Heron Corn Mill

The Heron Corn Mill is a working 18th-century water mill on the River Bela at Beetham, Cumbria, England. The mill and its mill race are Grade II* listed, and in 2013 it was awarded a £939,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund for major restoration work. The mill is open to visitors, with regular opportunities to see flour being milled. The 18th century barn is used as a venue for a range of community and educational activities. Within the mill site there is also a Kaplan turbine generating hydroelectricity, some of which is sold to the BillerudKorsnäs paper mill across the river. A fish ladder bypassing the weir allows salmon to pass up the river to breed.

Hethersett Academy

Hethersett Academy, previously known as Hethersett High School and Science College, is a coeducational secondary school, part of the Inspiration Trust, located in the village of Hethersett in the English county of Norfolk. It has around 1,200 pupils aged 11–16. Description In March 2013 Hethersett High School and Science College had been put in special measures. It was one of 28 Norfolk schools targeted by Ofsted in a bid to discover why so many were failing to deliver good outcomes for their pupils. The visiting inspectors said "Students' achievement was not good enough, leaders and management had failed to spot youngsters' underachievement quickly enough and the quality of teaching was inconsistent and often did not challenge pupils enough. The decline in the quality of education provided by the school indicates that capacity for improvement is inadequate." It acknowledged that students were well cared for and felt safe at school and attendance was above average. Parents were positive about the school's work. The school re-opened as an academy in November 2013 under the sponsorship of the Inspiration Trust; the new principal was Gareth Stevens. On 2 December 2014 there were still concerns about the behaviour of the pupils, and Ofsted did a monitoring visit. They advised management to put more emphasis on low-level disruption in lessons being covered by temporary supply staff, praised them for the new system of compulsory after school sessions- saying these worked when they had been well planned and fostered discontent when they were unstructured. When it visited in 2016, Ofsted found that Hethersett Academy was an 'Outstanding' 11-16 secondary school. Most pupils are White British, with a smaller than average proportion coming from minority ethnic backgrounds. A smaller than average proportion of pupils speak English as an additional language, or are in care or receiving free school meals.

Hickey's Almshouses

Hickey's Almshouses are almshouses between Sheen Road and St Mary's Grove in Richmond, London. A plaque over the entrance records that the almshouses were built "for Ten poor Men and Ten poor Women by the bounty of William Hickey Esq. Who by his Will bequeathed certain Lands and houses in Richmond in Trust for Charitable purposes". William Hickey, who died in 1727 and is buried in an altar tomb in the churchyard of St Mary Magdalene, Richmond, left the income of several properties on Richmond Hill, including The Wick, in trust to provide pensions for six men and ten women. In 1822 the charity's funds were boosted by a major donation by Elizabeth Doughty. Twenty almshouses, designed by Lewis Vulliamy, in Neo-Tudor style with high chimneys, were built in 1834 from the trust's income. These are Grade II* listed and Historic England's listing also extends to the site's chapel (which is dedicated to St Francis), also built in 1834 and its two gate lodges. A later block of almshouses, built in 1851 in the same style as the main quadrangle, is listed at Grade II. The property, which includes another 29 buildings behind the almshouses, now consists of 49 flats and cottages, a laundry and a workshop. The almshouses are managed by The Richmond Charities. New residents are accepted from 65 years of age. Chapel of St Francis The chapel, which was enlarged in 1863 by Arthur Blomfield, is dedicated to St Francis of Assisi. It includes a memorial tablet, dated 1874, that commemorates William Hickey.

Hickleton Hall is a Grade II* listed Georgian stately home in Hickleton, South Yorkshire, England, about 6 miles (10 km) west of Doncaster. For more than 50 years (until 2012) it was a Sue Ryder Care home. It was being converted to luxury apartments, and is now up for sale again. It was built in 1745–48 of limestone ashlar with graduated slate roofs. The main range has a seven-bay frontage with flanking pavilions. History In the 16th century a house called Hickleton Palace stood on the site, built for Judge Francis Rodes. The present Hall was built in 1745–1748, just to the south of the original house, designed by the architect James Paine for Godfrey Wentworth of Woolley, near Barnsley, who had bought the estate in about 1730. He had the house extended in about 1775 with the addition of two low wings on either side and a servants wing. He died in 1789 and the Hall was inherited by his grandson, Godfrey Wentworth Armytage, who changed his name to Godfrey Wentworth Wentworth. He was appointed High Sheriff of Yorkshire for 1796–1797. When his banking business failed he was forced to sell the property. It was bought in 1828 by Sir Francis Wood, 2nd Baronet of Hemsworth and Garrowby, and on his death in 1846 passed to his son Charles Wood, 3rd Baronet (1800–1885). Charles Wood was MP for Grimsby, Wareham, Halifax and Ripon. He was Chancellor of the Exchequer 1846–1852 and created Viscount Halifax in 1866. He died in 1885 at the Hall, which was then inherited by his son Charles Lindley Wood (1839–1934), the 2nd Viscount and on his death by his son, Edward Wood, the 3rd Viscount Halifax, who was Viceroy of India from 1926 to 1929, Foreign Secretary from 1938 to 1940 and created Earl of Halifax in 1944. In the Second World War the house was the headquarters of I Corps after the Dunkirk evacuation in May 1940. The Halifax family preferred their estate at Garrowby to Hickleton and in 1947 sold the contents of Hickleton Hall and leased the premises as a girls' school, St Hilda's Church of England school run by members of the Order of the Holy Paraclete Convent). From 1961 to 2012 the hall and the immediate parkland were run by Sue Ryder Care as a Sue Ryder Home. The house was offered for sale in 2015.

Highfield Country Park

Highfield Country Park is a 70-acre (280,000 m2) area of open land, situated on the east side of Levenshulme, Manchester, that stretches to the east of Broom Avenue across to the rear of Reddish Golf Course and to the junction of Longford Road, Reddish and Nelstrop Road, Levenshulme. Prior to 2004, the park was jointly maintained by Manchester City Council and a group of volunteers called The Friends of Highfield Park. In July 2004 the park came to the attention of the Prudential Grass Roots campaign (run by the BTCV conservation charity). Over a 12-month period the park was transformed from a dreary, vandalised wasteland into a country park with a picnic area and mapped out country walks. In 2008 Highfield Country Park was designated a Local Nature Reserve, providing a protected habitat for many animal and plant species. History of the site The land was used to extract clay for the manufacture of bricks for the building industry. The clay pit and brickworks existed at the start of the 20th century, and by the 1950s was being operated by the Jackson Brick Company. In the 1970s, it was designated as a country park by the council, but at the time it was little more than a landfill site and sometime site of the UCP tripe factory, Levenshulme Dye and Bleach works, High Field Farm, and Jackson's brickworks. The latter's clay pit was much used by local children as a play area known as "The Brickie". “The excavations were dotted with numerous ponds & small lakes, and it is likely that some children were badly injured while playing there” References External links Highfield Country Park
Highgate Park

Highgate Park is a public park in Highgate, Birmingham, England. Highgate Park stands on land that was originally owned by Elizabeth Hollier, who used it for grazing. When Elizabeth died her will stated that the land was to be used for charity. The four fields were to be rented out, and twelve poor people of Aston Parish and twelve poor people of Birmingham Parish were to be clothed with the money each year. In 1875, the Trustees of Elizabeth Hollier's Charity wanted to develop the land for industry, but Birmingham Corporation bought it for a park. The part of the park near Alcester Street was later asphalted to serve as a playground. Highgate Park was also home to Birmingham's King Edward VII Memorial, but that was moved to the city centre in 2011. Alongside the park, is the 'Paragon Hotel'. This was originally a Rowton House for single working men. It is now attracting business people attending the many conventions in Birmingham and tourists visiting the city.
