Franks Hall

Franks Hall in Horton Kirby, Kent, (grid reference TQ 555 677) is a large Elizabethan country house, completed in 1591. The Grade I listed building remains a private house. History A former manor house had been built on the opposite bank of the River Darent in 1220 by the Frankish family. When the Frankish family died out in the fifteenth century the property passed to the Martin family. The house was inherited by Lancelot Bathurst in the reign of Elizabeth I. Bathurst built the surviving building on a new site in 1591. Bathurst died in 1594, and the house passed to his son Randolph and then to his son Sir Edward Bathurst. The house passed to Sir Thomas Bathurst and on his death in 1688 passed to his son Francis Bathurst and then on the death of Francis in 1738 to his daughter Beronice. She died in 1748 and the house was left to her daughter Susan, and via her to her husband John Tasker, a solicitor from Dartford. The Taskers had no children. After Susan died, Tasker remarried and lived in Franks Hall until his death in 1796. The house passed to his wife, who lived in it until her death in 1814. At this date, the house passed to Tasker's niece, a Yorkshirewoman who took little interest in the property. In the 1850s, Franks Hall was sold to a farmer by the name of Nicholas Ray. Under Ray's ownership, the building was used as a barn, and it soon began to decay. Ray died in 1860 and in 1861 Robert Bradford became the owner. Bradford had the house rebuilt, and changed internally. In 1877, Franks Hall was put up for auction. It was withdrawn at £65,000 as the reserve of £75,000 had not been met. It was later sold by private treaty for £70,000 to Frederick Power. The estate at this time was 446 acres (180 ha) in extent. In 1883, the property was sold to Vavasour Earle. He built a picture gallery at the end of the lime avenue. This building was largely destroyed by incendiary bombs during the Second World War and only the walls remain now. Earle emigrated to United States in 1910, and the house was bought by Lord Bathurst, thus returning to the family 153 years after it was lost to the Bathursts. Lord Bathurst gave Franks Hall to his son Lord Apsley in 1923 as a wedding present. The Apsleys only lived in Franks Hall for a few months and it then stood empty for about ten years. It was sold to Morris Wheeler, a wealthy draper and property owner from Bexley. During the Second World War, Franks Hall was used as a maternity home. Wheeler died in 1962 and his widow lived in the house until her death in 1977. The house was purchased by Michael Berry, who lived in it until 1980 when it was sold to Findlay Publications Ltd who restored it for use as their headquarters. The estate by this time had been reduced to 88 acres (36 ha) in extent. The stable block was also purchased and converted to offices. The house has since been sold and has reverted to a private residence. References
Fulham Town Hall

Fulham Town Hall is a municipal building on Fulham Road, Fulham, London. It is a Grade II* listed building. History The building was commissioned by the Parish of St John to replace an existing vestry hall in Walham Green. The site chosen had previously been occupied by a property known as Elton Villa. In the villa's grounds there had been a mulberry tree, which had been planted by Nell Gwyn or her lover; it was chopped down and made into walking sticks in order to make way for the new vestry hall. The foundation stone for the new building was laid on 10 December 1888. It was designed by George Edwards in the classical style, constructed by Treasure & Son, and completed in 1890. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with seven bays facing onto Fulham Road; the central section of three bays featured an arched doorway with carved tympanum above flanked by windows; there were three windows each flanked by Ionic order columns on the first floor; there were three ocululi on the second floor and a lucarne with another oculus above. Internally, the principal room was a large public hall, often referred to as the Great Hall, which extended deep into the building on the first floor. An additional block was built to the south east of the main building with a council chamber on the ground floor and a concert hall on the first floor. After the Metropolitan Borough of Fulham was established in 1900, it was decided to extend the building to the south west along Harwood Road to the designs of Francis Wood, the borough engineer. The extension included a mayor's parlour on the ground floor and some committee rooms on the first floor; the enlarged complex was officially opened by the mayor, William Sayer, as the new Fulham Town Hall, on 3 November 1905. The new façade to Harwood Road included a large drum clock, manufactured by Potts of Leeds and mounted high above the entrance (the mechanism would be replaced by a Gents' Pulsynetic electric clock in 1933). A portrait of King George V by Richard Jack was hung in the council chamber in 1926. The building was extended again, this time to the west along Fulham Road, in 1934 to accommodate the local registrar's office. A large stained glass window, depicting Earconwald, who served as Bishop of London in the 7th century, was designed by Francis Spear and made by Lowndes & Drury; it installed at the head of the stairs leading to the Great Hall in the 1930s. The town hall continued to serve as the headquarters of the Metropolitan Borough of Fulham for much of the 20th century but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham was formed in 1965. It was subsequently used as an administration centre and events venue. In February 2019, the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham sold the building to a private developer, Ziser London, who announced plans to convert the facility into a hotel, restaurants, event space and spa.

Ayuntamiento de Fulham

El ayuntamiento de Fulham es un edificio municipal en Fulham Road, Fulham, Londres. Es un edificio catalogado de Grado II*. Historia El edificio fue encargado por la Parroquia de St John para reemplazar una sacristía existente en Walham Green.​​ El sitio elegido había sido ocupado anteriormente por una propiedad conocida como Elton Villa.​ En los terrenos de la villa había una morera, que había sido plantada por Nell Gwyn o su amante; fue talado y convertido en bastones para dar paso a la nueva sacristía.​ La primera piedra del nuevo edificio se colocó el 10 de diciembre de 1888.​ Fue diseñado por George Edwards en el estilo clásico, construido por Treasure & Son,​ y terminado en 1890. El diseño involucró una fachada principal simétrica con siete bahías que daban a Fulham Road; la sección central de tres bahías presentaba una entrada arqueada con un tímpano tallado arriba flanqueado por ventanas; había tres ventanas cada una flanqueada por columnas de orden jónico en el primer piso; había tres óculos en el segundo piso y un lucarne con otro óculo arriba.​ Internamente, la sala principal era un gran salón público, a menudo denominado Gran Salón, que se extendía profundamente en el edificio en el primer piso.​ Se construyó un bloque adicional al sureste del edificio principal con una sala del consejo en la planta baja y una sala de conciertos en el primer piso.​ Después de que se estableciera el distrito metropolitano de Fulham en 1900, se decidió extender el edificio hacia el suroeste a lo largo de Harwood Road según los diseños de Francis Wood, el ingeniero del distrito.​ La ampliación incluyó un salón de alcalde en la planta baja y algunas salas de comités en el primer piso; el complejo ampliado fue inaugurado oficialmente por el alcalde, William Sayer, como el nuevo ayuntamiento de Fulham, el 3 de noviembre de 1905.​ Un retrato del rey Jorge V de Richard Jack se colgó en la cámara del consejo en 1926.​ El edificio se amplió nuevamente, esta vez hacia el oeste a lo largo de Fulham Road, en 1934 para albergar la oficina de registro local.​ Una gran vidriera, que representa a Earconwald, quien se desempeñó como obispo de Londres en el siglo VII, fue diseñada por Francis Spear y realizada por Lowndes & Drury; se instaló en la cabecera de las escaleras que conducen al Gran Salón en la década de 1930.​ El ayuntamiento siguió sirviendo como sede del distrito metropolitano de Fulham durante gran parte del siglo XX, pero dejó de ser la sede del gobierno local cuando se formó el distrito londinense ampliado de Hammersmith y Fulham en 1965.​ Posteriormente se utilizó como centro de administración y lugar de eventos.​ En febrero de 2019, el distrito londinense de Hammersmith y Fulham vendió el edificio a un desarrollador privado, Ziser London, quien anunció planes para convertir las instalaciones en un hotel, restaurantes, espacio para eventos y spa.​​​ Referencias

Fulwood Hall

Fulwood Hall, (archaic: Fullwood Hall) is an English country house situated on Harrison Lane in the suburb of Fulwood in Sheffield, England. It is a Grade II listed building. The hall stands in a lofty position on the north side of the Mayfield Valley at a height of 270 metres (885 feet). The hall is referred to as Fullwood Hall on old maps and the gate to the hall uses this spelling with two Ls. History A hall existed on the site in the late 15th century, as it was mentioned in deed from the reign of Henry VII (1485 to 1509). The owners at that time were the Fox family who held considerable possessions throughout the township of Upper Hallam and Bradfield. Ulysses Fox, a yeoman farmer was the proprietor of the hall in the early 16th century along with his wife Elizabeth of Smallfield at Low Bradfield, they had a son William Fox who was baptised in Sheffield in December 1613. The hall was considerably altered in 1620 by Ulysses Fox, it has a date stone of 1620 and the exterior design is mainly of the 17th century. The Fox family continued to live at the hall until 1707 when George Fox is said to have squandered the estate by extravagant living and the hall was mortgaged to Nicholas Sylvester of Chapeltown. After 1707 the hall passed into the ownership of John Fox who does not appear to be connected with the previous Fox family in any way. Fox, a gentleman of Sheffield Park was a religious Dissenter, in 1714 he was granted a licence which allowed Fulwood Hall to be used as a Dissenters’ place of worship until the building of Fulwood Old Chapel in 1729 . John Fox was a generous man, he gave money to the Hollis’s hospital as well as for the setting up of a free school for 18 poor children from Fulwood and Hallam. The hall came into the possession of the Greaves family in the early part of the 19th century when it was purchased by George Bustard Greaves. The Greaves were a well established Hallamshire family and lived there for many years. In 1942 the hall was purchased by Morgan Fairest owner of the machinery manufacturers Morgan Fairest Ltd on Carlisle Street. In more recent times the hall has had a swimming pool and tennis court added in the grounds. Architecture The hall is typical architecturally of many large yeoman farmers houses in South Yorkshire with well proportioned mullioned windows with diamond-shaped leaded lights. The hall faces south-west away from the road and takes in the extensive view across the Mayfield valley towards the Peak District. It is built in the shape of a letter L from course squared locally quarried stone with ashlars dressings. The 1620 datestone is above the front door, the outbuildings run at a right angle to the main house and include a carriage house. The interior features two ground floor rooms with fielded panelling with a Tudor arched stone doorway and a stone fireplace with moulded lintel. References
Gad's Hill School

Gad's Hill School in Higham, Kent, England, is an independent school for day pupils, founded in 1924. It is set in the former Gads Hill Place, the country home of Charles Dickens. School history Gad's Hill School is set in the former home of the author Charles Dickens, who lived at Gad's Hill Place from 1856 until his death in 1870. In 1923, Mr John Burt was searching for a large family house with grounds and gardens suitable for conversion into a girls boarding school. In the same year, Colonel Latham – who owned the property after Dickens – died and the Burt family received the particulars of the sale. Mr Burt reported that the property seemed to be well suited for use as a school, with the advantage of extensive grounds suitable for sport. Having stood vacant for six months, Gad's Hill Place School was opened on 6 May 1924, with the stated intention of providing a high class school for the daughters of gentlemen, education on modern methods and preparation for public examinations. Miss Wilhelmina Burt, one of Mr Burt's four daughters, was the first headmistress, along with her sister and co-principal Edith. The school opened with four day pupils, joined at half-term by two boarders, and by the time that Miss Burt made her prize-giving speech at the end of the first year of Gad’s Hill, there were six boarders and fifteen day pupils. During the Second World War, in view of the proximity of Chatham and its Royal Navy Dockyard, it was thought necessary to seek a safer location for the school. At first, Miss Burt relocated lessons to Oxon Hoath, a fine estate to the north-east of Tonbridge. However, by June 1940, with the Germans in Paris and Chatham suffering its first air raid, it was decided to move the school again to a safer area. At 6.30 am on 25 June 1940, a small group of teachers and 19 girls travelled to the Lake District, where they arrived finally at the Tower Hotel in Portinscale. The hotel initially only had room for the adults and so the children were billeted to houses in the village. The school was based there for several years, while the Kent property was requisitioned by the Admiralty as a hostel for the Women's Royal Naval Service. Ninety-one Wrens slept in the building, while Dickens's tunnel under the Gravesend Road was fitted out as a gas-proof air raid shelter and first aid post. The school re-opened at Gad's Hill in December 1944, with 26 pupils enrolled, six of whom had been with them in the Lakes. In 2001, Gad's Hill School admitted boys throughout the school for the first time. In 2013, a new main building was opened, with a music suite, sports hall, theatre and dining facilities.

Garden House School

Garden House School is a co-educational day private school located in Chelsea in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London, England, consisting of two major preparatory schools, two pre-prep schools and a Kindergarten. The girls' and boys' are separately taught within the same building, but share a large variety of extra-curricular activities. Children are educated from the ages of three to eleven. Garden House School is reported to send a large proportion of its children to the leading boarding schools and London senior schools. The school also has locations in the US, in New York State: the suburban village of Briarcliff Manor and New York City. The schools' garden is within the historic grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, and occupies the Cavalry House, part of the Duke of York's Headquarters on Turks Row, which is a Grade II Listed Building. History Garden House School was founded in 1951 by a former ballerina and socialite, Margery de Brissac Bernard, (1896–1994), as a single pre-preparatory school. It was based in Sloane Gardens and Pont Street in Chelsea. During the following twenty years, the school educated the children and grand-children of diplomats and Prime Ministers including Winston Churchill and Alec Douglas-Home. In 1973, a parent and teaching assistant, Mrs Jillian Oddy, took over the school, expanding to include a Kindergarten and two major pre-prep and prep schools, and by creating two new pre-schools in the United States, one in New York City and another in Briarcliff Manor, New York. In 2004, the school moved into a single, purpose-designed building on the south side of the Duke of York's development. Boys and girls continued to be taught separately, but now shared the facilities of a single building. Academic record Besides the regular National Curriculum subjects, girls and boys are taught a wide range of subjects. They are educated separately, but participate together in a variety of extracurricular activities. The October 2024 ISI Inspection Report states "The broad and balanced curriculum provides a wide-ranging education that prepares pupils well for the future. Staff teach well-planned and engaging lessons. Pupils make good progress across a wide range of subjects and develop particularly advanced linguistic skills. Consequently, they are successful in gaining places at selective schools in London and further afield."
