Peckwater Quadrangle

The Peckwater Quadrangle (known as "Peck" to students) is one of the quadrangles of Christ Church, Oxford, England. It is a Grade I listed building. Christ Church Library is on the south side of the quad. To the southeast is Canterbury Quadrangle, with access to Oriel Square via Canterbury Gate. Peckwater Quad is on the site of a medieval inn, which was run by the Peckwater family and given to St Frideswide's Priory in 1246. The buildings on the north, east and west sides of the Quadrangle were designed by Henry Aldrich and built by William Townesend between 1706 and 1711. They constitute one of the earliest examples of English neo-Palladian architecture. The Library, on the south side, dates from later in the 18th century. First floor rooms in this quad have traditionally been particularly sought after by undergraduate members of the college due to their size, oak panelling and high ceilings. The largest examples of these rooms can be found in the corners of the building. On 12 May 1894 and again on 20 February 1927, after dinner, Bullingdon Club members smashed almost all the glass of the lights and 468 windows in the quadrangle, along with the blinds and doors of the building.

Peckwater Quadrangle

Peckwater Quadrangle (känd som "Peck" för studenter) är en av de kvadratiska collegegårdarna i Christ Church, Oxford, England. Det är en kulturminnesmärkt byggnad. Christ Church Library ligger på södra sidan innergården. I sydost ligger Canterbury Quadrangle, med tillgång till Oriel Square via Canterbury Gate. Peckwater Quad ligger på platsen för ett medeltida värdshus, som drevs av familjen Peckwater och gavs till klostret St Frideswide's Priory 1246. Byggnaderna på norra, östra och västra sidan av gården ritades av Henry Aldrich och byggdes av William Townesend mellan 1706 och 1711. De utgör ett av de tidigaste exemplen på engelsk neo-palladiansk arkitektur. Biblioteket, på södra sidan, är från senare delen av 1700-talet. Rummen på första våningen i denna fyrkant har traditionellt sett varit särskilt eftertraktade av studenter på högskolan på grund av deras storlek, ekpaneler och höga tak. De största exemplen på dessa rum finns i hörnen av byggnaden. Den 12 maj 1894 och återigen den 20 februari 1927, efter middagen, krossade Bullingdon Club-medlemmar nästan allt glas i kristallkronorna och 468 fönster, tillsammans med persiennerna och dörrarna till byggnaden.

Peddimore Hall

Peddimore Hall is a manor house in the Minworth, Peddimore area of Sutton Coldfield in Birmingham, West Midlands, England. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade II listed building. It is now in use as a private residence. Peddimore was first mentioned in 1281 when it was conveyed by Thomas Arden of Ratley to Hugh de Vienne and subsequently to Thomas and Rose de Arden of Hanwell in 1286. In 1288, the owners of Peddimore Hall were allowed by the Earl of Warwick, William de Beauchamp to fish in Ebrook (now Plants Brook) on his land, allow his pigs to roam in the woods and was allowed to remove timber for building reparations. A building on site is first mentioned in 1361 when John de Arden was granted a licence for a private chapel. Peddimore Hall is encircled by a double moat, which forms a rectangular site. A double moat was often used as a status symbol during the time, however, it was also practical in preventing access from thieves, enclosing livestock and also provided water for fires or animals. The double moat dates to the 13th century and a manor has been located on the rectangular site since 1281. The current brick structure was built in 1659 on the site of an earlier homestead, the structure of which may partly be incorporated into it. It was built by William Wilson and first occupied by William Wood, a prominent Royalist and Warden of the Sutton Corporation in 1662 and 1676. There are farm buildings within the grounds, some of which are timber-framed. The building is built of red brick with red sandstone angle-dressings and moulded plinth. It is two storeys tall. A drawbridge crosses the moat at the entrance. The old timber-framed barn on the farm dates from 1385 and is believed to have not been altered since that date. When World War II began, the government commissioned a photographic record of the house and grounds for if it were destroyed by bombing. Although a large bomb did explode in nearby Walmley Ash Lane, the house was not damaged in the war. Archaeological work has been conducted in 1977 and 1980. The first work in 1977 was a ground survey and the 1980 investigation consisted of excavations on site. An archaeological evaluation was carried out by the Birmingham University Field Archaeology Unit in 1998. References External links Birmingham.gov.uk: Scheduled Ancient Monuments - Peddimore Hall
Peel Island, Cumbria

Peel Island (formerly known as Montague Island or the Gridiron) is one of the three islands of Coniston Water in the English Lake District, Cumbria. The two others are Fir Island (which is connected to the shore unless the water is particularly high) and Oak Island. It is most famous for being one of the inspirations for Arthur Ransome's Wild Cat Island. Today, it is a popular tourist destination, and belongs to the National Trust. History The name Peel means a fortified site. In 1896 the antiquarian W. G. Collingwood conducted excavations on the island and discovered: the remains of fortifications and other stone buildings, chambers cut into rock, metal-working slag, a fragment of a domestic mortar, and pottery. These he dated to the mediaeval period. There is no record that this was ever a conventional castle, and the antiquarian Henry Swainson Cowper conjectures that it was a short-lived stronghold of a petty outlaw. The local name Gridiron derives from the parallel rock ridges running the length of the island. The name Montague Island derives from Elizabeth Montague (1743–1827), a descendent of George Monck, 1st Duke of Albemarle, who was gifted the local manor by King Charles II. Peel Island has belonged to the National Trust since it was given to them by John Montagu-Douglas-Scott, 7th Duke of Buccleuch, along with 11 acres (4.5 ha) of woodland, in 1932. Wild Cat Island Peel Island is considered to be one of the origins of the fictional Wild Cat Island in the 1930 book Swallows and Amazons and its sequels, by Arthur Ransome. Taqui Altounyan, sister of Roger Altounyan and inspiration for one of the characters in Swallows and Amazons, described Peel Island in her autobiography In Aleppo Once as "like a green tuffet, sitting in the water, the trees covering the rocks". The island also features in W. G. Collingwood's novel Thorstein of the Mere, A Saga of the Northmen in Lakeland. Ransome, at the age of eight, first met the Collingwoods at a family picnic on Peel Island: a chance meeting that would prove to have important consequences in Ransome's later life, with Collingwood's grandchildren providing a model for significant characters in Swallows and Amazons. Accident In 1967, Donald Campbell died near Peel Island while trying to set a world water speed record with a speed in excess of 300 miles per hour (480 km/h). References

Pemberton's Parlour

Pemberton's Parlour is a structure on the northern part of the Chester city walls, and it was formerly known as the Goblin Tower. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. History The structure originated as a circular tower straddling the city walls. During the reign of Queen Anne it was rebuilt as a semicircular tower. It was reconstructed in 1894. It is now described as a gazebo, and is said to be named after John Pemburton, the mayor of Chester, who stood on it to supervise the work taking place on his nearby ropewalk. Architecture The structure is built in red sandstone. On the south side, facing the walkway of the walls, is an arch leading to a semicircular chamber. Above this are three panels, the lateral ones containing the royal arms, and the arms of Chester in relief. Between these is another panel in yellow sandstone with an inscription relating to the repair of the walls in the 18th century. The parapet is crenellated and inscribed with "GOBLIN TOWER: REBUILT 1894". See also Grade I listed buildings in Cheshire West and Chester References

Penallt Viaduct

Penallt Viaduct, also known as Redbrook Bridge, is a disused railway viaduct across the River Wye between England and Wales. It spans the river just south-east of Monmouth, between Penallt, in Monmouthshire, on the Welsh side, and Redbrook, in Gloucestershire, on the English side. It is located within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It formerly carried the Wye Valley Railway. The route opened on 1 November 1876. Design The viaduct is a single-track structure of five wrought-iron lattice girder spans supported on four pairs of cast-iron columns which have X-shaped bracing between them. Each span is a separate girder and the piers are at right angles to the river current, giving the bridge a sharp skew. A steel footbridge on concrete supports, attached to the viaduct on the upstream side by steel brackets, was added in 1955. It is located between the former Redbrook on Wye and Penallt Halt stations. Passenger services ceased on the railway in 1959 and it closed to freight in January 1964. The footbridge was jointly provided by the pre-1974 Monmouthshire and Gloucestershire County Councils who agreed in 1953 to pay for the construction of the footbridge attached to the viaduct. History The bridge was built from 1875 and opened in 1876 for the Monmouth and Wye Valley Railway, which was later absorbed into the Great Western Railway. It was designed by the engineers S. H. Yockney and Son of Westminster, and built by the contractors Reed Brothers of London. The line closed to passenger services in 1959 and freight in 1964 but the footbridge remained open to provide a pedestrian route across the river and between the two villages. It is part of the Wye Valley Walk long-distance footpath. In 2012, it and two other nearby former railway bridges over the Wye—one at Lydbrook and the Tintern Wireworks Bridge—underwent a condition survey as part of a project to explore possible future uses. The survey was followed by a public consultation, organised by the Wye Valley AONB authorities. Proposals emerged the following year for restoration and conservation which was estimated to cost £600,000–£900,000. The bridge is a Grade II listed building in both England and Wales; it was first designated in England on 24 September 1984 and in Wales on 28 February 2001. The Welsh designation notes the reason for the listing as "unusually interesting survival of an all metal railway bridge dating from 1876 in an exceptional location".

Pendle Heritage Centre

Pendle Heritage Centre is a museum and visitor centre in Barrowford, Lancashire, England, dedicated to the history and heritage of Pendle. The heritage centre occupies Park Hill, a two-storey former farmhouse which has a 1661 date stone but was developed over an extended period between the 16th century and the beginning of the 18th century. The centre has an 18th-century walled garden and woodland walk, and houses the Pendle Arts Gallery. Park Hill is an old farmhouse that has been restored using traditional building techniques to provide visitors with an insight on how the house has been developed and adapted from the 15th century. The centre, formed in 1977, is one of the Heritage Trust for the North West's flagship projects, attracting over 100,000 visitors a year. The permanent exhibitions include the story of Park Hill as a working farm, the history of the Bannister and Swinglehurst families who occupied the house and the Pendle witches. Sir Roger Bannister is a descendant of the family that once lived here. To commemorate the 400th anniversary of the trials of the Pendle witches, a new long-distance walking route called the Lancashire Witches Walk has been created. Ten tercet waymarkers, designed by Stephen Raw, each inscribed with a verse of a poem by Carol Ann Duffy have been installed along the route, with the first located here, to mark the start-point.

Pendock Church

Pendock Church is a redundant Anglican church standing to the southeast of the hamlet of Sledge Green in the parish of Pendock, Worcestershire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It stands in an isolated position overlooking and to the north of the M50 motorway. To its north are the earthworks of a former medieval village. History The church dates from the 12th century. Alterations and additions were made to it in the 14th century, and again in the 15th century when the west tower was built. The church was vested in the Churches Conservation Trust on 1 November 1987. Architecture Exterior It is constructed in sandstone rubble and has a tiled roof. Its plan consists of a two-bay nave with a north porch, a chancel with a roof at a lower level than the nave, a vestry to the north of the chancel, and a west tower. The nave measures 37 feet (11.3 m) by 18 feet (5.5 m), and the chancel 18 feet (5.5 m) by 12 feet (3.7 m). The tower is in three stages. In its lowest stage are diagonal buttresses, and a two-light west window; in the stage above is a thin rectangular window. The upper stage contains a two-light louvred bell opening on each side, and at the top is a parapet behind which is a pyramidal roof. The porch is timber-framed and the round-headed inner doorway is decorated with carvings, including chevrons. Also in the north wall of the nave is a two-light window under a pointed head. The south wall of the nave has two two-light windows between which is another round-headed doorway that is plain rather than decorated with carving. The south and east walls of the chancel each have a two-light window. Interior The nave and chancel ceilings are plastered. Above and to the left of the chancel arch are fragments of wall painting. In the chancel is a piscina with a triangular head. The communion rails dated from the 17th century and have turned balusters, and the pews contain linenfold panels. There are boards in the nave painted with the Lord's Prayer and the Creed. Under the tower are tiles with the Ten Commandments and the names of the churchwardens of 1851. The font dates from the 10th century; it is plain and simple, with a circular bowl on a circular base. The organ is a chamber organ of unknown date that was restored in 1978 by Nicholson & Co of Worcester. It is thought that Sir Edward Elgar may have played this organ. There is a ring of four bells. The oldest is dated 1686 by an unknown maker; there are two bells by Abel Rudhall, one cast in 1745 and 1753, and the fourth, originally of 1745 was recast in 1908 by H. Bond of Burford. The church plate includes a paten and flagon dated 1740, a bread knife with a silver handle of 1750, and a cup dated 1766.
