Royal Naval Air Station Merryfield

Le Royal Naval Air Station Merryfield ou RNAS Merryfield, connu aussi sous le nom de HMS Heron II (ICAO : EGDY) est une station aérienne de la Royal Navy située à quelques kilomètres au nord-ouest d'Ilminster dans le Somerset. C'est une base active de la Fleet Air Arm servant complémentairement à la Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton se trouvant à proximité. Histoire Ouvert en 1942, l'aérodrome était utilisé à la fois par la Royal Air Force et l'United States Army Air Forces. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il a été principalement utilisé comme aérodrome de transport. Après la guerre, il a été fourni à la Royal Navy. En 1971, une partie de l'aérodrome a de nouveau été reprise par la Royal Navy pour être utilisée dans l'entraînement et les exercices d'hélicoptères d'assaut qui n'entreraient pas en conflit avec le trafic aérien sur les autres stations de la Marine. Merryfield fut bientôt soumis à la tradition navale en étant labellisé RNAS Merryfield (HMS Heron II) Aujourd'hui, le site reste sécurisé car il s'agit toujours d'un aérodrome opérationnel et d'une zone réglementée.

Iglesia de Santo Tomás (Preston)

La Iglesia de Santo Tomás se encuentra en Lancaster Road, Preston, Lancashire, Inglaterra. Históricamente ha sido una iglesia parroquial anglicana, y ahora es utilizada por la Iglesia de la Ciudad de Preston, una iglesia del AOG GB . La iglesia está registrada en la Lista del Patrimonio Nacional de Inglaterra como un edificio listado de Grado II. Historia Fue diseñada por John Latham y construida entre 1837 y 1839 a un costo de 4500 £.​ Cuando se construyó por primera vez, la iglesia tenía capacidad para 1100 personas. Está registrada en 1869 que cerca de la entrada de la iglesia había un banco con cortinas que fue ocupado por Edward Hermon, miembro del Parlamento local.​ Fue declarada redundante el 1 de noviembre de 1983. En mayo de 1987 estaba en uso «cívico, cultural o comunitario», y desde el 6 de febrero de 2001 se ha utilizado para «el culto de otras creencias cristianas».​ Desde 2014 fue la Iglesia Pentecostal Preston Elim.​ A partir de 2018 se convirtió en el Centro Santo Tomás, después de que fuera comprada y utilizada por la Iglesia de la Ciudad de Preston. Arquitectura Está construida en piedra arenisca con techos de pizarra, y es principalmente de estilo neorrománico (normando); todas las aberturas son redondas. La iglesia consta de una nave de seis tramos con un claristorio, naves laterales norte y sur, y un coro con un ábside de cinco lados, flanqueado por sacristías norte y sur. Encima del presbiterio hay una torre de tres plantas con una ventana a cada lado del piso intermedio y aberturas de campana de dos luces en la planta superior. Sobre la torre hay una aguja de brocha.​ En la parte inferior del frente oeste hay una ventana en un marco de estilo normando flanqueada por ventanas en dos niveles. Por encima de ésta hay una ventana de tres luces, y en el gablete hay un rosetón. Hay puertas a cada lado de la iglesia en la bahía occidental de los pasillos, la puerta norte está a dos aguas. Los otros tramos a lo largo de los lados de los pasillos y los tramos del claristorio están divididos por pilastras, y cada uno tiene una ventana. También hay una ventana a cada lado del ábside. Dentro de la iglesia, las arcadas descansan sobre columnas cilíndricas. El interior de la iglesia ha sido dividido por la inserción de un piso superior. Valoración La iglesia fue designada como edificio protegido de Grado II el 27 de septiembre de 1979. El grado II es el más bajo de los tres grados de la lista y se aplica a "edificios de importancia nacional y de interés especial".​ Hartwell y Pevsner en la serie Edificios de Inglaterra afirman que la iglesia «es realmente una criatura extraña», comentando que aunque es principalmente de estilo normando, la aguja de brocha no es una característica normanda, y que el sitio de la torre y el ábside poligonal, no son típicos del estilo normando.​ A. Hewitson, escribiendo en 1869, describió la iglesia como un «edificio pequeño, fuerte y de aspecto duro».​ Edificios listados en Preston, Lancashire Referencias Enlaces externos Fotografía de la iglesia de GENUKI

Previously a voluntary controlled Church of England school administered by the Diocese of Salisbury and Dorset County Council, the school converted to academy status under the Diocese of Salisbury in June 2014.

Cowley Academy

Cowley Academy (formally The Thomas Cowley High School) is a mixed secondary school with Academy status, in Donington, Lincolnshire, England. As of 1 September 2022, it is part of the South Lincolnshire Academy Trust. History Landowner Thomas Cowley by deed in 1701, and by will in 1711 and 1718, bequeathed his estate to endow an almshouse, and a charity school to teach twenty poor children to read English and write. A pupil of the Cowley's charity school was Matthew Flinders, who at age 12 then attended Horbling Grammar School where his father expected him to learn Latin. The free school established by Thomas Cowley evolved into a grammar school, with the Cowley charity providing significant funding. By 1858 the school, which was governed by a scheme approved by the Master of the Rolls, John Romilly, also provided for an upper girls' school, an elementary boys' and girls' school, and an infants school. The grammar school held 80 pupils, with an average attendance of 40. At the time a new scheme was proposed to develop the Girls' department with a yearly endowment of £25 to provide minor scholarships and accommodation for resident pupils, with the inclusion of teaching of the "art of cookery." The Grammar and Girls' Upper School were not exclusive to Donington, but were open to pupils from the whole county, with fees being £4 yearly for boys, and £3 for girls. The school covered 5 acres and included a residence for the masters and mistresses, a house for the headmaster, a recreation ground, cricket field, gymnasium, and playgrounds. In 1871 the Grammar school's football team entered the first ever edition of the FA Cup, but withdrew and did not complete a game. Grammar school status was held until 1949. A secondary modern school was then established in its place using the Thomas Cowley name, which in 1995 became a comprehensive secondary school. In September 2006 the comprehensive school was designated as specialist Technology College, and in September 2012 it converted to Academy status. Notable former pupils Donington Free School (est. 1718): Matthew Flinders – navigator and cartographer Donington Grammar School: Donald Bruce, Baron Bruce of Donington – soldier, businessman and politician Eric Houghton – footballer and manager Sarah Swift – founder of the Royal College of Nursing Mitchel Corrado – actor References External links Cowley Academy Official Website
