Staple Inn

Staple Inn is a part-Tudor building on the south side of High Holborn street in the City of London, England. Located near Chancery Lane tube station, it is used as the London venue for meetings of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, and is the last surviving Inn of Chancery. It was designated a Grade I listed building in 1974. History It was originally attached to Gray's Inn, which is one of the four Inns of Court. The Inns of Chancery fell into decay in the 19th century. All of them were dissolved, and most were demolished. Staple Inn is the only one which survives largely intact. It was an extra-parochial area until 1858 and then a civil parish. It became part of the Metropolitan Borough of Holborn in 1900 and was abolished in 1930. On 1 April 1994, boundary changes meant that the Inn was transferred from the London Borough of Camden to the City of London (and the City ward of Farringdon Without). It was the model for the fictitious Inn of Court "Bacon's Inn" in Arthur Moore's 1904 novel Archers of the Long Bow. The ancient switch-tailed double pump referred to was replaced in 1937 by a mock single pump, to mark the site. Wool staple Staple Inn dates from 1585. The building was once the wool staple, where wool was weighed and taxed. It survived the Great Fire of London, was extensively damaged by a Nazi German Luftwaffe aerial bomb in 1944 but was subsequently restored. It has a distinctive timber-framed façade, cruck roof and an internal courtyard. The historic interiors include a great hall, used by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries. The ground-floor street frontage is let to shops and restaurants, required to use plainer signage than they do on less sensitive buildings. For a time, the building appeared on the packaging of Old Holborn tobacco.

Star City, Birmingham

Star City is a family leisure and entertainment complex in Nechells, Birmingham, England. It is located in the north east of the city very close to Junction 6 of the M6 motorway (Spaghetti Junction), and Aston railway station. Development This former derelict industrial land was developed as part of a regeneration scheme for the Heartlands area and to change Birmingham's image for the 21st century. Its centrepiece is the 25-screen (formerly 30-screen) Vue cinema, at the time the largest cinema in Europe and originally opened as Warner Brothers Cinema. The construction was carried out by Wolverhampton based firm Carillion. The complex was formally opened in July 2000 by actors George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg to coincide with the UK premier of The Perfect Storm. With some 392,000 square feet (36,400 m2) of leisure space, it is one of the largest leisure complexes in the United Kingdom. Attractions A 22-lane Megabowl (now branded as 'Tenpin') bowling alley was revealed when Star City opened and has remained since. By the end of 2003, it was the largest leisure park in the country ahead of The Printworks in Manchester and The Mailbox in Birmingham city centre. A Goals soccer centre opened in 2007 with fourteen floodlit pitches situated on the roof. Goals also incorporates a Sports Bar which shows year round sporting events on both Sky and Terrestrial TV. The centre underwent a major redevelopment in 2008. England's first indoor 36 hole adventure mini golf course, 'Adventure Island Mini Golf', opened on 11 June 2008. Reflecting the community Star City is located in Nechells where ethnic minorities make up the majority of the area's population. As a result, the screening of Bollywood films by Vue's theatre at the site is seen as an attraction for visitors. Entertainment for the venue includes a visit made by the Canadian Cirque du Soleil in 2005. 2019 violence On 23 November 2019 at the Vue cinema, during a screening of Blue Story, which depicts gang violence, a violent disturbance broke out. Some of those involved carried machetes. Seven West Midlands Police officers were injured and a number of people were arrested. Following the incident, Vue banned all future screenings of the film from its cinemas. References External links Official website
Starborough Castle

Starborough Castle, historisch auch Sterborough Castle, war eine mittelalterliche Burg und ist heute ein Herrenhaus aus dem 18. Jahrhundert in der englischen Grafschaft Surrey. Die erste Burg wurde um 1341 errichtet. und nach dem englischen Bürgerkrieg geschleift. Das heutige neugotische Herrenhaus, das den Nordostteil einer künstlichen Insel südlich des River Eden, etwa 3 Kilometer südwestlich von Edenbridge, belegt, ließ Sir James Burrow 1754 errichten. English Heritage hat es als Bauwerk II*. Grades gelistet und es gilt als Scheduled Monument. Geschichte Das erste Starborough Castle war ein Herrenhaus von Reginald de Cobham, 1. Baron Cobham of Sterborough. Am 18. Oktober 1341 erhielt Cobham die Erlaubnis von König Eduard III., sein Herrenhaus zu befestigen (englisch: Licence to Crenellate). Im folgenden Jahr ließ er das Haus ausbauen, so wurde es zu Starborough Castle. Ebenso wie Bodiam Castle war Starborough Castle eine Kastellburg. Es hatte vier Türme und ein Tor, war allseitig von einem Graben umgeben und besaß eine Zugbrücke auf der Südseite. Nach der Schlacht von Azincourt 1415 wurde dort der Herzog von Orléans eine Zeitlang gefangengehalten. Durch Heirat mit Anne Cobham, Tochter von Sir Thomas Cobham, de jure 5. Baron Cobham of Sterborough, erwarb Edward Burgh um 1476 die Burg. Am 4. Juli 1648 ordnete das Parlament von England unter Oliver Cromwell die Zerstörung der Burg an. Man fürchtete, sie könnte als Basis für eine Rebellion der Royalisten dienen. Nur der Burggraben ist bis heute erhalten, wenn auch Teile der alten Burg zum Bau des heutigen Gebäudes in der Nordostecke des Geländes verwendet wurden. In den 1700er-Jahren wurde das Gelände Teil eines Landschaftsgartens, bevor Sir James Burrow 1754 das Herrenhaus bauen ließ, das heute Starborough Castle genannt wird. Auch dieses Haus verfiel und blieb lange Zeit eine Ruine, aber ein örtlicher Bauer und Maurer, Ray Edwards, restaurierte es und verkaufte es an Warwick Leadlay. Unter Leadlay wurden Nebengebäude hinzugefügt und auf dem Gelände fand jährlich ein Jazz-Festival statt. 2003 bot Leadlay das Gelände zum Verkauf an.

Starborough Castle

Starborough Castle, known historically as Sterborough Castle, is a Neo-Gothic garden house of dressed sandstone near the eastern boundary of Surrey, built in 1754 by Sir James Burrow. It occupies the north-eastern portion of an artificial island south of the River Eden, roughly 3 km (2 mi) to the south-west of Edenbridge. It is a Grade II* listed building and scheduled monument, and was built on the site of the first castle, a medieval fortified house built c. 1341. History The first Starborough Castle was the manor house of Reginald de Cobham, 1st Baron Cobham, and 1st Lord Cobham of Sterborough. On 18 October 1341 Cobham was granted licence by Edward III to crenellate the building, and the following year the building was fortified and became Starborough Castle. The castle was of a similar quadrangular style to Bodiam Castle, consisting of four towers and a gate, surrounded on all sides by a moat, with a central bridge crossing at the south. After the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the Duke of Orleans was for a time held captive in the castle. The castle passed to Edward Burgh through his c. 1476 marriage to Anne Cobham, daughter of Sir Thomas, de jure 5th Baron Cobham of Sterborough. On 4 July 1648 the castle was ordered to be dismantled by Order of Parliament under the rule of Oliver Cromwell. It was feared the castle would provide a base for Royalist Rebellion forces. Only the moat survives, although parts of the original castle were used to build the present building on the north-east corner of the site. In the 1700s the site became part of a country garden, before Sir James Burrow constructed the neo-Gothic garden house on the moated island in 1754. He also built a manor house, now known as Starborough Castle, on the site, this was demolished and replaced by a new house near the lake, designed by John Tonge, around 1870. In 1793 the castle was sold to Sir Thomas Turton who carried out work clearing the moat and improving the water supply. He sold the castle to William Bruce Smith in 1812. Later owners were James Moore in 1870 and R V Toynbee, who acquired the, by now, ruined, site in 1933. Ray Edwards, a local farmer and builder, acquired the site in the 1970s and restored the Gothic pavilion before selling it to London gallery owner, Warwick Leadlay. Under Leadlay outbuildings were added, with the site being used for an annual jazz festival. Leadlay placed the castle for sale in 2003.

Station Stones

The Station Stones are elements of the prehistoric monument of Stonehenge. Originally there were four stones, resembling the four corners of a rectangle that straddles the inner sarsen circle, set just inside Stonehenge's surrounding bank. Two stood on earth mounds at opposing corners, one corner broadly in the north of the site and one in the south. The mounds are called the North and South barrows although they never contained burials. The ring ditches surrounding these barrows respect the presence of Stonehenge's encircling bank indicating that they postdate this feature. The other two corners of the rectangle are occupied by the two surviving stones which are undressed sarsens. Their installation at the monument dates to sometime in Stonehenge phase 3, perhaps around 4,000 years ago. Various astronomical alignments have been suggested for the stones, all involving other features at the site. As they cannot be said with certainty to have been contemporaneous with other stones or posts at Stonehenge, archaeoastronomical theories regarding their function have been treated with scepticism by mainstream archaeology. Although described as forming a rectangle, the two stones and the two stone settings can also be described as representing two opposite facets of an octagon. This suggests that they were laid out to a geometric plan and challenges the theory that the positions were astronomically determined. References Bibliography Johnson, Anthony (2008).

Stationers Park

Stationers Park is a 1.5-hectare park between Crouch End, Stroud Green and Harringay, London Borough of Haringey and was opened in 1987. The park sits between Mayfield Road and Denton Road (N8 9LP). It includes a MUGA (multi-user games area), two tennis courts, an under-7 playground and a junior playground with a massive fort, which has recently had new equipment fitted. It also has an open-air classroom and performance space, and a table tennis table. It has over 200 trees with a massive central weeping willow, two ponds and a thriving café, famous for its cakes. The park is modest but popular with kids, especially since Weston Park Primary School is situated on the park. The park is managed by Haringey with support from TCV and the Friends of Stationers Park (chair Chris Arnold). The park holds a number of community events, including the Summer Festival (in association with the Crouch End Festival), Jazz in the Park and Art in the Park. Details and news can be found on the Stationers Park Community Facebook group. Many locals are puzzled why it's not called Weston Park, the road next to it. The answer is that it is named after the former Stationers' Company's School. The school was founded by the 'Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers' to provide education for sons of those in the printing, newspaper, publishing and allied trade. Originally opened in 1981, the school was relocated in 1983. As of 2021, it is a winner of the Green Flag Award.

Staunton Harold Hall

Staunton Harold Hall is a large 18th-century Grade I listed country house built by the Earls Ferrers, situated within the 2,000-acre (810 ha) Staunton Harold Park in Staunton Harold, Leicestershire, England, which includes the 17th-century Grade I listed Holy Trinity Chapel (Staunton Harold church). History The Shirley family had lived in Staunton Harold for many generations. Sir Robert Shirley built the church in the hall grounds in 1653 in the Commonwealth era. The present hall was originally a Jacobean building built for Robert Shirley, 1st Earl Ferrers as a family seat for the newly ennobled Shirley family and remained so until the 20th century. The fourth earl, Laurence Shirley, 4th Earl Ferrers, was tried, condemned and hanged for killing his steward. The hall was rebuilt in its present form in 1763 for Washington Shirley, 5th Earl Ferrers. It is a Georgian two-storey brick house with stone dressings in the form of a square enclosing a quadrangle. Sewallis Shirley, 10th Earl Ferrers inherited the hall in 1859 and sold most of the land. Robert Shirley, 12th Earl Ferrers gifted the church to the National Trust and put the estate up for auction. In 1955 it was acquired by Leonard Cheshire for use as a Cheshire Home and sold in 1980 to be used as a Sue Ryder Care home. The Hall once again became a family home in 2003. The stable block is occupied by a number of small craft enterprises as the Ferrers Centre for Arts and Crafts. References "Staunton Harold History". Staunton Harold Estate. Retrieved 7 August 2012.
