Furzton

Furzton is a district in south-west Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England and in the civil parish of Shenley Brook End The man-made Furzton Lake is a balancing lake that covers approximately half of the district. The district lies just north of Bletchley, and roughly 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Central Milton Keynes. History The housing in South Furzton was built sometime around the early to mid-1980s, with the Parkside/Favell Drive housing to the East coming first – development then moved West along Blackmoor Gate. The shops were constructed after 1984 – prior to this time, the nearest local shops were at Melrose Avenue, in Bletchley. Prior to the construction of North Furzton, the land on the northern side of the brook in the linear park was farmland – thus, residents of South Furzton had only a short walk to reach open countryside. When plans were announced for North Furzton, in particular the extension of Dulverton Drive to form the link between the two sides, residents' meetings were held in protest at what residents expected would be a significant increase in traffic. Most of the South Furzton housing was complete when the construction of the lake started. North Furzton housing and shops were built between 1990 and 2004. Furzton Lake Because of its clay soils and relatively flat topography, the designers of Milton Keynes had to make provision for flood control. A key element of this strategy is to restrain floodwater from reaching the River Great Ouse lest it create problems for downstream settlements, using balancing lakes and managed flood plains. Loughton Brook, which rises in Whaddon (just beyond Tattenhoe) and joins the Ouse at New Bradwell, is usually a very minor tributary, little more than a metre wide here. It has quite a large catchment area, added to by the hard surfaces of the surrounding developments. Built in the 1980s, and with an area of 70 acres (28 hectares), Furzton Lake is the first major balancing lake it encounters. The flood plain of the brook forms a linear park about 200 metres wide that runs through the district west to east. The lake and its surroundings provide an important local leisure facility. Church of the Servant King The Church of the Servant King, Furzton is an ecumenical church located in Furzton. The church forms part of the Watling Valley Ecumenical Partnership. The congregation of the church started meeting in a community house in the local area, led by a Church Army sister. As numbers grew, they moved first to the Meeting Place in South Furzton, then to Coldharbour School. The present church building was used from June 1992 onwards, with the official opening in September 1992. The building, on Dulverton Drive, is shared with the Ridgeway Community Centre. References

Churchill Gardens

Churchill Gardens is a large housing estate in the Pimlico area of Westminster, London. The estate was developed between 1946 and 1962 to a design by the architects Powell and Moya, replacing Victorian terraced houses extensively damaged during the Blitz. Comprising 1,600 homes in 32 blocks, the estate is notable as the only housing project completed under the ambitious Abercrombie Plan to redevelop the capital on more "efficient" lines. Tall slabs of between nine and eleven storeys are enclosed by seven storey blocks and interspersed with maisonettes and terraces. A pioneering example of mixed development, it acted as a model for many subsequent public housing projects, although few matched its size and even fewer achieved its architectural distinction or social diversity. Many of the estate's tall buildings are accessible using lifts leading directly onto the street, with a local lift serving all floors and an express lift serving only floors that are multiples of 3. The estate is also notable for its early and rare example of district heating in the UK, the Pimlico District Heating Undertaking. A glass-faced accumulator tower was built to collect the CHP by-product heat in hot water from the now-disused Battersea Power Station on the opposite side of the Thames, providing heat and hot water throughout the estate. The system was upgraded in 2006 to allow it to supply an additional 1,400 homes. Churchill Gardens was designated a conservation area in 1990, and in 1998 six blocks (Chaucer House, Coleridge House, Shelley House, Keats House, Gilbert House and Sullivan House) as well as the accumulator tower were Grade II listed. Between 2002 and 2019, the estate was managed by CityWest Homes, an arm's length management organisation (ALMO) of Westminster City Council. After the fire at Grenfell Tower in North Kensington killed 72 people, management was brought directly under Westminster City Council. Churchill Gardens formed the bulk of Churchill ward within the area under local administrative control by Westminster Council until the 2022 election, when the estate became part of Pimlico South ward. The landscape of the Churchill Gardens estate is Grade II listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. Several buildings within the estate listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England. Coleridge House, Chaucer House, Shelley House, Keats House, Gilbert House and Sullivan House are all individually listed Grade II. A pair of shelters outside the Chaucer House are listed Grade II. The accumulator tower and district heating workshop is also Grade II listed.

Churchmead School

Churchmead School is a co-educational Church of England voluntary aided secondary school that caters for 11- to 18-year-olds. It is located in Datchet, near Slough, England. The school's motto is "Believe to Achieve". The school has gained Specialist Arts College status. Churchmead was established as a secondary modern school for Buckinghamshire County Council, who, in the south of the county, operated a system of 11- to 18-year-old secondary schools, fed by 5–11 primary schools (or 5–7 infant schools and 7–11 junior schools). Changes to administrative county boundaries in 1974 led to the school transferring to Berkshire County Council, who operated it as a school within Slough's education system, by then modified for the change from primary to secondary education to take place at age 12 rather than 11. Further changes led to the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead becoming the Education Authority in 1998. The rest of the Windsor area of Windsor and Maidenhead uses a system with age 9–13 middle schools, leaving Churchmead as the only 11–18 school in its area of the borough. This in turn results in most students being drawn from Slough, which has resumed secondary education starting at age 11. Starting in September 2008, the four-house system that had been in existence since the school was founded, was scrapped for a three-house inter-year form system. Prefects The school maintains a prefect system, including a head boy, head girl, four deputy head boys, and four deputy head girls. School links Churchmead School is in co-operation with East Berkshire College. Sixth form students from both schools can study advanced level courses including media and photography at Churchmead.

Churchtown Farm

Churchtown Farm is a community nature reserve one mile south of Saltash, Cornwall, England. It is leased from Antony Estate and managed by Cornwall Wildlife Trust, and includes diverse habitats such as grassland, estuarine mudflats, wetland, woodland, disused quarries and hedgerows. Situated within the Tamar Valley AONB, and positioned between the rivers Tamar and Lynher as well as Forder Creek, the majority of the reserve is farmland. This includes hay meadows and arable fields. At 61 hectares, it is the third biggest reserve that the Cornwall Wildlife Trust owns. The land on the reserve is being farmed in a way which reflects traditional Cornish farming, benefiting wildlife in many ways. Historically, Churchtown Farm was farmed for dairy and arable production. From the 1960s, most of the fields were intensively managed, being re-seeded with highly productive rye grass mixtures maintained by regular applications of chemical fertilisers and heavy grazing. This intensive management has artificially increased the soil nutrients and encouraged pastures with a very limited range of plant species and little structural variation. In such a field there is little insect, animal or bird life. In an attempt to encourage wildlife back to the farm, Cornwall Wildlife Trust are using a number of less intensive management techniques aimed at reducing the soil nutrient levels and increasing the number of plant species. The two disused quarries in the reserve, Forder and Lowhill, were quarried in the 19th century for roadstone. Lowhill closed in 1915. Hornblende-rich dolerite was quarried for use in road construction. Both quarries are now County Geology Sites. Oystercatchers, Dunlins, Egrets, Avocets and Greenshank can all be seen on the mudflats.

Churnsike Lodge

Churnsike Lodge is an early Victorian hunting lodge situated in the parish of Greystead, west Northumberland, England. Constructed in 1850 by the Charlton family, descendants of the noted Border Reivers family of the English Middle March, the lodge formed part of the extensive Hesleyside estate, located some 10 miles from Hesleyside Hall itself. Consisting of the main house, stable block, hunting-dog kennels and gamekeepers bothy, when the property was acquired by the Chesters Estate in 1887 the 'Cairnsyke' estate consisted of several thousand acres of moorland, much of which was managed to support shooting of the formerly populous black grouse. Although much of this land has now reverted to fellside or has been otherwise managed as part of the commercial timber plantations of Kielder Forest, areas of heather moorland persist, dotted with remnants of the shooting butts. It is with reference to these fells that the 1887 sale catalogue described the estate as being the "Finest grouse moor in the Kingdom". Historically, the Lodge was home to the Irthing Head and Kielder hounds, regionally renowned and headed by the locally famed fox hunter William Dodd. Dodd, and his hounds, are repeatedly referenced in the traditional Northumbrian ballads of James Armstrong's 'Wanny Blossoms'. Having fallen into ruin by the 1980s, the property fell into the care of the Forestry Commission and was slated for demolition, as many properties in the area were, until being privately purchased. The former gamekeepers bothy now serves as a holiday-home. References External links Churnsike Lodge Media related to Churnsike Lodge at Wikimedia Commons
Churston Court

Churston Court is the manor house of the former manor of Churston Ferrers (anciently Cercetone (Domesday Book, 1086), Churecheton (Book of Fees, 13th c.), Churchstow, Churchton, Churchston, etc.), near Brixham in Devon and is a Grade II* listed building. Description Today, the building serves as a hotel known as the Churston Court Inn. It is located immediately to the west of the parish church of Churston Ferrers, also next to the former home farm, and about 1/2 mile south of the coastline at Elberry Cove, which intervening ground now forms part of Churston Golf Course. It retains its original staircases, stone windows, oak panelling and flagstone floors. The hotel has 19 en-suite rooms with four-poster beds and is said to be haunted by the ghost of a monk who appears in the old kitchen. There is a smugglers tunnel linking the inn to Elberry Cove, which lies about half a mile away. There is also rumoured to be a link tunnel running over 10 miles to Berry Pomeroy from the inn. These tunnels were driven more than 400 years ago, so the quality and stability of the passages are no longer known. It is not known if the mine workings under Warborough Road, Churston contain any linking passages to the old smugglers' tunnel due to the Warborough adits being untraceable or backfilled under the overgrown thicket. In a recent planning application regarding works at number 2 Warborough Road, it is documented that one of the deep shafts is capped underneath the property's garden. History Until 1967 the house was a seat of the Yarde family, later of their descendants the Yard-Buller family (in 1858 created Baron Churston) also seated at Lupton House, 1 mile due south in the same parish, a larger house. In 1850, when it was described as "lately...modernised (with)...tasteful grounds", John Yarde-Buller, 3rd Baronet (1799–1871) (after 1858 Baron Churston), whose paternal grandmother was Susanna Yarde (1740–1810), heiress of Churston, was using it as a residence for his eldest son, himself residing at the grander Lupton House. Agatha Christie was a regular visitor when the property was owned by Lord Churston. She donated a stained glass window to the parish church and is believed to have been inspired to write her 1923 murder mystery novel The Murder on the Links, about a murder on a golf course in Northern France, whilst a guest at Churston Court. Lord Churston sold the property in 1967, having sold the major part of the Lupton and Churston estates in 1960. Churston Court was purchased by a local hotelier, the owner of the Grand Hotel in nearby Torquay. Lord Churston moved to Guernsey, thus severing his ties with Churston Ferrers. Since its sale, various alterations have been made to the structure of the building, most notably an extension to the side and rear.

Chynhale

Chynhale is a hamlet 2 miles (3.2 km) north west of Helston, Cornwall, England, in the civil parish of Sithney. Chynale Methodist Church was built of granite in 1879 to the design of Redruth-based architect, James Hicks. It is Grade II listed. The entrance gates, pillars and flanking walls are separately listed. The gates were cast at the Tuckingmill Foundry. The church building is closed for worship. The final church service was announced for Easter Sunday 2015. In 2022, a proposal was made to remove the church's Sweetland organ and relocate it in St Mark’s Anglican Church, Florence, Italy. In 1911 at a public meeting presided over by the chairman of Sithney parish council it was stated that 82 children were on the roll for Chynhale School and it had capacity for 132, but the County Education Committee had decided it was to be closed.
