St Michael the Archangel, Llanyblodwel

St Michael the Archangel is a Grade I listed church in Llanyblodwel, in Shropshire, England. It has a spire of unusual shape and was designed in 1847–1856 by the vicar, John Parker. John Parker The Grade I listed church was designed and rebuilt from a medieval church in stages between 1847 and 1853 by the vicar, John Parker (vicar 1845–60). He designed the porches, ceilings, windows and reredos. The idiosyncratic almost detached steeple was designed and added 1855-6 by the same vicar, who also designed and built the two nearby listed buildings comprising the school house and schoolmaster's house (at one time used as the post office). Interior The 15th century rood screen is carved with vines and animals. Parker covered the walls with large scripture quotations. A double-decker pulpit was installed. The church contains a memorial to Elias Owen (1833–1899), the Welsh antiquarian and author of "Welsh Folklore", published in 1887, who was incumbent at the church from 1892 until his death, and a number of monuments to the Tanat and Bridgeman families. There is also a First World War memorial in the form of a stained glass window, depicting a soldier presenting his sword to Christ, by William Pearce Ltd of Birmingham, with an associated brass plaque below. South porch Two fragments of a 14th-century grave stone are attached to the inner wall of the porch depicting a coursing hare and Lombardic lettering possibly relating to the legend of Melangell, which some antiquaries have tried to connect with the hare iconography seen at Pennant Melangell, which once received the tithes of the township of Bryn. Steeple The steeple was built after and slightly apart from the church and linked to it by, effectively, a corridor. It is of octagonal cross section with a spire of curved circular arc outline to the apex – a domical vault – a shape that Parker was convinced would be stronger than the usual hollow spire construction where the thickness of the straight sides diminishes towards the apex. The height is 104 ft (tower 57 ft and spire 47 ft). The radius of the arc forming the curved spire is 247 ft. The tower was apparently modelled on that of Freiburg Minster in Germany. Later Victorian obliteration Later in the Victorian period Parker's decorations were obliterated with wall wash and the double-decker pulpit removed. Restoration In 1960 the late Victorian restoration was partly reversed, revealing some of the old decoration and restoring much of the rest. Churchyard The churchyard contains the war graves of three British soldiers of World War I. In addition to the former vicars John Parker and Elias Owen, the Victorian composer and conductor Henry David Leslie (1822-1896) is also buried in the churchyard.

It was founded by the charitable trust Tauheedul Islam Faith, Education and Community Trust (now known as Star Academies). It serves as the flagship school of the trust. History The school opened as an independent school in September 1984 with six teachers and 96 students. The school stated that its first building was "very old" at the time. In 2005, the school became the first Muslim state school in the North West. It had previously been an independent school. The school has been a success in school league tables, with 82% of pupils gaining five or more GCSEs at grade C or above in 2007, compared to the national average of 46.7%.

Student dress and personal behaviour As of September 2013 10% of the school's sixth form students wear niqabs. In the same month, the Sunday Times published a headline stating that girls were forced to wear hijabs outside of school. In response, Mufti Hamid Patel, the principal, said that "It is totally incorrect to say that pupils are 'forced' to wear hijab outside of school." On 17 August 2014, the Sunday Times published an article describing a 'remarkable transformation at the Tauheedul Islam Girls School' and listed a number of changes the school had made. These included stricter vetting policies for external speakers, girls no longer being required to wear hijabs, and inviting a range of speakers from all faiths to address its pupils. Awards and nominations In January 2014, the school was nominated for the Services to Education award at the British Muslim Awards.

Preston Central Methodist Church is in Lune Street, Preston, Lancashire, England. It is an active Methodist church in the Preston Ribble Methodist Circuit, and the Lancashire district. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History The church was built in 1817 as a Wesleyan Methodist chapel. It cost £6,000, and was one of the first public buildings in the country to be lit by gas. It was remodelled in 1862–63 by Poulton and Woodman. In the 1990s a hall in the church was converted into sleeping accommodation for the poor and homeless, and the entrance area was enlarged, allowing for the creation of a coffee shop, kitchen, crèche, and toilets. Improvements were made in the access to the front of the church in 2006. Architecture Exterior The church is built in brick, with a front of sandstone ashlar and a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan, is in two storeys, and is sited at right angles to the street. The symmetrical entrance front faces east and contains a giant round-headed arch carried on two pairs of Corinthian columns. The surround of the arch is moulded, and above it is a moulded dentilled gable. At the top of the columns are moulded cornices, which are carried out over the lateral bays. These bays contain two round-headed windows with imposts and keystones, one in each storey. The lower windows are partly blocked with notice boards, and the upper windows contain circular geometric glazing. Under the arch, steps lead up to a recessed porch with doorways and a Venetian window. Along the sides of the church are two tiers of round-headed windows. At the rear of the church is a two-storey extension with gabled porches and round-headed doorways with fanlights. Interior Inside the church is a horseshoe-shaped gallery carried on thin cast iron columns with Ionic caps, and with a foliated balustrade. The ceiling is coffered with glazed panels in the centre.

Foundry Wood

Foundry Wood is a small triangular woodland located in Leamington Spa, England. Proposals to turn the wild woodland area to a usable public space began in 2011 as part of a larger scheme to re-develop the surrounding area, following the demolition of the nearby Ford Motor Company foundry. Work began in March 2012, spearheaded by a community interest company named ARC (Achieving Results in Communities) and the woodland opened to the public in summer 2013. As well as wheelchair accessible paths being laid out there is a compost toilet, a newly created wildlife pond and an outdoor classroom for education and conservation purposes on the site. There are regular events held at the woods including art and craft sessions, nature talks, music gigs and environmental themed films. The 2-acre (0.81 ha) wood is between two railway lines (the Chiltern Main Line and the Manchester to Bournemouth line) and is now maintained by ARC and a voluntary organisation Friends of Foundry Wood. At present there are no set opening times for the woods as the one exit and entrance is opened by volunteers, although it is open most days and times can be found on the website. In 2017 the wood was given a Green Flag Community Award which it has been awarded each year since. External links The Foundry Wood webpage References

Nottinghamians

Nottinghamians RFC is a rugby union club that plays in Holme Pierrepont in Nottingham, England. The club started out as Old Nottinghamians, a club for former pupils of Nottingham High School. The club's ground, on Adbolton Lane next to the National Watersports Centre, is still owned by the Old Nottinghamians Sports Club. In the summer the ground is used by Nottingham Cricket Club. Since 1971, the club has been known simply as "Nottinghamians", and it is no longer a requirement that members should be old boys of the High School. As of 2025, Nottinghamians RFC currently runs one men's open age side. Owing to the connections with the High School it was never deemed appropriate for the club to run junior sides. The first XV plays in the Midlands Division of the RFU league structure and as of the 2025/26 season play in Midlands 3 East (North-West). Currently, a number of Nottinghamians players also play for Nottingham Outlaws rugby league club. They also have a number of students from the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University as well as some old boys from the High School.

Odessa Wharf

Odessa Wharf is an early 19th-century warehouse located on the south bank of the River Thames at Rotherhithe, London. The warehouse has been converted into apartments and townhouses, some of which are operated as holiday lets by Odessa Club Management with the remainder as private residences. It is situated directly on the Thames Path national trail, north of Greenland Dock, with distinctive timber box "lanterns" on its roof. History Seventeenth-century maps show that the site had been part of a shipyard from at least 1660 to the north of what is now Greenland Dock (formerly Howland Great Wet Dock). John Randall had taken a lease from the 4th Duke of Bedford in 1760, constructing Randall and Brent's yard alongside the Dock, where some of the largest East Indiamen and warships of the time were built in a private yard. By 1813, maps of the yard show a building in the present location of Odessa Wharf. One of the original lintels at Odessa Wharf has been inscribed with the date 1810, which would make it one of the oldest surviving buildings on the Rotherhithe peninsula. Views of the Howland Great Dock from the 18th Century show that adjacent to Odessa Wharf, on the opposite side of Randall's Rents, were a series of sawpits, some of which have structures which look like mould lofts, used to store the moulds for forming ships. The age, location, orientation to the pits and its long, thin building form suggest that this may well have been the original use of the building. By 1868, Ordnance Survey maps indicate that the building had been incorporated into a large building, thought to be a granary, on the site now occupied by New Caledonian Wharf. By 1914 the form of the building plan, as shown on historic maps, had changed little, although it went through a series of name changes over time. Odessa Wharf was converted in 1999 by a Danish developer into design led luxury apartments, with a communal suite and river terrace at high level directly over the Thames looking towards Canary Wharf. The design by Fletcher Priest Architects and Torben Rix Arkitekt won a RIBA Housing Design Award in 2000. The award judges commented that the conversion, "Shines out like a good deed in a generally naughty Thames-side world."
