Millom Castle

Millom Castle is an ancient building at Millom in Cumbria. It is a Grade I listed building and scheduled ancient monument. History A manor on the site was granted to Godard de Boyvill, owner of the Manor of Millom, in around 1134. The manor came into the Hudleston family's ownership in around 1240 when de Boyvill's granddaughter married into the Hudleston family. John Hudleston was given a licence to crenellate in 1335. The great tower dates from the 16th or perhaps 17th century. The Hudlestones took an active part in England's regional warfare. In the Wars of the Roses, Sir John Hudlestone fought on the Yorkist side, being present at the Battle of Blore Heath in 1459, and also the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. In 1460 Millom Castle was captured by Lancastrian forces. After the accession of Henry VII, Sir John and his son Henry secured a pardon and retained the estate. In the English Civil War of the 1600s, Sir William Hudlestone was a leading Royalist colonel in Cumberland and Lancashire. He was defeated by Parliamentarian forces, and Millom Castle damaged by cannon fire in 1644. Heavy fines exacted by victorious Parliament began the slide of the Hudlestons into debt. By 1739 the castle walls were in dilapidated condition. In 1748, Elizabeth Huddleston sold the castle to Sir James Lowther of Whitehaven. The gatepiers were added in the 17th or 18th century. The great tower is now used as a farmhouse. A 3D explorable scan of the castle that includes parts of the castle off limits to the public due to safety restrictions has been produced. The Millom & District Local History Society has written papers on the Castle and on an Archaeological Survey completed in 2024. Architecture The stone building has ashlar dressings and slate roofs. The east side has a gatehouse and 17th-century steps. The west side has a pointed entrance. Various barns and outhouses have been attached to the north and west sides. It has the remains of a moat to the north and west. See also Grade I listed buildings in Cumbria Listed buildings in Millom References
Castelo de Millom

O Castelo de Millom é uma construção antiga localizada em Millom, Cúmbria. É um edifício antigo classificado como de "grau I" e também um monumento tombado. História A propriedade local foi concedida a Godard de Boyvill, dono do Solar de Millom, por volta de 1134. A propriedade passou para o patrimônio da família Hudleston por volta de 1240, quando a neta de de Boyvill se casou com um membro da família Hudleston. John Hudleston recebeu uma licença para ameiar em 1335. A grande torre data do século XVI ou, possivelmente, do século XVII. Os Hudlestones tomaram parte ativa nas guerras regionais da Inglaterra. Na Guerra das Rosas, Sir John Hudlestone lutou pelo lado Yorkista, estando presente na Batalha de Blore Heath em 1459 e também na Batalha de Bosworth Field em 1485. Em 1460, o Castelo de Millom foi capturado por forças lancastrianas. Após a ascensão de Henrique VII, Sir John e seu filho Henry garantiram o perdão e mantiveram a propriedade. Na Guerra Civil Inglesa do séc. XVII, Sir William Hudlestone foi um importante coronel realista, líder em Cumberland e Lancashire. Ele foi derrotado pelas forças parlamentares, e o Castelo Millom foi danificado por tiros de canhão em 1644. Pesadas multas impostas pelo Parlamento vitorioso deram início às dívidas dos Hudlestons. Em 1739, as muralhas do castelo estavam em ruínas. Em 1748, Elizabeth Huddleston vendeu o castelo para Sir James Lowther de Whitehaven. Os pilares do portão foram adicionados no século XVII ou XVIII. A grande torre é agora usada como casa de fazenda. Arquitetura A construção de pedra tem adornos de cantaria e telhados de ardósia. O lado leste possui um portão e degraus do século XVII. O lado oeste possui uma entrada pontiaguda. Vários celeiros e dependências foram anexados aos lados norte e oeste. Há remanescências de um fosso ao norte e oeste.

Old Pack Horse

The Old Pack Horse is a Grade II listed public house in a prominent position on the corner of Chiswick High Road and Acton Lane in Chiswick, London. Architecture The current structure was built in 1910 by the architect Nowell Parr, the house architect of Fuller, Smith & Turner, who ran the local brewery. It is a red brick structure of three storeys, with decorative terracotta and coloured tiles. It has remained unaltered since its construction. The building historian Nikolaus Pevsner writes that it has "plenty of jolly terracotta detail and bowed ground-floor windows". The English Heritage listing describes it as the "best preserved example of a public house by the Fuller, Smith and Turner house architect". History The first pub on this site, the "West Country Packhorse", was granted a licence in 1759. It was renamed as the "Lower Pack Horse" in 1790, and again to be the "Pack Horse" sometime before 1811. It was acquired by Fuller, Smith & Turner in 1808. The Friends of Turnham Green cited the overshadowing of the pub in their successful objection to the development of the whole of the adjacent part of Chiswick High Road and area behind it in 2015. In 2024, the pub was extensively refurbished, reopening on 4 April. References

Paper Hall

Paper Hall is a Grade II* listed building in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, noted for being the oldest domestic building in the city centre and for housing the city's first spinning machines. Its then owner James Garnett is credited with bringing the industrial revolution to Bradford, which became one of the manufacturing centres of Britain in the 19th century. Etymology The origins of the name Paper Hall are obscure, although it has been in use since at least 1756, when the Stansfield family occupied it. Possible suggestions are a link to Catholic worship as a corruption of "Papist Hall", that it was the first building in Bradford to have wallpapered walls or that paper was the main product of a nearby mill. History All accounts, including the building's blue plaque, suggest that the hall was built as a private house for William Rookes of Royds Hall in 1643. The original owner and the date are disputed by the geologist Herbert E. Wroot, who wrote in the Bradford Antiquary: The Journal of the Bradford Historical and Antiquarian Society (1900): "The Hall was built, as an inscribed date over the main doorway shows, in the year 1648 ... A tradition exists in the neighbourhood of the Hall that the last figure of this date was tampered with some years ago, in consequence of a wager; and curiously, the artist who in the early part of this century made the sketches reproduced here – with, transcribed the date as "1643." But the most careful examination of the stone with a magnifying glass, lends no support to the allegation that the last figure has been altered." Whether the original proprietor or not, William Rookes died in 1651, and the hall was then occupied by several different families, including Hugh Currer of Eldwick and the Weddells, a family of London lawyers. It has been suggested that the steep pediments over the windows to the right of the doorway were added circa 1700, which would have been under the Weddell's stewardship. In 1717 the Hall passed into the hands of the Stansfield family, a well known family in the area and later owners of Esholt Hall. Perhaps the hall's best known occupant was James Garnett, who acquired the hall in 1794 and lived there until his death in 1829. He is credited with bringing the industrial revolution to Bradford by installing a number of hand-worked spinning machines in the building's loft, very likely the first use in Bradford of Richard Arkwright's new invention. Sadly, by the mid-19th century, the hall had fallen into disrepair and was described in 1841 by the historian John James as in "a miserable state of dilapidation and neglect". It remained in that state until well into the twentieth century and was threatened with demolition in 1972. A Bradford University professor, Jimmy Ord-Smith, campaigned to have the building saved and initially raised funds by selling Christmas cards featuring an artist's impression of the refurbished hall. Work began in 1980 and was eventually completed in 1994 at a cost of £500,000. Today it is available for commercial use. References
Par signal box

Par signal box is a Grade II listed former Great Western Railway signal box, located on Par railway station in Cornwall, England. Opened in 1879 and built to the first GWR standard design, it was set up to control the GWR's mainline onwards to Penzance, together with the junction for the branch to Newquay. Located at the southern end of Platform 2, when first built it was less than half its current length, only containing 26 levers. In 1913, the frame was replaced, and a new frame of 57 levers was added. A panel has since been added to control the section through to St Austell and Burngullow as far west as the now closed Probus and Ladock railway station. Signals controlled from Par carry the identification code 'PR'. In July 2013, it was one of 26 "highly distinctive" signal boxes listed by Ed Vaizey, minister for the Department for Culture, Media and Sport in July 2013, in a joint initiative by English Heritage and Network Rail to preserve and provide a window into how railways were operated in the past. In January 2024, it was announced that a number of signal boxes in Cornwall, including Par, would be closed in Spring 2024, with signalling moved to Exeter. The signal box was decommissioned on 4 March 2024. References
Pensford Viaduct

Pensford Viaduct is a disused railway bridge in the village of Pensford, within the historic English county of Somerset, now unitary authority Bath and North East Somerset. It is a Grade II listed building. The viaduct was 330 yards long; the track has since been lifted but the arches still remain today. History The viaduct was built in 1874 to carry the Bristol and North Somerset Railway over the valley of the River Chew. The contractor was J. Perry, of Tredegar Works, Bow. During construction the bridge failed and had to be rebuilt. The last scheduled passenger train to cross the viaduct was the 9:25 a.m. from Frome to Bristol on 31 October 1959; after that there were only goods trains (mainly bringing coal from Radstock), which ceased in 1964, and very occasional excursion trains. It officially closed after the Chew Stoke flood of 1968 which damaged the viaduct and other buildings in Pensford and the wider Chew Valley. The viaduct was offered for sale for £1, in 1984; however, the likely maintenance costs were prohibitive and no one bought it. It became the property of BRB (Residuary) Ltd which took over some of the assets of the British Railways Board when it was privatised. In September 2013, BRB (Residuary) Ltd was abolished, with assets being transferred to the Highways Agency as part of the Historical Railways Estate. In 2014 a new microbrewery in Pensford known as the Chew Valley Brewery used a depiction of the viaduct as its logo. Architecture Construction is of stone piers and spandrels with red brick soffits. The viaduct is 995 feet (303 m) long, reaches a maximum height of 95 feet (29 m) to rail level and consists of sixteen arches. The arches are of different widths and heights and supported by tall, tapering piers in the centre and thicker shorter ones towards the sides. Arches 5 and 13 are lower than the others dividing the bridge into sections with four higher arches at each end. Subsequent repairs were made with concrete rather than stone, though it was dressed to look similar to the surrounding stone. Pensford railway station Pensford railway station served the village of Pensford, Somerset, England from 1873 to 1964 on the Bristol and North Somerset Railway, ceasing operations at the same time as the nearby viaduct. The station opened on 3 September 1873 by the Great Western Railway. It was situated on the Station Approach road. In 1898, the platforms were extended and a new signal box opened on the south end of the up platform. The principal traffic was coal and passengers. The track ran through the viaduct. The station closed to passengers on 2 November 1959 and to goods traffic on 15 June 1964. References External links

Raine's House

Raine's House, sometimes called Raine House, is a Grade II* listed house in Raine Street, Wapping, London E1. This listing recognises the building's special architectural or historic interest. History This structure was built in 1719, and founded as a charity school by Henry Raine (1679–1738), who had made a large sum of money from selling alcohol. As a devout Christian, he felt that he should be philanthropic, and decided to found a school where poor children could get a free education. This school was built in the neighbourhood where he lived and he named it "the Lower School". It originally accommodated 50 boys and 50 girls. In recent years, this building has been used as a community centre, and as offices of the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. The original school moved, and is now called the Raine's Foundation School, on Approach Road, Bethnal Green. Physical features The building has a baroque front, with giant pilasters. There is a stone plaque over the door, at the center of the building: "Come in & learn your duty to God & man. 1719". Two of the window openings on the second floor have pedimented niches. Those niches were originally occupied by two contemporary figures of a boy and a girl, but they and other original objects from the school were moved when the school moved, and they are still preserved. The niches are now filled by replicas.

Sandycombe Lodge

Sandycombe Lodge is a Grade II* listed house at 40 Sandycoombe Road, Twickenham, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. In the picturesque-cottage style, it was designed and built in 1813 by the artist J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851) as his country retreat and as a home for his father William (1745–1829). Turner lived there from 1814 to 1826. Originally known as Solus Lodge, it is the only surviving building designed by Turner, and shows the influence of his friend Sir John Soane. The appearance of the house had been much altered by the addition of second floors to the original side wings. When it was built, Twickenham was rural, as can be seen in the engraving Sandycombe Lodge, Twickenham, Villa of J. M. W. Turner (1814) that was engraved by W. B. Cooke after William Havell and is now held at Tate Britain. Since the sale of Sandycombe Lodge in 1826 by Turner, it has had several owners. The house was used as a factory to produce airmen's uniforms during the Second World War. The vibrations from the heavy machinery caused damage to the staircase and ceilings of the house. The house was bought by Professor Harold Livermore and his wife Ann in 1947, and they created the Sandycombe Lodge Trust (now Turner's House Trust) in 2005. After Livermore's death in 2010, the house was left to the Trust to be preserved as a monument to Turner. Many of the house's original features survived, but it needed major restoration work and redecoration. Turner's House Trust sought to raise funds to restore the house, remove Victorian additions and return it to its appearance in Turner's day. In January 2015 it was announced that the Trust was to receive a grant of £1.4 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund to enable this work to take place. The year-long renovation, costing £2.4 million, started in March 2016. The restoration of Turner's House is now complete and the house is open to the public; visitors can experience Turner's House as he lived in it, and learn the fascinating stories behind the conservation of this important historic house.
