St Laurence (Bradford-on-Avon)

St Laurence, auch St Laurence’s church und gelegentlich auch St Lawrence, ist eine kleine Kirche in der Ortschaft Bradford-on-Avon in der englischen Grafschaft Wiltshire. Das Gebäude ist eines der ganz wenigen, bei denen die angelsächsische Struktur aus der Erbauungszeit so gut wie unverändert erhalten ist. Ihr Patrozinium bezieht sich auf den hl. Laurentius von Rom. Baugeschichte Der Chronik Gesta regum anglorum des Wilhelm von Malmesbury kann entnommen werden, dass in Bradford-on-Avon etwa um das Jahr 700 eine ecclesiola gegründet wurde. Als Abt wird der hl. Aldhelm von Sherborne genannt. Obwohl die Identität dieser Erwähnung mit St Laurence nicht nachgewiesen ist, wurde doch erkannt, dass die Bauzeit des unteren Teils etwa um 700 liegt, eine Aufstockung wurde um 1000 vorgenommen. Der Bau geriet in Vergessenheit, er diente u. a. als Gärtnerwohnung, Armenschule und Beinhaus. Rund um den Bau wurden Häuser und Ställe ergänzt. Erst im 19. Jahrhundert wurde er wieder als angelsächsisch erkannt und renoviert, wobei die vorgenommenen Ergänzungen späterer Jahrhunderte entfernt wurden. Der Bau ist heute als Grade-I-Bauwerk gelistet. Baubeschreibung Die kleine Kirche besteht heute aus drei Bauteilen – ursprünglich waren es vier. Die beiden Hauptbestandteile sind das einschiffige Langhaus und der Chor auf der Ostseite. Dazu kommt der noch vorhandene Portikus auf der Nordseite. Der südliche ist nicht mehr vollständig, er ist das fehlende Bauteil. Die ursprüngliche Höhe des Südportikus kann noch an den Spuren der einstigen Bedachung erkannt werden. Alle Bauteile sind nur durch ungewöhnlich enge Portale verbunden, sie wirken fast voneinander isoliert. Das Äußere der Fassade wird von einem Blendbogenfries mit Pilastern und angedeuteten Mauerstreifen gegliedert, die gewisse Ähnlichkeiten mit anderen angelsächsischen Kirchen Englands haben. Große und entsprechend aufwändigere Kirchen aus der Zeit vor 1066 sind in England nicht erhalten. Im Inneren der Kirche fallen zunächst die ungewöhnlichen Proportionen auf. Langhaus und Chor sind sehr hoch ausgeführt, ihre Höhe liegt über der Länge der Bauteile. Auch im Inneren wurde auf Schmuck fast völlig verzichtet. Lediglich weit über dem Chorbogen sind zwei Engel angefügt. Sie können Überreste einer größeren Kreuzigungsgruppe gewesen sein. Eine ähnliche aus der Zeit findet sich in Romsey Abbey. Obwohl sehr einfach, gilt die Kirche doch als eine der bedeutendsten ihrer Art in England und als, wenn auch karges, Kleinod.

Chesham Arms

The Chesham Arms is a historic pub on Mehetabel Road, Homerton and in October 2014 became the London borough of Hackney's first Asset of Community Value. There was a lengthy battle to save the pub after it closed on 4 October 2012 and was sold to Mukund Patel who wanted to turn the building into flats. However Hackney Council gave the building the protected status of an Asset of Community Value which Patel unsuccessfully challenged in a tribunal hearing. Following a two-year legal battle by the Save The Chesham group, a lease to refurbish the pub was secured and it reopened in June 2015. Six months after reopening, 1600 members of the Campaign for Real Ale voted it the best pub in the City and East London Area. References
Christ Church, Nelson

Christ Church is a church and local ecumenical partnership in Nelson, Lancashire, England. It is situated on Carr Road in the town centre. The building has been shared by the Methodist Church of Great Britain and the Roman Catholic Church since 2004 – a rare example of an ecumenical union between Methodists and Roman Catholics. The Catholic congregation which meets in the church is the successor to the first mission in Nelson, dedicated to Saint Joseph, which used three successive church buildings. The Catholics began sharing a now-demolished building with the Methodists in 2001, construction of the Carr Road premises began in 2002, and it was opened on 6 June 2004 by Bishop Terence Brain. In 2019 a ceremony, attended by leaders from each denomination, was held to renew the "covenant" between the two traditions. The church is active and used for Methodist services and Catholic masses. The church building is constructed with a steel frame and concrete blocks, faced in local stone and with a slate roof. It has stained glass windows and banners with a bifurcate theme.

Das Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design ist eine Hochschule für Kunst und Design in London. Das College gehört zur University of the Arts London, die im Jahr 2004 den Status einer unabhängigen Universität erhalten hat. Die Anfänge der Hochschule liegen in der Arts-und-Crafts-Bewegung des 19. Jahrhunderts und damit in den Reformbewegungen der Kunstschulerziehung im Zeitalter von Industrialisierung und Imperialismus. Sie stellte auch eine Gegenbewegung zur Akademietradition der Royal Academy of Arts (gegründet 1768) im Vereinigten Königreich dar. In den 1960ern and 1970ern war St Martins eine der einflussreichsten Kunstschulen Englands mit Studenten wie Gilbert & George und Richard Long. Für viele Musiker aus dem Umfeld von Punk und New Wave war Saint Martins ein zentraler Treffpunkt. 1986 wurde die Hochschule in das neugegründete London Institute, ein Zusammenschluss von Kunsthochschulen, integriert und 1989 die Central School of Art & Design (gegründet 1896) mit der St Martin’s School of Art (gegründet 1854) verbunden. 1999 stieß das London Drama Center und 2003 die Byam Shaw School of Art hinzu. 2011 zog sie an den Granary Square in einem der größten Stadterneuerungsgebiete Londons nördlich des Zentrums hinter den beiden Bahnhöfen St. Pancras International und King’s Cross Station. 2014 verlor Central Saint Martins College den Zusatz „College of Arts and Design“ und wird mit CSM bezeichnet. Das College bietet Studiengänge im Bereich Kunst und Design an, in denen Bachelor und Master-Abschluss erreicht werden können. Dazu gehören die Fachbereiche Kunst, Mode, Kultur und Enterprise, Schmuck und Textil, Produkt, Keramik und Industriedesign, Kommunikationsdesign, Architektur, Drama und Performance. 2017 hatte es über 4.000 Studierende. Bekannte Modedesigner wie John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Gareth Pugh oder Stella McCartney studierten dort Modedesign waren erfolgreich als Designer bei Haute-Couture-Häusern wie Christian Dior angestellt.
