Little Heath School

Little Heath School is a voluntary-aided co-educational comprehensive secondary school. The school is located in the Little Heath area of the Reading suburb of Tilehurst, in the English county of Berkshire. Because of its location outside the Reading borough boundary, but in Reading, the school is managed by the West Berkshire Local Education Authority though it serves a catchment area that covers both sides of the borough boundary. The school's pupil capacity is approximately 1,700 students with approximately 270 people a year in years 7-11. In February 2018, the school received a 'Good' rating from an Ofsted formal Inspection. The current sixth form center, which was purpose-built in 2015, was opened by Reading West MP Alok Sharma. Part of the campus was rebuilt from 2019-2021, including drama and technology spaces, a gym, and a new canteen. The campus was open for use in April 2021. Little Heath has a house system, installed in 2014. The four houses are named after castles in the United Kingdom: Stirling (Red), Arundel (Green), Conway (Blue), and Warwick (Yellow). Little Heath also has annual sports days where each house competes against the other.

Little Ilford School

Little Ilford School is a coeducational secondary school located in Little Ilford within the London Borough of Newham in East London, United Kingdom. It has 1700 students with a building capacity of 1800. The school has been described by Ofsted as 'Good' in their last inspection in 2022. Construction of new building In 2014, it was announced that Little Ilford School would be part of the Priority School Building Programme (PSBP), a government scheme to rebuild or refurbish school buildings in the worst condition, after its original building was deemed not fit for purpose. Under the programme, the school started the construction of a new £22.8m four-storey building, designed by CPMG with the construction contract being awarded to Wates. The demolition of the original school building was executed at the new building's completion and all students and staff moved to the new facility in 2016. Planned expansion In 2019, Newham Council announced proposals to expand Little Ilford School from 10 forms of entry to 12 due to a forecasted increase of Year 7 admissions after September 2019. This would increase the school's capacity from around 1,500 students to 1,800 and initial budget estimates show a cost of £13.1m. Staff have expressed concerns for the proposals, claiming they will affect the quality of education in the school, with 85% stating they have concerns or major reservations. 7 of the school governors voted in favour of the plans, 5 against and 2 abstained. National Education Union members organised staff walkouts and strike action in protest of the proposals. Notable former pupils Bobby Zamora, footballer References External links Official website
Little Malvern Priory

Little Malvern Priory, in the village of Little Malvern near Malvern, Worcestershire, was a Benedictine monastery c. 1171–1537. It was founded from Worcester Cathedral. Little remains of the 12th-century church, which was rebuilt in 1480–1482. The site is now occupied by a house named Little Malvern Court, which has limited public opening. The present building comprises a medieval chancel and crossing tower, and a modern west porch on the site of the east bays of the nave. The transepts and the two chapels flanking the choir are in ruins. The grade I listed Little Malvern Priory church, dedicated to St Giles, is adjacent. See Abbeys and priories in England for a complete list of English abbeys and priories. National Grid reference: SO770404. Royal window at Malvern Priory Church When the church was rebuilt in 1480-1482, a stained glass window depicting King Edward IV and his family was placed behind the altar in the most prominent position. It is of similar design to the York Royal Window at Canterbury Cathedral. Unfortunately, here most of the window has not survived. Originally the window would have likely depicted the entire royal family, in 6 panels. The two princes were on the left, each in a separate window panel: Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York - currently missing. Edward, prince of Wales (the later Edward V) - still in place, believed to be one of a few surviving contemporary depictions. Then the royal couple in the middle : King Edward IV - currently missing. Queen Elizabeth Woodville - her head, headwear, and part of her torso are all missing. And finally all the York Princesses in two panels to the right of their parents: Elizabeth of York - still in place. Mary of York - still in place. Cecily of York - currently unknown. Anne of York - currently unknown. Catherine of York - currently unknown. Bridget of York - currently unknown; possibly not yet born Only one of two panels is still at place and heads of two younger girls were added to the panel of their older sisters (thus making it impossible to say who they are). Originally they would have been in the second panel.

Little Munden Primary School

Little Munden Primary School is a Church of England voluntary controlled primary school in the village of Dane End, near Ware in Hertfordshire. It is a one-form entry school educating boys and girls aged between four and 11 years. There are four classes organised by age and they are: Acorn Class (Nursery and Reception), Beech Class (Year 1 and Year 2), Hazel Class (Year 3 and Year 4), and finally Oak Class (Year 5 and Year 6). The school roll varies but is generally between 85 and 100. History The school was founded in 1819 at All Saints Church in Little Munden by the Reverend J P Reynolds, who served as rector from 1819 to 1831. Reynolds helped to raise the finance for a new school on a separate site. The school was duly opened in 1826. A small extension for infants was added in 1869, and the school was further enlarged in 1900, 1970, and 1973. Little Munden was originally a parish school serving children of all ages. In 1945, following the Education Act 1944, under which it was stipulated that all children over 11 years old should attend secondary school, Little Munden became a primary school. Premises The school was designated as a Grade II listed building by English Heritage in 1984 as it is an early example of a parish school. Unusually, a footpath with public right-of-way runs between the school buildings, requiring the route to be kept unobstructed. Academic standards The Ofsted report of the inspection in February 2014 rated the overall effectiveness of the school as 'Good', point two on a four-point scale. It said "Achievement is good. From low starting points, pupils make good progress to reach average standards at the end of Year 6." and "Teaching is good. Teachers make learning enjoyable so pupils readily come to school." The assessment of 'Good' was reiterated in the report of the Short Inspection in December 2017. Activities In 2007, Years Five and Six took part in a pilot project, working with Hertford Museum, to create an exhibition about their locality covering the period 1830–1930. The school benefits from an active PTFA, Friends of Little Munden, who raise money for the school via a range of community events held throughout the year. These include the Dane End Summer Festival and Christmas Parade. References External links Official website
Little Stainton

Little Stainton is a village in the borough of Darlington and the ceremonial county of County Durham, England. It is a township in the parish of Bishopton, County Durham, situated a few miles west of Stockton-on-Tees. It is a hamlet, consisting of houses and farms that have no local service facilities. On one side of the street, a stream—Bishopton Beck—runs along the bottom of the gardens. History It is rumoured that the last witch in England was to be hanged in Little Stainton. For much of its history Little Stainton was part of the parish of Bishopston. This means that it did not have its own parish church and instead the inhabitants would have journeyed to Bishopston to attend religious services. In the medieval period (1066 to 1540) Little Stainton was larger than it is now. The sites of some of the buildings can still be seen as earthworks. Although, the remains are excellent, some were destroyed in 1991–2. Archaeologists recorded some medieval pottery on the site after the ploughing. In the area around Manor Farm a number of fragments of 10th and 11th century pottery have also been discovered. These suggest that the village probably had an Anglo-Saxon origin; a possibility also reflected in its name: 'Stainton' means 'stoney farm' in Old English. Until around 1960, Little Stainton consisted of a group of individual farms, to which was added a set of four council houses with agricultural dwelling restrictions. In the late 1980s, planning permission was granted for a series of private dwellings that have transformed Little Stainton into a rural agglomeration of dwellings, within which the farms now constitute a minority. Although much of the land around the dwellings is owned by the farms, many of the private dwellings have a substantial amount of land, ranging from 2 acres (8,100 m2) to about 5 acres (20,000 m2). Demographics From the Census 2011 the population of Little Stainton has included that of Great Stainton and was 193.

Littledale Hall

Littledale Hall is a former country house in the civil parish of Caton-with-Littledale in Lancashire, England, some 10 miles (16 km) east of Lancaster. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. It dates from 1849 and, in the absence of documentary evidence, its design has been attributed on stylistic grounds to the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley. It is constructed in sandstone with slate roofs, and is in Gothic style. History Littledale Hall was built in 1849 for Revd John Dodson, of a Liverpool shipping family. He had been vicar of Cockerham from 1835 to 1849, but seceded from the Established Church because of the Gorham judgement and retired with his family to Littledale. There he also built a Free Church in which he preached for thirty years, dying in Eastbourne in 1890. His eldest son John died at Littledale in 1851 at the age of 18. The house became a Christian retreat in 1988 and a residential addiction treatment centre in 2006. See also Listed buildings in Caton-with-Littledale References

Litton Reservoirs

Litton Reservoirs (also known as Coley Reservoirs) (grid reference ST590553) are two reservoirs near the village of Litton, Somerset, England. They are operated by Bristol Water. They lie on the boundary between Bath and North East Somerset and Mendip districts. The individual lakes are called Lower Litton and Upper Litton. The former is 8 acres (32,000 m2) in size, the latter 16 acres (65,000 m2) and much deeper. They were built around 1850 by the Bristol Waterworks Company in conjunction with the "Line of Works" to bring water from the Mendip Hills to Bristol. A public footpath goes around the lakes and across the dam. The banks are home to a variety of flowers including primroses (Primula vulgaris), common bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta), wood anemone (Anemone nemorosa), violets and red campion. Several species of birds are frequent visitors including moorhens, coots, mallards, mute swans and tufted ducks.

Fish breeding takes place in the netted area immediately below the upper dam is the site for fish breeding. Photographs References External links River Chew web site
Moulin à vent de Chesterton

Le moulin à vent de Chesterton est l'édifice le plus connu de Chesterton, au Royaume-Uni, situé sur la colline en haut du village depuis près de 400 ans. Histoire Le moulin à vent fut bâti en 1632, probablement par Sir Edward Peyto, qui était maître des lieux. À cette époque, John Stone, un apprenti d'Inigo Jones, était à Chesterton pour concevoir le nouveau manoir, et il a probablement participé à la conception du moulin. Sir Edward était mathématicien et astrologue mais, même si certains ont prétendu que la tour fut construite à l'origine comme observatoire, les archives du domaine, maintenant à la mairie de Warwick, démontrent qu'il a toujours été un moulin à vent, étant de ce fait la plus ancienne tour-moulin en Angleterre encore en état de fonctionner.

Lock Island

Lock Island is an island in the River Thames in England connected to Shepperton Lock, near Shepperton. Facing the attached by lock-gate bridge mainland is a hedge-lined lawn hosting a café, below and above zones of free short-stay moorings. The Thames River Police have a station on the island. Shepperton Canoe Club and Weybridge Mariners' Boat Club face part of the Weybridge side. The island is connected to Hamhaugh Island by a walkway across the main weir, in turn having a closed-access weir to Hamm Court, Addlestone. History Lock Island was uninhabited until the late 19th century, when some people from London moved there due to the unhealthy environment of the city. During the Blitz, a few families moved to the island and stayed there, with their descendants living in the few homes (all in the east of the island) such as Lock House. Environment The west of the island is undisturbed wilderness, and is home to a population of European water voles. A little of the island has been a boat store, given permission in 1982.

Lock Wood Island

Lock Wood Island ist eine Insel in der Themse flussaufwärts des Abingdon Lock. Die Insel liegt in einem scharfen Bogen des Flusses und ist dicht mit Bäumen bewachsen. Im 19. Jahrhundert gab es ein kleines Haus auf der Insel, das über eine einfache Brücke mit dem Festland verbunden war. Es war ein beliebter Ort für Ausflüge. Alice Liddell besuchte die Insel mit Lewis Carroll, der Alice hinter den Spiegeln bald nach einem Besuch dort schrieb. Es gibt Hinweise darauf, dass es ein Wehr und eine Stauschleuse an der Insel gab, was den Namen der Insel erklären könnte (engl. Schleuse = Lock). Die Insel gehörte eine Zeit lang Lord Harcourt.

Lock Wood Island

Lock Wood Island is an island in the River Thames in England just downstream of Nuneham House on the reach above Abingdon Lock. The island sits on a sharp bend in the river. It is densely covered with tall trees and has a narrow channel behind it. In the nineteenth century there was a thatched cottage on the island linked to the bank by a rustic bridge which was a popular place for picknickers. Alice Liddell used to visit the island with Lewis Carroll, who penned Through the Looking-Glass shortly after one of these visits. There is evidence of weirs and flash locks here, at one time owned by Lord Harcourt, which may account for the name of the island. Wildlife The island, due to its difficult accessibility without a bridge to both people and other predatory wildlife, serves as a safe haven for different bird species such as Canadian Geese, gaggle of which can be spotted around the island during summertime.
