Moot Hall, Newcastle upon Tyne

The Moot Hall is a former courthouse at Castle Garth in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. The structure, which overlooks the Tyne Bridge, is a Grade I listed building. History The building was commissioned as a courthouse to replace the facilities at the Castle which were used for holding assizes and which had been condemned for their inconvenience and unhealthiness. The site selected had formed part of Pons Aelius in Roman times and two copper coins from the time of the Emperor Antoninus Pius and two Roman altars were found during preparatory work on site. The foundation stone for the new building was laid by Earl Percy on 22 July 1810. It was designed by John Stokoe in the Greek Revival style and completed in August 1812. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of eleven bays facing north west with the end bays slightly projected forwards; the central section of three bays featured an tetrastyle portico with Doric order columns supporting a pediment. Internally, the principal rooms were the Grand Jury room (straight ahead from the entrance), the nisi prius court (on the left) and the crown court (on the right). A significant number of cells for prisoners were created in the basement. Alterations were carried out to a design by William Crozier, Durham County Architect, in 1877. The building continued to be used as the county facility for dispensing justice but, following the implementation of the Local Government Act 1888, which established county councils in every county, the building was also used as a meeting place for Northumberland County Council until it moved to County Hall in 1910. An inquiry in to the loss of SS Ina Mactavish was held at the Moot Hall in December 1907 and February 1908. The trial of the then 11 year old Mary Bell for the murder of two young boys took place at Newcastle Assizes in 1968. Other notorious court cases held at the Moot Hall included the trial of Robert Black for the murder of four young girls committed between 1981 and 1986 and the trial of Albert Dryden for the murder of Harry Collinson in June 1991. The Moot Hall heard all Crown Court cases before the new combined court complex was completed on the Quayside in 1990. Post court use After becoming licensed as a venue for civil weddings, the Moot Hall hosted its first civil wedding in September 2005. In March 2019 Her Majesty's Courts Service decided that the building was surplus to requirements and instructed estate agents Avison Young to market it for sale. It was announced in October 2019 that the building had been acquired by the property business, Gainford Group, which also owned the Vermont Hotel, located immediately to the north of the Moot Hall. As of April 2026, Courts 1 and 2 at the Moot Hall were once again being used to hear Crown Court cases as an over-spill from new combined court complex. References

Croyland Abbey

Croyland Abbey, de Abdij van Croyland, is een parochiekerk van de Anglicaanse Kerk in Crowland in het Engelse Lincolnshire. Het gebouw is een voormalige abdij, waarvan het grootste deel in de loop der tijd tot een ruïne vervallen is. Geschiedenis De abdij werd in de 8e eeuw gebouwd op initiatief van Æthelbald van Mercia, die daarmee een belofte inwilligde, die hij aan Sint Guthlac –die zich op deze plaats als kluizenaar had teruggetrokken- had gedaan, toen die voorspeld had dat Æthelbald koning zou worden. De abdij werd opgedragen aan de Maagd Maria, Sint Bartolomeüs en Sint Guthlac, en kwam vanaf de 10e eeuw onder gezag van de Benedictijnen. Het gebouw kende een roerige geschiedenis. Al in 866 werd het gebouw verwoest door de Denen. Na de herbouw werd het in 1091 door een brand verwoest, herbouwd en in 1170 weer getroffen door een brand. De abdij is bekend geworden door de Croyland Chronicle, een (soms onbetrouwbare) geschiedschrijving over het Engeland in de Middeleeuwen. Ondanks wanhopige verzoeken van de abt van het klooster aan Oliver Cromwell werd de abdij in 1539 opgeheven (Dissolution of the Monasteries). De huidige abdij herbergt een reliek: geïdentificeerd als de schedel van de 9e-eeuwse abt, Theodore die aan het altaar werd gedood door de Vikings. De reliek was te bezichtigen door het publiek, tot het werd gestolen in 1982. De schedel werd anoniem teruggebracht in 1999. John Clare schreef een sonnet onder de titel 'Crowland Abbey' gepubliceerd in The Literary Souvenir voor 1828 en herdrukt in zijn laatste boek, The Rural Muse in 1835.

The Hitching Stone

The Hitching Stone is a gritstone erratic block on Keighley Moor, North Yorkshire, near Earl Crag and the village of Cowling. It is very close to the border between North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire and the border between Yorkshire and Lancashire. It is said to be the largest boulder in Yorkshire at 29 feet (8.8 metres) long, 25 feet (7.6 metres) wide and 21 feet (6.4 metres) high. It is also said to weigh a lot more than 1000 tonnes. Geography The Hitching Stone is five miles (eight kilometres) from the town of Keighley and is at an elevation of 1,200 feet (370 metres). History The Hitching Stone and all the other erratic boulders on Keighley Moor were put in place thousands to possibly millions of years ago during the Pleistocene Epoch. The Hitching Stone most likely originally came from Earl Crag during this time. As a result of the fact that The Hitching Stone lies at the borders of historic counties, ancient councils and parliaments met at the stone and markets, fairs, and other gatherings were also held at the stone, with the last fair being held in 1870. Features On the southern side of the boulder a large bath-like recess is found, that fills with rain water. A large recess in the western side of the stone is still known today as the Priests Chair. There is some speculation that the stone was used for religious rituals. Gallery See also List of individual rocks Lund’s Tower Wainman’s Pinnacle References Further reading T.

Brockhole

The Brockhole Lake District Visitor Centre, also known as the Brockhole National Park Visitor Centre, is a visitor centre and tourist attraction managed by the Lake District National Park Authority. It is situated on the shore of Lake Windermere, roughly equidistant between the towns of Bowness-on-Windermere and Ambleside. It includes the Brockhole house and 30 acres (12 ha) of grounds, including 10 acres (4.0 ha) of formal gardens and an adventure playground. The centre organises a number of activities, including orienteering, kayaking and open water swimming, as well as regular exhibitions. In March 2025, The Visitor Centre and Cafe was permanently closed by the National Park Authority, although the grounds remain open. Entrance to the grounds is free of charge, although a charge is made for car parking. History The site that is now the visitor centre was bought in 1896 by William Gaddum, a silk merchant from Manchester, to build a summer house. He had the house built the following year, to a design by the architect Dan Gibson. The gardens were created by Thomas Mawson. Mawson, who is known for his work in the design of gardens during the Arts and Crafts movement, had previously collaborated with Gibson at Graythwaite Hall. Beatrix Potter was a frequent visitor to the house, and makes reference to it in her Journals. In 1946 William Gaddum died and the house was sold. In 1948 the house was converted into a convalescent home. The Lake District National Park Authority purchased the property in 1966, and in 1969 it was opened as the UK's first National Park Visitor Centre. Transport links The centre is situated off the A591 road between Windermere and Ambleside. Stagecoach bus routes 555 (Lancaster to Keswick) and 599 (Bowness-on-Windermere to Grasmere) stop outside the centre. Both these routes also serve Windermere railway station. In the grounds of the centre is a jetty served by a number of boat services provided by Windermere Lake Cruises between March and October. A passenger launch service runs from Ambleside, returning to Ambleside via Wray Castle on the opposite side of the lake. A second launch service runs from Bowness-on-Windermere, returning to Bowness via Ambleside. A third service, known as the Bike Boat and operated with a boat adapted to carry cycles, shuttles across the lake to and from Bark Barn in Claife.

Free Church, Hampstead Garden Suburb

The Free Church is a building located in Hampstead Garden Suburb, Barnet, London. It was built to a design by Sir Edwin Lutyens starting in 1911, and, like St Jude's Church at the opposite side of Central Square, is a Grade I listed building. History Initially, Christians in Hampstead Garden Suburb congregated together, but it was decided in 1909 to organise the Church of England and Free Church meetings separately. The Free Church first met, before the existence of the building, in 1909 and was officially founded in 1910. Construction of the Free Church building was begun on 16 January 1911. It opened for worship on 25 October that year, though its West end was not completed until the 1960s. It was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the consultant architect for the Central Square of Hampstead Garden Suburb from 1906. He had influence on the design of the whole square, including both churches. Architecture The church has a low concrete dome, by contrast to the spire of St Jude's. The interior features Tuscan columns with brick plinths, and a barrel vault. The interior is in pastel colours. The church has two war memorial panels designed by Percy Delf Smith.
