It carries the A10 over the River Lea, the New River and the Hertford East branch line.

Kingston Maurward House

Kingston Maurward House is a large Grade I listed Georgian English country house set in a 750-acre (3 square km) estate in Dorset situated in the Frome valley two miles east of Dorchester. History There has been a manor house at Kingston since the late 14th century, replaced in the late 16th century with a manor house which is still in the grounds. The present mansion was built by George Pitt (1663-1735) of Stratfield Saye House, cousin of William Pitt the Elder, between 1717 and 1720 on the estate brought to him by his second wife Lora daughter of Audley Grey. The mansion was in red brick, but after derogatory comments from King George III, Pitt clad the house in Portland limestone. The building faces south, and has a projecting central section. The north facade is similar in design with the addition of a 20th-century porch. Much of the house is now used by Kingston Maurward College, though some of it is used for private functions. In 2016, the house was flooded after a pipe burst above the house's main hall. The consultants brought in to assess the damage discovered that the room had been redecorated and was designed to use white and stone to accent the mouldings. The discovery led to a restoration to its original form. Grounds and gardens The grounds of Kingston Maurward, which are used for the land-based college, are open to the public and include the farm areas and extensive gardens. Both the house and grounds are owned by Kingston Maurward College. Also in the grounds is Kingston Maurward Manor House, built in 1590, an earlier mansion which was narrowly saved from demolition when the estate was acquired. Following refurbishment it is a private residence. The gardens are Grade II* listed in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

Kingston Maurward House

Kingston Maurward House est une grande maison de campagne anglaise géorgienne classée Grade I, dans un domaine de 750 acres (3 km carrés) situé dans le Dorset, dans la vallée de Frome, à deux miles à l'est de Dorchester. Histoire Il y a un manoir à Kingston depuis la fin du XIVe siècle, remplacé à la fin du XVIe siècle par le manoir actuel, construit par George Pitt (1663-1735) de Stratfield Saye House, cousin de William Pitt l'Ancien, entre 1717 et 1720 sur le domaine que lui a apporté sa seconde épouse Lora, fille d'Audley Grey. Le manoir est en brique rouge, mais après des commentaires désobligeants du roi George III, Pitt recouvre la maison de calcaire de Portland. Le bâtiment est orienté au sud et possède une partie centrale en saillie. La façade nord est de conception similaire avec l'ajout d'un porche du XXe siècle. Une grande partie de la maison est maintenant utilisée par le Kingston Maurward College, bien qu'une partie soit utilisée pour des réceptions privées . En 2016, la maison est inondée après l'éclatement d'un tuyau au-dessus du hall principal de la maison. Les consultants mandatés pour évaluer les dégâts découvrent que la pièce avait été redécorée et conçue pour utiliser du blanc et de la pierre pour accentuer les moulures. La découverte conduit à une restauration à sa forme originale . Terrains et jardins Les terrains de Kingston Maurward, qui sont utilisés pour le collège terrestre, sont ouverts au public et comprennent les zones agricoles et les vastes jardins. La maison et le terrain appartiennent au Kingston Maurward College. Également sur le terrain se trouve le manoir de Kingston Maurward, construit en 1590, un ancien manoir qui a été sauvé de justesse de la démolition lors de l'acquisition du domaine. Après rénovation, c'est une résidence privée . Les jardins sont classés Grade II * dans le registre national des parcs et jardins historiques.

Kingston upon Hull College of Education was founded in 1913 as the "Hull Municipal Training College". The college had numerous name changes until September 1976 when it merged with the Hull College of Higher Education, which ultimately formed part of the University of Lincoln.

The college-trained teachers and educationalists for the city and beyond followed an ethos which was primarily set by Cyril Bibby, principal between 1959 and 1977. The college's first principal was Helen Todd.

Kinlet Hall

Kinlet Hall is an 18th-century, 33,609 square feet (3,122 m2) English country house at Kinlet, Shropshire, England, now occupied by an independent day and residential school. It is a Grade I listed building and its design was inspired by Villa Pisani, Montagnana. The manor of Kinlet was held by the Brampton and Cornwall families until it passed via his maternal ancestors to Humphrey Blount (of the Sodington Hall family), who was High Sheriff of Shropshire in 1461. It later passed to Rowland Lakyn (or Lacon), High Sheriff in 1571, through the female line and subsequently by the marriage of a Lacon daughter and heiress who married Sir William Childe. The old manor house was replaced in 1727–1729 by William Lacon Childe, who commissioned architect Francis Smith of Warwick to create the present Palladian style mansion. The brick-built, east-facing, three-storey, seven-bayed central block is flanked by single-storey wings and two smaller detached two-storey blocks; the block to the north originally housed stables and the block to the south the kitchens. The Childe family were resident at Kinlet Hall until the 20th century. During World War II, the house was occupied by the United States Army and afterwards acquired by Moffats Independent School. In June 2020, Kinlet Hall was placed for sale for £3.5 million. A Great Western Railway Hall class locomotive No. 4936 is named Kinlet Hall.
