Priory Cottages, Steventon

Priory Cottages (formerly Steventon Priory) is a 14th-century manor house and former monastic grange which had the status of a priory at Steventon in the English county of Oxfordshire (formerly Berkshire). King Henry I gave the manor of Steventon to the priory of Notre-Dame de Bonne-Nouvelle in Rouen, a cell of the Abbey of Bec in Normandy. It therefore became a cell of Bec and was given the status of a priory. However, a priory church and associated buildings were never built there. It always remained just a monastic grange, the building now called Priory Cottages, served by one or two monks. By the late 14th century, it was leased out to tenants. Later it belonged to Westminster Abbey. The building is constructed around a central courtyard and its mighty hammer-beam is of architectural interest. It is also said to have a priest’s bolthole in the chimney. In 1939 the cottages were endowed to the National Trust by a group of women philanthropists called Ferguson’s Gang. Ferguson’s Gang kept their identities secret and attracted publicity for the National Trust by delivering funds in spectacular ways. In July 1939 they invaded the National Trust’s AGM with what was reported to be ‘A Benificent Bomb’ but which was in fact a metal pineapple containing £100, which was their second down-payment for Priory Cottages. The five women of Ferguson’s Gang intended to use the cottages as their own living space but their plans were thwarted by the start of World War II, and the cottages are now tenanted privately. The public can visit the cottages by written appointment with the tenant. References

Прайори Лейн

«Прайори Лейн» (англ. Priory Lane) — футбольный стадион, расположенный в английском городе Истборн, графство Восточный Суссекс. Открыт в 1988 году, с этого же времени — домашнее поле местного клуба «Истборн Боро». На данный момент вмещает 4 151 зрителя. История арены Официальной датой открытия арены считается 1988 год, однако планы по строительству собственного стадиона представители руководства «Истборн Боро» рассматривали ещё с 1983 года, когда команда только что присоединилась к участникам любительской футбольной лиги графства. 15 сентября 1984 года на «Прайори Лейн» состоялся первый официальный матч, в котором хозяева обыграли соперников из «Ист — Престона» со счетом 1:0. Первым полем для «Истборн Боро» стало поле перед нынешним стадионом. В 1989 году на арене прошли работы по реконструкции, включавшие, в частности, установку дренажной системы для полива газона. В 1985 году на арене были установлены новые трибуны, значительно улучшившие обзор зрителям во время матчей. Главная трибуна арены была возведена в сезоне 1999/00. Помимо, собственно, футбольного поля, на «Прайори Лейн» имеется также крытый боулинг-центр, здание мультиспортивного фитнес-клуба, полигон для стрельбы из лука и высококлассные теннисные корты. В 2007 году клуб рисковал лишиться своей арены ввиду спора об арендной стоимости с властями города, однако разногласия в скором времени были улажены благодаря своевременному вмешательству официальных представителей Футбольной Ассоциации. Рекорд посещаемости стадиона был зарегистрирован в 2005 году, когда 3 770 поклонников «Истборна» пришли поддержать свою любимую команду в игре с клубом Лиги 2 «Оксфорд Юнайтед» в рамках первого раунда розыгрыша Кубка Англии (1:1). 12 октября 2008 года с «Прайори Лейн» впервые прошла прямая телетрансляция: была показана игра с клубом «Стивенидж». В марте 2016 года на поле был уложен искусственный газон. С 2017 года свои домашние игры на арене также проводит любительская команда «Лэнгни Уондерерс». Примечания
Priory Meadow Shopping Centre

Priory Meadow Shopping Centre is a shopping centre in Hastings, East Sussex, England. The centre was opened in 1997 by Queen Elizabeth II. The building was built on the site of the Central Recreation Ground, which had originally opened in 1864 and had since remained the main cricket venue in the town. This history is reflected by the statue in Queens Square of a batsman holding a pose having played a shot (The Spirit of Cricket by Allan Sly). The observant shopper will be able to spot the ball that this batsman has hit (it can be seen in the wall above F. Hinds jewellers). History The land on which the shopping centre now stands had been underwater before the 13th century, and was the original harbour for Hastings. A series of severe storms, silting and sea erosion forced the town to move to where the current old town is. The Priory Valley eventually silted up completely and the area became known as Priory Meadow and turned into farmland in 1536. In 1864 the Priory Marshes were levelled and drained and opened as a Cricket Ground, by 1932 one corner of the ground was leased by the Maidstone and District bus company to use as a coach station, then in 1958 a row of shops was built on one side of the ground with seating above. In 1982 Hastings Council voted for a shopping centre to be built on the cricket ground and to move cricket to Summerfields, now Horntye Park. In 1987, planning permission for 420,000sq.ft of space for shops was granted. Due to the onset of recession, developer Speyhawk pulled out. By May 1993, a new developer, Boots had been found and developed the existing shopping centre which was then sold to a private Irish investor and is managed by BTWShiells. A scheme of approx. 264,000sq ft now exists. In 1989 the ground hosted its last Sussex county game, when they beat Kent in front of a crowd of 1,000 people. On 16 January 2023, the shopping centre was closed after it was severely flooded, as well as the surrounding area. References External links Official website Plan and Details of Centre
Priory Park, Chichester

Priory Park is a public park in Chichester, West Sussex, England, operated by Chichester District Council. It is situated in the north-east quadrant of Chichester City centre. The park is bordered by the medieval city walls to the north and east which are built upon the original Roman foundations. The park contains Chichester Castle and the Guildhall. History Poet and artist William Blake was tried in the guildhall located in the park. The park has also played host to county cricket matches, holding its first first-class match in 1852 (before the park itself was established) when Sussex played an All England Eleven. In 1882 and 1886, the touring Australians played on the ground, although Sussex were not their opponents: they played Lord March's XI (owner of the nearby Goodwood Estate) and against a United Eleven. It was in the Australians' match against the United Eleven that the great W.G. Grace played on the ground. Having last played on the ground in 1852, Sussex returned there in 1906 playing a 1906 County Championship match against local rivals Hampshire. Sussex last played on the ground in 1950 against Glamorgan. In May 2017, two Roman town houses were found underneath the park using Ground penetrating radar equipment. One of the houses included a hot room and baths. Present Today the ground is used by Chichester Priory Park Cricket Club who play in the Sussex Cricket League Division Two. Chichester City Colts Under 9's football team play here too, it is also known as 'The Fortress'. Gallery References External links Priory Park Ground on CricketArchive
Priory Park, Haringey

Priory Park is a 6.5-hectare public park in Hornsey, in the London Borough of Haringey. It is located between Priory Road and Middle Lane, approximately 0.5 km north of Crouch End Broadway. The park is protected as a Fields in Trust Queen Elizabeth II Field. Priory Park is one of the most popular and frequently visited parks in Haringey. It has large open grassy spaces, an ornamental garden, tennis courts, Philosophers' Garden, paddling pool, café, playground, and large asphalt area for basket ball practice and junior cycling. It also has a Petanque (French Boules) court near the Pavilion. It has won multiple Green Flag Awards since 2003, and has an active community group, the Friends of Priory Park. The park contains a small wildlife pond hosting a sculpture called “the drop”, as well as a fountain made from Lamorna stone which was installed in 1909. This originally stood in St Paul's Cathedral churchyard. This year sees the 100th Anniversary of the park. History The park was created in two sections. Two parcels of land at the eastern and southern ends were purchased in 1891 by the Borough of Hornsey at the instigation of Henry Reader Williams and opened in 1896 as the Middle Lane Pleasure Grounds. In 1926 the western section was added after the acquisition of a piece of land known as Lewcock's Field. During World War 1 this had been requisitioned by the council for allotments. After the war an initial plan for the council to develop the field for housing was dropped on grounds of cost, and an expanded park was renamed Priory Park.

Priory Park, Warwick

Priory Park is an urban park located in the centre of Warwick, England. Originally the land was the grounds of a 12th-century priory dedicated to St Sepulchre and built in 1124 but this was closed down by King Henry VIII during the dissolution of the Monasteries. It was then destroyed and a residential home was built in 1566 by a man named Thomas Fisher known as Hawkins. In the 17th century, the estate was owned by Sir Thomas Puckering, 1st Baronet and his heirs, including Sir Henry Puckering, 3rd Baronet who was MP for Warwickshire and then the borough of Warwick. By 1850 the property had been taken over by the famous Warwickshire family, the Wises. During that year the Great Western Railway company were allowed to build an embankment to extend the line to Warwick station which was built in 1852 at the north-east of the estate. In 1926 Alexander W. Weddell, an American diplomat and his wife Virginia, a wealthy woman in her own right, purchased the property after seeing the advertisement that Priory House was to be demolished. They bought the house and shipped several thousand tons of the stones and other materials for the building of Virginia House, Richmond, Virginia in 1928. They signed the house to the Virginia Historical Society who still maintain it today. http://www.vahistorical.org/your-visit/virginia-house The estate now is owned and managed by Warwick District council and is a public park. (Part of the park is owned by Warwickshire County Council but managed by WDC) There is very little evidence of the previous buildings in existence. In 1958 and 1979 there were international scout gatherings at the park and a plaque by one of the paths commemorates this. The AMIKARO referred to on the plaque means Friendship in Esperanto. Seven trees were planted, although 3 of these have since died and replaced in 2012, to spell AMIKARO. In the 1970s Warwickshire County Council moved its record offices to the eastern part of the estate into a purpose built building. The public park area is composed of unimproved grass areas that are cut but not landscaped and there are many clumps of trees to explore. Until the late 1990s there was a small children's play area in the middle but this was removed. The nearest play area can be found a minute's walk north west from the park under the railway bridge in a smaller 5-acre (20,000 m2) park called Priory Pools. Because there are many burrows around the park European rabbits are a common sight, even to the casual observer. The total public area of the main park currently stands at 28.7 acres. Famous artists have visited the park; Canaletto in the 1740s and in 1809 John Constable made a sketch. A painting by a Pre-Raphaelite artist John Brett was auctioned in 2018. A free leaflet has been published which is both a nature and history walk around the Park and Priory Pools. Available at Warwick Tourist Information Centre, Jury Street, Warwick (with effect from February 2016) and also online. [1] References
Priory School, Isle of Wight

Priory School is a co-educational independent school in Whippingham, Isle of Wight. History The school was founded by Elizabeth Joan Goldthorpe in 1993 out of the closure of Upper Chine School with 14 primary aged pupils based in Shanklin. Later the position of Headteacher was taken over by her daughter, Katherine. The school grew to offer education up to GCSE Level. In 2009, the school was acquired by a parent, Edmund Matyjaszek BA (Oxon), whose family had been in education for generations. He expanded the school to A Levels in 2010. The school received Good Schools Guide Awards in 2010 and 2015 for Science education. In 2012, the school moved to the site of Queen Victoria's school at Whippingham, East Cowes, having acquired the freehold site from the local authority. Princess Beatrice visited the school on 16 June 2014 to unveil a plaque to commemorate 150 years of continuous education on the Whippingham site. In the Department of Education League Tables, published in February 2018, Priory School was ranked best on the Isle of Wight for A Levels, best on the Isle of Wight for GCSE English and Mathematics, and ranked 21st out of 4417 secondary schools in England for A Levels. Since 2019 the school has achieved 100% pass rates for GCSEs and A Levels. In 2023, it secured its first Oxbridge entrant at Jesus College, Oxford. In September 2017, to reflect the Christian ethos, the school name was extended to Priory School of Our Lady of Walsingham, with approval from the Bishop of Portsmouth, the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham and the Custodian of the Basilica at Walsingham. In May 2018 the school was rated as Good with Outstanding Features by Ofsted. In 2022, Priory School of Our Lady of Walsingham was accepted as a member of the Independent Schools Association. In 2023, on its first inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, it was deemed to be fully compliant in all areas of school life, the highest accolade possible. In January 2023, Mr David EJJ Lloyd joined the school as its new Principal, following nearly 13 years as Headmaster of Solihull School in the West Midlands. Mr Matyjaszek remains heavily involved in the life of the school as Proprietor and Bursar. Location Originally located in the Broadway, Sandown, the school moved to temporary accommodation at Landguard Manor, Shanklin, before relocating in 2005 to Alverstone Manor. Having sought a new building since coming under new ownership, the school purchased and moved into the former Whippingham Primary School, built by Queen Victoria in 1864 to the design of Prince Albert, in February 2012.

Procatedral de los Santos Apóstoles (Bristol)

La Procatedral de los Santos Apóstoles​ (en inglés: Pro-Cathedral of the Holy Apostles)​ fue la catedral católica en la ciudad de Bristol,​ Inglaterra entre 1850 y 1973. La pro-catedral fue sustituida en 1973 por la Iglesia Catedral de los santos Pedro y Pablo , también conocida como la catedral de Clifton. El trabajo comenzó en el edificio en 1834, pero se detuvo al año siguiente , cuando fracasaron las bases en lo que era un sitio de una ladera desafiante. Un segundo intento de reforzar las bases se hizo en 1843 , pero esta vez falló y el edificio yacía abandonado hasta 1848, cuando un techo fue colocado en el edificio a medio terminar para que pueda ser utilizado como una iglesia . Dos años más tarde, en 1850, se hizo de Clifton sede episcopal y la iglesia se convirtió en procatedral. En 1965 los arquitectos se encargaron de realizar el diseño de una nueva catedral en un sitio diferente en Clifton . La construcción comenzó en marzo de 1970 y terminó en mayo de 1973. Ese mismo año, el 29 de junio, en la fiesta de los Santos Pedro y Pablo, la nueva catedral fue consagrada y abierta y la pro-catedral fue cerrada.

Ashcroft Technology Academy

Die Ashcroft Technology Academy ist eine im Jahr 1991 unter dem Namen ADT College gegründete, allgemeinbildende Sekundarstufenschule im Londoner Stadtteil Putney für Schüler der Klassenstufen 7 bis 13. Im Jahr 2007 ist die Schule in Ashcroft Technology Academy umbenannt worden. Namensgeber ist der britische Ökonom und Politiker Michael Ashcroft, der auch schon Gründungssponsor des ADT College war. Gegründet wurde die Schule in der Schulform City Technology College, inzwischen ist sie jedoch wie viele der noch relativ jungen CTCs in die sehr ähnliche Organisationsform der Technology Academy übergegangen. In dieser wie in der alten Schulform finanzieren Wirtschaftsunternehmen (in diesem Fall ursprünglich der Elektronik- und Sicherheitskonzern ADT) einen Teil der Schulhaushalts und dürfen dafür aktiv an der Schulpolitik mitwirken. Das Fächerangebot umfasst zusätzlich zum nationalen Curriculum die Fächer Wirtschaft (Business/Technology), Informatik (Information Technology) und anfangs auch ein erweitertes Fremdsprachenangebot. Der Unterrichtsablauf und die Schulphilosophie sind sehr stark am Erwerbs- und Geschäftsleben orientiert. Trotz einer starken Leistungsorientierung ist die Ashcroft Technology Academy eine integrative Gesamtschule, die bei einem ständig hohen Bewerberüberhang feste Aufnahmequoten nach Geschlecht sowie sozialer und ethnischer Herkunft und einen festen Anteil an Schülern mit sonderpädagogischen Bedürfnissen ('special needs') berücksichtigt.

Prudential Assurance Building, Liverpool

The Prudential Assurance Building is a Grade II listed, Victorian Gothic revival style office building located on Dale Street in the centre of Liverpool, England. It was designed by local architect Alfred Waterhouse (also noted for the Natural History Museum and Manchester Town Hall) and was constructed in 1885–6. The building was commissioned by the country's leading insurance provider Prudential as its new regional offices in Liverpool. It was part of a series of buildings commissioned by the Prudential from Waterhouse, notably the firm's large headquarters in London, now known as Holborn Bars. Like the other Prudential commissions, the building is noted for its use of red architectural terracotta and brick. It has a tower which was added to the building by the architect's son Paul Waterhouse in 1905. Gold lettering above the first floor windows near the corner read Prudential Assurance Buildings, and Roman numerals at the same level on the corner bay commemorate the date of completion, 1886. Alongside the likes of Liverpool Town Hall, Bank of England Building, India Buildings, White Star Building and the Tower Buildings. The Prudential Assurance Building is amongst the most architecturally important buildings in the commercial district which is one of the six areas that constitute Liverpool's status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
