Barrow Park

Barrow Park is a 45-acre public park in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England. It is located entirely within the Parkside ward, to which the park lends its name, bound by Abbey Road, Park Drive, Greengate Street and Park Avenue. Barrow Park was designed by Thomas Mawson in 1908 and was constructed in stages over the following two decades. Originally sited on the outskirts of Barrow, the park is now more or less central due to rapid growth of the town northwards during the early 20th century. It is designated by Historic England as Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. The park contains a large boating lake, mini railway, skate park, various playgrounds and The Park Leisure Centre. The Barrow Parkrun takes place within the park every Saturday. Large sections of Barrow Park were redeveloped in 2005 to include a new pavilion, café, bandstand and display glasshouse. The park has since gained Green Flag status. The miniature railway features a signal box taken, in 1974, from a line closed as part of the Beeching cuts. It underwent a round of restoration in late 2016. Features The Park Leisure Centre The multi-functional leisure facility is in the eastern perimeter off Barrow Park and is home to two large swimming pools, a gym, exercise studios and a sports hall. The Park Leisure Centre as with the park itself is owned and operated by Barrow Borough Council and offers numerous classes while also accommodating for groups and the general public. The leisure centre also maintains a number of outdoor artificial pitches for various sports. Cenotaph The most iconic feature of Barrow Park is the town's principal cenotaph; commemorating almost 900 Barrovians who lost their lives in various wars. The memorial is located at the highest point of the park on the site of a late Bronze Age fort offering 360-degree views of Barrow. Park map Gallery References External links The Park Leisure Centre

Boston Cemetery

Boston Cemetery is a cemetery located in Boston, Lincolnshire in England. The cemetery dates back to 1855 and was laid out by Darlington architect James Pigott Pritchett junior. History In 1854, a competition was held to design two chapels, a lodge and entrance gates for the new Boston Cemetery. The first prize was won by Pritchett & Sons of York, the firm of James Pigott Pritchett senior, but it was his son James Pigott Pritchett junior, who had just established his own firm in Darlington, who attended the meeting in July 1854 and was commissioned to prepare plans. He provided the layout for the grounds and plans for the twin chapels and a lodge, all in the gothic style. The layout of the cemetery, lodge and Anglican chapel remain intact, though the nonconformist chapel was demolished in 1961. Notable burials Herbert Ingram, founder of The Illustrated London News War Graves The cemetery contains the war graves of 82 Commonwealth service personnel. There are 50 from World War I and 30 from World War II. The graves from the former war are scattered throughout the cemetery, most of those from the latter war are in a special war graves plot, behind which is a memorial to civilians of Boston who died by enemy action in the same war. There is also one non-war grave in the war graves plot. One of the most curious graves is that of Major Walter George Burnett Dickinson (1858–1914) who died of a heart attack 36 hours after the beginning of the First World War whilst requisitioning horses in the Boston area. Due to CWGC rules this still qualifies as an official "war death", making him, on paper at least, the first Major to die serving in the war. Another grave is that of Linley Moreton Phillips, an Australian civilian prisoner of war in Ruhleben internment camp from 1914 to 1918, who died on ship returning to Boston.

St Tarcisius Church, Camberley

St Tarcisius Church is a Roman Catholic Parish church in Camberley, Surrey. It was built between 1923 and 1924 and was designed by Frederick Walters. It is situated on the London Road, to the north of the town, next to The Atrium Shopping Centre. It is a Grade II listed building. History Foundation In 1869, a priest, Fr Thomas Purcell would come from Aldershot, to say Mass for the local Catholic population in various people's houses. For the next four years, Catholics would travel to St Joseph's Church, Aldershot for Mass. On 25 January 1873, a site was bought for £120 for a school. In 1874, a priest, Fr McKenna, was permanently appointed to serve the Catholics in Camberley. In 1879, Lady Southwell gave a plot of land, the present site, for the construction of St Tarcisius Church. In 1884, a temporary iron church was built to accommodate the congregation. In 1888, the priest's house was built and in 1896 the school was expanded. Construction In 1906, Fr Patrick Twomey came to Camberley and started to plan to build a new permanent church. On 12 September 1923, the foundation stone of the church was laid by the Bishop of Southwark, Peter Amigo. On 18 November 1924, the church was opened. The church was designed by Frederick Walters as a War Memorial for fallen British Catholic military officers in the First World War. It served as the chaplaincy for Catholics at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. On 26 June 1926, the church was consecrated by Cardinal Francis Bourne. In 1935, stained-glass windows, designed by Paul Woodroffe, were installed in the church. Architecture Exterior There is a tower on the north west side of the church and the church is made of Bargate stone. The top of the tower is crenellated and there is a porch under the tower. There is a traceried window above the entrance. The transepts are gabled and also have traceried windows. Above the chancel is a five-bay traceried window. Interior There are memorial plaques made of marble in the porch. The nave has a pine ceiling. The arcade in the nave and the arches inside the transepts are made of Bath stone. The original pews, made of oak, that were installed when the church was built, are still present. Gallery Parish Since 2007, the church has been part of the parish of Camberley & Bagshot along with Christ the King Church in Bagshot and St Peter & St John Church in Old Dean, so the Mass times of the churches do not conflict. St Tarcisius Church has Sunday Mass at 9:15 am, Christ the King Church has its Sunday Mass at 11:15 am and the Sunday Mass for St Peter & St John Church is on Saturday afternoon at 5:30 pm.

St Mary’s Church (Dover)

Die St Mary’s Church (auch: St Mary the Virgin) ist ein anglikanisches Kirchengebäude in Dover in der Grafschaft Kent in Großbritannien. Die Kirche ist als Kulturdenkmal der Kategorie Grade II* eingestuft. Geschichte Die unter dem Patrozinium der heiligen Maria stehende Kirche geht im Kern auf ein normannisches Bauwerk der Romanik aus dem 12. Jahrhundert zurück. Die heutige Kirche befindet sich an der Stelle einer älteren angelsächsischen Vorgängerkirche, die im Domesday Book erwähnt wurde. Diese ältere Kirche wiederum wurde an der Stelle römischer Bäder errichtet. Der Westturm und die vier westlichen Joche der Arkaden des Langhauses stammen aus dem frühen 12. Jahrhundert. Der quadratische Westturm ist fünfgeschossig und wird von einem Turmhelm mit Wetterfahne bekrönt. Die reich gegliederte Westfassade aus Feuerstein mit Steineinfassungen weist eine Arkadengliederung auf, die nach oben hin zunehmend reichhaltiger gestaltet ist. Sie besteht aus Säulchen mit Würfelkapitellen und Bögen mit Muschelornamentik. Der Zugang erfolgt über ein schlichtes, später erneuertes Westportal mit flankierenden Säulchen. Die neugotischen Seitenschiffe sowie die östlichen Teile des Langhauses und der Chorraum wurden von J. C. und C. Buckler im Stil der Early English-Gotik in den Jahren 1843/44 errichtet. Die Seitenschiffe werden durch Lanzettfenster belichtet. Die meisten historischen Buntglasfenster gingen im Zweiten Weltkrieg durch Kriegseinwirkung verloren. Zur Ausstattung gehören ein normannisches achteckiges Taufbecken aus Purbeck-Marmor, dessen unterer Teil erneuert ist. Außerdem finden sich eine Messinggrabplatte von 1638 sowie mehrere Wanddenkmäler aus dem 18. Jahrhundert. Die Kirchenbänke stammen aus dem 19. Jahrhundert.

St Mary's Church, Dover

The Church of St Mary the Virgin is a Grade II* listed Anglican church, a parish church in Dover, Kent, and is situated on Cannon Street in the town centre. There was a church on this site in Saxon times. It was largely rebuilt in the 19th century. Early history The church stands on the site of Roman baths; it is thought there was originally a Saxon church here. Three churches in Dover are mentioned in the Domesday Book, and it has been supposed that these are St Mary's, St James' and St Peter's. The oldest parts of the existing building are the tower and three bays of the arcades, which are Norman architecture of the early 12th century. From 1230 the church was controlled by Maison Dieu, which was built in Dover in 1203 to accommodate pilgrims from overseas visiting Canterbury Cathedral. The church was closed in 1537, at the Dissolution of the Monasteries, but opened in 1544 as a parish church, after a petition of the townspeople. From 1581 it was the official church of the Mayor and corporation instead of St Peter's Church (which stood on the northern side of the market square and was in disrepair; it was demolished soon afterwards). Rebuilding In 1843–1844, during the incumbency of Canon John Puckle, the church, except for the tower, was rebuilt in Early English style. The work was carried out by J. C. & C. Buckler. The church was enlarged and clerestory windows were added. The tower was restored in 1897. The church was damaged during the Second World War, but was not directly hit. Many of the stained glass windows were destroyed. Windows have been installed since the war to commemorate important relations between the church and the town. Bells The church has eight bells, originally made by Samuel Knight in 1724. In 1898, at the time the tower was restored, the bells were rehung in a new frame by John Warner & Sons, who recast the treble bell. The bells have since then been rehung twice, in 1947 and 2002. Memorial The church houses the main memorial to the victims of the MS Herald of Free Enterprise, which capsized outside Zeebrugge in Belgium on its way to Dover on 6 March 1987. References
Dublin Castle, Camden

The Dublin Castle is a pub and live music venue in Camden Town, London. It gained prominence as a venue in the late 1970s after the band Madness established a live reputation there. Subsequently, it was an important venue in the early stages of several bands' careers and contributed to the Britpop musical genre. Amy Winehouse was a regular visitor to the pub. History An apocryphal story claims not only that the pub was built to serve Irish immigrant workmen while building the nearby railway, but also that it formed part of a group of other pubs each newly constructed for the purpose of segregating the different nationalities and reduce the risk of fights breaking out between them. While this pub featured in rates books as early as 1821 and hence may possibly have been frequented by Irish navvies, as the canal was completed in 1820 and the opening of the railway line into Euston in 1837, there were no other pubs named after castles until the Edinboro Castle on Mornington Terrace opened afterwards in 1839. Music was originally restricted to occasional traditional Irish sessions. The emergence of other venues around Camden Town, including the Roundhouse, Dingwalls and the Electric Ballroom brought an increased interest in live music to the area, including the Dublin Castle. The pub can now accommodate an audience up to 200 people. Madness first attempted to secure a gig at the venue in late 1978, when they were still known as the Camden Invaders. They first performed at the venue on 16 January 1979. According to singer Suggs, the group had to pretend they were a jazz band to get a booking. Landlord Alo Conlon invited the group back for a residency at the venue, and helped to establish their reputation. Conlon chose bands to play in the pub that he thought would attract an audience, and word of mouth spread so that A&R scouts would visit the pub to see what up and coming acts were available. The pub was an important venue for Britpop acts in the 1990s, as it was often the first major London gig for bands that later found commercial success, including Blur. It also hosted Coldplay's first concert under that name, in 1998. Amy Winehouse performed regularly at the venue and occasionally helped to serve drinks to customers. In 2008, Conlon received a lifetime achievement award for his services to the pub industry in Camden. He died in January 2009 aged 73. A tribute and street party was held on Parkway, with Suggs in attendance. Events The Dublin Castle regularly hosts live music events from Wednesday to Sunday every week. It previously hosted a popular open jam on Tuesday nights, which included appearances from major bands such as The Libertines. Redrock Jam was hosted by local band Redwire, who also hosted Redrock Festival at the same venue. References Citations Sources External links Official website

Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, Englefield Green

The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption is a Roman Catholic church in Englefield Green, Surrey. It is situated on St Cuthbert's Close and faces Harvest Road in the older side of the village close to Egham Hill. It was built from 1930 to 1931 and designed by Joseph Goldie. Although the church is not a listed building, English Heritage, in two separate reports, stated "this is a thumping great church" and "many churches were being built in the Romanesque style in the 1930s ... but Goldie's church is better composed and more competently detailed than most." History Foundation In 1903, a priest came at least weekly from Twickenham to serve local Catholics in Englefield Green. Mass was held in a small chapel of an iron framework within the grounds of Sandylands, the home of Major General Arthur Kennedy Rideout who also arranged transport for the priest. In 1907, a larger wooden church was built on Harvest Road, named St Cuthbert's Church. The chapel at Sandylands was moved and attached to the church. Construction In the late 1920s, Gerard and Miriam Jurgens bought the site for a new church and paid its construction. The foundation stone was laid on 25 October 1930. On 20 September the next year, the church was opened. It is in an Italian basilica style and was designed by Joseph Goldie, son of Edward Goldie and grandson of George Goldie. He designed the Church of Our Lady and St Peter in Leatherhead. The Jurgens family asked for the dedication to be changed to the Assumption of Our Lady. After the church was built, the old wooden church was attached to the new church and became the parish hall. Architecture Exterior The church is in the form of a basilica with a polygonal sanctuary. A tower rounds off the southeast side. Chapels grace both transepts. The building is painted white and has Roman tiles on the roof. There is a priest's house to the east of the church and a parish hall to the south, all painted white similar to the church. Interior The church has a nave with narrow central aisle and cloistered aisles to the sides. The entire interior is painted. Above the main altar is a painting of the Assumption of Mary by the Spanish artist Antonio Palomino, painted in the seventeenth century. The organ was given to the church by David Greig, owner of the supermarket chain. Parish The church is in the parish of Saint Cuthbert, which includes the Saint John of Rochester Church in Egham Hythe and the Catholic chaplaincy to the nearby Royal Holloway College of the University of London: St John of Rochester Church has two Masses, at 6:00 pm on Saturday and at 9:15 am on Sunday. Our Lady holds Mass at 11:00 am on Sunday. Royal Holloway holds Mass at 7:30 pm on Sunday. Interior See also Roman Catholic Diocese of Arundel and Brighton References External links Egham Parish site
