St. Nicholas' Park, commonly known as "St. Nick's", is a park is situated in the centre of Warwick, England. Bordering the park to the south is the River Avon. History The area which is now the park was once meadow land, also called St. Nicholas Meadow, and was situated on the southern edge of the town. The site was purchased by Warwick Borough Council in the 1930s in response to the towns growth with formal and children's gardens being laid out. Following World War II the eastern side of the meadow was laid out as playing fields. There was also an outdoor swimming pool for public use. The cottages in the park by the brook (St John's Brook) were at that time a watermill. The current park The outdoor swimming pool has now been replaced by an indoor leisure centre. As well as the pool there is a sports hall and a floodlit outdoor astroturf pitches. The children's corner now has small fairground rides and a mini golf course as well as an outdoor paddling pool.

St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel

St. Pancras London, Autograph Collection Hotel, dříve zvaný Midland Grand Hotel St Pancras, je londýnský hotel v blízkosti železničního nádraží St. Pankras. Je známý i jako lokace natáčení několika známých filmů. Historie V roce 1865, ještě během výstavby přilehlého nádraží St. Pankras, vypsala společnost Midland Railway Company soutěž na návrh hotelu o 150 lůžcích, které se zúčastnilo 11 architektů. Sir George Gilbert Scott podal návrh, který sice daleko předčil původní parametry, nakonec ale v soutěži uspěl. Kvůli snížení cen byl mírně upraven a hotel je tak oproti původnímu návrhu například nižší o jedno patro. Stavba se potýkala se zpožděním, východní křídlo hotelu bylo otevřeno 5. května 1873 a zbytek stavby následoval na jaře 1876. V době otevření obsahoval Midland Grand Hotel 300 pokojů a obsahoval na svou dobu množství technických inovací včetně hydraulických výtahů, betonových podlah, otáčecích dveří a protipožárních opatření. Luxusní hotel prosperoval až do období po první světové válce, kdy podlehl všeobecnému úpadku v poptávce po ubytovacích službách. Hotel v roce 1922 změnil vlastníka, než v roce 1935 došlo k jeho uzavření z finančních důvodů; v budově od té doby sídlily drážní kanceláře. Budova přežila německé nálety na Londýn během 2. světové války i demolici, která ji hrozila v 60. letech. Následně ale musela být vyklizena, když v 80. letech přestala vyhovovat požadavkům požární bezpečnosti. Poté, co léta chátral, se hotel dočkal rekonstrukce v 90. letech. Přestože byl interiér místy poničen vandaly, podařilo se zrestaurovat většinu původních dekorací. Hotel obnovil svůj provoz v roce 2011. Výskyt v médiích Hotel je populární lokací pro filmování a objevil se v následujících médiích: film Harry Potter a tajemná komnata a Harry Potter a relikvie smrti (část 2), kde sloužil jako vstup na nádraží King's Cross film Batman Begins (hlavní schodiště sloužilo jako kulisa pro léčebnu Arkham Asylum) seriál The Crown videoklip ke skladbě Wannabe skupiny Spice Girls (na hlavním schodišti) Zajímavosti Na internetu se v roce 2022 stala trendem záhada růžového sportovního vozu McLaren 570s, který před hotelem údajně parkoval nepřetržitě po dobu dvou let. Vysvětlení poskytl v komentářích k jednomu z videí údajný zaměstnanec hotelu, podle kterého vůz patřil hostu, který se ubytoval na začátku pandemie covidu-19, když měl potíže odcestovat do své domoviny. To po dotazu médií potvrdili i zaměstnanci hotelu. Reference Externí odkazy Obrázky, zvuky či videa k tématu St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel na Wikimedia Commons

St Peter's Church, Barnburgh

St Peter's Church, Barnburgh is a parish church of the Church of England situated at the centre of the village of Barnburgh, near Doncaster in South Yorkshire. Famous for the legend of the 'Cat and Man', the church serves the communities of Barnburgh and Harlington. Construction St Peter's consists of a tower of four stages surmounted by a small, squat spire, a nave with north and south aisles, a chancel with a north aisle or chapel, and a porch. The church is built of a mixture of sandstone and magnesium limestone. Although there has been a church on this site since c. 1150 AD, nothing remains of the original church. There is a private chantry chapel north of the chancel for the Cresacre family, whose males were lords of Barnburgh from the 13th to the 16th century. Most of this chapel is taken up by the tomb of Sir Percival Cresacre (who died in 1477) and his wife, Alice (died 1450). Cat and Man Legend The Cat and Man Legend tells of events said to have occurred before the 15th century. There was formerly a hall at Barnburgh which was in the possession of the Cresacre family. According to the legend, a knight of the Cresacre family (reputedly Sir Percival Cresacre, but this is disputed) was returning home late on the heavily wooded track from Doncaster through Sprotborough and High Melton. As he was approaching Barnburgh, a wildcat (or a lynx) sprang out of the branches of a tree and landed on the back of his horse. The horse threw its rider to the ground and fled. The cat then turned on the knight and there followed a long and deadly struggle between the two which continued all the way from Ludwell Hill to Barnburgh. After fighting the cat the mile's distance to the village of Barnburgh, the knight made for the porch of St Peter's Church, presumably to try to get inside the church and close the door on the animal. The fight had been so fierce, however, that Sir Percival fell dying in the church porch and, in his last, dying struggle, stretched out his feet and crushed the cat against the wall of the porch. Thus, the legend goes, the cat killed the man and the man killed the cat. They were found sometime later by the search party that went out after the knight's horse had returned home riderless. Stones in the floor of the porch of St Peter's are tainted with red. There is also a cat at the feet of the Cresacre effigy in the north aisle of the church.

St Peter's Church, Carlton Colville

St. Peter's Church is the Anglican parish church in the village of Carlton Colville, near Lowestoft in Suffolk, England. It is a small church with 13th-century origins, the oldest recorded building in the village. The structure is Grade II* listed building. The church as it stands today is largely Victorian however, rebuilt in the style of a medieval church in the 1880s – the church had a wealthy rector, who had the church almost completely rebuilt at his own expense. The tower is original 13th century, restored rather than replaced, but the rest is mainly 19th century work. But several of the old windows were reused, and it is still a fine building, and a popular venue for weddings. The parish is part of the Carlton Colville and Mutford benefice, within the Diocese of Norwich. It now serves the housing estates around the area, as well as the old village itself.

St Peter's Church, Farndon

St. Peter's Church, Farndon is a parish church in the Church of England in Farndon, Nottinghamshire. The church is Grade I listed as a building of outstanding architectural or historic interest. History The Church of St. Peter at Farndon "was erected during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and... consists of chancel, nave with clerestory, a south aisle with an arcade of three bays, a western square tower containing four bells, and with an entrance porch. Portions of Saxon work, perhaps belonging to the first church, are to be found built in the north wall of the nave; the second church is represented by the columns and arches of the south aisle; while the third and present church is chiefly built in the Perpendicular style. The font is an Early English one. The date on the nave roof, which is well constructed, is 1664, and there are two stained glass windows of some merit, one on the south side of the chancel and the other in the aisle. Much interest was taken in an ancient sword, thought to be Saxon, and measuring 2ft 41⁄2 ins (72 cm) long, which was discovered when excavating under the present church in October, 1892. This "Viking sword from Farndon Church" is now preserved in the church vestry." The sword is thought to represent "evidence of Danish and Viking attacks in the Newark area," and the sword is illustrated in David Kaye's "History of Nottinghamshire." In recent years, the four church bells have been augmented to six and re-hung. St. Peter's church is located at the extreme southwest of the village proper. An 1884 map of Farndon can be seen.
