More London

More London, part of an area known as London Bridge City, is a development on the south bank of the River Thames, immediately south-west of Tower Bridge in London. It is owned by the Kuwaiti sovereign wealth fund. It includes the former City Hall, a sunken amphitheatre called The Scoop, office blocks, shops, restaurants, cafes, and a pedestrianized area containing open-air sculptures and fountains lit by coloured lights. The Hilton London Tower Bridge hotel opened in September 2006. More London is 13 acres (53,000 m2) in size and has planning consent for 3,000,000 square feet (280,000 m2) of mixed use space, of which up to two million square feet will be offices, accommodating up to 20,000 people. The buildings were designed by Foster and Partners architects. The buildings are known as 1 & 6 More London Place, and 2, 3, 4 and 7 More London Riverside. The public area, which includes The Scoop, a fountain and planting areas, was designed by Townshend Landscape Architects. There are frequently outdoor exhibitions and cultural events in More London. For most of 2005 there was a popular open-air exhibition of large environmental photographs called Earth from the Air. In 2007, the development was shortlisted for the Carbuncle Cup architecture prize, an annual competition by Building Design for "the ugliest building in the United Kingdom completed in the last 12 months." "The Rill", a brick water channel that ran along one walkway of the area, was filled in during 2018.

Moreton Hall, Warwickshire

Moreton Hall is a Grade II listed, Georgian styled Edwardian house, built in the early 1900s and located in Moreton Morrell, Warwickshire, England. It is the location of Moreton Morrel Centre, the agricultural campus of Warwickshire College. History In the early 1900s, Charles Tuller Garland, son of the co-founder of the New York based National City Bank, decided to build a house in South Warwickshire countryside, with views over the River Avon valley. Designed by the fashionable society architect and decorator W. H. Romaine-Walker, it was inspired by Wilton House near Salisbury, and given a Palladian style. Built in 1906/7, designed for lavish entertaining, the Hall has sumptuous plasterwork, particularly in the barrel-vaulted great hall, library and dining room. Romaine-Walker also landscaped the grounds, with a Wellingtonia-lined drive leading to the hall, its manicured blue garden, polo school and other equestrian facilities. In 1913 Moreton Hall and the associated Morton Farm were purchased by Gilbert Player. The hall was gutted by a major fire on 20 March 2008. Moreton Morrell Centre After the Second World War, the grounds of Moreton Morrell were used to accommodate a farm-training institute by the Warwickshire Agricultural Committee, later absorbed as part of Warwickshire College as its Moreton Morrell Centre, which is one of the country's premier centres for agricultural, horticultural and equine training. The campus includes stabling for more than 100 horses and an equine demonstration area, and there is a 345-hectare farm with a dairy herd, pedigree sheep flock and pedigree beef herd. References
Moreton Jeffries Church

Moreton Jeffries Church is a redundant Anglican church in the hamlet of Moreton Jeffries, some 9 miles (14 km) northeast of Hereford, Herefordshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. History The church was built in the 13th or early 14th century, and was extended to the west at a later date. It was restored in the 18th century. A further restoration was carried out in 1860 by John Morley. It was declared redundant in 1980 and vested in the Churches Conservation Trust in 1984. Architecture Constructed in sandstone, the church has a tiled roof. Its plan is simple, having a nave and chancel under one roof, a south porch, and an embraced bellcote at the west end. The bellcote is timber framed and hung with slates. The external appearance of the church is Gothic Revival in style, although it contains older fabric. The oldest part of the medieval church is the south doorway, and the roof is also probably from the medieval period. In the south wall are two two-light windows. The north wall contains one similar window, and other blocked windows and a doorway. The east window has three lights. The interior of the church is plastered, and the floor is tiled, some of the tiles being encaustic. Many of the furnishings date from the 17th and 18th centuries. These include the chancel screen and the pulpit. The latter is Jacobean in style, and has a sounding board and a reading desk. The seating includes benches from the same period, and one box pew. The font consists of a round freestone bowl with a marble basin, standing on a black marble stem. On the east wall are Commandment boards, and there are boards with the Lord's Prayer and the Apostles' Creed on the west wall. The memorials include a brass plate to John Morley, the restorer of the church, who died in 1899. The church has two bells, one dating from the 16th century, the other cast in 1709.

Brit Királyi Földrajzi Társaság

A Brit Királyi Földrajzi Társaság (Royal Geographical Society) Nagy-Britanniában 1830-ban alakult meg Londoni Földrajzi Társaság néven. Székhelye ma is Londonban van, a Lowther Lodge épületben. Története A társaság 1830-ban alakult meg a modern földrajztudomány megteremtése és fejlesztése céljából. A 19. század első felétől a geográfusok sorra alakították a szakmai eszmecserére alkalmas tudományos társaságokat, és Európa nagyvárosaiban is egymás után jöttek létre földrajzi társaságok. A Londoni Földrajzi Társaság 1830-as megalakulása követte a Párizsban 1821-ben, Berlinben 1828-ban szerveződött társaságok megalakulását. 1854-ben Szentpéterváron, 1851-ben New Yorkban, Magyarországon 1872-ben a Magyar Földrajzi Társulat 250 taggal, Hunfalvy János elnökletével alakult meg. A földrajzi társaságok között a Londoni Földrajzi Társaság rendelkezett a legnagyobb alaptőkével és jövedelemmel és a legmagasabb taglétszámmal. Felhasználva pénzügyi lehetőségeit a 19. században számos felfedező utat támogatott vagy pártolt, többek között Brit Guyanába (Robert Hermann Schomburgk), Afrikába (David Livingstone, Richard Francis Burton, John Hanning Speke, James Augustus Grant, Joseph Thomson) és az Északi-sarkra (John Franklin, George Nares). A társaság aktivitása a 20. században is folytatódott; támogatásukkal számos expedíció indult a Déli-sarkra, a Mount Everestre és trópusi területekre is. Források História Gazdaságföldrajz
Royal Geographical Society

La Royal Geographical Society (in italiano: "Regia Società Geografica" o "Reale Società Geografica") è una società scientifica britannica con sede a Londra. Storia La Royal Geographical Society è stata fondata nel 1830 con il nome di "Geographical Society of London" (in italiano: "Società Geografica di Londra") e con lo scopo di promuovere l'avanzamento della ricerca geografica. Tra i soci fondatori vi furono John Barrow, Sir John Franklin e Francis Beaufort. Sotto il patrocínio di re Guglielmo IV è diventata conosciuta come "The Royal Geographical Society". Nel 1859 ha ottenuto dalla regina Vittoria il Royal Charter. Nel corso degli anni la Royal Geographical Society ha assorbito l'Association for Promoting the Discovery of the Interior Parts of Africa (fondata da Sir Joseph Banks nel 1788), il Raleigh Club e la Palestine Association. Dalla metà del XIX secolo sino alla fine della prima guerra mondiale le esplorazioni finanziate dalla Royal Geographical Society sono state spesso pubblicate sulle prime pagine dei giornali e le opinioni del presidente e dei membri del direttivo erano avidamente contese tra i cronisti. Oggi la società è un importante centro mondiale dello studio della geografia e supporta l'educazione e l'insegnamento agli studenti e la diffusione della conoscenza della geografia tra gli adulti. Attualmente ha sede a Londra al n. 1 di Kensington Gore (SW7 2AR). Scienziati ed esploratori La Royal Geographical Society ha fornito supporto e finanziamenti a diversi scienziati ed esploratori tra cui: Charles Darwin James Kingston Tuckey David Livingstone Robert Falcon Scott Richard Francis Burton John Hanning Speke George Hayward Henry Morton Stanley Ernest Shackleton Edmund Hillary Freya Stark Wilfred Patrick Thesiger Percy Fawcett Bibliografia (EN) Royal Geographical Society Expedition Handbook.

Royal Geographical Society

Het Royal Geographical Society (Koninklijk Geografisch Genootschap) is een Brits wetenschappelijk genootschap. Vooral in de 19e eeuw en begin 20e eeuw ondersteunde en financierde het genootschap een aantal bekende Britse ontdekkingsreizigers en -expedities, zoals Charles Darwin, David Livingstone, Richard Francis Burton, Robert Falcon Scott en Edmund Hillary. Het RGS heeft zo'n 15.000 leden en is gevestigd in Lowther Lodge in Kensington (Londen). Beschermvrouwe is koningin Elizabeth II. Het genootschap omvat een aantal onderzoeksgroepen en geeft subsidies uit aan geografisch onderzoek. Ook worden drie wetenschappelijke tijdschriften uitgeven: Area, The Geographical Journal en Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers. Jaarlijks worden een reeks prijzen en onderscheidingen uitgereikt aan geografen en ontdekkingsreizigers, waaronder erelidmaatschappen en -fellowships. De meest prestigieuze prijzen van het RGS zijn de Founder's Medal 1830 en de Patron's Medal 1838, gezamenlijk de Gold Medals genoemd. Enkele winnaars van Gold Medals waren David Livingstone (1855), Karl Klaus von der Decken (1864), Nain Singh (1876), Ferdinand von Richthofen (1878), William Morris Davis (1919) en Nicholas Shackleton (2005). Het genootschap werd gesticht in 1830 onder de naam Geographical Society of London door onder meer John Franklin en Francis Beaufort. Koningin Victoria verleende het predicaat "koninklijk" aan het genootschap in 1859. De African Association, een Britse club van ontdekkingsreizigers in Afrika, fuseerde met de Royal Geographical Society in 1831. Ook de Raleigh Club, de Palestine Association en (in 1995) het Institute of British Geographers gingen op in het genootschap. De Royal Geographical Society is nu in de eerste plaats een academische instelling. In mei 2009 stemden de leden van het genootschap tegen een motie om terug te keren naar de grootschalige expedities waarmee het Royal Geographical Society bekend is geworden. Iedereen kan lid worden van het RGS. Bij minimaal 5 jaar lidmaatschap kan een benoeming tot fellow volgen, wat de persoon recht geeft op het voeren van de afkorting FRGS (Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society) achter zijn of haar naam. De fellows verkiezen de 22 leden van het bestuur voor een periode van drie jaar. De overige drie leden van het 25-koppige bestuur zijn ereleden, waaronder erevoorzitter Edward van Kent en erevicevoorzitter Michael Palin.
