Abbott and Holder

Abbott and Holder is an art gallery and dealership in London, England, that specialises in low-price, 19th- and 20th-century English paintings, watercolours, drawings and prints. The gallery has been located at 30 Museum Street, London WC1, since 1987. The company was founded by and named after Robert Abbott, a former headmaster and a Quaker minister, and non-theist Quaker Eric Holder, an accountant and lifelong conscientious objector who joined the FAU during the Second World War. The pair first dealt art jointly in 1936 after meeting at the Friends' Meeting House, Tottenham, where Robert Abbott lived in a flat attached to the House (the original Tottenham FMH was demolished in 1961), with the first "List" published in 1942. In 1947, Robert Abbott and Eric Holder bought 73 Castelnau, SW13, from Frederick Tisdall on a seventeen-year lease. In 1957, the year before Eric Holder's youngest daughter Sally was born, the freehold of 73 was acquired. Robert retired on health grounds in 1959 and Eric bought Robert's share of business and Castelnau. In 1969, Anna Holder was listed on the company's letterhead and the family helped in running the business. Robert's nephew John Abbott (1937–2011), who had worked for the firm in the 1960s, became a partner in 1971. Eric Holder retired in 1981 and Philip Athill, an art history graduate and assistant at the gallery from 1979, eventually the company's Managing Director, became a partner in 1984. John Abbott retired in 2001. On 31 March 2021, Athill announced on the gallery's website that he had on his retirement passed the business to junior director Tom Edwards, thereby maintaining an unbroken line of successful partnership since 1936. Before moving to Museum Street, the gallery occupied part of a house at 73 Castelnau, Barnes, which had been Robert Abbott's home. The large Victorian property belonged to the Eric Holder family from 1959 to 1981, with "the business" occupying the basement and ground floor. As well as general sales, promoted with a monthly-updated "list", the gallery holds topical and artist-specific exhibitions, occasionally including living artists. In 1960, Eric Holder invited Reginald Gray to hold his first London solo exhibition at the gallery. In 1961, Gray painted Holder's portrait. The gallery's clients have included the UK Government Art Collection and Abbott and Holder's near neighbour, the British Museum. More than four hundred and fifty works on paper at the British Museum have come from them. Many other prominent institutions from around the world also have work that passed their hands, including the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Abbott and Holder are members of the British Antique Dealers' Association. References Further reading "Eric Holder (obituary)". The Times. 3 February 2007.

Light House (London)

The Light House is a private house in London that won a 2006 RIBA Award and was also short-listed for the 2006 Manser Medal for Architecture.

The house has been called "one of the finest new city homes to be found anywhere in the world" and has been the location for celebrity and fashion shoots. Site and brief The site was a backland development surrounded by buildings on all sides. After studying the fall of light throughout the year on the site, the decision was made to build a courtyard-style house where wide open spaces and courtyards make the most of natural light while maximising privacy.

Grisedale Tarn

Grisedale Tarn is a tarn in the Lake District of England between Fairfield and Dollywagon Pike. It is the legendary resting place of the crown of the kingdom of Cumbria, after the crown was conveyed there in 945 by soldiers of the last king, Dunmail, after he was slain in battle with the combined forces of the English and Scottish kings. Grisedale Tarn is 538 metres (1,765 ft) in altitude and has a maximum depth of around 33 metres (108 ft). It holds brown trout, perch and eels. The outflow is to Ullswater to the north-east, picking up all of the rainfall from the eastern face of Dollywagon Pike. The Tarn is the subject of a poem by the Rev. Frederick William Faber printed in 1840. See also Grizedale Grizedale Forest Brothers Parting Stone References
Benfield Hill

Benfield Hill is an 11.8-hectare (29-acre) Local Nature Reserve (LNR) on the northern outskirts of Hove in East Sussex and is within the boundaries of the South Downs National Park. It is owned and managed by Brighton and Hove City Council. Geography The site lies between Brighton and Hove to the South and the Downs escarpment to the North. The Benfield Hill ridgeline itself runs between two dry valleys in the Upper and Middle Chalk. Wildlife of interest in the area include Glow-worms, Small Blue butterfly, Field fleawort and many other chalk grassland specialists. Two public rights of way run through the site: a public footpath crosses north-south over the brow and a bridleway runs along the bottom east slope. History Like the rest of the South Downs, Benfield Hill was used for sheep farming for 6000 years. The result was the creation of a hugely biodiverse chalk grassland, which biologist call a rainforest in miniature because of the forty or so different flowers that can be found in a square metre. Unfortunately, since the second world war most areas of the Downs are now intensively farmed and the rich wildlife these areas once supported has now gone. However, unlike other areas, the rich, grazed, biodiverse chalk grassland of Benfield Hill has been maintained by the Benfield Wildlife and Conservation group, which was set up in 1991. Benfield Hill was designated as a Local Nature Reserve in 1993 as a result of their work and because the area has not been ploughed, fertilised or had pesticides added like the surrounding fields. The small area is one of only a few surviving remnants of pristine chalk grassland on the South Downs, despite the Downs geography, history and designation as National Park. Benfield Hill was designated a Local Nature Reserve in 1993. Other designated chalk grassland LNR around Brighton and Hove include Beacon Hill, Bevendean Down, Ladies Mile and Whitehawk Hill. Designated chalk grassland Sites of Special Scientific Interest in and around Brighton and Hove include the steep slopes of Clayton to Upper Beeding Escarpment, Beeding Hill to Newtimber Hiil and Castle Hill. Conservation Members of the active Benfield Wildlife and Conservation Group run activities on the Reserve each year such as guided walks and picnics. There is a good working relationship with all the tenants of Benfield Valley and West Hove golf clubs. This relationship has allowed the shared grazing of the reserve and parts of the golf courses. Immediately to south of the A27 is a Local Wildlife Site known as Benfield Valley. It is an important corridor for nature and recreation within the Brighton and Hove metropolis. It has been threatened by planning proposals for housing, which the locals have successfully contested.

Jenkin Chapel

Jenkin Chapel, stands in an isolated position on the western slopes of the Pennines, 4.3 miles (7 km) northeast of Macclesfield, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. The chapel lies at the junction of three ancient trackways, known as "salters' ways" because they were used by packhorses carrying salt. Later the tracks were used by cattle drovers and sheep dealers. It is an Anglican chapel in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Macclesfield and the deanery of Macclesfield. Its benefice is combined with those of Holy Trinity, Rainow and Forest Chapel, Macclesfield Forest. History The chapel was built using local materials in 1733 by local people who also raised money to pay for a minister. A tower was added in 1755. Architecture The appearance of the chapel is more that of a Georgian farmhouse with a chimney stack than a church. It consists of a two-storey nave, a one-storey chapel and vestry, and a three-stage tower with a saddleback roof. The tower has an external staircase, a bell chamber and a porch with stone benches. A chimney rises from the middle of the south wall. The windows are Georgian in style, with sashes and small panes of glass. Inside the chapel are box pews, an octagonal pulpit and a carved reading desk. The chancel is panelled and divided from the nave by rails consisting of turned balusters. Hanging from a lintel at the entrance to the chancel are similar balusters forming an arch. In the chancel is a small stone font with an oak cover. At the west end is a gallery on which is the coat of arms of the Stopford family who lived in nearby Saltersford Hall (itself a Grade II listed building) in the 17th century. On the floor are grave slabs relating to the Turner family who were later residents of the hall. Chapel registers date from 1770. Name There is disagreement about the origin of the name "Jenkin". One theory is that the junction was the trading site for a man called Jenkin, from Ruthin, North Wales. The track-marking stone at this point was known as "Jenkin Cross". Other theories are that Jenkin was the name of a local farming family, or that it was the name of a "fiery Welsh preacher" who preached at the horse fair held here. The chapel features in Alan Garner's 2003 novel Thursbitch. Current use The church is open all year round. Evensong is at 3pm on the third Sunday of the month between Easter and Christmas as well as special services, including Carols by Candlelight in December and the Big Sing in Summer. The church featured in an episode of Hunted, shown on Channel 4 on 4 January 2018.

Hastings Contemporary

The Hastings Contemporary is a museum of contemporary British art located on The Stade in Hastings, East Sussex and is a not-for-profit organisation. The gallery opened in March 2012 as the Jerwood Gallery and cost £4m to build. The gallery contains temporary exhibitions that included work from artists including L. S. Lowry, Augustus John, Stanley Spencer, Walter Sickert, Ben Nicholson, Patrick Caulfield, Maggi Hambling, Craigie Aitchison and Prunella Clough. Architecture The building was designed by Hana Loftus and Tom Grieve (son of Alan Grieve, the chairman of the Jerwood Foundation) from the architecture firm HAT Projects. The outside of the gallery building is covered with over 8,000 black tiles that were glazed in Kent. In The Observer, the architecture critic Rowan Moore says that the Jerwood building "is not embarrassed by the stuff and clobber around it, and does not embarrass them". Moore concludes that the building is "a simple and straightforward place for viewing art". Wallpaper described the gallery as "a perfectly formed, modest space, that doesn't try too hard". The building was given a National Award in 2013 by the Royal Institute of British Architects. Exhibitions The following artists have had exhibitions at Hastings Contemporary: Rose Wylie Gary Hume Gillian Ayres William Scott Philip Guston Basil Beattie Marlow Moss Christopher Wood Alfred Wallis Ansel Krut Quentin Blake Chantal Joffe The gallery has also been a venue for an exhibition of art works from the Jerwood Drawing Prize in 2012. Controversy and opposition The building of the gallery led to protests from local residents fearing that it would lead to gentrification of the surrounding area. In 2008, the Hastings Bonfire Society burned a model of the gallery in effigy. Keith Leech from the bonfire society said that the gallery represented "a long string of things that people are trying to foist upon us". As the gallery replaced a coach park, opponents of the development believed it would reduce the amount of business from coach trip parties, while others believe it should have been located elsewhere in the town. Posters and banners opposing the development have been displayed nearby. Local residents pay a reduced rate to enter the gallery. Renaming In Summer 2019 the Jerwood Gallery cut ties with the Jerwood Foundation amid a funding dispute. As part of its separation, the gallery rebranded to be called Hastings Contemporary, though the building remained in the ownership of the Jerwood Foundation. In Spring 2023, the head lease of the gallery was gifted to Hastings Borough Council by the Jerwood Foundation (Hastings Council had always owned the freehold). Hastings Council subsequently granted a 99-year lease of the building to the Hastings Contemporary charitable trust, which now runs the gallery. The independent charity Hastings Contemporary is an Arts Council NPO receiving £100,000 per year grant from Arts Council England.
