The former Providence Place United Reformed Church, also known as Providence Place Congregational Church, is a Victorian church building in Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, England, completed in 1859 to Classical designs by Lockwood and Mawson. It is now used as a wedding venue, having previously been used as an Indian restaurant. The building is Grade II* listed. History Dissenting services were held in Cleckheaton as early as the 1660s. A Presbyterian chapel was built in Scott Yard in the first decade of the 18th century. Its services became Congregational in the 1770s. The current building was constructed alongside this, from 1857 to 1859, and enlarged in 1886. It could accommodate up to 3,000 people. A Sunday school was held in the basement. The church closed in 1991; its congregation joined Grove United Reformed Church at Gomersal and the church's war memorial, commemorating the fallen of World War I, was relocated there. The church's records are held by the West Yorkshire Archive Service. Architecture The church was designed by Bradford architects Henry Francis Lockwood and William Mawson in Classical style. It is built in stone with a roof of blue slate, and has two storeys and a basement, a five-bay front, and nine bays along the sides. On the front is a portico consisting of vermiculated quoins, a modillioned pediment, six giant unfluted Corinthian columns on a podium, arches with archivolts, and decorated keystones. Above is a vermiculated frieze and consoles carrying the pediment. In the tympanum is an inscribed roundel surrounded by carved foliage.

On each side is a bracketed eaves cornice and windows, square-headed in the basement and ground storey and round-arched above. In front of the church are five squat square gate piers, each with a cornice and a square cap, and ornamental cast iron gates. The building was Grade II* listed, the second-highest possible category, in April 1982, giving it legal protection from unauthorised alteration or demolition. The gate piers and gates were included in the designation. Other uses After it ceased to be used as a church, the building was included by English Heritage on their Buildings at Risk Register. It was restored and converted for use as restaurant in 2000–2001, and housed an Indian restaurant, "Aakash" (meaning "sky" in Urdu). Seating 800, this was said to be one of the largest in the UK. That closed in November 2022 after the building and its adjacent car park were sold at auction in the previous month. As of 2025, it is a wedding venue, "The Monal".

Church of St Michael and All Angels, Tenbury Wells

The Church of St Michael and All Angels is an Anglican church about 1 mile (1.6 km) south-west of Tenbury Wells, in Worcestershire, England. It was built in 1858 as part of St Michael's College, a former school. The church, in the Diocese of Hereford, is Grade II* listed. History The church was part of St Michael's College, a boys' school founded by Sir Frederick Ouseley in 1856. The church and the college buildings were designed by Henry Woodyer, known for his church buildings in Gothic Revival style, and built from 1856 to 1858. Sir John Betjeman wrote: "Sir Frederick was concerned to train boys who as organists and choristers would be able to maintain the tradition of English cathedral church music.... Ouseley intended St. Michael’s to be what it is—the parish church of the district, with a resident choir and organist supplied from the College attached to it." Ouseley was the first vicar, and warden of the college, retaining the offices until his death in 1889. John Stainer (1840–1901) was selected by Ouseley to be organist of the church, and was resident for two years from 1857. Stainer, later organist of St Paul's Cathedral, considered his success as a church musician to be largely due to this period at Tenbury. The church has continued to be a parish church; St Michael's College closed in 1985. Description The church is built of coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings. The nave has aisles and a clerestory; there are north and south transepts and an apsidal chancel. Original features include the altar rail, choir stalls, chancel screen, stone pulpit and tiled floors; also the limestone font which has a tall oak cover. There is stained glass by Hardman & Co. The organ by Henry Willis & Sons, replacing an earlier organ, was installed in 1873. References
Church of St Mary the Virgin, Sunbury-on-Thames

The Church of St Mary the Virgin is a Grade II* listed church of the Church of England in the village of Sunbury next to the river Thames. History St Mary's Church was rebuilt in 1752, replacing an earlier medieval church. It was designed by Stephen Wright (Clerk of Works to Hampton Court Palace). The church has a tall apsidal (dome-like) chancel with a south chapel and western extensions to aisles added in extensive remodelling designed by architect Samuel Sanders Teulon in 1857. A porch was added in 1871. In 1900 a choir vestry was added to the north and the interior was extensively remodelled in the 1950s, only Teulon's chancel and chancel chapels remain. Further alterations were made in 1972, including the removal of Teulon's porch, extending the gallery, replacement of pews and the pulpit. The octagonal room under the tower became the entrance porch. The plaque over the doorway records that in 1901 six bells were recast and two more were dedicated. The glass doors were donated in 2001. The iron railings on the gallery are from the old Teulon gallery. In the chancel are Sgraffito decoration illustrating the gospels, painted by Heywood Sumner in 1892. There are Salviati mosaics and the pillars are decorated with carved foliage representing the seasons. The projecting angels were added between 1892 and 1900. The apse wall is decorated by Seraphims and Christ the King, painted by local artist George Ostreham in 1892. The altar rails were donated in 1949. The yew tree in the churchyard probably dates from when the new church was completed. Monuments The north chapel or Baptistry contains memorials: to Francis (1679) and John Phelps (1680), William Dyer and wife (1737, 1744), and Lady Jane Coke (d 1761). The triptych dates from 1952. Behind to the left is the memorial for John Fish (d 1813), Lord of the Manor of Kempton. The south memorial chapel contains the war memorial and a carved Caen stone reredos. The organ in the west gallery was built by T C Lewis about 1890 and was renovated in 1960 when it was moved from the Baptistry. Stained-glass windows The stained glass in the nave and chancel is mostly by Clayton and Bell. The glass in the gallery was designed by George Ostrehan and made by Chater & Son (1898 and 1899).

Holy Trinity Church, Huddersfield

Holy Trinity Church is a Church of England parish church in the town of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England. It opened in 1819 and is a grade II* listed building. The church is situated just off Trinity Street, named after the church and forming part of the main A640 road from Huddersfield to Rochdale, and is just outside the town centre, in the suburb of Marsh. The parish forms part of the diocese of Leeds. History In the early 19th century the town of Huddersfield was growing rapidly as a result of the Industrial Revolution and the town's parish church was too small to cope. To address this, Holy Trinity was built between 1816 and 1819 as a chapel of ease, and consecrated in 1820. The new church was funded by Benjamin Haigh Allen, a local banker, and designed by the architect Thomas Taylor of Leeds. Benjamin Haigh Allen invited Henry Maddock (1781-1826) to be Holy Trinity's first Perpetual Curate. Maddock met Allen during a preaching tour he gave in 1814 along with the Revd. Legh Richmond, on behalf of the Church Mission Society. Holy Trinity became a parish church in its own right in 1857, serving Marsh and the adjoining suburbs of Edgerton and Springwood.

St Nicholas Church, Shepperton

St Nicholas Church, is a Church of England (Anglican) parish church in the village of Shepperton in the county of Surrey within the United Kingdom. A church is believed to have stood on the site since the 7th century AD, though the majority of the present stone and flint building is thought to date from 1614, with the brick bell tower added in 1714. It is a Grade II* listed building. History It is recorded in the Domesday Book that a priest was present in Shepperton in 1087, and a church is first mentioned in 1157. The present building is thought to date from 1614, with the tower added a century later. The church lies within the Diocese of London and in the historic county of Middlesex. Unlike much of the rest of Middlesex, the Borough of Spelthorne (of which Shepperton is a part) was absorbed into the County of Surrey rather than into Greater London following the London Government Act 1963. Architecture The main body of the church is thought to date from 1614 and was a reconstruction following destruction of an earlier building by flood some years earlier. (The church is located on the north bank of the River Thames.) However, it is thought that some 12th and 13th century work is incorporated in the present structure. The tower, added circa. 1710 reputedly at the suggestion of Queen Anne, is built in Thames Valley brick and houses the church clock, installed in 1769. The tower also contains a 6 cwt ring of six bells hung for English-style change ringing. The heaviest five bells date from 1877 and were cast by John Warner & Sons, while the lightest bell (the "treble") dates from 1979 and was cast by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry. The church building has been the subject of several restoration projects in the 21st century. In the 2010s, the south transept underwent a significant restoration, while in 2024 the top portion of the tower was dismantled and rebuilt.

Sunbury Court

Sunbury Court is a historic building in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey, England. Since the 1920s the court has been owned by The Salvation Army and has been the meeting place of the High Council of The Salvation Army History The grounds used to be part of a larger estate that contained the Royal Manor of Kempton, a mansion frequented by Henry III, Edward I, and Edward II in the 13th and 14th centuries. But the Royal Manon of Kempton was destroyed in 1374. In 1723 John Witt built the structure that exists today. The estate expanded more than one hundred acres along the Thames River. Witt sold the estate in 1735, and again in 1751 and 1755 by Anna Maria Delegard. In 1764 Delegard married George Fermor, who took ownership of the court until 1799. Between 1799 and 1863, the owners of the court refurbished the estate, including adding new wings to the building. Sunbury Court's last private owner was William Horatio Harfield. After Hatfield's death, the property was vacant for two decades until The Salvation Army purchased the property in 1921. Salvation Army ownership The Salvation Army uses the venue to host the High Council, a group whose sole purpose is to elect the General of the Salvation Army. British law requires that the High Council meets in the United Kingdom, although it does not specify where. The first High Council met at Sunbury Court in 1929 for the purpose of determining whether General Bramwell Booth was unfit to remain general (or leader of the organisation) after he had fallen ill. The most recent High Council met in May 2023 and elected Lyndon Buckingham as general of the Salvation Army. All of the Army's High Councils have been held at Sunbury court except to elect generals Evangeline Booth in 1934, George Carpenter in 1939, and Andre Cox in 2013. Outside the High Council, the court serves as a conference center for Salvation Army activities. In the 1990s, the Army expanded the court by adding an additional board room and housing for guests. In 1961 Emil Soderstrom authored a marched titled "Sunbury Court," in honor of the court. References

Hindlip Hall

Hindlip Hall (alternativ stavning Hendlip; tidigare även kallad Hindlip House) är ett stately home som ligger i Worcestershire, Midlands i England. Det byggdes ursprungligen innan 1575 för att ersätta en herrgård som låg på denna plats tidigare. John Habington (tillsammans med sin fru Catherine och deras tre barn Edward, Thomas och Dorothy) flyttade in i Hindlip Hall efter det hade byggts. När John Habington avlidit 1582 gick Edward och Thomas med i Babingtonsammansvärjningen, för vilken Edward halshöggs; Thomas undvek avrättning på grund av sin låga ålder. Thomas flyttade sedan in i Hindlip Hall tillsammans med sin fru Mary. Där lät de bygga flera prästgömmor för katolska präster, där några av dessa gömmor byggdes av Nicholas Owen. Flera av de jesuiter som var indirekt inblandade i krutkonspirationen år 1605 använde sig av Hindlip Hall som ett gömställe; till exempel var Edward Oldcorne där när konspirationen upptäcktes den 5 november av myndigheterna och Oswald Tesimond ska även ha besökt Hindlip Hall kort därefter. Oldcorne fick sällskap av Owen och Henry Garnet i december 1605. Fastigheten genomsöktes den 20 januari 1606, men ingen återfanns. Dock arresterades Garnet och Oldcorne den 27 januari efter att ha gömt sig under åtta dagar i en av elva prästgömmor som upptäcktes. Thomas arresterades även han, men undvek avrättning ännu en gång. Han tillbringade resten av sitt liv med att skriva. Thomas hade en son, William, som i sin tur hade en son, Thomas, som dog utan att ha en arvinge. Hindlip Hall togs därefter över av Sir William Compton. Hindlip Hall förstördes av en brand 1820, men byggdes upp igen med ett nytt utseende. Sedan 1967 ägs fastigheten av polisen i West Mercia som använder den som sitt huvudkvarter.

St Peter's Church, Hascombe

St Peter's church in Hascombe, which is grade II* listed, was rebuilt during the mid-19th century, and the new church consecrated in June 1864. The original church dated from the 13th century but by 1862, when Canon Vernon Musgrave became rector, it was described as being in a poor condition. Musgrave set about raising funds to have the church rebuilt, paying for the chancel himself and persuading four local landowners to pay for the rest. The architect of the new church was Henry Woodyer, a pupil of William Butterfield. During the demolition and rebuilding, services were held in the village pub, The White Horse. The church is built of local Bargate stone, with a simple nave, chancel, and lady chapel. The roof rafters are cusped and gilded. The stained-glass is mostly by Hardman and Powell and the decoration is by J A Pippet, a freelance artist employed by Hardman. The medieval rood screen, made from Jerusalem olive trees and featuring elaborate carvings and paintings, remains from the old church and was restored in 1864 and decorated by Hardman and Powell. The font of Purbeck marble, also recovered from the old church, dates back to 1690. The belfry, reached by a spiral staircase from the nave, houses a ring of five bells. Regarded by Nikolaus Pevsner as one of Surrey's best Victorian churches and one of the best by Henry Woodyer. John Betjeman described the church as "a Tractarian work of art". The walls of the nave are decorated with the scene of the ‘miraculous draught of fishes’ with 'one hundred and fifty and three' fishes caught in a net dragged by the six disciples. Above the chancel arch is a painting of the Last Judgement, and on the inside of the arch is a picture of our Lord with angels. The walls of the choir and sanctuary have scenes from the Bible depicting the ministry of Angels. The stained glass in the chancel are scenes from the life of our Lord. The central window shows Christ on the cross. The reredos above the altar shows the Adoration of the Lamb. At the entrance to the chancel is a Victorian brass to Canon Musgrave. The pulpit panels show our Lord together with Noah, St Peter, and St John the Baptist. The west window, by William Holland shows Jesus in the fishing boat calming the storm, is in memory of Conyers Middleton who was rector from 1747 to his death in 1750. The Lady Chapel was created in 1935 and contains a squint window. The east window in the Lady Chapel is by Clayton and Bell and the lancet windows, commemorating the Godman family, are by Hardman and Powell.

Lygon Arms

The Lygon Arms ( LIG-ən) is a Grade II* listed hotel in Broadway, Worcestershire, originally a coaching inn and part of Iconic Hotels & Resorts. The current building dates from the seventeenth century. History The Lygon Arms was built in the 14th century and was a key connection between Wales, Worcester and London during the Elizabethan period. The earliest written record of the inn dates to 1377 and refers to the building as "The White Hart". However, the listing dates the current structure to the early seventeenth century. The coaching inn played a role in the English Civil War in 1649, serving both sides. Oliver Cromwell stayed there before the Battle of Worcester in 1651. Charles I also used it as a place to meet his supporters during the unrest. The inn continued to be used as a staging post into the eighteenth century for mail coaches travelling between London and Wales. By the 1900s, the Lygon Arms was owned by Sydney Bolton Russell, whose son, Gordon Russell, restored antique furniture for the hotel in a loft above the coach house. Gordon Russell would become one of England’s leading designers in the 1930s. King Edward VII visited the hotel between 1905 and 1910, as did his grandson, the future Edward VIII. In 1963 Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor stayed at the hotel during the height of the scandal surrounding their affair. The hotel has also been visited by Prince Philip, Evelyn Waugh, and Kylie Minogue. Development Sydney Bolton Russell (1866–1938) bought the Lygon Arms in 1903 from the Midlands brewer Samuel Allsopp & Sons, after first visiting the property in the early 1900s while he worked as a manager for the company. Russell renovated the property in 1910 in a Tudor and Stuart period style, with the help of the Arts and Crafts architect Charles Bateman (1863–1947). Russell recounted the experience of acquiring the Lygon Arms in his book The Story of an Old English Hostelry, published in 1914. In 1915, Russell moved out of the newly refurbished hotel to the village of Snowshill with the aim of separating his business and personal life. At the start of 2016 the new owners of the Lygon Arms, Ian Livingstone and Richard Livingstone, announced that the property would be going under extensive redevelopment.
