Keston Roman villa

The Keston Roman villa is an archaeological site in Keston in the London Borough of Bromley, England. The villa consisted of several buildings including a mausoleum. The latter is preserved above ground. Excavations at the villa were carried out over the last hundred years. A sarcophagus was found by farmers around 1783. In 1828 the first proper excavations were started uncovering a round mausoleum and another sarcophagus. Another excavation in the same year uncovered the same structures and was published in detail in 1829. In 1854 was excavated the main villa building. In the following years a few smaller excavations were done. Between 1967 and 1990 the villa complex was excavated and recorded by the West Kent Border Archaeology Group. The result were published in two volumes. Settlements remains at the site of the later villa date back to the time around 2000 BC. Mainly flint tools were found. Further settlement remains belong to the Middle Iron age. Three pits are datable to this period, containing pottery dating from about 600 to 200 BC. Postholes might also date to this phase although postholes are very hard to date and many of them might belong to a later phase of the settlement. Further remains belong to the late Iron age, about 50 BC to AD 50. Many pits and postholes belong to this period. About ten groups of postholes can be reconstructed to small rectangular structures, that are common at other late Iron Age sites too and that are interpreted at raised granaries. The next period of the settlement dates to the Roman period, from about AD 50 to 160. A small cemetery belongs to this period and the remains of two enclosures. The evidence is of some special importance. This is an Iron age settlement still functioning under Roman rule without major break. Around AD 160 the first houses were constructed that might be called villas. There are three larger wooden buildings. One in the North, one in the South and the largest in the West. The latter building was once about 16 to 6 m large and was most likely the main residence of the villa complex. Plaster fragments show that some rooms were painted. The building burned down around AD 160. Around AD 200 the main building on the west was rebuilt in stone. The new house had a bath and parts of the floors were covered with tesserae. At least some rooms and ceilings were painted. To the third century AD belongs a small cemetery in the North. The main building is a round mausoleum that was once covered with red plaster. Two smaller structures were found next to it. Three sarcophagi were found here, one of them decorated on the outside. In one of the tombs was found a small, well preserved lead coffin. Around 300 the south building was also rebuild in stone. Its function remains unclear. The Northern building was no longer used. The western, main villa still functioned till about AD 400. There is clear evidence for further occupation of the area after Britain was no longer under Roman rule. Remains of an early Saxon village were found, dating about AD 450–550. "Iron Age settlement and Roman villa at Warbank, Keston" is a scheduled monument. Gallery References
Knowlton-Kreise

Die Knowlton-Kreise sind Henge-Monumente und liegen südwestlich von Cranborne und westlich der Straße B3078 in der Grafschaft Dorset in England (OSGB - SU 02 09). Entdeckung und Ausgrabungen 1995 wurden nach einem trockenen Sommer auf Luftbildern in einem Erbsenfeld Bewuchsanomalien entdeckt, die menschliche Eingriffe in den Boden anzeigen. Dies waren die großen Knowlton Henge. Die ältesten menschlichen Aktivitäten zeigen sich im großen Henge und die letzten stellen die Ruinen einer mittelalterlichen Kirche dar, die mitten im so genannten „Kirchenkreis“ steht. Die Denkmäler stammen aus der Jungstein-, Bronze- und Eisenzeit, der Römerzeit und dem Mittelalter. Die Fotografien wurden im Jahre 2001 von der Bournemouth University, die mit den Untersuchungen des Komplexes beschäftigt war, in einer Monografie zusammengefasst. Die archäologischen Grabungen konzentrieren sich bislang auf die Henges und den größten Rundhügel von Dorset. Steinzeit Die vier neolithischen Hengemonumente sind: der Kirchenkreis, der Nordkreis, der Südkreis (220 m Durchmesser) der Kreis des alten Friedhofs Die Luftaufnahmen zeigen auch inzwischen eingeebnete Befunde. Drei sind möglicherweise Gräberfelder, eines ein Long Barrow. Parallele Gräben bildem einen kleinen Cursus. Bronzezeit Die 178 durch Luftbildaufnahmen entdeckten Grabhügel von Knowlton sind Rundhügel der Bronzezeit. Sie liegen am Nordwesthang mit Blick auf den Fluss Allen und zeigen erhöhte Konzentrationen an beiden Enden des Bereichs. Eisen- und Römerzeit Einige Strukturen waren möglicherweise Langhügel. Sie und andere kleinere Strukturen legen die Fortsetzung der Nutzung des Areals für zeremonielle und sepulkrale Nutzung während der Eisenzeit und der Römerzeit nahe. Mittelalter Eine Kirche aus dem 12. Jahrhundert steht im Mittelpunkt des Kirchenkreises. Der Graben der Henge scheint die Grenze eines mittelalterlichen Friedhofs zu markieren, der aber auch aus jüngerer Zeit stammen könnte. Das Dorf Knowlton wurde im Jahre 1485 aufgelassen, als die Beulenpest die Bewohner dahingerafft hatte. Die Kirche wurde 1747 aufgegeben.

University of Kent

Die University of Kent, bis 2003 University of Kent at Canterbury, ist eine britische Universität bei Canterbury in Kent. Der zentrale Hauptcampus liegt auf der Gemarkung von Canterbury in der ländlichen Grafschaft Kent in Südostengland; weitere Gebäude befinden sich in den nahe gelegenen Ortschaften Chatham (Medway Campus) und Tonbridge (beide ebenfalls Kent). Zudem hat die Universität Zentren für Postgraduates in Brüssel und Paris. Geschichte Eine Universitätsgründung in der alten Stadt Canterbury, Sitz des Erzbischofs von Canterbury, des geistlichen Oberhaupts der Church of England, wurde bereits 1947 angedacht. Hauptgrund hierfür waren steigende Studentenzahlen. Es dauerte jedoch bis 1959, ehe die Initiative ergriffen wurde und die Suche nach einem Gelände für den Campus begann. 1962 hatte man ein Areal bei der Beverly Farm gefunden, am Stadtrand von Canterbury. Die offizielle Gründung erfolgte mit Gewährung der Royal Charter im Januar 1965. Der Lehrbetrieb begann im Oktober 1965. Marina, Duchess of Kent, wurde 1966 die erste Kanzlerin der Hochschule. In den 1990ern und 2000ern erfolgte die Expansion außerhalb des zentralen Campus, nach Tonbridge und Medway. Daher wurde 2003 „at Canterbury“ aus dem Universitätsnamen gestrichen. Gliederung Der Canterbury Campus befindet sich auf einer Anhöhe etwa 2 Meilen (3 km) vom Ortszentrum der Bischofsstadt entfernt. Er erstreckt sich über eine Fläche von etwa 300 Acres (1,2 km²). Hier befinden sich fünf Colleges der Universität, die nach berühmten britischen oder US-amerikanischen Persönlichkeiten benannt sind: Eliot College (Eliot starb am Tag der Gründung der Uni und dieses Colleges, dem 4. Januar 1965) Rutherford College (gegr. 1966) Keynes College (1968) Darwin College (1970) Woolf College (2008) Der Medway Campus befindet sich seit 2004 am Fluss Medway am Chatham Dockyard, etwa 30 Meilen (46 km) nordwestlich von Canterbury, der Tonbridge Campus (seit 1982, ständig erweitert) in Tonbridge, etwa 43 Meilen (70 km) südwestlich von Canterbury. Die Universität ist in drei Fakultäten gegliedert, je eine für Geisteswissenschaften, Sozialwissenschaften und Naturwissenschaften. An der School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research besteht seit 2007 das im englischsprachigen Raum einmalige Centre for Parenting Culture Studies, das es sich zur Aufgabe gesetzt hat, interdisziplinäre Forschung zur gegenwärtigen Kultur der Elternschaft zu fördern. Studierende Im Studienjahr 2019/2020 waren 18.710 Studierende eingeschrieben, von denen 10.135 weiblich und 8.570 männlich waren. 2012 waren 19.665 Personen eingeschrieben gewesen, 2014/2015 waren es 18.985. 2019/2020 kamen 14.525 Studierende aus England, 105 aus Wales und 1.360 aus der EU. 16.500 waren Vollzeitstudenten, 2.210 studierten in Teilzeit. Für das Studienjahr 2020/2021 schrieben sich 4.850 neu an der Universität ein. Siehe auch Liste der Universitäten in England Weblinks Website der University of Kent (engl.) Einzelnachweise

Кентський університет

Кентський університет (англ. University of Kent) — напівколегіальний громадський дослідницький університет в графстві Кент, Велика Британія. Заснований в 1965 році і визнаний одним з університетів з листового скла. Історія Заснування Ідея заснувати університет у місті Кентербері розглядалася ще в 1947 році, коли зростання кількості студентів призвело до бажання створити новий університет, зокрема Кентський. Проте план так і не втілили в життя. Десятиліття по тому приріст населення й збільшення потреби в нових університетах змусили переглянути цю ідею. Первісна назва, обрана в 1962 році, — Кентський університет в Кентербері. З 1965 по 2000 роки 4 січня 1965 року Кентський університет в Кентербері отримав королівську хартію, і перша черга з 500 студентів почали навчання в жовтні того ж року. 30 березня 1966 року принцеса Марина, герцогиня Кентська була офіційно призначена першим канцлером університету. Протягом 1990-х і 2000-х років університет розширився поза межі першого кампусу, відкривши нові кампуси в Медвеї, Тонбриджі та Брюсселі, і встановивши партнерство з кількома коледжами. З 2000-х років і донині У 2007 році було проведено ребрендинг, і університет отримав новий логотип і сайт. У 2015 році в університеті відбулося кілька заходів з нагоди святкування 50-ї річниці заснування університету. У 2016 році розпочалися консультації щодо подальшого розвитку кампусу в Кентербері. Кампус Кампус у Кентербері Головний кампус у Кентербері займає площу в 300 акрів (1,2 км²) і розташований у парковій зоні в 3 км від центру міста, звідки відкривається вид на місто й Кентерберійський собор.

History The founder Sam Peel, who was born in Wymondham, was not a Birthright Quaker, but by Conviction who had started off as a Methodist. He was permissive and tolerant. His faith and life of service started on him seeing the extreme poverty of the seafolk in Wells during a visit in 1909, which he attributed to alcohol and the public houses being the only social meeting places. He campaigned against drink and extended the Meeting House. He constructed the first council houses in Wells-next-the-Sea, during World War I using the powers in the Housing of the Working Classes Act 1900. He was chair of the Norfolk Education Committee from 1943 until 1968. He steered through the Education Act 1944.

Alexandra Palace television station

The Alexandra Palace television station in North London (grid reference TQ297901) is the oldest television transmission site in the world. What was at the time called "high definition" (405-line), the world's first TV broadcasts on VHF were beamed from this mast from 1936 until the outbreak of World War II. It then lay dormant until it was used very successfully to foil the German Y-Gerät radio navigation system during the last stages of the Battle of Britain. After the war, it was reused for television until 1956, when it was superseded by the opening of the BBC's new main transmitting station for the London area at Crystal Palace. In 1982 Alexandra Palace became an active transmitting station again, with the opening of a relay transmitter to provide UHF television service to parts of North London poorly covered from Crystal Palace. The transmitter is owned and maintained by Arqiva. Channels listed by frequency Analogue radio (FM) Digital radio (DAB) Digital television Digital television replaced the analogue television signals during the digital switchover of April 2012-2013. However, only 3 of the 6 multiplexes are available: BBC A & B and Digital 3&4. BBC A launched on UHF 61 on 4 April on 2012, before moving to its final allocation of UHF 49 on 18 April, when BBC B and Digital 3&4 launched. As part of the 700 MHz clearance programme the UHF channel numbers were changed in March 2018. Analogue television Analogue television is no longer transmitted from Alexandra Palace. BBC Two was closed on UHF 64 on 4 April 2012, when ITV1 temporarily moved into its frequency. The remaining three analogue services closed down on 18 April 2012.

Alexandra Park, Hastings

Alexandra Park is a public park located in Hastings, East Sussex in England. Originally named St Andrews Gardens at its opening in 1864, it was then redesigned by Robert Marnock during 1877. The park grew in a series of increments and now occupies approximately 109 acres (0.44 km2) of the town. Its linear area stretches from the town centre out to residential areas. It was formally opened by the Prince and Princess of Wales on 26 June 1882, and named after the latter. During 1998, much of the lower portion of the park was closed and given to an ambitious storm drain project by Southern Water, which also involved tunnelling in several other areas throughout the town. At the close of the project, the park's lawns and entrances were returned to their original state as designed by Marnock. In April 2004, the park was officially reopened by Charlie Dimmock and the Mayor of Hastings after a large regeneration scheme costing £3.46m. Initial surveys suggest that park visitor numbers have dramatically increased since the completion of the scheme. The whole park is grade II listed Wildlife The park fauna consists of grey squirrels, Canada geese and mallard ducks as well as an array of different bird life. Facilities The park features several small water reservoirs that provide popular locations for leisure fishing within the town. The lower area of the park has several public facilities including a lake, war memorial, bowls green, information point, toilets, café, events areas, bandstand and adventure playground. There is a water thoroughfare all around the park linking the reservoirs. There is a 7+1⁄4 in (184 mm) gauge miniature railway at the northern end of the park. Events The park used to host the annual Hastings Beer and Music Festival, which takes place in July, but now takes place on The Oval showground. In addition, the open air bandstand is used for various band concerts throughout the summer months. Further up the park there is a Chalybeate Spring.

All Saints' Church, Babworth

All Saints' Church, is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England in Babworth, Nottinghamshire, England. History The church was built in the 15th century, and restored in 1860 and 1878. It is a small structure with a tower steeple with three old bells, (to which were added three newly cast bells in the late 1950s) and a clock, a nave, chancel and a porch. Most of the building dates from the 15th century, with several 18th-century memorials and 19th-century stained glass by Charles Eamer Kempe. The chancel and sanctuary contain furniture by Robert (Mousey) Thompson, featuring his trademark mouse carvings. In early spring the church is surrounded by a spectacular display of snowdrops, which the public is free to visit. According to Piercy, in 1295 the advowson of Babworth church was the property of Robert de Swillington, "who had free warren in Babworth". In 1365 after Swillington's death, it became the property of Sir Thomas de Grendon, who sold it to Sir William Trussbutt. Trussbutt is said to have presented it to the priory of Newstead, having first obtained the king's licence, and the licence of Sir Thomas de Saundby to do so. Newstead priory remained in possession of the church until 1531, until the prior of Newstead, John Blake, granted it and one acre of land to John Hercy, Esq. of Grove for the sum of fifteen pounds. In 1674 it became the property of the Wortleys, from whom it was purchased by John Simpson, Esq. Piercy describes the church favourably as "a small but handsome structure of stone, advantageously situated on a rising ground. It consists of tower steeple, with three bells, and clock, a nave and chancel uniform in their windows, height, and battlements, with a side aisle and vestry, and a handsome porch. The whole is of the later period of the Gothic architecture. The little burial plot which surrounds it, is considerably elevated, being connected with, or rather enclosed within the elegant pleasure grounds of the adjacent buildings; while the fine trees, aged and bowery, enhance materially the charming effect of the ivy-mantled tower." Richard Clyfton was instituted on 11 July 1586 to the rectory of All Saints'. He lost his position as rector of Babworth through deprivation on 7 June 1605. He joined the Separatist Scrooby Congregation before emigrating to Amsterdam. Clyfton is known for his connection with the Pilgrims – the early settlers of the Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts, USA. A street in Plymouth, Massachusetts, is named after him.
