St Mary's and All Saints' Church, Checkley

St Mary's and All Saints' Church is an Anglican church in the village of Checkley, Staffordshire, England. It is a Grade I listed building. The oldest parts of the building are 12th-century, with later medieval and 17th-century work. Description The lower storey of the tower is 12th-century, the later upper part being in Perpendicular style. The south door, protected by a porch, is of about 1300. The nave has four bays, and the clerestory windows above are 17th-century. The north arcade is 13th-century, and the round-arched north aisle windows are 17th-century. The south arcade is taller than the north arcade; although parts are of the 12th century, it was later remodelled. The pointed chancel arch is early 13th-century. The chancel, of four bays, is late 13th-century; the pointed five-light east window and three-light side windows have intersecting tracery. The glass in the chancel is 14th-century. The font is a cylindrical bowl on a shaft, both 12th-century. The bowl is decorated with low relief carvings: there is a Lamb of God on an altar, with panels around the bowl containing irregular patterns of triangles. Anglo-Scandinavian stone crosses In the churchyard, south of the church, are three early medieval stone crosses; they are close together and are thought to be standing in or near their original positions. There is a tradition that the crosses were erected in memory of three bishops killed in a battle near the village. They are regarded as among the finest Anglo-Scandinavian crosses in Staffordshire. They each have a tapering, rectangular section, each being part of a longer cross-shaft. The southern cross (height 1.6 metres (5.2 ft)) and central cross (height 1.35 metres (4.4 ft)) are decorated on all four sides; there are full-length human figures and plaitwork patterns, on panels separated on the southern cross with curved divisions, on the central cross with straight divisions. The northern cross (height 1.43 metres (4.7 ft)) is undecorated. See also Grade I listed churches in Staffordshire References
Церковь Святой Марии и Всех Святых (Чекли)

Церковь Святой Марии и Всех Святых (англ. St Mary's and All Saints' Church, Checkley) — англиканская церковь в деревне Чекли района Стаффордшир-Мурлендс (графство Стаффордшир); самые древние части здания относятся к XII веку — более поздние были построены в период Средневековья и в XVII веке; является памятником архитектуры I класса с 1967 года. История и описание Нижний уровень башни-колокольни церкви Святой Марии и Всех Святых в Чекли относится к XII веку; более поздняя, верхняя часть, была построена уже в «перпендикулярном» (готическом) стиле. Южная дверь, защищенного крыльцом портала, была создана около 1300 года. Неф храма разделён на четыре части, а окна на его верхнем ярусе относятся к XVII веку. Южная галерея выше северной — хотя обе они отчасти относятся к XII веку, позднее они были перестроены. Остроконечная арка, завершающая алтарь с востока, была возведена в начале XIII века. Витражное стекло в алтарных окнах было создано в XIV веке; купель в церкви Марии представляет собой цилиндрическую чашу XII века, украшенную резьбой с Агнцом Божьим и треугольными узорами. На кладбище к югу от церкви находятся три каменных креста периода раннего Средневековья; они находятся близко друг к другу и исследователи полагают, что они стоят в своих первоначальных местах или рядом с ними. Существует местная легенда, согласно которой кресты были воздвигнуты в память о трех епископах, погибших в битве, проходившей рядом с деревней. Данные кресты считаются одними из лучших среди сохранившихся англо-скандинавских крестов в графстве Стаффордшир. Южный крест имеет высоту в 1,6 метра (5,2 фута), центральный — 1,35 метра (4,4 фута), а северный — 1,43 метра (4,7 фута).

Downham Fields

Downham Fields is a 20-acre park located in Downham, South East London. It is sometimes referred to in documents by the name Durham Hill, but this is not in common usage. It was left as parkland during the construction of the interwar Downham Estate because its steep hill made building difficult. The park's height and west-facing slope provides views to Croydon, Crystal Palace and Sydenham. Facilities In 2007, part of the park was used to create Downham Health and Leisure Centre, which includes a swimming pool, gym, GP surgery and library. The park also includes an outdoor play area for children. References
Oakwood Park, Enfield

Oakwood Park is a public park in Oakwood, in the London Borough of Enfield, on land that was formerly part of Enfield Chase. It opened in 1929 and comprises 64 acres of land. It is notable for its commemorative avenue of poplar trees, an avenue of scarlet oaks planted by mayors of Enfield, and an ice well that was built by Samuel Sugden, on whose estate of Oak Lodge the park was largely built and after which it was named. Location Oakwood Park is located immediately to the east of the Piccadilly Line between Oakwood and Southgate stations. There are entrances from Saxon Way, Prince George Avenue, Oakwood Crescent, Willow Walk, Oakwood Avenue and Oakwood Park Road. Creation The park is on land that was formerly part of Enfield Chase, a royal hunting ground. The Chase was enclosed in 1777 and subsequently divided between the King and the freeholders of the neighbouring parishes with the land now occupied by the park allocated to Edmonton parish, of which Southgate was then a part. In the late 1860s, the merchant Samuel Sugden (c.1800-1896) purchased a farm and farmhouse in the area, probably the one marked on an 1822 Ordnance Survey map as Oak Farm. He rebuilt the house into a much more substantial residence known as Oak Lodge with a walled garden, orchard, ice well, and a collection of outbuildings. The Lodge and outbuildings were demolished just after the end of the First World War and in 1927 Southgate Urban District Council purchased 50 acres from Sugden's estate which it combined with 8.5 acres it purchased from the Vicar of Enfield to form Oakwood Park. The park opened in 1929 and after further adjustments caused by the construction of the Piccadilly Line northern extension (1932) now comprises 64 acres of land. The ice well still exists as do some of the original field boundaries dating from Sugden's time. Features The park features a grove of poplar trees planted to mark the coronation of King George VI and an avenue of scarlet oak trees which was planted by successive mayors of the Borough of Enfield since 1945. As with other parks of the time, such as that were The Chickenshed Theatre in Cockfosters now stands, there was an aviary. Some paving can be found among trees where it probably once stood, when leaf litter is brushed away. It was vandalised in around the 70's or 80's and some of the birds were killed, the aviary was removed and not replaced. A surface WW2 air raid shelter, brick built with concrete slab roof survives. Both of these located just south of the tennis courts. There is a tea room or cafe. Gallery References Further reading "Oakwood Park" in Tom Mason (1947) The Story of Southgate.

Priory Road drill hall, Hornsey

The Priory Road drill hall is a military installation at Hornsey in London. History Before 1888, the Territorial Force in Hornsey used a small drill-hall at Crouch End. From 1888 they moved to the National hall on Hornsey High Street. This building was in use until in 1896 when The Elms, an old house on the site of the current drill hall was bought as headquarters for the 3rd Middlesex Rifle Volunteers. By 1903, the old house had been extended to form the first a drill-hall. In 1908, the Hornsey unit became the 7th Battalion, The Middlesex Regiment. The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to the Western Front. The drill hall was completely rebuilt in 1936. Following the cut-backs in 1967, the presence at the drill hall was reduced to one company, B Company 6th / 7th (Volunteer) Battalion, the Queen's Regiment, in 1975 and B (Albuhera) Company, 8th Battalion The Queen's Fusiliers in 1988. After the London Regiment (1993) was formed in 1992, the presence at the drill hall was further reduced to a single rifle platoon from B (Queen's Regiment) Company, the London Regiment: the building remains an active Army Reserve Centre.

Central Hill Estate

Central Hill is a social housing estate in the London Borough of Lambeth. It was designed by Rosemary Stjernstedt, Roger Westman and the Lambeth Council planning department during the directorship of Ted Hollamby. It comprises more than 450 homes built in 1966-74 near the site of the former Crystal Palace. Lambeth Council plans to demolish the estate so that it can build an extra 400 homes, many for private sale, so that it can finance the construction of new social housing. Lambeth Council contends that homes suffer from damp and that the design of the estate encourages crime. Residents say that the crime rate is less than average and that problems with the buildings are the result of lack of maintenance by the council. Architects PRP were appointed to explore redevelopment options for the estate in 2015 and on March 24, 2017, Lambeth Council reached a decision to completely demolish the estate. Campaign group Architects For Social Housing have been working with residents to develop an alternative regeneration plan for the estate, and residents continue to oppose the demolition of the estate. History Central Hill Estate was built in two phases by Lambeth Council in 1967-1974. Rosemary Stjernstedt was brought in by Hollamby from the LCC and Ted Happold from Arup & Partners to advise on structural engineering. The design is celebrated by architecture scholars such as Owen Hatherley who described it as "a perfect modernist suburb, the finest of its kind south of the river". In 2016, Historic England was criticised by the Twentieth Century Society for its decision to not list the estate for its historical value. The Society added the estate to its Risk List of architecture at risk of being lost in 2017. Description The 162 flats and 212 houses are laid out in terraces of pale grey brick. It was conceived as a holistic community which epitomised the cradle to grave welfare state mentality of its designers and included a nurses' hostel, a day centre for the elderly and a doctors' surgery.

William Perkin Church of England High School

William Perkin Church of England High School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in the Greenford area of London, England. History The school was established in 2013. It is a free school sponsored by the Twyford Church of England Academies Trust. The school is named for scientist Sir William Perkin, a pioneer of the chemical industry and discoverer of the dye mauveine, whose factory was nearby. The school has a mauve school uniform as a tribute to him. In July 2017, a 13-year-old student who attended the school, Karanbir Cheema, died after having a severe allergic reaction at his school in West London on 28 June 2017. Cheema was severely allergic to wheat, gluten, all dairy products, eggs and all nuts. The Metropolitan Police Service arrested an unnamed 13-year-old student who also attended the school on suspicion of attempted murder. Reportedly, the unnamed student had thrown a piece of cheese at Cheema. However, all charges against the unnamed student were eventually dropped. A Coroner's inquest into the circumstances surrounding the death of Cheema ruled that the main factor in his death was his severe allergy. The ruling also called for schools to better educate pupils to the dangers of allergies and for care plans for children with allergies to be 'beefed up'. In September 2018, the school hosted students of Ada Lovelace Church of England High School, another Twyford Academies Trust member, for two cohorts, and who have now been relocated to a new school site.

Уиндзорски замък

Замъкът Уиндзор в гр. Уиндзор, Бъркшир, Англия, е една от най-посещаваните исторически забележителности в Англия. Един от символите и стожерите на британската национална идентичност, Уиндзор е най-старият замък във Великобритания, а със своите 1000 стаи и най-големият обитаван замък в света. Кралица Елизабет Втора е прекарала голяма част от детството си тук, затова не е изненадващо, че нейните почитатели споделят мъката ѝ, когато през 1992, нейната annus horribilis (ужасна година), един опустошителен пожар частично унищожава 100 стаи в апартаментите за церемониално и лично ползване. Възстановителните работи на стойност 53 милиона долара завършиха през 1997, с участието на мнозина занаятчии и прилагане на същите техники, използвани при началото на строежа на замъка от Уилям Завоевателя преди 900 години. Оттогава тук са живели 8 последователни кралски династии. През 1916 крал Джордж V приема името на мястото от обич към него и за да разграничи кралската фамилия от нейните германски корени (династия Сакс-Кобург и Гота). Най-интересните неща, които могат да се видят в замъка Уиндзор, са смяната на караула, която се извършва дори когато кралицата не е в резиденцията (макар и с по-малка пищност и кралски знаци); „Кукленият дом“ на кралица Мери, един изключителен замък в миниатюра (всичко е дванадесеткратно умалено), проектиран през 1923 г. от архитекта сър Едуин Лътиънс; архитектурната перла от 16 в. – параклисът „Сейнт Джордж“ (Свети Георги), който заедно с Уестминстърското абатство е пантеон на много английски монарси. Под плоския гроб на нивото на земята в центъра е подземната гробница на Хенри VIII и неговата трета съпруга – Джейн Сиймур. В параклиса се провеждат и церемониите, свързани с Ордена на жартиерата. Замъкът Уиндзор се намира на 34 км западно от Лондон. Източници „1000 места, които е добре да видите, преди да умрете“ – Патриша Щулц.

Windsori kastély

A windsori kastély az Egyesült Királyságban, Berkshire megyében található. A világ legnagyobb jelenleg is használt kastélya, I. Vilmos angol király korából maradt fenn. A kastély területe körülbelül 45 000 m². A londoni Buckingham-palotával és az edinburghi Holyroodhouse-palotával egyetemben a windsori kastély egyike a brit királyi család legfontosabb rezidenciáinak. II. Erzsébet brit királynő az év sok hétvégéjén töltötte szabadidejét a kastélyban. Hivatalos és privát ügyeit egyaránt itt intézte. A brit uralkodó másik két rezidenciája, a balmorali kastély és a sandringhami kastély, a királyi család privát lakhelyei. Anglia, illetve az Egyesült Királyság legtöbb királyának és királynéjának hatása volt a kastély építésére és fejlesztésére. A történelem során a windsori kastély egyaránt volt helyőrség, erőd, otthon, királyi székhely és börtön is. Az évek során a kastély története és a brit monarchia elválaszthatatlanul összefonódtak. Amikor az országban éppen nyugalom volt, akkor a kastélyt folyamatosan bővítették hatalmas termekkel, grandiózus apartmanokkal. Amikor háborúk dúltak, Windsor védelmét megerősítették. Ez napjainkig így folytatódik. Építészet A Windsor kastély területe 52.609 négyzetméter (13.000 angol hold), az épület egyesíti az erődítmény, a palota és a kisváros jellemzőit. A ma ismert kastély lépcsőzetes építési projektek sorozata során jött létre, amelyek az 1992-es tűzvész utáni újjáépítési munkálatokban csúcsosodtak ki. Lényegében egy györgy és viktoriánus kori dizájn, amely egy középkori szerkezetre épül. Gótikus jegyeket mutat modern környezetben. A 14. század óta a kastély építészete a régebbi divatok és a hagyományos kortárs újraértelmezésére törekszik. William Whitfield építész szerint a Windsori kastély "fiktív minőségű" épület. A gótikus dizájn pedig "olyan érzést kelt mintha színházi előadás díszleteiben járnánk." Bár számos kritika érte, a kastély építészete és történelme a legnagyobb európai paloták közé emeli. Szent György-kápolna A kastélykápolnát eredetileg a 14. században alapította III. Eduárd angol király, a 15. század végén pedig nagymértékben kibővítették. Számos királyi istentisztelet, esküvő és különösen a 19. és 20. században temetkezés helyszíne volt. Bár a 15. századból számos uralkodót és házastársát temették el itt, csak a 19. században lett a Szent György-kápolna és a közeli Frogmore-kertek a brit királyi család választott temetkezési helye.
