Howick Hall

Howick Hall est un monument classé Grade II situé à Howick en Angleterre. Siège ancestral des comtes Grey, elle a été la maison du premier ministre Charles, 2e comte Grey (1764–1845) qui y est mort. Le lieu reste connu pour ses jardins et son arboretum. Histoire Howick appartient à la famille Gray depuis 1319. Une maison-tour, qui se trouvait autrefois sur le site et a été démolie en 1780. Le Hall a été construit en 1782 par l'architecte de Newcastle, William Newton. L'entrée était à l'origine du côté sud. Le 2e comte Grey emploie George Wyatt en 1809 pour agrandir la maison en déplaçant l'entrée du côté nord, en remplissant le hall d'entrée et les deux quadrants reliant la maison à ses ailes, et en construisant la première terrasse du côté sud. Un incendie détruit tout l'intérieur de la maison principale en 1926, avec tout le contenu des deux derniers étages. Elle est reconstruite en 1928 selon les plans de Herbert Baker, qui modifie la façade nord en introduisant un portique au-dessus du hall d'entrée afin de rendre la maison plus petite avec un puits ouvert au milieu, avec une rotonde reliant l'avant et l'arrière sur le rez-de-chaussée. La famille Grey quitte la maison principale peu de temps après la mort de Charles Grey, 5e comte Grey en 1963. En 1973, son petit-fils, Charles Baring, 2e baron Howick de Glendale, convertit l'aile ouest en une maison.

Howtown Hotel

Howtown Hotel is a hotel in Howtown, Cumbria, England, located near the southern shore of the Ullswater lake. Although it won the César Award for Best Hotel in 1991 by The Good Hotel Guide, Lonely Planet describes the hotel as "bewitchingly backwards" with early 20th century decor. As of 2001, the hotel contained 10 double rooms, 2 single rooms and 4 self-catering cottages. It has been run by four generations of the Baldry family since it opened in 1903.

Hoxton Square

Hoxton Square ist ein begrünter Gartenplatz (engl. garden square) in Hoxton im Stadtbezirk Hackney von London. Der Platz wurde 1683 angelegt und gilt als einer der ältesten garden squares in ganz London. Nachdem an der Stelle lange Industrie angesiedelt war, wurde er in den 1990ern zum Herzen der lokalen Kunst- und Medienszene. Seit 2000 beherbergen die weitgehend viktorianischen Gebäude um den Platz verschiedene Bars, Restaurants und Clubs. Geschichte Der Platz wurde von Samuel Blewitt und Robert Hackshaw angelegt, die das Gelände 1683 von der Familie Austen pachteten. Der Hoxton Square war lange ein beliebter Wohnort für die Händlerklasse und für Personen mit abweichenden Ansichten. So bot der Sandemanianer Samuel Pike, der hier wohnte, ab 1750 theologische Unterweisungen an. Hier befand sich auch die liberal-nokonformistische „Hoxton Square Academy“, die 1785 schloss. Bis 2012 war die Kunstgalerie „White Cube“ hier angesiedelt. Bekannte Anwohner Der christliche Theologe John Thomas, Gründer der Christadelphianbewegung, wurde 1805 am Hoxton Square geboren. 1810 wohnte Peter Durand hier, der das erste englische Patent für Konservendosen einreichte. Einer der Bewohner des Hoxton Square des 18. Jahrhunderts, der in seinen jüngeren Jahren im Sklavenhandel tätige Abolitionist und Pastor John Newton, komponierte die populäre Hymne Amazing Grace. Der Arzt James Parkinson (1755–1824), der An Essay on the Shaking Palsy verfasste und damit erstmals die Parkinson-Krankheit beschrieb, hatte eine Praxis im Gebäude 1 Hoxton Square, wo heute eine Plakette an sein Wirken erinnert.

Hoxton Square

Hoxton Square is a public garden square in the Hoxton area in the London Borough of Hackney. Laid out in 1683, it is thought to be one of the oldest in London. Since the 1990s it has been at the heart of the Hoxton national (digital and design) arts and media hub, as well as hosting entertainment, with globally eclectic musicians, actors and dancers. Most of the square's buildings, quite tall for the Victorian age, diverge in use, with many floors converted to bars, restaurants and offices and at least one live music club of note. One of the square's 18th-century residents, Rev. John Newton, composed the popular hymn "Amazing Grace". History Hoxton Square was laid out by Samuel Blewitt and Robert Hackshaw, who leased the land from the Austen family in 1683. Hoxton and Charles Squares, while upper-middle class, housed many non-conformists (with Anglicanism). From 1699 to 1729 an academy, offering a wide curriculum and also allowing "free enquiry" by its students, stood against the square. Samuel Pike, who lived in one of houses, offered theological teaching from 1750. Samuel Morton Savage opened his Hoxton Square Academy there. The academy closed in 1785. Catholic Church and School Hoxton Square is home to the Augustinian Priory, school and Church of St Monica (architect: E. W. Pugin) built 1864-66 and the first Augustinian House in England since a brief attempt at revival under Mary I of England. Culture Since the 1990s the square has become the heart of a nationally notable Hoxton arts and media scene, as well as being a hub of the thriving local entertainment district. It would be home to the Blue Note (formerly The Bass Clef), which was a key club for both the acid jazz and drum and bass scenes. Between 2000 and 2012, the south side of the square was home to the White Cube art gallery, which primarily showcased newer artists such as from the movement Young British Artists. Since the year 2000 the square's buildings, largely of Victorian vintage, have become host to bars, restaurants and offices - such as Sh! Women's Erotic Emporium. The insurance group Aviva increasingly have purchased property on the square to redevelop into what has been dubbed a "corporate campus". In 2020 a sculpture designed by the graffiti artist Stik was installed in the square. Notable people The Christian theologian John Thomas, founder of the Christadelphian movement, was born at Hoxton Square in 1805, and in 1810 the square was home to Peter Durand, who filed the first patent nationally for tinning food. One of the square's 18th-century residents, Rev. John Newton, composed the popular hymn "Amazing Grace". The parish church of St John's Hoxton is nearby, where one of Prince George's ancestors was married in the mid-19th century. James Parkinson (1755–1824), the physician and author of An Essay on the Shaking Palsy, the subject of which is now known as Parkinson's disease, was in practice at No.1, which is commemorated with a blue plaque on the site.

Levens Hall

Levens Hall je anglický venkovské sídlo v Kentu v Cumbrii, severně od Morecambe Bay. Historie Podle listiny z roku 1170 Vilém z Lancasteru postoupil pozemky v Levensu Normanovi de Hieland, ale vyhradil si právo lovu a rybolovu. Zdá se, že prvně jmenovaný přijal jméno Redland, jak napovídá jméno nedalekého Yealand Redmayne. Kolem roku 1350 byla rodinou Redmanových postavena kamenná obytná věž, která byla rozšířena v alžbětínské éře rodinou Belligham. V roce 1689 Bellinghamovi dům a panství prodali plukovníkovi Jamesi Grahmeovi nebo Grahamovi, strážci tajné pokladny krále Jakuba II, který na konci 17. století provedl řadu přístavby domu. Jeho syn Henry Graham byl rytířem hrabství Westmorland. Další přístavby byly provedeny na počátku 19. století. V roce 1833 panství patřilo kapitánu kavalerie Fulke-Greville Howardovi. Levens Hall je v rodině Bagot od doby, kdy jej Josceline Bagot (1854–1913) zdědila po jeho bezdětné pratetě Mary Abbotové. V říjnu 2021 se budova stala jedním ze 142 objektů celé Anglie, které získaly část z vládní finanční injekce ve výši 35 milionů liber z Fondu na obnovu kultury (Culture Recovery Fund). Zahrada V letech 1694–1712 založil zahradu Guillaume Beaumont, bývalý hlavní zahradník Jakuba II., který se také podílel na návrhu paláce Hampton Court. Zahrada byla rozdělena do čtyř částí podle plánu z roku 1730. Četné stromy a keře byly prořezány a tvarovány do ozdobných forem (topiary). K tvarování byly používány především tisy, z nichž se do dnešních dnů dochovalo 25 kusů. Dva z prořezávaných stromů jsou známé jako král a dáma, další jako královna Alžběta a její dvorní dámy. Nachází se zde také Soudcova paruka a Howardův lev. Většina z nich zobrazuje jednoduché geometrické tvary jako kužely nebo krychle. Ha-ha příkop byl zahrnut, aby mohlo být postaveno parkoviště. V prosinci 2021 byly zahrady představeny v seriálu BBC Gardeners' World. Galerie Odkazy Reference V tomto článku byl použit překlad textu z článku Levens Hall na anglické Wikipedii.

Levens Hall

Levens Hall ist ein englischer Landsitz am Kent in Cumbria, nördlich der Bucht von Morecambe. Geschichte Eine Urkunde von 1170 belegt, dass Wilhelm von Lancaster Norman de Hieland das Land von Levens abtrat, sich aber das Jagd- und Fischrecht vorbehielt. Es scheint, dass ersterer den Namen Redland annahm, worauf der Name des nahegelegenen Yealand Redmayne hindeutet. Ein steinerner Wohnturm mit Pallas wurde bereits im 13. Jahrhundert in Levens Hall für Matthias de Redman errichtet. 1393 legte Richard de Redman auf dem Gelände nördlich von Levens Hall einen Wildpark an. 1562 erwarb Allan Bellingham das Anwesen, vermutlich aus Mitteln, die er bei der Klosterauflösung unter Heinrich VIII. erlangt hatte. Die heute sichtbaren Gebäude stammen weitgehend aus dem 16. Jahrhundert, als die Bellinghams die Anlage erweiterten. Decken und Tafelwerk aus dieser Zeit sind erhalten. Die Bellinghams verkauften das Anwesen Februar 1689 für 24.400 Pfund an Rittmeister James Grahme (Graham), den Schatzmeister von Jakob II. aus einem Geschlecht berüchtigter Räuberbarone. 1692 ließ Graham den Südflügel und ein Brauhaus errichten. 1833 gehörte das Herrenhaus dem Rittmeister Fulke-Greville Howard. Levens Hall ist Eigentum der Familie Bagot, seit Josceline Bagot (1854–1913) es von seiner kinderlosen Großtante Mary Abbot erbte. Garten 1694–1712 legte Guillaume Beaumont, der ehemalige Obergärtner von Jakob II., den Garten an. Er war auch an der Gestaltung des Hampton Court Palace beteiligt. Der Garten war viergeteilt, dieser Plan hat sich bis heute erhalten. Zahlreiche Bäume und Sträucher wurden geschneitelt und in kunstvolle Formen gebracht. Er verwendete vor allem Eiben, von denen 25 bis heute überlebt haben. Zwei der beschnittenen Bäume sind als „König und Dame“ bekannt, andere als Königin Elisabeth und ihre Hofdamen. Dazu kommen die „Richterperücke“ und der Howard-Löwe. Die meisten zeigen einfache geometrische Formen wie Kegel oder Würfel. Heute kommen neue Bäume in Formschnitt dazu. Die Künstlerin Julia Barton legte 2001 acht „Phytoforme“ an, in denen Metallgerüste mit Sukkulenten bepflanzt sind. Der Garten ist für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich. Auch Bagot-Ziegen und mehrere Dampfwagen von Foden, Fowler, Puritan und Sentinel sind zu sehen. Das Ha-Ha wurde aufgefüllt, um einen Parkplatz anzulegen. Literatur Guy Cooper, Gordon Taylor 2002.

Levens Hall

Levens Hall is a manor house in the Kent valley, near the village of Levens and 5 miles (9 km) south of Kendal in Cumbria, Northern England. History The first house on the site was a pele tower built by the Redman family in around 1350. Much of the present building dates from the Elizabethan era, when the Bellingham family extended the house. The Bellinghams, who were responsible for the fine panelling and plasterwork in the main rooms, sold the house and estate in 1689 to Colonel James Grahme, or Graham, Keeper of the Privy Purse to King James II. Grahme made a number of additions to the house in the late 17th century. His son Henry Graham was a knight of the shire for Westmorland. Further additions were made in the early 19th century. Levens is now owned by the Bagot family and is open to the public. The small collection of steam road vehicles includes several traction engines which are usually steamed on Sundays and Bank Holidays. In October 2021, the building was one of 142 sites across England to receive part of a £35-million injection into the government's Culture Recovery Fund. In the 1960s, Levens Hall was reportedly haunted by a Grey Lady. Gardens Levens has a celebrated and large topiary garden, which was first created by the French gardener Guillaume Beaumont, the gardener of King James II and the designer of the grounds at Hampton Court. Beaumont also planned the tree planting in the deer park, now inhabited by black fallow deer and Bagot goats. The park and gardens laid out by Beaumont between 1689 and 1712 have survived remarkably intact. They have been described as retaining "almost all of the essential elements of the completed scheme as shown on maps of the park and gardens of 1730". In December 2021 the gardens were featured in the BBC series Gardeners' World. In popular culture Levens Hall posed as Baskerville Hall for the 2002 BBC production of The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Levens Hall

Levens Hall è una storica residenza in stile elisabettiano del villaggio inglese di Levens, nella contea della Cumbria (Inghilterra nord-occidentale), realizzata nel corso del XVI secolo dalla famiglia Bellingham ed ampliata nel XVII secolo. L'edificio è classificato come palazzo di primo grado ed è di proprietà della famiglia Bagot. Storia In origine, si ergeva in loco una peel tower, realizzata nel XIII secolo o alla metà del XIV secolo dalla famiglia Redman come struttura difensiva contro i possibili attacchi degli Scozzesi. Nel 1562 la tenuta venne ceduta dalla famiglia Redman ad Alan Bellingham. La famiglia Bellinghma fece quindi realizzare attorno alla torre preesistente una casa di campagna con stanze decorate. Nel 1688 la residenza venne ceduta dalla famiglia Bellingham, caduta in rovina pare dopo una fallimentare partita di carte, al colonnello James Grahme. Quest'ultimo fece ampliare la struttura nel 1694, aggiungendovi all'interno un'ampia scala e all'esterno una casa per i domestici con annesso birrificio, ed incaricò Guillaume Beaumont, progettista dei giardini di Hampton Court, di realizzare dei giardini attorno al palazzo. L'edificio passò in seguito, attraverso un matrimonio, alla famiglia Howard e, nel 1783, dopo il matrimonio di Frances Howard, a Richard Bagot. Agli inizi del XIX secolo, venne aggiunta all'edificio una torre, progettata forse da Webster di Kendal. Architettura Esterni La facciata principale è a due piani. La residenza è circondata da giardini che rappresentano l'esempio più antico al mondo di ars topiaria. Nei giardini vi si trovano circa 30.000 piante da aiuola Interni Le stanze sono abbellitte da dipinti di Jan Brueghel il Vecchio, Peter Paul Rubens e Antoon Van Dyck e le mura sono rivestite in pelle proveniente da Córdoba. Negli interni si trovano inoltre dei cimeli di epoca napoleonica. Leggende Secondo la leggenda, all'interno di Levens Hall si aggirerebbero alcuni fantasmi. Tra questi figurano la "Dama grigia", che apparirebbe davanti alle auto che si avventurano nei paraggi, il fantasma di una signora con un cappello rosso che apparirebbe ai bambini, e il fantasma di un cane.

Hubbard's Hills

Hubbard's Hills is an area of natural beauty directly to the west of Louth, Lincolnshire, England and is popular for family picnics, school field trips and dog walking. The park is dedicated to the memory of Annie Pahud. Topographical geomorphology Hubbard's Hills is a glacial overspill channel formed as the last ice age ended about 40,000 years ago. A marginal lake of meltwater trapped between glacial ice sheet and the Lincolnshire Wolds poured over a chalk ridge and gouged a 125-foot-deep (38 m), steep-sided valley. The river Lud, far too small to create such a valley, now meanders through it. History Hubbard's Hills was donated to the town of Louth by the trustees of Auguste Alphonse Pahud, and opened to the public on 1 August 1907. Auguste Pahud, who was Swiss, moved to Louth in 1875 to take up duties as a German and French teacher at King Edward VI Grammar School. He married a local girl, Annie, daughter of William and Maria Grant. They were wealthy farmers living at the manor in Withern about six miles south east of Louth. Annie Pahud died in 1889 and Auguste never got over this, committing suicide in 1902. They were buried at Withern Church, but their gravestones were removed after it was declared redundant in July 1980. The church was sold as a private residence in 1983. Annie and Auguste's gravestones are still visible on the pathway beside what used to be the church. The trustees of Auguste Pahud bought Hubbard's Hills to honour his wish to create a memorial for Annie. They established an Edwardian pleasure garden with a lake, a country park and a memorial. The conveyance required "the natural beauty of the property and its rural character is to be forever maintained". Following initial discussions in 2008, on 1 April 2009, East Lindsey District Council passed the responsibility to maintain the park to Hubbard's Hills Trust Limited. The Hills will however still “belong” to the people of Louth and the Town Council will continue as official custodians. The Trust's role will be to deliver on a conservation plan to safeguard the next 100 years of the Hills, replanting trees, enhancing the chalk stream and dredging the ornamental lake. Volunteers assisted with clean-up efforts in August, 2009.

Hucclecote Meadows (grid reference SO872163) is a 5.74-hectare (14.2-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest divided into two areas on each side of the M5 road in the Severn Vale, Gloucestershire. It was notified in 1984. The western area is also a Local Nature Reserve. Location and use The site is on the outskirts of Gloucester City, and is made up of a series of lowland meadows overlying Lower Lias clays. They are one of the few remaining areas of herb rich ancient pastures in Gloucestershire. They have been traditionally managed for hay, and cattle and sheep grazing. Flora The species are abundant with variations from one meadow to the next. At the time of citation the meadows were reported as supporting some 75 meadow species, including some rarities such as corky-fruited water dropwort. The main grasses found are Yorkshire fog, meadow fescue, crested dog's-tail and meadow foxtail. The general meadow species found include great burnet, cowslip, devil's-bit scabious, saw-wort, lady's bedstraw and yellow rattle. The meadows are bordered by very old hedges of hawthorn and blackthorn, which include some hedgerow trees such as oak. Invertebrates The range of butterflies recorded includes meadow brown, marbled white, common blue, grizzled skipper and the small heath butterfly.
