Swerford Castle

Swerford Castle ist eine abgegangene mittelalterliche Burg im Dorf Swerford in der englischen Grafschaft Oxfordshire. Geschichte Swerford Castle wurde im 12. Jahrhundert als Motte gebaut. Es wurde so positioniert, dass man von ihm aus die Furt über den Fluss Swere und das Dorf überwachen konnte. Die heute erhaltenen Überreste legen den Schluss nahe, dass die Burg in den Jahren der Anarchie entstand, möglicherweise für dieselbe Familie, die auch Ascot d’Oilly Castle bauen ließ. Konstruktion Der Hauptmound hat oben einen Durchmesser von 18 Metern und am Fuß einen von 30 Metern. Der Burghof war 52 Meter × 42 Meter groß und durch einen tiefen Graben geschützt. Die heute erhaltenen Überreste – ausschließlich Erdwerke – gelten als Scheduled Monument. Einzelnachweise
Swerford Castle

Swerford Castle was a medieval castle in the village of Swerford, Oxfordshire, England. History Swerford Castle was built in a motte and bailey design in the 12th century. It was positioned so as to overlook the local ford of the River Swere and the village of Swerford. Archaeological remains suggest that the castle was probably constructed during the years of the Anarchy, probably by the same family that built Ascot d'Oilly Castle. The central motte is 18 m wide in diameter on top, and 30 m in diameter at the base, and 4 m tall; the wider bailey is approximately 52 m by 42 m, with a deep ditch. The remains today are a scheduled monument. See also Castles in Great Britain and Ireland List of castles in England References

Terling Place

Terling Place is a country house within the civil parish of Terling, Essex, England, located to the south of All Saints' Church, Terling. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a Grade II listed building. It was built for John Strutt, MP between 1772 and 1777 to the designs of John Johnson. The wings, a new porch, a two-storey saloon (with a gallery, and a frieze based on the Elgin Marbles) and a library were added between 1818 and 1824. The house was redecorated in 1850, when a conservatory was added. It is a Grade II* listed building. From John Strutt the house passed to his eldest surviving son, Joseph, whose wife Lady Charlotte FitzGerald was created Baroness Rayleigh in 1821. The 3rd Lord Rayleigh established a laboratory in the west wing, which remains to this day. Indeed, he used apparatus from this laboratory to isolate argon in the cellar of Terling Place in 1894, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1904. References
Warden Railway Bridge

Warden Railway Bridge is a railway bridge carrying the Tyne Valley line between Newcastle upon Tyne and Carlisle across the River South Tyne near Warden, Northumberland. History The first bridge at Warden for the railway between Newcastle upon Tyne and Carlisle was designed by John Blackmore and originally built of timber; it burnt down in 1848 and cast-iron arches were placed on the original piers.

St Michael and All Angels' Church, Welshampton

The Church of St Michael and All Angels is a Grade II listed Anglican church in the village of Welshampton in Shropshire. It was built in the 1860s for Frances Mainwaring and Salusbury Kynaston Mainwaring, in memory of Charles Kynaston Mainwaring of Oteley. The architect was George Gilbert Scott. There was originally a medieval church, which was replaced in 1788 by a church for Mary Kynaston of Oteley; this was replaced by Scott's church. Building The walls are of yellow sandstone ashlar; it has a slate roof which has a lozenge pattern over the nave and a zig-zag pattern over the chancel. The chancel has a semicircular apsidal shape. There are buttresses at the corners of the church and against the chancel. On the roof at the junction of the nave and chancel is a bellcote. The church has lancet windows. The stained glass includes, in a west window a commemoration of Charles Kynaston Mainwaring, and in the north-west window of the nave a commemoration of Jeremiah Libopuoa Moshueshue (see below). The link with Lesotho In the churchyard is buried an African prince, Jeremiah Libopuoa Moshueshue (1839-1863). He was a son of Moshueshue I of Lesotho. The history of this link with Lesotho (at that time known as Basutoland) began when the vicar of Welshampton, Thomas Buckley-Owen, was offered a post in Lesotho. He turned it down because the new church in Welshampton would soon be complete; however, he maintained contact with the country. Moshueshue I sent two of his junior sons to study at an Anglican school in Zonnebloem. One of them, Jeremiah Libopuoa, came to England to train as a priest. He visited Welshampton when the new church was consecrated in 1863; during the visit he caught a fever and died. In 2010 Queen 'Masenate Mohato Seeiso of Lesotho visited the church, where she attended a service and paid respects to the grave of prince Jeremiah Libopuoa.

Whitchurch Lock

Das Whitchurch Lock ist eine Schleuse in der Themse in England. Sie wurde 1787 von den Thames Navigation Commission gebaut. Sie liegt an einer Insel südlich von Whitchurch-on-Thames in Oxfordshire. Die Schleuse ist die einzige in der Themse, die nur mit dem Boot erreicht werden kann. Das Wehr quert den Fluss zum in Berkshire gelegenen Ort Pangbourne, wo der River Pang südlich der Schleuse in die Themse mündet. Geschichte Eine Stauschleuse wird erstmals im 16. Jahrhundert bei Whitchurch erwähnt. Auf Zeichnungen ist erkennbar, dass es einen massiven Damm gab, der höher als das übliche Hochwasser des Flusses war. Am südlichen Ende gab es einen Durchlass mit einer Breite von 9,1 m. Durch Tore und Bretter reguliert, konnte der Fluss an dieser Stelle zwischen 0,91 m und 1,22 m fallen. Die eigentliche Durchfahrt lag in der Mitte des Damms und war 7 m breit, was der Standardbreite für alle Stauschleusen in der Themse unterhalb von Abingdon entspricht. Auf der Nordseite des Flusses gab es eine Winde, um die Schiffe gegen den Strom ziehen zu können. Die Schleuse wurde im Sommer 1787 aus Eichenholz auf der Insel gebaut. Es wurden zuvor andere Standorte erwogen. Die eine Möglichkeit wäre eine Erweiterung des Mühlkanals bei Whitchurch gewesen, die andere eine Schleuse bei Pangbourne. Ein Schleusenwärterhaus wurde 1830 auf der Insel errichtet. Im späten 19. Jahrhundert benutzten die Einheimischen das Wehr zum Überqueren des Flusses, um keine Maut auf der Whitchurch Bridge zahlen zu müssen. Die Schleuse wurde 1876 in Stein gebaut und der Zugang zum Wehr von Pangbourne wurde geschlossen. Der Zugang von Whitchurch zur Schleuse wurde 1888 geschlossen. Der Fluss oberhalb der Schleuse Der Fluss läuft entlang der Chiltern Hills bis zum Goring Gap. Die Gatehampton Railway Bridge liegt in diesem Abschnitt. Es gab vor dem Bau der heutigen Schleuse noch eine weitere Schleuse in diesem Abschnitt, das Harts Lock, doch dieses wurde aufgegeben und seine Überreste wurden 1910 beseitigt. Der Themsepfad überquert den Fluss an der Whitchurch Bridge und durchquert den Ort. Dann geht er durch kleine Wälder und erreicht den Fluss in der Höhe der aufgegebenen Harts Lock Schleuse. Von dort folgt er dem Fluss auf der Seite von Oxfordshire bis nach Goring. Siehe auch Schleusen und Wehre der Themse Weblinks Einzelnachweise

Tile Hill Wood

Tile Hill Wood is a wood between Hawthorn Lane and Banner Lane in the Tile Hill area of Coventry, England. It has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Local Nature Reserve. It is stewarded by the Coventry and District Natural History and Scientific Society. It is a mixed deciduous and coniferous woodland covering 69.92 acres (28.30 ha), with examples of Norway spruce, European larch, and hazel coppice, together with sycamore, oak, spruce, birch, chestnut, ash, and pine. There are specially-built paths suitable for people with disabilities (660 m). These have metal tap rails for people with visual impairment. From 1930, Coventry Corporation established the wood as a Nature Reserve and it had a regular forester assigned to it. Rides were kept clear, and the removal of waste was carried out by horse and cart rather than by tractor or lorry. During the Second World War, large areas of scrub and conifers were cleared to reduce the risk of fire from air raids. During the cyclonic gale of March 1947, five acres (2 ha) of mature spruce trees were uprooted. These were replaced with young trees over several years, and helped to alter the ecological balance of the reserve. The wood received SSSI status in 1952. The status was renewed in 1986 under the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981. The site is an example of semi-natural woodland, and one of the last remaining in the county. The ground cover includes bramble and bracken, with wavy hair-grass, creeping soft-grass, honeysuckle, and great wood-rush. Typical woodland plants include wood-sorrel, primrose and bluebells. In the wetter areas woodmillet and remote sedge are found. A pool near the north edge supports bog mosses, marsh cinquefoil, and cyperus sedge. A small mire is rich with mosses and has some clumps of bottle sedge and white sedge. Uncommon fungi on the site include Clavaria rosea, the first time it has been recorded in the county. Land ownership All land within Tilehill Wood SSSI is owned by the local authority. References
Almary Green

Almary Green is a small lawn in the Cathedral Close in Norwich, Norfolk, England. It is thought to be the site of the probably pre-Conquest church of St Ethelbert, which was burnt to the ground in the 1272 riots along with the bell tower and the Ethelbert Gate, with the latter being rebuilt by the Town on order of King John. Very little is known about St Ethelbert's church, however it is known to pre-date Norwich Cathedral and to have stood when the French Prince Louis plundered Norwich in 1217 after the barons of Norwich invited Prince Louis to seize the throne from King John in 1215. The Green itself is located just in front of the 1-4 The Close properties in the cathedral close, which, at 44-acres is one of the biggest in the country. The Green is located south-west of Ethelbert Gate and is surrounded by stately 18th-century properties. To the west of the Green (probably immediately west) is the probable location of Roger Bigod's palatium at the south end of Tombland, perhaps representing the earlier palace of the Saxon earls. The Green is thought to have been established during the mid-19th century: it is not shown on Millard and Manning's map of 1830, but was essentially as it is today (including the gates and railings at the north end) by the time of the Ordnance Survey map of 1882. A resistivity survey in the 1970s identified high resistance anomalies that may represent a building, which possibly could be the church of St Ethelbert. The long undisturbed open area of Almary Green suggests a high potential for early (Late Saxon or monastic period) subsurface archaeology. References
The Dukeries Academy

The Dukeries Academy (formerly The Dukeries Comprehensive School and then The Dukeries College and Complex) is a secondary school and community college situated in Ollerton, Nottinghamshire. History It opened in September 1964, with Kirkby in Ashfield Comprehensive School, the first Nottinghamshire county comprehensive schools; Fairham Comprehensive School in Nottingham had preceded these schools. The school was dedicated to 'community provision' at a time when the village and neighbouring Edwinstowe and Bilsthorpe, who attended the school, were thriving mining communities. The school/college/academy had its 50th anniversary in 2014. It had a residential training centre, the Ollerton Educational Institute. It had a purpose-built theatre. There were 1290 children. The first headmaster was Mr John Ireland West, who was born in Kirkby-in-Ashfield, and lived in Upton, Newark and Sherwood. He had two sons. Extensions were constructed from 1967, to increase to the school to a ten-form entry, and to add a sixth form of 90, which would cost £153,563. A Sub-Aqua Group was formed in January 1967. In April 1969 it acquired a residential field studies centre in North Wales at Trawsfynydd, which was provided by Rexco smokeless fuels. This was opened on 4 July 1970 by Richard Marsh, Baron Marsh, former Minister of Transport. The new sixth form opened in February 1970. By 1971, there were 1800 at the school. There were too many children at the school in the early 1970s. In 1975 an arsonist set fire to the gym, needing 18 firemen. In June 1975, the headteacher was awarded the CBE in the 1975 Birthday Honours. Two squash courts opened in April 1976. In 2009, The Dukeries was included in controversial plans to cut funding. Nottinghamshire County Council proposed to cut £380,000 of the schools budget to save money. There was a campaign to stop these cuts from happening. The attached Leisure Centre (owned by NSDC) received an extension to include a new swimming pool in 2020, and the structure was built and completed in 2021. The pool was officially opened by Olympic gold medalist Rebecca Adlington. Curriculum It offers education for students aged 11–19. ATTFE College, the school's sixth form, also offer a range of level 2 and 3 courses, including GCSEs and BTECs. Visits The Princess Royal opened a whitewater centre on the afternoon of Tuesday 17 May 1988. The Earl of Wessex visited the Enviro Centre on Thursday 1 July 2004. The Dukeries was visited by Ed Balls, Sebastian Coe, and Gordon Brown. Balls described it as "a school of the 21st century". The school received a "satisfactory" grade after an OFSTED inspection. The school became an academy on 1 January 2013, and was renamed The Dukeries Academy. The Dukeries offers a theatre, horse riding, on-site counselling, a construction block (opened in 2008), an astro-turf pitch, a youth club and a fire service training centre.

Barnes Healing Church

Barnes Healing Church is a Christian Spiritualist church on White Hart Lane in Barnes in Richmond upon Thames, London. It holds services on Sunday evenings with a guest medium and also a Wednesday evening session of clairvoyance. History Josiah Mee, a student at the Wesleyan College on Richmond Hill, collected the money to buy, in 1867, the land on which the church is built; it was open for worship in April 1868, when he sold it to Rev. William Fiddian Moulton and eleven others. In 1906 the President of the Methodist Church authorised the sale of the church. It was bought by members of the congregation and renamed the Barnes Primitive Methodist Church. In 1949 the church formally re-entered the Methodist Church Union. Later, the church was again declared to be no longer required for Methodist Trust purposes and it was subsequently purchased by Sidney Ernest Wiles in December 1966. For the next 28 years Wiles ran "Barnes Healing Church" as a Christian Spiritualist Church. It closed when he died in 1994, aged 96. For the next nine years the church remained closed but was renovated from the proceeds of Wiles' estate. In 2003 a limited company was set up to manage the church and it reopened in April 2003. It is run entirely by volunteers. Notes and references External links Official website
