St Mary's Church, Askham Richard

St Mary's Church is the parish church of Askham Richard, a village in the western, rural, part of the City of York in England. The oldest part of the church is a Saxon doorway in the west wall of the vestry, but this was reassembled in the 19th century from parts found embedded in the north wall. The current church was built in the 12th century, with walls of limestone and sandstone. The south wall survives, with three windows, a doorway and a buttress. A porch was added in 1879, and this covers the entrance to another Norman doorway. This has a zigzag moulding, the teeth ornamented with leaves. In the 19th century, the north wall was rebuilt, the west gable was restored, and a vestry was added. In the west wall is a doorway with no ornament other than plain imposts, described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "very unusual". Atop the roof is a bell turret. Inside, there is no division between the nave and chancel. On the south side of the chancel, one window has stained glass, designed in 1879 by C. E. Kempe. The chancel ceiling dates from about 1890, and was designed by Temple Moore. In the porch is a square stone cross base, decorated with a serpent design. It is believed to be Norman. The church plate includes a cup, made in York in 1687. References

Westgate Unitarian Chapel

Westgate Unitarian Chapel is a historic chapel in the city centre of Wakefield, in West Yorkshire, England. The origins of the chapel lie in a group of supporters of Joshua Kirkby, who was ejected from Wakefield Parish Church, and a group of non-conformists in Alverthorpe. The two decided to build a joint Presbyterian chapel, just north of Westgate, halfway between their two settlements, which opened in 1697. In 1752 the chapel was replaced by the current building. Later in the century, the congregation joined the Unitarian movement. It is built of brick, and is two storeys high and three bays long. It is in the Doric order, with a cupola. There are several Venetian windows on the ground floor. Inside the chapel is plain, with a pulpit of 1737 moved from the former chapel, and an organ constructed in 1847. Most of the woodwork dates from the late 19th century. There are catacombs under the chapel, which are occasionally opened to the public. The chapel was Grade II* listed in 1971.

Folkingham Manor House

Folkingham Manor House is a historic manor house, which was built around 1650, and is located at 8 Market Place, Folkingham. History It is probable that the manor house was built by Theophilus Clinton, 4th Earl of Lincoln, for his son Edward Clinton, Lord Clinton, as a wedding present to celebrate his 1652 marriage to Lady Anne Holles, which took place during the Interregnum. It might have been built from stones taken from Folkingham Castle or Sempringham Priory (as it had been abolished in the dissolution of the monasteries a century prior). It was built from Ancaster limestone, with a Collyweston stone slate roof. It was originally known as Clinton House. A map of the town produced circa 1700 shows an orchard to the north of the house, which was gradually built over as the town grew. In the early 18th century walls around the house where built, these are now Grade II listed. It was owned by the Heathcote family in the Victorian period, who had bought it on the 24th of June 1788. It was updated by Heathcote in the late 18th century, including changes to the gates. When the Folkingham manor estate went up for auction in 1920, the house was sold for £5,600. It was again listed for sale in 2015, this time for £1.05 million. Architecture Described as a small country house, with two storeys, and an attic and basement. It is built out of limestone ashlar, course rubble, with some rendered brick. The roof is made out of Collyweston slate. The south porch was added in the late 19th century. All the rooms feature identical chamfered beams, with triangular stops. References

From Oscott a mission was started in Walsall. In 1807, Fr Francis Martyn began serving the Walsall mission. He was the first Catholic priest since the English Reformation to have his entire training done in England. With the local Catholic population growing a larger space was needed to accommodate the increasing congregation. On 19 December 1819, Assembly Rooms at the Green Dragon Inn were hired as a place to celebrate a Catholic Mass. Construction With the population still increasing, a larger permanent church needed to be built. On 16 August 1825, the foundation stone of the present church was laid. The church was designed by Joseph Ireland who also designed St Peter and St Paul's Church, Wolverhampton. On 10 May 1827, the church was opened. In 1833, the presbytery next to the church was built. Developments In 1872, an altar made of Carrara marble was installed in the church. In 1879, the church was renovated. In 1887, new altar rails were added. In 1897, a new baptismal font was bought for the church. In 1909, stained glasses windows made by Hardman & Co. was installed in the church. Some of the reordering of the church done in the 1960s was undone in the 1970s, by the priest Fr Peter Taylor. On 31 July 1986, the church building was given Grade II* listed status. Parish From St Mary's Church, other missions were started to serve other parts of Walsall. Some of those missions grew and became churches and parishes in their own right. In 1856, the mission on the corner of Blue Lane and Green Lane became St Patrick's Church. A new church was built there in 1967. From 1958 to 1960, St Thomas of Canterbury Church was built in Coal Pool. In 2012, the Vocationist Fathers came to serve the parish of St Mary's Church and also serve St Thomas of Canterbury Church and St Patrick's Church. St Mary's Church has three Sunday Masses at 5:30pm on Saturday and at 9:00am and 11:00am on Sunday.

Holcroft Hall

Holcroft Hall is a Grade II* listed privately owned historic house in Holcroft, Culcheth, Cheshire. History The manor of Holcroft was the product of a division of the manor of Culcheth in the mid-13th century, and the Holcrofts may have been descended from the de Culcheth family, the original holders of the manor, although the succession of the estate is not certain before John Holcroft, the lord of the manor in the early 16th century and father of the politician John Holcroft (d.1560) and the courtier Sir Thomas Holcroft (d.1558). One of the family was Colonel John Holcroft, who favored the Parliamentary side in the Civil War. His eldest daughter, Mary Holcroft, married Colonel Thomas Blood to attempt to gain possession of the estate in the 1670s. Eleanor, daughter of Mary's brother Thomas Holcroft, married Thomas Tyldesley of Myerscough and Morley, and the manor passed to the Tyldesley family until 1761. By 1787, the Hall was owned by Samuel Pool. Architecture This late 15th- or early 16th-century farmhouse was enlarged in the 18th century and later centuries. It preserves mullion windows, some timber eaves gutters, and a large chimney stack, as well as some interesting interiors. See also Listed buildings in Culcheth and Glazebury References
Iglesia principal de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción y San Gregorio (Londres)

La iglesia Principal de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción y San Gregorio​ o simplemente iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción y San Gregorio (en inglés: Principal Church of Our Lady of the Assumption and St Gregory) es una iglesia católica de rito anglicano con el estatus de catedral en la calle Warwick, Westminster​ en Inglaterra, Reino Unido. Fue construida entre 1789 y 1790 con el diseño de Joseph Bonomi el Viejo. La única capilla católica sobreviviente del siglo XVIII en Londres, es un edificio catalogado de Grado II *. Los orígenes de la iglesia se encuentran en la capilla establecida en la década de 1730 en la Embajada de Portugal en la Plaza de Oro. En este momento, con las leyes penales inglesas vigentes, la mayoría de las capillas católicas existían bajo la protección, y dentro de los recintos de las embajadas extranjeras. La responsabilidad de la capilla pasó a la embajada bávara en 1747 pero fue destruida en los disturbios de Gordon en 1780. La iglesia de reemplazo fue diseñada por Joseph Bonomi el Viejo, un arquitecto y dibujante italiano, que se había trasladado a Londres en 1767 para trabajar en la práctica profesional de los hermanos Robert y James Adam. La iglesia ha atraído a muchos adoradores católicos prominentes, incluyendo a la sra. Fitzherbert, quien fue sacramentalmente, pero no civilmente casada con Jorge IV, y el cardenal Newman.​ El novelista Evelyn Waugh tuvo su segunda boda aquí en 1937. En 1983, la misa fúnebre de Ralph Richardson, un católico devoto, se llevó a cabo en la iglesia. El 24 de marzo de 2013 bajo el pontificado del papa Francisco se convirtió en la iglesia principal del ordinariato personal de Nuestra Señora de Walsingham.​ Véase también Catedral de Westminster Referencias

Serpentine North

Serpentine North or Serpentine North Gallery is a listed building in Hyde Park, London, which, with the South Gallery, constitutes the Serpentine Galleries, an art exposition space. It was originally known as The Magazine, and also, from 2013 to 2021, as the Serpentine Sackler Gallery. Since 2013, the name The Magazine specifically refers to an extension of the building, a restaurant designed by architect Zaha Hadid. History Built in 1805, the building was originally a gunpowder magazine. It is listed as a Grade II* building. It was constructed to replace an earlier building which stood to the north-east and was still extant in 1875; it is assumed that both structures were erected by the Board of Ordnance, possibly for the issue of gunpowder on the occasions of drill and reviews in Hyde Park. The original architect is unknown. The magazine remained in military use as workshops and stores until 1963 when it was transferred to the Ministry of Public Building and Works. From 2010, it was converted into an art gallery, with a renovation project directed by Zaha Hadid, which included the addition of the adjoining restaurant. Inauguration of the art gallery took place in 2013, with the name Serpentine Sackler Gallery, following a £5.5m donation from a foundation run by Theresa and Mortimer Sackler. The Sackler family, members of which owned Purdue Pharma which is behind the painkiller OxyContin, is widely believed to be one of the causes of the US opioid epidemic. The Sacklers have a history of museum philanthropy, with museums around the world accepting donations and naming buildings, wings, galleries and more after the family. This trend, which begun in the 2nd half of the 20th century and continued until the 2010s, was reversed by campaigns by victims of the opioid epidemic. In the case of Serpentine North, artist Hito Steyerl opened up an exposition in the site publicly dennouncing the Sacklers. Following Steyerl's remarks, the gallery put out a statement that concluded: “Donations to the Serpentine from the Sackler Trust are historic and we have no future plans to accept funding from the Sacklers.” In spring 2021, the Serpentine announced a name change from Serpentine Sackler Gallery to Serpentine North but the sign in the front of the building displayed the Sackler name until 2022.
