It is part of the Affinity Learning Partnership. (Formerly The de Ferrers Trust.) History Granville received specialised Sports College status in January 2008. The county council was looking at a possible merger between the school and the William Allitt School. but this is no longer on the cards. The school is near the very busy A511 road, which has been the scene of accidents some involving pupils. The traffic has increased since the Ashby-de-la-Zouch bypass opened in March 2002. Plans by the local council, Derbyshire County Council, aiming to improve road safety were rejected by Granville Academy with a spokesperson for the trust that runs Granville Academy suggesting this was because of "...concerns around site security and the safeguarding of its students". The current Executive Principal for the school is Mrs M Oliphant and has employed many new members of staff including Gemma Lowe, who has took charge as Principal for the school in Oliphant's absence, in order to cover for the following Pingle Academy's resigned Executive Principal, Mr S Hall in 2025.

Graves Park

Graves Park is a large parkland area in the South of Sheffield, between the districts of Norton, Woodseats and Meadowhead. The park was developed by Alderman J. G. Graves between 1926 and 1936, to protect the thousand year old woodland from building development. Mr Graves donated the 100.362 hectares (248 acres) park to the city. The park is a mixture of open and woodland, with several streams flowing through it. There are three small lakes bordered by mature trees. To the north-east of the park is the animal farm, home of many rare breeds of cattle, pigs, chickens and donkeys. Near the Charles Ashmore Road entrance are a practice golf course, two bowling greens and several hard tennis courts. At the north side of the park (Derbyshire Lane entrance) there is a large open area which has 2 cricket pitches and around 10 football pitches. The football pitches are regularly used by the public, particularly on Sundays for the Sheffield and District Junior Sunday League. The park is managed by a charitable trust owned wholly by Sheffield Council. In recent times however, the council has been criticised by the Charity Commission over its management of the park.

Gravetye Manor

Gravetye Manor is a manor house located near East Grinstead, West Sussex, England. The former home of landscape gardener William Robinson, it is now a hotel and restaurant holding, in 2020, one star in the Michelin Guide, and is listed Grade I on the National Heritage List for England, its gardens are also Grade II* listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. History The two-storey Elizabethan house was built in 1598 by Richard Infield, an ironmaster, for his new bride Katherine Compton. It was the home of William Robinson, author of The English Flower Garden, from 1884 until his death in 1935. He commissioned architect Sir Ernest George to add a matching wing to the northeast and developed the garden into one of the most famous in England. After his death it and the surrounding 1,000 acres (400 ha) natural landscaped grounds were left to the Forestry Commission. Used as a base for Canadian Army soldiers during World War II, who dug out parts of Robinson's garden to plant potatoes and leeks to supplement their rations, postwar it was left derelict for many years. Country house hotel In 1958, the property and grounds were leased to business partners Robin Howard, and restaurateur Peter Herbert and his first wife Pip. Herbert was later considered a pioneer of the country house hotel, turning the property into a 17 bedroom hotel which, through use of a noted kitchen garden, gained its Michelin star. During his 40 years of ownership, Herbert also restored Robinson's core 52 acres (21 ha) of natural gardens (which cost £50,000 per annum to maintain), with the hotel and kitchen becoming rated one of the UK's top five hotels. In 2004, Peter Herbert and his second wife Sue retired to a cottage on the house lands, and sold the business to Andrew Russell and chef Mark Raffan, under whose management, following the Great Recession, the business fell into administration early in 2010. After the administrators agreed a deal with Von Essen Hotels, in March 2010 the property lease was bought by long-term guest and professional investor Jeremy Hosking, who has since invested £2.5M in the property and gardens. He has also invested in a new building infilling the courtyard to provide a new restaurant designed by architect Sir Charles Knowles, another long-term guest. The gardens still exist and are accessible to hotel guests. References External links Official website William Robinson. Gravetye Manor : or, twenty years' work round an old manor house. 1911.

Grays Antique Market

Grays Antique Market is an antiques market in Mayfair, London, close to Bond Street station. Dealers specialise in antiques, jewellery, watches and collectables. The centre is home to nearly 100 dealers on 2 levels. History The Grays dealers are situated in a grade-two listed building on Davies Street designed by the Edwardian architect Reginald Bloomsfield. The building was originally commissioned by water closet manufacturers, John Bolding and Son. In 1977 it was restored by Bennie Gray, the founder of Grays from a near-derelict site to the former glories of the water closet showroom. The Mews and the River Tyburn The Mews section is now closed and many of the dealers from that part of the building now trade from the sister company Alfies Antique Market located in Marylebone. The Mews section of Grays was built circa 1900 and was also taken over by Bolding in 1931. The basement of the Mews had been under six feet of water for many years, and on closer inspection it was found that a spring arose from one end of the building. Now renovated, the shop claims that the water flowing through a conduit in its basement is the River Tyburn, which rises in Hampstead and flows underground towards the River Thames. The Londonist website describes this suggestion as "fanciful", as the modern Tyburn is contained in a conduit.

Graythwaite Hall

Graythwaite Hall, near Ulverston, Cumbria in the Lake District of England is the home of the Sandys family. One of the more famous members of the family was Edwin Sandys, who was Archbishop of York (1576–88) and was founder of Hawkshead Grammar School which William Wordsworth attended. The hall dates from the 17th century and extension work was carried out in the 18th century. In the 19th century some major refacing gave the hall a Gothic Revival or Tudor Revival appearance. Grounds The house is surrounded by 7 acres (28,000 m2) of gardens laid out by Thomas Hayton Mawson from 1886 for Colonel Thomas Sandys. The importance of the commission in Mawson's development as a landscape architect has been discussed by garden historians, and was acknowledged by Mawson himself in his book The Art and Craft of Garden Making (1900). The gardens are set in a wooded valley. An arboretum contains some fine trees. The woods surrounding the estate were a favourite walking spot for William Wordsworth, and were the backdrop for Beatrix Potter's story 'The Fairy Caravan' . The ornamental iron gates at the entrance to the formal gardens were designed by Dan Gibson, a local architect. Gibson went on to collaborate with Mawson on other projects such as Brockhole and Hanley Park. Conservation and access The Hall is one of a number of listed buildings in the area (see Listed buildings in Satterthwaite). It was listed Grade II in 1970. Graythwaite is designated Grade II* in the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England. The grounds were listed in 2020. The gardens within the grounds are open to the public from early April until mid August, However, the hall is closed to the public. The gardens are probably best viewed in late spring when the rhododendrons and azaleas are in bloom. However, the Dutch garden and the former rose garden (Mawson's design for the latter has been altered) add interest in other seasons. References Cited sources Books Mawson, Thomas (1900).

Graythorp

Graythorp was a village and now a trading estate within the borough of Hartlepool and the ceremonial county of County Durham, England. It is located on the A178 Tees Road about 1 mile south of Hartlepool. The village was constructed by shipbuilder William Gray and Company to house workers at his Graythorp shipyard on Greatham Creek/Seaton Channel on the River Tees. Graythorp today is an industrial estate historically associated with a shipyard basin currently operated by Able UK as a marine recycling facility. Graythorp shipyard and dock In 1913 the Hartlepool shipbuilders William Gray & Company leased land to construct a shipyard off Greatham Creek near the mouth of the Tees capable of building ships of 20,000 tons in weight. Due to the First World War the yard was not completed until 1924 and became known as Graythorp Shipyard, Gray constructed ships there from 1924 until the company closed in 1963. In 1969 after liquidation the yard was purchased by Laing Offshore. In 1970 Laing added dock gates to create a 100 hectares (250 acres) dry dock, at the time the largest in the world, and with it constructed offshore oil and gas platforms, and jackets (platform legs) from 1970 to 1990. In 1996 Able UK Ltd purchased the yard and used it to do dismantling work for several petrochemical companies, while allowing the tenant construction of other marine structures. In 2003 Able UK signed an £11m deal with the US Marine Administration to dismantle 13 US warships; subsequently the process was opposed by some local residents and environmental groups due to the presence of asbestos and other toxins on the ships. The French aircraft carrier Clemenceau was also contracted to be recycled on the site. Recycling of the ships was completed in 2011.

Great Ballard School

Great Ballard School is a co-educational independent school for children aged 2½ to 16 years. It was founded in 1924 and set up at its current location in Eartham, near Chichester, West Sussex, England, in 1961. The headmaster is Matthew King. Eartham House The school's main building, Eartham House, was originally built in 1800 and was occupied by the poet William Hayley. The house was subsequently purchased by William Huskisson, a prominent nineteenth-century politician who was a member of parliament for Chichester and served in the governments of Lord Liverpool and the Duke of Wellington. Huskisson, despite his high-profile political career, is best remembered for the tragic manner of his death – he was run over by George Stephenson's locomotive engine The Rocket at the opening of the Liverpool to Manchester railway line in 1830. Eartham House was entirely rebuilt in 1905 to designs by the architect Edwin Lutyens, but some Regency decorations and fireplaces are still retained in one room. The house was listed as a Grade II listed building by the Ministry of Works in 1958. School history Since its founding, the school has had many homes, including the original site at New Milton Hampshire. It remained there until the Second World War, when it was relocated to Dorset and then to Stowell Park in Gloucestershire, where it stayed until 1947. For a short time it was then at Cordwalles, Camberley, Surrey, where the Queen had carried out her ATS training, until a fire forced a temporary return to Stowell Park. After repairs, the school remained in Camberley until moving to its current location in 1961, chosen because the area around its home at Camberley had become more urbanised.

Great Dixter

Great Dixter is a house in Northiam, East Sussex, England. It was built in 1910–12 by architect Edwin Lutyens, who combined an existing mid-15th century house on the site with a similar structure brought from Benenden, Kent, together with his own additions. It is a Grade I listed building. The garden, widely known for its continuous tradition of sophisticated plantsmanship, is Grade I listed in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. House The original Northiam house, known as Dixter, dating from the mid-15th century, was acquired by a businessman named Nathaniel Lloyd in 1909. He had a 16th-century house in a similar style moved from Kent and the two were combined with new work by Lutyens to create a much larger house, which was rechristened Great Dixter. It is a romantic recreation of a medieval manor house, complete with great hall, parlour, solar and yeoman's hall. Garden Lloyd and Lutyens began the garden at Great Dixter, but it was Lloyd's son Christopher Lloyd, a well known garden writer and television personality, who made it famous. The garden is in the arts and crafts style, and features topiary, a long border, an orchard and a wild flower meadow. The planting is profuse, yet structured, and has featured many bold experiments of form, colour and combination. The garden is currently managed by Fergus Garrett, who worked closely with Lloyd up to his death in 2006 as Head Gardener and introduced a number of innovations to the planting scheme. In the grounds of Great Dixter are three 18th-century oast houses, under a common roof, and a 15th-century barn. These are Grade II* listed. Management The house and garden are open to the public from the end of March to late October each year, while the nursery is open year-round. In 2003, the Great Dixter Charitable Trust was established by Christopher Lloyd to ensure the property was preserved after his death. Education is at the heart of the trust's work. A number of student placements and scholarships are offered every year to ensure that the skills of managing an intricate, complex garden are passed on. Study days, week-long symposia, workshops and lectures are held frequently. References External links Official site Daily pics from Great Dixter Garden
Great Dixter

Great Dixter est une propriété à Northiam, dans le Sussex de l'Est, en Angleterre. La maison a été construite en 1910-12 par l'architecte Edwin Lutyens, qui a combiné une maison préexistante du milieu du XVe siècle avec une maison de structure similaire récupérée de Benenden, dans le Kent, en plus de ses propres ajouts. C'est un monument classé de Grade I. Le jardin est classé Grade I dans le Registre National des Parcs et Jardins d'Intérêt Historiques d'Angleterre. La maison La maison de Northiam originelle, connue sous le nom de Dixter, remontant au milieu du XVe siècle, a été acquise par un homme d'affaires nommé Nathaniel Lloyd en 1909. Il a déplacé du Kent une maison de style similaire du XVIe siècle et les deux ont été combinées avec quelques ajouts par Lutyens pour créer une maison beaucoup plus grande, rebaptisée Great Dixter. C'est une réinterprétation romantique d'un manoir médiéval complet avec Grande Salle, salon, logis et chambre. Jardin Lloyd et Lutyens ont commencé le jardin à Great Dixter, mais c'est le fils de Lloyd Christopher Lloyd, jardinier, écrivain et personnalité de la télévision, qui l'a rendu célèbre. Le jardin est de style Arts & Craft, et comprend des topiaires, une grande allée de fleur, un verger et une prairie de fleurs sauvages. La plantation est abondante, mais structurée, et expérimente d'audacieuses combinaisons de formes, de textures et de couleur. Le jardin est actuellement géré par Fergus Garrett, qui a travaillé en tant que Chef Jardinier en étroite collaboration avec Lloyd jusqu'à sa mort en 2006 et a introduit un certain nombre d'innovations dans le schéma de plantation. Sur les terres de Great Dixter se trouvent trois bâtiments de stockage et séchage du houblon du XVIIIe siècle sous un toit commun, et une grange du XVe siècle. Ces bâtiments sont classés Grade II*. Gestion La maison et le jardin sont ouverts au public pour une partie de l'année. Journées d'étude, ateliers et des conférences sont organisés fréquemment. Un organisme de bienfaisance appelé le Great Dixter Charitable Trust a été créé pour assurer la préservation du lieu.
