St Michael's Church, Yanworth

The Church of St. Michael is the parish church of Yanworth, Gloucestershire, England. The church is a Grade II* listed building dating from the late-12th and 15th centuries. The church stands isolated from Yanworth village adjacent to Church Farm. History Like many churches in the Cotswolds, isolation of the church from the village was likely due to the Black Death, which swept through Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire in the 14th century. In order to try to contain the epidemic, many houses were destroyed and burnt to the ground, leaving only the church and a few substantial buildings standing. Exterior The church has been described as "remarkable for its fine-jointed ashlar exterior, and pretty grouping of roofs". The north wall of the chancel is made of limestone rubble mixed with some dressed stone, suggesting that this wall was once part of an earlier building. The roof is of stone slate except for the nave, which is leaded. A 12th-century moulded plinth surrounds the church. A miniature tower, dating from the 15th century, stands flush with the west wall. Gargoyles can be seen on the north and south sides of the church but most have been defaced. Marks on the wall of the north transept may be the result of shrapnel damage from the Civil War. Interior The interior has a plastered four-bay nave with a 12th-century transitional chancel arch. The north transept arch is slightly later with a hooded mould and two chamfered orders. A fine carving of a woman's face can be seen below the right hand impost. A tall narrow chamfered arch has been formed between the nave and the tower. The roof of the nave is 19th-century and braced with tie beams supported by (estimated) 15th-century corbels formed into grotesque carved heads. References

Yarm Methodist Church

Yarm Methodist Church is a Methodist church in the town of Yarm in the borough of Stockton-on-Tees, England. It is octagonal in shape. Built in 1763, John Wesley wrote in his Journal : I preached about noon at Potto and in the evening in the New House at Yarm, by far the most elegant in England. A large congregational attended at five in the morning and seemed to be just ripe for the exhortation – Let us go on and perfection. Administratively, the church is part of the Stockton Circuit in the Darlington district. The Church has a children's Youth Club for 9 to 18-year-olds, and a mothers and toddlers group.

Yarmouth Castle

Yarmouth Castle er et artillerifort, der blev opført af Henrik 8. i 1547 for at beskytte Yarmouth Harbour på Isle of Wight fra franske angreb. Det er under 30 m på tværs, og den kvadratiske fæstning var oprindeligt udstyret med 15 artillerykanoner og en garnison på 20 mand. Den havde en italiensk "pilespids"-bastion på landsiden, hvilket var meget anderledes en tidligere runde bastioner, der var blevet bygget på de øvrige Device forter som Henrik havde opført. Under første og anden verdenskrig kom fortet igen i brug. I dag drives den af English Heritage som turistattraktion. Se også Liste over borge og slotte i England Referencer Eksterne henvisninger
Castillo de Yarmouth

El Castillo de Yarmouth es un blocao construido por el rey Enrique VIII en 1547 para proteger Yarmouth en la isla de Wight del intento de ataque francés. El castillo estaba equipado con 15 armas de artillería y una guarnición de aproximadamente 20 hombres. Se caracterizaba además por tener un bastión con forma de "cabeza de flecha" al estilo italiano, diferente a los bastiones circulares que previamente se observaba en los fuertes defensivos construidos por el mismo Enrique VIII. Durante el siglo XVI y XVII el castillo continuó siendo modificado. La mitad del castillo que daba hacia el mar se convirtió en una plataforma de disparo sólida, construyéndose además otras estructuras para los artilleros.

Castelo de Yarmouth

O Castelo de Yarmouth Castle é um forte mandado construir por Henrique VIII em 1547 para proteger o Porto de Yarmouth na Ilha de Wight da ameaça de ataques franceses. Com cerca de 30m, o castelo em forma de quadrado estava inicialmente equipado com 15 peças de artilharia e uma guarnição de 20 homens. Tinha um bastião em forma de seta no lado-terra, o que o diferenciava, em estilo, dos anteriores bastiões circulares utilizados nos Device Forts construídos no tempo de Henrique VIII, e foi o primeiro do género a ser construído em Inglaterra. Durante os séculos XVI e XVII, o castelo sofreu algumas alterações; o lado virado para o mar foi transformado numa plataforma equipada com peças de artilharia, e foi construída uma zona para abrigo dos artilheiros. Também foi construído um baluarte no lado leste do castelo, e colocada uma bataria adicional no ancoradouro da cidade, a oeste. Durante a maior parte da Guerra civil inglesa da década de 1640 esteve na posse do Parlamento; no seguimento da Restauração, foi reforçado por pelo rei Carlos II de Inglaterra nos anos 1670. A fortificação permaneceu em utilização nos séculos XVIII e XIX, apesar de conter apenas uma pequena guarnição e pouco equipamento de defesa, até que em 1885 estes desocuparam, definitivamente, o castelo. Após um curto período como posto de sinalização da guarda costeira, o castelo retomou a sua função de defesa militar durante a Primeira e Segunda guerras mundiais. No século XXI, a organização English Heritage passou a gerir o castelo como atracção turística. Referências Bibliografia Biddle, Martin; Hiller, Jonathon; Scott, Ian; Streeten, Anthony (2001).

Yatton Chapel

Yatton Chapel is a redundant Anglican church in Yatton, south-east Herefordshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It stands at the end of a winding track adjacent to Chapel Farmhouse. History The chapel was built in the 12th century, and was originally a parish church. Alterations were made to it during the 13th century. The north wall was rebuilt in the 16th or 17th century. In about 1600 the bellcote was added. The east end of the chancel was rebuilt in 1704, reusing a 13th-century window. It closed as a parish church in 1841 when a new church was built on a different site. Furnishings (altar, altar rail, chancel screen) were transferred to the new All Saints' Church. The chapel was restored during the 1970s by the Redundant Churches Commission (now the Churches Conservation Trust). It was declared redundant on 15 March 1971, and was vested in the Churches Conservation Trust on 20 September 1974. Architecture Yatton Chapel is constructed in sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, and has a stone slate roof. Its plan is simple, consisting of a nave and chancel, and a bellcote at the west end. The bellcote is weatherboarded and has a pyramidal roof. The south doorway is Norman in style. It has a semicircular arched head decorated with chevrons, and a tympanum carved with a foliar design. To the right of the doorway are a double square-headed window, a small single-light square-headed window, and a larger single-light window with a pointed arch. In the east wall are two single-light round-headed windows, one above the other. At the west end is a two-light window with trefoil heads. Inside the church are two fonts. The original font, probably from the 12th century, is a damaged plain cylindrical bowl. The other font, dating from the 12th century, also has a plain cylindrical bowl and was moved here when the parish church of St Mary Magdalene in Brobury ceased to be used for worship.

Yaverland Battery

Yaverland Battery is a battery on the Isle of Wight, United Kingdom. It was constructed between 1861 and 1864. It originally mounted eight 7-inch Armstrong Rifled Breech Loading (RBL) guns, and enclosed with a Carnot wall. A rear surrounding wall included a small barrack block for two officers and 57 men. By 1886 the original guns had been replaced by eight 64-Pounder Rifled Muzzle Loading guns. Between 1898 and 1900 the battery was re-modelled to mount three 6-inch Mk VII Breech Loading guns. Between the First and Second World Wars the battery was used by Territorial Army artillery units for Coast Artillery gun practise. In 1956 on the dissolution of Coast Artillery all of the guns were removed and the site sold off. It was developed for use as a holiday camp. The remains of the Battery are now a Scheduled Ancient Monument. References Publications Hogg, Ian V (1974). Coast Defences of England and Wales 1856–1956. David & Charles. ISBN 0-7153 6353-0. Col.

Yaverland Manor

Yaverland Manor is a medieval manor house in Yaverland, near Sandown, on the Isle of Wight. It was reconstructed in c. 1620 with alterations c. 1709. It became a Grade I listed building in 1949. History The house was erected with many stellas in the reign of James I, after the manor had passed by purchase from the Russells, the progenitors of the noble family of the Dukes of Bedford, who were Lords of Yaverland from the days of Edward I to those of Mary. Sir Theobald Russell, one of the chief heroes of the island, commanded the inhabitants in 1340, when they successfully resisted a French invading force that landed at Bembridge, but unfortunately he was slain in the moment of victory. The house contains some wood carvings, including two figures known as Nero and Cleopatra, others in the shape of Moors' heads with wings, some playing on musical instruments, some as brackets to support the ceiling of the staircase. It has a great hall where a carriage or two might drive about comfortably. Its grey walls and great mullioned windows harmonize soberly and well with its grove of fine sheltering elms. In the green close before the house two great stone shields, with coat armour boldly carved, are laid against the trunk of a tree, evidently taken from the old gateway. Close by is the chapel, referred by most historians to the time of Edward I, but evidently of much more ancient date. Residents Sydney Goldman lived at Yaverland Manor from about 1929.

Ballard Down

Ballard Down ist ein Bereich des offenen Kreidefelsen auf der Isle of Purbeck, Grafschaft Dorset an der Südküste von England, rund 17 Kilometer südwestlich von Bournemouth. Es bildet eine Landzunge namens Ballard Point zwischen Studland Bucht und Swanage Bucht am Ärmelkanal. Ballard Down liegt etwa neun Kilometer südlich der Stadt Poole. Bei der Ballard Down Old Harry Rocks, Handfast Point, beginnt die Jurassic Coast (ein Weltnaturerbe). Siehe auch Liste der Orte entlang der Jurassic Coast
Ballard Down

Ballard Down is an area of chalk downland on the Purbeck Hills in the English county of Dorset. The hills meet the English Channel here, and Ballard Down forms a headland, Ballard Point, between Studland Bay to the north and Swanage Bay to the south. The chalk here forms part of a system of chalk downlands in southern England, and once formed a continuous ridge between what is now west Dorset and the present day Isle of Wight. Old Harry Rocks, just offshore from the dip slope of the down, and The Needles on the westernmost tip of the Isle of Wight, are remnants of this ridge. The scarp slope of the down faces south, over Swanage, meeting the sea as Ballard Cliff. The western end of the Isle of Wight, about 16 miles to the east, is readily visible from the down on a clear day. The down was an area of calcareous grassland for up to 1000 years until World War II, when there was a sudden rise in the need for arable agricultural land. The down is now owned by the National Trust, and has largely been returned to grassland. The National Trust allows grazing on the down to prevent it becoming a natural beech woodland climax community. Ballard Down forms the easternmost part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. The BBC's adaptation of EM Forster's novel 'Howards End' (2017) used Ballard Down as a location. Obelisk An obelisk at the western end of Ballard Down commemorates the provision of a new supply of drinking water for Swanage in 1883. Originally sited outside St Mary Woolnoth Church in central London, the obelisk was erected on its present site in 1892 by George Burt. It was taken down in 1941 as it was a landmark that might have aided enemy aircraft during World War II. According to some sources it was replaced in 1952, while others give a re-erection date of 1973. A plaque at the base of the obelisk, recording re-erection by Royal Engineers, is dated July 1973.

The Yellow House School

The Yellow House School is a 13–17 mixed, private special school and sixth form in Sible Hedingham, Essex, England. It was established in June 2002 by Debbie Pester and caters for children with Tourette's, ADHD and ADD, autism spectrum disorders, and other sensory issues. History The Yellow House School was established in June 2002 with one pupil by Debbie Pester, with the help and support from James Pester. Pester had been searching for a new career path and with experience of working with vulnerable and special needs children as a head teacher in a range of settings, had allowed her to identify a gap in the provision available for children with anxiety disorders and other similar problems. She noted these children commonly find it impossible to cope in a mainstream school environment and the unsuitable special educational alternatives available, which are dominated by those with severe anti-social behaviour, resulting in her decision to open a private special school by raising the funds and buying the premises. It was rated 'good' by Ofsted following its inspection in June 2019, having previously been rated as 'requires improvement' in 2017. References External links Official website
Balliolova kolej

Balliolova kolej neboli Balliolská kolej (anglicky Balliol College), založená roku 1263, je jednou ze zakládajících kolejí Oxfordské univerzity v Anglii. Kolej byla založena okolo roku 1263 Johnem Balliolem za podpory biskupa durhamského. Po jeho smrti roku 1268 jeho vdova přijala opatření, aby tato kolej mohla existovat i nadále. Poskytla koleji kapitál a roku 1282 formulovala kolejní stanovy. Její absolventi se často začlenili do společnosti jako aktivní politikové. Na škole studovali pozdější premiéři Herbert Henry Asquith, Harold Macmillan, Edward Heath a Boris Johnson. Absolventem se také stal zakladatel moderní ekonomie Adam Smith. Známým fiktivním absolventem je sir Humphrey Appleby. Odkazy Reference V tomto článku byl použit překlad textu z článku Balliol College, Oxford na anglické Wikipedii.

Balliol College

Balliol College /ˈbeɪliəl/ es uno de los colleges que constituyen la Universidad de Oxford, en el Reino Unido. Historia Fue fundado en 1263 por Jean de Bailleul, señor escocés de origen normando, bajo el auspicio del obispo de Durham. Al morir este en 1269, su viuda, Dervorguilla de Galloway, hace que la fundación sea definitiva: aportó más bienes y, en 1282, regula sus estatutos como colegio. Durante mucho tiempo es de modesta importancia y en el siglo XVI, se significa por su fidelidad a la Iglesia católica y su oposición al anglicanismo. La Revolución inglesa golpea con dureza al college, que se ve obligado a apoyar a la Corona en 1642 con un "préstamo" de sus reservas de oro y plata, que a día de hoy aún no se ha reembolsado. En 1666, el gran incendio de Londres destruyó algunas de sus propiedades, agravando su ya precaria situación económica. Hasta principios del siglo XVIII el colegio no recuperará el equilibrio financiero. Bajo la dirección de Benjamín Jowett (1870–1893), el colegio aumenta su relevancia y llega a ser uno de los más reputados de la Universidad de Oxford. Estudiantes y antiguos estudiantes Tradicionalmente, sus estudiantes se hallaban entre los más comprometidos políticamente de la Universidad. Cuatro de los primeros ministros británicos son antiguos alumnos de este college: Herbert Henry Asquith, Harold Macmillan, Edward Heath y Boris Johnson. Balliol también acoge a un importante número de estudiantes extranjeros. Entre los antiguos alumnos de Balliol: John L. Austin, filósofo del lenguaje. Christopher Hitchens, periodista, escritor y héroe intelectual angloamericano. Michael Sandel, filósofo e intelectual público. Eric Stenbock, escritor de poesía y ficción decadente y macabra. Nelson Annandale, zoólogo y antropóloo. John Beazley, historiador del arte. Cyril Connolly, escritor. Robertson Davies, escritor. Richard Dawkins, etólogo. Kenneth Dover, historiador. Graham Greene, escritor. Harald V de Noruega, rey de Noruega. Aldous Huxley, escritor. Olaf V de Noruega, rey de Noruega. Masako, Emperatriz del Japón. Adam Smith, economista. Cosmo Gordon Lang, arzobispo de Canterbury. John Langshaw Austin, filósofo del lenguaje. Algernon Swinburne, poeta. Arnold Toynbee, historiador. Richard von Weizsäcker, presidente de Alemania. John Wyclif, reformador. Julio Irazusta, ensayista e historiador argentino. El colegio está situado bajo la protección de santa Catalina de Alejandría. Está hermanado con el colegio de St John's College (Cambridge). Referencias (en inglés) Visita vitual (fotografías a 360°) Archivado el 11 de enero de 2010 en Wayback Machine.
Balliol College

Il Balliol College è uno dei collegi costituenti l'Università di Oxford. Fondato nel 1263 da un gruppo di accademici scozzesi su iniziativa del nobile John de Balliol, ha una forte tradizione politica potendo contare su tre ex-alunni che sono poi diventati primi ministri britannici. Vista la sua data di fondazione, il collegio reclama il primato del più antico di Oxford, che contende con il Merton College e l'University College.
