Lyddington Bede House

Lyddington Bede House (or Lyddington Bedehouse) is a historic house in Rutland, England, owned and opened to the public by English Heritage. The existing Grade I listed building is a part of a former palace of the Bishops of Lincoln, later used as an almshouse. It is next to St Andrew's Church in the village of Lyddington. The watch tower or gazebo is separately listed as Grade I and the boundary walls are Grade II. The site is a scheduled monument. History The medieval Diocese of Lincoln was the largest bishopric in England, extending from the River Thames to the Humber Estuary. Lyddington lay on a north–south road and the estate here was a convenient place for the bishop's entourage to stop when traversing the diocese. After the Reformation, ownership passed to the Cecil family who made it their private house. By 1600 it had passed to Thomas Cecil, 1st Earl of Exeter, son of Lord Burghley, who converted it into an almshouse for twelve poor bedesmen and it continued in this use until 1930. A feature is the former bishop's Great Chamber with its carved ceiling cornice. The Bede House is a Grade I listed building, and the wider site is a Scheduled monument. Watchtower The Watchtower, or "Bishop's Eye", is a two-storey tower set into the garden wall of the palace. Its purpose is uncertain; although its name suggests a defensive intention, it is considered more likely to have been constructed for leisure. Elizabeth Williamson, in her Lincolnshire and Rutland volume in the Pevsner Buildings of England series, revised and reissued in 2003, describes it as a "summerhouse", and the Historic England listing record refers to it as a gazebo. The tower has its own Grade I listing, while the walls into which it is set are listed at Grade II. The remains of the fishponds of the bishop's palace are nearby.

Lydekker Park

Lydekker Park is a 3-acre (1.2 ha) park in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. The land was formerly part of the garden of Harpenden Lodge, built in 1803, home for many years to the Lydekkers, one of the town's oldest families. In 1937 Hilda Lydekker, last surviving member of the Lydekker family, entered into an agreement with the former Harpenden Urban District Council that the 11 acres (4.5 ha) of land attached to Harpenden lodge should become an open space for the people of Harpenden. Her intention was that the open space should be a memorial to her two brothers and her fiancé, all of whom died in World War I. However, following the death of Miss Lydekker in 1987, shortly before her 101st birthday, her relatives were able to overturn the terms of her will, and the land was subsequently sold for development. Harpenden Town Council made strenuous efforts to have all, or at least part of, the area retained as open space. The Town Council had some measure of control as the developers were depending upon the Town Council to obtain planning permission to develop the site. In the end, only 3 acres (1.2 ha) out of the original 11 were given over to parkland and adjoining carpark, which is leased to the Harpenden Town Council at peppercorn rent. The park was opened to the public on 1 July 1998. Footnotes
Lydford Castle

Lydford Castle er ruinen af en middelalderborg, der ligger i Lydford, Devon, England. Den første borg i Lydford, nogle gange kaldet Norman fort, var en ringformet jordvold i hjørnet på et angelsaksisk burh i årene efter efter den normanniske erobring af England. Fæstningen skulle hjælpe med at kontrollere Devon efter flere oprør mod det normanniske styre i 1068. I midten af 1100-tallet var det forladt. Den anden borg i Lydford blev opført i 1195 efter lov og orden i hele England var udfordret. Den inkluderede et stentårn med en omkringliggende bailey, og blev hurtigt et fængsle og domhus der blev brugt til at administere Forest of Dartmoor og Devon stannaries. Tårnet blev genopført i 1200-tallet, sandsynligvis i 1260'erne af Richard, jarl af Cornwall. Det blev ombygget til atminde om en motte and bailey-fæstning, der var et gammeldags design for perioden. I 1342 blev borgen stadig brugt til fængsel og domhus, og den overgik til Hertugdømmt et Cornwall, der ejede det frem til 1900-tallet. Borgen forfaldt over tid, og i miten af 1800-tallet var det en ruin. I 1932 overgik Lydford Castle til staten, og i dag drives den af English Heritage som turistattraktion. Det er et scheduled monument. Se også Liste over borge og slotte i England Referencer Eksterne henvisninger
Замок Лидфорд

Замок Лидфорд (англ. Lydford Castle) — средневековый замок в городе Лидфорд, графство Девон, Англия. Бывшая тюрьма. История Первый замок в Лидфорде, иногда называемый нормандским фортом, представлял собой небольшую земляную насыпь в углу англосаксонского укреплённого бурга, и был построен в первые годы после нормандского завоевания Англии. Он был призван контролировать Девон после повсеместных восстания против нормандского правления в 1068 году. Нормандский форт был заброшен к середине XII века. Второй замок был построен в 1195 году после резкого роста разбоя в Англии. Он включал в себя каменную башню с внутренним двором и вскоре стал использоваться в качестве тюрьмы и здания суда в Дартмурском лесу и деревнях Девона. Башня была перестроена в середине XIII века, вероятно, в 1260-х годах Ричардом, графом Корнуоллом. Замок теперь напоминал мотт и бейли, уже устаревший тип строения для того времени, однако он символизировал власть. В 1342 году замок, который до сих пор использовался как тюрьма и зал суда, перешёл к герцогству Корнуолл, которое владело им до XX века. Замок неоднократно ремонтировался, а после приходил в упадок, поэтому его внешний вид со временем значительно изменился. Тем не менее, за исключением периода гражданской войны в Англии и Реставрации в XVII веке, Лидфордский замок играл важную роль в управлении Девоном и окрестными лесами вплоть до XIX века. Замок приобрел дурную репутацию из-за несправедливых приговорах в XIV веке, и жалобы на «закон Лидфорда» сохранялись веками. Когда в начале XIX века была построена тюрьма Дартмур, Лидфорд перестал быть центром правовым центром. К середине века замок пришёл в упадок. В 1932 году замок Лидфорд отошёл государству, а в XXI веке находится в ведении комиссии «Английское наследие» как туристическая достопримечательность. Историк Эндрю Сондерс назвал замок архитектурно значимым, поскольку он является «самым ранним примером целенаправленно построенной тюрьмы» в Англии. Земляные укрепления нормандского форта принадлежат Национальному фонду и открыты для посещения. См. также Список замков Англии Примечания Литература Creighton, O. H.

Lyme Regis Museum

Lyme Regis Philpot Museum is situated in the town of Lyme Regis on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, England. It is a registered charity under English law. It is built on the site of the former home of the palaeontologist Mary Anning, which existed until 1826. The museum building was commissioned in 1901 by Thomas Philpot, a relative of the Philpot sisters, fossil collectors and friends of Anning and built in 1902 by architect George Vialls, who also designed the nearby Guildhall (now the Town Hall). The collections and subject areas exhibited include fossils from the surrounding area dating from the Jurassic period, geology, local maritime history, memorabilia, and writers associated with the town such as Jane Austen and John Fowles. An ornate example of Coade stone work, in the form of ammonites is set into the pavement outside the museum, reflecting both local history (specifically Eleanor Coade, the inventor of Coade stone) and the palaeontology for which Lyme Regis is well known.

Lymm Dam

Lymm Dam is the name of a dam and lake in Lymm, Cheshire, England, an inset village in the greenbelt around Warrington. It was created in 1824 by a dam built during the construction of what is now the A56 road, when local inhabitants objected to initial plans for a route through the village centre. It may have been used to supply power to local industry, and the surrounding area. Warrington Borough Council began managing the Lymm Dam and its park in the early 1980s. At that time there were considerable erosion problems and the Ranger Service began to upgrade the existing path network and take over the park maintenance. It is now a popular visitor attraction, which has won several Green Flag Awards for its improvements to the infrastructure and ecology of the dam. The lake is fed from the south by three streams, the Bradley Brook, Mag Brook and Kaylane Brook, and its outlet runs under the A56 and down a valley known as the Dingle to the Lower Dam in Lymm village centre. The dam at the foot of the lake is Grade II listed, as is Crosfield Bridge at the head of the lake. See also List of parks and open spaces in Cheshire References

78 Lyndhurst Way

78 Lyndhurst Way was a squatted artist-run space in a Grade II listed Victorian-period house in Peckham, London in 2005 or earlier. Project The artist cooperative which initiated the Lyndhurst Way exhibitions was composed of James Balmforth, Bobby Dowler, Christopher Green, Oliver Eales, Simon Simon Milner, Oliver Griffin and Shaun McDowell. The Lyndhurst Way exhibitions began with '10 Rooms and a Sculpture Garden' on 3 November 2006, and closed with 'Bold Tendencies' ending 7 October 2007. The Peckham Pavilion, one of the first Unofficial Pavilions (Venice Biennale) represented the Hannah Barry Gallery at the 53rd Venice Biennale in 2009. This included many Lyndhurst Way artists including the core group. Lyndhurst Way is sometimes referred to as an art collective, the "core" group of artists have worked together on international group shows including "PECKHAMNEWYORKPARIS". Lyndhurst Way was also the nucleus from which the Hannah Barry Gallery emerged from in January 2008. Exhibitions Seven of the exhibitions were held in the squat house at number 78 Lyndhurst Way, the Grade II listed Victorian building followed by two off-site projects initiated by Hannah Barry with spaces provided by Southwark Council. The first of which was held at the now defunct Area10 project space in Peckham, and the second and final exhibition being the inauguration of the Bold Tendencies Sculpture Project which was originally held on the rooftop of Sumner House, an old school building in North Peckham. Since the end of the 'Lyndhurst Way' exhibitions the core artists went on to be represented by Hannah Barry Gallery, and the Bold Tendencies Sculpture Project continues each summer on the rooftop of Peckham multistory car-park.

Lyng Hall School

Lyng Hall School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in Coventry, England. It is known for its community work within its local area and the city of Coventry. Lyng Hall's student composition is ethnically diverse and supports students from many backgrounds and countries, many of which speak English in addition to their mother tongues. The school also has an above-average population of students who have learning difficulties and/or disabilities. Many of the students come from areas of socio-economic deprivation and as a result, the number eligible for free school meals is well above the national average. The school gained specialist status as a Sports College in 2005. The school achieved the 'Gold Healthy School' award in 2007, became a 'Creative Partnership' change school in June 2008 and a 'Trust School' in the same year. Ofsted reports dating back to 2001 indicate a gradual improvement over the years, up to 2008, where the school was once considered to be on average 'satisfactory', was now considered to be 'good'. A report composed in 2008 examining the performance of Design and Technology (D&T) and Modern Language indicated concerns with both. D&T was found to be lackluster, typically due to a frequent change in teachers during and between terms and teachers themselves being unqualified. As a result, standards of proficiency of D&T in students are below the average expected of their age at the end of Key Stage 3. Modern Languages teaching quality was found to be satisfactory, but in the 2005–2006 term, entitlement to the subject was withdrawn because so few students opted to take a language in Key Stage 4, removing the potential for pupils who wish to learn a Modern Language. Based on information available, French has been reintroduced as an option for Key Stage 4 students. Previously a foundation school administered by Coventry City Council, Lyng Hall School converted to academy status in July 2016. The school is now sponsored by the Finham Park Multi Academy Trust. The school is well known in the local area for the volume of its alumni progressing into the pharmaceutical industries. Many of the school's alumna have been widely noted in the press for their work in this sector. Lyng Hall has been widely recognised and credited for its instrumental role in encouraging the development of chemical substances. The school runs a 'Community Programme', allowing for clubs and classes to take place on and make use of some of the school's premises, typically at evenings and weekends. The programme includes such activities as aikido, athletics, triathleticism and football. Notable former pupils Colleen Fletcher –- Labour MP for Coventry North East since 2015.
