort Vindolanda. Al ten tijde van keizer Trajanus, voor de bouw van de muur, werd er een garnizoen gevestigd in Carvoran. Onder Hadrianus was het Cohors I Hamiorum sagittariorum (Hamiaanse boogschutters) in Magnis gevestigd. Zij verlieten het fort toen de Muur van Antoninus in het noorden werd gebouwd, maar ze keerden naar Magnis terug onder keizer Marcus Aurelius. In de derde eeuw werd het Cohors II Delmatarum eq. (infanterie en cavalerie) in het fort gehuisvest. In Carvoran is er een Roman Army Museum. Galerij
Maia (castrum)

Maia o Mais è stato un castrum romano lungo il Vallo di Adriano; situato ove sorge la moderna Bowness-on-Solway, in Cumbria, era il forte più occidentale del Vallo, a ovest di Coggabata. La Notitia dignitatum non menziona tale forte, che però è citato come «Maia» dalla Cosmografia ravennate e come «Mais» dalla coppa di Rudge e dalla Patera di Staffordshire Moorlands. Si ritiene che il nome del forte fosse Maia, «la più grande», in quanto si tratta del secondo più grande forte sul Vallo; esiste però la possibilità che fosse dedicato alla dea Maia. Struttura Il castrum sorge su di una ripida scogliera marina di 15 m circa, e domina dall'alto tutto il territorio circostante. Il nome moderno, Bowness, significa «promontorio rotondo», e testimonia la vantaggiosa posizione del forte, costruito sul sito dell'ottantesimo castello militare. Il forte fu originariamente costruito con un bastione in torba e argilla, simile al Vallo in torba che sorgeva nell'area, ma quando il Vallo fu ricostruito in pietra, anche il forte fu rifatto in pietra. Si ritiene che il forte misurasse 220 m per 130 m, per circa tre ettari; si trattava del secondo forte più grande del Vallo dopo Petriana. Il Vallo proveniva da oriente e si congiungeva al forte in corrispondenza dell'angolo nord-orientale, per proseguire in direzione sconosciuta; secondo alcune testimonianze locali, una grande quantità di pietre furono estratte dalla spiaggia, suggerendo che il Vallo proseguisse fino al livello della bassa marea, come avveniva a Segedunum, all'estremità orientale del Vallo. Col passare degli anni, il fronte della scogliera è stato eroso, e il muro settentrionale del forte collassò nel mare. Il forte aveva tre porte, a oriente, a occidente e a meridione; non vi era necessità di una porta settentrionale in quanto il muro settentrionale sorgeva in corrispondenza della scogliera. Un vicus (insediamento civile) sorgeva a meridione del forte, lungo la strada per Kirkbride e fu occupato fino al IV secolo inoltrato. Guarnigione La guarnigione presente nel forte non è nota, ma nel III secolo il suo comandante era un tribuno, e ciò suggerisce che fosse una coorte di fanteria (forse parzialmente montata) di mille uomini, identificata da alcuni con la cohors I Hispanorum. Scavi Gli scavi del 1930 portarono alla luce il bastione meridionale e la porta occidentale; il bastione occidentale fu scoperto grazie a scavi effettuati nel 1967. Ulteriori e più accurati scavi furono effettuati nel 1973, col ritrovamento di tracce del bastione occidentale originale in torba e argilla e di una porta-torre in legno. Note Bibliografia J.

Mais (Bowness)

Mais (ook Maia, Engels: Bowness) was een Romeins fort aan de Muur van Hadrianus. Het was het meest westelijke fort van de muur en lag op een klif boven Solway Firth. Het fort had een rechthoekig grondplan met afgerond hoeken. Net zoals de eerste 31 Romeinse mijlen (46 km) van de muur in het westen, was het fort oorspronkelijk opgetrokken uit plaggen, hout en aarde. Zoals deze muur werd het fort later herbouwd in steen. Ten westen van Bowness-on-Solway, langs de kust van Cumbria, was er over 32 km nog een verdedigingslinie bestaande uit stenen wachttoren en kleine versterkingen uit hout, zand en plaggen. Maar de doorlopende muur en de greppel achter de muur (vallum) stopten aan fort Mais. Er is weinig bekend over de eenheden die gelegerd waren in Mais. Vermoedelijk was dit een cohors milliaria (cohort op dubbele sterkte), en mogelijk in de 2e eeuw met een deel cavalerie. Sinds de Romeinse tijd is de noordelijke muur van het fort in zee gestort. Dus is het niet geweten of het fort naast een westelijke, zuidelijke en oostelijke poort, ook een noordelijke poort bezat. Galerij

Gadfield Elm Chapel

The Gadfield Elm Chapel near the village of Pendock in Worcestershire, England, is the oldest surviving chapel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). History The structure was built in 1836 as a religious meeting house by the United Brethren, a group of breakaway Primitive Methodists led by Thomas Kington. In 1840 Latter Day Saint missionary and apostle Wilford Woodruff preached among the United Brethren; ultimately all but one of the 600 members converted to Mormonism. After the conversions, the structure was deeded to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints by Kington and John Benbow. As a chapel of the early Latter Day Saint movement, the building was a centre of activity for the church in the Malvern Hills area. Several regional conferences of the church were held in the chapel, and Brigham Young, who at the time was President of the Quorum of the Twelve, spoke there at least once. The chapel was sold by the church in 1842 to help fund the emigration of British Latter Day Saints to America. The building was privately owned until it was purchased in 1994 by the Gadfield Elm Trust, a group of LDS Church members interested in preserving the chapel. The Trust renovated and restored the chapel, and it was dedicated by the church apostle Jeffrey R. Holland on 23 April 2000. In 2004 the Trust donated ownership of the chapel to the LDS Church, and it was rededicated by church president Gordon B. Hinckley on 26 May 2004. The chapel is operated as a historical tourist site by the church and admission to the public is free.

Menabilly

Menabilly è un promontorio situato a 2 km da Fowey, sulla costa sud-orientale della Cornovaglia, Inghilterra, Regno Unito. Riferimenti letterari Letteratura medievale Vi si può ammirare la colonna di circa due metri sulla quale si trova l'iscrizione in caratteri latini del VI secolo "Drustans hic iacet Cunumori filius", ossia "Qui giace Tristano figlio di Quonimorius". La colonna testimonia la fama, legata anche a questi luoghi, del mito di Tristano e Isotta, uno dei più amati dalla letteratura medievale. Letteratura contemporanea A Menabilly si trova l'omonima casa elisabettiana del XVI secolo, nella quale visse per oltre vent'anni la scrittrice Daphne Du Maurier (1907-1989). Aveva trascorso l'infanzia a Fowey ed aveva ambientato in questi luoghi il suo libro Rebecca, la prima moglie, scritto nel 1938, da cui Alfred Hitchcock nel 1940 trasse l'omonimo film. Nell'età adulta affittò, abitandola dal 1943 al 1964, la casa di proprietà della nobile famiglia Rashleigh, circondata da un bosco, realizzando il suo sogno di vivere, al pari della protagonista del suo romanzo, in un castello come quello di Manderley, creato dalla sua fantasia. Lettere da Menabilly è il titolo di una raccolta di lettere della scrittrice indirizzate al giovane scrittore Oriel Malet, pseudonimo di Auriel Malet Vaughan, conosciuto ad un party a Londra. La corrispondenza copre l'arco di un trentennio ed è stata pubblicata a cura dello scrittore e con il suo commento.
