Great Dixter

Great Dixter är ett hus i Northiam i East Sussex i England. Det uppfördes 1910–1912 av arkitekten Edwin Lutyens, som kombinerade ett befintligt hus från mitten av 1500-talet på platsen med en byggnad som flyttats från Benenden i Kent, samt med sina egna tillägg. Trädgården är ett välkänt exempel på utsökt trädgårdshantverk. Den ursprungliga byggnaden kallades bara Dixter och är från mitten av 1500-talet. Huset förvärvades av en affärsman vid namn Nathaniel Lloyd år 1909, som lät flytta dit ytterligare ett hus från 1500-talet i en liknande stil från Kent. De två byggnaderna kombinerades och tillbyggdes av Lutyens som därmed skapade ett betydligt större hus, som därefter kallats Great Dixter. Det är en romantisk efterbildning av en medeltida herrgård. Lloyd och Lutyens grundlade trädgården vid Great Dixter, men det var Lloyds son Christopher Lloyd, en välkänd trädgårdsförfattare och TV-personlighet, som gjorde den berömd. Trädgården är i Arts and Crafts-stil och har formklippta buskar, en vidsträckt rabatt, en fruktträdgård och en vild blomsteräng. Planteringarna är rikliga men ändå strukturerade och i trädgården har många djärva experiment med form och färg gjorts. Great Dixter leds för närvarande av Fergus Garrett, som var Lloyds chefsträdgårdsmästare fram till dennes död 2006. Förvaltning Huset och trädgården visas för allmänheten från slutet av mars till slutet av oktober varje år, medan handelsträdgården håller öppet året runt. År 2003 skapade Christopher Lloyd en stiftelse för att säkerställa att fastigheten bevarades efter hans död. Stiftelsens huvudsakliga syfte är att bedriva utbildning inom trädgårdsarbete. Ett antal stipendiater utbildas årligen i att sköta en komplicerad och komplex trädgård. Dessutom erbjuds ofta studiedagar, veckolånga symposier, workshops och föreläsningar.

Great Fen

The Great Fen is a habitat restoration project being undertaken on The Fens in the county of Cambridgeshire in England. It is one of the largest restoration projects in the country, and aims to create a 3,700 hectare wetland and aims to connect Woodwalton Fen National Nature Reserve (NNR), Holme Fen NNR and other nature reserves to create a larger site with conservation benefits for wildlife and socio-economic benefits for people. This is a long-term project managed in partnership by the Environment Agency, Huntingdonshire District Council, Middle Level Commissioners, Natural England and the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire (WTBCN). Woodwalton Fen, Holme Fen and Darlows Farm are managed by Natural England, while the WTBCN manages the Countryside Centre for educational and community work, together with Corney's Farm, New Decoy Farm, Old Decoy Farm, Engine Farm, Rymes Reedbeds (which has a bird hide), and Kesters Docking. Woodwalton Fen Woodwalton Fen is one of Britain's oldest nature reserves and occupies a substantial site of 208 ha north-east of Huntingdon. Its international importance has been repeatedly recognised in its designations as a Ramsar site, a Special Area of Conservation (SAC), a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a national nature reserve (NNR). Woodwalton is a key component of the Great Fen Project and features a variety of fen habitats. The result is an attractive reserve with an impressive list of rare plants and animals. Habitats include Purple Moor Grass meadows, tall fen and scrub communities, woodland, and other assemblages of grasses, sedges, herbs and mosses. Holme Fen Holme Fen is situated south of Peterborough, around 5 km north-west of Woodwalton Fen and on the south-western shore of the former Whittlesey Mere. The Fen occupies a crescent-shaped site approximately 2.5 km long by 1.5 km wide and has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Geological Conservation Review Site (GCR). Holme Fen is the largest Silver birch woodland in lowland Britain. More importantly it contains approximately 5 hectares of rare acid grassland and heath and a hectare of remnant raised bog, an echo of the habitat that would have dominated the area centuries ago. This is the most south-easterly bog of its type in Britain. Holme is a key component of the Great Fen Project for it approximately marks the south-western limit of Stage 2 of the Project plan. The reserve is open to the public throughout the year. Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire The fields of New Decoy Farm are being made wildlife friendly with new ditches and scrapes, and grazing cattle. Rymes Reedbeds is also being restored with new reedbeds on open water. Kesters Docking is being sown as species-poor grassland, and it will also have areas of open water and reedbeds.

Great Hall of the University of Leeds

The Great Hall is a grade II listed Gothic Revival building located at the University of Leeds in West Yorkshire, England. The building is primarily used for formal occasions such as graduation ceremonies and university students' examinations. Its undercroft was previously utilised to house the university library collections before the Brotherton Library opened in 1936. The Great Hall is one illustration of the many diverse styles of buildings on the campus of the University of Leeds; it is an example of red brick architecture associated with the term red brick university. History The Great Hall is built on a site of the former Beech Grove Hall Estate, which was purchased in 1879 by the then Yorkshire College before the college joined the now defunct Victoria University (alongside the forerunners of the Universities of Manchester and Liverpool). This estate was later demolished in 1884 for it to become the site of the Clothworkers buildings of the Baines Memorial Wing and the Great Hall building itself. The buildings were designed by the late architect Alfred Waterhouse R.A (famed for his works on the Natural History Museum in London) in red pressed brick and had dressings of Bolton Wood stone in a Gothic Collegiate style. This collegiate style used by Alfred Waterhouse helped to coin the term red brick university, a phrase first used by Edgar Allison Peers (under the pseudonym "Bruce Truscot"), a Spanish Professor at the University of Liverpool in his 1943 book Redbrick University when describing the Victoria Building, University of Liverpool. Since then, the six civic universities founded around 1900 independently use the term red brick university, these consist of the University of Birmingham, the University of Bristol, the University of Liverpool, the University of Leeds, the University of Manchester and the University of Sheffield. The Gothic style Great Hall incorporated the university's main library and cost around £22,000 to build which was raised partly by public appeal. It was originally used as the main University Library until the opening of the Brotherton Library in 1936 and other areas which opened in the same period such as the Parkinson Building. As well as being the location for the ceremonial occasions, it was also used for meetings, exams and public lectures. The Great Hall was opened in October 1894 by the Duke and Duchess of York. The panorama seen from the door of the Great Hall takes in nearly 150 years of university-related building. From the redbrick architecture of the early Clothworkers buildings to the Portland stone of the Michael Sadler arts building to the steel and glass of the Marjorie and Arnold Ziff Building. Leeds therefore takes its place as one of the largest and most diverse universities in the UK. The Great Hall is still used to this day for meetings, examinations and graduation ceremonies and is one of a small cluster of buildings on the University of Leeds campus exhibiting redbrick architecture traits associated with a select number of civic universities in the United Kingdom.

Great House Barn

Great House Barn is a 16th-century barn and Listed building in Rivington, Lancashire, England. Built as a tithe barn it is believed to be one of the oldest of its type in the county and is a Grade II listed building. History Built using cruck framing of oak, the original building is of, at the latest, 16th-century construction, but is likely to be older. Major changes were made to the building by Thomas Anderton, the owner in 1702. The west gable of the barn is dated 1702 but is possibly older and has the initials A TAR (Thomas, Alice, and Robert Anderton). By the early 20th century the Rivington Hall, farm and barns were owned by Lord Leverhulme and on his instructions the architect Jonathan Simpson made further substantial alterations to the barn. Architecturally, the barn is as Leverhulme had it restored, with the cruck beams infilled with sandstone block walls and a slate roof. The Tudor-style timber-framed porch and mullion windows are 20th-century additions During the Second World War the barn was used by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food as a food storage depot. The barn is owned by Salmons and is a cafe and forms part of an information centre about the Leverhulme estate. References Notes Bibliography
Great Malvern Priory

Die Great Malvern Priory in der westenglischen Stadt Great Malvern in der Grafschaft (county) Worcestershire ist eine ehemalige Prioratskirche und heutige anglikanische Pfarrkirche (Parish Church) der Stadt. Die das Patrozinium der Gottesmutter Maria (St Mary) und des Erzengels Michael (St Michael) tragende Kirche ist als Grade-I-Bauwerk eingestuft und gehört zum Major Churches Network. Lage Die etwa 65 km (Fahrtstrecke) südlich von Birmingham gelegene und ca. 35.000 Einwohner zählende Stadt Great Malvern ist heute Teil der Großgemeinde Malvern; die traditionsreiche Stadt Gloucester mit ihrer Kathedrale liegt ca. 35 km südlich. Die Great Malvern Priory steht inmitten der Altstadt. Geschichte Bereits in angelsächsischer Zeit gab es hier eine Mönchsgemeinde und eine kleine Kirche. Diese wurde im 11. Jahrhundert von Edward dem Bekenner (reg. 1042–1066) gefördert. Nach der normannischen Eroberung Englands integrierte der Hl. Wulfstan, Bischof von Worcester, das kleine Kloster und setzte einen Einsiedler namens Aldwyn als Prior ein. Im Jahr 1085 wurde mit dem Bau der heutigen Kirche begonnen. Um das Jahr 1120 übernahm Walcher von Malvern († 1035), gemäß seiner Grabinschrift ein „großer Philosoph und Astronom aus Lothringen“ (Philosophus bonus dignus Astrologus lotharingus), das Amt des Vorstehers des von der etwa 200 km südwestlich gelegenen Westminster Abbey in London abhängigen Priorats. In der Zeit der englischen Reformation unter Heinrich VIII. wurde das Priorat aufgelöst; die Kirche blieb jedoch als Pfarrkirche erhalten. Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde sie wiederholt restauriert. Architektur Die auf einem rechteckigen Grundriss erbaute dreischiffige Kirche hat nur einen Querhausarm und ist basilikal angelegt. Im Langhaus sind die normannischen Rundpfeiler der ersten Bauphase noch deutlich erkennbar, doch ist der heutige Gesamteindruck der aufgrund der zahlreichen Maßwerkfenster eher hell wirkenden Kirche spätgotisch. Mittelschiff und Seitenschiffe haben flache Holzdecken; das netzartig gestaltete Vierungsgewölbe besteht hingegen aus Stein. Höhepunkt ist das im 16. Jahrhundert geschaffene Chorfenster im Perpendicular Style. Ausstattung Das Chorfenster hat noch seine Verglasung aus dem 16. Jahrhundert; die übrigen Glasfenster stammen – bis auf das nördliche Querhausfenster (1501) – aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. Das Chorgestühl mit seinen Miserikordien ist nur zum Teil ein Werk des 15. Jahrhunderts. Die über 1000 Wandfliesen im Chorbereich stammen hingegen allesamt aus der Mitte des 15. Jahrhunderts.

Great Moreton Hall

Great Moreton Hall is a former country house in Moreton cum Alcumlow near Congleton, in Cheshire, England, less than a mile (1.6 km) from its better-known near namesake Little Moreton Hall. Designed by Edward Blore, it was built in 1841 by Manchester businessman George Holland Ackers, to replace a large timber-framed building that had been the home of the Bellot family since 1602. Great Moreton Hall is built in two storeys, interspersed with three and four-storey towers. The service wing to the left of and adjoining the main part of the building is slightly lower than the rest of the structure. The main entrance is via a broad flight of steps from a porte-cochère, leading to the entrance lobby and a large central hall. A triple arcade at one end of the hall leads to the main staircase, opposite a hooded fireplace decorated with the arms of the Ackers family. The Library, Drawing Room, Billiard Room, Saloon, and the Great Hall are arranged symmetrically around the central hall. "Dark narrow internal corridors" allowed the servants, whose quarters were in the cellars, to reach all the rooms without having to pass through the central hall. Great Moreton Hall was designated a Grade II* listed building on 14 February 1967. Since 1931 the house has served first as a school and then as a hotel and conference centre. Great Moreton Hall has been in private ownership since 1992.

Great Northern Warehouse

The Great Northern Warehouse is the former railway goods warehouse of the Great Northern Railway in Manchester city centre, England, which was refurbished into a leisure complex in 1999. The building is at the junction of Deansgate and Peter Street. It was granted Grade II* listed building status in 1974. The warehouse was built to be fireproof with a steel frame on a rectangular plan, 267 ft (81 m) long by 217 ft (66 m) wide and five storeys high, with 27 windows on the east and west sides and 17 windows on the north and south ends. All four sides have friezes lettered in white brick reading "Great Northern Railway Company's Goods Warehouse". It was built above the Manchester and Salford Junction Canal, and a dock was constructed beneath to allow goods to be transferred to and from canal barges via shafts and a complex system of haulage using hydraulic power. The building could hold a total of 150 goods wagons across two of its levels, with capacity for a further 500 in its sidings. Its construction effectively wiped out the district of Alport Town, which had included 300 houses, and "Over 800 men were employed on the site. 25 million bricks, 50,000 tons of concrete, 12,000 tons of mild steel and 65 miles of rivets were used in its construction". According to Historic England, the warehouse is a "unique survival of a three-way railway goods exchange station, serving the railway, canal and road networks of the Manchester region." As of February 2023, the development includes an Odeon Cinema, casino, restaurants, bars, bowling alley, gym, and a multi-storey car park. Future redevelopment In November 2022, Trilogy Real Estate and Hong Kong–based Peterson Group brought forward updated plans for a mixed-use redevelopment of the site, featuring 746 homes across three buildings – including a 34-storey tower and a 27-storey tower. Applications for planning permission and listed building consent were made to Manchester City Council. Trilogy's plans, designed by SimpsonHaugh Architects, seeks the partial demolition of a 1990s extension to the warehouse, which currently houses an Odeon cinema, an NCP car park, and a gym. The upper floors of the Great Northern Warehouse will be refurbished into offices. Trilogy worked with landscape architect Planit-IE on plans to revamp the square that fronts the warehouse. It was reported in February 2023 that planning approval for the redevelopment had been obtained.
