Château de Walton

Le château de Walton est un monument historique classé de grade II datant du XVIIe siècle et situé sur une colline, dans la ville de Clevedon, dans le North Somerset. Il se trouve sur le site d'un ancien fort remontant à l'âge du fer. Histoire Le livre du Jugement Dernier décrit le site comme appartenant à "Gunni Le Danois". Cependant, le bâtiment existant sur ce site fut construit entre 1615 et 1620 par John Poulett, Ier baron de la dynastie du même nom. Le château fut conçu tel un pavillon de chasse destiné à Lord Poulett, alors député du Somerset. Pendant la Première Révolution anglaise, la famille Poulett perdit peu à peu ses richesses et, en 1791, le château fut abandonné. Un agriculteur local l'utilisa alors comme laiterie. Au début du XIXe siècle, le domaine incluant le château de Walton, situé dans le village de Walton in Gordano, fut acheté par Philip John Miles, qui possédait également des propriétés et de vastes domaines ailleurs, comme par exemple: Kings Weston House (en), Leigh Court (en) et Cardigan Priory and Underdown, ce dernier étant situé à Ledbury, dans le comté de Herefordshire d'où était originaire sa famille. Le château fut transmis par héritage à la famille Miles jusqu'en 1975, lorsque Sir William Miles, alors VIe baronnet, fit don des ruines au public s'il était possible de trouver de l'argent permettant de les conserver. La somme nécessaire estimée allait de 6 000 livres à 46 000 livres et le plan échoua, tout comme celui prévu pour instituer un fidéicommis. Restauration En 1979, la fille de Sir William Miles et Martin Sessions-Hodge, le gendre de ce dernier, dépensèrent 100 000 livres pour restaurer le château en ruines et ils s'y installèrent. Ils passèrent plus d'une année à le transformer en une maison de cinq chambres et de trois salles de bain mais, en 1984, ils vendirent car les charges et le manque de réalisme que les travaux d'un tel bâtiment impliquaient, étaient gênants pour un jeune couple avec trois enfants. En 1984, le château fut acheté par Margarita Hamilton qui elle aussi continua à procéder à des modifications, bien qu'il fallût rétablir certaines d'entre elles en raison de problèmes liés au déplacement non autorisé de créneaux appartenant à un monument classé. À la fin des années 1990, Margarita Hamilton organisait régulièrement des événements de bienfaisance mais elle vendit lorsqu'elle fut confrontée aux plaintes des voisins. Aujourd'hui, elle loue le château lorsqu'il s'agit de trouver un cadre fabuleux pour les fêtes de mariage. En 2009, le comédien Bill Bailey était invité d'honneur lors d'un événement destiné à collecter des fonds pour l'association Teenage Cancer Trust (en).

Savoy Chapel

Die Savoy Chapel (eigentlich The Queen’s Chapel of the Savoy) ist eine Kapelle in London. Die als Kulturdenkmal der Kategorie Grade II* klassifizierte Kapelle befindet sich am östlichen Rand der City of Westminster am Savoy Hill an der Straße The Strand. Geschichte Die Kapelle wurde im späten Mittelalter als Teil des Hospital of St John-the-Baptist erbaut, das König Heinrich VII. als Armenhaus auf dem Gelände des ehemaligen Savoy Palace gegründet hatte. Die Kapelle wurde 1512 vollendet und war Johannes dem Täufer geweiht. Nach der Auflösung des Hospitals 1702 verfiel die Kapelle. Im 18. Jahrhundert kam es wegen des Besitzes des verfallenen Anwesens zu einem langen Streit, in dem die Kapelle schließlich 1772 an das Duchy of Lancaster fiel. Um 1830 wurden die Südwand, die Fenster und der Glockenturm von Robert Smirke restauriert. Nachdem die Kapelle bei einem Brand 1864 bis auf die Außenmauern zerstört worden war, wurde sie wiederaufgebaut. Die Kapelle dient seit Ende 1937 als Ordenskapelle des Royal Victorian Order, der Kaplan der Kapelle ist gleichzeitig Ordenskaplan. Während des Blitz wurde die Kapelle 1940 beschädigt und nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg von 1957 bis 1958 durch Arthur Knapp-Fisher erneut restauriert. Die Kapelle gehört bis heute dem Duchy of Lancaster und ist als Privatkapelle der britischen Monarchen (royal peculiar) keiner englischen Diözese unterstellt. Baubeschreibung Die aus Bruchstein erbaute Kapelle ist im Perpendicular Style errichtet. Sie besteht aus einem rechteckigen Saalbau mit einem kleinen Glockenturm im Westen und besitzt auf den beiden Längsseiten vier dreibahnige Maßwerkfenster sowie ein fünfbahniges Chorfenster im Osten. Sie besitzt noch Grabdenkmäler aus dem 16. Jahrhundert sowie farbige Buntglasfenster. Die hölzerne Wandtäfelung wurde von 1938 bis 1939 angebracht, nachdem die Kapelle zur Ordenskapelle erhoben wurde. Die reich bemalte hölzerne Decke im Neo-Tudorstil wurde 1999 restauriert, zum diamantenen Kronjubiläum von Elizabeth II. erhielt ein Fenster der Westseite neue Buntglasfenster. 2013 wurde der Fußboden erneuert.

Lad in the Lane

The Lad in the Lane is a pub in the Bromford area of Erdington in Birmingham, England. Dating to the year 1400, it is considered to be the oldest house and pub in the city, although The Old Crown in Digbeth claims to date from 1368, a date which is yet to be confirmed. Prior to the dating of the building, New Shipton Barn in Walmley was considered to be the oldest building in Birmingham, dating to around 1425. To find the construction date of the building, scientists used a technique called dendrochronology to analyse the timbers in the oldest known part of the building. The results showed that it was constructed in the spring at the end of the 14th century. When constructed in 1400, it was used as a home for a family of high status. It is believed to have remained as a house until the early 1780s, when it was converted into a pub by the owners who were established in 1306. Throughout its lifetime as a pub, it has also been known as The Green Man and the Old Green Man. It was used by foresters who worked for the Earl of Warwick. In the 1930s, the pub was extended and altered. In 1912/13 the register of electors will show that the famous England, Aston Villa, WBA, Leicester Fosse and Lincoln City footballer Billy Garraty was the landlord. On 25 April 1952 the building received listed status. This was altered on 8 July 1982 so that it became a Grade II listed building.

Lady's Bridge

Lady's Bridge is the oldest bridge across the River Don in the City of Sheffield, England. It is located in the central section of the city, linking the Wicker to the north with Waingate to the south. History The first bridge The original wooden bridge at this point was constructed close to Sheffield Castle sometime after 1150 under the orders of William de Lovetot, the Norman baron who had also built the castle along with the town's first church, hospital (at Spital Hill), and corn mill (at Millsands). Lady's Bridge In 1485 the Vicar of Sheffield, Sir John Plesaunce, and William Hill, who was a master mason, both agreed to build a bridge of stone "over the watyr of Dune neghe the castell of Sheffeld" at a cost of about £67. The bridge had five arches, and was 14.5 feet (4.4 m) wide. A small chapel, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was built close to the bridge, and the bridge became known as 'Our Lady's Bridge'. When built it could only be crossed by pedestrians as there were steps at either end of the bridge. The chapel was converted for use as a wool warehouse in 1547, to prevent its demolition as part of the Dissolution of the Monasteries during the reign of Henry VIII, and was subsequently used as an Alms house. Modifications In 1760 the bridge was widened on the upstream side, and the Alms House (formerly the chapel to Our Lady) was demolished to make way for the new structure. The bridge was widened on the downstream side in 1864, virtually obscuring the remaining original structure from view, and again in 1909, to allow trams to cross the bridge. It was restored in the late 20th century, and has been a Grade II listed structure since 1973. The Great Sheffield Flood On the night of 11 March 1864 Lady's Bridge narrowly avoided destruction when the waters of the Great Sheffield Flood poured over it. Nearly every other bridge upstream in the path of the flood had been smashed by the waters and the debris that they carried. A contemporary account described the scene: When the flood was at its height the scene on the Lady's Bridge at the top of the Wicker was most extraordinary. The water came rushing down between the buildings on each side with a force that made the Lady's Bridge quake and tremble. Against the bridge were piled up trees, logs of timber, broken furniture, and debris of every description. The light from street gas lamps revealed to spectators, of whom they were a good many, some of the horrors of the scene. The arches of the bridge were nearly choked by the accumulation of rubbish, and the impeded waters rose to a fearful height, breaking over the parapets of the bridge, and rushing across Mr. White's slate yard over the broad thoroughfare of the Wicker. 2007 flooding During the 2007 United Kingdom floods, Sheffield was badly hit, and Lady's Bridge and the Wicker in particular. Lady's Bridge was overwhelmed with water as it, the Wicker and the Blonk Street Bridge were flooded, and Lady's Bridge itself was at one point reported to be in danger of collapse.

Lady Hawkins' School

Lady Hawkins' School is a 11-16 secondary school in Kington, Herefordshire. The headteacher is Allen Brace. The school is now housed in modern buildings erected in 1962 and 1973, with other buildings erected more recently, almost all of which have been refurbished between 1990 and 1995 to meet the challenges and demands of recent curriculum developments. The original 1600s building is now in use as a private residence. History The school was founded on 29 September 1632 with funding from the estate of Lady Margaret Hawkins, widow of Sir John Hawkins, a slaver. She came from a Herefordfordshire family, being the daughter of Charles Vaughan. She was married to Hawkins for a few years in the 1590s before he died in the Caribbean. Lady Hawkins died in 1619, leaving £800 'for the purchasing of lands or tenements of a yearly value of forty pounds for and towards the perpetual maintenance of a learned and choice preaching divine, the Master, to keep a free school in Kington, in the County of Herefordshire, and of a learned and discreet Usher under him, for the instructing and teaching of youths and children in literature and good education.' Captain Anthony Lewis, servant to Lady Hawkins and acting executor of the will, purchased School Farm, Upper Hergest, in 1622 to produce the necessary forty pounds a year for running the school. He paid £26 13s 4d for a piece of ground in Kington on which the school would be built. Lewis contracted John Abel of Sarnesfield to build it. John Abel, who was Carpenter to King Charles I, was to provide the materials and was paid £240 for his work. The sixth form was one of the smallest in Herefordshire and was threatened with closure in 2006; however, it remained open until 2019 when it finally closed. The school has a tradition on visiting the nearby parish church, St. Mary's, to give thanks for its foundation and all those who have served in it over three and a half centuries. School library Among the possessions of the school are books deposited at Hereford Cathedral Library, including a volume of theological commentary printed by Shakespeare´s associate Richard Field (1561–1624). This volume contains a letter which appears to be addressed to Anne Hathaway. The letter formed part of the binding for two works by Johann Piscator which were bound together. The school has also deposited documents at Herefordshire Archive and Records Centre. Notable former pupils Leslie Law, Former British Olympic eventer. Ellie Goulding, Music artist.

Lady Herbert's Garden

Lady Herbert's Garden is a garden in Coventry city centre, named as a memorial to Alfred Herbert's second wife Florence. Construction and initial laying out began in 1930 and the last section was completed in 1939. It is built around several sections of the remains of Coventry city walls, including Swanswell and Cook Street Gates, and bordered by Chantry Place. The site was the former Chantry Orchard. Between 1816 and 1930, the area had become a slum, before being cleared to create the gardens. History The gardens were designed by Albert Herbert, cousin of the industrialist and commissioner of them Alfred Herbert. The east garden was opened to the public on 12 April 1931 and a west garden was added from 1935 to 1938. From 1930 to 1947 the gardens were overseen by Miss Denision, who was succeeded by Miss Hoffa who left in 1956. Following Herbert's death in 1957 the trustees faced financial difficulties and in 1974, ownership was transferred to Coventry City Council. Lady Herbert's homes Commonly known as Lady Herbert's homes, these two blocks of almshouses were built in 1935 and 1937. They were both damaged during the Coventry Blitz and were rebuilt. The homes are currently managed by a charitable trust. References
Lady Lumley's School

Lady Lumley's School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in Pickering, North Yorkshire, England. It was founded in Thornton-le-Dale in 1670. It was endowed by deed of Frances, Viscountess Lumley, an ancestor of the Earl of Scarborough, in 1657, and the buildings completed in about 1680. It has school links worldwide, particularly within Tanzania, Morocco, China and France. The school has been awarded Sportsmark 2008, an iNET qualification, Specialist Schools and Academies Trust, a British Schools Orienteering award and was classified as a Healthy School. In 2019, the Ofsted Inspection Report rated Lady Lumley's school as inadequate. School history The current co-educational school was originally two single-sex grammar schools, one in Thornton-le-Dale and one on Middleton Road in Pickering, both called Lady Lumley's Grammar School. They were amalgamated in 1904/05, on the Pickering site. In 1864, the school at Thornton had 26 pupils, all boys. During the Second World War, pupils from Middlesbrough High School for Girls were evacuated to Pickering, and shared the school with the Lady Lumley's pupils. In the 1940s, pupils carried out an archaeological excavation of the nearby mediaeval hospital of St Nicholas. In the first half of the twentieth century, the then headmaster of the school, F Austin Hyde, was an expert on the dialect of the area. Previously a community school administered by North Yorkshire County Council, in May 2021 Lady Lumley's School converted to academy status. It is now sponsored by the Coast and Vale Learning Trust. In 2025, the Coast and Vale Learning Trust merged into the Delta Academies Trust, bringing Lady Lumley's under the Delta banner.
