Monkton Farleigh Manor

Monkton Farleigh Manor is a Grade I listed country house close to the village of Monkton Farleigh in Wiltshire, England. Built on the site of a Cluniac priory founded in 1125, the house is about 3 miles (5 km) northwest of Bradford-on-Avon and 4 miles (6 km) east of the city of Bath. History In 1536 Sir Edward Seymour, then Viscount Beauchamp, obtained a grant of the site and ground of the former Monkton Farleigh priory, its church, bell-tower, and churchyard, the manor and advowson of Farleigh, and all the property in Farleigh. The earliest part of the manor house, built of materials from the priory and dating from the 16th century, is on the western side. There were additions in the 17th century, and in the 18th century further extensive additions were made. Above the mullioned windows are 12th and 13th century carved fragments from the adjoining monastic site, including a coffin lid with a carved cross. The cellars of the house belonged to the original conventual buildings of the priory. Part of an altar tomb with heavy carving from the priory has been incorporated into a chimney-piece at Monkton House in nearby Broughton Gifford. The house was occupied by the Seymour family from 1737 to 1804. In 1812 the lease was acquired from the Bishop of Salisbury by John son of Richard Long of Rood Ashton, on whose death in 1833 it passed to his son John. The Longs retained the lease until 1842, when it passed to Wade Browne. After his death in 1851 it was sublet to a succession of tenants, and eventually the Ecclesiastical Commissioners formed the manor into a freehold estate, and the part of it attached to the manor house, along with the house itself, was sold in 1873 to Sir Charles Hobhouse, Bt, whose descendants are the present owners. Bishop Jewel's Room in the old west wing is named after John Jewel, who died at the house in 1571. The house was recorded as Grade I listed in 1962. Near the house, a free-standing gable end wall – the remains of the priory's 13th-century refectory – is also Grade I listed.

Monkton House (Wiltshire)

Monkton House ist ein Landhaus im Dorf Broughton Gifford in der englischen Grafschaft Wiltshire. Das Haus aus dem 16. Jahrhundert hat English Heritage als historisches Bauwerk II*. Grades gelistet. Geschichte Im 12. Jahrhundert gründeten cluniazensische Benediktinermönche ein Kloster in Monkton Farleigh und erwarben dafür Land in der Nachbarschaft. Nach der Auflösung der englischen Klöster wurden die Abtei und ihre Ländereien, einschließlich der Grundherrschaft von Monkton Sir Edward Seymour, 1. Earl of Hertford, übertragen. Seymour verpachtete die Grundherrschaft an Edward Long, Sohn eines reichen Tuchhändlers aus Wiltshire, Henry Long aus Whaddon. Edward hatte bereits drei Jahre vorher die Grundherrschaft von Rood Ashton erworben. Später, am 15. Mai 1615, kaufte Long auch das Landhaus und hinterließ es seinen beiden Söhnen Edward und John, die nacheinander dort wohnten. John scheint um 1647 umfangreiche Bauarbeiten an dem Haus ausführen haben lassen, wie eine Plakette an der Hauswand dies ausweist. Zu den Arbeiten gehörten Reparaturen, Umbauten, ein neues Dach und ein Anbau an der Ostseite. Ein stark behauener Kaminsims soll früher Teil eines Altargrabes des Klosters in Monkton Farleigh gewesen sein und befindet sich heute in einem der Schlafzimmer. Irgendwann während des englischen Bürgerkrieges sah sich der Haushalt gezwungen, Soldaten zu beherbergen, die für Oliver Cromwells parlamentaristische Armee kämpften. Möglicherweise überstrapazierten die oben genannten Umbauten John Longs Finanzen, da er 1649–1650 als insolvent ausgewiesen und das Anwesen sequestriert wurde. Ihm folgte sein Sohn Thomas Long aus Rowden in Chippenham († 1691) nach, das Anwesen wurde gesichert und blieb in Händen der Familie Long, bis es Thomas Long am 10. Mai 1669 an Sir James Thynne aus Longleat House verkaufte. Es scheint aber, dass Thomas Long das Haus noch bis 1671 vom neuen Eigentümer gemietet hatte. William Thynne erscheint dann als Eigentümer. Heute gehört das Haus der Familie Coote. Einzelnachweise
Monkton House

Monkton House in Broughton Gifford, Wiltshire, England is a Grade II* listed 16th-century house. History In the 12th century Cluniac monks of the Order of Saint Benedict founded a monastery at Monkton Farleigh, acquiring land in the neighbourhood. On the Dissolution of the Monasteries the priory and abbey land, including the manor of Monkton, were given to Sir Edward Seymour, 1st Earl of Hertford. Seymour leased it in 1600 to Edward Long, son of a wealthy Wiltshire clothier, Henry Long of Whaddon. Edward had already purchased the manor of Rood Ashton three years before. Long later bought the house on 15 May 1615 and left it to his two sons Edward and John, who occupied it in succession. John appears to have carried out an extensive building programme in or around 1647 (marked by a plaque on the wall of the house) involving repairs, alterations, re-roofing and an extension on the eastern side. A chimney-piece with heavy carving, believed to be part of an altar tomb from Monkton Farleigh Priory is in one of the bedrooms. At some point during the English Civil War the household was forced to accommodate soldiers fighting for Cromwell's Parliamentarian army. Possibly John's building programme stretched his finances as he was labelled a delinquent (1649–50) and his estate was sequestered. He was succeeded by his son Thomas Long of Rowden in Chippenham (died 1691), the estate was secured, and continued in the Long family until 10 May 1669 when Thomas sold it to Sir James Thynne of Longleat. However, Thomas appears to have continued to rent the property until 1671. William Thynne then appears as the owner. The house is currently owned by the Kirk family.

Monkwood

Monkwood is a Hamlet in the south of Ropley parish. Although currently it is spread between Petersfield Road and Hill Farm Road, historically it referred to the settlement on the south side of Smugglers Lane (SU 6605630920) containing the 15th Century Smugglers, the 16th Century The Old Farmhouse and the C18th century cottage between the two. The more recent settlement between Petersfield Road and Hill Farm Lane originates from around the late 1800s, with only two settlements; Hill Farm and Ropley Common Farm visible in the 1870s OS Map. Etymology The first mention of Monkwood is in 1550 as Monkwodd (see below) and suggests a monastical connection, possibly with Selbourne Priory who held a great deal of land in West Tisted, alternatively it has been theorised that it was named after Newark Priory. However little evidence exists for this theory. It is equally possible that the hamlet is named after 'William le Monek' who was recorded in 1327 in a poll tax assessment of Ropley- his name directly translates to William the Monk. The Woodland specifically referred to is preserved in the 1839 Ropley Parish Tithe Map which lists a series of names focused around the junction of Smugglers Lane and Petersfield Road. Smugglers Lane The historical settlement of Monkwood was centred around Smugglers Lane, this name likely is a late 18th century or early 19th century creation as historically it was known as "Munkdean Lane" from the Old English Dene meaning valley. Smuggling was rife in Ropley in the later 1700s and stories of plotted murder, hiding contraband and people, although some are possibly folklore, are nonetheless reflective of smuggling in this village and area.

Monmouth Beach, Lyme Regis

Monmouth Beach is a pebble and rock beach stretching approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) westwards from the harbour at Lyme Regis, Dorset to Pinhay Bay, East Devon. It is part of the Jurassic Coast, situated below Ware Cliffs, and includes Poker's Pool, Virtle Rock and Chippel Bay. Virtle Rock is the furthest islet from the coast in Poker's Pool. The name derives from the landing here of Duke of Monmouth in 1685 during his attempt to take the crown from King James II. Following the defeat of the Duke of Monmouth, twelve locals were hanged on the beach on the order of the notorious "Hanging Judge" Jeffreys. Fossils Monmouth Beach is now owned by the National Trust, and is very popular with fossil hunters, as ammonites, belemnites, plant fossils and even a few remains of Ichthyosaur vertebrae fossils have been found here. The cliffs are estimated to be 199-189 million years old. The "ammonite pavement" or "ammonite graveyard" at Monmouth beach is a limestone layer with many ammonite fossils, including large specimens 0.5-1 meter in diameter. Coroniceras features prominently. Most ammonite fossils include the ammonite's outer coil, but the middle parts are often crushed. Crinoids and the bivalve Gryphaea ("devil's toenail") are also present. The pavement is part of the Blue Lias formation In 2017, several sections of the ammonite slab broke off in a storm, and these were moved off of the beach for further study and preservation.

Montem Mound

The Montem Mound is an ancient mound of earth. It lies on Montem Lane, around half a mile west of central Slough, Berkshire, overlooking the Chalvey Brook, a minor tributary of the River Thames. The mound is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The age of the mound was a matter of debate: Slough Museum was adamant that it is a Norman Motte and Bailey outpost from Windsor. Alternative theories suggested that it is a much older "moot" point - a gathering place, while parallels might perhaps be drawn with the Taplow Mound, although that lies on much higher land above the Thames. In her 1925 book 'Prehistoric London. Its Mounds and Circles' E.O. Gordon asserted that the Montem was an ancient site of druidic assembly. Until 1847, Eton College held an annual festival here, known as Eton Montem, also known as Salt Hill. In 2017, archaeologists from the University of Reading found the site to be around 1,500 years old, placing the mound at the time of the early Anglo-Saxon period and making the mound a rough contemporary of Sutton Hoo and the nearby Taplow burial site.

Montgomery Academy, Bispham

Montgomery Academy (formerly Montgomery High School) is a co-educational secondary school located in Bispham (near Blackpool) in the English county of Lancashire. History The school has previously held Specialist Language College status and was part of the Beacon schools programme. In February 2001, the Times Educational Supplement listed Montgomery in a group of schools that had received outstanding inspection reports or achieved sustained excellent GCSE results. In September 2005 it was notable for being awarded 'outstanding' assessments by Ofsted in the following key areas: How well does the school work in partnership with others to promote learners' well-being? How good is the overall personal development and well-being of the learners? How well do the curriculum and other activities meet the range of needs and interests of learners? How well are learners cared for, guided and supported? Joan Humble and Stephen Twigg congratulated the school for its achievements in the House of Commons on 20 January 2005 and the school was then visited by the Secretary of State for Education Ruth Kelly. Previously a foundation school administered by Blackpool Council, in April 2012 Montgomery High School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Fylde Coast Academy Trust, and was later renamed Montgomery Academy. In 2014, Montgomery was placed in special measures. Ofsted rated it inadequate in all four areas of effectiveness: achievement of pupils, quality of teaching, behaviour and safety of pupils and leadership and management.

Montpellier Rotunda

Montpellier Rotunda is a Grade I listed building in Montpellier, Cheltenham, England. History In 1809, Henry Thompson constructed a wooden pavilion with a colonnade as part of the wider development of the "Montpellier Spa" on land previously known as Trafalgar Field. By 1817 it had been rebuilt in stone as the Montpellier Spa became increasingly popular. Thompson employed the architect George Allen Underwood, who completed the building with a statue of a crouching lion on the parapet. In 1826, Henry Thompson's son Pearson Thompson asked John Buonarotti Papworth to oversee the project and it was during this period that the dome was erected. The dome is inspired by Rome's Pantheon and has almost identical proportions. The building was used as a pumproom, with water from local wells, and ballroom with an additional billiard room and reading room. Concerts were held in the building including Jenny Lind in 1848 and the first performance of a Scherzo by local composer Gustav Holst in 1891. The Spa and surrounding gardens were purchased by the Cheltenham Borough Council in 1893. The building was designated as a Grade I listed building in 1955. During the 1960s the council and Lloyds Bank undertook restoration work. Since 2017 it has housed a restaurant in The Ivy collection, who undertook restoration work. Architecture The building has limestone walls with a copper roof. The front of the building has a colonnade of doric columns, a frieze of alternating square and rectangular panels and a parapet. The central wooden dome in the assembly room is coffered internally and has light entering via the lantern in the centre. The room is 56 feet (17 m) high and 54 feet (16 m) across. References

Moorbank Garden

Der Moorbank Garden ist der botanische Garten von Newcastle upon Tyne. Er wird von der Universität Newcastle betrieben und wurde 1923 gegründet. Die Anlage umfasst 3 ha und liegt in der Nähe des Town Moor an der Claremont Road. Gewächshäuser zeigen tropische und Wüstenpflanzen. Die Außenanlage zeigt Rhododendron aus dem Kilbryde Garden in Prospect Hill des Pflanzensammlers Randle Cooke (1880–1973), der Haus und Garten der Universität vermachte, eine Sammlung von Primeln und seltenen Scheinmohn aus China und Nepal sowie Beete, die die Vegetation von Teesdale zeigen, darunter seltene Frauenmantel-Sorten. Weitere Beete zeigen die Arten von Schneeball und Scheinhasel. Auch Lord Ridley of Blagdon stiftete Pflanzen. Der Garten ist der Öffentlichkeit im Rahmen des National Garden Schemes zugänglich. 2012 erhielt der Garten 12.200 Pfund des Heritage Lottery Funds, um den Zugang für die Öffentlichkeit zu erleichtern. Leiterin ist zurzeit (2013) Anne Borland. Die Gewächshäuser sollen mit dem Umzug der Universität Ende November 2013 geschlossen werden, was den Tod aller exotischen Pflanzen bedeutet. Ein Verein, Friends of Moorbank, hat sich gegründet, um die Anlage zu retten. Northumberland College hat sich bereit erklärt, die Pflege zu übernehmen, die Stadt, der der Grund gehört, hat aber nicht eingewilligt. Die Universität will ein neues biologisches Forschungszentrum in Cockle Park bei Morpeth einrichten. Sie sieht den botanischen Garten als nicht mehr zeitgemäß.
