Puente ferroviario de Monkwearmouth

El puente ferroviario de Monkwearmouth (oficialmente Monkwearmouth Bridge, también llamado Wearmouth Railway Bridge o Sunderland Railway Bridge) es una estructura construida en 1879 que cruza el río Wear entre Sunderland y Monkwearmouth. El puente se encuentra adyacente y aguas arriba del puente carretero de Wearmouth. Originalmente construido como parte de la Línea de Conexión de Monkwearmouth, proporcionó el primer enlace ferroviario directo entre Newcastle y Sunderland. El puente ahora lo utilizan los servicios del Metro de Tyne y Wear y la Línea de la Costa de Durham. Historia y diseño El puente se construyó como parte de la infraestructura de la Línea de Conexión de Monkwearmouth, que se inauguró en 1879, un ramal que enlazaba a través del río Wear la línea del antiguo Ferrocarril de Conexión de Brandling en Monkwearmouth con la orilla sur en Sunderland y la línea del antiguo Ferrocarril de Durham y Sunderland.​​ El puente fue diseñado por T. E. Harrison: consistía en un tramo principal de 300 pies (91,4 m), un puente de arco tesado de hierro, construido a partir de tramos de viga cajón metálicos conectados por una celosía con refuerzos de esquina curvos para crear aligeramientos elípticos en los elementos de arriostramiento. El tablero del puente de hierro descansaba 86 pies (26,2 m) sobre el nivel de la marea alta del agua en el río Wear. En cada extremo del puente había tres arcos de mampostería de 25 pies (7,6 m) de luz. Hawks, Crawshay and Sons construyó la perfilería metálica, y John Waddell fue el contratista de la mampostería.​​ En el momento de su construcción, se decía que era el puente de hierro abatible más grande del mundo.​ La estructura fue catalogada de grado II en 1978,​ por lo que se requirió solicitar permiso para introducir las modificaciones realizadas hacia el año 2000 y realizar las obras relacionadas con la construcción de la línea del Metro: para la instalación de la catenaria de la electrificación;​ y para la construcción de una estación (St Peter), construida sobre el viaducto del acceso norte del puente.​ En 2007 se realizaron trabajos de reparación y de refuerzo del puente, incluyendo la instalación de 45 nuevas vigas transversales.​ Utilización El puente y el ferrocarril permitieron que los trenes circularan directamente de Newcastle a Hartlepool, al crear una línea de conexión entre Newcastle y Sunderland.​​ Desde 2002, el puente también lleva el Metro de Tyne y Wear. Es parte de la moderna Línea de la Costa de Durham, puesta en servicio de (2012).​ Véase también Puente de Wearmouth (1796) Puente de Wearmouth Referencias Enlaces externos Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre Puente ferroviario de Monkwearmouth.

Chartreuse de Mount Grace

La chartreuse de Mount Grace (dénommée aussi prieuré de Mount Grace, en anglais : Mount Grace Priory), établie dans le village d'East Harlsey, près d'Ingelby, dans le comté de Yorkshire du Nord (North Yorkshire), en Angleterre est un prieuré de l'Ordre des Chartreux aujourd'hui en ruines. Situation Situé dans les forêts du parc national des North York Moors, le prieuré est aujourd'hui le mieux conservé et le plus accessible des dix maisons chartreuses médiévales d'Angleterre. C'était le dernier monastère établi au Yorkshire et l'un des rares fondés en Grande-Bretagne dans la période entre la mort noire (1349-50) et la réforme. C'était un établissement assez petit, conçu pour abriter un prieur et vingt-trois moines. Histoire Cette chartreuse est fondée en 1398 par Thomas Holland, 1er duc de Surrey, fils de Thomas, 2e comte de Kent, demi-frère du roi Richard II, ses droits de fondateur étant enchevêtrés avec ceux de John d’Ingelby. Il y fait adjoindre par Richard II le revenu de plusieurs prieurés étrangers saisis, revenu précaire, surtout après l’exécution du duc en 1400. Les ducs d’Exeter, ses parents, fondent cinq cellules en 1417. Henri V accorde à nouveau des prieurés étrangers. Mount Grace compte plusieurs écrivains parmi ses religieux : Nicolas Love, Richard Methley, auteur et traducteur d'ouvrages de spiritualité et mort en 1527 ou 1528, y vécut toute sa vie de chartreux et John Norton. La maison reçoit de nombreux dons dans la seconde moitié du XVe siècle, de sorte qu'elle avait 323 £ de revenu à sa suppression. Il a été fermé en 1539 lorsque le roi Henri VIII a ordonné la dissolution des monastères. Le gouvernement doit employer la force pour faire signer l’Acte de suprématie ; la communauté participait indirectement au pèlerinage de Grâce ; elle dut signer l’acte de cession en 1539. Aujourd'hui La propriété appartient maintenant à l'association à but non lucratif britannique National Trust, mais est placée sous la responsabilité de l'English Heritage.

Nettlestead Place

Nettlestead Place is a country house in Nettlestead, Kent, England. The house and its gatehouse are each separately Grade I listed buildings. Buildings The construction of Nettlestead Place began c. 1250–60 with additions added c. 1438 and c. 1589 and in the 1920s. The two-storey house is built of local ragstone, galletted on the ground floor of the main section and more randomly coursed on the first floor. The 15th- and 20th-century extensions are without galletting. Having been used for two centuries as an oast house, it was restored and extended for use as a house in the 1920s. The main wing of the house, aligned east–west, is the oldest part and contains the original 13th-century construction with the 15th-century extension on its eastern end. The south elevation, facing a square pond, is divided into four unequal sections by projecting bays probably constructed as garderobes with small windows at the first floor. the sections between the projections feature a series of five 15th-century paired windows at first floor with moulded stone architraves and mullions. Smaller windows occur in the ground floor, and at the east (right) end of the wing is a doorway over which stone carvings of shields carry the date "AD 1589". The west and east ends of the wing are gabled, with the west end rebuilt as part of the 1920s works which included chimney stacks added at both ends of the wing. On the east end, the 1920s extension is two storeys with an attic floor, but with lower eaves and ridge heights and dormer windows. It is slightly set back from the earlier wing. The 1920s construction extends north as a two-storey east wing with the attic floor and dormer windows continuing. It terminates with a short north wing set at a right angle, each end of which is gabled. On the north side of the original wing, at its junction with the east wing is a gabled 1920s stair turret probably occupying the location of an earlier stair turret. The north side of the original wing features a pair of two-storey gabled bays set in from the ends, between which the roof continues down to eaves above the ground floor. Internally, the older part of the house contains a number of original structural features including moulded details to window surrounds and 13th- and 15th-century doorways. The early 14th-century gatehouse stands to the west of the house at the start of the private drive. It is a two-storey structure with a roughly coursed ragstone ground floor and a half-timbered first floor jettied to the west and spanning the roadway on timber Bressumer beams. The roof is of clay tiles and is gabletted and features crown post construction. See also St Mary's Church, Nettlestead, neighbouring church Grade I listed buildings in Maidstone References
Norfolk Heritage Park

Norfolk Heritage Park is een park in het zuidoosten van de stad Sheffield, gelegen in de ward Arbourthorne. Het park werd aangelegd door de Hertog van Norfolk en staat sinds 1848 open voor het publiek, waardoor het een van de eerste openbare parken in het Verenigd Koninkrijk was. In 1994 werd het park op de Britse erfgoedlijst geplaatst, zodat Heritage aan de naam werd toegevoegd. Het heeft een oppervlakte van 28 hectare. Geschiedenis Oorspronkelijk was Norfolk Park een domein met herten, in het persoonlijke eigendom van de hertog. Binnen in het park staat een triomfboog die aan de donatie in 1910 van het park aan het stadbestuur van Sheffield herinnert. Het park bezit drie hoofdingangen met een stenen gevel en stalen poort. Koningin Victoria deed op 21 mei 1897 Sheffield aan, waarbij naar verluidt circa 200.000 gegadigden in Norfolk Park verzamelden. In de Victoriaanse periode beleefde de populariteit van het park haar hoogtepunt, maar ook in de 20ste eeuw werd het druk gefrequenteerd door wandelaars en sporters. In de jaren 50 werden een speelplaats voor kinderen en een voetbalterrein aangelegd. Het gebied Jarvis Lum werd in 1956 eveneens door het stadsbestuur aangekocht en aan het parkdomein toegevoegd; hier bevindt zich een kleine vallei met een waterval. In de jaren 80 was het park evenwel in verval geraakt. Er bevond zich een oude kantine waarop in 1995 brandstichting werd gepleegd. Met de steun van het erfgoedfonds van de Britse loterij werd een nieuw paviljoen, The Centre in the Park, gebouwd, benevens nieuwe speelterreinen en een crèche. Sedert 2002 vindt in het park jaarlijks de Sheffield Fayre plaats, met gemiddeld 25.000 bezoekers het grootste gratis openluchtevenement in South Yorkshire. Op dit festival worden elke jaar meerdere reënactments van diverse historische gebeurtenissen en veldslagen gehouden. Externe link Norfolk Heritage Park op de website van Sheffield
North Elmham Castle

North Elmham Castle, auch North Elmham Bishops Castle oder North Elmham Bishops Chapel, ist eine Burgruine im Dorf North Elmham in der englischen Grafschaft Norfolk. Geschichte Die Burg wurde im 11. Jahrhundert an der Stelle der angelsächsischen Kathedrale von Elmham gebaut. Es war der Bischofssitz von Herbert de Losinga, dem ersten Bischof von Norwich. Am 29. Dezember 1387 erhielt Henry Despenser, Bischof von Norwich, die königliche Erlaubnis, die Kirche zu befestigen (engl.: Licence to Crenellate). Er ließ sie dann in eine Burg mit doppeltem Burggraben umbauen. Im Laufe des 16. Jahrhunderts verfiel die Burg und im 19. Jahrhundert war oberirdisch nichts mehr davon zu sehen. Heute English Heritage, das heute das Anwesen verwaltet, ließ in den 1970er-Jahren Ausgrabungen durchführen, wobei Erdwerke und Ruinen zum Vorschein kamen. Überreste eines Küchenherdes, Bögen, die Türme der Kathedrale und Mauern sind heute wieder sichtbar. Das Gelände ist öffentlich zugänglich und kann das ganze Jahr über kostenlos besichtigt werden. Die Burgruine ist ein historisches Bauwerk I. Grades und gilt als Scheduled Monument. Streit Es gibt einen Streit über die Ruinen auf dem Anwesen. Man weiß zwar sicher, dass ein Teil der Ruinen von der Burg und der Kirche aus dem 11. Jahrhundert stammen, aber es gibt unterschiedliche Meinungen darüber, welches Gebäude vorher dort stand. Man dachte, dass dort eine angelsächsische Kathedrale aus Stein und Feuerstein stand, die in spätangelsächsischer Zeit bis 1075 als Bischofssitz der Bischöfe von East Anglia diente. Architekturhistoriker denken aber nun, dass, obwohl eine angelsächsische Holzkirche auf dem Gelände existierte, die steinernen Überreste tatsächlich von einer normannischen Kapelle, die nach der Eroberung Englands gebaut wurde, stammen.

North Elmham Castle

North Elmham Castle, also known as North Elmham Bishops Castle and North Elmham Bishops Chapel, is a ruined castle in the village of North Elmham, in the county of Norfolk, England. History The castle was built on the site of the Anglo-Saxon cathedral of Elmham in the 11th century. It was the see of Herbert de Losinga, Bishop of Norwich. On 29 December 1387, Henry le Despenser, Bishop of Norwich, obtained a licence to crenellate the church. He then fortified the structure into a double-moated castle. The castle fell into disrepair during the 16th century and, by the 19th century, nothing was visible above ground. Present English Heritage, which currently stewards the site, excavated it during the 1970s, revealing the earthworks and ruins. Remains of a kitchen hearth, arches, cathedral towers, and walls are all visible. Visitation of the ruins is free and open year-round. The castle is a grade I listed building and a scheduled monument. Debate There is debate over some of the ruins at the site. Though it is known for certain that part of the ruins are from the castle and 11th-century church, the building which stood there prior to it is in doubt. It was thought to have been the site of a Saxon cathedral built of stone and flint, and used as the seat of the bishops of East Anglia during the late Anglo-Saxon period until 1075. Architectural historians now believe that though an Anglo-Saxon church made of timber did exist on the site, the stone remains are actually of a Norman chapel built after the Norman invasion.

Novello Theatre

Il Novello Theatre è un teatro sito nella città di Westminster del West End di Londra. Il teatro aprì al pubblico nel 1905 con il nome di Waldorf Theatre e nel corso della sua storia cambiò più volte il nome: fu lo Stand Theatre dal 1909 al 1911, quando tornò a chiamarsi Waldorf Theatre, prima di riprendere il nome di Strand Theatre dal 1913 al 2005, quando fu ribattezzato Novello Theatre. Storia L'architetto W.G.R. Sprague progettò il teatro come gemello dell'Aldwych Theatre, situato dal lato opposto del Waldorf Hilton Hotel rispetto al Novello. Il teatro aprì al pubblico il 22 maggio 1905 e nel corso della sua storia ospitò diversi allestimenti di grande successo. La prima britannica della commedia nera Arsenico e vecchi merletti debuttò proprio in questo teatro negli anni 40 e fu un successo da oltre milletrecento rappresentazioni. Nel 1963 il teatro ospitò il musical di Stephen Sondheim A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, che continuò a replicare per quasi due anni. Anche la prima produzione del dramma di Tom Stoppard The Real Thing fu un grande successo di critica e pubblico, tanto da rimanere in scena dal novembre 1982 al febbraio 1985. Il teatro fu ristrutturato nel 1930 e poi ancora nei primi anni 70, quando fu riconosciuto come monumento classificato di secondo grado. Nel 2005 il teatro fu acquistato da Cameron Mackintosh, che lo fece ristrutturare e lo ribattezzò Novello Theatre, in memoria dell'attore Ivor Novello, che visse in un appartamento sopra il teatro dal 1913 al 1951. La Royal Shakespeare Company portò diverse delle sue produzioni in scena al Novello Theatre dal 2005 al 2009 e tra esse anche apprezzate produzioni di Molto rumore per nulla, Antonio e Cleopatra e La tempesta. Nel 2009 il musical Spring Awakening in scena al Novello vinse il Laurence Olivier Award al miglior nuovo musical. Dal 2012 il musical il teatro ospita il musical degli ABBA Mamma Mia!.

Old St John the Baptist's Church, Pilling

Old St John the Baptist's Church is a redundant Anglican church in the village of Pilling, Lancashire, England. It stands 160 yards (150 m) to the south of the new church, also dedicated to St John the Baptist. The church is "an unusual survival of a small Georgian church". It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and it is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. History The village was originally served by a small medieval chapel (28 ft (8.5 m) by 19 ft 6 in (5.94 m)), serviced until the Dissolution by the canons of Cockersand Abbey. In 1716 the parishioners of Pilling petitioned the Bishop of Chester for a new church. In response, St John's was built in 1717. The only structural alteration since then was the raising of the walls in 1813 to accommodate galleries. It became redundant when the new church was built in 1887. The church was vested in the Trust on 1 August 1986. St John's is termed a chapel, rather than a church, due to its being a parochial chapelry in the parish of Garstang, served by a perpetual curate as opposed to a vicar. Architecture Exterior The church is constructed in red sandstone, with a plinth, chamfered quoins, and other dressings in grey sandstone. The roof is slate. It is a simple building, long and low. On the west gable is a double bellcote. The church has five bays. On the south front is a single row of windows with round heads and a single chamfered mullion. In the westernmost bay is a door over which is a smaller similar window, but with no mullion. The door has a keystone inscribed with the date 1717, over which is a sandstone sundial with a plaque including the date 1766. The east window is similar to the windows in the south wall, but with two mullions. The north wall has two tiers of five windows; the lower windows have flat lintels, and the upper row consists of lunette windows. Interior The interior has a flat plaster ceiling. The walls are whitewashed and the church is floored with stone flags. There are galleries on the north and west sides, carried on Tuscan-style columns, and on the ground floor there are fixed simple oak benches, box pews (one of which carries the date 1719), and a two-decker pulpit. The sandstone font dates from the 18th century and is in the shape of an urn. The Royal coat of arms of King George I dated 1719 are displayed in a hatchment. Before the alteration of the roof in 1813, the chapel was open to the rafters. The pulpit was originally three-tier and was located against the north wall. External features The churchyard contains the war graves of two soldiers and a merchant sailor of World War I.
