Lilburn Tower

Lilburn Tower est un manoir du XIXe siècle situé à Lilburn, près de Wooler, dans le Northumberland. La propriété est un bâtiment classé Grade II * et fait partie du domaine Lilburn. Un certain nombre de bâtiments et de monuments discrets sont disséminés dans le parc, notamment le Hurlestone, la tour Hurlestone et un observatoire astronomique. Histoire Les anciens manoirs d'East et West Lilburn sont unis lorsque les deux sont achetés séparément par John Clennell de la famille Clennel de Clennell Hall vers 1700. Les vestiges de l'ancien manoir du XVe siècle, connu sous le nom de West Lilburn Tower, qui incorpore une tour pele, sont classés monument historique et protégés par le statut de bâtiment classé Grade II. À la mort de Thomas Clennel, le domaine est dévolu à son neveu, Henry Collingwood, qui est haut shérif de Northumberland en 1793 . Le domaine est légué à Henry John William Collingwood de Cornhill dans les années 1820, et en 1828, il commence la construction de l'imposant nouveau manoir de style élisabéthain conçu par l'architecte John Dobson. La maison, connue sous le nom de Lilburn Tower, est finalement achevée en 1842 pour un coût d'environ 25 000 £. Collingwood lui-même conçoit le parc et les jardins. Il est haut shérif de Northumberland en 1832. Le 3 janvier 1829, la première pierre de l'hôtel particulier est posée lors d'une cérémonie élaborée sous la direction de l'architecte. Une capsule témoin de divers objets est déposée sous la pierre : "deux récipients en verre, l'un contenant les différentes pièces de monnaie du règne de George IV, l'autre un journal du 3 janvier, ainsi qu'un MS contenant les noms suivants : - "Robert Hall, Alnwick, maçon ; Thomas Wallace and Sons, Newcastle, charpentiers et menuisiers ; Ralph Dodds, Newcastle, plâtrier ; Robert Wallace, greffier des travaux." Les deux capsules sont scellés aux armes de Collingwood." . En 1842, peu de temps après la mort d'Henry, le domaine est vendu à son parent Edward John Collingwood (1815–1895) d'Eglingham, neveu de l'amiral Cuthbert Collingwood. Son fils, le colonel Cuthbert Collingwood (1848–1933) et son petit-fils Edward Foyle Collingwood, haut shérif en 1937, en sont plus tard les propriétaires. La maison et le domaine appartiennent maintenant à Duncan Davidson, le fondateur des constructeurs de maisons Persimmon plc .

Morpeth Court

Morpeth Court is a former judicial structure on Castle Bank, Morpeth, Northumberland, England. The structure, which used to be the entrance block for a prison as well as the main courthouse for the area, is a Grade II* listed building. History The original custodial facility for the area was Morpeth Castle which was used for incarcerating criminals from at least the early 16th century. When this arrangement became inadequate, the local lord of the manor, Charles Howard, 3rd Earl of Carlisle, made a site on Bridge Street available and a new prison opened there on 30 November 1704. The Bridge Street Prison was refurbished in 1774 but, by the early 19th century, it was also inadequate and it was converted into a private house. The proposed layout for the site on Castle Bank involved an octagonal outer wall, a rectangular prison building at the centre of the site and an entrance block at the front breaking the outer wall at that point. The complex was designed by John Dobson in the Gothic Revival style, built in ashlar stone at a cost of £71,000 and was completed in November 1828. The design of the entrance block involved a symmetrical main frontage of three bays facing onto Castle Bank. The central bay, which was recessed, featured an arched opening on the ground floor, a bi-partite mullioned and transomed window on the first floor and a panel bearing a carving of the borough coat of arms on the second floor. The outer bays, which featured canted corners, were fenestrated with small diamond-paned windows on the ground floor, lancet windows on the first floor and pairs of closely-set lancet windows on the second floor. There were towers projecting from the side elevations and the roof was heavily castellated. The entrance block contained an imperial staircase leading up to a semi-circular courtroom above. The courtroom was first used for a county meeting to discuss the Reform Bill in February 1831 and was first used for the quarter sessions in April 1832. Following the implementation of the Capital Punishment Amendment Act 1868, which abolished the practice of public executions, Richard Charlton, who had been convicted of murdering his wife, became the first person to be executed inside the prison in December 1875. After prisoners were transferred to Newcastle Gaol, which had also been designed by Dobson, the prison closed in 1881. The prison block was demolished in the late 19th century and a police station was built on that part of the site. The entrance block, which became known as The Courthouse, continued to be used as a magistrates' court until hearings moved to Bedlington in 1980. It was then sold, for a nominal sum, to a developer who converted it into a nightclub. After the night-club became a magnet for young late-night trouble-makers, it closed in 1990. The courtroom was then used as a ladies-only health club from in 1998 until 2006. The building was marketed for sale in 2007 and subsequently converted into apartments.

RFA Sir Tristram

TV Sir Tristram (L3505) formerly RFA Sir Tristram, is a Round Table-class landing ship logistics that was converted to a Special Forces Training Vessel in 2008. She was launched in 1966, and accepted into British Army service in 1967. As with others of her class, she was transferred to the Royal Fleet Auxiliary in 1970, and was crewed by British officers and Hong Kong Chinese sailors. The ship saw service in the Falklands War of 1982, and was badly damaged at Fitzroy on 8 June. Early service From completion to early 1970 Sir Tristram was managed by British India Steam Navigation Company. In January 1972 Sir Tristram was part of an anti-invasion task force off British Honduras, together with HMS Fearless, RFA Sir Bedivere and RFA Sir Geraint. In 1977 Sir Tristram was used as a guest ship for the Queens Silver Jubilee Fleet Review at Spithead in the Solent. Falklands War In April 1982 Sir Tristram was diverted from Belize to the Falkland Islands to take part in Operation Corporate, the British effort to retake the Falkland Islands. On 8 June, while transporting men and equipment to Fitzroy Cove alongside the Sir Galahad, Sir Tristram was attacked by Douglas A-4 Skyhawks of the Argentine Air Force's V Brigada Aérea (FAA), each loaded with three 500 lb (230 kg) Mark 82 bombs. At approximately 14:00 local time the decks were strafed and two crew were killed. A 500 lb bomb penetrated the deck, but failed to explode immediately, allowing the remaining crew to be evacuated. Following the later explosion, Sir Tristram was abandoned. Immediately following the end of the conflict, Sir Tristram was towed to Port Stanley, where she was used as an accommodation ship. Sir Tristram then returned to the United Kingdom in 1983 on a heavy-lift ship and was extensively rebuilt. Rebuilt Following the rebuild, Sir Tristram re-entered active service in 1985, and saw service in the Gulf War, and the Balkan conflicts of the 1990s. The ship supported relief operations for Hurricane Mitch off Central America. In 2000 the ship was deployed to Sierra Leone in support of British operations there, followed by a cruise to the Baltic Sea in support of mine countermeasure vessels. In early 2001 Sir Tristram returned to Sierra Leone to take over from RFA Sir Percivale as the ship supporting British forces ashore there. In 2003 the ship was deployed as part of the largest British fleet for 20 years in support of the invasion of Iraq. The ship was decommissioned on 17 December 2005 but continues to be used for training purposes by the Special Boat Service and other elements of the UK Special Forces group. She is now based at Portland Harbour. As of 2022 the plan was to extend the life of Sir Tristram to 2026. References External links

RFA Sir Tristram (L3505)

La RFA Sir Tristram è stata una nave della marina britannica, appartenente alla Royal Fleet Auxiliary, della classe Round Table, varata nel 1966 e gravemente danneggiata durante l'attacco aereo argentino a Bluff Cove nel corso della guerra delle Falkland. Carriera L'affondamento L'8 giugno in mattinata le RFA Sir Galahad e Sir Tristram raggiunsero l'ancoraggio di Bluff Cove per poter sbarcare le Welsh Guards della 5 Infantry Brigade venute a rinforzare la posizione a sud est di Port Stanley; gli ufficiali delle Guardie, nonostante fossero stati invitati a sbarcare i loro uomini con urgenza, anche avvalendosi di un mezzo da sbarco parzialmente carico di munizioni o venendo sbarcate sulla sponda opposta della baia, a Fitzroy, attraverso altre imbarcazioni, rifiutarono. Alle 13 circa, le navi vennero attaccate e colpite da due voli di A4B Skyhawk del Grupo 5.; degli iniziali 6 aerei decollati uno tornò indietro per problemi di rifornimento, ma dei cinque rimasti, tre attaccarono la Sir Galahad che venne colpita dal tenente Carlos Cachón con tre bombe da 500 kg, mentre gli altri due colpirono la Sir Tristram; oltre ai 50 morti a bordo, molti furono i feriti ustionati dal fosforo delle bombe di mortaio trasportate a bordo della Sir Galahad; la maggior parte delle perdite si ebbe a bordo di questa ultima, mentre sulla Sir Tristram vi fu un bilancio relativamente esiguo. La Sir Galahad, ormai inservibile, venne silurata ed affondata dal sottomarino HMS Onyx, un diesel-elettrico della classe Oberon, ed è oggi riconosciuta come cimitero di guerra, mentre la Sir Tristram, sebbene gravemente danneggiata, venne trasportata in Gran Bretagna e ricostruita, e servì anche nella prima guerra del golfo. La conseguenza dell'attacco fu un ritardo di due giorni nello sbarco delle forze britanniche. Radiata nel 2005, la nave a tutto il 2011 veniva utilizzata per addestramento dalle forze speciali britanniche.

Bindon, Axmouth

Bindon is a historic manor, house and estate in the parish of Axmouth in Devon, England. The house is a grade II* listed building. History Bindon was acquired from Nicholas Bach by Roger Wyke (died c. 1467) (alias Wykes, Wycke, Wick, Wicks, Weeke, etc.) a member of parliament for Plympton Erle (UK Parliament constituency) in 1413, a younger son of William Wyke of North Wyke in the parish of South Tawton in Devon. On 16 July 1425 he was licensed by Edmund Lacey, Bishop of Exeter to "have a chapel within his Manor House of Bindon, in the Parish of Axmouth," as is stated in the Episcopal register. Roger's great-grandson Richard Wyke died without male progeny, leaving four daughters and co-heiresses. The youngest of these was Mary Wyke who married Walter Erle (died 1581) of Colcombe in the parish of Colyton in Devon, an officer of the Privy Chamber to two wives of King Henry VIII, to his son King Edward VI and the latter's sisters Queen Mary I and Queen Elizabeth I. Erle purchased the manor of Axmouth following the Dissolution of Syon Monastery of which it had been a possession. Thus Bindon passed to the Erle family, with other former Wyke lands including Charborough in Dorset. After four further generations in the Erle family eventually it passed by a series of heiresses to the Drax family which sold it. In 1962, the estate was purchased by Sir John Loveridge, the former Member of Parliament for the constituencies of Hornchurch (1970–1974) and Upminster (1974–1983). He died in 2007, but the estate remains in the ownership of his family. Manor house The manor house dates from the 15th century, but was extensively rebuilt in the 16th century and has a mid-20th century extension. It has two stories plus attics and is constructed in stone rubble with freestone dressings and a slate roof.

Church of St Edmund, Mansfield Woodhouse

The Church of St Edmund (also known as St Edmund's or St Edmund King & Martyr) stands in the town of Mansfield Woodhouse, in Nottinghamshire, England. It is an active Church of England parish church in the deanery of Mansfield, the Archdeaconry of Newark, and the Southwell and Nottingham diocese. Its benefice has two churches — St Edmund's as the main parish church along with Church of St Chad, Pleasley Vale. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. St Edmund's Church is partnered with nearby St Edmund's C of E Primary School. In the 1980s the school moved to a site at Church Hill Avenue, Mansfield Woodhouse. The original building, on Welbeck Road leading down from the church, still stands and is Grade II listed. The Turner Memorial Hall, opposite the church on Church Street, serves as St Edmund's church hall, a community centre and headquarters of St Edmund's scout group. History Although the church is not mentioned in the Domesday Book, it is possible that a wooden church existed at Mansfield Woodhouse in the 11th century which was destroyed by fire in 1180. A church, part timber and part local limestone, was built in 1190. A fire destroyed the village and much of the church in 1304. Work on rebuilding the church started soon after the fire in 1306. The fire is commemorated with an Appliqué wall hanging depicting the village and church burning (2004). The church was reconstructed in 1804-1810 and subsequently heavily restored in 1847-1850. This restoration was traditionally attributed to George Gilbert Scott. Pevsner was not particularly impressed by the work, describing the result in the Nottinghamshire volume of his Buildings of England series as, "neither original nor sensitive". He took particular exception to the spire of the tower, calling it "very odd" and noting the lucarne windows were "so tiny that they look from a distance like a spikey finial". Pevsner followed tradition and ascribed the building's mid-19th century reconstruction to Scott. During an assessment of the pews in St Edmund's Church by Historic England in 2007, the nineteenth century restorations of the building were re-attributed to W B Moffatt and T C Hine, rather than to Scott. External features The churchyard surrounds the church on all four sides, with numerous mature trees and stone boundary walls to all sides. The boundary wall facing Church Street is Grade II listed. The churchyard contains three gravestones and a sarcophagus which are all Grade II listed. The First World War memorial linked to the church also has a Grade II listing and stands opposite the church on Priory Road at the entrance to Yeoman Hill Park.

Cofton Hall

Cofton Hall is a country house on the Lickey Hills near Cofton Hackett, in the Bromsgrove District of north east Worcestershire, England. It is a Grade II* listed building. Most of the original 14th-century building has been destroyed, by a deliberate fire during the English Civil War after a visit by King Charles I; however, the hall with a hammer-beam roof survives. The rest of the building was constructed in the 18th century. History The 14th-century hall was originally a timber-framed house. The stone walls were added in the Victorian era. King Charles I stayed at the hall on the night of 14 May 1645 as guest of the owner, Thomas Jolliffe, during the English Civil War. The following day, before marching to Chester on 15 May, the Royalist soldiers set the hall ablaze to prevent it falling into the hands of the Parliamentarian Army. Only the great hall survived. Architecture The three-storey six-bay building has a tiled roof. The entrance has a portico with two doric columns. The west wing encloses the hall with a hammer-beam roof. The old hall is 38 feet (12 m) long and 21 feet (6.4 m) wide. The roof has nine hammer-beams with spandrel brackets. These rest on octagonal corbels of wood. Each side of the roof has three compartments divided by purlins. Beneath the house, and extending beyond their walls are a series of corridors and chambers, totalling more than 200 feet (61 m). This includes a series of "streams", one brick wide and one brick high, which provide a cooling system to three of the chambers. These drain into a sump about 100 yards (91 m) from the house. The area around the house are the remains of the foundations of older buildings. References
Tuckers Hall

Tuckers Hall, the Guildhall of the Incorporation of Weavers, Fullers and Shearmen, is an historic building in Exeter, Devon, built in 1471. It is a Grade II* listed building. The building was described by Pevsner as 'a remarkable survival'. History The cloth workers' guilds that met at Tuckers Hall since its construction were incorporated into the Incorporation of Weavers, Fullers and Shearmen by Royal Charter in 1620. The building has a distinctive Gothic street frontage of mainly Heavitree stone. The upper floor features 17th century oak panelling and furniture. The ground floor was used as a school from 1675 to 1841. The Hall was then let to the Freemasons from 1842 to 1875. The lower hall was then let for use as a Sunday school for a peppercorn rent. The incorporation continues to meet at Tuckers Hall today, having widened its membership after Exeter's cloth trade declined by the mid-19th century. References
