Egerton Rothesay School

Egerton Rothesay School is an independent special education school located in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom. History Egerton Rothesay School arose from the amalgamation of two Berkhamsted prep schools Rothesay, a pre-preparatory school founded in 1922 and situated in Charles Street, was bought in 1981. Three years later, Egerton School, founded in 1951 and located a few hundred yards along the same road, was purchased. The two amalgamated giving the school its current name. In 1988 a purpose-built middle school, formerly Thomas Bourne Church of England Middle School, was purchased from Hertfordshire County Council and the former Rothesay School buildings were sold for development. The new school located on Durrants Lane was opened in September 1988 by the then Prime Minister, Rt Hon. Margaret Thatcher. Initially a pure mainstream school ERS began to develop additional facilities for SEN education once on the new site. Development of specialist facilities and expertise followed along with the decision to become a school that was entirely focused on providing a superb education for the child who had some form of "additional, individual need". (This on the basis that the SEN description can so easily become merely a negative label which can impact both a child's self-esteem and their ability to develop strategies for learning to meet their particular need.) The Junior School in Charles Street moved to a new building on the Durrants Lane site in January 2008, and the Charles Street premises were sold in 2009. Further development on the Durrants Lane site has included a 2-story classroom block with a large hall. Further buildings have been added for the 6th Form and Specialist Learning.In March 2020 it was rated as excellent in all areas by the Independent School Inspectorate. Achievements and recognition The school specializes in supporting the education of children with Special Needs whilst following a mainstream curriculum. An ISI Inspection in March 2020 rated the school as excellent in all areas. Open Days are usually held twice a term. However as the school is often over subscribed these depend on available space.

Eggar's School

Eggar's School is a co-educational secondary school with academy status, located in the town of Alton, Hampshire, England. Founding and history In 1640 John Eggar of Moungomeries founded the Free Grammar School, Alton which subsequently became known as Eggars Grammar School. The School Badge displays the date 1642. The Eggar family have been associated with the area for many centuries. They were great hop growers and Richard Eggar was credited, in 1890, with the invention of the "rolling floor" to ease the drying process in the kilns. Grammar school Between 1640 - 1975 entrance to the Grammar School was largely based on the results of the eleven-plus examination. Pupils from other schools were able to transfer to the Sixth Form at the Grammar School after their O-levels (GCSE) though many chose to go to the Technical Colleges in Petersfield, Winchester, Farnborough and Guildford. This school occupied a site at Anstey Road, Alton until 1969, when it moved to a new site on London Road, Holybourne, Alton. Comprehensive school In 1975 the school became a comprehensive school, accessible to all children from the area. Academy The school converted to academy status on 1 September 2012. Current site The current site for Eggar's School has been used since 1969.

Eggardon Hill

Eggardon Hill is a prehistoric hillfort on a hill in Dorset, England. It is located on chalk uplands approximately four miles to the east of the town of Bridport. The Hill Eggardon Hill stands 252 metres (827 ft) above sea level and is classified as a Hump (hill of any height with a drop of 100 metres or more on all sides). The highest point is to the east of the hillfort, (some sources give a height of 254m). The hill provides extensive views of the surrounding countryside and the English Channel to the south. The southern half of the hill is owned and maintained by The National Trust (which permits free public access throughout the year) with the northern part in private ownership. Prehistory The earliest archaeological features on the hill are linear earthworks which cross the interior. These were partially excavated during 1963-6 and found to be Bronze Age. There are also two bowl barrows within the area of the hillfort that were dated to the Middle Bronze Age. There are also three further bowl barrows and a disc barrow on the top of the hill outside of the area of the hillfort. The large multivallate hillfort dates from the Iron Age. The surviving earthworks enclose an area of approximately 21ha in total. The defences consist of three ramparts with two medial ditches with additional outer banks to the north-west and east. Ditches and counterscarp banks provide additional protection at the staggered entrances and to the south west where there is an additional outwork. Later history The Hundred of Eggardon is first documented in the Domesday Book of 1086. The name Eggardon is derived from an Old English place name, meaning the hill belonging to Eohhere. The smuggler Isaac Gulliver (1745-1822) (who owned Eggardon Hill Farm) is reputed to have planted a stand of pine trees on Eggardon Hill, to provide an aid to navigation for his ships as they approached the Dorset coast. Although the trees were later felled on government orders, the octagonal earthworks used to protect them from the elements is still visible today and marked on Ordnance Survey maps of the area. Preservation The Hillfort and the two bowl barrows within it are a scheduled monument. The group of three bowl barrows and the disc barrow outside of the hillfort are scheduled separately. The southern half of the hill is owned and maintained by The National Trust (which permits free public access throughout the year) with the northern part in private ownership.

Eglingham Hall

Eglingham Hall (grid reference NU10421954) is a former mansion house and a Grade II* listed building situated at Eglingham, near Alnwick, Northumberland. The manor of Eglingham was acquired by Henry Ogle, a nephew of Robert, 1st Baron Ogle of Ogle in 1514. Luke Ogle (1510–1597) built a new mansion house on the site of a pele tower. The Ogle family of Eglingham were parliamentarian during the English Civil War. Henry Ogle (1600–1669), Deputy Lieutenant of Northumberland in 1644, was the representative for the county in the parliaments of 1653 and 1654. His son John (1621–1686) was Commissioner for the Commonwealth in 1650 and High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1654. It is said that Oliver Cromwell was a guest at Eglingham in 1650. The Hall was rebuilt in grander style for Robert Ogle in 1728, to a design including a seven-bay façade possibly by architect William Wakefield. Nikolaus Pevsner noted that the rusticated quoins and doorway of Eglingham Hall showed the influence of Seaton Delaval Hall, and suggested that William Etty who had worked there might also have worked at Eglingham. Later improvements and alterations took place in 1780 and 1890 and an east wing was added in 1903 by Temple Wilson. The Ogles remained in possession for some 400 years. The Hall was sold to the Bewicke family early in the 20th century and their descendants remain resident. References External links Historic England. "Eglingham Hall (1041971)".

Chesham Bois

Chesham Bois (traditionally CHESS-əm BOYZ, but now more commonly CHESH-əm BOYZ) is a village in the Chiltern Hills, in Buckinghamshire, England, adjacent to both Amersham and Chesham. History Initially a hamlet in the parish of Chesham, the manor was assessed at 1½ hides in the reign of King Edward the Confessor. The estate belonged to a brother of King Harold, who was killed with him at the Battle of Hastings, and William the Conqueror probably gave this "royal" land to his own half-brother, Odo, Bishop of Bayeux. The village gets its name from the de Bosco family (the French version of which was "de Bois") and by 1213 in the reign of King John a William du Bois was holding the manor. By about 1430, in the reign of Henry VI, the manor had been acquired by the Cheynes of Chenies who remained for over 300 years, before conveying the manor to the Duke of Bedford in 1735. Chesham Bois House, the site of the manor, was the subject of an archaeological excavation by television programme Time Team, which was broadcast in the United Kingdom on Channel 4 in March 2007. During the 1920s and 30s, the Metropolitan Railway’s Amersham station was named “Amersham and Chesham Bois”. Notable people Notable people born in Chesham Bois include the crime writer and composer Edmund Crispin; Lieutenant Commander Peter Scawen Watkinson Roberts, who was awarded the Victoria Cross during World War II; and Mervyn King, former governor of the Bank of England. Chesham Bois was for a time, home to artist William Monk, and The Grange, Bois Common (now demolished) was the long-time home of his father-in-law, the glass merchant Jules Wuidart. Today The village contains two churches: the Anglican church of St. Leonard's (started in the 12th century) and the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour (built in 1915 and extended in 1953), which also houses the traditionalist Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter. Chesham Bois C of E School (1893) is located down Bois Lane, a mixed primary school with over 200 pupils. The Beacon School is also located in the village and is an independent preparatory school educating over 400 boys. Also located in the village is Our Lady's Roman Catholic Combined School which is opposite the church of the same name. Elangeni School is situated at the end of Woodside Avenue and is a mixed state school. A 40-acre (160,000 m2) sycamore and ash wood and common is the site of a cricket pavilion, as well as being the site for the biennial village fete. Although "two hundred years ago it was in the depths of the country, a small village with no more than twenty-four houses", today some of Chesham Bois merges into Amersham-on-the-Hill.

Elcot Park Hotel

The Retreat at Elcot Park is a hotel housed in a Grade II-listed 18th-century building located near Kintbury, between Hungerford and Newbury, The Retreat is a 55 bedroom hotel set in 16 acres (6.5 ha) of grounds. History The Elcot Park estate was purchased by Anthony Bushby Bacon (1772 - 1827), the son of a wealthy Welsh industrialist, from Charles Dundas, 1st Baron Amesbury, a prominent landowner from nearby Barton Court. He built the house in 1817. The gardens of Elcot Park were laid out in an English landscape style, with the area around the mansion laid to lawns with clumps of trees, woodland walks and distant views over the Kennet valley. There also was a walled kitchen garden with a range of glasshouses, including four greenhouses for vines and peaches, and also a pine pit heated with hot water. Elcot Park was well known in the nineteenth century for Bacon's implementation of hot water heating in the glasshouses. When Anthony Bacon died in 1827, he was heavily in debt with two mortgages against the house. His son, Charles Bacon, bought the house in 1831 after clearing the debts, but seemed to continue to have financial difficulties as he had to sell the property in 1844. The sale documents from that time still exist and show Elcot Park was sold with 122 acres (49 ha) in contrast with today's 16 acres (6.5 ha). The Shelleys In 1844 Lady Elizabeth Shelley, the mother of Percy Bysshe Shelley, purchased Elcot and moved there from Field Place with her two unmarried daughters, Hellen and Margaret, following the death of her husband, Timothy Shelley. Soon after she moved there Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley visited them to discuss her son’s inheritance. Elizabeth died in 1846 and Mary continued to visit Hellen and Margaret at Elcot. A letter from Mary written at Elcot House in 1847 still exists. Hellen was fond of her brother Percy and in 1857, while she resided at Elcot, she wrote a series of letters about her memories of their childhood together. These letters became the key sources in the many biographies that have been published about the poet. The estate was then let for a number of years to various military families until the Shelley family sold their interest in Elcot Park to Sir Richard Vincent Sutton, 6th Baronet in 1899. Sir Richard’s main seat was Benham Park, and the land attached to Elcot at that time adjoined Benham Valence. Elcot Park was again let for a further 25 years to a prominent JP by the name of Richard Plaskett Thomas. He ran J Thomas & Co, Tea Brokers based in Calcutta, India. The land belonging to Elcot Park then became part of the tenancy for Elcot Farmhouse. The main mansion, parkland and outbuildings forming a separate tenancy. References External links Hotel website
Eldon Square Shopping Centre

Eldon Square (estilizado como EldonSq.) É um shopping center em Newcastle upon Tyne, Inglaterra. Foi inaugurado em 1976 e foi construído no local da Old Eldon Square, uma parte famosa de Newcastle georgiana projetada por John Dobson em cerca de 1824. Esta reconstrução, que deixou apenas o terraço oriental de pé, foi criticada, com um escritor chamando-a de "o maior exemplo de vandalismo arquitetônico na Grã-Bretanha desde a guerra". O local O centro comercial ocupa uma área próxima ao muro da cidade antiga, que seguiu o curso da Blackett Street. Isso significa que o moderno centro comercial é construído em ambos os lados de onde a muralha já esteve. A partir de um mapa desenhado por Charles Hutton em 1770, parece que a antiga muralha teria corrido paralelamente com o lado sul da rua Blackett. Esta é a muralha mais a norte da porção sul do centro comercial. Referências
