WWT Arundel

WWT Arundel is one of ten wildfowl and wetland nature reserves managed by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, a nature conservation charity in the United Kingdom. The 60 acres (24 ha) reserve is situated at the foot of the Offham Hangar, a part of the Arun valley in Arundel, West Sussex, England. One of the endangered species protected at the centre is the Hawaiian goose, or nēnē, the rarest goose in the world, and state bird of Hawaii. Many species of duck, goose and swan can be seen at the reserve. The centre provides a variety of habitats from around the world for its various 'residents' such as its Coastal Creek aviary exhibit with cut-away diving tank. Visitors can watch sea ducks like long-tailed ducks and Spectacled eiders dive for fish. The Pelican Cove exhibit is home to four female Dalmatian Pelicans with daily Meet the Keeper talks. With eight wildlife hides situated all over the site, visitors can get close up views to wildlife including nesting kingfishers and sand martins in spring. The site is noted for its summer wildflowers and roosting marsh harriers in winter. Also available each day are Boat Safari rides through reedbed habitats, driven by WWT wildlife guides. The centre is open all year except for Christmas Day. Species Species from other countries are not wild.

WWT Martin Mere

WWT Martin Mere is a wetland nature reserve and wildfowl collection managed by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust at Tarlscough, Burscough, Lancashire, England, on the West Lancashire Coastal Plain, 6 miles (10 km) from Ormskirk and 10 miles (16 km) from Southport (Merseyside). It is one of ten reserves managed by the charity, and it is designated an SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest), an SPA (Special Protection Area) and a Ramsar Site. The name of the centre comes from the mere on the west side of the reserve which is ringed by more than ten observation hides. On the east side of the reserve there are a number of pens providing habitats for birds from Africa, Australasia, North America, South America, Siberia, and Asia. Martin Mere has its own "Domesday Book", listing (for 2002) nationally important species of wildlife found at the reserve, other than birds include the whorled caraway (Carum verticillatum), at its only site in England away from the southwest, and the regionally scarce water dropwort (Oenanthe fistulosa). Another sign of the sites importance for biodiversity is the recording of the first records of the micromoth, the marsh dowd (Blastobasis rebeli), for northern England. This reserve is at its best in winter, attracting huge flocks of pink-footed geese and Eurasian wigeon, many whooper swans and occasional rarer birds such as the snow goose. It is also excellent for wintering birds of prey such as hen harrier, peregrine and merlin. The BBC television programme Autumnwatch was broadcast live from Martin Mere in 2006 and 2007. History Martin Mere was initially opened to members of the Wildfowl Trust in late 1974 and then in March 1975 it was opened to the general public. The reserve and centre were the concept of haulage contractor, Ronnie Barker, who was a friend of Sir Peter Scott. Barker was aware that both pink footed geese and Bewick's swans roosted at Martin Mere and was able to arrange a meeting between Sir Peter and the then landowner, this resulted in Sir Peter buying 363 acres (147 ha) for £52,000. The first warden of the reserve was Peter Gladstone (1928–2000). See also Burscough Martin Mere References Martell, Charles (August 2000). "Obituary:Peter Gladstone". The Independent.

Waddow Hall

Waddow Hall ist ein denkmalgeschütztes Grade-II-Bauwerk bei Clitheroe in der englischen Grafschaft Lancashire, das als Tagungs- und Freizeitzentrum für die Pfadfinderinnen-Organisation Girlguiding UK dient. Es stammt aus dem 17. Jahrhundert und ist von einem 72 Hektar großen Grundstück umgeben. Waddow Hall wird seit 1927 von Girlguiding verwaltet. Geschichte Das Waddow-Landgut und die Pfarrei von Waddington existieren bereits seit Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts und wurden zu dieser Zeit von Roger de Tempest Bracewell, dem Lord of Waddington, verwaltet. Die Tempests ließen Waddow Hall während der Tudor-Zeit erbauen. Das Landgut und die Ländereien blieben bis 1657 im Besitz der Familie, in diesem Jahr kam Richard Tempest in einem Schuldgefängnis ums Leben. Nach Richards Gefängnistod wurde das Landgut von Christopher Wilkinson of Clitheroe übernommen, einem Verwalter und späterem Abgeordneten im englischen Parlament. Wilkinson vermachte es 1693 seinem Neffen John Weddell of Widdington (anstatt seinem eigenen Sohn, den er verdächtigte ein Papist zu sein). 1778 vermachte Thomas Weddell das Landgut an Sir John Ramsden. Waddow blieb bis zum Verkauf an William Garnett Mitte der 1800er Jahre in der Ramsden-Familie. Zwischen 1927 und 1928 mietete die Girl Guides Association das Anwesen, um es als Freizeitzentrum zu nutzen und erwarb es am 16. Oktober 1928 von William Garnets Sohn für 9.000 Pfund. Während des Zweiten Weltkrieges wurde das Gut dem Lancashire County Council zur Verfügung gestellt und diente als Isolierspital für kranke Kinder. Spuklegende Laut einer örtlichen Sage soll das Haus von Peg O’Nells Geist heimgesucht werden, einer ehemaligen Dienerin auf Waddow Hall, die von ihrer Hausherrin ermordet wurde. Die Legende besagt, dass Peg O’Nell zu einem Brunnen geschickt wurde um Wasser zu holen. Als ihre Herrin einen Zauber aussprach, rutschte sie beim Schöpfen des Wassers aus und starb. Im November 2004 brachte die britische Paranormal-Reality-TV-Show Most Haunted eine Sendung aus Waddow Hall. Weblinks Offizielle Website (englisch) Einzelnachweise
Wade Deacon High School

Wade Deacon High School is a coeducational secondary school with academy status in Widnes, Cheshire, England. History Wade Deacon High School traces its origins to a local grammar school tradition in Widnes, with some accounts dating these roots to 1507. A new main school building opened in 1931 as Wade Deacon Grammar School, and the school was named in honor of Sir Henry Wade Deacon (1852–1932), a Widnes industrialist associated with local education governance. Sir Henry Wade Deacon served as Chairman of Lancashire County Council (1927–1931). Comprehensive It became the Wade Deacon High School in September 1974 for ages 11–16. The headmaster, Ernest High Smith, came directly from the Kingsway County Secondary School, a secondary modern school on Kingsway, which formed the comprehensive with both grammar schools. He left in December 1978. Either Widnes VI Form College or Halton FE College would host the A levels. In April 1998, it was administered by Halton borough. Fairfield High School Closure and Modernisation In August 2010, the nearby Fairfield High School, Widnes closed due to a decreasing number of student admissions. Current students were merged into Wade Deacon's student body. To deal with the increased number of enrolled students, the school received a £25m refurbishment, with significant expansions made to the original 1931 building. During the renovations, pupils were taught at various sites across Widnes. The remodelling was finished by late 2013, with an opening ceremony on 11 December 2013. Academy The school converted to academy status on 1 March 2013. Admissions As of February 2026, Wade Deacon has a Public Admissions Number of 350 per year and is oversubscribed.

Wadworth Hall

Wadworth Hall is a grade I listed Manor House, in the village of Wadworth (near Doncaster), England. It was built in 1749 for the Wordsworth family by the renowned northern architect James Paine. It is currently a private residence and has been since approximately 1995. The house, however, has served a number of purposes over the past 250 years. The building is constructed of magnesian limestone ashlar with a Westmorland slate roof. The main block is 3 by 4 bays in two storeys with attics with a later service wing attached. History The Wordsworth name appeared in the 11th century after a wave of migration was caused by the Norman Conquest of Britain in 1066. The Wordsworth Family lived in Yorkshire at 'Wadsuuorde' or Wadsworth. First found in Yorkshire, the family were seated at Wadsworth, recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086 as 'king's land', a moorland with two churches and scattered houses. An isolated building within the village is said to be the setting of Emily Brontë's famous novel Wuthering Heights. The village was granted by William the Conqueror to Roger de Bully (believed to be the ancestor of the Wadsworths) following the Norman Conquest. The estate passed to the Ross family in the 19th century. Polar explorer James Clark Ross had married Anne Coulman, daughter of the then owner, in 1843 after returning from Antarctica; his name appears in the West Riding Electoral Registers of 1860, 1861 and 1862, "Qualification: Freehold Mansion and Land", "Place: Wadworth hall". After its use as a family home, it was sold to the West Riding County Council in 1957 and was transformed into a nursing home before it was then sold on to a firm of architects, who converted it into offices. In the mid-1990s, the architects downsized and Andrew Cusack moved his computing business in on part of the ground floor of the hall. A year later, the opportunity arose for Cusack to purchase the hall. See also Grade I listed buildings in South Yorkshire Listed buildings in Wadworth References
Wadworth Hall

Wadworth Hall es una casa solariega de grado I, en el pueblo de Wadworth (cerca de Doncaster), Inglaterra. Fue construido en 1749 para la familia Wordsworth por el renombrado arquitecto norteño James Paine . Actualmente es una residencia privada y lo es desde 1995 aproximadamente. La casa, sin embargo, ha servido para una serie de propósitos en los últimos 250 años. Está construido con sillar de piedra caliza magnesiana con un techo de pizarra Westmorland. El bloque principal es de 3 por 4 vanos en dos plantas con áticos y un ala de servicio posterior adosada.​ Historia El nombre de Wordsworth apareció en el siglo XI después de una ola de migración provocada por la conquista normanda de Gran Bretaña en 1066. La familia Wordsworth vivía en Yorkshire en 'Wadsuuorde' o Wadsworth. El idioma inglés solo se estandarizó durante los últimos siglos y los nombres a menudo se escribían mal en los documentos oficiales debido al analfabetismo, lo que brinda una posible explicación de por qué el Hall y el pueblo que lo rodea se llaman Wadworth (una variación de Wordsworth). Encontrado por primera vez en Yorkshire, la familia se asentó en Wadsworth, registrado en el Domesday Book en 1086 como "tierra del rey", un páramo con dos iglesias y casas dispersas. Se dice que un edificio aislado dentro del pueblo es el escenario de la famosa novela Cumbres Borrascosas de Emily Brontë . El pueblo fue concedido por el rey Guillermo a Roger de Bully (se cree que es el antepasado de los Wadsworth) tras la conquista normanda de Inglaterra. Luego, pasó a la familia Ross en el siglo XIX. James Clark Ross en los registros electorales de West Riding de 1860, 1861 y 1862, "Calificación: Freehold Mansion and Land", "Lugar: Wadworth hall". Después de su uso como hogar familiar, se vendió al Consejo del Condado de West Riding en 1957 y se transformó en un hogar de ancianos antes de venderlo a una firma de arquitectos, que lo convirtió en oficinas. A mediados de la década de 1990, los arquitectos redujeron su tamaño y Andrew Cusack trasladó su negocio de computación a parte de la planta baja de la sala. Un año después, surgió la oportunidad de que Cusack comprara el salón. Referencias
Wadworth Hall

Wadworth Hall est un Manoir classé grade I, situé dans le village de Wadworth (près de Doncaster), en Angleterre. Il est construit en 1749 pour la famille Wordsworth par le célèbre architecte du Nord James Paine (architecte). C'est actuellement une résidence privée et ce depuis 1995. La maison, cependant, a servi à plusieurs fins au cours des 250 dernières années. Le bâtiment est construit en pierre de taille calcaire magnésienne avec un toit en ardoise Westmorland. Le bloc principal est de 3 par 4 baies sur deux étages avec des greniers avec une aile de service plus tard attachée . Histoire Le nom de Wordsworth apparait au XIe siècle après une vague de migration provoquée par la conquête normande de la Grande-Bretagne en 1066. La famille Wordsworth vit dans le Yorkshire à 'Wadsuuorde' ou Wadsworth. La langue anglaise n'a été standardisée qu'au cours des derniers siècles et les noms étaient fréquemment mal orthographiés sur les documents officiels en raison de l'analphabétisme, ce qui explique peut-être pourquoi le manoir et son village environnant s'appellent Wadworth (une variante de Wordsworth). Trouvée pour la première fois dans le Yorkshire, la famille était installée à Wadsworth, enregistrée dans le Domesday Book en 1086 comme « terre du roi », une lande avec deux églises et des maisons dispersées. On dit qu'un bâtiment isolé dans le village est le cadre du célèbre roman d'Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights. Le village est concédé par le roi Guillaume à Roger de Bully (considéré comme l'ancêtre des Wadsworth) à la suite de la conquête normande de l'Angleterre. Le domaine est ensuite transmis à la famille Ross au XIXe siècle avec James Clark Ross. Après son utilisation comme maison familiale, il est vendu au conseil du comté de West Riding en 1957 et est transformé en maison de retraite avant d'être ensuite vendu à un cabinet d'architectes, qui le transforme en bureaux. Au milieu des années 1990, les architectes réduisent leurs effectifs et Andrew Cusack installe son entreprise informatique sur une partie du rez-de-chaussée du manoir. Un an plus tard, l'opportunité s'est présentée pour Cusack d'acheter la maison.
