Thirlwall Castle

Thirlwall Castle ist eine Burgruine aus dem 12. Jahrhundert in der Nähe des Dorfes Greenhead, etwa 32 km westlich von Hexham in der englischen Grafschaft Northumberland, an den Ufern des Flusses Tipalt. Die Burg wurde später mit Bausteinen aus dem nahegelegenen Hadrianswall ausgebaut, verfiel aber im 17. Jahrhundert. Die Ruine hat English Heritage als historisches Bauwerk I. Grades gelistet und sie gilt als Scheduled Monument. Name und Bedeutung „Thirlwall“ bedeutet „perforierte Mauer“ oder „durchbohrte Mauer“. Es ist vom altenglischen þyrel oder þyrl abgeleitet, das ein Loch bezeichnet, das durch irgendetwas gemacht wurde, eine Öffnung, eine Mündung und vom altenglischen weall, das Mauer bedeutet. Geschichte Die Burg war das Heim der Familie Thirlwall und wurde um 1330 von John Thirlwall befestigt. In einem Bericht von 1542 wird sie als in Besitz eines Robert Thirlwall und in einem „messbar guten Zustand“ bezeichnet. Sir Percival Thirlwall aus Thirlwall Castle wurde am 22. August 1485 in der Schlacht von Bosworth getötet, als er für die Sache des Hauses York kämpfte. Er war der Standartenträger König Richards im letzten Angriff von Bosworth. Er hielt nach der Überlieferung die Standarte auch noch, als seine Beine unter ihm abgeschnitten worden waren. Eleanor Thirlwall, die letzte in der Familienlinie, gab die Burg als Residenz auf und das Anwesen fiel 1738 mit ihrer Heirat mit Matthew Swinburne aus Capheaton Hall an die Familie Swinburne. 1748 verkauften die Swinburnes das Anwesen für £ 4000 an den Earl of Carlisle. Danach verfiel die Burg. 1832 und nochmals 1982 brachen wesentliche Teile des Mauerwerks zusammen. 1999 übernahm die Verwaltung des Northumberland-Nationalparks die Verwaltung der Burgruine und schützte sie vor weiterem Verfall.

Thirlwall Castle

Thirlwall Castle is a 12th-century castle in Northumberland, England, on the bank of the River Tipalt close to the village of Greenhead and approximately 20 miles (32 km) west of Hexham. It was built in the 12th century, and later strengthened using stones from nearby Hadrian's Wall, but began to fall into disrepair in the 17th century. The site is protected by Grade I listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument status. Meaning of name "Thirlwall" "Thirlwall" combines Middle English Thirl, contracted with wall; in context, reference and proximity to Roman-built Hadrian's Wall from which Thirlwall Castle was materially built. Thirl [as verb] means "perforated-" or [as noun] "bored-wall", from the Old English þyrel, þyrl, "a hole made through anything, an aperture, orifice" and weall, "wall". As used and described in an Atlantic Monthly article, it is referenced as "a small passage built into a wall to allow sheep but not cattle to pass through ... a thirl, or a thawl". In Greek, the word Thura "θύρα thýra, [pronounced] thoo'-rah; apparently a primary word (compare "door"); a portal or entrance (the opening or the closure, literally or figuratively): "door, gate". The middle English noun thirl likewise references a portal; a through passage, gate or door [thura] through which lambs enter in. The Gospel of John (King James Version), tenth chapter conveys this same meaning: "Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door [thura] of the sheep. I am the door [thura]: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture." (John 10:7;9). Thirl, corresponding identically in meaning to Greek thura, conjoined with wall then forms Thirlwall, having reference to the Roman-built Hadrian's Wall between Northeast England and Scotland in Northumbria. History The home of the Thirlwall family, the castle was fortified in about 1330 by John Thirlwall. In a survey of 1542 it was reported as in the ownership of Robert Thirlwall and in a 'measurable good' state of repair. Sir Percival Thirlwall of Thirlwall Castle was killed at the Battle of Bosworth whilst fighting in the Yorkist cause on 22 August 1485. He was Richard III's standard-bearer in the final charge at Bosworth. He held up the standard even after his legs had been cut from under him. Post medieval Eleanor Thirwall, the last of the Thirlwall family line, abandoned the castle as a residence and the estate passed to the Swinburne family by her 1738 marriage to Matthew Swinburne of Capheaton Hall. Swinburne sold the estate to the Earl of Carlisle for £4000 in 1748. Thereafter the castle fell into decay. In 1832 and again in 1982 there were serious collapses of masonry. In 1999 the Northumberland National Park Authority took over the management of the castle, protecting it from further dereliction. It is open to the public without charge.

Château de Thirlwall

Le château de Thirlwall est un château du XIIe siècle situé dans le Northumberland, en Angleterre, sur la rive de la rivière Tipalt, près du village de Greenhead et à environ 20 milles à l'ouest d'Hexham. Il est construit au XIIe siècle, puis renforcé à l'aide de pierres provenant du mur d'Hadrien voisin, mais commence à tomber en ruine au XVIIe siècle. Le site est protégé par le statut de bâtiment classé de catégorie I. Signification du nom "Thirlwall" "Thirlwall" combine le moyen anglais Thirl, contracté avec wall ; dans le contexte, la référence et la proximité du mur d'Hadrien de construction romaine à partir duquel le château de Thirlwall a été matériellement construit. Thirl [comme verbe] signifie "perforé-" ou [comme nom] "mur ennuyé", du vieil anglais þyrel, þyrl, "un trou fait à travers n'importe quoi, une ouverture, un orifice" et weall, "mur". Histoire Demeure de la famille Thirlwall, le château est fortifié vers 1330 par John Thirlwall. Dans une enquête de 1542, il est signalé comme appartenant à Robert Thirlwall et dans un « bon état mesurable ». Percival Thirlwall est tué à la bataille de Bosworth alors qu'il combat pour la cause Yorkiste le 22 août 1485. Il est le porte-drapeau de Richard III lors de la charge finale à Bosworth. Il a maintenu l'étendard même après que ses jambes aient été coupées sous lui. Eleanor Thirwall, la dernière de la lignée familiale Thirlwall, délaisse le château comme résidence et le domaine passe à la famille Swinburne par son mariage en 1738 avec Matthew Swinburne de Capheaton Hall. Swinburne vend le domaine au comte de Carlisle pour 4 000 £ en 1748. Par la suite, le château tombe en ruine. En 1832, puis en 1982, de graves effondrements de maçonnerie se produisent. En 1999, l'Autorité du parc national de Northumberland reprend la gestion du château, le protégeant ainsi d'un nouvel abandon. Il est ouvert au public gratuitement.

Thomas Deacon Academy

The Thomas Deacon Academy is a mixed gender academy complex in the north of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, comprising the Thomas Deacon Academy Secondary School and sixth form and The Junior Academy for Key Stage 2 students. Thomas Deacon Academy The Thomas Deacon Academy is an academy located in Peterborough, England. Built by contractors Laing O'Rourke to a design by Foster and Partners and Buro Happold, the academy's construction began in June 2005, and it opened to students in September 2007. The academy houses approximately 2,200 students ranging from ages 11–19 and was built on the site of Deacon's School in Queen's Gardens, Dogsthorpe. In the summer of 2016, it partnered with The Voyager Academy, eventually forming the Thomas Deacon Academy Education Trust. The total cost of the Thomas Deacon Academy is estimated at £46.4 million. The Peterborough Evening Telegraph has reported that this had risen to £50 million. Contributors to the academy include Peterborough City Council, Perkins Engines and Deacon's School Trust, a charity created by the will of Thomas Deacon in 1721. The teaching and student bodies combined the students and staff of three local schools: Deacon's School, John Mansfield School and Hereward Community College, all of which closed in July 2007. Thus allowing The academy to open in September of the same year. The academy initially offered the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme to its sixth form students as an alternative to A-Levels, but abandoned it in 2009 due to the IB being not cost-effective for the small number of students who choose to do it. An average day at the Academy starts at 8.45am and finishes at 3:15pm, but students may also attend after-school activities and additional lessons. The extra lessons can extend for a maximum of 2 hours after the end of the school day and are only scheduled for pupils in Key Stages 4 and 5. The school attracted controversy because it lacked a playground and no outside breaks were planned. Junior College The Junior College opened in September 2014. Functioning as a junior school, it accepts students between the ages of 7 and 11, within four separate, age grouped, 'school years' in accordance with the standard within the U.K. system, currently Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6, or the entirety of Key Stage 2. This cost of this new building is estimated to be around £7.2 million. The current head teacher of this school is Lucy Burks.

Thomas Hepburn Community Academy

Thomas Hepburn Community Academy (formerly Thomas Hepburn Community School) was a coeducational secondary school with academy status, located in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, England. The school served about 700 pupils aged 11–16. History There was a deliberate fire at the Highfield site in August 1972 costing £200,000, being rebuilt by April 1974. There was another deliberate fire at the Highfield site on Saturday 8 July 1978 at 9pm, with 16 fire engines, costing £750,000, started by a 15-year-old boy. Thomas Hepburn Community School was founded in 1990 following the merger of Sheriff Hill and Highfield Schools, based at the Highfield site. It was named for Thomas Hepburn, a trade union leader. The original headmaster was Mr. C.B. Buddle who had previously been headmaster at Sheriff Hill. In 2009 the school started an extensive rebuild project which saw the demolition of North and South block, the school hall, sports hall and gym as well as the refurbishment of the Technology block which now is home to the Art, Humanities and ICT departments. The Lifelong Learning building was refurbished over the summer break in 2011. In 2012 Thomas Hepburn was judged to be "Unsatisfactory" by Ofsted, and the 2012 Exam results placed the school among the 200 lowest attaining schools in the country. In January 2013 the Department of Education made the decision to convert the school into an academy, which formally occurred in October 2013. The school was then renamed Thomas Hepburn Community Academy. In 2015 a new system of a "mini school" took place, letting the year 7 students be free from the older students. In 2019, the school closed, due to dwindling student numbers, mainly attributed to poor exam results. Ofsted In February 2017, the academy was rated 'Inadequate' by Ofsted. The report said almost all pupils failed to achieve good enough qualifications and the brightest pupils weren't fulfilling their potential, while poorly planned teaching saw academic strugglers punished. Inspectors said teachers “settle too often for incomplete work or work of a poor standard”, and pupils who missed lessons weren't helped to catch up, and quickly fell behind. Meanwhile, behaviour was described as sub-standard. The report said: “The majority of pupils have a positive attitude to learning but a significant number of pupils purposely disrupt learning for themselves and others. These issues have been ongoing seemingly since the school was formed. References

He built the first house at Audley End. In 2008, there was a proposal by Essex County Council to merge the school with Alderman Blaxill School in a new Academy, but the idea was abandoned after a vigorous campaign led by Bob Russell, the then MP for Colchester. The school was previously a Language College before converting to academy status. See also List of schools in Essex References External links School website School Ofsted report
Thomas Mills High School

Thomas Mills High School & Sixth Form is a co-educational secondary school and sixth form with academy status in Framlingham, Suffolk, England. The current headteacher is Philip J Hurst. History The history of the school dates back to the beginning of the 18th century, when local Baptist philanthropist Thomas Mills stipulated within his will that money from his estate be used to "further the education of the children in Framlingham", and as such the Trustees of Mills' estate eventually established the first Mills School in 1751 on Brook Lane, Framlingham. The School was able to survive for one hundred and fifty years, during that time moving from Brook Lane to Double Street within the town. The School was then combined for several years, starting in 1878, with the Hitcham School in Framlingham, before becoming separate once again in the form of the Mills Grammar School at the turn of the century. The Hitcham School continuing also, eventually becoming the modern Sir Robert Hitcham Primary School in the town. Opening in 1902 as an independent Grammar school for all children ages 8–16 with a starting total of only twenty-five pupils, Mills Grammar School grew over the course of the 20th century, eventually submitting to local authority control in 1939, changing its age provision to 11–18 in 1945 and finally admitting boys to the school in the mid-Seventies. By this time the traditional model of Grammar, Modern and Technical schools had fallen out of favour and local councils were encouraged to form all-admitting comprehensive schools for the purpose of secondary education. As a result of this Mills Grammar School was merged with Framlingham Modern School, established in 1937, beginning in 1976 under the supervision of the latter's Headmaster, Michael Brown. Brown became the first headmaster of the newly formed Thomas Mills High School, opened in 1979, on the site of the old Modern School using the existing buildings and facilities, many of which continue to be used today along with many more modern additions. The original charitable trust established by Mills in his will continues to this day in the form of the Mills Charity.
