Luckley House School

Luckley House School (formerly Luckley-Oakfield School) is an independent day and boarding school, located in Berkshire in England. It has a community of about 380 pupils, with about 290 in the first five-year groups, and 90 in the Sixth Form. The school is set in a rural location, south of the market town of Wokingham. The school has historically been an all girls' school but became co-educational from September 2015. History Luckley School was founded in 1918 and has been situated on its current site in Wokingham, Berkshire since its establishment. The central building of the school, known as the main house, was constructed in 1907. This structure replaced Luckley Manor, a historic estate with roots tracing back to the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was recorded as part of the extensive landholdings documented in Berkshire. Over the centuries, Luckley Manor saw various changes in ownership and architectural modifications before its eventual replacement by the current building. Oakfield School was founded in 1895 in the Lake District, England. Oakfield was an independent school. In 1959, the two schools were merged on the Luckley site in Wokingham, forming an independent educational trust governed by the Charity Commissioners. Since the amalgamation, Luckley House School has continued to evolve and expand its facilities and curriculum. A significant milestone in its history came in September 2015, when the school transitioned to a fully co-educational model, welcoming both boys and girls across all year groups. The current headmistress is Claire Gilding-Brant. House system There are four houses at Luckley: Cornish (red), Blake (blue), Galloway (green), Randle (yellow). There are house events throughout the year, which include the Sports Day, Junior and Senior Rounders, Tennis, Football, Netball, Badminton, Dance, Chess, Hockey, House Bake-Off, Reading Challenge, quiz, and the House Music Competition. Each event contributes points towards the end of year House Cup and the winners go on a House outing at the end of the summer term. The Whitty Theatre Luckley House has its own professional working theatre, The Whitty Theatre.

Ludlow College

Ludlow College is a sixth form college situated in the heart of Ludlow, Shropshire, England. It now forms part of the Herefordshire and Ludlow College, though retains its own identity. History Its history traces back to the reign of King John in 13th century. After centuries of being an exclusively boys school, in 1967 the then Ludlow Grammar School merged with Ludlow Girls High School, the whole retaining the name Ludlow Grammar School. A peculiarity of the boys Grammar School was that there was no 1st year, with new boys entering in the 2nd year. Ludlow Grammar School was founded c. 1200, making it one of the oldest educational institutions in England. In 1977 the (merged) grammar school became Ludlow College, with secondary education in the town instead being provided only by the Ludlow Church of England School. Campus The original boys school is in ancient stone and brick buildings at the bottom of Mill Street, including the Palmers Hall, a Grade II* listed building. The girls school was founded in an expansive Georgian red-brick mansion at the top of Mill Street/on Castle Square. Today three sites are used by the college – Castle Square (the former girls school), Mill Street (the former boys school) and Lower Mill Street.

Lullington Church

Lullington Church, also known as the Church of the Good Shepherd, on the South Downs at Lullington in East Sussex is one of several churches claimed to be the smallest church in England although it is not the smallest. It was built from the remains of the chancel of an earlier church that was destroyed by fire, generally believed to have occurred at the time of Oliver Cromwell. It measures 256 sq ft (24 m2) and seats 20 people. The original church is believed to date from the late 12th or early 13th century and was built as a chapel in the parish of Alfriston, owned by Battle Abbey, and later became a separate parish. A will from 1521 suggests that at the time the church contained a statue of St Zita. In 1927 the parishes of Alfriston and Lullington were merged. The original dedication of the church is unknown, and in 2000 the Bishop of Chichester dedicated the church to the Good Shepherd. The church features a harmonium estimated to be from the end of the 19th century. The church was the inspiration for the 2003 song "The Smallest Church in Sussex" by British alternative rock band Sea Power. The track is a b-side to "Remember Me" and features the church's harmonium, recorded in situ, as the only accompanying instrument.

Lullington Heath

Lullington Heath is a 72.7-hectare (180-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest west of Eastbourne in East Sussex. It is a national nature reserve and a Nature Conservation Review site, Grade I. This site has two nationally uncommon habitats, chalk heath and chalk grassland. Chalk heath formerly covered most of the site but scrub took over much of it after myxomatosis almost wiped out the rabbit population in the 1950s. The grassland is rich in flowering plants and the scrub and rough grassland provide valuable habitats for invertebrates and birds. The village of Lullington and Lullington Church lie to the north-west of the heath, which is in the civil parish of Cuckmere Valley. References

Lusty Glaze

Lusty Glaze (Cornish: Plustri Glas, meaning green grazing area) also known as Lusty Glaze Beach, is a beach in Newquay, Cornwall. Lusty Glaze is privately owned, notably to the low watermark. For much of the year, the beach is open, free of charge to the public. The only access to the beach is via 133 steps. For many years the current owner operated the UK's first dedicated Rescue Training Centre and Outdoor Activity Centre. Today, Lusty Glaze hosts a wide variety of weddings and events, offers accommodation in the original beach cottage, constructed in 1921 and a range of beach cabins or pods. The cove is naturally sheltered by high cliffs. Lusty Glaze is home to a thriving Surf Lifesaving club. It was the southern terminus of the abortive St Columb Canal, parts of which were built in the 1770s, and although the southern section was probably never used, the remains of the inclined plane that connected the beach to the canal on the cliff top 100 feet (30 m) above are still clearly visible.

Luton and Dunstable University Hospital

Luton and Dunstable University Hospital is an acute care hospital in Luton, Bedfordshire, England, run by Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. It provides medical and surgical services for over 350,000 people in southern Bedfordshire, the north of Hertfordshire and parts of Buckinghamshire. The hospital is often abbreviated to the 'L&D', and employs 3,400 staff. History The hospital has its origins in the Bute Hospital, which was built on land donated by the Marquis of Bute (who lived locally at Luton Hoo) on Dunstable Road in Luton and which opened in September 1882. Although the facility was enlarged by two new wards in July 1902 and by a further extension in July 1912 there was little room for further expansion. Ten acres of land, situated in the countryside between Luton and Dunstable were purchased from Electrolux and work on a new hospital started. The hospital was designed by Parrott & Dunham, built by a local contractor, H. C. Janes, and opened by Queen Mary on 14 February 1939. The wards in the new hospital were named after Queen Mary, Lady Ludlow from Luton Hoo and Arthur Buckingham, a Dunstable grocer who had bequeathed £4,000 towards the cost of the hospital. The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948. The Duchess of Gloucester visited the Disability Resource Centre in July 1996 and Princess Anne opened the new St Mary's Wing Rehabilitation Centre in February 2003. After the facility became a teaching hospital for University College London in March 2012, the Duke of Edinburgh opened a new state-of-the-art cardiac centre there in February 2013. Patient safety Luton and Dunstable has been a Safer Patient Initiative site since 2004. Reducing the hospital's mortality rate was a priority for Chief Executive Stephen Ramsden, who believed that saving patient lives must be at the top of all chief executives' agendas. Stephen Ramsden was appointed the director of the National Patient Safety Campaign, after the hospital won the Health Foundation's Safer Patients Initiative. He also received an OBE for services to healthcare. 99% of A&E patients are treated within the target 4 hours. A BBC article maintains other hospitals can learn from Luton and Dunstable. It was named by the Health Service Journal as one of the top hundred NHS trusts to work for in 2015. At that time it had 3,323 full-time equivalent staff and a sickness absence rate of 3.25%. 67% of staff recommend it as a place for treatment and 60% recommended it as a place to work. CQC evaluation The Care Quality Commission rated Luton and Dunstable Hospital as "good" overall in June 2016.

Lutterworth College

Lutterworth College is a 11–19 non-selective, inclusive, comprehensive, Church of England Secondary School and Sixth Form College with academy status. Lutterworth College is in the rural market town of Lutterworth in the district of Harborough, South Leicestershire. The school is a Church of England Voluntary Controlled school. There are approximately 1,600 pupils currently on roll, with around 400 of these being in post-16 education. The last full Ofsted inspection was in November 2017 where the college was judged to be good in all aspects. In 2019 the school was inspected under the SIAMS framework and was judged good in all aspects. History There has been a school in Lutterworth at least since 1613 though the first part of Lutterworth College, then named Lutterworth Grammar School was built in 1880 to provide a middle class boys school for approximately 50 boarders and day scholars. The school remained an all boys grammar until 1902 when the school began to admit female pupils. The school has grown in size from 30 pupils in 1881 to over 2000 in 2010. In 2014 numbers began to fall alongside the college's main neighbouring feeder schools, Lutterworth High School, Brockington College and Thomas Estley Community College expanding their age ranges from 11–14 to 11–16, much like the rest of Leicestershire. In 2006, it was agreed to change the school's name from Lutterworth Grammar School to Lutterworth College, to reflect the fact that the college "is not a selective institution, but rather an inclusive one". In September 2015 the college admitted its first cohort of Year 7 pupils. In November 2017, OFSTED judged the school to be a Good school in all aspects.

Luttrell's Tower

Luttrell's Tower is a three-storey stuccoed yellow brick folly south of Southampton, Hampshire, England, near the village of Calshot. It has a six-storey circular stair turret extending above the rest. It stands on the shore of the Solent, close to the grounds of Eaglehurst House. It is owned by the Landmark Trust. History The tower was built circa 1780 for Temple Simon Luttrell by Thomas Sandby, who was a founder member and first Professor of Architecture at the Royal Academy. Temple Luttrell was a Member of Parliament who was allegedly involved in smuggling on the south coast (though no firm evidence of this exists). The tower's lookout, extending above the height of the main building, would have afforded a commanding view of the activities of the customs men in the area, both out to sea and inland. A tunnel running from an entrance just above the beach straight into the cellar of the tower would have made transferring contraband from the Isle of Wight a low risk operation. It is possible that the tunnel predates the tower. Once the goods were on the mainland, the proximity of Southampton would have made distribution expeditious. In the early 19th century the tower was sold to Richard Lambart, 7th Earl of Cavan. The earl set up tents around the base of the tower and lived in it for a while. Finding the tower too small he later built Eaglehurst House slightly further inland. Documentation in the tower suggests there may have been tunnels from the base of the tower into the cellars of Eaglehurst House; if so they are now blocked up. Marconi used the tower for his wireless experiments of 1912. He rented Eaglehurst House and the tower between 1911 and 1916, and used the top of the tower for his transmissions. His youngest daughter, Gioia, was christened at Fawley Church in 1916. Steps down to the beach were added in 1927 to a design by Clough Williams-Ellis. During World War 2 the tower was taken over by the military who fitted steel shutters over the windows. After the war the tower along with the house was purchased by Valder Gates who had the wartime damage the buildings had suffered repaired. Modern use The tower became a Grade: II* Listed building on 8 October 1959. Since 1968 it has been owned by the Landmark Trust, a charity that rescues and restores historical buildings. It is now let as a holiday home. References External links
Luxhay Reservoir

Luxhay Reservoir is an artificial reservoir near Angersleigh, Somerset, England. It is now owned by Wessex Water. It was built in 1905 by the town corporation to provide drinking water for Taunton. The reservoir is fed by other local water sources including Otterhead Lakes and Blagdon reservoir. From 1969 leakage was detected in the retaining dam. This got worse in 1990s remedial works, including a diaphragm wall were undertaken. In 2006 the lake was found to have an intense bloom of Microcystins which was associated high concentrations of cyanotoxins probably associated with eutrophication of nutrient enriched sediments.

Lyceum Theatre, Sheffield

The Lyceum is a 1,068-seat theatre in the City of Sheffield, England. History There has been a theatre on the site since 1879 when the Grand Varieties Theatre was built. Made of wood and originally intended to be used as a circus, the theatre was managed by the parents of the music hall comedian Dan Leno in 1883, who regularly performed there in the early stages of his career. Leno's lease came to an end in 1884 and the theatre burnt down in 1893. This was replaced by City Theatre but this was demolished six years later to make way for what is now the Lyceum. Built to a traditional proscenium arch design, the Lyceum is the only surviving theatre outside London designed by the theatre architect W.G.R. Sprague and the last example of an Edwardian auditorium in Sheffield. The statue on top of the Lyceum Theatre is Mercury, son of Zeus and Maia. By the late 1950s, the Lyceum was experiencing financial difficulties and by 1966 bingo callers were keeping the rumoured threat of demolition at bay. The theatre closed in 1969 and, despite being granted Grade II listed status in 1972, planning permission was sought for its demolition in 1975. The building was saved in part due to campaigning by the Hallamshire Historic Buildings Society. Over the years the building changed ownership many times, being used variously as a bingo hall and a rock concert venue. By the 1980s, the interior was in a state of disrepair. The theatre was bought by two Sheffield businessmen in 1985, with financial support from Sheffield City Council, and it was reclassified to Grade II* listed status. Between 1988 and 1990 the Lyceum was completely restored at a cost of £12 million. The theatre reopened in 1990 and now serves as a venue for touring West End productions, as well as locally produced shows. It is part of the Sheffield Theatres complex with the neighbouring Crucible Theatre and the Tanya Moiseiwitsch Playhouse. Home of pantomime The Lyceum presents one of Sheffield's annual Christmas pantomimes. For many years the pantomime attracted prominent actors and variety turns and visiting producers in the months between Christmas Eve and Easter. In the 1940s, the Lyceum began to produce its own pantomime and was soon bringing in stars of radio such as Morecambe and Wise, Harry Secombe and Frankie Howerd. However, closure of the Lyceum meant that after the final pantomime performance in March 1969, Sheffield's pantomimes took place in the neighbouring Crucible. The pantomime returned to the Lyceum in 1990s, as touring production companies were now using the venue. In 2007, Sheffield Theatres replaced the touring companies by starting co-production with Evolution Pantomimes. Their first show Cinderella was followed by Aladdin in 2008 and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 2009. See also Sheffield Theatres Crucible Theatre Crucible Studio Notes Olive, Martin (1994).
