Church of All Saints, Rodden

The Anglican Church of All Saints in Rodden, Somerset, England, was built in 1640. It is a Grade II* listed building. History The church was built in 1640, on the site of an earlier medieval church. Although it served only a small community, the church was built on the orders of Archbishop William Laud. He was an autocratic clergyman and sought to reduce the influence of Puritans, after which Laudianism is named. The church was dedicated to St Blaize, and served as a chapelry of Boyton, some 11 miles (18 km) to the south-east in Wiltshire, both Rodden and Boyton being estates of the Giffard family in the 13th century. The date this arrangement ended, and Rodden became a separate parish, is unclear. It is described as a chapelry in a correction note to the 1811 Census but the 1831 Census Abstract states the separation occurred in 1784. John Collinson, published in 1791, has Rodden as a chapelry of Boyton. Another source gives the creation date of Rodden ecclesiastical parish as 1802. The church was rebuilt in a Victorian restoration in the mid-19th century. The benefice was united with that of Berkley in 1964. Today the parish is part of the benefice of Beckington with Standerwick, Berkley, Lullington, Orchardleigh and Rodden, which was created in 1978, within the Diocese of Bath and Wells. Architecture The stone building has a three-bay nave and one-bay chancel with tile roofs. The west tower is supported by diagonal buttresses. The majority of the interior dates from its restoration in the 19th century, but it retains its 18th-century pulpit. Present day The church, in spite of its isolated location, continues to have services once or twice a month.

Hydraulic engine house, Bristol Harbour

The Hydraulic engine house is part of the "Underfall Yard" in Bristol Harbour in Bristol, England. The octagonal brick and terracotta chimney of the engine house dates from 1888, and is Grade II* listed, as is the hydraulic engine house itself. It replaced the original pumping house which is now The Pump House public house. It is built of red brick with a slate roof and originally contained two steam engines made by the Worthington Corporation. These were compound surface condensing cylinders of 17.5 inches (440 mm) diameter. These were replaced in 1907 by the current machines from Fullerton, Hodgart and Barclay of Paisley. It powered the docks' hydraulic system of cranes, bridges and locks until 2010. Water is pumped from the harbour to a header tank and then fed by gravity to the high pressure pumps, where it is pressurised thence raising the external hydraulic accumulator. This stores the hydraulic energy ensuring a smooth delivery of pressure and meaning that the pumps do not need to be running the whole time nor be capable of supplying the instantaneous peak demands. The working pressure is 750 lbs/square inch. The external accumulator was added about 1954 when the original inside the building's tower became difficult to service (but it remains in place). The building originally contained a pair of steam powered pumps however these were replaced with three electrically driven ones in 1907. The engine house provided the power for equipment such as the lock gates and cranes until 2010. The visitor centre in the hydraulic power house opened in time for Easter 2016.
