St Osmund's Church, Salisbury

St Osmund's Church is a Roman Catholic church in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England. It was designed by Augustus Pugin in the Gothic Revival style and built in 1847–1848. It is on Exeter Street, opposite Bishop Wordsworth's School, in the city centre. It is a Grade II listed building. History Background After the Reformation, the Catholic community in Salisbury celebrated mass in a house on Cathedral Close owned by Baron Arundell of Wardour. In the early 1800s, the Arundells left the area. In 1811, a former inn, the World's End Inn on St Martin's Lane, was bought so that a small chapel could be built there. Construction In the 1840s, the chapel was too small to accommodate the increasing Catholic population of the city. John Lambert (1815–1892), later the first Catholic mayor of Salisbury, bought the site for the current church and presbytery, and commissioned Augustus Pugin to design the church; Pugin had converted to Catholicism in 1835 and had previously lived in Salisbury for some years. On 8 April 1847, the foundation stone was laid by Bishop William Ullathorne, the Vicar Apostolic of the Western District. On 6 September 1848, the church was consecrated. Description The church is built of flint and stone, and originally had a chancel, nave and south aisle, and a south-west tower with a pyramidal roof. Enlargement of the church in 1894 was designed by Edward Doran Webb: a gabled north aisle was added and the south aisle altered. The altars were designed by Pugin. In 1850, stained glass designed by Pugin and made by Hardman & Co. was installed in the church. In the 1980s, the walls in the chancel were repainted according to the original Pugin design. In 1982, stained glass was installed, showing the Martyrs of England and Wales. Nikolaus Pevsner wrote in 1963 that the church is "Really of no architectural interest inside or out". Julian Orbach, revising Pevsner's volume in 2021, prefers to describe the church as "plain rather than inspiring". A church school was built in 1867 on the north part of the site, in matching flint and stone, to designs by Pugin's son E. W. Pugin. Now used as the church hall, it too is Grade II listed. Parish and services St Osmund's Church is one of two churches in the titular parish of St Osmund's, the other being St Gregory and the English Martyrs Church on St Gregory's Avenue. St Osmund's has four Sunday masses at 9:00, 11:00, and 18:00, with an Ordinariate Mass at 12:15pm. St Gregory's has a Saturday Vigil Mass at 18.00 and a Sunday Mass at 9:00am. There are also occasional masses at the Chapel of the Good Shepherd, Downton.

Newcastle City Baths

The Newcastle City Baths is a swimming and sports facility located in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It is a Grade II listed building, with a Victorian-style Turkish baths. History The building was commissioned to replace the ageing Northumberland Baths on Northumberland Road, which were designed by John Dobson and completed in 1838. The new building was designed by Nicholas & Dixon-Spain and opened on 7 November 1928 as a part of a development which also included the adjacent Newcastle City Hall. The city baths formed the west side of the complex and, like the city hall, the design involved a tall portico with central Doric order columns between flanking antae with five square windows above. The Turkish baths were unique among those provided by local authorities. Whereas hot air was normally directed into the hottest room and passed onwards to the others (cooling as it progressed), in these baths, fresh filtered clean air at the required temperature was fed into each hot room separately. The cooling-room had a simple inlaid floor decoration, a circular glazed dome, curtained changing and relaxation cubicles, and mahogany panelled furniture and doors. In November 2012, Newcastle City Council announced that, as part of a wider cost-cutting process, the future of the City Hall and the adjacent City Baths was under review, with a number of options being considered including closure or handing over the venue to an external operator. In April 2016 it was announced that the Fusion Lifestyle, a leisure charity, had taken over management of the venue and work commenced on a restoration programme at a cost of £7.5 million, which involved converting the main swimming pool into a gym area while a second, smaller pool, was retained for swimming. The gym and swimming pool re-opened to the public in January 2020, and, following restoration of the building's glass dome, the Turkish baths re-opened in April 2024.

Poundsbridge Manor

Poundsbridge Manor, nicknamed "The Picture House", is an oak timber-framed house built in 1593 by John and Brian Durtnall for their father William, Rector of Penshurst from 1563 to 1596. Originally, it was called "Durtnolls" and it has an inscription "1593 WD ETA 69". WD are the initials of William Durtnell and the letter D, looking like an inverted Q, is the Gothic form of the letter. ETA 69 (ETA is a mistake for "aet", aetatis suae) means he was 69 years old when the house was finished. In 1678 it was owned by an Edmond Woodgate and he left it to his nephew Thomas Woodgate, a yeoman of Farningham, who left it to his wife. Later, it was divided in two and one part became a tavern. It was illustrated by Samuel Prout, was also illustrated in a book of 1810 in a drawing by Paul Amsinck, engraved by Letitia Byrne, and by an F. Grant in 1906 (owned by Tunbridge Wells Museum and Art Gallery). In 1906 it was described as "Pounds Bridge" inn and being "on a secluded road between Speldhurst and Penshurst, in Kent". It is now a Grade II listed building. In the Second World War, the house was hit by a stray bomb and the extensive rebuilding that was required was again done by Durtnell's. References Notes

St Mary's Church, Nelson

St Mary's Church is on Manchester Road in Nelson, Pendle, Lancashire. It is a redundant Anglican parish church, and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. It was built in 1879 to a design by Waddington and Dunkerley. The west bay and tower were added between 1905 and 1908. The Ecroyd family provided a large amount of the funding with the rest being raised by public subscription. The chapelry district of Saint Mary, Nelson in Little Marsden, a division of the new parish of Little Marsden, was assigned in August 1879. In 1989 the church was declared redundant due to decline in congregation and attendance. Bought by a private developer who was refused permission to demolish the building, it was left empty for over two decades and was subsequently acquired by the Heritage Trust for the North West. £250,000 structural repairs have been undertaken, funded by the trust and with substantial support from English Heritage, Pendle Borough Council, and the Architectural Heritage Fund. It was then the base of the Open Door Furniture Recycling organisation. However by April 2024 they have moved to other premises and the building is again vacant and looking derelict. There is no access currently to the Churchyard due to security fencing. Its benefice has been united with that of St Paul's Church, Nelson and the former Church of St Bede to create the parish of Nelson Little Marsden. After 1989, the former Church Hall on Maurice Street was converted into a shared space for both Church and secular organisations. Today it is known as the Beacon Centre, with a chapel in an upper room containing the altar moved from the original church. See also Listed buildings in Nelson, Lancashire References

All Saints' Church, Grayswood

All Saints' Church is an active parish church in the village of Grayswood, Surrey, England. The church stands in the centre of the village and was built between 1900 and 1902. Designed by the Swedish artist Axel Haig, who lived in the village and is buried in the graveyard, the church is a Grade II listed building. History The village of Grayswood stands to the north of the town of Haslemere. The parish of Grayswood was established in 1901 as a condition for the funding of a new church by Alfred Hugh Harman. Harman, a pioneer of photography and the founder of Ilford Photo, had moved to the village in 1894. In addition to funding the construction of the church, Harman paid for a vicarage and provided an endowment for the provision of a stipend to the incumbent vicar. Harman engaged his friend Axel Haig to undertake the designs for the church. Haig, born in Sweden in 1835, had moved to Scotland in 1856, and subsequently to London in 1859. He established himself as an artist, and became highly sought after as an architectural illustrator by many of the leading architects of the Victorian era. The church was built between 1900 and 1902, and was consecrated on 13 February 1902 by Randall Davidson, Bishop of Winchester. The church remains an active parish church within the United Benefice of Haslemere and Grayswood, celebrating its 120th anniversary in February 2022. Architecture Haig designed the church in the style of 13th century English Gothic. Historic England notes that it has many "Arts and Crafts elements". It also draws on Haig's Scandinavian heritage, in particular through its extensive use of wood, both internally and externally. The bell tower is timbered, as are the internal ceilings, and the tower and the lychgate are roofed in wood shingles. The body of the church is constructed of Bargate stone. Some of the stained glass is by Carl Almquist, like Haig an immigrant from Sweden, while other windows are by Charles Eamer Kempe. The church is a Grade II listed building. The churchyard walls and lychgate have a separate Grade II listing. Haig died at Grayswood in 1921 and is buried under a memorial stone of his own design, which is also listed. His church has not always been appreciated; the notoriously acerbic critic Ian Nairn, in the Surrey volume of the Pevsner Buildings of England, wrote, "All Saints fits happily enough into the distant view, with its cosy timbered bell-turret facing the green, but is bad close-to."

Gloucester Public Library

Gloucester Public Library is a public library in Brunswick Road, Gloucester, England, founded in 1897 and is open 6 days a week. It has been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since 1973. History Originally called the Schools of Science and Art, the original part of the building was built by FullJames Waller & Son in 1872 for the Gloucester Science and Art Society which was mainly funded by subscribers. It also housed a museum of Literature and Science. There were several failed attempts to run a free public library at the Working Men's Institute and a survey from 1887 shows that taxpayers voted against having a free public library. In 1893, the building was extended with a hall built for the Gloucester Science and Art Society called the "Price Memorial Hall". The city corporation brought the book collection of the Gloucester Literary and Scientific Association in 1895 and took over the buildings and running of the school and museum in 1896. In 1897, a free library service was started. The building was extended to the south in 1900 to house the new library, which was built to mark Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and designed by F.W Waller. The building finally opened as a public library in 1900. The library opened with Roland Austin's Gloucestershire Collection of local history which has since moved to the Gloucestershire Archives in 2005. In 1902, the Price Memorial Hall was converted to be used as part of the museum which became The Museum of Gloucester. In 1990 a rare piece of choral music by Sir Edward Elgar was found in a plain envelope in the library's collections, 83 years after it disappeared. Architecture The library building is designed in the Neo-Gothic style. It was inspired by the work of George Edmund Street. It consists of five bays parallel to the street with cross-gabled right angle ranges at each end. The two bays and right angle range at the north end of the building are the original part built in 1872 and southern end is the newer part built in 1900. It has two storeys and a cellar. There are two entrances on each of the end bays. All the bays have large ground and first floor windows apart from where the entrances are located. The newer southern entrance has the year 1900 engraved above it, and the southern range has the words "public library" engraved between the ground and first floor windows. Inside the main reading room is braced out to support a glazed atrium roof. The adjoining Price Memorial Hall is built in the renaissance style. Collection As well as a book collection, the library includes a dedicated Music and Performing Arts collection which has a large collection of vocal scores and orchestral sets. References
