Crocker's Folly

Crocker's Folly is a Grade II* listed public house at 24 Aberdeen Place, St John's Wood, London. It was built in 1898, in a Northern Renaissance style, and was previously called The Crown. Geoff Brandwood and Jane Jephcote's guide to heritage pubs in London describes it as "a truly magnificent pub-cum-hotel" with "superb fittings", including extensive use of marble. The architect was Charles Worley. Interior The highlight is the "grand saloon" as it was originally known. There is an exceptional marble fireplace, as well as a marble-topped bar counter. Altogether 50 different types of marble are used, with paired marble Corinthian pilasters supporting the opulent part-gilded beamed ceiling, and even the chimney and the saloon walls are faced with marble. Frank Crocker In 1987, the pub's name was changed to Crocker's Folly, which had been its nickname for many years. The story was that Frank Crocker, believing he had a reliable tip-off about the site of the new terminus of the Great Central Railway, built the pub on a lavish scale to serve it, however when the terminus was actually built it turned out to be over half a mile away at Marylebone Station – leading to Crocker's ruin, despair and eventual suicide, jumping from the window of an upper floor. In reality, Crocker died in 1904, aged only 41, but of natural causes, although the subsequent landlord, Charles Durden, did kill himself in the way described. Every wall, window and ceiling was decorated in ornate style, with soaring pillars, wood panelling and elaborate stucco featuring gambolling cherubs. Its grand saloon used 50 types of marble to create a magnificent bar-top, archways, an enormous fireplace and soaring pillars, which in turn supported the opulent part-gilded beamed ceiling. Even the chimney and walls were faced with marble. Redevelopment The pub closed in autumn 2004 and in November 2011, Westminster City Council gave outline planning consent for the conversion of the three upper floors to residential use. It was noted that the building was on the English Heritage Buildings at Risk Register, and in need of urgent repair. In February 2014, London Drinker magazine reported that work had begun on the conversion of the upper floors to apartments and that the ground floor would be converted to a restaurant, perhaps with a bar. In 2014, it was acquired by Maroush, a group of Lebanese restaurants, and it reopened in October 2014 as a Lebanese restaurant and bar.

Eastbrook, Dagenham

The Eastbrook is a Grade II* listed public house at Dagenham Road, Dagenham, London. In listing it at Grade II*, Historic England note its "smart Neo-Georgian exterior with good detailing and materials; design quality: contrasting aesthetic in the Oak and Walnut Bars, which epitomises the pluralistic approach to design in the inter-war years, and nostalgia for 'Merrie England'; planning: an archetypal inter-war improved road house with a range of rooms for different functions and clientele; intactness: virtually unaltered, high-quality interior complete with walnut or oak panelling, glazed partitions, bars, seating, stained glass, and fireplaces; suburban landmark: the pub exemplifies inter-war arterial development." It is on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. Eastbrook is also a ward of the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. The population of the ward at the 2011 Census was 10,506. References

Fulwood Barracks

Fulwood Barracks is a military installation at Fulwood in Preston, Lancashire, England. History The barracks were built between 1842 and 1848 as a base, initially at least, for the 2nd Battalion 60th Rifles, following the chartist riots. In 1861, an incident took place when Private Patrick McCaffery shot both the Commanding Officer and the Adjutant of the base: he was hanged for the offence. In 1873, a system of recruiting areas based on counties was instituted under the Cardwell Reforms and the barracks became the depot for the 47th (Lancashire) Regiment of Foot and the 81st Regiment of Foot (Loyal Lincoln Volunteers). Following the Childers Reforms, the 47th and 81st Regiments amalgamated as the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment, with its depot at the barracks in 1881. The barracks also served as the depot of the East Lancashire Regiment from 1898, when the regiment re-located from Burnley Barracks, until 1939. The Loyal North Lancashire Regiment and the East Lancashire Regiment both returned to the barracks shortly after the Second World War. The barracks, which went on to become the regional centre for infantry training as the Lancastrian Brigade Depot in 1960, became the depot of the Queen's Lancashire Regiment in 1970 as well as Headquarters North West District in 1977 and the headquarters of 42 (North West) Brigade in 1991. The keep, and 15 other buildings and structures in the barracks, are Grade II listed buildings. The barracks was formerly Headquarters 42 (North West) Brigade, before it was disbanded in January 2017, being reduced in status to become the cadets-and-reservists Headquarters North West. It has been the Regimental Headquarters of the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment since its formation in 2006. The barracks was previously home to 3 Medical Regiment. On 28 February 2023, the regiment was disbanded as part of the Army 2020 and Future Soldier integrated reviews. A formal disbandment parade was conducted at Fulwood Barracks, concluding with the commanding officer’s of 22 & 34 Field Hospital accepting command of the regiment’s task-squadron’s as the regiment’s role 1 squadrons resubordinated to command of their new units to create the Army’s first regular ‘Multirole Medical Regiments’. 5 Armoured Medical Regiment then rebranded to become the new 3 Medical Regiment, remaining based at Catterick Garrison. Future In November 2016, the Ministry of Defence announced that the site would close in 2022; however this was later put back to 2032. Current units Current units stationed at the barracks include: British Army Regimental Headquarters, Duke of Lancaster's Regiment Community Cadet Forces Fulwood Detachment, Lancashire Army Cadet Force See also Kimberley Barracks (Army Reserve barracks located in Preston, just south of Fulwood) References
Goldsmiths' Hall

Goldsmiths' Hall is a Grade I listed building at the junction of Foster Lane and Gresham Street in the City of London. It has served as an assay office and the headquarters of London's goldsmith guild, the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, one of the livery companies of the City of London. The company has been based at this location since 1339, the present building being their third hall on the site. History Little is known about the first hall. It was rebuilt in 1407 by Drugo Barentyn, a goldsmith who served twice as Lord Mayor of London. The second hall was built circa 1634–36. In 1665, Samuel Pepys viewed the funeral of Sir Thomas Vyner from Goldsmiths' Hall. Pepys wore his best silk suit for the occasion, but the hall was so full of people that he left for Paternoster Square to order a new, ordinary silk suit. The hall was restored after the Great Fire of London in 1666 and eventually demolished in the late 1820s. The third and present hall was designed by Philip Hardwick, who commissioned sculptor Philip Nixon. Marble statues by Samuel Nixon of children representing the Four Seasons stand on pedestals on the lower flight of the grand staircase, which The Gentleman's Magazine described as “a work of the highest merit ... such beautiful personifications.” The hall is entirely detached and occupies an entire block. Despite its great size, it is the second largest livery hall after the Worshipful Company of Plaisterers' Plaisterers Hall at One London Wall. The Illustrated London News declared “’The Goldsmiths’ is the most magnificent of all the Halls of the City of London.” Those present at the opening dinner in 1835 included the Duke of Wellington and Robert Peel. In 1941 a bomb exploded in its southwest corner, but the building largely survived and was restored after the Second World War. From time to time, the Master and Wardens provide for open days to visit Goldsmiths' Hall. References Kenyon, Nicholas (2012). The City of London: A Companion Guide. London: Thames & Hudson.

Holy Trinity Church, Dalston

Holy Trinity Church, Dalston, also known as the Clowns’ Church, is a Church of England parish church in Beechwood Road in the London Borough of Hackney. It is in the parish of Holy Trinity with St Philip Dalston and All Saints Church, Haggerston (St Philip having been bombed during World War II and demolished some time between 1947 and 1952). From 1998 to 2014, the vicar was Rose Hudson-Wilkin, who held the roles of Speaker’s chaplain to the House of Commons, priest vicar at Westminster Abbey and chaplain to the Queen. History and design Holy Trinity was designed by Ewan Christian – a noted church builder and restorer and architect of the National Portrait Gallery. The main phase of construction took place in 1878-79 and was funded from the proceeds of the sale of St Martin Outwich in the City of London. It is a Grade II-listed building; its 1975 designation noted both the reputation of its architect and its impressive High Victorian style with continental influences. It is constructed in red brick in the Early English style and has a slate roof. Inside Holy Trinity is a screen brought from St Philip, Dalston after that church was damaged by bombing in December 1940. The post-war east window of the church has glass by A. F. Erridge. The Clowns' Church Holy Trinity is known as the Clowns’ Church for the annual Clowns International service held on the first Sunday in February in honour of Joseph Grimaldi and deceased clowns. The service was established in 1946/7 at St James's Episcopal Chapel in Pentonville Road, where Grimaldi is buried (now Joseph Grimaldi Park). It moved to Holy Trinity in 1959 after St James's was deconsecrated. The service is attended by clowns in full costume and is usually followed by a performance for members of the public. The vestry of Holy Trinity Church is home to the Clowns Gallery-Museum, which includes the Clown Egg Register. References External sources Clowns’ Service in pictures

Marston Bigot Park

Marston Bigot Park encompasses approximately 222 hectares (2,220,000 m2) and includes Marston House, Marston Pond and the remains of the medieval shrunken village of Lower Marston. It is in the village of Marston Bigot within the English county of Somerset, England. The house is a Grade II* listed building. History Several deserted medieval settlements are located within the park. The earliest description of Marston House is contained in a letter from Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork, in 1641, when he purchased the Manor from Sir John Hippisley. In 1714, Marston was inherited by Charles Boyle, 4th Earl of Orrery, who rebuilt it. The house later passed to John Boyle, 5th Earl of Cork, and successive generations, who each left their mark on the house and grounds, including Edmund Boyle, 7th Earl of Cork who added Marston Pond, a boathouse, and three gate lodges. However, late in the 19th century the house fell into disrepair and it was sold in 1905 to the Bonham-Christie family. The US Army used Marston House and its grounds during World War II, and John and Angela Yeoman of Foster Yeoman Ltd finally rescued the property from dereliction in 1984, using it as the company headquarters. Foster Yeoman put the house on the market in 2012 at a price of £6 million. The house was purchased by Timothy Sanderson, Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of Sanderson Asset Management. Architecture It is built of squared and coursed Doulting stone with a slate roof and balustraded parapet, located on a 180 metres (591 ft) long terrace with stone urns. The house is 130 metres (427 ft) long but generally only 20 metres (66 ft) deep, therefore presenting a massive facade when viewed from the park. In the three-storey central block of this front are four Ionic columns, which were built by Sir Jeffry Wyattville around 1817, with two-storey wings on either side, which were added in 1776 by Samuel Wyatt. Gardens The garden at Marston House is listed Grade II in the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England. Stephen Switzer laid out the gardens between 1724 and 1745. They cover an approximately rectangular area of approximately 8.5 hectares (85,000 m2). They include a rustic, rectangular-shaped, above-ground limestone grotto dating from 1743, north-east of the house near the Frome road, which was built by James Scott. Much of the 18th century lay out is now hidden by a lake which was created in the 1820s and 1830s, as part of a restyling in the style of Capability Brown, with advice from William Sawrey Gilpin. The lake is now used for private fishing. The farm includes a herd of 60 Hereford cattle. References
Maunsel House

Maunsel House in the English county of Somerset was built in the late 14th or early 15th century. The house stands south of the hamlet of North Newton, in the parish of North Petherton. It is the family seat of the Slade baronets and is a Grade II* listed building. History Local tradition asserts that Geoffrey Chaucer wrote part of The Canterbury Tales while staying at the house. Between 1648 and 1726 it was owned by the Bacon family who turned some the land, which had been part of Petherton Park, into gardens, orchards and a fish pond. It has been the family seat of the Slade baronets since 1772, when it was bought at auction for £3,000. Between 1772 and 1868 wings were added to the north and west of the original building. The county surveyor Richard Carver, a pupil of Sir Jeffrey Wyattville, carried out some work in Gothic taste about 1835. The house is now used as a wedding venue and for corporate events. To enable catering for large parties a commercial kitchen was built to fit in with the architecture of the rest of the building. In 2012 the house and the current owner Sir Benjamin Slade appeared in a television programme The Guest Wing. The house also featured in an episode of ITV's Party Wright Around the World presented by Mark Wright. Architecture The original building consisted of an east facing hall to which a three bay addition was made in the 15th century. The left and right hand blocks were added in the 16th and 18th centuries respectively. It is stone built with fishscale tile roofs. Estate The house stands in a 2000-acre estate and is approached via a tree-lined drive. The church of St Michael is within the grounds. One of the lodges by the driveway entrance, known as Dairy Mead Lodge, was built in the 18th century. The timber-framed granary in the farmyard at the back of the house was built in the 19th century. The range of stables and a coach house are from the 17th and 18th century. There are four self-catering holiday cottages. The Maunsel ponds within the estate are used as a match fishing venue for carp, tench and perch. References External links MaunselHouse
Museum Tavern

The Museum Tavern is a Grade II listed public house at 49 Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury, London. It was built from about 1855–64 by William Finch Hill and Edward Lewis Paraire. It traces its origins back to 1723. From 1723 to 1762 the pub was called the Dog and Duck (so called because duck hunting was popular in the ponds in the Long Fields behind Montagu House in the 17th and 18th centuries). It is a CAMRA Heritage Pub, with a Regionally Important historic interior. Unusually, it is a regular outlet for Theakston's Old Peculier on cask. Karl Marx was a notable regular to the pub as it was near the British Museum Reading Room, where he wrote Das Kapital. The pub is sometimes included as part of the Karl Marx pub crawl. References
Roehampton House

Roehampton House est une maison classée Grade I à Roehampton Lane, dans le quartier de Roehampton, à Londres. Histoire Elle a été construite entre 1710 et 1712 par l'architecte Thomas Archer. Archer a construit Roehampton House pour le compte du marchand Thomas Cary. Le père de Cary, John, émigra dans la colonie de Virginie en 1663, et Cary y naquit en 1669. Tous deux rentrèrent à Londres et en 1690, ils exerçaient des activités d’importation et d’exportation. De 1910 à 1913, Sir Edwin Lutyens apporta quelques modifications à la maison principale et ajouta des ailes nord et sud. Historic England note qu’il s’agissait "d’une continuation du style Archer et d’un plan proche de ses intentions initiales" et que "les parties Lutyens mériteraient en soi un grade II *". De 1915 à 1983, la maison a été occupée par l'hôpital Queen Mary. En 2010 Berkeley Group Holdings a commencé les travaux de conversion de la propriété en 24 appartements et maisons.
