Gardens There are eight acres of landscaped ornamental gardens with an alpine garden, formal knot garden, herbaceous borders, riverside walk, rose garden, and water-lily canal. There are also five acres of orchards, and two collections of saxifrages which are accredited with Plant Heritage under the National Plant Collection scheme. The gardens are considered notable for the broad variety of snowdrops that grow in the spring. The Museum of Rural Life is housed in an 18th-century granary building, with displays of implements and tools. Other facilities include a gallery, garden shop, gift shop, museum, plant centre, and tea shop. In popular culture Since 2017, the Waterperry Opera Festival has taken place in the grounds and the house.

The Clermont, Victoria

The Clermont, Victoria, originally known as The Grosvenor Hotel, is a historic hotel in Victoria, London opened in 1862. It is Grade II* listed for its architectural and historic interest, being cited as "one of the first buildings in London to use a French pavilion roof". History With Victoria station being opened in 1860, the hotel was built to service travellers with one of its entrances leading into the station concourse. It was developed by John Kelk who had been involved in construction of the Victoria Station and Pimlico Railway and would also develop much of the Grosvenor Gardens area. In 2025, plans for a nearby playground were advised against with the Grade II* listed hotel's view being harmed as one of the cited reasons, although it was stated not to be a primary concern. Architecture The hotel is built largely of yellow brick and Bath stone with rustication on the ground floor. Designed by James Thomas Knowles, the hotel's design is eclectic in style but mainly pulls on motifs of French Renaissance and Baroque as well as Italianate architecture. Its French Renaissance inspired design set the precedent for the later developments of similar character and style in the nearby Grosvenor Gardens with Thomas Cundy III serving as their architect. Together they make up the Grosvenor Gardens conservation area. References

St Andrew's Church, Wimpole

St Andrew's Church, Wimpole is a Grade II* listed building in Wimpole, Cambridgeshire, England. It remains an active parish church within the Orwell Group of Parishes, holding services on the first and third Sundays of each month. The church is next-door to Wimpole Hall, the largest house in Cambridgeshire. The church dates from medieval times but the current building is mainly the result of a rebuilding project in the 18th century carried out by one of the owners of the hall, the Earl of Hardwicke. The Earl's architect was Henry Flitcroft, who demolished the medieval church on the site apart from the north chapel (sometimes known as the Chicheley Chantry), which was incorporated in the new building. The part of the church nearest the house is faced in stone, but the rest of the structure is mainly in red brick. There are a number of monuments in the church including one by John Flaxman. A stained-glass window commemorates Thomas Agar-Robartes, one of a number of MPs who were killed in World War I, and his mother Mary, Viscountess Clifton. In the graveyard is a monument to Elsie Bambridge, the daughter of Rudyard Kipling, who left Wimpole Hall to the National Trust. Organ There is an organ in the west gallery. When it was inspected for the National Pipe Organ Register in the 1980s, it was not possible to date the case, but it contained a 19th-century Brindley & Foster instrument "in a dreadful state". The organ has since been rebuilt, using material salvaged from another instrument. It still retains the diapason pipes from the Brindley & Foster organ. Access The Wimpole Estate is managed by the National Trust as a tourist attraction, but the church does not belong to the Trust. References

The current church was designed by the architect S.S.Teulon, who enlarged and redecorated the earlier Georgian church, between 1865 and 1873, giving it the outer appearance of a Greek Byzantine basilica. The interior is a virtuous adaption of medieval (Gothic rather than Romanesque) elements in industrial age cast iron. The new building was consecrated in 1866 by Bishop Tait, the Bishop of London, who praised Teulon's alterations at St Mary's, Ealing, as "the transformation of a Georgian monstrosity into the semblance of a Byzantine Basilica". A vestry was added in 1887, the organ enlarged in 1927, further redecoration in the 1950s and 'The Polygon' created in 1978. Further restoration was completed in 2003. The church contains a good collection of Victorian stained glass windows that were commissioned by Thomas Boddington, who lived at Gunnersbury Lodge, in 1864–74. Old wall tablets and a medieval brass to Richard and Kateryn Amondesham (c.1490) were retained from the old church. The marble and Caen stone reredos was adorned with Salviati mosaics. There is a memorial to John Horne Tooke (d 1812) by Louis Frederick Roslyn and a modern brass to Walrond Jackson, Bishop of Antigua, who died in Ealing in 1895.

St Andrew’s Church (Rugby)

Die der Church of England zugehörige St Andrew’s Church in der mittelenglischen Stadt Rugby in der Grafschaft (county) Warwickshire ist eine Pfarrkirche unter dem Patrozinium des Apostels Andreas; sie ist als Grade-II*-Bauwerk eingestuft und gehört zum Major Churches Network. Lage Die Stadt Rugby liegt ca. 15 km östlich der Großstadt Coventry in einer Höhe von etwa 115 m; die Hauptstadt London befindet sich ca. 130 km (Fahrtstrecke) südöstlich. Die St Andrew’s Church liegt im Stadtzentrum. Geschichte Eine Vorgängerkapelle existierte bereits als Rugby im Jahr 1221 zur Pfarrei (parish) erhoben wurde. Von der Erweiterung der Kirche in der ersten Hälfte des 13. Jahrhunderts sind nur noch der Glockenturm (bell tower) und das unmittelbar anschließende nördliche Seitenschiff (north aisle) erhalten. In der Zeit um 1800 wurde die Kirche zweimal vergrößert. Im vierten Quartal des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde der Neubau der baufällig gewordenen Kirche beschlossen. Als Architekt wählte man William Butterfield, der sich in der neugotischen Architektur einen Namen gemacht hatte; sein Nachfolger wurde Ewan Christian, der im Jahr 1895 den Spitzhelm des insgesamt ca. 55 m hohen neuen Kirchturms fertigstellen konnte. Architektur Ungewöhnlich sind die beiden Glockentürme der Kirche: Der alte Turm ist aus wehrtechnischen Gründen oben mit einem Zinnenkranz umgeben; der neue Turm hat einen von vier Ecktürmchen (pinnacles) umgebenen und nahezu geschlossenen Spitzhelm. Das Innere der Kirche ist dreischiffig, basilikal und vierjochig; auf der Nordseite schließt das alte Seitenschiff an; alle Bauteile sind mit Holzdecken versehen. Langhaus und Chor sind durch Triumphbögen optisch voneinander getrennt. Ausstattung Nur das Taufbecken und eine vierrädrige Kirchentruhe sind alt; ansonsten stammen nahezu alle Teile der Ausstattung aus dem 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert.

St Andrew's Enfield

St Andrew's Enfield is a Church of England church in Enfield, London, and the original parish church of Enfield. It is a grade II* listed building with Historic England. History The first written evidence of there being a parish church in Enfield dates from 1136 when St Andrew's, along with a number of other neighbouring parishes, was endowed to the Monastery at Walden in Essex, now Saffron Walden. In 1190, Abbot Reginald of Walden appointed Robertus to serve as the first Vicar of Enfield. The earliest known existing parts of St Andrew's date from the years immediately following the appointment of Robertus. Part of the east wall of the church and the south wall of the sanctuary date from this period, including the lancet-shaped unglazed window in the south wall of the sanctuary, opening today into the Artillery Chapel. Originally, of course, this south wall formed the external wall of the church and there are even traces in this window aperture of the sockets for the iron framework of the glass. The fourteenth century saw much restoration and major enlargements to the church, including the construction of the north and south aisles (although the south aisle was much lower than the north, being raised to its present height only in 1824). The church tower is also 14th century, although much restored and altered in later years. The arches in the nave date from this same period. The pitch pine pews were installed after much argument and dispute in 1853; the oak clergy and choir stalls in 1908 as a memorial to Prebendary Hodson, Vicar of Enfield from 1870 - 1904, and the painting over the chancel arch in 1923 as a memorial to the men of Enfield who died in the First World War. A curious epitaph in the churchyard to Thomas Carter, who died in 1742, reads: Wail not our fate, wail for thy own;We rest in peace, while you drudge on.

Architecture The hall is constructed in two storeys to an H-shaped plan of yellow gault brick with plain red roof tiles. It originally dates to the 15th century, and some of the roof trusses remain from that era as well as 16th-century ones in the south front roof. The end crosswing gables, three central gables and three service range gables are all in chequered patterned brickwork. In the 1870s the house was completely remodelled by William White and what is believed to be decorator Thomas Gambier Parry, who decorated and painted the drawing room, dining room and library. Gambier Parry was staying in the vicinity during his work on Ely Cathedral. 18th-century doors remain on the dining room. Both of the staircases and fireplaces were designed by White. References

St Francis of Assisi Church, Shefford

St Francis of Assisi Church is a Catholic parish church in Shefford, Bedfordshire. The church was built from 1882 to 1884 and designed by Samuel Joseph Nicholl in the Gothic Revival style, and includes the remains of a chapel built in 1791. It is located on the High Street, in the centre of Shefford. It is a Grade II* listed building. History Foundation After the English Reformation, during the time of recusancy, until the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829, some Catholics in Shefford were recorded as papists by the authorities. Great Shefford Manor (also known as West Shefford Manor) was owned by the recusant George Browne from 1614 to 1664. In the 1700s, a priest was resident in nearby Weston Underwood and he would travel to Shefford to serve the Catholic community there. In 1742, the Apostolic Vicar of the London District, Bishop Richard Challoner visited Shefford and wrote that there were twenty Catholics in the town. With the passing of the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1791, a chapel, St George's, was built behind a house on the Shefford High Street. By 1830, the number of Catholics recorded in Shefford had grown to 200. Until 1874, St George' Chapel was the only Catholic place of worship in Bedfordshire. In 1869, a Catholic orphanage, St Francis' Boys Home, was started in the building next door. Construction With the increasing size of the congregation, a larger church was needed. The priest, a Canon Collis, made efforts to get a new one built. The new church, St Francis of Assisi Church, built between the old chapel and High Street, was mainly paid for by Pauline Duvernay. On 4 October 1882, the foundation stone of the church was laid. The architect was Samuel Joseph Nicholl (1826 to 1905) from Kentish town, London. He was married to Agnes Rose Bouvier Nicholl. He mainly worked with T. J. Willson. During his career, Alexander Scoles was his student and George Campbell Sherrin and Henry Bloomfield Bare were his assistants. Other churches he designed included: St Alban and St Stephen's Church, St Albans, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church, Wellingborough, St Catherine's Church, West Drayton and St Charles Borromeo Church, Westminster. On 8 July 1884, the church was opened. Next door to it, and built at the same time, was a seminary, St Thomas Aquinas, which closed in 1908. A presbytery was also constructed next to the church. The old chapel still remains, it is a sacristy, and once was a school room for the orphanage, which closed in 1975. Parish The church has its own parish. There are no longer any schools in the parish. The church has Sunday Mass at 9:00 am and 5:15 pm.
