Balliol College

Balliol College is een van de colleges van de Universiteit van Oxford in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, en wel een van de oudste. Het is gesticht in 1263, en een zustercollege van St John's College in Cambridge. Geschiedenis Het college werd onder leiding van de bisschop van Durham in 1263 gesticht door John I de Balliol, een Schotse edelman van Picardische oorsprong. Na zijn dood in 1269, maakte zijn weduwe Dervorguilla van Galloway de stichting definitief: ze bracht de nodige goederen in en formuleerde in 1282 de statuten van het college. Het college bleef lange tijd van bescheiden formaat. In de zestiende eeuw viel Balliol op door trouw aan de Rooms-Katholieke Kerk en weerstand tegen het anglicanisme. Het college werd hard geraakt door de Engelse Burgeroorlog. In 1642 verstrekte het college een "lening" van zijn goud en zilver aan de Britse Kroon - een lening die tot op heden nog niet is terugbetaald. In 1666 vernietigde de Grote brand van Londen een flink deel van de bezittingen van het college in onroerend goed, waardoor het nog armer werd. Pas aan het begin van de achttiende eeuw verbeterde de financiële situatie van het college. Onder leiding van Benjamin Jowett (1817-1893), master van Balliol College van 1870 tot aan zijn dood, werd het college steeds belangrijker. Sinds het eind van de negentiende eeuw scoort Balliol steeds beter binnen de universiteit van Oxford. Studenten en alumni Traditioneel behoren de studenten tot de politiek actiefste van de universiteit: verschillende premiers van Groot-Brittannië zijn oud-studenten. Enige van de oud-studenten van Balliol zijn: Nelson Annandale, zoöloog en antropoloog Herbert Henry Asquith, premier van Groot-Brittannië John Beazley, kunsthistoricus Hilaire Belloc, schrijver Cyril Connolly, schrijver Robertson Davies, schrijver Richard Dawkins, etholoog Kenneth Dover, geschiedkundige Charles Du Bos, literair criticus John Evelyn, memorialist van de republikeinse periode, theoreticus van het platteland Graham Greene, schrijver Harald V van Noorwegen Edward Heath, premier van Groot-Brittannië Aldous Huxley, schrijver Anthony Powell, schrijver Harold Macmillan, premier van Groot-Brittannië Jean de Menasce, theoloog en oriëntalist Claude Montefiore, theoloog Benedict Nicolson, kunsthistoricus Harold Nicolson, diplomaat en schrijver Nigel Nicolson, schrijver Olav V van Noorwegen John Pope-Hennessy, kunsthistoricus Bob Rae Sacheverell Sitwell, kunsthistoricus Adam Smith, econoom Logan Pearsall Smith, essayist Olaf Stapledon, schrijver Algernon Swinburne, dichter Arnold Joseph Toynbee, geschiedkundige Adam von Trott zu Solz, diplomaat Richard von Weizsäcker, president van Duitsland John Wyclif, hervormer Nevil Shute, schrijver Christopher Hitchens, journalist Trivia Het college staat onder bescherming van de heilige Catharina van Alexandrië.

York County Hospital

York County Hospital (1740–1977) was a hospital in York, England. The building, which is grade II listed, has been converted for residential use. History The hospital has its origins in a small hospital established in Monkgate in April 1740. It moved to larger premises in Monkgate in 1745. According to one account, "the benevolent Lady Hastings, who, in the year 1749, bequeathed a legacy of £500, for the relief of the diseased poor in the county of York; which fund being augmented by other contributions, the present edifice was soon after erected." In 1840 there was a competition to design a new hospital and in 1851 the original (1745) building was demolished and replaced with a new building costing around £11,000 - £7,000 from subscriptions and £4,000 from existing funds. The new building was built behind the previous building and offered considerably more space, with one hundred beds. It was designed by J. B. and W. Atkinson. In 1887, the hospital merged with the York Eye Institution which had been opened in 1875, but which was being rarely used. A nurses’ home was built in 1905. York suffered a major attack on 29 April 1942, one of the Baedeker raids by the Luftwaffe. Many of the casualties, who would later go on to die, were treated at York County Hospital. In 1977 the hospital facilities moved to York Hospital which had six hundred beds; the ante-natal clinic remained on-site until 1980. The Sainsbury's supermarket at Jewbury was then built while the hospital building, renamed County House, was used as the headquarters of Yorkshire Water before being converted for residential use. People linked with the hospital Francis Drake, surgeon 1740-1745 John Burton, physician and man midwife 1740-1746 George Stubbs, painter to the medical staff Clifton Wintringham senior, physician to replace John Burton 1746 References External links Hospital archives at the Borthwick Institute
York High School, York

York High School is a mixed secondary school in York, North Yorkshire, England. It has a comprehensive admissions policy, and in 2016 had an enrolment of 757 pupils ages 11–16. History York High School was established through the 2007 merger of Oaklands School and Lowfield School. The new school initially operated on the site of Lowfield School, expanded with temporary buildings, while a new school was constructed on the site of Oaklands School. The name of the school was chosen after a vote by pupils at the schools and the local community. York High School has achieved positive Ofsted reports, and currently has a 'good' rating. Between 5–6 a.m. on the morning of Friday 3 October 2008, a third of the school buildings on the Dijon Avenue site were burnt down in a fire. Students were given the day off and local residents were advised to stay away from the site. Students were given a week off school while staff and local authority officials put into place alternative educational arrangements for the pupils, and during this week many sporting and community activities were laid on. The school's headteacher subsequently credited the fire as the turning point in the school's journey towards greater success. Subsequently, the Dijon Avenue site was closed and all pupils are in the newly built school. In April 2009 construction of its new buildings was completed, and the school relocated to Cornlands Road on the former site of Oaklands School. Previously a community school administered by York City Council, in May 2018 York High School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the South Bank Multi Academy Trust. The South Bank Multi Academy Trust was later renamed to the Excel Learning Trust on 17 July 2024. It was announced on 13 February 2024 that Rod Sims would be stepping down from the position of headteacher at the end of the academic year, after 15 years in the role. On 22 May that year the school announced he would be replaced with Gavin Kumar who started as Principal in September at the start of the next Academic year. On 19 July 2024 the last "Message from the Head" post was made by Sims saying his goodbyes at the end of the Academic year. At the start of the following academic year Kumar started an equivalent "Principal's Weekly Post" where he similarly introduced himself. References External links York High School web site

York Road (Maidenhead)

York Road is a football stadium in Maidenhead, Berkshire, England. The home ground of Maidenhead United, it is acknowledged by The Football Association and FIFA to be the oldest continuously used senior association football ground in the world by the same club, having been home to the club since 1871. A blue plaque commemorating this is placed just inside the home turnstiles on the York Road side of the ground. History The ground was initially the home of Maidenhead Cricket Club and it was with their permission that, shortly after their foundation in 1870, the football club played their first match at York Road on 16 February 1871 against Marlow. It is officially known as the Desborough Sports Ground, named after the patron of sport in the town, William Grenfell, 1st Baron Desborough, who sold the ground to the club during the 1920–21 season. The previous season, only one competitive first-team match was played at the ground – against 1st Scots Guards – while most competitive fixtures were played at Kidwells Park, the former home of Maidenhead Norfolkians. However, from 1920–21 onwards, the Magpies resumed playing all their home matches at York Road. The current capacity of the ground is 4,500 (550 seated) and holds an "A" grading. The club's record attendance is 7,989 for the 1936 FA Amateur Cup quarter-final against Southall. A further 2,000 spectators are estimated to have watched the match from the adjacent railway embankment. The ground record attendance was set on Easter Monday 1947 when 8,277 people paid total receipts of £494 to watch the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup Final between Slough Town and Wycombe Wanderers. The ground facilitates fans in a mixture of covered all-seater stands, covered and uncovered traditional terraces and flat concrete by the side of the pitch. As well as the normal facilities for lower-league football, the ground hosts Stripes Bar which can be hired out for functions. The ground is located just a few minutes walk away from the town centre and from Maidenhead railway station. References

York Unitarian Chapel

York Unitarian Chapel is a building on St. Saviourgate, York, England. It is a member of the General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches, the umbrella organisation for British Unitarians. It is in the form of a Greek cross and was built in 1692 or earlier. It is a Grade II* listed building. It is thought to be the first brick building of any size in York with load-bearing brick walls. A major benefactor was Lady Sarah Hewley, a Protestant dissenter and widow of Sir John Hewley, MP. Lady Hewley also founded almshouses in Tanner Row in York, which were moved by the railway in 1839 to be the present Lady Hewley's Almshouses in St Saviourgate. There are also twelve almshouses known as Colton's Hospital in Shipton Street. The most famous minister of the Chapel was Charles Wellbeloved, who was at first assistant to the Rev. Newcome Cappe and then minister until his death in 1858. He was involved in saving the York city walls from being used to provide building materials, ended malpractices at York County Lunatic Asylum, founded the York Mechanics' Institute, wrote a guide to York Minster and initiated an appeal after a fire destroyed a Minster screen. He was Principal of Manchester College, one of the dissenting academies for training ministers and the higher education of lay students. References External links York Unitarians website
York Library

York Library (York Explore Library and Archive) is situated in Museum Street, York, England. It became a Grade II listed building in 1997. York's first subscription library opened in 1794, but it was only in 1893 that the city's first public library was opened in Clifford Street by the then Duke and Duchess of York, in a building formerly occupied by the Institute of Popular Science and Literature. This was the period when free public libraries were supplanting subscription libraries, and the establishment of York's public library was the city's way of marking Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. In 1917 the public library was merged with York Subscription Library. The present library building on Museum Street was designed by Walter Brierley and opened in 1927. Since then, there have been a number of extensions to the building, most recently in 2014, when the library became home to the City Archives. References External links Official website

Yorks Wood

Yorks Wood is a Local Nature Reserve in Kingshurst, Solihull, England. It is an 11 hectares (27 acres) ancient wood of predominantly oak trees. The River Cole is located south of the wood and located within Kingfisher Country Park. History The first mention of the wood is in 1456. It was stated as being owned by the Mountford family and being located within Kingshurst Park. The wood received its current name in the 19th century and by the 1920s, it was under the ownership of the Scout movement. In the 1970s, the fields surrounding the wood were sold to make way for housing development. The wood was preserved in the 1960s when the Kingshurst Hall Estate was completed so that it could act as a buffer between the estate and other nearby estates. Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council bought the wood in 1984 and designated it as a Local Nature Reserve in 1991. Nature During May, the floor of the wood is covered in bluebells and towards the closing of the year, fungi can be seen. During spring, wood anemone, and celandine are located in different parts of the forest. The wood is home to various species of birds, such as spotted woodpeckers and sparrowhawks, which breed throughout the year there. The most common species of trees found growing within the wood are birch and oak. Ash and willow trees are found within the wood along with invasive species such as sycamore. As sycamore trees do not support as much wildlife as the native tree species, its presence is controlled. References
Yorkshire Air Museum

Het Yorkshire Air Museum is een museum in de plaats Elvington in het bestuurlijke gebied City of York, in het Engelse graafschap North Yorkshire. Het museum bevindt zich op een voormalige vliegtuigbasis van de Royal Air Force dat in gebruik was tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog en een tijdlang de thuisbasis voor de viermotorige Handley Page Halifax. Meer dan 60 historische vliegtuigen en voertuigen waaronder een aantal replica's zijn hier tentoongesteld. Toen de basis operationeel was werd ze RAF Elvington genoemd. Geschiedenis Oorspronkelijk was de start- en landingsbaan een grasveld dat vervangen werd door drie verharde stroken die in oktober 1942 werden opengesteld. De eerste operationele toestellen hier waren de al vermelde Halifaxtoestellen. Ze namen deel aan missies tegen Berlijn en aan luchtaanvallen tegen het Ruhrgebied. Hierbij gingen bijna 80 Halifaxen verloren en meer dan 500 leden van de RAF vonden de dood, vermist of krijgsgevangen. Vanaf mei 1944 waren hier Franse squadrons gestationeerd. Zij verlieten de basis in oktober 1945. US Strategic Air Command nam de basis over en paste ze aan. Ze werd nooit operationeel voor hen en ten slotte verlaten in 1958. Enkele jaren later werden de banen opnieuw gebruikt bij het testen van een prototype van de Blackburn Buccaneer en door vliegscholen van de RAF. In maart 1992 sloot RAF Elvington definitief zijn deuren. Het museum In het begin van de jaren tachtig van de 20e eeuw werd het museum geopend. Het is het grootste onafhankelijke luchtvaartmuseum van het land. Het biedt een overzicht van de luchtvaartgeschiedenis via de tentoongestelde toestellen. Men ziet hier onder meer een replica van het eerste luchtwaardig vliegtuig, de Wright Flyer gebouwd door de gebroeders Wright. Verder zijn er Engelse vliegtuigen opgesteld die een belangrijke rol speelden tijdens beide wereldoorlogen en de Koude Oorlog. Anno 2015 werkten er in het museum ongeveer 150 mensen waarvan 130 niet betaalde vrijwilligers.

Zafferano

Zafferano is a restaurant in London, originally run by Giorgio Locatelli on behalf of A–Z Restaurants until 2005. The restaurant was awarded one Michelin star in 1999, which it held until 2012. History Zafferano was opened by Locatelli in February 1995 in Knightsbridge, London. Its name comes from the Italian for saffron. The location had previously been a fish restaurant, but under Locatelli the new restaurant served Italian food. The major investor in the restaurant was Claudio Pulze, who owned the restaurant through his company A–Z Restaurants. Locatelli's pay was based on a percentage of the overall performance of the restaurant. The restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in the list published in 1999. Locatelli was named the Outstanding London Chef of 2001 at the London Restaurant Awards, but shortly afterwards left the restaurant following disagreements with new head of A–Z Restaurants, Giuliano Lotto. Andrew Needham took over as head chef, having previously been Locatelli's sous chef. After A–Z Restaurants went into administration in November 2004, Locatelli said that he was interested in purchasing Zafferano. The group, including Zafferano, was sold back to Claudio Pulze with a new partner, John De Stefano. In 2007, Pulze sold his share of the company to De Stefano. The restaurant expanded during the same year and opened a delicatessen. Menu The restaurant's menu is influenced by the previous restaurants at which Locatelli worked, including The Savoy Hotel and at Olivo, where the menu was centred on Italian peasant foods. It was initially launched with a series of set price menus, with the idea that the menus would be changed on a monthly basis, and the dishes avoid using butter as an ingredient. Only one dish in the original 1995 menu was served with butter — a dish of pappardelle pasta with chicken livers and sage. Desserts have included strawberries drizzled with 60-year-old balsamic vinegar. The signature dessert is a tiramisu served inside a tuile. Although saffron fibres are woven into the covers of the bill cover, the process was too expensive to repeat for the covers of the menus. Between 1997 and 2005, the average cost of a meal at the restaurant increased by 65%, from £34 to £56. Reception Matthew Norman, writing for The Daily Telegraph in 2003, described it as "one of the best restaurants around", although he did criticise the attitude of its staff. In 2013, Time Out wrote that Zafferano "has some way to go to rediscover its glory days". It was awarded three AA Rosettes in 2009. In 2011, the restaurant was named 55th in the list of the top restaurants in the UK by The Good Food Guide. References External links Official website
