St Thomas' Hospital, Scarborough

St Thomas' Hospital is a historic building in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The building was constructed in 1861 as the Royal Northern Sea Bathing Infirmary. It accommodated up to 52 poor patients from across northern England, in order that they could take part in sea bathing as part of their treatment. The building was designed by William Baldwin Stewart, in the Italianate style. The ground floor contained saltwater baths, administrative rooms and kitchens, while there were wards on the upper floors. The building was later extended to the right. During World War I and World War II, the building served as a military hospital. The building was grade II listed in 1973, by which time it had been renamed "St Thomas' Hospital". The hospital later closed, and the ground floor was converted into six shops, while the upper floors became disused. In 2019, the property was marketed for sale for £2.25 million, with planning permission to convert the upper floors into flats. The building is constructed of yellow brick with overhanging eaves and a slate roof. It has three storeys, a central range of three bays, projecting wide gabled cross-wings, and a two-bay extension on the right. The ground floor contains modern shopfronts. On the cross-wings are segmental-arched recesses each containing three round-arched windows in both floors, the middle ones with keystones. The central range contains French windows, and each floor has a cast iron balcony. On the extension are segmental-arched windows with keystones.

St Philip and St James' Church, Clifton

St Philip and St James' Church is a parish church in Clifton, a suburb of inner northern York, in England. Until the mid-19th century, Clifton fell mostly within the parish of St Olave's Church, and also a detached part of the parish of St Michael le Belfrey. The heirs of Thomas de Grey, 2nd Earl de Grey donated a site by Clifton Green for the construction of a church. It was designed by George Fowler Jones, and was completed in 1867, at a cost of £3,800. It was given its own parish in 1871. The church celebrated its centenary in 1967 by commissioning Kenneth Leighton to write a hymn, "O God, enfold me in the sun". Between 1984 and 1989, the church was reordered by Ronald Sims, who replaced the pews with chairs, and converted the chancel and transepts into meeting rooms. The building was grade II listed in 1997. Nikolaus Pevsner was critical of the design, describing a "ponderous west tower", but praised the "excellent fittings in a plainer Pace style". The church is in the Early English style, and is built of stone, with slate roofs, topped by a stone cross and finials. It comprises a five-bay nave, a two-bay chancel, north and south transepts, a west tower, and a south porch. On the north side is a half-hexagonal staircase turret, and a vestry. Most of the windows are lancets, some in groups of three, while the west window has a trefoil head. and many of the bays are divided by buttresses. The main entrance is on the north side and has 20th-century double doors. Inside there is a hammerbeam roof, with carved and gilded angels attached to the westernmost bay. The window in the north transept has stained glass by Clayton and Bell, while the east window of the south transept is by John Ward Knowles, and other windows have plain glass designed by Sims.

York Magistrates' Court

York and Selby Magistrates’ Court is a Grade II listed building on Clifford Street, York. History and architecture The foundation stone for the new Courts of Justice was laid on 16 July 1890 by Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale. The Magistrates’ Court was built between 1890 and 1892 to the designs of the architects Huon Arthur Matear and Henry Bloomfield Bare. The quantity surveyor was Charles Wise of Liverpool and the contract for construction was let to Parker and Sharpe of York. The cost of construction was £17,050 (equivalent to £1,873,000 in 2025). They were opened on 19 October 1892 by the Lord Mayor of York, John Close who unveiled a bust of the late Duke of Clarence which had been sculpted by Francis John Williamson. The style of the building was a free treatment of Gothic architecture with the main entrance on Clifford Street and a projecting bay at each end carried up to octagonal turrets enriched with carved stonework at a greater height that the remainder of the facade. In the apex of the pediment is carved the arms of the city of York and above them a figure of Justice holding the scales. Behind is a clock tower. References
St Sampson's Church, York

St Sampson's Church is a former parish church in the city centre of York, England. It lies on Church Street, near St Sampson's Square. The church sits across the line of the wall of Roman Eboracum, and the first church on the site was probably built before the Norman Conquest, as a fragment of an early 11th-century cross has been found in the wall of a house on Newgate, within the former churchyard. Foundations of a Norman wall have also been discovered underneath the present church. The church was first recorded in 1154, and from 1394 the advowson belonged to the Vicars Choral of York Minster. It is dedicated to Saint Sampson of York, the only church in England with this dedication. The church was gradually rebuilt in the 15th century, the south aisle being rebuilt in the 1400s, and the north aisle dating in the 1440s, while the west tower was rebuilt in the 1480s. In the 1549, there was a plan to merge the parish with that of St Helen, Stonegate, and although this did not happen, St Sampson did gain two bells from St Helen. In 1644, the tower was damaged during the English Civil War, and the Parliamentarian troops subsequently destroyed most of the monuments in the church. Between 1845 and 1848, most of the church was rebuilt by Frederick Bell but kept with the Gothic style, and a vestry was added. Because of this work, the church is considered to be more Victorian in construction than medieval. The tower survived, but was reduced in height, being heightened again in 1910. Other pre-Victorian elements of the church include the east window of the north aisle, some roof bosses, the bell-frame and bells, the north and south doors, the piscina, and various monuments. In 1969, the church closed, and many of its fittings were removed. However, it was restored by George Pace, and in 1974 it reopened as a centre for the elderly. He inserted a mezzanine floor over the north aisle, to give space for offices, and placed a kitchen in the south aisle. The sanctuary was converted into a chapel, with a reredos from All Saints, Falsgrove. The church was listed as Grade II in June 1954. References External links Official website
22–26 Blossom Street

22–26 Blossom Street is a historic building immediately west of the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed on Blossom Street in 1789. It was built for the wine merchant John Horner, as a pair of houses, with a central passageway leading to a warehouse at the rear. Horner lived in the smaller of the two houses, and leased the larger to another wine merchant. The building was altered in the early 19th century. Later residents included the architects Charles Watson and James Pigott Pritchett, and the shopkeeper Joseph Rowntree and his family. In 1888 it was purchased by the North Eastern Railway (NER), which used the larger house as the residence of the stationmaster at York railway station, and the smaller house for one of its inspectors. In 1934 the NER's successor sold the property for conversion into the York Railwaymen's Club. The two houses were combined, the dividing walls on the ground floor of the larger house being demolished, along with all the first floor dividing walls. The entire property was grade II listed in 1971. The building was later used as the New York Working Men's Club. This closed in 2019, and the building was converted into seven holiday lets, with a further seven in a newly constructed block at the rear. The building is constructed of painted brick, with a slate roof. It is three storeys high and five bays wide, and almost all the windows are sashes. There is a timber entablature from bays 1 to 3, supported to the left by a pilaster and to the right by pilasters either side of the entrance. To the left are three cellar entrances, now partly blocked. There is a lead rainwater head and downpipe, a dentilled and modillioned cornice gutter, and two chimneys. Inside, some fittings in a Regency style survive, probably designed by Watson or Pritchett. See also Listed buildings in York (outside the city walls, southern part) References

Corn Exchange, Salisbury

The Corn Exchange, formerly the Market Hall, is a commercial building in the Market Place, Salisbury, Wiltshire, England. The structure, which accommodates a small shopping mall, a public library and an art gallery, is a Grade II listed building. History In the mid-19th century, a group of local businessmen decided to form a private company, known as the "Salisbury Railway and Market House Company", to finance and commission a purpose-built market hall for the town. The site they chose, on the west side of the Market Place, had been occupied by the Maidenhead Inn, and was enclosed at the back by the River Avon. In order to maximise use of the market hall, they decided to build a branch railway line between Salisbury railway station and the market hall. The scheme was authorised by the Salisbury Railway and Market House Act 1856 (19 & 20 Vict. c. xciii). The new building was designed by the chief engineer of the London and South Western Railway, John Strapp, in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone and was officially opened on 24 May 1859. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of three bays facing onto the Market Place. The central bay featured a large round headed opening with voussoirs, flanked by banded pilasters supporting an entablature and a pediment with a clock in the tympanum. The outer bays contained slightly smaller openings with voussoirs and cast iron gates made by Hill & Smith, flanked by pilasters supporting an entablature, a cornice and a parapet. Internally, the principal room was the main hall. The 1st Corps, Wiltshire Rifle Volunteer Corps, part of the Volunteer Force, used the market hall for drill practice after it was raised in 1860. The building was subsequently re-branded as the "Corn Exchange", although the use of the building as a corn exchange declined significantly in the wake of the Great Depression of British Agriculture in the late 19th century. The branch railway line was not affected by the nationalisation of British Railways in 1948, but was closed, following the implementation of the Beeching cuts, in 1964. The building continued to sell agricultural products, albeit in smaller volumes, until the site was sold to New Sarum City Council in 1969 by the Salisbury Railway and Market House Act 1969 (c. xviii), and then redeveloped in the early 1970s. The façade was retained and a small shopping mall known as the "Market Walk" was created through the left-hand opening. The central and right-hand bays were used to accommodate a public library and an art gallery, both of which relocated from buildings in Chipper Lane. The art gallery, known as the "Young Gallery", had been established to exhibit a collection of paintings assembled by a collector, Edwin Young, which had been donated to the city in 1912.

Reigate Town Hall

Reigate Town Hall is a municipal building in Castlefield Road, Reigate, Surrey, England. The town hall, which is the meeting place of Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, is a Grade II listed building. History The building was commissioned to replace the old town hall with had been built on the north side of the High Street in 1798. After civic leaders found that the old building was inadequate for their needs, they decided to procure a new town hall: the site they selected had previously been open land to the east of Reigate Castle. The new town hall was designed by Macintosh and Newman in the Arts and Crafts style, built at a cost of £25,000 and completed in 1901. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with twelve bays facing onto Castlefield Road with the end three bays at each end projected forward as pavilions with hipped roofs and turrets; the central section of six bays featured a doorway in the penultimate bay from the left which gave access to the municipal buildings wing located on the left, as well as a doorway in the penultimate bay from the right which gave access to the courthouse and police wing located on the right. Above the two doorways were modified stained glass Venetian windows (decorated with rose motifs on the municipal buildings side and the Royal coat of arms on the courthouse side) with gables above. Internally, the principal rooms were the council chamber, which was decorated in an Art Nouveau style with a fine ceiling, in the municipal buildings wing, and the magistrates' court, which was oak panelled, in the courthouse wing. The fire station, which featured a four-storey tower with a pagoda style roof, formed a separate structure to the left. After the First World War, a memorial board was hung on a wall in the town hall to commemorate the lives of local service personnel who had died in the war. The building served as the headquarters of Reigate Municipal Borough Council and remained the local seat of government when the enlarged Reigate and Banstead Borough Council was formed in 1974. The borough council secured access to the whole complex once the police had moved to Cherchefelle in 1943, the fire service had moved to Croydon Road in 1955 and the courts service had moved to Hatchlands Road in the early 1970s. Works of art in the town hall include a landscape by Henry Tanworth Wells depicting a cart being loaded at a quarry at Holmbury Hill and painting by George Hooper depicting a garden at Loxwood.

In July 2025 it was found that no further works had started and they were fined an additional £124,800 which amounted to £500 per day since the original prosecution. References
St Stephen's Church, Woodville

St Stephen's Church, Woodville is a Grade II listed parish church in the Church of England in Woodville, Derbyshire. History The desire for a church in Woodville was first expressed at a meeting on St Stephen's day in 1843, and this prompted the construction of the church, and the dedication was selected based on the day of that initial meeting. The church was built on a one-acre plot of land given by Barbara Rawdon-Hastings, Marchioness of Hastings to the designs of the architect Henry Isaac Stevens. The corner stone was laid on 7 November 1845 by Richard Curzon-Howe, 1st Earl Howe, in the presence of Hon. Capt. Curzon and the Rev. Marmaduke Vavasour. Transept arches were built into the walls to provide for any future enlargement. The apse was laid with Minton black, buff and red encaustic tiles. It was consecrated by the Bishop of Peterborough, Rt. Revd. George Davys on 8 December 1846. Parish status The church is in a joint parish with St Margaret's Church, Blackfordby Organ A pipe organ was built by Albert E Pease.

Christ Church, Theale

Christ Church is a Church of England church in Theale, Somerset, England. It was built in 1826–28 to the design of Richard Carver and is a Grade II listed building. History Christ Church was built as a chapel of ease to the parish church of St Mary in Wedmore. As a result of the growing population of the parish during the early 19th century, the vicar of Wedmore, Rev. John Richards, sought to provide additional church accommodation for the outlying parts of the parish. The population of Wedmore had reached over 3,000 by 1824 and the parish church was only capable of accommodating 700 people. A chapel of ease for the hamlet of Blackford (Holy Trinity) was opened in 1823 and efforts then concentrated on a church at Theale. Plans for the church were drawn up by Richard Carver, and the foundation stone was laid in January 1826 by Rev. James Richards, brother and successor of Rev. John Richards as vicar of Wedmore. The church was consecrated by the Bishop of Bath and Wells, the Right Rev. George Henry Law, on 7 January 1828. Following the consecration, a "most impressive and highly appropriate" sermon was provided by the Bishop of Lichfield, the Right Rev. Henry Ryder. The completed church provided approximately 200 free sittings for use of the poor, and also served the small settlements of Panborough and Bagley. Theale was made its own ecclesiastical parish on 11 October 1844. A new organ built by Messrs. Sweetland of Bath was opened at the church on 22 December 1884. A new font was consecrated at the church on 24 May 1959 by the vicar of Mark, Rev. W. T. Morris. The font was gifted by relatives in memory of Rev. William Jolliffe Thomas, a former vicar of Theale, Mr. E. H. Thomas and Mrs. G. Thomas. Architecture Christ Church is built of rendered Wedmore stone and a flat slate roof. It is made up of a nave, chancel and south porch. The west end has a bell-cot containing one bell. The church has an oblong shape, with projecting sections at all four corners. The main entrance has a semi-octagonal porch of ashlar stone. The gallery displays the Hanoverian arms. In his 1958 book South and West Somerset, Nikolaus Pevsner described the chancel and its glazing as being reminiscent of "the bow-window of a house", which created a "surprising and attractive effect". Fittings of the church include a painted reredos, an early 19th-century pulpit and altar table, 17th-century coffin stools, a 19th-century organ and a 20th-century font. The churchyard contains Theale's war memorial, which was designated a Grade II listed monument in 2016. The stone column was erected after World War I and was later altered to add additional names after World War II. References External links Media related to Christ Church, Theale at Wikimedia Commons
