Mounts Baths

Mounts Baths is a public swimming baths in Northampton, England, built 1935—1936. It is notable for its Art Deco style. It is a Grade II listed building, listed on 28 January 2013. It is regarded by Historic England as "a particularly good example of a Modern Movement swimming pool", noting "especially the Art Deco hot rooms" of its Victorian-style Turkish bath, one of the last such baths still open in the British Isles. History Mounts Baths was built as part of a civic centre located on the site of a recently demolished prison. The civic centre also included a fire station with accommodation, and a police station and courts. The committee overseeing the construction was chaired by Councillor W. J. Bassett-Lowke. He was interested in Modernism; the interior of his home, 78 Derngate, was remodelled in Art Deco style. A competition to design the baths was won by J. C. Prestwich & Sons of Leigh, Lancashire. It was built by A. Glenn & Son of Northampton; Sir Alexander Gibb & Partners were the engineers. Construction began in 1935, and the building was opened in October 1936. Architecture The front of the building is faced with ashlared Bath stone. There are large tiered windows, in reinforced concrete frames, on the sides of the pool hall, and these are supported by eight parabolic arches of reinforced concrete. Historic England comments that the interior "resembles a cathedral nave flooded with light from the tiered clerestory". The dado around the pool hall is clad in stone-coloured faience, and the pool is clad in blue faience tiles. Doorways on the sides of the hall are framed with Vitrolite panels. Ivory and black ceramic tiles are used in other parts of the building. There was provision for an open-air pool, which was never built. In the 1970s a single-storey extension was added for a teaching pool. References
Silkstone Hall

Silkstone Hall is a historic building in Hinderwell, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The house was constructed for the artist Henry Silkstone Hopwood, to a design by Edgar Wood. It was completed in 1902, and was originally named "The Croft". After Hopwood's death in 1914, the building was occupied by the local Inspector of Mines. The building's architect was long forgotten, but was identified by the Edgar Wood Research Project in the 2010s, and as a result the house was grade II listed in 2015. Historic England describe it as an "exemplary example of Arts and Crafts architecture using local materials and vernacular forms". The house was designed by Edgar Wood in Arts and Crafts style. It is in sandstone with pantile roofs, stone coped gables and kneelers. There are three storeys including attics, and a compact plan, and all the fronts are asymmetric. Most of the windows are mullioned, and here are bay windows. At the entrance to the drive is a gateway, and at the northwest is a pedestrian entrance, both with wrought iron gates in Art Nouveau style. The gate piers have wrought iron finials. Inside, there is an entrance hall leading to a central staircase. The northern first floor bedroom is believed to have originally been an artist's studio, and retains a fireplace which is likely to be original. See also Listed buildings in Hinderwell References
St Matthew's Church, Grosmont

St Matthew's Church is the parish church of Grosmont, North Yorkshire, a village in England. The village grew up in the 18th and early 19th centuries, and in 1840 Robert Cary Elwes donated a site for the construction of a church. It was completed in 1842, but in 1875 was entirely rebuilt. The new church cost about £1,000, and was largely funded by Charles and Thomas Bagnall and Mary Clarke. The church was designed by Charles Noel-Armfield, and incorporates a roof designed on acoustic principles which he had discovered in some Italian churches. Between 2012 and 2013, the west end of the aisles were partitioned off to create a kitchen and toilets, following which, the church was grade II listed, along with the churchyard gateway. The church is built of sandstone with a Welsh slate roof. It consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, the south aisle extending to form an organ chamber, a north porch, and a chancel with a north vestry. On the vestry is a bellcote with two stages, a pyramidal roof, and a Celtic cross finial. Most of the windows are lancets, and at the west end is a rose window. The main gateway to the churchyard has carved gate piers with cross-gabled caps, and ornate wrought iron gates. Inside, there is a stone reredos with a mosaic Crucifixion scene, an aumbry and sedilia. There is an organ manufactured by Alfred Kirkland, assorted stained glass, a stone pulpit depicting Saint Matthew, and an altar designed by Robert Thomson. The font is believed to be late 11th century. See also Listed buildings in Grosmont, North Yorkshire References

Holy Trinity Church, Longlevens

Holy Trinity Church is a Grade II listed Church of England parish church in Longlevens, Gloucester. It was designed by Harold Stratton Davis and built in 1933–1934 in a fifteenth-century perpendicular Gothic style. It includes German and Dutch stained glass that was transferred from the Church of St Luke, High Orchard, Gloucester, after that church was demolished in 1934. History and design The church was designed by Harold Stratton Davis whose father had been curate-in-charge of Longlevens. It was built in 1933-1934 in a fifteenth-century Perpendicular Gothic style. It uses local materials such as Coleford red brick laid in Flemish bond, Guiting stone dressings, and Delabole slate (from Cornwall) for the roof. Local blacksmith Alfred Bucknell made the cast-iron rainwater heads and other ironwork. The font was a gift of the freemasons of Gloucester. The church was consecrated on 31 March 1934 and replaced a nineteenth-century corrugated iron mission church, known locally as the "tin tabernacle", which was located nearby. It is Grade II listed with Historic England who describe it as notable for its largely unaltered 1930s decorative scheme which uses fittings mostly designed by the architect that remain a "remarkably complete suite". The majority of the stained glass is not original to the church with much German or Dutch of the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries. It was a gift of the Reverend Samuel Lysons from the east window of the Church of St Luke, High Orchard, Gloucester, after that church was demolished in 1934. The east window to the chapel is by Molly Meager, 1989. There are two war memorial plaques at the west end.

St Nicholas' Chapel, Manor Park

St Nicholas' Chapel, Manor Park is a Roman Catholic church in Manor Park, East London. History It originated in 1870 as a chapel for St Nicholas's Catholic Industrial School for Boys, which occupied Manor House, previously home to the Quaker Fry family, best known for Elizabeth Fry. In 1918 St Nicholas became a parish church in its own right as well as a school chapel, when a new Manor Park parish was created. In 1924 it gained a chapel of its own, St Stephen's in Little Ilford - their status as parish church and chapel were reversed in 1934, with St Stephen's taking over as the parish church and the parish becoming known as that of St Stephen and St Nicholas. In 1925 the school closed, after which its site and buildings (other than the chapel and priests' house) were sold to the London Co-operative Society.

Masham Mechanics' Institute

Masham Mechanics' Institute is a historic building in Masham, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. The mechanics' institute was founded on 27 August 1848, with the intention of providing a reading room and library, and to hold a series of lectures. Thomas Riddell, the reverend of the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Masham, was appointed as the institute's president, and devoted considerable time to it. He died suddenly in 1855, and this inspired the construction of a permanent base for the institute. A building was constructed on Park Square, to a design by William Perkin, at a cost of £736. It opened on 3 November 1856, providing a reading room, lecture room, committee room, classrooms, and accommodation for the librarian. The ground floor was later converted into a bank, while the upper floor became a public library. Both closed in 2012, and the building was converted into holiday lets. The building was grade II listed in 2015. The building is constructed of limestone with sandstone dressings, on a plinth, with quoins, a floor band, a cornice on shaped consoles, a parapet with a central datestone, and a tile roof. There are two storeys, a front range of three bays and rear extensions. The central doorway has a segmental head and a cornice on paired consoles. The windows are paired sashes with aprons, those on the ground floor with segmental heads and keystones, and those on the upper floor with round heads. See also Listed buildings in Masham References
St Catherine's Church, West Drayton

St Catherine's Church or St Catherine of Alexandria Church is a Catholic parish church in West Drayton, Borough of Hillingdon, London. It was built from 1868 to 1869 and designed by Thomas John Willson and Samuel Joseph Nicholl. It is architecturally in the Gothic Revival style. It is situated on The Green near the town centre. On 12 May 2016, it was designated a Grade II listed building. It is the only Catholic Church that is a listed building by Historic England in the Borough of Hillingdon. History Foundation After the English Reformation, during the time of recusancy, until the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829, some Catholics in West Drayton, particularly the Paget family, descendants of William Paget, 1st Baron Paget, were recorded as papists by the authorities. Anne Paget (died 1587), William's wife, was suspected of hiding Anthony Tyrrell after he escaped from prison. In 1676 and 1706, no one wrote that they were Catholic in those years' censuses. For the rest of the 18th century, there were no recorded instances of Catholic public worship. The number of Catholics in West Drayton began to increase with the arrival of Irish migrants to work in the market-gardens situated around the village. In 1867, West Drayton had its own Catholic parish and a resident priest, Fr Michael Wren. The priest lived at White Cottage on Money Lane. In 1868, stables and an old coachhouse were turned into a temporary chapel. It could fit 400 people, and there was a space there for 80 schoolchildren too. The Catholic congregation used these temporary premises while the current church was being built. Construction On 26 October 1868 the foundation stone of the church was laid by the Archbishop of Westminster, Henry Manning. The architects were Thomas John Willson and Samuel Joseph Nicholl. The two of them had worked on other notable Catholic churches such as St Charles Borromeo Church, Westminster and St Alban and St Stephen's Church, St Albans. The church is in the Gothic Revival style and it opened on 29 September (Michaelmas) 1869 with Henry Manning preaching its first sermon. In 1886, a new high altar was installed in the church. In 1985, the organ was restored, the altar rails removed and the high altar was brought forward. That year, efforts were made to build a spire on top of the tower according to the original plan of the church. However, as not enough money was raised, a small concrete block was added to the top of the tower. Parish St Catherine's Catholic Primary School is to the west of the church. The church has four Sunday Masses at 7:00 pm on Saturday and at 9:00 am, 11:00 am and 6:00 pm on Sunday.

Garrison Church of St Alban the Martyr, Larkhill

The Garrison Church of St Alban the Martyr is a Church of England church in Larkhill, Wiltshire, England. History The garrison church, dedicated to St Alban the Martyr and St Barbara, was built in 1937 and replaced an earlier wooden church. The architect, as for the officers' mess, was William Ross; construction is in red brick, with a short southwest tower. In 2011 the church became the regimental church of the Royal Artillery. The regimental chapel at the Woolwich Barracks closed around the same time, and two stained glass windows were moved to the Larkhill church where they are displayed in lightboxes. One of these is by Christopher Whall, an Arts & Crafts artist. In 2015, as part of the 300th anniversary celebrations of the Royal Artillery, an additional memorial was created outside the existing structure. Designed to look like the surviving perimeter wall and chapel of St George's Garrison Church, Woolwich, the former Royal Artillery Garrison Chapel, it is painted in the Regimental colours of red and blue. The memorial houses some of the memorial plaques from the Woolwich chapel and a memorial to those members of the Royal Artillery who have been awarded the Victoria Cross. Planned to be completed in time for the 300th anniversary in May 2016, construction was delayed due to concerns over the impact of work close to the Stonehenge World Heritage Site. Instead, Her Majesty the Queen, the Royal Artillery Captain General, laid the cornerstone during her visit to Larkhill in May 2016 and the building was completed in time for the dedication ceremony at the annual St Barbara's Day Service (the Royal Artillery's Patron Saint) on 4 December 2016.

The Elite Church

The Elite Church, formerly the Church of St Martin and St Paul, is a church in Tipton, West Midlands, England. The church, built in 1837, is Grade II listed. History The church was built in 1837, during a time when the town was rapidly expanding. The architect was Robert Ebbles; its style is described in the listing text as Commissioners' Gothic. It was originally dedicated to St Paul, and was initially a chapel of ease for St Martin's Church in Lower Church Lane. The parish of St Paul was created for the church in 1843. St Martin's closed in 1986 (later converted for residential use) and the parishes of St Martin and St Paul merged. It was reported in 2018 that the Church of St Martin and St Paul, in the Diocese of Lichfield of the Church of England, would close, and the congregation would be moved to St Matthew's Church in Tipton. The building was purchased in November 2021 by The Elite Church, a registered charity. It is the charity's first permanent place of worship. Its original name was the CAC Royal Priesthood Centre; the change of name in June 2022 "serves as a symbol of our dedication to sharing the gospel, practising unconditional love, and upholding our values." Description It is built of red brick with stone dressings. Unusually, the building is aligned north-west to south-east, because of the shape of the available land. There is no burial ground. The tower, with a central doorway, is at the south-east; it has battlements, with crocketed finials at the corners. The nave has lancet windows, which externally have buttresses between them. Inside, the chancel is at the north-western end. There is a shallow chancel bay where there is a four-light window with tracery at the top. There is a stone Gothic font, given by a parishioner in 1870. In 1985 a false ceiling was fitted above the nave, to reduce the cost of heating, and two parish rooms were created to the rear of the nave.

Sowe Viaduct

The Sowe Viaduct is a railway bridge on the Birmingham Loop line crossing the River Sowe at the south-eastern edge of Coventry in central England. Built in 1838, it is a Grade II listed building. Description The bridge carries the Birmingham Loop railway line across the River Sowe, a tributary of the Avon. It is oriented roughly east to west and located between Coventry and Rugby, on the outskirts of the city. By road, it is just east of the A4082. It consists of one main arch flanked by three much smaller arches on each side. The bridge is built from red brick with stone dressings to the arches. The arches have substantial voussoirs. Within the piers supporting the ancillary arches, smaller arches are cut. The structure is decorated with vermiculation and string course with a cornice that runs the length of the bridge. The main arch is flanked by giant pilasters; similar pilasters mark both ends of the viaduct. The bridge has many patches of blue engineering brick, evidence of previous repairs. History The viaduct was built in 1838 by Robert Stephenson, chief engineer to the London and Birmingham Railway. It is still in use as part of the Birmingham Loop line. Much of the line was quadrupled in the 1960s but this work only went as far north as Rugby, meaning the Sowe Viaduct and other structures between Rugby and Coventry are in largely as-built condition. The Sowe Viaduct is one of several engineering works illustrated by John Cooke Bourne in his Series of Lithographic Drawings on the London and Birmingham Railway. It was designated a Grade II listed building in December 2015. It was listed for its age and its importance as a "skilful handling of the challenge of crossing the River Sowe", and for the involvement of Stephenson, "one of the most important transport engineers of the 19th century". Several other railway-related structures in Coventry were listed at the same time: (from east to west) the Sherbourne Viaduct, the portals of Humber Road Tunnel, and Mile Lane Bridge. References
