Torpoint Community College

About Torpoint Community College (often referred to as 'TCC') is a secondary school in south-east Cornwall, England. It educates 775 students aged 11 to 18. It started life as a 'secondary modern' school before becoming a comprehensive in the 1960s. Traditionally students lived exclusively in the Torpoint and Rame Peninsula, more recently they have been joined by a number of students travelling from Plymouth via the ferry over the River Tamar. The school's most notable former pupils include Sheryll Murray, Conservative Member of Parliament for South East Cornwall & Jack Stephens (footballer). Further Education (Sixth Form) TCC's Sixth Form was opened in the late 1990s (prior to which pupils left school at 16 with some continuing their educations elsewhere) and offers a wide range of AS and A Level subjects for post-16 students. However during the next academic year (2026-27), the sixth form will be put on a temporary closure due to a low number of interested students. The school will still accept their current year 12 students to transition to year 13 and finish their studies. References

Torr Vale Mill

Torr Vale Mill is a Grade II* listed former cotton mill located in New Mills, Derbyshire, England, on a small rocky outcrop at the bottom of the Torrs gorge in a bend of the River Goyt. The mill was built in the late 1780s by Daniel Strafford and was known as Strafford's Mill. It was powered by two waterwheels to spin and weave cotton. It was rebuilt in 1856 and a steam engine was added. It continued to be driven by steam and water till the 1940s when electricity took over. It was still in use producing towelling products until December 2000, the longest continuous period of cotton production in the UK. Since 1998 there have been various plans by the new owner, Chemquip Ltd., to renovate and develop the mill. This is now well underway and the new events floor has been used extensively by the community for a wide range of events. The Torr Vale Mill Preservation Trust in May 2001 and The Princes Regeneration Trust has also been seeking a solution. In 2000 Torr Vale Mill was depicted on Royal Mail postage stamps to commemorate the Millennium Walkway in the Torrs Gorge. From this walkway, on the opposite side of the Gorge, dramatic views of the Mill may be had. In 2001 a fire destroyed one of the buildings of the mill. The mill remains in a lamentable state and, though now better secured, is at risk of further fire and vandalism. In 2010, Chad Bevan, a New Mills resident, won the Munro Trophy in the Derbyshire Open Arts Competition for his painting of the decaying Torr Vale Mill, the title being 'Lowes Mill'. The Mill is on the English Heritage Heritage at Risk Register of Listed Buildings at risk through disuse and disrepair. The local Heritage Centre Trust is actively engaged in trying to secure the future of this abandoned building. References
Torr Works

Torr Works quarry, grid reference ST695446 is a limestone quarry at East Cranmore, near Shepton Mallet on the Mendip Hills, Somerset, England. The quarry was formerly known as Merehead, a name which has been retained for its rail depot on the opposite side of the A361 road. Geology The site, located not far from a limestone deposit, covers an area of some 205 hectares, including 60 hectares which have been landscaped to blend with the surrounding countryside. A geodiversity audit of the site in 2004 recorded pale to dark grey well bedded Carboniferous Limestone dipping consistently southwards with a small area of overlying horizontally bedded buff-coloured Jurassic oolitic limestone forming an angular unconformity. History In 1938 the recently opened Merehead Quarry was taken over by Limmer and Trinidad. Twenty-five men were employed at the time. In 1958 the quarry was sold to Foster Yeoman who had been working Dulcote Quarry near Wells. The quarry was renamed Torr Works (after Ron Torr, the Chief Engineer) on 19 August 1970. It has been operated by Aggregate Industries since their take over of Foster Yeoman in 2006. The site employs over 250 people and produces 7.5 million tonnes of limestone annually which is carried directly from the quarry by Mendip Rail. Merehead rail terminal The quarry was connected to the East Somerset Branch in 1970 and the first train operated from the quarry on 19 August 1970.

Old Sarum

Old Sarum er navnet på den ældste bosættelse i byen Salisbury i England. På stedet er der fundet rester af menneskelig beboelse fra så tidligt som 3000 f.kr. Old Sarum er nævnt i nogle af de tidligste bevarede skriftlige kilder i England. Bebyggelsen findes på toppen af en bakke ved navn Sarum, der befinder sig ca. 3 km nord for centrum af det nuværende Salisbury. På området var bygget en katedral under Normannerne, men den blev revet ned i 1219 til fordel for den nye Salisbury Cathedral. Fra Edvard 2.s regeringstid, var to medlemmer af House of Commons valgt i Old Sarum. Dette fortsatte på trods af, at der fra det 17. århundrede ikke var fastboende vælgere i byen. I 1831 var der elleve vælgere, der alle var jordejere med bopæl andre steder. Dette gjorde Old Sarum til et af de mest berygtede rotten borough. Den engelske parlamentsreform i 1832 nedlagde Old Sarum som valgkreds. English Heritage ejer i dag området, som er åbent for offentligheden.

Old Sarum

Old Sarum son las ruinas de un asentamiento desierto sobre una colina situada aproximadamente a dos millas al norte de Salisbury, en Inglaterra.​ Contiene evidencias de presencia humana alrededor del año 3000 a. C.​ Es mencionado en muchos libros antiguos sobre el país. Hasta 1832 fue uno de los más significativos burgos podridos, dado que a pesar de la escasísima población de su distrito (siete electores) continuaba enviando dos miembros a la Cámara de los Comunes, como en la Edad Media, cuando era una ciudad catedralicia de relativa importancia, que con el tiempo se abandonó en beneficio de la vecina Salisbury.​​ Old Sarum era originariamente una colina-fuerte situado estratégicamente en la conjunción de dos caminos y el río Avon en Hampshire.​ Actualmente existe un museo administrado por English Heritage que está abierto al público en la carretera del Castillo a dos millas al norte de Salisbury vía A345.​ Historia Los restos arqueológicos indican que el lugar fue ocupado desde el Neolítico alrededor del 3000 a. C. ​Hay evidencias de que la colina fue ocupada por cazadores, primero, y más tarde por agricultores. Se construyó un fuerte en la colina que protegía la zona y fue construida por la población local durante la Edad de Hierro alrededor del año 500 a. C. que habitaron la colina por su capacidad defensiva.​ Numerosas fortificaciones han sido encontradas en el mismo periodo en la zona, incluyendo el Figsbury Ring en el este y el Campo de Vespasiano en el norte. El arqueólogo Sir R.C. Hoare describió Old Sarum como "una ciudad de un periodo remoto con muchos túmulos cerca de ella y con dos grandes piedras circulares alrededor, como son Stonehenge y Avebury."​​ Los romanos, que ocuparon las islas británicas entre el 43 y el 410, crearon en el sitio una estación militar, estratégicamente situada cerca de la convergencia de cinco importantes rutas. ​El fuerte de la colina fue marcado en los mapas romanos con el nombre de Sorviodunum.​ Referencias Enlaces externos Información de Old Sarum Torre medieval y Salisbury Página oficial de turismo en Salisbury
Old Sarum

Old Sarum est un ancien site de peuplement du Wiltshire, en Angleterre. La présence humaine y est attestée depuis la préhistoire, au XXXe siècle av. J.-C. Old Sarum est mentionnée dans certains des plus anciens documents écrits du pays. Il est situé sur une colline à environ trois kilomètres au nord de l'actuelle ville de Salisbury. Histoire Les origines celtes et romaines Old Sarum est à l'origine un oppidum occupant une position stratégique, sur une colline à l'intersection de deux voies de communication et de la rivière Avon, au pays des Durotriges. Dans la province romaine de Britannia, le site est appelé Sorbiodunum. Moyen Âge Les Saxons prennent le fort britannique au VIe siècle et l'utilisent plus tard comme bastion contre les incursions des Vikings. Les Normands construisent la motte castrale, puis le château fort et la cathédrale, entourés d'habitations et d'une seconde enceinte : Old Sarum présente alors une forme ovale d'environ 390 × 360 m. La grande enceinte se compose d'une muraille et d'un fossé avec une entrée du côté est. C’est sur ce site qu’Aliénor d'Aquitaine est enfermée en 1174 par son époux le roi Henri II, après la révolte de 1173-1174. Au XIIIe siècle, l'évêché est transféré à Salisbury, où la nouvelle cathédrale épiscopale est bâtie, tandis que celle d'Old Sarum n'est plus entretenue. Un « bourg pourri » Old Sarum était, aux XVIIIe siècle et XIXe siècle, l'un des plus célèbres « bourgs pourris », participant à la grande corruption des élections aux Communes de Grande-Bretagne, puisqu'avec très peu d'habitants, et pas plus de 10 à 20 votants, il était en mesure d'envoyer deux représentants à la chambre basse du Parlement. Le site est abandonné depuis la fin du XIXe siècle au profit de Salisbury. Il reste aujourd'hui inhabité. Old Sarum dans la culture Vers 1829, le peintre paysagiste John Constable représente Old Sarum comme une forteresse se découpant au loin dans le paysage.

Старый Сарум

Старый Сарум (лат. Sorbiodunum) — название древнего поселения, из которого в Англии развился сегодняшний город Солсбери. В местах, где он существовал, найдены свидетельства постоянного поселения людей примерно с 3000 г. до н. э. Старый Сарум является одним из старейших поселений, которые упоминаются в исторических источниках, связанных с Великобританией. Он расположен на холме, примерно в трёх километрах к северу от современного Солсбери, недалеко от дороги A345. Старый Сарум упоминается в исторических источниках как крепость на холме, характерном для железного века. Он располагался в стратегическом месте пересечения двух торговых путей и реки Эйвон. Городская стена имела овальную форму — 400 м и 360 м в поперечнике соответственно — и была окружена двумя зубчатыми стенами и рвом между ними, со входом на востоке. После завоевания римлянами город получил название Sorviodunum. Позже саксы использовали его как оплот в борьбе против викингских набегов. Норманны построили вокруг него большую каменную стену, а затем сделали искусственное возвышение, где был построен замок; он был защищён глубоким рвом. В самом замке был построен дворец для короля Генриха I, который позже использовался монархами династии Плантагенетов. На западном краю города норманны построили собор и епископский дворец. Этот собор был разрушен в 1219 году для того, чтобы построить новый возле реки. По этой причине горожане Старого Сарума переехали на новое место, получившее название Новый Солсбери или Новый Сарум. Замок со временем перестал использоваться, и король Генрих VIII снёс его, чтобы воспользоваться строительным материалом. Хотя он был необитаемым не только фактически, но и формально, Старый Сарум сохранял официальное представительство в парламенте вплоть до XIX века, став самым печально известным из всех так называемых «гнилых городов», существовавших до закона о реформе 1832 года. Сегодня он принадлежит общественной организации «Английское наследие» и открыт для публики. Примечания Ссылки Old Sarum information at English Heritage
Tortworth Court

Tortworth Court is a Victorian mansion in Tortworth near Thornbury, South Gloucestershire. England. It was built in Tudor style for the 2nd Earl of Ducie. It is a Grade II* listed building. History The mansion was built, in Tudor style, for the 2nd Earl of Ducie between 1848 and 1853. Its architect was Samuel Sanders Teulon. During World War II the mansion became a naval training base for coding and signals, under the name of HMS Cabbala, and a mast was erected in the high reception hall. After the war, the buildings constructed for the hospital and, for a time the house itself, became HM Prison Leyhill. Tortworth Court was then used as a training school for prison officers. The property was designated a Grade II* listed by English Heritage on 9 July 1991. By the 1990s, however, it had become derelict, and suffered a large fire in 1991. It was thereafter restored to its original style and extended at a reputed cost of £20 million. In June 2001 it reopened as a hotel operated by Principal Hotel Company and is now operated by De Vere. Arboretum Tortworth Court is especially notable for its extensive arboretum developed by the 3rd Earl of Ducie, who began planting upon inheriting the property from his father in 1853 and continued until his death in 1921. The collection has fine examples of rhododendron, conifer, oak and maple. The arboretum once surrounded the property and continues to be maintained and supported. Accessible by a public footpath, it is now divided between the hotel grounds, the grounds of Leyhill Prison, the Dell which is privately owned and managed as a community woodland by Tortworth Forest Centre CIC, and private land still owned and farmed by the Ducie family. Rivalling at the time the collection of George Holford at nearby Westonbirt Arboretum, it still contains, despite the ravages of time, more than 300 specimens, including unusual and rare species and many fine specimen trees. Tortworth Court gave its name to Saint class steam locomotive No. 2955 operated by the Great Western Railway.

Tortworth Court

Tortworth Court est un manoir victorien situé à Tortworth, près de Thornbury, dans le sud du Gloucestershire, Angleterre. Il est construit dans le style Tudor pour Henry Reynolds-Moreton (2e comte de Ducie). Il s'agit d'un bâtiment classé Grade II*. Histoire Le manoir est construit, dans le style Tudor, pour le 2e comte de Ducie entre 1848 et 1853. Son architecte est Samuel Sanders Teulon. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale le manoir devient une base d'entraînement navale pour le codage et les signaux, sous le nom de HMS Cabbala, et un mât est érigé dans la haute salle de réception. Après la guerre, les bâtiments construits pour l'hôpital et, pendant un temps, la maison elle-même, deviennent la Prison Leyhill. Tortworth Court est ensuite utilisé comme école de formation pour les agents pénitentiaires. La propriété est classée Grade II * par English Heritage le 9 juillet 1991. Dans les années 1990, cependant, il est abandonné et subit un grand incendie en 1991. Il est ensuite restauré dans son style d'origine et agrandit pour un coût réputé de 20 millions de livres sterling. En juin 2001, il ouvre ses portes en tant qu'hôtel exploité par Principal Hotel Company. Arboretum Tortworth Court est particulièrement remarquable pour son vaste arboretum développé par Henry Reynolds-Moreton (3e comte de Ducie), qui commence à planter après avoir hérité de la propriété de son père en 1853 et continue jusqu'à sa mort en 1921. La collection a de beaux exemples de rhododendrons, de conifères, de chênes et d'érables. L'arboretum entourait autrefois la propriété et continue d'être entretenu. Accessible par un sentier public, il est maintenant divisé entre le terrain de l'hôtel, le terrain de la prison de Leyhill, le Dell qui est une propriété privée et gérée comme un bois communautaire par Tortworth Forest Centre CIC, et un terrain privé toujours détenu et exploité par la famille Ducie. Rivalisant à l'époque avec la collection de George Holford à l'arboretum voisin de Westonbirt, elle contient encore, malgré les ravages du temps, plus de 300 spécimens, dont des espèces inhabituelles et rares et de nombreux beaux spécimens d'arbres. Tortworth Court donne son nom à la locomotive à vapeur de la classe Saint n ° 2955 exploitée par le Great Western Railway.

Totnes Guildhall

Totnes Guildhall is a 16th-century Tudor historic guildhall, magistrate's court, and prison, in the town of Totnes, south Devon, in southwest England. It is a Grade I listed building. History After Totnes was granted a charter by King John enabling the town to makes its own bylaws in 1206, the merchants of the town secured permission to establish a guild and constructed their original guildhall in the High Street. The old guildhall became a place for measuring and stamping cloth in the late 16th century and was then rebuilt as a private residence in 1719. The current building was originally part of Totnes Priory, which had been established by Juhel de Totnes, feudal baron of Totnes. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries by King Henry VIII in the 1540s, his successor, King Edward VI, granted Totnes a charter, in 1553, allowing one of the former priory buildings, which had been used as the monks' refectory, to be converted into a guildhall. Part of the first floor of the building was converted for use as a magistrates' court in 1624. Soldiers were billeted in the building during the English Civil War: the council chamber at the west end of the first floor hosted a meeting between Oliver Cromwell and Thomas Fairfax at the oak tables there in 1646. The lower hall was used as a public meeting room as evidenced by the names of over 600 town mayors, who have served since 1359, listed on its walls. After prison cells had been built in the basement, the building was also used as the town gaol until 1887. The building was extended to the east by the addition of a loggia in front of the original building in 1897: the extension was designed with Doric order columns which had been recovered from the Exchange which had been demolished in 1878. Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, visited the guildhall in July 1962. The council chamber continued to be used as the meeting place of the borough of Totnes but ceased to be the local seat of government after the formation of South Hams District Council under the Local Government Act 1972; the magistrates' court continued to be used for court hearings until 1974. Current use The building continues to be used by Totnes Town Council for meetings and other ceremonial events. It is also open to the public during weekdays. See also Guild Guildhall References
