Elm Park Mansions

Elm Park Mansions is a row of historic residential buildings in Chelsea, London, U.K. History The land belonged to Major Sloane Stanley by 1900. Around that time, Stanley leased it to the Metropolitan Industrial Dwellings Company, who built five-storey red-brick buildings along 26-60 Park Walk and called them Elm Park Mansions. In 1900, The Soldiers' and Sailors' Families Association rented twelve suites of rooms in Elm Park Mansions to accommodate officers' widows and unmarried daughters. The satirist and playboy William Donaldson lived at 139 Elm Park Mansions in the 1970s-1980s. References External links Official website
St James' Church, Norlands

St James' Church, Norlands, is a historic Grade II listed church in London, United Kingdom. It is affiliated with the Church of England. It was designed by architects Lewis Vulliamy and Robert Jewell Withers, and its construction was completed in 1845. The church was consecrated on 17 July of the same year. The church is built of white Suffolk bricks and is orientated east to west with the tower positioned south of the central bay. The entrance is through a porch, built into base of the tower, facing down Addison Avenue. The simple body of the church makes the three-stage tower, built in 1850, stand out. The first stage has gabled Buttresses with roll-moulded edges. The second stage has a clock-face set in on each side and is considerably shorter than any other stage. The final belfry stage has two deeply-recessed paired lancets flanked by single blind lancet panels. There is a drawing in Kensington Public Library which shows that the tower was designed to have been topped with a broach spire, however, this was never built, and the tower seems somewhat abrupt and unfinished without it, as the thin octagonal pinnacles on each corner stand out against the sky. Vulliamy's original design provided polygonal apsidal projections at the east and west ends, but these were never built. In 1876 the eastern end was extended by the architect, R. J. Withers. These extensions provide the present chancel, vestries and an organ chamber. The church is set in a small garden square, which is laid out in an informal style and is mainly two lawn areas with planting at the edges. The views are dominated by the mature chestnut and lime trees which surround the garden. These gardens are private and used by adjacent properties, and only open to the public occasionally. Organ and organists The church houses a historic pipe organ built in 1895 by James Jepson Binns of Bramley, Leeds. Originally installed in the organ chamber above the Lady Chapel, the instrument was moved to its current position in the west gallery of the church in 1921. Composer and singer Betty Roe was long-term organist at the church, and with her husband, the publisher John Bishop, contributed to the local music making there. Jane Parker-Smith was also organist for a time before she took up her 30-year appointment at Christuskirche in Knightsbridge. Present day The parish of "St. Clement with St. Mark, Notting Dale and St. James, Norlands" is part of the Archdeaconry of Middlesex in the Diocese of London. The church stands in the Liberal Catholic tradition of the Church of England. References
St Nicholas, Tooting Graveney

St Nicholas, Tooting Graveney, is a Church of England parish church in central Tooting, London, England. Dating in the Saxon period, the original was in use until 1814, when the congregation had exceeded the building's capacity. They elected to rebuild the church on a nearby site, construction of which was completed under prominent architect Thomas Witlam Atkinson in 1832-33. It has since been recognized as a grade II listed building, and continues to operate, with services every Sunday. History The church of St Nicholas has its origins in the Saxon period, and is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. The original building was extended and altered many times, but retained its round Saxon tower. By 1814 however, the congregation had exceeded its capacity, and it was decided to rebuild the church on a nearby site, which was achieved in 1832–33 under the architect Thomas Witlam Atkinson, while this new building was itself extended in the Victorian period. It has been a grade II listed building since 1955, and its archives are held by the London Metropolitan Archives. Present St Nicholas's continues to be an active local church, with services at 10:30 and 18:00 each Sunday.

St Michael & All Angels, Enfield

St Michael and All Angels is a grade II listed Church of England church at Chase Side, Enfield, London. Designed by Richard Herbert Carpenter in an imitation of a 14th-century Gothic style, the church was begun in 1873 as a chapel of ease to the parish church of St Andrew. The following year a shortage of funds brought construction to a halt, and the west end was closed off with a temporary wall. Built of ragstone, the church consists of a three-bay aisled nave, a north transept, and a vaulted apsidal chancel, arranged in a manner advocated by the Tractarian Movement. The temporary wall was finally replaced with a stone wall and a narthex in 1963. A parish was formed in 1931. References External links http://www.stmichaelsenfield.org.uk/

Tilty Abbey

Tilty Abbey (Tilteia) ist eine ehemalige Zisterzienserabtei rund 5 km nordwestlich von Great Dunmow in Essex in England und rund 200 m nördlich der Pfarrkirche von Tilty, an einem Zufluss des Flusses Chelmer. Geschichte Das Kloster wurde im Jahr 1153 von Maurice fitz Geoffrey als Tochterkloster von Warden Abbey, dem zweiten Tochterkloster von Rievaulx Abbey, aus der Filiation der Primarabtei Clairvaux gestiftet. Die Klostergebäude sollen unter dem zweiten Abt Simon (ca. 1188 bis 1214) errichtet worden sein. 1215 wurde die Abtei durch Truppen des Königs Johann Ohneland belagert; der anschließende Wiederaufbau soll fünf Jahre gedauert haben. Das Kloster war im Wollhandel nach Italien involviert. 1536 wurde es eingezogen und an die Familie der Marchioness von Dorset und Medeley übergeben. 1590 erhielt die Familie Maynard das Kloster, die es abbrechen ließ. Nunmehr gehört die Anlage der Familie Waring. Bauten und Anlage Die Pfarrkirche bezieht die frühere Pfortenkapelle aus dem 13. Jahrhundert und deren Chor aus dem 14. Jahrhundert ein. Auf der Südseite befindet sich eine Messingtafel für den Abt de Takeley aus dem Jahr 1475. Von der Klosteranlage sind noch Teile der Ostwand des Westbaus sichtbar. Die übrigen Teile des Klosters sind nicht über die Höhe des Bodens hinaus erhalten. Die gerade geschlossene, kreuzförmige Kirche entsprach mit ihrem siebenjochigen Mittelschiff und dem neunjochigen Kapitelsaal dem üblichen Schema von Zisterzienserklöstern, jedoch lag die Klausur im Norden der Kirche.

Abbaye de Tilty

L’abbaye de Tilty est une ancienne abbaye cistercienne située dans le village de Great Dunmow (dans le comté d'Essex), en Angleterre. Comme la plupart des abbayes britanniques, elle a été fermée par Henry VIII durant la campagne de dissolution des monastères. Histoire Fondation L'abbaye est fondée par Maurice FitzGerald (appelé aussi Maurice Fitz Geoffrey) et son suzerain, Robert de Ferrières, premier comte de Derby, en 1153, qui font venir douze moines et un abbé de l'abbaye de Warden. La charte de fondation est confirmée le 3 février 1199 par Richard Cœur de Lion. Moyen Âge La construction de l'abbaye commence le 16 mars 1188, et l'abbatiale est consacrée avant la fin de l'abbatiat de Simon, c'est-à-dire en 1214. Mais, le jour de Noël 1215, les soldats du Prince Jean envahissent, pillent et détruisent la toute nouvelle église, qui doit entièrement être rebâtie. La consécration de la seconde église abbatiale n'intervient donc qu'en 1221. Au XIVe siècle, l'abbaye est prospère et des plans sont formés pour agrandir encore l'église abbatiale. Ceux-ci ne sont cependant jamais réalisés, car le monastère est touché de plein fouet par la Peste noire en 1348. Liste des abbés connus de Tilty Dissolution du monastère Le 3 mars 1536, comme l'immense majorité des monastères britanniques, à la suite de la rupture entre Henry VIII et l'Église catholique, l'abbaye de Tilty est fermée lors de la campagne de dissolution des monastères. Elle est entièrement détruite en 1587. L'abbaye L'abbaye était située sur un affluent de la rivière Chelmer. Elle était organisée suivant le classique plan cistercien : cloître entouré de l'église abbatiale, des lieux de vie et du réfectoire. L'abbatiale mesurait 52 mètres de longueur et 27 mètres de largeur au transept. Les actuels propriétaires sont M. et Mme. Pedley.

Falmer railway station

Falmer railway station serves the Falmer suburb of the city of Brighton and Hove, in East Sussex, England. It lies on the East Coastway line, 3 miles 39 chains (3.49 miles, 5.61 km) from Brighton. The station is operated by Southern, which also operates all services. The station also serves the eastern suburbs of Woodingdean and Rottingdean, the University of Sussex campus, the University of Brighton's Falmer campus and the Falmer Stadium, home of Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.. History The original station was approximately 53 chains east of its present location and opened on 8 June 1846. It was moved to its present location, much closer to the village, on 1 August 1865 and was rebuilt in 1890. The buildings on the down (eastbound) platform date from this time, but modern replacements have been installed on the westbound side. Accident On 6 June 1851, a train derailed soon after departing for Lewes, resulting in the death of five people. After striking a sleeper, which had been placed on the track by trespassers, most of the train crashed down into the road below. Although the immediate cause was the striking of the sleeper, the official inquiry determined that the train had been travelling too fast: that if it had been travelling within the recommended speed limit, it would not have derailed. The inquiry also determined that operating the train with the engine going backwards reduced the driver's visibility. Services All services at Falmer are operated by Southern; the typical off-peak service in trains per hour (tph) is: 4 tph to Brighton 2 tph to Seaford 1 tph to Eastbourne (all stations) 1 tph to Ore, via Hastings (semi-fast). When Brighton & Hove Albion FC matches take place at the Falmer Stadium, additional matchday-only trains operate from the station to Brighton and Lewes. Most usual services are run with additional carriages and the platforms at the station have been extended to accommodate the longer trains. A queuing system is in operation in both directions after full-time at the stadium. References External links Train times and station information for Falmer railway station from National Rail
