Christ Church with St Ewen, Bristol

Christ Church with St Ewen (grid reference ST588730) is a Church of England parish church in Broad Street, Bristol, England. Christ Church was built between 1786 and 1791. The tower appears to have been designed by Thomas Paty who was architect to the vestry, and the body of the church by his son William, and built by Thomas Paty and Sons, replacing a medieval one. The entrance and refurbished interior are by Henry Williams in 1883. The building was restored by Priest-in-charge Rev. G. S. Zimmern in 1973. On the tower quarter-boy figures strike the quarter hours on the automaton clock. It has been designated as a Grade II* listed building. St Ewen's Church St Ewen's church was on the north west corner of the medieval cross-roads, opposite Christ Church on Broad Street. A charter of Archbishop Theobald of Canterbury, confirming a vicar called Turstin at the church and threatening that anyone who interfered with the post would be “firmly bound up in the chains of anathema”, is known as the Charter of Theobald or the Curse of St Ewen. It dates to about 1141 and is the oldest document held by Bristol Archives. The church was founded in the early 1100s. In 1639, Matthew Hazzard, was appointed vicar of St Ewen's, Bristol. His wife Dorothy Hazzard would allow pregnant women to reside at the parsonage (when they should have been at church) and they also gave homes to families en route to America. The parish was joined with that of Christ Church in 1790. The church was demolished in 1820 to make space for the enlargement of the old Council House, now Bristol Register Office. Building The current Baroque style building, of Bath stone, was designed by William Paty and built between 1786 and 1791. A Victorian restoration was carried out in 1883 by Henry Williams. Worship Worship at Christ Church follows the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and the parish supports the work of the Prayer Book Society in promoting the use of traditional liturgy throughout the Church of England. Scripture readings are taken from the Authorised Version of the Bible. The Parochial Church Council has passed Resolutions A, B and C and does not accept the ministry of women priests. It receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Oswestry (currently Paul Thomas).

Christchurch Hospital, Dorset

Christchurch Hospital is run by the University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust. It is located in Fairmile in Christchurch, Dorset, England. The hospital was managed by The Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust until the merger with Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust on 1 October 2020. History The hospital has its origins in a workhouse infirmary built in 1882. New infirmary blocks were built at the north end of the site in 1913 and were used by the Red Cross during the First World War. The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948 and, after the Royal Bournemouth Hospital opened in 1989, the site was rationalised and part of the site was sold for housing in 1995. It has subsequently developed as a centre for rehabilitation. The Secretary of State for Health, Alan Milburn, awarded the hospital's stroke service Beacon status in 2000. Various acute services were transferred from Christchurch Hospital to the Royal Bournemouth Hospital in 2010. Services An all-age rehabilitation service is available, though most patients are elderly. To support rehabilitation there are physiotherapy and occupational therapy facilities. There is a day hospital, a dermatology resource unit, rheumatology, and a Macmillan unit (palliative care).

Christchurch Priory

Die der hl. Dreifaltigkeit (Holy Trinity) geweihte Christchurch Priory ist eine ehemalige Prioratskirche in der heute etwa 30.000 Einwohner zählenden Stadt Christchurch in der Grafschaft Dorset an der Südküste Englands. Die schon seit langem nur noch als Pfarrkirche genutzte Kirche ist als Grade-I-Bauwerk anerkannt und gehört zum Major Churches Network. Lage Die etwa 10 m hoch gelegene Christchurch Priory liegt bei der Einmündung des River Avon in den River Stour unweit des Ärmelkanals. Die Stadt Salisbury mit ihrer berühmten Kathedrale liegt etwa 40 km nördlich. Geschichte Die Existenz einer Kirche an dieser Stelle ist schon für das 7. oder 8. Jahrhundert belegt; um das Jahr 1150 wurde ein Augustinerpriorat gegründet und die Kirche im anglo-normannischen Stil neu errichtet; von dieser Kirche haben sich große Teile (z. B. das Langhaus und das Nordquerhaus) erhalten. Mit dem Aussterben der Stifterfamilie in der Zeit um 1300 kam das Priorat zunächst an das Königshaus, ab dem Jahr 1330 dann an William Montagu, 1. Earl of Salisbury. Um das Jahr 1350 wurde das Langhaus der Kirche neu eingewölbt. Aus dem 15. Jahrhundert stammt der Chor, der die Kirche mit der bereits um 1400 erbauten Marienkapelle (Lady Chapel) verband. Der heutige Glockenturm entstand zwischen 1470 und 1480. Nach der Auflösung der englischen Klöster durch König Heinrich VIII. im Jahr 1539 wurden die noch bestehenden Klostergebäude abgerissen. Architektur Der Grundriss der ca. 91 m langen, dreischiffigen und mit einem Querhaus versehenen Kirche entspricht einem lateinischen Kreuz, der Aufriss des normannischen Langhauses ist dreigeschossig basilikal mit Emporen; der flach schließende spätgotische Chor hingegen hat nur zwei Geschosse. Der ebenfalls spätgotische Glockenturm hat eine Höhe von ca. 37 m. Ausstattung Wesentliche Teile der Ausstattung sind der Lettner und das Chorgestühl mit seinen Miserikordien. Hinzu kommen die sogenannte Salisbury Chantry (Grabstätte von Margaret Pole, Gräfin von Salisbury) und das Shelley Memorial (Kenotaph für den im Jahr 1822 vor der italienischen Küste bei Viareggio ertrunkenen Dichter Percy Bysshe Shelley).

Христианская помощь

Христианская помощь (англ. Christian Aid) — организация, работающая для поддержки устойчивого развития и гражданского общества, борьбы с бедностью и обеспечения ликвидации последствий стихийных бедствий в Южной Америке, странах Карибского бассейна, Ближнего Востока, Африки и Азии. Христианская помощь действует уже более 65 лет. Христианская помощь заявляет, что работает в любом месте, где ощущается наибольшая потребность, независимо от религии, национальной или расовой принадлежности. Организация имеет 570 местных организаций-партнеров в 45 странах по всему миру. Штаб-квартира Christian Aid находятся в Лондоне и имеет региональные подразделения по всей Великобритании и Ирландии. Директором Христианской помощи является Лоретта Мингелла, назначенная в 2010 году. Критика Канадский политический философ Питер Халлвард в своей книге Damming the Flood обвинил Христианскую помощь в поддержке США при насильственной смене режима в Гаити в 2004 году. Английский экономист Пол Коллиер в своей книге The Bottom Billion предполагает, что Христианская помощь глубоко дезинформировала британский электорат в 2004 и 2005 годах со своей кампанией против снижение торговых барьеров в Африке, сделав исследование, проведенное «группой научных экспертов», которыми на самом деле были два господина, не известные своим опытом в международной торговле. Он указывает, что данное исследование было глубоким заблуждением. Некоторые из ведущих благотворительных организаций иностранной помощи в Великобритании критикуют Христианскую помощь за чрезмерные зарплаты для её руководителей.

Kirkham House

Kirkham House ist ein mittelalterliches Stadthaus in der Ortschaft Paignton in der Grafschaft Devon im Vereinigten Königreich. Es ist nicht bekannt, wann genau Kirkham House gebaut wurde, Ausführung und Aufteilung lassen jedoch darauf schließen, dass es aus dem 14. oder 15. Jahrhundert stammt. Es wurde früher als „The Priest's House“ bezeichnet, was auf eine Verbindung zur Kirche schließen lässt; es könnte aber auch die Residenz eines wohlhabenden lokalen Kaufmannes gewesen sein. Im Erdgeschoss des Hauses befinden sich ein aufwändig ausgeführtes Wohnzimmer sowie eine bis unters Dach offene „Halle“, in der sich Gäste aufhalten konnten. Früher hatten beide Räume steinerne Waschtische, ein seltener Luxus in mittelalterlichen Häusern. Im Obergeschoss führt eine Galerie zu drei weiteren Wohn- und Schlafräumen. Die Küche war in einem Nebengebäude untergebracht, von dem aber nur noch wenige Mauerreste existieren. Außerdem gibt es neben dem Haus einen kleinen Garten. Der spätmittelalterliche Bau wurde dem English Heritage von Ada Frances Jennings hinterlassen, zusammen mit einem Geldbetrag für die Restaurierung. Stein- und Stuckarbeiten wurden umfassend erneuert, dabei aber viele Teile des ursprünglichen Eichengebälks und der alten Schnitzereien erhalten. Die Arbeiten waren 1960 abgeschlossen. Das Gebäude steht Besuchern offen; gezeigt werden Reproduktion von Möbeln und Wandteppichen im mittelalterlichen Stil. Weblinks Seite des English Heritage (englisch)
Kirkham House

Kirkham House is a late medieval stone house in Paignton, Devon, England. It is believed to be a 14th- or 15th-century building. The house was designated a Grade II* listed building on 13 March 1951. History There is no documentary evidence of who built Kirkham House or when. The design suggests that it is of 14th- or 15th-century origin, and it has been called "The Priest's House", suggesting the residence of a church official, or a priest of the Kirkham Chantry. The house may have been built as the residence of a prosperous local merchant. Mrs Ada Frances Jennings bequeathed the house to the nation in 1960, together with a sum of money for its repair. The stone and plasterwork have been extensively renovated, but many of the original oak beams and carvings can still be seen. The building contains reproduction furniture and tapestries in the medieval style. Structure The building is a single-depth cottage with three rooms, and is made of breccia with a slate roof. The ground floor of the house consists of a parlour and a large vaulted hall that would have been used for entertaining guests, while the first floor has a gallery and three bedchambers. The kitchen was an outbuilding that exists today only as a few ruined walls, and there is a small garden adjacent to the house. It also includes a cast-iron pump outside the kitchen area. Visiting Kirkham House is managed by English Heritage, and it is open to the public at certain times of year. The building is located off Cecil Road at Ordnance Survey map reference SX885610.

Christopher Whitehead Language College

Christopher Whitehead Language College and Sixth Form is a secondary school in Worcester, Worcestershire, England. It is a co-educational school, in which there are about 1500 students enrolled, aged between 11 and 19. The school holds Specialist Language College status, and became an academy in 2011. In 2015 they opened a new sixth form centre with the first intake arriving in September 2015. History The school was opened in 1983 following the merger of two schools and it draws its pupils mainly from the St John's area of Worcester and the surrounding west side of Worcester City. The school gained specialist language college status in September 2005. Geography teacher Christopher Elliott was found guilty on 3 June 2011 of "unprofessional conduct" at Christopher Whitehead Language College in Worcester where he worked for nine years for "mocking disabled children and throwing chairs at students". On one occasion, it is said he "mocked one child who suffered from a condition that left him shorter than his fellow pupils" by kneeling on the floor next to the student and saying: "'Is this what it is like being you?'". Grounds and Facilities The school occupies a large site on the west bank of the River Severn with views of the Malvern Hills and of Worcester City and its cathedral. The school was formed in 1983 by the amalgamation of two schools, Christopher Whitehead Boys School and Christopher Whitehead Girls School. The Boys School was formerly housed in the older 1950s buildings and the Girls Schools in the newer 1960s and 1970s buildings. As such, its buildings vary in age and architecture. The 1950s School building originally housed both the Boys and Girls school, separate entrances were used. It has been substantially modernised and re-equipped since its formation. An extension opened in 2017, with 29 new classrooms built, as a result of a government funded build. This allowed for an increase in the intake number of year 7 students in addition to the 220 Sixth Form students. Houses In September 2007, the school was divided into six houses. Each pupil wears a coloured tie or pin badge of their corresponding house. Students now share their forms with approximately five pupils from each year at the school in the same house. The houses are: Brunel, Da Vinci, Shakespeare, Curie, Pankhurst and Seacole.

New Hospital for Women

Le New Hospital for Women était un hôpital situé à Bloomsbury (Londres) au Royaume-Uni. Historique Le New Hospital for Women émane du dispensaire St Mary dans les années 1870. Il fut fondé afin que les femmes pauvres aient accès aux soins médicaux prodigués par des femmes praticiennes qualifiées, ce qui à l'époque était tout à fait inhabituel. En 1866, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson travaillait comme General Medical Attendant au dispensaire St Mary, où elle a œuvré plus de vingt ans. Le New Hospital fut renommé Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital en 1918 puis, après fusion avec l'Obstetric Hospital en 2001, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Obstetric Hospital. Constance Stone, la première femme à exercer la médecine en Australie, y exerça quelques années. Il a fermé en novembre 2008 en tant que tel, et est devenu un service du University College Hospital, installé dans une aile de cet hôpital qui porte toujours le nom d'Elizabeth Garrett Anderson.

Christow railway station

Christow railway station, previously known as Teign House, served the villages of Christow, Bridford and Doddiscombsleigh in Devon, England. It was a stop on the Teign Valley line between Newton Abbot and Exeter St Thomas. The station was located in the parish of Doddiscombsleigh, as the parish boundary is the River Teign. History Until 1943, Christow was the only passing place on the Teign Valley Line. The red brick station building was on the up platform. The down platform had a waiting shelter and a raised timber built signal box at the far end of the platform. Originally, Christow was the terminus of the line from Heathfield and was called Teign House at that time. An extension, known as Teign House Siding, existed for loading stone. The down loop was extended northwards by 370 yards (340 m) in 1943, as part of the upgrading of the route for trains diverted from the South Devon Main Line. Passenger numbers reached their peak in the 1930s, with seven daily services provided each way between Exeter and Heathfield. During World War 2, this was reduced to four trains in each direction, with no trains on a Sunday. This was increased to five daily trains after the war. The line was sometimes used as a diversionary route if the South Devon main line was unavailable. Two sidings were added behind the down platform in 1914, for Scatter Rock Quarry traffic, and a 3⁄4 mile (1.2 km) siding curved sharply away to the Bridford Quarry of the Devon Basalt and Granite Company; this was in use between 1910 and 1931. The Bridford Barytes Mine also used the railway at Christow, for conveying barium sulphate to Exeter for milling; this traffic ceased in July 1958. In the winter of 1960 and March 1961, severe flooding of the river Teign washed away the track bed just beyond Trusham and this was never reinstated, thereby isolating Ashton and Christow stations completely. These stations were officially closed as of 1 May 1961 and the tracks lifted in the summer of 1963. The site today The station building is now a private house and the trackbed has been infilled to platform height. The sidings are now home to the Exeter and Teign Valley Railway. They have a Toad brake van that has been converted into sleeping accommodation. The Teign Valley line may have a role to play in the future, as an alternative to the Devon's main line route along the Dawlish and Teignmouth coastline which is vulnerable to stormy seas. The Council for the Protection of Rural England (CPRE) put together a feasibility study. Some of the old infrastructure is still in place; 6 miles (9.7 km) of the 21 miles (34 km) of track remained in 2009. References Citations Sources Beck, Keith; Copsey, John (1990).

Church End Mill, Great Dunmow

Church End Mill is a grade II listed Tower mill at Great Dunmow, Essex, England which has been converted to residential use. History Church End Mill was built by William Redington, a miller from Harlow in 1822 for John Fuller. It incorporated a badly implemented second-hand machinery from a smock mill from an unknown location and the total cost of the mill was £564 10s 6d. In 1840, a new cast iron windshaft and Patent sails were fitted, but the windshaft snapped during a gale on 13 November, less than three months after it had been fitted. The sails landed on the outbuildings connected with the mill. The mill remained in the ownership of John Fuller until his death in 1887. The mill did little trade after 1894, and ceased work c1902, the sails being removed then. By 1907 it was being used as a studio and during World War II was used as an observation post, the cap having been removed by then. A new cap was fitted in 1974 by millwright Philip Barrett-Lennard. The mill has been house converted, with no machinery remaining inside. Description Church End Mill is a four-storey tower mill with a conical cap with a ball finial. The mill had four single Patent sails carried on a cast-iron windshaft and was winded by a six-bladed fantail. The tower is 40 feet (12.19 m) high to curb level, 20 feet (6.10 m) diameter at base level and 10 feet (3.05 m) diameter at the curb. The brickwork is 2 feet 3 inches (690 mm) thick at base level. There was a stage at first-floor level. Two pairs of French Burr millstones were driven by wind, with a third pair by steam engine towards the end of the mill’s working life. As originally built, the mill had an oak windshaft, 23 inches (580 mm) square at the poll end and 14 feet 6 inches (4.42 m) long carrying four Common sails with cloths 30 feet (9.14 m) long by 4 feet 6 inches (1.37 m) wide. The windshaft carried an elm brake wheel 9 feet (2.74 m) diameter with 80 cogs, which drove an elm wallower 4 feet 8 inches (1.42 m) diameter with 46 cogs, carried on an oak upright shaft 21 feet 6 inches (6.55 m) long and 15 inches (380 mm) square. The clasp arm elm great spur wheel was 8 feet (2.44 m) diameter, with 105 cogs. It drove two elm stone nuts of 28 inches (710 mm) diameter, each having 28 cogs.

The Village Church Farm

The Village Church Farm, formerly known as Church Farm Museum, is an open-air museum of local and agricultural history near Skegness, Lincolnshire, England. There are a number of traditional indigenous buildings, including a thatched "mud and stud" cottage, moved from the nearby village of Withern, the original 18th-century farmhouse, and a 19th-century stable block and cowshed. The museum holds exhibitions of 19th- and 20th-century farm implements and machinery, and displays about traditional breeds such as the Red Poll cattle, and the Longwool Sheep, although there are no animals on site. In 2009 the farm won the People's Choice Award at the Lincolnshire Renaissance Heritage Awards. Following cuts by Lincolnshire County Council, and a fire of the mud and stud cottage, it has been run by a charity and has received help from volunteers.
