Affiliated to the Gloucestershire County FA, they are currently members of the Hellenic League Premier Division and play at the Hallen Centre. History The club was established in Lawrence Weston in 1949 under the name Lawrence Weston Athletic. They joined the Bristol & District Football League, later moving up to the Avon Premier Combination, which became the Bristol Premier Combination. In 1979 the club relocated to Hallen in order to meet the league's ground grading requirement and were renamed Lawrence Weston Hallen.

Hallfield House

Hallfield House is a Grade II listed building situated in Bradfield Dale, 1.7 miles (2.74 km) west of the village of Low Bradfield, near Sheffield in England. History A dwelling on the Hallfield site was first mentioned in documents as early as 1318 when it was recorded that a piece of land called Hallfelde in Thornsett was conveyed between Adam de Romesker and Adam Hawksworth. For many years the house was just a small farmhouse belonging to the Greaves family, who were an eminent dynasty throughout South Yorkshire. The Greaves probably became owners of Hallfield in 1439 when John Greves junior took possession and they held the property for several generations. At that time the house had 40 acres (16 ha) of land of which 20 acres (8.1 ha) were meadow and 20 acres (8.1 ha) were pasture, there were also common rights on the surrounding moorland. By the mid part of the 17th century the house had been greatly altered and was much the same as we see it today. It is thought that these alterations were carried out by Nicholas Greaves or his son John and the resulting gabled building was similar in style to Onesacre Hall, 4.5 miles (7.2 km) to the east, which was constructed around the same time. During the alterations, barns were erected 66 feet (20 m) to the north-east of the main house and were constructed using timber purlins, the barns underwent substantial changes in the 20th century but are still classified as a Grade II listed buildings. In 1672 the Greaves were taxed on six hearths at Hallfield. George Woodhead of Wigtwizzle became the tenant of Hallfield House in 1698 and his descendants occupied the house for much of the 18th century. In 1708, the daughters of John Greaves sold Hallfield to Sir Thomas Wentworth of Wentworth Woodhouse. Hallfield House continued in the ownership of the Wentworth family, subsequently the Marquis of Rockingham and the Earl Fitzwilliam, for the next 250 years. The building received its listed status on 21 October 1974 when in a state of dereliction and offered for sale for £25,000. This was followed by rebuilding work to the wing in 1977. It was later acquired by Sir Hugh Sykes, the Sheffield businessman, who subsequently sold it to the Duckenfield family in 2007. The building Hallfield House is constructed from deeply coursed, squared gritstone with a stone slate roof. The building has four bays and consists of three storeys with an attic. Most of the windows in the main house are mullioned. One of the highlights of the interior is a 17th-century plaster overdoor in one of the downstairs rooms which is decorated with lilies and roses, the room also has a frieze adorned with fish, fruit and mermaids playing harps under an ornamental cornice.

Hallsmead Ait

Hallsmead Ait is an island in the River Thames in Berkshire, England. It is on the reach above Shiplake Lock near Lower Shiplake. The island is large and triangular shaped, forming a pair with The Lynch, a similar shaped island. It is uninhabited and covered with a wide variety of trees. It is close to the county boundary with Oxfordshire, which follows the more northwestern of the two channels where the river splits around the island. Berry Brook starts close to the Redgrave-Pinsent Rowing Lake to the southwest, running northeast through the Thames floodplain, before joining the river at Hallsmead Ait. In 2025 it was put up for sale by auction in November, by its owner Jamie Waller said it "offers something truly rare, a self-contained island retreat located in one of England's most desirable riverside settings".

Hallwood, Cheshire

Hallwood is a former mansion house in Runcorn, Cheshire, England. One wing of the house remains and was a public house called the Tricorn until its closure in 2017. Its former stables were converted into a function room for the public house. The remaining wing of Hallwood is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building; the former stables are listed at Grade II. History It originated as a moated house which was possibly the home of the keeper of the deer park called Halton Park or Northwood to the south of Halton, and which was probably built in the second half of the 15th century. The present house was probably built by Thomas Chesshyre, an official of the Duchy of Lancaster, shortly before 1660. Some later alterations (notably a new baroque south façade and drawing room c.1720, now lost), probably to designs by Francis Smith, were made by his son, Sir John Chesshyre. In 1800, the house was purchased by Sir Richard Brooke of Norton Priory nearby. He commissioned plans, possibly from architect Samuel Wyatt, to modernise the house but they were not implemented. In the 19th century, the building was used as a boarding school called Hallwood Academy. Much of the house was demolished after it became unsafe from bombing in the Second World War. The remaining part became the Tricorn public house which closed in 2017. The lost south façade bore considerable similarities to Hockenhull Hall attributed to Francis Smith of Warwick.

Halnaker Windmill

Halnaker Windmill ( HAN-ə-kər) is a tower mill which stands on Halnaker Hill, north-east of Chichester, Sussex, England. The mill is reached by a public footpath from the north end of Halnaker, where a track follows the line of Stane Street before turning west to the hilltop. There is no longer any machinery in the brick tower. History Halnaker Mill was first mentioned in 1540 as belonging to the manor of "Halfnaked". It was built for the Duke of Richmond as the feudal mill of the Goodwood Estate. The surviving mill is thought to date from the 1740s and is known to have been standing c.1780. Halnaker Mill was working until struck by lightning in 1905, damaging the sails and windshaft. The derelict mill was restored in 1934 by Neve's, the Heathfield millwrights as a memorial to the wife of Sir William Bird. Further repair work was done in 1954 by E Hole and Sons, The Burgess Hill millwrights. The mill was again restored in 2004. The mill is owned by West Sussex County Council. Description Halnaker Mill is a four-storey tower mill with a sixteen-sided beehive cap. The mill was originally hand-wound, and later fitted with a fantail, which was not replicated when the mill was restored. The four common sails were originally carried on a wooden windshaft, which was damaged by a 1905 lightning strike. A cast-iron windshaft and wooden brake wheel from a wind sawmill at Punnetts Town were fitted. The windshaft is cast in two pieces, bolted together, and is too short for Halnaker Mill. Neve's inserted a spacer to lengthen it. The mill worked two pairs of overdrift millstones. Millers Source: John Hervey 1810 Charles Adams 1839–1870 G R Watkins 1868–1905 Hilaire Belloc Halnaker Mill (or Ha'nacker Mill, reflecting the true pronunciation) is the subject of a poem by the English writer Hilaire Belloc in which the collapse of the mill is used as a metaphor for the tragic decay of the prevailing moral and social system. There are musical settings of this poem by Peter Warlock and Ivor Gurney, amongst others. Roman Road The track up to the mill from the southwest, leading through the Halnaker "Tunnel of Trees," is part of Stane Street, a Roman road in use since at least 70 AD. Cars are not allowed on the tree tunnel path. References Further reading Hemming, Peter (1936). The Windmills in Sussex. London: C W Daniel.

Halsway Manor

Halsway Manor (also known as Halsway Court) is a manor house in Halsway, Somerset. It is owned by the Halsway Manor Society who operate the manor as a national centre for the folk arts. It is the only residential folk centre in the UK. It is situated off the A358 road between Taunton and Williton on the edge of the Quantock Hills. Buildings Halsway manor was held in 1086 by Roger de Courcelles with Alric, the owner in 1066, as his tenant. The manor passed through many owners down to 1965 and these are listed in the Victoria County History for Somerset, Volume 5. The manor house, which is mentioned in the Domesday Book, is claimed to have been built by Cardinal Beaufort as a hunting lodge. The eastern end of the building dates from the fifteenth century; the western end is a nineteenth-century addition. The interior was substantially altered in the 1920s and 1930s, with interior panelling and mantelpieces brought in from various other houses. The house was a family home until the mid-1960s, when it became the folk music centre. It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building. There is a ballroom, library and lounge bar with an impressive entrance hall. The latter has oak panelling and staircase, with an open fireplace and barrel ceiling. The mews is now used for accommodation. In 1859, John Henry Parker wrote in his Account of Domestic Architecture:The front is nearly perfect, with a parapet battlemented and enriched with quatre-foil panels, two projections having also battlements and pinnacles, a bay-window, and a good small chimney, some curious gargoyles, and a good bell-cot. The front is long and low, and has three doorways; the hall forms only a small part of the house. Between 1860 and 1868, the Victorian painter John William North stayed for long periods at Halsway, at times with Frederick Walker and George John Pinwell. Folk Centre Halsway Manor Society Ltd was registered as a charity on 8 March 1966 to promote participation in the folk arts — traditional folk music, dance, song, storytelling, folklore and related arts and crafts — through a year-round programme of residential courses, classes, events and activities for people of all ages and abilities. Participants come from all over the country and abroad. Local people are encouraged to get involved through regular dance and music clubs, concerts, an annual festival, fete and craft fairs.

Halton railway station (Lancashire)

Halton railway station served the village of Halton in Lancashire, England. It closed in 1966, but the station building and part of one platform survive beside the cycle path along the disused line. In reference books the station is sometimes referred to as Halton (Lancs) to distinguish it from another Halton railway station in Cheshire (now also disused). History The station was opened on 17 November 1849 by the "little" North Western Railway. It was linked to Halton village by a railway-owned narrow toll bridge across the River Lune. A rebuilt version of the bridge is still in use, free of charge. The original timber station was destroyed by fire on 3 April 1907. A spark from the engine of a passing Heysham–St Pancras boat train set fire to a wagon of oil drums by the goods shed. The fire brigade were unable to cross the narrow bridge and it was left to a special trainload of railway workers from Lancaster to pass buckets of water from the river. The station was rebuilt in brick and timber and the building survives to this day, used as storage by Lancaster University Rowing Club, with a public car park occupying the former track bed. The station closed on 3 January 1966, along with the whole line between Wennington and Morecambe. Cyclists and walkers can travel along the former line in either direction. Beneath the trackbed, east of the station, can be heard running water that is extracted from the river to an underground pumping station in Quernmore Park. Notes References Butt, R. V. J.

Ham Island

Ham Island ist eine bewohnte künstlich geschaffene Insel in der Themse, in Old Windsor, in England. Die Insel ist ungefähr 50 Hektar groß und es gibt 37 Häuser auf der Insel. Geschichte Die heutige Insel war eine Halbinsel, umgeben von einem Mäander der Themse, bis der sogenannte New Cut gegraben wurde, als das Old Windsor Lock gebaut wurde. Am flussaufwärts gelegenen Ende der Insel wurde ein Wehr gebaut, ebenso wie flussabwärts an der Schleuse ein Wehr gebaut wurde. Durch den Bau des neuen Kanals wurde die Fahrstrecke in diesem Abschnitt um rund ein Drittel verkürzt. Die ursprünglichen Häuser auf der Insel waren Ferienhäuser, die jedoch durch größere Häuser ersetzt wurden. Auf der Insel gibt es auch eine Kläranlage und einen Gnadenhof für Pferde. Große Teile der Insel wurden Anfang 2014 überflutet und evakuiert. Erwähnung in der Literatur Die Insel wird in dem Roman Drei Mann in einem Boot als der Ort erwähnt, wo man nach dem Passieren der Schleuse das erste Mal Windsor Castle in der Entfernung sieht. Schutz Ein Teil der Insel ist Teil des mittelalterlichen Kingsbury Palace, einem Scheduled Monument. Siehe auch Liste der Inseln in der Themse Literatur Margaret Gilson: Buildings of Old Windsor.

Ham Island

Ham Island is an inhabited man-made island of roughly 50 hectares (125 acres) in the River Thames in Old Windsor in England. It was a mature meander of the Thames until a channel was dug, the New Cut, to build Old Windsor Lock which reduced the navigable distance by two thirds. The island contains 37 dwellings, a couple of which were abandoned during the 2014 flood. History The current island was a peninsula partly surrounded by a meander of the Thames until 1822 when the Thames Navigation Commissioners dug a channel of the river across the neck, the New Cut, to build Old Windsor Lock at its downstream end. At the upstream end a weir was constructed across the mainstream of the river, and at the downstream end of the cut the Old Windsor Lock also has a small weir. Accordingly, the distance in navigation was cut to around one third. Inhabitation The islands accommodates 37 privately owned dwellings. The original houses on the island, now almost entirely rebuilt in a more luxurious style, were quite modest – many were holiday homes. The island is also the site of a water treatment plant, well-screened from the homes, and the Blueacre Horse Rescue centre which had to be evacuated during the February 2014 flooding. Literature The island is referred to in Three Men in a Boat as, passing up through the lock at this point for the first time they note they can spy Windsor Castle in the distance. This trip is still facilitated with boat hire companies in riverside settlements such as Maidenhead, Windsor and Staines. Protection Part of the island is included within the Scheduled Ancient Monument, Kingsbury medieval palace and associated monuments. In February 2014 the Thames burst its banks forcing some residents to leave their flooded homes.
