Дърам Хаус

Дърам Хаус е историческата резиденция на Епископа на Дърам на улица Странд. Градините ѝ са слизали до река Темза. История Произход Епископ Томас Хатфийлд построил разкошния дворец Дърам Хаус около 1345. Той разполагал с огромен параклис и салон с висок таван, поддържан от мраморни колони. Откъм улица Странд портата водела към голям двор. Салонът и параклисът гледали към входа, а апартаментите били с лице към реката. Според сведения от това време Дърам Хаус е бил прекрасен дворец, подходящ за принц. Хенри IV, синът му Хенри, Принц на Уелс (по-късно става Хенри V) и тяхната свита са отсядали веднъж в резиденцията. Епохата на Тюдорите Дърам Хаус остава епископски дворец до момента, когато епископ Катбърт Танстъл го отстъпва на Хенри VIII, който в замяна обещава да обезщети епископа с други имоти, но така и не спазва това си обещание. На свой ред Хенри дарява двореца на дъщеря си Елизабет. По-късно синът на Хенри, Едуард потвърждава дарението, като по този начин лишава Танстъл от неговата епархия. Въпреки това, Мери отнема двореца от Елизабет и го връща на Танстъл, заедно с епархията му. Лейди Джейн Грей сключва брак в Дърам Хаус през май 1553 с Гилфорд Дъдли. След качването си престола, Елизабет си връща владението над Дърам Хаус и го запазва за себе си до 1583, когато го дава на Уолтър Роли. Роли харчи £2000 за ремонт и живее там до смъртта на Елизабет. Тогава Роли губи влиянието си в двора и епископ Тобайъс Матю предявява претенциите си към Дърам Хаус. Крал Джеймс I одобрява искането. Упадък Нито Матю, нито някой от следващите епископи живели в Дърам Хаус. В резултат дворецът западнал. Конюшните били разрушени за да се направи нов пазар. Най-запазената част от двореца била обитавана от Томас Ковънтри, 1-ви Барон Ковънтри, който умира там през 1640. Това, което останало от сградата, впоследствие е придобито от Филип Хърбърт, 5-и граф на Пемброук. Той го наема от епархията за £200 годишно и възнамерява да построи хубава къща на мястото, но така и не го прави. Вместо това, той направил улица Дърам, която минавала през старите останки надолу до реката и чийто горен край на улица Странд все още съществува. Последната част от останките е разчистена в началото на управлението на Джордж III. Вижте също Други имения на улица Странд: Йорк Хаус Съмърсет Хаус
Даремская школа

Даремская школа (англ. Durham School) — независимая частная школа в Дареме уровня паблик скул, старейшее учебное заведение города. Школа была основана в 1414 году английским прелатом Томасом Лэнгли, в то время — епископ Дарема. В 1541 году во время Тюдоровской секуляризации школа стала светской.

Durham University Observatory

Das Durham University Observatory (deutsch Observatorium der Universität Durham) ist ein Wetterobservatorium, das der University of Durham gehört und von ihr betrieben wird. Es handelt sich um ein denkmalgeschütztes Gebäude in Potters Bank, Durham. Es wurde 1839 ursprünglich als astronomisches und meteorologisches Observatorium von Temple Chevallier gegründet. Meteorologische Messungen wurden zu Beginn an durchgeführt, aufgrund der Notwendigkeit, mit der Lufttemperatur die Refraktion der Luft zu berechnen. Bis 1937, als sich das Observatorium ausschließlich der meteorologischen Aufzeichnung zuwandte. Der derzeitige Direktor des Observatoriums ist Professor Tim Burt von der Geographieabteilung, der auch Master des Hatfield College ist. Nach dem Radcliffe Observatory verfügt Durham über die längste ununterbrochene meteorologische Aufzeichnung aller Universitäten in Großbritannien. Die Aufzeichnungen stammen aus den 1840er Jahren. Hauptsächlich aufgrund der Arbeit von Gordon Manley bei der Erstellung von Temperaturaufzeichnung, die mit denjenigen von Oxford vergleichbar sind. Derzeit trägt das Observatorium durch automatisierte Aufzeichnungen zu den Prognosen des Met Office bei.

Durleigh reservoir

Durleigh reservoir at Durleigh in Somerset, England covers 80 acres (32 ha) and was formed in 1938 when Durleigh brook, a tributary of the River Parrett, was dammed. The reservoir's original purpose was to provide water for the newly built British Cellophane Factory in Bridgwater. It is used for coarse fishing, particularly carp, roach, bream, perch, tench and pike. The reservoir provides facilities for dinghy sailing, sailboarding and windsurfing through Durleigh Sailing Club. The wildlife includes several bird species including: ducks, great crested grebes, swans and geese. West Bower Manor (also known as Durleigh Manor), which stands on the shore of the reservoir, is all that remains of a large manorial property, the majority of which has been demolished. Parts of the building date from the 15th century though the core of the fabric may even be earlier, further parts were built in the 17th and 19th centuries. The principal surviving element from the Medieval manor is the gatehouse. This has been extensively restored, but is a good example of a former courtyard gatehouse with a pair of faceted turrets on either side of the former entrance passageway. References

Durrington High School

Durrington High School is a coeducational secondary school located in Worthing, West Sussex. The school operated as a high school between 1973 and 2015 as part of Worthing's three-tier provision. From September 2015 the school became a standard secondary for 11 – 16-year-olds. The school converted to academy status on 1 April 2014. History This senior school is the product of a merger in 1973 of two neighbouring schools, with their playing fields divided by a single white line: Worthing County Secondary School for Girls (Rodmell Road site) and Worthing Technical High School (Boulevard site). The County Secondary School for Girls moved to the new brick-built Rodmell Road building in 1953 from the Sussex Road school with Miss Lilian Belchamber continuing as the head mistress until the creation of Durrington High School in 1973. The Technical High moved to the Boulevard location in 1955 from Union Place Worthing and was renamed Worthing Technical High School (strictly speaking, it was renamed 'The Technical High School, Worthing' as it was a West Sussex institution rather than a Worthing one, and had a catchment area covering the whole of the West Sussex coastal area). The school building has been rebuilt and extended considerably with the Technical High building demolished during the mid-1990s and sections of the Rodmell Road building still standing and extended. In 2015, education provision in Worthing was reorganised into the standard two-tier provision, with Durrington increasing its roll by extending to take pupils in Year 7 who had previously attended the local middle schools. Campus The school shares a campus with Oak Grove College Special School. The building is purpose-built, offering facilities for all subjects, including science labs, technology suites and a music department. There is also a large field in which cricket pitches and goal posts are set up, and a MUGA (Multi Use Games Arena) for 6 a-side leagues etc. In addition a large Astro turf was built in 2015 the size of a full hockey pitch with 2 hockey goals and 4 goal posts that are rented out. In these constructions a new pavilion was built with a small canteen for year 7 and 8 pupils and 2 new changing rooms. Houses All pupils and staff are assigned to one of seven houses, named after modern saints: Acutis, Bakhita, Bernadette, John Paul II, Francis, Romero and Teresa.

Duxford Chapel

Duxford Chapel is a chapel that was once part of the Hospital of St. John, founded by William de Colville (d.1230) at Duxford, in Cambridgeshire, England. Though called Duxford Chapel, the building is situated between the villages of Duxford and Whittlesford, adjacent to Whittlesford Parkway railway station. Built in the 14th century, only the chapel survives today. It is a Grade II* listed building and scheduled ancient monument. The Chapel of the Hospital of St John the Baptist is a small rectangular chapel which mostly dates to around 1337 and was built using flint rubble for the walls and limestone for the doorways and windows. Some sections of the building, including a small part of the southern wall, are considered to date from its 13th century predecessor, which formed part of a hospital. The chapel is a single storey building. The main entrance is near the western end of the north wall. There are two similar doors in the south wall, one directly opposite the main entrance, the other (a priest's door) located towards the eastern end. The north wall is pierced by four windows, dated to circa 1330–1360, each containing a single light with tracery of trefoil design. The four windows on the southern side are of similar date and design, although each formerly contained two lights divided by a central mullion. Of these windows in the southern wall, the one nearest the altar (East) is flanked by a piscina and a sedilia. Facing the sedilia on the North side is a niche which is thought to be the location of the Easter Sepulchre. A plain aumbry sits in the East wall. In 1548 the chapel was suppressed during the dissolution of chantries in the reign of Edward VI and sometime after 1554 the chapel was used as a barn by the proprietors of the 16th century Red Lion Inn next door. The chapel was acquired and restored by the Ministry of Works between 1947 and 1954 and is now under the guardianship of English Heritage.

Dyrham Park

Dyrham Park je barokní zámek ve starobylé oboře u obce Dyrham na jihu hrabství Gloucestershire, Anglie. Dům obklopuje 1.1 km2 zahrad a parků. Západní průčelí v roce 1692 bylo upraveno hugenotským architektem, Samuelem Hauduroyem a východní přední strana v roce 1704 Williamem Talmanem, architektem ze Chatsworthu, pro Williama Blathwayta, který byl tajemníkem Viléma III. Oranžského. Pro Blathwaytovy královské styky a kvůli jeho vlivnému strýci, Thomasovi Povey, se Dyrham se stal přehlídkou holandských dekorativních umění. Sbírka obsahuje obrazy a nábytek. Blathwaytova rodina žila v domě až do roku 1956, kdy jej vláda zabavila. National Trust pozemky získal v roce 1961. Dům a zahrady jsou otevřeny pro veřejnost v určitých dnech, a pozemky jsou přístupné po celý rok. V parku jsou pořádány hudební koncerty, divadelní inscenace pod širým nebem, lovy velikonočních vajec a den moštování hrušek. Dyrham Park byl jedním z domů používaných pro filmování. V roce 1993 zde byl natáčen film Merchant Ivory, The Remains of the Day. Letecký pohled na Dyrham Park byl použit v úvodní sekvenci filmu Austrálie (2008). Dům byl použit pro venkovní a zahradní scény minisérie BBC Wives and Daughters (1999). V září 2010,v Dyrham Park BBC natáčelo scény pro seriál Doctor Who pro epizodu "Night Terrors".

Dyrham Park

Dyrham Park est un manoir baroque[réf. nécessaire] situé dans un très ancien parc à cerfs près du village de Dyrham, dans le South Gloucestershire, en Angleterre. En 2020, Dyrham Park était l'une des 93 maisons historiques identifiées par le National Trust comme ayant des liens avec les quatre cents ans de domination coloniale et le passé esclavagiste de la Grande-Bretagne. Dyrham Park a des liens avec la Virginie, la Barbade et la Jamaïque. Description La demeure est située sur un ensemble de jardins et d'espaces verts couvrant 1,1 km2 (soit 274 acres). La façade ouest de 1692 a été commandée à Samuel Hauduroy, l'architecte huguenot, et la façade est, datant de 1704, à William Talman, l'architecte de Chatsworth House, par William Blathwayt, alors Secrétaire à la guerre de Guillaume III. Du fait des relations de William Blathwayt avec la famille royale et de l'influence de son oncle, Thomas Povey, Dyrham devint une vitrine des arts décoratifs hollandais. La collection comprend des céramiques de Delft, des tableaux, et du mobilier. Au XVIIIe siècle ont été ajoutés des meubles de Gillow et Linnell. Les intérieurs ont été peu remaniés depuis leur décoration par William Blathwayt. La famille Blathwayt a vécu dans cette résidence jusqu'en 1956, date à laquelle le gouvernement l'a acquise. Le National Trust en est devenu propriétaire en 1961. Dyrham Park au cinéma et à la télévision Dans la mini-série Orgueil et Préjugés, adaptée en 1967 du roman de Jane Austen par la BBC, c'est Dyrham Park, qui est Pemberley, la résidence de Fitzwilliam Darcy. Dyrham Park est l'une des demeures utilisées pour le tournage du film de 1993, Les Vestiges du jour (les scènes d'intérieur étant tournées au Château de Powderham et Corsham Court). Une vue aérienne de Dyrham Park apparaît dans la séquence d'ouverture du film de 2008 Australia. La résidence a été utilisée pour les scènes d'extérieur et de jardins de la mini-série de la BBC sortie en 1999, Wives and Daughters, adaptée du roman d'Elizabeth Gaskell. En septembre 2010, la BBC a tourné à Dyrham Park des scènes de l'épisode Terreurs nocturnes de la saison 6 de Docteur Who. En 2019 le château incarne Sanditon house dans Bienvenue à Sanditon.
