Bewholme Vicarage

Bewholme Vicarage, in the village of Bewholme, East Riding of Yorkshire, England, is a former vicarage designed by the architect William Burges in 1859. It is a Grade II listed building and is now a private residence. History and description Burges designed the vicarage in 1859. His patron appears to be unrecorded. Pevsner notes the vicarage is "a somewhat surprising house to find in a small Holderness village". In the following year, Burges also drew up designs for the parish church but these were not executed. The vicarage is of red brick with a seven-bay frontage. Anthony Jennings describes the building as in Burges's "eccentric Northern French fairytale style". Its interior retains "many original features, including the staircase and a number of fireplaces". The building is Grade II listed. See also Listed buildings in Bewholme Notes References Crook, J. Mordaunt (2013). William Burges and the High Victorian Dream. London: Frances Lincoln.

St Mary Magdalene and St Helena's Church, Nunkeeling

St Mary Magdalene and St Helena's Church is a ruined Anglican church in Nunkeeling, a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, in England. The church was originally built in 1152, as part of Nunkeeling Priory, serving as the parish church of Nunkeeling. It originally had a nave and chancel, with a north aisle added in the 13th century. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the aisle was removed, but the church remained in use while falling into disrepair. By the late 18th century, the chancel had no roof. In 1810, the church was rebuilt, using the old materials. St John the Baptist's Church, Bewholme was built nearby in 1900, and the church in Nunkeeling closed in 1928. It again fell into disrepair, but was grade II listed in 1985, and the ruins were consolidated in 1987. The bell was moved to Bewholme, the Norman font to Hull, and the memorials to St Nicholas' Church, Hornsea. The church is built of brick faced with stone and cobbles, and does not have a roof. It consists of a two-bay nave and a single-bay chancel. The west door has a round head, the chancel has an east window of three stepped lancets, and the nave windows are pointed with small keystones.

St Mary's Church, Hartlepool

St Mary's Church or the Church of the Immaculate Conception is a Roman Catholic Parish church in Headland, Hartlepool, County Durham, England. It was built in 1850 and designed by Joseph Hansom in the Gothic Revival style. It is located on Durham Street, behind Hartlepool Borough Hall. It was the first Catholic church to be built in Hartlepool since the Reformation, and it is a Grade II listed building. History Foundation In 1834, a Catholic mission was started to serve the local Catholic population of Hartlepool. That year, a chapel was built. A Mr John Wells constructed it on the corner of Prissick Street and Henry Street. The priest at the chapel was Fr William Knight, who had come from Ushaw College. In 1837 a school was also built. Construction Between 1840 and 1850, the population of Hartlepool doubled and a new, larger church needed to be built to accommodate the growing Catholic population. Funds were raised by Fr Knight and a Mr Lawrenson. The funds were collected and building work started in 1850. On 28 August 1851, the church was opened by William Hogarth, the Bishop of Hexham. It replaced St Mary's Chapel and is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of Mary. It was designed by Joseph Hansom, who also designed Birmingham Town Hall and Arundel Cathedral and John Galley built it and the total cost was £4000. It was largely paid for by subscriptions. In 1884, St Bega's School was built. From St Mary's, other missions were started in Hartlepool from which other churches were built such as St Joseph's Church. In 1946, the spire of the church was demolished, because it was in poor condition. Parish With St Joseph's Church, St Patrick's Church, and St John Vianney's Church in Hartlepool, the church is part of the Holy Family Parish.

Corn Exchange, Devizes

The Corn Exchange is a commercial building in the Market Place, Devizes, Wiltshire, England. The structure, which was commissioned as a corn exchange and is now used as an events venue, is a Grade II listed building. History Until the mid-19th century, corn merchants in the town traded their goods in the open, with sacks piled around the market cross. In the mid-19th century, civic officials decided to commission a purpose-built corn exchange: the site they selected was occupied by the Bear Assembly Rooms. The old assembly rooms were demolished and new assembly rooms were erected at the rear of the Bear Hotel. The current building was designed by William Hill of Leeds in the neoclassical style, built by John Rendall of Devizes in ashlar stone at a cost of £3,456 and was officially opened by the mayor, Henry Butcher, on 3 December 1857. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of five bays facing onto the Market Place. The central section of three bays featured three round headed openings with fanlights, architraves and keystones flanked by Corinthian order columns, supporting a frieze, an entablature and stone balustrade. The outer bays were fenestrated by round headed windows with architraves and keystones. At roof level, there was a central pedestal supporting a statue of the goddess, Ceres, as well as four decorative urns. The Station Road elevation featured a long range of round headed openings flanked by Corinthian order pilasters supporting a frieze, an entablature and a parapet in a similar style to the main elevation. 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. However, the building was used as a public venue and concert performers included the contralto singer, Kathleen Ferrier, who made an appearance on 13 April 1953. It was used for scenes in the film, Far from the Madding Crowd, which starred Julie Christie and was made in 1967. Later performers included the rock band, The Who, in November 1968, the progressive rock band, Yes, in September 1971 and the hard rock band, Thin Lizzy, in February 1973. The heavy metal band, Judas Priest, also performed there in October 1974. The condition of the building declined significantly during the 1980s. After an extensive programme of refurbishment works in the early 1990s, the building was re-opened by the local member of parliament, Sir Charles Morrison, on 3 May 1995. In May 2010, the building was also the venue for a performance of the musical, Smike, adapted from Charles Dickens' 1839 novel Nicholas Nickleby with music by Roger Holman and Simon May. In September 2010, May returned to the corn exchange to play numbers from his compilation album of television and film music, The Simon May Collection. See also Corn exchanges in England References
West Hartlepool Town Hall

West Hartlepool Town Hall is an events venue in Raby Road, Hartlepool, County Durham, England. It is a Grade II listed building. History The development of West Hartlepool was an initiative of Ralph Ward Jackson, who founded the West Hartlepool Dock Company and opened the Coal Dock to the south west of Old Hartlepool in 1847. The new town was outside the old borough boundaries of Hartlepool, but rapidly grew to overtake its older neighbour in size; by the 1880s West Hartlepool was twice the size of Old Hartlepool. In 1887 West Hartlepool was made a separate borough. The new borough council built itself offices and a meeting place at the Municipal Buildings on Church Square, which was completed in 1889. The council then decided to procure a separate building suitable for public gatherings, events and entertainments: the site they selected was open land to the west of Hart Lane (subsequently renamed Raby Road). The foundation stone for the new building was laid by Councillor George Pyman on 18 December 1895. It was designed by Henry Cheers in the English Gothic style, built in red brick with stone dressings and was officially opened as West Hartlepool Town Hall on 1 October 1897. It was built in conjunction with a technical college which was located immediately to the west and was completed about the same time. The design, which followed a long cruciform layout, involved a symmetrical main frontage with a single wide bay, flanked by turrets with spires, facing onto Raby Street; it featured an arched porch which slightly projected forward and was decorated with carved spandrels and battlements. There was a tall five-light window with the town's coat of arms in the tympanum on the first floor and a gable above. Internally, the principal room was the assembly hall which featured a proscenium arch. The assembly hall was used as a public venue: a pipe organ designed and manufactured by James Jepson Binns was installed in the building in 1926. Concert performers included the contralto singer, Kathleen Ferrier, who sang in Handel's Messiah in the town hall on 15 December 1948. The technical school was demolished and the town hall renovated in 1977 to allow it to be used primarily as a theatre. The theatre had a seating capacity of 404 people. Further refurbishment works were completed in 1994. References

Church of St Chad, Pleasley Vale

The Church of St Chad (also known as St Chad's) is a church in Pleasley Vale, Nottinghamshire, England. It is an active Church of England parish church in the deanery of Mansfield, the Archdeaconry of Newark, and the Southwell and Nottingham diocese. Its benefice has two churches, St Chad's and the main parish church, St Edmund. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History St Chad's was built by Joseph Paget after he inherited his parents' estate and consequently became a senior partner in nearby Pleasley Vale Mills. In 1876, deciding that his household and mill workers needed a church, a chapel was built overlooking the vale, on the Derbyshire side of the River Meden. The chapel was built of timber, painted white, by Cox & Sons of London. After disagreement "over the style of services conducted in the church" Joseph Paget had the church dismantled and rebuilt just over the River Meden boundary in Nottinghamshire, thus moving it from the Diocese of Lichfield to the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham. The church was reconstructed in brick and stone, with a bell tower and lead roof. As of 2026, the church is no longer active or in use. Organ The organ dates from 1880 by Lloyd & Co of Nottingham.

St Luke's Church, Canning Town

St Luke's Church, Canning Town or St Luke's Church, Victoria Docks is a Church of England church, originally housed in a building on Boyd Road in the Royal Docks area of West Ham in east London. Planned by Henry Boyd, vicar of St Mark's Church, Silvertown, St Luke's was consecrated in 1875, with a parish split off from St Mark's. Built 1873-5 by Giles and Gane, its neo-Gothic architecture imitates the medieval Early English style and has a flèche rather than a tower. It later took on St Matthew's Church, Custom House (previously a mission of St Mark's itself). It also created a mission church of its own, the Church of the Ascension (1887–1905), a mission to lascar seamen from 1887 and a mission in Ford Park Road by 1890. It is a Grade II listed building, having been listed in 1994. It was badly damaged in 1940 during the London Blitz, though services continued in a garage and then in the church hall. Temporary repairs to the church in 1949 were followed by permanent reconstruction by 1960. The area was also redeveloped in the postwar period as the Keir Hardie Park, meaning that in 1961 the parish of St Matthew's Church, Custom House and parts of the parishes of Holy Trinity and St Gabriel's were added to that of St Luke's. Deconsecrated in 1985, threatened with demolition in 1993 and closed in 1997, it is now a community centre and health centre. The parish still exists and now worships at a modern building on Ruscoe Road. References
