Sizewell Hall

Sizewell Hall houses a Christian conference centre in Sizewell on the Suffolk coast, England. The estate is owned by the Ogilvie family. Back in the 1950s it housed a progressive school for 7–13s. It has historical connections with a classic taxidermy collection. The present Christian conference centre is run by Sizewell Hall Ltd, a registered charity. In 2007, 6,500 visitors stayed there, mainly local church groups from East Anglia, national bodies and a local youth organisation CYM from Ipswich. CYM has developed an activity holiday for schoolchildren in the African Village in the Hall grounds. History The Ogilvie family bought the estate in 1859, increased it to over 6,000 acres (24 km2) and enlarged the house. Mrs Margaret Ogilvie as a benefactress set up a research award (readership in ophthalmology) at Oxford University From this house not far from RSPB Minsmere, the ophthalmic surgeon Fergus Menteith Ogilvie (1861–1918) formed a large collection of British birds, which in partnership with the taxidermist Thomas Gunn of Norwich was mounted in cases with simulated habitats. The collection, now in Ipswich Museum, is seen as the best of its kind in Britain. Sizewell Hall was rebuilt after a fire in 1920. Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie developed nearby Thorpeness as a resort. The Ogilvie family moved out when the army commandeered the Hall during the Second World War. After the war, Sizewell Hall housed a boarding school run by a Dutch Quaker, Harry Tuyn. One of its pupils was Sheridan Morley. The school closed in 1955. It was a progressive, co-educational establishment (though not to be confused with the progressive Summerhill School at Leiston nearby). It has been claimed that pupils could study what they liked, if they liked, and that subjects such as Geography, Maths and Latin were not taught on the grounds that they were too boring. However, this has not been confirmed by other pupils or staff. Indeed, a copy of Kennedy's Latin Primer from Sizewell Hall School gave to Benjamin Britten and Myfanwy Piper the words for Miles's Latin Benedicite in Britten's opera The Turn of the Screw. In the 1960s the Hall served as quarters for Taylor Woodrow as the firm built Sizewell A nuclear power station. Sizewell Hall was used as a location for television adaptations of The Lost Prince and Lovejoy. The grounds today include a camp site, a children's park, tennis courts, a sports hall, a squash court and an activity course. External links Sizewell Hall Photographs of Sizewell Hall References

Skelton Hall

Skelton Hall is a Grade II listed building located in North Yorkshire, England. In 1814 Mrs Mary Thompson, the widow of Henry Thompson, came to live in Skelton at The Cottage from where she not only kept an eye on the repairs that she financed at the church, but also on the building of Skelton Lodge (later Hall) which is shown in an 1839 lithograph. The Lodge became The Hall in about 1867, and the Thompsons were succeeded as owners by the Thornton Duesberys. Gardens It is believed that the gardens were laid out at the time the house was constructed, and were designed by John Meikle, a student of Capability Brown. Certainly the hand of a master is in evidence, with magnificent plantings complementing sweeping lawns and a lake, now stocked with, among other specimens, carp and tench. Second World War and after The Hall later had a chequered history. During the Second World War it was requisitioned by the RAF, and after the war it was regarded as too large for contemporary living and was divided into two separate properties. In 1997 the individual owners of both wings decided independently to market their houses and as a result a single owner was found for The Hall, namely the Cooke family who undertook a refurbishment to reunite both wings of the property back into one property.

Skidby Windmill

Skidby Windmill is a Grade II* listed windmill at Skidby near Beverley, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Originally built in 1821, the mill was further extended to reach its current five-story height in 1870. Powered by four sails measuring 11 metres (36 feet) in length, it remained in commercial operation until 1966. Between 1954 and 1966, the mill transitioned to grinding animal feedstuff using newly installed electric rollers, while also continuing to stoneground flour. In 1969, the mill was sold to the local council for a mere £1. After undergoing renovation, it reopened in 1974 as a working museum. This historic site holds the distinction of being the last operational English windmill north of the Humber, specializing in the production of wholemeal flour sourced from locally grown wheat. Open to visitors throughout the week, milling activities occur from Wednesday to Sunday, weather permitting. Adjacent warehouses contain the Museum of East Riding Rural Life, featuring notable exhibits such as the 'Wolds Wagon' built by P. H. Sissons & Sons, which was originally lent to the Beverley Army Museum of transport. P. H. Sissons & Sons were based at Beswick and built wagons from 1854 onwards. In 2008, restoration efforts commenced on the mill, focusing on the replacement of certain structural elements within the cap and fantail. The work involved the 15 ton cap being removed by a crane; the only time that the cap has been removed since the 1870s. Further refurbishment started in late-2019, with the removal of the sails and fantail which were transported to Norfolk for restoration. In July 2020, roof and window repairs were to be undertaken followed by painting of the tower which would take three months to complete. The sails and fantail were to be returned to the mill in early 2021, but 2 of the sails had wet rot and had to be replaced with replicas.

Skipsea Castle

Skipsea Castle er en normannisk motte and bailey-fæstning nær landsbyen Skipsea East Riding of Yorkshire, England, der i dag står som borgbanke uden mure. Den blev opført omkring 1086 af Drogo de la Beuvrière, tilsyneladende oven på resterne af en høj fra jernalderen, og den blev brugt til at sikre det nyerobrede område mod invasion fra danerne og til at kontrollere handelsruten til Nordsøen. Motten og baileyen var adskilt af Skipsea Mere, der var en kunstig sø, som i middelalderen var forbundet til havet via en kanal, der var stor nok til at kunne sejle på. Landsbyen Skipsea voksede op ved siden af borgens kirker, og den befæstede by Skipsea Brough blev opført ved siden af borgen i 1160 for at udnytte den potentielle handel på stedet. I 1221 gjorde borgens ejer, William de Forz, greve af Aumale, oprør mod kong Henrik 3.; fæstningen blev erobret af kongens soldater og kongen beordrede at den skulle ødelægges. Resterne af borgen havde ringe værdi i slutningen af 1300-tallet, og Skipsea Brough formåede ikke at tiltrække mange indbyggere. Borgen forsvandt ud af statens kontrol i 1900-tallet, og der blev udført forskellige arkæologiske udgravninger mellem 1987 og 2001. I dag drives den af English Heritage og er åben for besøgende.

Skipton House

Skipton House is a high specification office building in Elephant and Castle, Central London. It was built for a Japanese bank and then sold on to accommodate staff of the Department of Health who were moved out of Alexander Fleming House. The project architect was Paul Cayford. Its address is 80 London Road SE1 6LH, next to the Bakerloo line entrance to Elephant & Castle tube station. It was opened by Virginia Bottomley, who was then Secretary of State for Health, on 15 February 1993. Its floor area is 250,000 sq ft (23,000 m2). From outside, the two outstanding characteristics are the dark brown marble cladding and the impressive entranceway. Inside, there is a large glass-topped central atrium, with the second to sixth floors having balconies. When the Information Centre for Health and Social Care was created on April 1, 2005, its London office was in Skipton House. It has since moved to Leeds, West Yorkshire. Furthermore, during 2005 substantial numbers of Department of Health staff were moved in from nearby Eileen House and Hannibal House where those leases had expired. In 2011 a further tranche of Department of Health staff were moved in from nearby New Kings Beam House. It is the headquarters of the NHS Counter Fraud Authority. Redevelopment plans Plans were approved in 2016 to demolish Skipton House as well as the adjacent hostel and London South Bank University Perry Library to make way for a mixed-use development designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill containing high-end flats, offices and restaurants. The plans were subsequently withdrawn due to a lack of agreement between the landowners and in 2019 a new planning application was submitted to re-clad and add six more storeys to the existing building. The application was referred back to Southwark London Borough Council by the Greater London Authority on the basis that it "does not comply with the London Plan and the draft London Plan". The GLA suggested possible remedies including contributing towards the cost of a new Elephant and Castle Northern line London Underground station, the developer submitted an updated plan to Southwark London Borough Council which approved it in November 2020 and the plans now await approval by the Mayor of London.

Skipton House

Skipton House est un immeuble de bureaux situé à Elephant and Castle dans le centre de Londres. Histoire Il a été construit pour une banque japonaise, puis vendu pour accueillir le personnel du ministère de la Santé qui avait été transféré de l'Alexander Fleming House. L'architecte du projet est Paul Cayford. Son adresse est 80 London Road SE1 6LH, à côté de l'entrée de la Bakerloo line de la station de métro Elephant & Castle. Il a été inauguré par Virginia Bottomley, alors Secrétaire d'État à la Santé, le 15 février 1993. Sa superficie est de 23 000 m2. Architecture De l'extérieur, les deux caractéristiques remarquables sont le revêtement en marbre brun foncé et l'impressionnante entrée. À l'intérieur, il y a un grand atrium central recouvert de verre, les deuxième au sixième étages ayant des balcons. Lorsque l'Information Centre for Health and Social Care (en) est créé le 1er avril 2005, son bureau londonien se trouve à Skipton House. Il a depuis déménagé à Leeds, dans le West Yorkshire. En outre, en 2005, un nombre important d'employés du ministère de la Santé a été transféré d'Eileen House et d'Hannibal House, situées à proximité, car leurs baux avaient expiré. En 2011, une nouvelle tranche de personnel du ministère de la Santé a été transférée de la New Kings Beam House, située à proximité. C'est aussi le siège de la NHS Counter Fraud Authority. Des plans ont été approuvés en 2016 pour démolir Skipton House ainsi que l'auberge adjacente et la bibliothèque Perry de l'Université de South Bank pour faire place à un développement à usage mixte conçu par Skidmore, Owings and Merrill contenant des appartements, des bureaux et des restaurants haut de gamme. Les plans ont ensuite été retirés en raison d'un manque d'accord entre les propriétaires fonciers et en 2019, une nouvelle demande de planification a été soumise pour recouvrir et ajouter six étages supplémentaires au bâtiment existant. La demande a été renvoyée au Southwark London Borough Council (en) par l'Autorité du Grand Londres au motif qu'elle « n'est pas conforme au Plan de Londres et au projet de Plan de Londres ». La GLA a suggéré des solutions possibles, notamment une contribution au coût d'une nouvelle station de métro de Londres sur la Elephant and Castle Northern line. Le promoteur a soumis un plan mis à jour au Southwark London Borough Council qui l'a approuvé en novembre 2020 et les plans attendent depuis (2024) l'approbation du Maire de Londres.

Basilika Unserer Lieben Frau von Walsingham

Die Basilika Unserer Lieben Frau von Walsingham (englisch Basilica of Our Lady of Walsingham), auch bekannt als Slipper Chapel oder die Kapelle der Heiligen Katharina von Alexandrien, ist eine römisch-katholische Kirche in Barsham, Norfolk, England. Das Baudenkmal trägt den Titel einer Basilica minor und eines katholischen Nationalheiligtums. Geschichte Beim Bau der Slipper-Kapelle 1340 war Walsingham nach Canterbury die zweitbedeutendste Pilgerfahrt in England. Sie bildete dabei die letzte Station vor Walsingham. Ab 1538, nach der englischen Reformation König Heinrich VIII., wurde die Kapelle nicht mehr genutzt und wurde zeitweise als Armenhaus, Schmiede, Kuhstall und Scheune genutzt. Im Jahr 1863 wurde die Kapelle von der ortsansässigen und wohlhabenden Charlotte Pearson Boyd (1837–1906) wiederentdeckt. Sie war zuvor zum Katholizismus konvertiert. Sie kaufte das Gebäude 1896 vom Bauernhofbesitzer, restaurierte es und schenkte es dann der Downside Abbey für den katholischen Gebrauch. Am 6. Februar 1897 wurde die Kapelle als Heiligtum wieder errichtet, um das Bild für die öffentliche Verehrung durch Papstreskript von Papst Leo XIII. zu genehmigen. Es wurde 1904 von Thomas Garner restauriert, wozu auch der neue Westgiebel mit seinen Fenstern gehört. Garner baute zugleich das denkmalgeschützte Pfarrhaus. Die Ausstattung wie Altar und Retabel erfolgte 1934 durch Lillian Dagless. Am Fest der Mariä Himmelfahrt, 15. August 1934, feierte der Bischof von Northampton, Laurence Youens, nach vierhundert Jahren die erste öffentliche Messe in der Slipper Chapel, und zwei Tage später leitete Kardinal Francis Bourne eine nationale Wallfahrt der katholischen Bischöfe Englands und Wales und mehr als 10.000 Menschen zum Heiligtum. Ab diesem Datum wurde es zum katholischen Nationalheiligtum. Die Slipperkapelle zeigt eine Steinstatue der Jungfrau Maria, die von Marcel Barbeau geschnitzt wurde. Die Statue wurde zum Papstbesuch nach Wembley gebracht, wo sie am 29. Mai 1982 von Papst Johannes Paul II. gesegnet wurde. Heute umfasst der Komplex um die Basilika eine 1982 errichtete Versöhnungskapelle, die bis zu 350 Personen für Gottesdienste beherbergen kann und bei größeren Zeremonien zum Wallfahrtsbereich hin geöffnet werden kann, sowie eine Buchhandlung und ein Teehaus. Würdigung Die Marienstatue der Unsere Liebe Frau von Walsingham wurde auf Veranlassung von Papst Pius XII. am 15. August 1954 durch seinen Nuntius Gerald Patrick O’Hara gekrönt. 1959 erhielt die Kapelle Denkmalschutz als Grade-I-Bauwerk. Papst Franziskus erhob die Kirche als Zentrum des Heiligtums am 27. Dezember 2015 in den Status einer Basilica minor. Weblinks Website der Wallfahrt Website der Gemeinde Einzelnachweise
Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Walsingham

La Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Walsingham​ (en inglés: Basilica of Our Lady of Walsingham) también conocida como la Capilla de Santa Catalina de Alejandría, es una basílica católica ubicada en Houghton St. Giles, Norfolk, Inglaterra en el Reino Unido. La iglesia está dedicada a Nuestra Señora de Walsingham, patrona de Inglaterra. Historia El santuario fue fundado en época medieval, concretamente en 1061, cuando la noble Ricarda de Faverches tuvo una visión en la que se le apareció la Virgen María y le pidió que construyera una réplica de su casa en Nazaret. Cuando se construyó la capilla, Walsingham estaba en segundo lugar solamente tras Canterbury en importancia en las peregrinaciones inglesas. La actual Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Walsingham fue construida en 1340, fue la última capilla en el Camino de peregrinos de Walsingham. En 1538, después de que el rey Enrique VIII inició la creación de la Iglesia anglicana, la capilla cayó en desuso y fue utilizada indistintamente como una casa, una fragua, un establo y un granero. En 1863, la capilla fue identificada por una mujer acomodada, Charlotte Pearson Boyd (1837-1906), una conversa al catolicismo del anglicanismo. Ella compró el edificio al dueño de la granja en 1896, la restauró y donó la capilla a la Abadía de Downside para el uso de los fieles católicos. El papa Pío XII concedió una coronación canónica a la venerada imagen de la Virgen María bajo el título de Nuestra Señora de Walsingham consagrada en la actualidad dentro de la capilla el 15 de agosto de 1954. El papa Francisco concedió al santuario el estatus de basílica menor por medio de un decreto apostólico el 27 de diciembre de 2015.​​ En la actualidad este santuario católico convive con otro anglicado situado junto a la basílica, el Santuario Anglicano de Nuestra Señora de Walsingham. Muchos peregrinos modernos se quitan los zapatos en la capilla de las zapatillas y caminan la última milla, llamada "Holy Mile", hasta Walsingham, descalzos. La Capilla Slipper contiene una estatua de piedra de la Virgen María tallada por Marcel Barbeau. La estatua fue llevada a Wembley para ser bendecida por el papa Juan Pablo II cuando visitó Inglaterra el 29 de mayo de 1982. Cada año, el 8 de septiembre, en la fiesta del nacimiento de Nuestra Señora, la estatua de Nuestra Señora de Walsingham es llevada durante varios kilómetros en una procesión que comienza en la Capilla de las Zapatillas (Slipper).
