Nether Poppleton Tithe Barn

The Nether Poppleton Tithe Barn is a tithe barn at Manor Farm in the village of Nether Poppleton in the unitary authority of City of York in the North of England. Research by dendrochronologists has shown that the tithe barn, which was built on the site of an old nunnery, is at least 450 years old. The area surrounding the barn forms part of a scheduled monument and after nearby St Everilda's Church, the tithe barn is the oldest, largest and most important building in both Poppletons. History An old nunnery once occupied the site of the Nether Poppleton Tithe Barn until the dissolution of the monasteries. The Nether Poppleton Tithe Barn was then constructed on the site around 1542. The building is often referred to as "Rupert's Barn" because Prince Rupert of the Rhine is said to have stationed part of his army in the barn before the Battle of Marston Moor in 1644 during the English Civil War. There is also an historical connection with the Restoration of King Charles II because in 1660, Lord Fairfax and two hundred Yorkshire gentlemen gathered at the barn before marching into York for the proclamation of the restored King. The current brickwork was added during the 18th century, and it was used to store hay and potatoes during the 20th century. The Barn was damaged in a fire in 1928 which saw the destruction of two gables at one end and the removal of the wagon entrance. It became a Grade II listed building on 27 August 1987 and The Friends of the Poppleton Tithe Barn (registered charity number 1060767) was then founded in 1997 to preserve and maintain the Tithe Barn for the benefit of the local community and future generations. It was restored in 1999 and completed in the year 2000. The then Duke of York (later Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor) visited the Barn in 1999 whilst it was being restored.

Netherthorpe School

Netherthorpe School is a non-selective secondary school with academy status based in Staveley in the Chesterfield district of Derbyshire, England. History The school was founded in 1572 A quote from an 1857 directory: Netherthorpe School.—Francis Rodes, by will, 29th of Elizabeth, left a yearly rent charge of £20 per annum, to be taken forth of his manor of Elmton; £8 thereof to the Grammar school, at Staveley Netherthorpe, £8 for two scholarships in St. John's, Cambridge, and £4 for the relief of soldiers who should be sent to the wars out of Staveley, Barlborough, and Elmton. Robert Sitwell, by will, 41st Elizabeth, gave a messuage in Killamarsh, on trust, to pay £6 yearly to the schoolmaster. Lord James Cavendish, 1742, left a rent charge of £6, issuing out of closes at Hollingwood, for the maintenance of the schoolmaster. In addition to these, the Rev. Francis Gisborne gave £10, to be invested in stock. The income of the various benefactions amounts to £29 per annum. All the sons of parishioners are considered as entitled to classical instruction; but the master makes his own charge for other branches. The school was known as Netherthorpe Grammar School. From the 1980s until 1999, it was a grant-maintained school, and became a foundation school. Today it is an academy.

New Inn Hall, Oxford

New Inn Hall was one of the earliest medieval halls of the University of Oxford. It was located in New Inn Hall Street, Oxford. History Trilleck's Inn The original building on the site was Trilleck's Inn, a medieval hall or hostel for students, which passed on the death in 1360 of its founder Bishop John Trilleck, Bishop of Hereford to William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester, and from him to New College in 1392. New Inn Hall After being used by Cistercian students for some years from about 1400 to 1420, the hall was entirely rebuilt shortly before 1476 and renamed the New Inn. As the Inns developed into teaching establishments, New Inn Hall became noted for its jurists such as Alberico Gentili, Regius Professor of Civil Law, Sir Daniel Donne, the first MP for Oxford University in Parliament and Dr John Budden, Regius Professor of Civil Law. During the First English Civil War, the university's college plate was requisitioned by the King's Oxford Parliament and taken to New Inn Hall to be melted down into "Oxford Crowns". Part of the site was used in 1833 by John Cramer, then the principal, to build the Cramer Building as a hostel for undergraduates. Merger with Balliol College Under a statute of 1881, New Inn Hall was merged into Balliol College in 1887. Balliol acquired New Inn Hall's admissions and other records for 1831–1887 as well as the library of New Inn Hall, which largely contained 18th century law books. New Inn Hall was then used to accommodate students on an Indian Civil Service probationary course. St Peter's College When the site was no longer required by Balliol, it was put up for sale. The Cramer Building was sold in 1894 to Francis James Chavasse and W. Talbot Rice (rector of St Peter-le-Bailey), who converted it into a missionary centre known as Hannington Hall. In 1929, it became part of St Peter's Hall (now St Peter's College), a new college founded by Chavasse, formerly rector of St Peter-le-Bailey and later Bishop of Liverpool. The remainder of the site was purchased by the City Council, and the buildings demolished to make room for a new Central Girls' School. The school site was subsequently purchased by St Peter's College. Principals The following served as Principals of New Inn Hall: See also Category:Alumni of New Inn Hall, Oxford References
New Inn Hall

New Inn Hall var en av de tidigaste medeltida hallarna (Medieval Hall) vid University of Oxford. Den låg på New Inn Hall Street, Oxford. Historia Trilleck's Inn Den ursprungliga byggnaden på platsen var Trilleck's Inn, en medeltida hall eller internat för studenter, som vid grundaren biskop John Trillecks, biskop av Herefords, död 1360 gick vidare till William av Wykeham, biskop av Winchester, och därifrån till New College 1392. New Inn Hall Efter att ha använts av cistercienstudenter i några år, från cirka 1400 till 1420, byggdes hallen helt om strax före 1476 och döptes om till New Inn. När Inns utvecklades till undervisningsinstitutioner blev New Inn Hall känt för sina jurister såsom Alberico Gentili, Regius Professor i civilrätt, Sir Daniel Donne, den första parlamentsledamoten för Oxford University i parlamentet, och Dr John Budden, Regius Professor i civilrätt. Under det första engelska inbördeskriget rekvirerades universitetets guld av kungens Oxfordparlament och fördes till New Inn Hall för att smältas ner till "Oxford Crowns". En del av platsen användes 1833 av dåvarande rektorn John Cramer för att bygga Cramer Building som ett internat för studenter. Sammanslagningen med Balliol College Enligt en lag från 1881 slogs New Inn Hall samman med Balliol College 1887. Balliol förvärvade New Inn Halls antagningsböcker och andra register för 1831–1887 samt biblioteket vid New Inn Hall, som till stor del innehöll juridikböcker från 1700-talet. New Inn Hall användes då för att ta emot studenter på en provanställningskurs inom Indian Civil Service. St Peter's College När platsen inte längre behövdes av Balliol lades den ut till försäljning. Cramer Building såldes 1894 till Francis James Chavasse och W. Talbot Rice (kyrkoherde i St Peter-le-Bailey), som omvandlade den till ett missionscenter känt som Hannington Hall. År 1929 blev det en del av St Peter's Hall (nu St Peter's College), ett nytt college grundat av Chavasse, tidigare rektor i St Peter-le-Bailey och senare biskop av Liverpool. Resten av området köptes av stadsfullmäktige och byggnaderna revs för att ge plats åt en ny Central Girls' School. Skolområdet köptes därefter av St Peter's College.

Newcastle upon Tyne Church High School

Newcastle upon Tyne Church High School (also known locally as "Church High") was a private day school for girls in Jesmond, less than a mile north of the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Until 2014 it was the oldest continuously operating girls' school established in the city. History "Church High", as the school is commonly known, was founded in 1885 by the Church Schools Company (now known as the United Church Schools Trust). It left the company in 1925 and was independent thereafter, but retained ties with the Diocese of Newcastle and St Nicholas's Cathedral. The school was the first female team to appear on BBC Radio Top of the Form, on Monday 3 October 1949; the first series in 1948 had been for only boys' schools (in London). The team won the first round against Taunton's School for Boys in Southampton. It later progressed to the last round of the England section, where it faced a girls' grammar school team from Crediton in Devon. Church High was one of the North East's top performing independent schools in GCSEs and A Levels. In the 2010 GCSE league table, it was ranked joint third with Central Newcastle High School out of 100 schools in the North East. 98% of its candidates scored 5 or more A*-C grades that year. On 29 January 2013, it was announced Church High would merge with the nearby Central Newcastle High School to form Newcastle High School for Girls in 2014. The schools merged in 2014. On Closure, a heritage website was created to make previously published school history from formation more widely accessible.
