Kennaway House

Kennaway House is a Regency town house in Sidmouth, East Devon, which was formerly known as Fort House and Church House. It is a Grade II* listed building. Fort House was built about 1805 and soon came into the ownership of the Kennaway family of Escot House near Ottery St Mary. The Kennaways resettled at Escot after 1838. By the end of the 19th century the house was in use as a lodging house. Richard Hatton Wood bought it in 1905 and on 6 July 1906 the house was transferred by deed to a newly created Church House Trust. Although not legally connected to the neighbouring Church of St. Giles & St. Nicholas, the building became Church House and its Trustees were given the express duty of using the house: “for such purposes only as Church House may properly be used. For.. promoting...any work in support of or for the benefit or in connection with the Church of England including Home and Foreign Missions or for Sunday schools, Bible Classes, Church Lads Brigade, Lectures, Mothers’ Meetings, Sacred Concerts, Choir Practices, Parish Clubs or Societies.” The same deeds also specifically prohibited certain activities deemed unsuitable: “not dancing or such like and not antagonistic to or inconsistent with the continuance of well-being of the Church of England..” The house gradually fell into disrepair until by 2001 parts of it were dangerous and its future uncertain. A campaign was launched, led by Dr Michael James, to raise funds of £1 million needed for restoration. National Lottery funding was obtained in 2006 to cover half the cost and grants made by the Town, District and County Councils and a number of private foundations. The Friends of Kennaway House raised over £100,000 in local fund-raising events. Restoration began in 2008 and the house was renamed Kennaway House after a public ballot in the local newspaper The Sidmouth Herald. It was reopened on 4 July 2009 by Hugo Swire, member of parliament for East Devon as a gallery and arts centre and a facility for private and community events. It is licensed for civil weddings and partnerships. It is owned and managed by the Kennaway House Trust, which is a registered charity no. 1122667. References

Kensington Court Gardens

Kensington Court Gardens is a late Victorian mansion block, completed in 1889, near to Kensington Palace and Gardens. It was the erstwhile residence of T. S. Eliot. History The location of today's Kensington Court Place was formerly part of the Vallotton estate, dating back to the late 18th century. Kensington Court Place was originally known as Charles Street and renamed in 1908. The eastern side of Charles Street was the former site of open grounds, known as The Paddock. It was the home of the Kensington Lawn Tennis Club prior to being bought by local surveyor, Albert James Barker for building development in 1886. The mansion block, Kensington Court Gardens is believed to be designed by Henry W. Peck and built by Frederick Moir of Moir, Wallis and Company in 1887–9 in association with Albert Barker. Albert Barker was responsible for a large amount of the building development around Thackeray Street, Ansdell Street and Kensington Court Place and was responsible for much of the street layout that we see today. The Times first advertised flats for Kensington Court Gardens in January 1889 at between £195 and £250 per annum. Kensington Court Gardens first appears in the London Directory in 1889, listed with Moir Wallis & Co. Builders, with building works not completed. The first residents appear in the 1890 Directory, with flat No.1 again, with Moir Wallis & Co. During the 1890s, a number of residents were retired military men. The 1891 census shows residents General Alexander Silver, Lieutenant-Colonel Arnold Knight and Major-General James Black. The 1901 census and Royal Blue Book show other notable residents, including the builder Frederick Moir at No.7 and publisher Herbert Doubleday at No.9. Doubleday was responsible for the publishing of the Victoria History of the Counties of England and The Complete Peerage. Flat No.1 Kensington Court Gardens was originally the home of the building caretaker, listed in the 1891 census as Mr Charles Hall with his wife Emily. The 1901 census shows No.1 as the home of James E. Raybould, Hall Porter, with his wife Elizabeth. Other notable residents include the Kopman family, who amassed their fortune from property development and investment banking. T. S. Eliot It is most famously the residence of poet, critic and playwright, T. S. Eliot who moved to No.3 Kensington Court Gardens in 1957, after his secret marriage to his secretary from Faber and Faber, (Esmé) Valerie Eliot on 10 January 1957. The marriage was criticised not only because it was kept a secret from all but her parents, but at the time Eliot was 68 and Valerie only 30 years old. Despite the criticism and the age difference, it appears to have been the happiest time of Eliot's life, the Oxford Dictionary of Biography stating he "attained a degree of contentedness that had eluded him all his life". Eliot's health was already in decline and he died in the flat only eight years later, on 4 January 1965. His widow lived at the flat until her death in 2012. She was editor and custodian of his correspondence, only recently published (in three volumes, 1996, 2009, and 2012). References
Kensington Preparatory School

Kensington Preparatory School is a private day school for girls aged 4–11 in Fulham, London, England. Despite its name, the school is not located in Kensington although it was founded there. It moved from Kensington to Fulham in 1997. Entry at all levels is by assessment. History Kensington Prep School traces its history to Chelsea High School, the first school founded by the Girls' Public Day School Company (now the Girls' Day School Trust). It opened in January 1873 at Smith Street in Chelsea with 20 girls under headmistress Miss Porter. In 1879 it moved to Cromwell Road in Kensington and was accordingly renamed Kensington High School. The original Chelsea High School continued functioning until 1894. In 1888 Kensington High moved once more to Lytham House, also in Kensington, but the building was destroyed by a bomb in 1941. The school was relocated to Phillimore Gardens as a temporary measure for the duration of World War II while the management searched for a better location. In the end, the senior school was closed several years after the War ended while the junior school remained open and became Kensington Prep.

Kensington Roof Gardens

The Roof Gardens (formerly known as Kensington Roof Gardens) is a private roof garden covering 6,000 square metres (65,000 sq ft) on top of the former Derry & Toms building on Kensington High Street in west London. Originally opened in 1938, the gardens were open to the public until January 2018 when the leaseholder, Virgin Limited Edition, was unable to reach an agreement with the freeholder about renewal of the lease. As of 2026, the site hosts a private member's club/night club. History Derry and Toms new Art Deco department store was opened in 1933. The gardens were laid out between 1936 and 1938 by Ralph Hancock, a landscape architect who had just created the "Gardens of the Nations" on the 11th floor of the RCA Building in New York, on the instructions of Trevor Bowen (then vice-president of Barkers, the department store giant that owned the site and constructed the building). They cost £25,000 to create and visitors were charged 1 shilling to enter. Money raised was donated to local hospitals and £120,000 was raised during the next 30 years. The building housed the department store Derry and Toms until 1973, and then Biba until 1975. In 1978, the garden's Art Deco tea pavilion was redeveloped into a Régine's nightclub, in 1981 Virgin Limited Edition bought the lease to the roof garden and the pavilion, and in 2001 Virgin turned the pavilion into the Babylon restaurant. The more than 100 trees in the garden were given a tree preservation order by Kensington & Chelsea council in 1976, the roof garden buildings were Grade II* listed by English Heritage in 1981 as part of a listing given the whole building, and the garden itself was given a Grade II listing in 1998 within the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. Virgin ceased its operation of the Roof Gardens in January 2018 and the site was closed to the public. Stephen Fitzpatrick, founder of OVO Energy and Vertical Aerospace, acquired the site in 2021 and planned to re-open The Roof Gardens as a three-storey social club in 2024. The Roof Gardens reopened in 2024 as an exclusive private member's club. The gardens It is divided into three themed gardens: a Spanish garden, in a Moorish style based upon the Alhambra in Spain, with fountains, vine-covered walkways and Chusan palms; a Tudor style garden, characterised by its archways, secret corners and hanging wisteria. Roses, lilies and lavender contribute the rich summer scent to the garden; an English water garden, with over 100 species of trees, a stream, and a garden pond that is the home to pintail ducks and four flamingos called Bill, Ben, Splosh and Pecks. There are over 30 different species of trees in the water garden, including trees from the original planting over sixty years ago. The roof was designed to bear the load of one hundredweight per square foot (approximately 500 kilogrammes per square metre) with a drainage layer of brick and clinker beneath the soil. Although they are on a rooftop, the trees were made the subject of tree preservation orders in 1976. Gallery References
Kensington Temple

Kensington Temple – protestancka świątynia zlokalizowana w Londynie, w Notting Hill, w gminie Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, w widłach ulic Kensington Park Road i Ladbroke Road, w pobliżu stacji metra Notting Hill Gate. Jest zabytkiem klasy II. Historia Świątynię wzniesiono z inicjatywy członków Kościoła Kongregacyjnego, którzy byli poruszeni ubóstwem wieloetnicznego Notting Hill, jakie panowało w tej dzielnicy w pierwszej połowie XIX wieku. Obiekt powstał ze składek i donacji, za które najpierw kupiono działkę budowlaną, a potem wzniesiono na niej kościół. Kamień węgielny położono 30 sierpnia 1848 (jest on widoczny po prawej stronie od wejścia głównego), a świątynia została oddana wiernym w roku następnym pod nazwą Horbury Chapel. Nazwa pochodziła od wioski Horbury w Yorkshire, miejsca narodzin pierwszego skarbnika Kościoła Kongregacyjnego. Z czasem świątynia przestała funkcjonować i w 1930 nabył ją kaznodzieja zielonoświątkowy, George Jeffreys (zm. 1962) i przemianował ją na Kensington Temple. Uruchomienie nastąpiło w 1931, a liczba miejsc została zwiększona do 1100. Słynęła wówczas z cudów i nawróceń - przybywały tu tłumy wiernych, zajmujących wszystkie miejsca. Świątynia Kensington była w tych czasach znana jako Kościół Wielkiego Uzdrowiciela i stanowiła bazę apostolską dla światowej służby George'a Jeffreysa, który nigdy nie był pastorem. Po śmierci Jeffreysa w 1962 i kilku latach zastoju ruch religijny został wznowiony przez kolejnego kaznodzieję zielonoświątkowego, Eldina Corsie. W latach 1980–1991 wspólnota rozrosła się do pięciu tysięcy wiernych za sprawą działań kaznodziei Wynne'a Lewisa. Przypisy

Keppel's Column

Keppel's Column is a 115-foot (35 m) tower Grade II* listed building between Wentworth and Kimberworth in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England. Keppel's Column is one of several follies in and around Wentworth Woodhouse park; the others include Hoober Stand and Needle's Eye. History The column was built in the late-18th century to commemorate the acquittal of the court-martialled Admiral Augustus Keppel after the Battle of Ushant. It was commissioned in 1773 by Charles Watson-Wentworth, 2nd Marquess of Rockingham and designed by John Carr. The column was finished in 1780. It was initially intended to be a landscape feature composed of pedestal surmounted by an obelisk, though at some stage the design was changed to a tall column. In October 2021, the column was one of 142 sites across England to receive part of a £35-million grant from the government's Culture Recovery Fund. Structure It visibly bulges due to an entasis correction, which was rendered inappropriate when funding problems reduced the height. The column, which has an internal spiral staircase, is located on a prominent hill on the southern extent of the Wentworth Estates. The hill is more than 480 ft (150 m) above mean sea level and is one of the highest hills in the Borough of Rotherham, second only to the hill on which Hoober Stand is located. Keppel's Column had been closed to the public since the 1960s due to being unsafe, as it was in a derelict state, but was reopened to the public in September 2022. The column can be viewed at close quarters from the public footpath running from Admiral's Crest in Scholes.
