Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, London (Willesden)

Shree Swaminarayan Temple Willesden is a Swaminarayan Mandir under the Nara-Narayan dicoese in the London suburb of Willesden. History In 1975, a disused church on Willesden Lane was bought and renovated. On the auspicious day of Sharad Purnima on 11 October 1975, Acharya Tejendraprasad Pande installed the murtis of Swaminarayan, Nara-Narayan Dev, Radha Krishna Dev, Hanuman and Ganesh. Renovation The church building could not accommodate the increasing numbers of satsangis over time. New activities had also been introduced such as Gujarati language classes, a library, and a picture framing service as well as other youth activities. An adjoining building was bought thinking that it would solve the problem, but even so this could not meet the needs. In 1986 a proposal was put forward to demolish the two existing buildings and in its place build a three temple story complex, which would combine the traditional Hindu Temple architecture and British designs. The ceremonial stone was laid on 12 October 1986. On 29 July 1988, Acharya Tejendraprasad Pande opened the new building. Activities The following activities are conducted by the temple. Gujarati School: A Gujarati language school runs in the temple premises. The school boasts 500 students and 60 volunteer teachers.

Shuckburgh Hall

Shuckburgh Hall is a privately owned country house mansion at Upper Shuckburgh, Warwickshire, near to Daventry in Northamptonshire. The estate has been the home of the Shuckburgh family since the 12th century. The house, which was granted Grade II* listed building status in January 1952, is not generally open to the public. The house has its origins in the 14th and 15th centuries but has been much altered and extended over many years. The main front, designed by Henry Edward Kendall Jr. in an Italianate style, was built on to the old house in 1844. Sir George Shuckburgh-Evelyn (1751–1804) placed an order with Jesse Ramsden for a telescope in 1781, and it was delivered ten years later. The telescope, known as the Shuckburgh telescope, was installed in his observatory at the hall and was moved after his death to the Royal Observatory, Greenwich in London by 1811. It was used there for over a century before being moved to the Science Museum, London, in 1927. He also ordered a clock from John Arnold & Son to use with the telescope at this observatory.

Shugborough Hall

Shugborough Hall è una storica residenza in stile georgiano e neoclassico situata nei pressi del villaggio inglese di Great Haywood, nell'area nota come Cannock Chase (Staffordshire): costruita a partire dal 1693 sulle rovine di un palazzo vescovile ed ampliata tra il XVIII e il XIX secolo, fu la dimora della famiglia Anson, conti di Lichfield, famiglia che annoverava tra i suoi componenti anche il celebre fotografo Patrick Anson, V conte di Lichfield (1933-2005). La tenuta, ora di proprietà del National Trust, è famosa anche per la cosiddetta "iscrizione di Shugborough. Storia Il palazzo originario, sulle cui ceneri è sorta Shugborough Hall, risaliva al XIV secolo ed era di proprietà dei vescovi di Lichfield. Nel 1640, la tenuta, della superficie di 8 acri, fu acquistata per la considerevole cifra di 1.000 sterline da un avvocato, tale William Anson. 53 dopo, un suo nipote omonimo fece costruire una casa di tre piani. Nel 1745, la casa fu trasformata in una residenza in stile georgiano dall'architetto Thomas Wright. In seguito, la proprietà venne ereditata da Thomas Anson (1695-1773),, fratello dell'ammiraglio George Anson: Thomas Anson fece ridisegnare gli interni secondo lo stile classico greco e romano. Tra il 1795 e il 1805, fu poi ridisegnato il parco circostante, ad opera dell'architetto John Webb. Al parco fu aggiunto un giardino formale nel 1855, progettato dall'architetto William Nesfield. Nel 1960, la tenuta di Shugborough fu donata al National Trust. Architettura Esterni The Ruin Tra gli edifici d'interesse nel parco che circonda la villa, figura The Ruin, realizzata su progetto di Thomas Wright intorno al 1750. Chinese House Altro edificio d'interesse del parco è la Chinese House, la casa cinese, un edificio completato nel 1747 e la cui costruzione si basa su alcuni schizzi fatto duranti un viaggio in Cina dell'ammiraglio George Anson. Torre dei Venti Altro edificio d'interesse della tenuta è la "Torre dei Venti": completata nel 1765, ospita un orologio ad acqua. Lo Shepherd's Monument e l'iscrizione di Shugborough Altro punto d'interesse è rappresentato dallo Shepherd's Monument ("Monumento del Pastore"), un'edicola dell'altezza di circa 6 metri, che Thomas Anson commissionò tra il 1748 e il 1763 allo scultore Peter Scheemakers. Sulla lastra inferiore di questo monumento campeggia l'iscrizione D.O.U.O.S.V.A.V.V.M., il cui oscuro significato è stato oggetto di studi da parte di personalità illustri quali lo scienziato Charles Darwin, lo scrittore Charles Dickens e il ceramista Josiah Wedgwood. Interni All'interno dell'edificio si trovano vari mobili nello stile Luigi XV e XVI. Alcune sale ospitano una mostra fotografica dedicata alle opere di Patrick, conte di Lichfield.

Dial House, Twickenham

Dial House, Twickenham is an 18th-century house next door to St Mary's Church, Twickenham. In about 1722, the tea merchant Thomas Twining (1675–1741) bought the property on the site, where he either rebuilt or converted and extended the buildings already there. The façade of the house has a sundial, dated 1726, which is possibly the year in which the new building was finished. Dial House remained in the Twining family for many years after Thomas's death: the last member of the family to live there was the botanical illustrator Elizabeth Twining (1805–1889), who resided there from 1866, after the death of her mother, until her own death in 1889. Subsequently the house was donated to the parish of Twickenham by her brother, Richard Twining, as a replacement for the existing vicarage, because the latter was in a condition of disrepair. Dial House has continued to belong to the Church of England: it is now used as the official residence and office of the Bishop of Kensington. References External links Twickenham Museum: Dial House
Sidgwick Site

The Sidgwick site is one of the largest sites of the University of Cambridge in Cambridge, England. It is home to several of the university's arts and humanities faculties. The site is named after the philosopher Henry Sidgwick, who studied at Cambridge in the 19th century. Overview and history The Sidgwick site is located on the western side of Cambridge city centre, near the Backs. The site is north of Sidgwick Avenue and south of West Road The site has its origins in plans drawn up by Casson and Conder in 1952 for making use of land to the west of the Cambridge city centre which was previously used as cricket grounds for Corpus Christi College. Much of the site's current architecture derives from these original plans. However, many faculty buildings, especially to the north of the site, have been designed by separate architects with little reference to the coherence of the site as a whole. In July 2002, the old faculty of English, a converted Victorian villa, was demolished, and a more practical building designed by Allies and Morrison to reflect the needs of the faculty was completed in 2004. The Alison Richard Building, completed in 2012 and designed by Nicholas Hare Architects, brings together a number of different research groups (interdisciplinary geographical centres), the new department of politics and international studies and the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities. On 29 October 2006, Education Not For Sale supporters at Cambridge University organised the first occupation in the UK in protest at the introduction of top-up fees on the Sidgwick site lecture hall, occupying it for 12 hours. In 2009, Cambridge Gaza Solidarity occupied three lecture theatres and the common area of the law faculty. On 22 February 2022, Cambridge Defend Education, a student-led campaign group, occupied a lecture block declaring support for the University and College Union strike. Cambridge Students' Union, although not directly involved in the occupation issued a statement in support of the action, declaring themselves opposed to the marketisation of education. Although less popular now, the site was formerly a thriving location with the local skateboarding community because of its undercover benches, numerous sets of stairs and L-shaped concrete banks. These features have since been amended to discourage skateboarding. Faculties on the Sidgwick site The following University of Cambridge faculty and department buildings are located on the site: Department of politics and international studies Faculties of modern and medieval languages and linguistics and philosophy Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern studies Faculty of classics with the Museum of Classical Archaeology Faculty of divinity Faculty of economics Faculty of history Faculty of law Faculty of music Faculty of English Facilities The site has two cafes: the Buttery and the ARC Café. The Cambridge University Islamic Society has a prayer room on the site, where it holds daily prayers.
