Calderstones House

Calderstones House, Calderstones Park, Liverpool, England, is a 19th-century mansion house which is now at the centre of a public park. The house was built in the Allerton suburb in 1828 for Joseph Need Walker, a lead shot manufacturer. It is a 'restrained neo-classical' ashlar mansion of three floors, with a separate and extensive stableyard and coach-house which was originally set in 93 acres (38 hectares) of parkland. In 1875, the house and estate were acquired by Charles MacIver, co-founder of Cunard Line, for £52,000. In 1902, the MacIver family bequeathed the estate to Liverpool Corporation, who transformed it into a public park. They soon acquired the adjoining estate of Harthill and established the current 126 acre (51 hectares) park. The Grade II listed building became the offices of the Liverpool Corporation's Parks and Gardens department, and in the 1940s part of the house was transformed into a self-contained flat for the Assistant Head Gardener. The 1940s also saw a neo art-deco open-air theatre constructed at the back of the house, designed by Sir Lancelot Keay. For most of the 20th century, the mansion housed a tea-room and café and was used for wedding receptions, parties and other functions. In the 1970s the house became council offices, and it remained in that use until 2012, when the council placed the house on the market. The Reader, a national charity centred around literature and shared reading, was given preferred bidder status in January 2013. They have a licence agreement to use the buildings for meetings, events and activities, and have a 125-year lease. In January 2017, The Reader began redevelopment work to restore the house, having secured funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Liverpool City Council and independent funders. The redevelopment was completed in Autumn 2019, when it reopened as The Reader's International Centre for Shared Reading—the world's first public building dedicated to literature and wellbeing. An outbuilding was converted into a children's attraction called the Storybarn, featuring an ice cream parlour. The redevelopment included the restoration and preservation of the Neolithic Calder Stones, which give the local area its name. The Calder Stones now form part of The Calderstones Story, an interactive, permanent exhibition at Calderstones House that tells 5,000 years of local history. References
Calderstones Park

Calderstones Park ist ein öffentlicher Park in Liverpool, Merseyside (Vereinigtes Königreich) mit einer Größe von 0,51 km². Im Park befinden sich Spielplätze, ein botanischer Garten und mehrere historisch bedeutsame Plätze. So ist der Park denn auch nach den Calderstones benannt worden, einer zerstörten Megalithanlage auf dem Parkgelände, die noch vor Stonehenge errichtet worden ist. Calderstones botanischer Garten ist im „Harthill-Anwesen“ untergebracht. Er bietet nahezu 4000 verschiedene Pflanzensorten, die aus allen Erdteilen von Kaufleuten und Reisenden zusammengetragen wurden. In der Mitte des Parks befinden sich ein See sowie eine Villa mit einem Besucher-Café und einem Spielplatz für Kinder. Geschichte Das Parkgelände gehörte ursprünglich zu dem Anwesen von Allerton. Um das Jahr 1726 wurde das spätere Parkgelände von seinem Eigentümer zur Begleichung von Schulden veräußert. So kam der Liverpooler Kaufmann Thomas Martin in den Besitz des Landes, der es wiederum an den Munitionsfabrikanten Joseph Need Walker veräußerte, der sich in der Stadt aus geschäftlichen Beweggründen niederlassen wollte. Walker erwarb das Gelände und das darauf befindliche, zur damaligen Zeit nur als „The Old House“ bezeichnete Farmgebäude im Jahre 1825. Das Haus wurde 1828 abgerissen, um Platz für das Calderstones House zu schaffen. 1875 wurde der Besitz für £52.000 an Charles MacIver verkauft. MacIver war ein bekannter Schiffsmagnat, der zusammen mit Samuel Cunard die British and North American Royal Steam Packet Company gründete, später bekannt unter dem Namen Cunard Line. MacIver zog sich 1874 aus dem Geschäft zurück und seine Söhne Henry und Charles übernahmen das Geschäft. Im Jahre 1902 verkaufte die Familie Calderstones für £43.000 an die Liverpool Corporation.

Wellington est un bourg du Somerset, en Angleterre, à 10 km au sud-ouest de Taunton. Elle compte 13 696 habitants. Wellington a donné son nom au duc de Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, vainqueur de la bataille de Waterloo. Un obélisque situé sur la colline surplombant Wellington a été érigé à sa mémoire. Le nom de Wellington est attesté dès 904 en vieil anglais sous la forme Weolingtun ou Welingtun, signifiant « village (tun) des Wēolling ». « Wēolling » désignant les gens de Wēolēah, c'est-à-dire ceux de la « clairière (lēah) sacrée (Wēo) ». La principale industrie de la ville fut longtemps la fabrication de laine, tenue notamment par la famille Fox. Aujourd'hui, l'industrie joue encore un rôle important dans l'économie avec la fabrication d'aérosols. Démographie La ville a une population de 13 696 habitants. Elle a connu une forte croissance dans les années 1970, lors de la réalisation de grands programmes immobiliers dans le sud de la ville. Cela est notamment dû à la proximité de la sortie 26 de l'autoroute M5. Éducation Wellington est le berceau d'une école privée, Wellington School, fondée en 1837.

Wellington (Somerset)

Wellington é uma pequena cidade industrial na área rural de Somerset, Inglaterra, situado a 7 milhas (11 km) a sudoeste de Taunton, no bairro Taunton Deane, perto da fronteira com Devon, que percorre as Blackdown Hills ao sul da cidade. A cidade tem uma população de 14.549, que inclui os moradores da freguesia de Wellington Without, e as aldeias de Tom e Tonedale. Conhecido como Weolingtun no período anglo-saxão, o seu nome mudou para Walintone pelo tempo de Domesday Book de 1086. Wellington se tornou uma cidade sob uma carta régia de 1215 e durante a Idade Média cresceu como um centro de comércio na estrada de Bristol a Exeter. A maior reconstrução ocorreu na sequência de um incêndio na cidade em 1731, após o que se tornou um centro para a tecelagens. Wellington deu seu nome ao primeiro Duque de Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, que é comemorado pelo Wellington Monument nas proximidades. O Grande Canal Ocidental chegou à cidade em 1835 e , em seguida, a Bristol and Exeter Railway em 1843. A própria estação ferroviária da cidade sobreviveu até 1964. Wellington estava em casa de Fox, Fowler e Companhia, que foi o último banco comercial autorizado a imprimir suas próprias notas de libras esterlinas na Inglaterra e no País de Gales. No século XX, ligações mais estreitas com Taunton significava que muitos dos moradores de Wellington comutavam para trabalho, e a M5 motorway habilitava viagens de carro a serem feitas com mais facilidade.

Site history Prior to the redevelopment of the site in the late 1980s, there had been a small depot on the site belonging to the Yorkshire Woollen District Transport Company of Dewsbury since the 1930s. In later years, it had been used to store de-licensed coaches during the winter but by the early 1980s, it had fallen into disrepair and out of use until it was offered for sale to the West Riding Omnibus Preservation Society (WROPS) for the storage of their collection of preserved buses and coaches. WROPS formed the West Riding Omnibus Museum Trust to purchase the building and used it until its condition deteriorated further when it was demolished and the current structure erected.

Christ Church, Albany Street

Christ Church Albany Street is a former church building in Albany Street, St Pancras, in the London Borough of Camden. Built to the designs of James Pennethorne, it was consecrated as an Anglican place of worship called Christ Church in 1837. It was an Antiochian Orthodox cathedral from 1989 to 2023 as St George's Cathedral. Description The building, designed by James Pennethorne, stands on the corner of Redhill Street (formerly Edward Street) and Albany Street. It is not strictly orientated, its ceremonial east end, with the altar, facing slightly west of north. It is rectangular in plan, and built of brick with stucco and stone dressings, its four corners emphasised by wide tower-like features, projecting slightly beyond the main lines of the walls. The architecture is broadly classical in style. A deep stucco entablature runs around the whole building, with a simple brick parapet above it. The windows are round-headed. There is a tower above the entrance, topped by an octagonal spire. The steeple is unusually small in comparison with the main body of the church. History Anglican church It was built as an Anglican church to serve the largely working class district of Cumberland Market. Consecrated on 13 July 1837, it established itself firmly within the high church Oxford Movement. Its first incumbent, William Dodsworth, previously of the Margaret Street Chapel, resigned on his conversion to Roman Catholicism. On the recommendation of the painter William Collins R.A, a copy of Raphael's Transfiguration by Thomas Brigstocke was purchased as an altarpiece. Alterations were made to the church between 1839 and 1843 by the architect R.C. Carpenter, and further changes, including the installation of an elaborate inlaid marble floor, were made in 1867 by William Butterfield. Christina Rossetti lived on Albany Street for a couple of years and attended the church. Her brother Dante Gabriel Rossetti produced a stained-glass window depicting the Sermon on the Mount for the church, a reproduction of one at All Saints Church, Selsley. A school grew up on Redhill Street near the church, called Christ Church Primary School. On 26 January 1950 the funeral service of George Orwell, was held at the church, as it was near to both Middlesex Hospital where he died and BBC Broadcasting House, where he worked. The church was designated a Grade II* listed building on 10 June 1954. In 1974, the Albany Consort, an early music group, was founded at the church. Orthodox cathedral In 1989 Christ Church ceased to be a place of Anglican worship (with its parish merged back into its daughter church of St Mary Magdalene Munster Square) and became St George's Cathedral. A new roof was built in 2000. In 2023, after more than 30 years, the church's poor state of maintenance led to it being permanently closed, with the seat of the Metropolitan Bishop moved to St George Orthodox Antiochan parish in Kensington. With St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate in the City of London it is one of two Antiochan churches in London. See also List of works by R. C. Carpenter References
Cathédrale Saint-Georges de Londres

La cathédrale Saint-Georges est une église orthodoxe d'Antioche située dans le district londonien de Camden. Elle se trouve sur Albany Street à St Pancras. Elle a été construite par Sir James Pennethorne, pour servir de lieu de culte au quartier en grande partie de la classe ouvrière de Cumberland Market. Consacrée comme une église anglicane en 1837 avec le nom de Christ Church (Église de Christ), elle s'est établie fermement dans le mouvement d'Oxford. Le clocher est exceptionnellement faible en comparaison avec le corps principal de l'église. Il n'y a presque pas de décoration à l'extérieur. Le 26 janvier 1950, l'église a accueilli les obsèques de George Orwell, car elle était située près de l'hôpital, où il mourut. En 1989, elle a cessé d'être un lieu de culte anglican et devint la cathédrale Saint George (Saint-Georges) affectée au culte orthodoxe d'Antioche. Un nouveau toit y a été construit en l'an 2000. Le 10 juin 1954, l'église a été classée "Grade II*" par l'English Heritage.
