There is a porch to the south, and the chancel has both north and south chapels. The inner porch doorway is round-headed and dates from the 12th century, and the oak door is early. Most of the windows are Perpendicular, although there are three early lancets in the west end. There is a 15th-century clerestory. The tower displays the arms of the Savage family.

St Peter's Church, Conisbrough

St Peter's Church is a parish church in Conisbrough, in South Yorkshire, in England. The core of the church is believed to be 8th-century, based on similarities with Northumbrian churches known to date from this period. If this date is accurate, it is the oldest building in South Yorkshire. Historian David Hey argues that it was a minster church, forming the centre of a large, early parish, covering all or much of the 11th-century Fee of Conisbrough. From this early period survives much of the stonework of the tower and nave, including some windows, most of which were later blocked. Part of a 10th-century cross shaft has been discovered, and the church is recorded in the Domesday Book as having a single priest. In the 12th century, aisles were added, and the chancel arch and south door also date from this period, as does a tomb chest in the south aisle. Rita Wood argues that the tomb is for William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey, who died in 1148, as it depicts battles and themes from The Song of Roland. The piscina and a cross slab in the north aisle are 13th-century. The church was next remodelled in the 14th century, from which time the present south aisle dates. In the 15th century, the tower was refaced, and a south porch and clerestory added. Many of the windows also date from this time. The north aisle was rebuilt in 1866, and there was a general restoration, followed by another later in the century, and in the 20th century, the porch was restored. The church is a grade I listed building. See also Grade I listed buildings in South Yorkshire Listed buildings in Conisbrough and Denaby References External links Official website

The William Salt Library is a library and archive, in Stafford, Staffordshire, England. Supported by Staffordshire County Council, it is a registered charity, administered by an independent trust in conjunction with the Staffordshire & Stoke-on-Trent Archive Service, which also operates the county archives from an adjacent building. The core of the library is the large collection of printed books, pamphlets, manuscripts, drawings, watercolours, and transcripts built up by William Salt (1808–1863), a London banker. After his death, Helen, his widow donated the collection to Staffordshire and the library opened in 1872. In 1918 moved to its present home in Eastgate Street, a Grade II* listed house completed in 1735. The library continues to collect and preserve printed material relating to Staffordshire and represents a major source for local and family history in Staffordshire. The library's holdings are available for consultation by the public free of charge. The library is supported by the Friends of the William Salt Library. As well as raising funds for the library to enable it to purchase items for the collection, the Friends also help in practical ways, such as packaging and cleaning items in the collection. Colin Dexter undertook much of the research for his eighth Inspector Morse novel The Wench is Dead (published in 1989) at the library. Dexter recalled that he spent "a good many fruitful hours in the library" consulting contemporary newspaper reports of the murder of Christina Collins, on which the novel was based. He subsequently became patron of the library's 135th anniversary fund-raising appeal.

A new wing at the rear of the house was built in the early 19th century and the north wing was added in the 1880s. By the 1950s the house and garden were derelict and under threat of demolition; however, it was bought and restored. One of the owners was William Francis Patrick Napier who wrote part of his History of the Peninsular War at a stone table in the garden of the house. History The house was built in the early 18th century and revised and extended in the late 18th or early 19th century. It was built on the site of an earlier house known as Pittes Place which dated from before 1603.

In the early 19th century, while owned by Thomas Joyce, John Pinch the elder was employed to raise the central block and add a new wing at the rear. In 1886 the house was bought by Thomas Player Isaac who was a local architect. He added the north wing and a conservatory. He sold the house to Percival Huth, the son of Charles Frederick Huth. The Huth family lived in the manor house until 1918 when they sold it to Edward and Sarah Hett. After their deaths it was sold in a derelict condition to Herbert Doel in the 1950s who wanted to demolish it and build bungalows, however it was saved and restored. Much of the restoration was led by an American, Dallas Pratt (August 21, 1914 – May 20, 1994) and a Briton, John Judkyn (1913 – July 27, 1963) who together went on to found the American Museum in Britain. In 2012 an Archimedes' screw was installed in the River Frome to generate electricity for local houses. A Great Western Railway (GWR) 7800 Class or Manor Class 4-6-0 steam locomotive (number 7813) was named after Freshford Manor. Architecture The two-storey building is built in ashlar Cotswold stone, with a slate roof behind a parapet. The five bay front has a projecting porch with Tuscan columns, around the central doorway. Around 30 yards (27 m) from the house is a stone table approximately 12 feet (3.7 m) long and 6 feet (1.8 m) wide. It is known as "Sir William Napier's Table" as William Francis Patrick Napier wrote part of his History of the Peninsular War sitting at the table. Within the grounds are magnolias dating from the 19th century. The boundary wall and gatepiers were added in the late 18th century. References

Stepleton House

Stepleton House is a 17th-century country house in the parish of Iwerne Stepleton in Dorset, situated about 5 kilometres (3 mi) north of Blandford Forum, Dorset, England. It is a Grade I listed building. Originally built around a courtyard, the house is now a six- by five-bay block with flanking pavilions. It is constructed of ashlar in two storeys plus basement and attics with a hipped stone slate roof. The main house dates from the 17th century and the pavilions from the 18th century. The six-bay frontage has a two-bay pedimented centrepiece. The house stands in a 110-hectare (270-acre) park through which runs the River Iwerne. The grounds and the stable block are separately Grade II listed. History Stepleford House was built for Thomas Fownes in 1634 on land he had bought from George Pitt of Stratfield Saye, Hampshire. It was sold by his descendant, also Thomas Fownes, in 1745 for £12,500 to Julines Beckford, son of a rich Jamaican plantation owner. Beckford remodelled the house and developed the grounds, creating a lake by damming the River Iwerne. He was MP for Salisbury for 10 years and Sheriff of Dorset for 1749–50. On his death in 1764 the property passed to his only son Peter Beckford, MP. Beckford became the patron of the composer Muzio Clementi, whom he discovered at the age of 14 in Rome, and who lived with Beckford in Stepleton House from 1766–73. Peter's grandson, George Pitt-Rivers, 4th Baron Rivers, let the house to Sir John Hadley D'Oyly, and Lord Rivers' last surviving daughter eventually sold the house in 1917 to Sir Randolph Baker. Since then it has passed through several ownerships and still remains in private hands. References External links "Iwerne Stepleton". British History Online.
