Lodge Hall

Lodge Hall, also known as Ingman Lodge, is a historic building in Selside, North Yorkshire, a village in England. The large farmhouse was built in 1687. At some point, its left chimneystack collapsed, and was rebuilt in a new position. The rebuilding destroyed evidence of an extension to the south, which may originally have been part of an earlier building on the site. It was grade II* listed in 1958, but it appears on the Heritage at Risk Register due to structural cracks and roof leaks. The house is built of limewashed stone, with painted stone dressings and a stone slate roof. It has three storeys and a T-shaped plan, with a front range of four bays, the right two bays projecting slightly with the corner curved. The doorway has a moulded surround flanked by halberds, and a decorated lintel. Above it is an initialled datestone, a corbelled round hood and a slate hood above. In the lower two floors are cross windows with hood moulds. In the top floor is a three-light stepped mullioned window with a stepped hood mould, and in the left bay upper two floors are vesica-shaped windows. On the curved corner are two-light mullioned and transomed windows turning the corner. The right bay contains a mullioned and transomed window in the lower two floors and a fixed light in the top floor. Some of the window bars retain the fixing wire from which the original, removable, panes of glass were hung. Inside, early kitchen and parlour fireplaces survive.

Kilnsey Old Hall

Kilnsey Old Hall is a historic building in Kilnsey, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. In the Mediaeval period, the site was owned by Fountains Abbey, who operated a grange there. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, it was sold to the Yorke family, who in the 17th century sold it to Christopher Wade. In 1648, he constructed a new house on the site, now the Old Hall. The Wade family sold the house in 1693, and by 1745 it had been let to a tenant. In about 1800, it was converted into a farm outbuilding, and in 1805 it was described as "fast becoming a ruin". However, it was reroofed, and survived, with cattle stalls added to the ground floor in the 20th century. In 1998, it was purchased and restored, partly funded through operational costs as a bed and breakfast. The building is built of limestone on a chamfered plinth, with gritstone dressings, quoins, and a stone slate roof, hipped on the right and with moulded gable coping and kneelers with vase finials elsewhere. There is an L-shaped plan, the main range with four bays, three storeys and an attic, reducing on a slope to two storeys and an attic, and a rear wing with three storeys and one bay. In the northeast front is a doorway with chamfered quoined jambs, a cart entrance with a segmental arch and a keystone, a doorway with moulded quoined jambs and an arched lintel with initials and the date, and a flight of external steps leading to a doorway with a chamfered quoined surround. Most of the windows are recessed, chamfered and mullioned. Inside, the first and second floors retain 17th century plasterwork and fireplaces, and there is a queen post roof. The building has been Grade II* listed since 1954. See also Grade II* listed buildings in North Yorkshire (district) Listed buildings in Conistone with Kilnsey References

She died on 19 February 1794, aged 17, and is buried in the south aisle. The marble slab, carved in London, and was subscribed by the many gypsies who converged from afar to express sympathy with their "king". The inscription is still faintly discernible: “In memory of Rose Boswell, daughter of Edward and Sarah Boswell, who died February 19th, 1794, aged 17 years. What grief can vent this loss, or praises tell, how much, how good, how beautiful she fell.” Clergy Robert Cawdrey, compiler of one of the first dictionaries of the English language, the Table Alphabeticall, became rector in 1571 but was deprived in 1587 for his puritan sympathies. Owen Gwyn, Master of St John's College, Cambridge from 1612 and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge 1615–16, was instituted Rector 28 October 1611, remaining in office until his death in 1633.

Pylewell Park

Pylewell Park is a country house and park near Lymington in Hampshire. The house is listed at grade II*. History A settlement on the site of Baddesley Manor, to the North of the current house, is mentioned in the Domesday Book. Sir Richard Worsley lived in Pylewell Ground in 1609. During the 17th century, Pylewell estate was fortified to Jacobean Lodge. From 1787 to 1801 Thomas Robbins bought the park and removed most of the formal gardens elements and introduced ornamental walks and informal schemes of parkland. Thomas Weld acquired the estate in 1801 for his third son, Joseph, as a wedding gift. Joseph, aged 25 years, actively dealt with all affairs of the estate up to 1828. He made extensive enhancements to the gardens and farms such as North Park improvements in 1818. Additionally, in 1822 the South Lake was constructed. More improvements continued including the avenue of southern Solent in additional to lay grounds in the formal garden and this occurred in the early eighteen century. By 1854, William Peers of Williams's Freeman started improving Weld's construction as well as the Pylewell grounds. A circular parterre was included in the house of the southeast as more land was bought in the school village of Baddesley. William Ingham Whitaker acquired the Pylewell estate in 1874. As soon as he acquired the estate, he added a new lodge and drive among other important changes to the house. After his death in 1893 his son William Ingham Whitaker, succeeded him and made more significant alterations. In 1903 he married and travelled to Japan. Accordingly, he developed the pleasure grounds with Australasian and Asian plant collections including bridges and a new lily pond. The East and West wings of the house, which had been added in the early 20th century, were demolished in 1951. The garden is separately listed at Grade II* in the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England. Ownership Pylewell Park is currently owned by a trust.

St Chad's Church, Bensham

St Chad's Church or Church of St Chad is an Anglican parish church in Bensham, Gateshead and a Grade II* listed building. It is a landmark visible from the East Coast Mainline and combines Arts and Crafts and late English Gothic revival architecture. History As of the 1890s, the area around Bensham was mostly rural before quickly urbanising at the turn of the 20th century with the building of Tyneside flats to house workers. Walter James MP provided land for a new church designed by architect William Searle Hicks. The reported cost was £26,000, expensive for the time; the project received funding from Emily Matilda Easton of Nest House and West Layton Manor, whose brothers James and Thomas ran Oakwellgate Colliery. His final design before his death in 1902, Searle Hicks was influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, which he blended with late English Gothic (Decorative and Perpendicular) in his design. Construction began in 1900, and St Chad's was consecrated in 1903. Apropos of its towering proportions, St Chad's earned the nickname "Cathedral for the Working People". The parish describes itself as "Liturgically and theologically influenced by the Oxford Movement" and liberal in outlook. It is a member of the Gateshead Deanery, part of Churches Together. In the 1990s, the west end of the nave was sectioned off to be used as a community centre in the form of a Child and Family Project, which had previously been housed in a different building on the site. The church underwent re-roofing repairs in 2016 and 2021. Features St Chad's identifying feature from afar is the octagonal tower in the middle of its cruciform, which lights up at night and can be viewed from the East Coast Mainline (ECML). The building was constructed using sandstone as well as green Westmorland slates for the roofing. The bespoke silverware on the altar was crafted by William Bainbridge Reynolds. St Chad's also features woodcarvings by Ralph Hedley. The stained glass windows are attributed to Caroline Townshend and Laurence Walker References
St John the Evangelist, Bierley

The Church of St John the Evangelist is a Grade II* listed church situated in what is now the City of Bradford, in Yorkshire, England. A private chapel was constructed here in 1766, which later became a chapel of ease of the Church of England, usually known as Bierley Chapel. That was a misnomer in the sense that it lay not in the Bierley township, but in neighbouring Bowling; the name came from the North Bierley estate to which it was originally attached. In the middle of the 19th century it became a parish church with the current name. History To the north of Bierley, it was built in 1766 by John Carr as an estate chapel for Richard Richardson (1708–1781) of Bierley Hall. It was consecrated in 1824. In 1828 and 1831 it was enlarged, when the north transept and a west porch were added. A parish was attached to it in 1864. It is now a Grade II* listed building. Chaplains to 1824 These included: 1767–c.1772 James Stillingfleet (1741–1826) c.1772–c.1781 M. Ollerenshaw From 1781, a number of chaplains (J. West and D. West, Dr. Bailey and his brother, William Wood of Tingley) 1787–c.1799 Thomas Wade 1799–1823 a number of chaplains (Balmforth, Booth, Gill, Morgan, Heslop, Grainger, Hollist, Barmby, Parkin, Johnson, Weddell, Clarkson and Beaumont). 1824–1867 Incumbents included: 1824 J.

St Gregory's Church, Dawlish

St Gregory’s Church, Dawlish is a Grade II* listed Church of England parish church in Dawlish, Devon. History The church retains a medieval tower, but the rest was rebuilt in 1824-24 under the supervision of architect Andrew Patey of Exeter. The church re-opened on 1 May 1825. In 1851 a daughter church St Mark's Church, Dawlish was opened in the town. Despite the later addition of galleries, the accommodation at St Gregory's was inadequate for a growing population, so the church closed for 18 months at the end of 1873 for enlargement. The transepts were enlarged and a chancel was erected 43 feet (13 m) long by 22 feet (6.7 m) wide with an aisle on the southern side of it. An organ chamber was added and a vestry on the northern side. The architect for these alterations was James Piers St Aubyn and the contractors were Diment and Stevens of Bristol. The cost of these alterations was in the region of £6,000 (equivalent to £598,600 in 2025). Organ On the rebuilding of the church in 1825 a new organ was provided, probably by Brooking of Exeter. This was replaced in 1888 by a new instrument by Lewis and opened on 7 February 1889. This instrument was later restored and enlarged again by Willis in 1951 and Eustace & Alldridge and now comprises 3 manuals and 42 stops. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. Bells The ring of eight bells in the key of F sharp comprises six dating from 1784 by John and Christopher Pennington and 2 from 1911 by Mears & Stainbank. The tenor weight is 594 kilograms (1,310 lb). Memorials Marble wall tablet to Francis Mary Hunter of Cavendish Square, London d.1803. Mourning woman, urn on pedestal. By John Flaxman.

St Mary's Church, Crathorne

St Mary's Church is a Catholic church in Crathorne, North Yorkshire, a village in England. Although some sources say that the church was built in 1777, a document from 1816 states that a different building was in use as the Catholic chapel at the time, having been converted from a cowhouse. The current building was constructed between 1820 and 1821, and is one of the earliest Catholic chapels in the region. A porch was added after World War II. The building is attached to the 18th-century former priest's house, which is now a private house. The building was restored in the mid-1960s, and was grade II* listed in 1966. The building is constructed of light red brick, with bracketed eaves, and a Welsh slate roof with stone gable coping. There is a single storey, and along the side are three windows with a roll-moulded surrounds and Tudor arched heads, and a sill band. The porch is to the southwest. Inside the church is Gothick decoration and fittings, a gallery at the west end, and box pews. The plasterwork is particularly rich, and is believed to have originally been painted in bright colours, and to have been created by Italian craftworkers.

All Saints' Church, Crathorne

All Saints' Church is an Anglican church in Crathorne, North Yorkshire, a village in England. There was a church on the site before the Norman Conquest, with some work done in the 12th century. It was entirely rebuilt in the 14th century, reusing some earlier fragments. The chancel was partly rebuilt and increased in height in 1844, while in 1888, the building was heavily restored by C. Hodgson Fowler, with a tower and porch added, and further work on the chancel and nave. Several Saxon stones were discovered when rebuilding the west wall, and almost all were reset into the interior walls, to display them. The building was grade II* listed in 1966.

He wanted to be buried in Caldecott with his parents. When he died in 1937 his body was embalmed, placed in a copper coffin, costing £400, and sent to England. He lay in the church so villagers could see him the night before he was buried. References
Rudby Hall

Rudby Hall, Skutterskelfe, North Yorkshire is a 17,377 sq ft (1,614.4 m2) country house dating from 1838. Its origins are older but the present building was built for the 10th Viscount Falkland and his wife by the architect Anthony Salvin. The house is Grade II* listed. History Lucius Cary, Viscount Falkland inherited the Rudby estate from his aunt, Elizabeth Cary, Lady Amherst in 1830. At that time, the house was called Leven Grove. In the same year, Falkland married Lady Amelia FitzClarence, an illegitimate daughter of William IV and his long-time mistress Dorothea Jordan. On the King's death in 1837, Amelia, with her brothers and sisters, was among the main beneficiaries of her father's will. The Falklands had already commissioned Anthony Salvin to build a new house on the site of the older mansion. The total cost was £16,000. The Falkland family retained ownership of the estate until the end of the 19th century. By this time the house had been renamed Skutterskelfe Hall. It was used subsequently as a family home, a billet during World War II, and the headquarters of a chemicals company. Since the early 21st century it has reverted to use as a home and an events venue, and has seen a further change of name to Rudby Hall. Its first guest was reputedly the singer Liam Gallagher, who described it as a "top gaff [with] nice people". The Hall and its ancillary cottages were sold in 2020. Architecture and description The architectural historian Jill Allibone considered the hall "a rather large, plain classical building", describing it as Salvin's first foray into the Italian villa style. The building is of two storeys and seven bays, and is constructed in sandstone ashlar. Pevsner notes the porch as a later addition. The hall is a Grade II* listed building. Its listing records the "lovingly restored high-quality Victorian decoration" of the interior. Various subsidiary structures on the estate have their own Grade II listings; the pump house, the gate lodge, and walls, gate piers and a balustrade in the gardens.

St Clement's Church, Ipswich

St Clement's Church, Ipswich, is a redundant church. The church is one of twelve medieval churches in Ipswich, six of which had been declared redundant by the 1970s. In the twenty-first century it was taken over by Ipswich Historic Churches Trust. The oldest parts of the church are fourteenth century, with additions from the fifteenth century, with substantial additions in the Tudor period to the tower and to the chancel in 1860 under the guidance of Frederick Barnes. For 500 years its congregation consisted primarily of the families of shipwrights, sailors, stevedores and merchants. Indeed, wool merchants funded the sixteenth century building of the tower. Notable people linked to St Clement's Thomas Eldred (1561–1624), an English merchant and mariner Thomas Cobbold (1708–1767), an English brewer Thomas Slade, an English naval architect buried in the churchyard, 1771 References 52.0539°N 1.1618°E﻿ / 52.0539; 1.1618
