Ragley Hall

Ragley Hall in the parish of Arrow in Warwickshire is a stately home, located south of Alcester and eight miles (13 km) west of Stratford-upon-Avon. It is the ancestral seat of the Seymour-Conway family, Marquesses of Hertford. Although open to the public in the past, in 2026 the house was only open for events such as weddings and as a film location; the park has a larger programme of public events. History The house was built by Edward Conway, 1st Earl of Conway (1623–1683) to the designs of William Hurlbert, with modifications by Robert Hooke and was completed after his death in 1683. The interior was subsequently modified on at least three occasions, to the designs of James Gibbs circa 1750–56; of James Wyatt circa 1778–83 and of William Tasker circa 1871–73. It became the home of Anne Conway and she was visited there by a number of notable people including Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Thomas Vaughan, Lilias Skene, Henry More, Elizabeth of Bohemia Christian Knorr von Rosenroth, the alchemist Ezekiel Foxcroft and his mother the philosopher Elizabeth Foxcroft. Franciscus Mercurius van Helmont was Anne's physician from 1671 until her death in 1679. The secondary seat of the Seymour-Conway family, Earls of Hertford, was Sudbourne Hall in Suffolk and their London townhouse was Hertford House. Financial instability of the Seymour family left the house threatened with demolition more than once. In 1912, following the death of Hugh Seymour, 6th Marquess of Hertford, the estate's trustees recommended that the house be demolished. However, during World War I and World War II, the house found use as a military hospital. Hugh Seymour, 8th Marquess of Hertford, who in 1940 inherited Ragley Hall from his uncle George Seymour, 7th Marquess of Hertford, fought to save it after the war. It was refurbished between 1956 and 1958, when it became one of the first stately homes opened to the public. In 1983, the painter Graham Rust completed a huge mural including pets, friends and family members which is known as "The Temptation" and is exhibited on the Southern staircase. Ragley was the site of the Jerwood Sculpture Park, opened in July 2004. The Park included works that won the Jerwood Sculpture Prizes, and the work of Dame Elisabeth Frink, among others. However, the site was closed in April 2012. Since 2017, the property has not been open to the general public but was available as a venue for events as of 2023. Maintenance of the park area is funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. In popular culture Ragley Hall has occasionally been used as a location for filming, including: the 1982 television version of The Scarlet Pimpernel; the fourth episode of the second series of the science fiction television series Doctor Who, titled "The Girl in the Fireplace", first broadcast in May 2006; and the first and fourth episodes of the fourth season of the Netflix series "The Crown". A news item adds that "Ragley also became the home of Lady Cremone in the BBC Two Drama Dancing on the Edge" in 2013.

C'est le siège ancestral de la famille Seymour-Conway, Marquis d'Hertford. Histoire La maison est construite par Edward Conway, 1er comte de Conway (1623–1683) selon les plans de William Hurlbert, avec des modifications de Robert Hooke et est achevée après sa mort en 1683. L'intérieur est ensuite modifié à au moins trois reprises, selon les plans de James Gibbs vers 1750–56 ; de James Wyatt vers 1778–83 et de William Tasker vers 1871–73.

Le siège secondaire de la famille Seymour-Conway, comtes de Hertford, est Sudbourne Hall dans le Suffolk et leur maison londonienne est Hertford House. L'instabilité financière de la famille Seymour menace la maison de démolition à plusieurs reprises. En 1912, après le décès de Hugh Seymour, 6e marquis d'Hertford, les administrateurs du domaine recommandent sa démolition. Cependant, pendant les Première et Seconde Guerres mondiales, la maison sert d'hôpital militaire. Hugh Seymour, 8e marquis d'Hertford, qui en 1940 hérite de Ragley Hall de son oncle George Seymour, 7e marquis d'Hertford, se bat pour le sauver après la guerre. Elle est rénovée entre 1956 et 1958, devenant alors l'une des premières demeures seigneuriales ouvertes au public. En 1983, le peintre Graham Rust (en) réalise une immense fresque murale comprenant des animaux de compagnie, des amis et des membres de la famille, connue sous le nom de « La Tentation » et exposée dans l'escalier sud. Depuis 2017, la propriété n'est plus ouverte au public, mais elle est devenue un lieu d'événements à partir de 2023. L'entretien du parc est financé par le Fonds du patrimoine de la Loterie nationale. Dans la culture populaire Ragley Hall a parfois servi de lieu de tournage, notamment pour la version télévisée de 1982 du Mouron Rouge, le quatrième épisode de la deuxième saison de la série de science-fiction Doctor Who, intitulé « La Fille dans la cheminée », diffusé pour la première fois en mai 2006 et les premier et quatrième épisodes de la quatrième saison de la série Netflix « The Crown ».

Railway Fields

Railway Fields is a Local Nature Reserve and a Site of Borough Importance for Nature Conservation, Grade I, in Harringay the London Borough of Haringey. About one hectare in area, it was a railway goods yard until 1967. The park also contains a pond which is most commonly the home of the Common frog and the Blue-tailed damselfly. Habitat, flora and fauna Much of the site is wooded with open birch woodland running along part of the boundary with the railway. Denser woodland and scrub occupies much of the rest of the site. There are areas of grassland and a small pond. At the centre of the reserve, a wooden cabin provides an office and a classroom. Over 200 species of wild flowers have been recorded. This includes the unique Haringey Knotweed (×Reyllopia conollyana) discovered in 1987, a cross between the Japanese knotweed and the Russian vine. More than sixty species of birds have been observed since Railway Fields opened. History The area that is now the Railway Fields nature reserve was established as a goods yard on the Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway in 1868. It seems likely that the main use of the goods yard was for coal. Just under 100 years later, in 1967, the yard was closed. In 1975 it was acquired by Haringey Council for a community centre for Haringey Social Services. In 1986 it was opened as a nature park and used as an educational nature reserve. In 1990 it was declared a statutory local nature reserve. The site is protected as public recreation space in perpetuity as a Fields in Trust Queen Elizabeth II field.

Railway Stell West

Railway Stell West is a Site of Special Scientific Interest in County Durham, England. The site consists of a length of ditch alongside the East Coast Main Line railway, 3 km east of the town of Newton Aycliffe. The area where the site is located was once a large wetland known as Bradbury, Mordon, and Preston Carrs, and the only remaining portion of it is the ditch next to the railroad. There are many different types of wetland habitats, from open water to tall herb communities. The eastern side of the ditch, which embanks the railway, is formed of railway ballast, over which a dry herb vegetation has developed. The western bank is relatively undisturbed and supports a richer assemblage, in which the locally scarce common meadow rue, Thalictrum flavum, is abundant. Where the ditch has been recently cleared, there are patches of open water, in which water crowfoot, Ranunculus aquatilis, water plantain, Alisma plantago-aquatica, and similar species are dominant; water violet, Hottonia palustris, which is at its northern limit in Britain at this site, is locally abundant. Around the open water, and in parts of the ditch that are silting-up, a tall fen vegetation occurs. A wide variety of species occur, including water horsetail, Equisetum fluviatile, celery-leaved crowfoot, Ranunculus sceleratus, sharp-flowered rush, Juncus acutiflorus, and great pond sedge, Carex riparia. Great spearwort, Ranunculus lingua, a rarity in north-east England, is still found, but a number of other uncommon species have been lost in recent years, among them narrow-leaved water-parsnip, Berula erecta, water dropwort, Oenanthe fistulosa, and fringed water-lily, Nymphoides peltata.

Rainbow Bridge, Oxford

Rainbow Bridge (formally High Bridge) is a curved footbridge over the River Cherwell in the University Parks, Oxford, England. The bridge is made of concrete with metal railings, in the shape of a rainbow, hence the name. The bridge was constructed in 1923–4, through a project for the unemployed. The bridge was financed by the University of Oxford, colleges at the University, and individual subscribers.

Raindale Mill

Raindale Mill is a reconstructed early 19th-century flour mill which was moved from Raindale Valley on the North York Moors to the grounds of York Castle Museum in the 1960s. History The mill was powered by a mill pond. This was connected to a mill race where it would hit the waterwheel in overshot of the wheel. The wheel is then connected by gear wheels to millstones that grind grain into flour. In 1915 the water that flowed to the mill pond dried up and so made the mill redundant. It was donated to York Castle Museum in 1935. It was brought to its current site in the 1950s and 60s. The mill was opened to the public in 1966. Restoration In 2010 the mill reopened with the aim to get it working again. In 2011 the mill has started its restoration to have it working again. References
Rainham Mark Grammar School

Rainham Mark Grammar School (anteriormente conocida como Gillingham Technical High School) es la única escuela selectiva mixta de gramática en el área de Medway, Kent, Inglaterra. Tiene un estatus de academia, junto con Twydall Primary School y Riverside Primary School. Historia En marzo de 2023, la directora ejecutiva Natasha Hurturdo anunció que Barker dejaría su puesto como directora de Rainham Mark Grammar School y que Emma Horstrup asumiría el cargo de directora interina hasta el nombramiento de un nuevo director. Agnes Hart fue nombrada nueva directora a partir del 31 de agosto de 2023.​ Formularios La escuela cuenta con ocho secciones en las que se clasifican los alumnos de 7º a 11º curso: Aylward, Brontë, Faraday, Newton, Pankhurst, Rutherford, Scott y Lovelace. Lovelace es la forma permanente más reciente de la escuela, con la primera admisión de alumnos en 2017. A cada casa se le asigna un color diferente, que lucen como un destello sobre el bolsillo de su americana. Son Aylward: azul real, Brontë: morado, Faraday: verde, Newton: rojo, Pankhurst: naranja, Rutherford: amarillo, Scott: azul claro y Lovelace: fucsia. En 2001, se introdujo temporalmente un séptimo curso solo para ese año de ingreso, llamado Pankhurst (en honor a la líder sufragista de los años 1900, Emmeline Pankhurst ). Esto se debió a un exceso masivo de inscripciones que provocó un aumento de admisiones ese año. Esto también ocurrió en 2006, 2013, 2014 y 2017. Anteriormente, el sexto año se dividía en formularios AH, con un formulario adicional 'P' para prefectos, pero esto se cambió en 2018 y los nombres de los formularios se alinearon con el sistema de casas en el resto de la escuela, junto con el formulario adicional del año 13 para prefectos. Incendio escolar de 2012 En la madrugada del 24 de febrero de 2012 se produjo un incendio que destruyó uno de los laboratorios científicos y dañó con el humo varias otras salas. Se cree que el incendio fue causado por un cableado eléctrico defectuoso.​ Referencias Enlaces externos Sitio web oficial edubase.gov.uk Bus services

History On 28 and 30 March 2017 the NASUWT teachers union began 14 days of discontinuous strike action. NASUWT representatives said the strike action was due to "unacceptable management practices by the employer toward teachers taking part in an ongoing national dispute over excessive workload". They added that management had "failed to attend meetings" to discuss the "intimidation being experienced by staff taking part in action short of strike action at the school". The school converted to an academy under Rainhill Learning Village in March 2017. More recently, the school has become part of the Stephenson Trust. It is the lead school in this academy trust. It is an oversubscribed high school. Every year the school received in excess of 600 applications for entry into Year 7.
