Parque Grove, Sutton

The Grove Park, ou The Grove (em pt: Parque Grove), é um parque aberto em Carshalton, no bairro londrino de Sutton. Está situado perto de Carshalton Village, na área aproximadamente delimitada pela High Street, North Street e Mill Lane. O canto sudoeste do parque faz fronteira com um dos lagos de Carshalton (Lower Pond), de onde a água flui através do parque como o rio Wandle. História O terreno do parque fazia parte, na época medieval, da mansão de Stone Court, que na época consistia principalmente de prados. A mansão situava-se na esquina da North Street com a Mill Lane. A casa Tudor original foi reconstruída por volta de 1710; recentemente (2005), houve uma investigação arqueológica nas ruínas desta construção. No início do século XIX, uma nova casa chamada The Grove foi construída do outro lado do rio, em terreno mais alto, e é a casa grande vista hoje. As dependências restantes de Stone Court foram convertidas no que hoje são os escritórios do departamento de educação. O Grove, que inclui os jardins ornamentais, foi adquirido pelo Conselho Urbano do Distrito de Carshalton em 1924 e o parque foi inaugurado vários anos mais tarde. Características de interesse Ponte Leoni No encontro do Grove Park com o Lower Pond, há uma ponte de pedra branca de Portland. Às vezes, ela é chamada de Ponte Leoni, pois se supõe que o arquiteto veneziano Giacomo Leoni a tenha projetado. Leoni havia sido contratado para projetar uma nova mansão para o Carshalton Park no início do século XVIII, mas a mansão em si nunca foi construída. A Grove House A história inicial da casa é obscura, mas é mostrada em um mapa de 1847 e, portanto, precede esta data. O prédio agora abriga departamentos localizados no distrito de Sutton. Upper Mill É provável que um moinho de água tenha existido aqui desde os tempos anglo-saxões, apesar de grande parte da estrutura atual ser resultado de uma restauração recente (2004) realizada após um incêndio. A Cascata A cascata fica perto da passarela em direção ao canto Stone Court do parque. A queda de 1,5 m agora tem um design ornamental e foi reconstruída na década de 1960. A intenção inicial era estabelecer uma fonte de água para suprir Upper Mill, uma localidade próxima. Recreação A leste da Grove House, há áreas de recreação que se estendem até o Westcroft Leisure Centre. Há um playground infantil fechado, minigolfe, cafeteria, quadra, boliche e outras instalações de lazer. Transporte O parque fica a uma curta caminhada da estação ferroviária de Carshalton, virando à esquerda na saída. O parque também faz parte da rota dos ônibus 127 e 157 da Transport for London, desembarcando no ponto Carshalton Ponds. Veja também Sutton Carshalton Referências

Guards' Chapel, Wellington Barracks

The Royal Military Chapel, commonly known as the Guards' Chapel, is a British Army place of worship that serves as the religious home of the Household Division at the Wellington Barracks in Westminster, Greater London. Completed in 1838 in the style of a Greek temple and re-designed during the 1870s, the first chapel on the site was damaged by German bombing during the Blitz in 1940 and 1941. On Sunday, 18 June 1944, the chapel was hit again, this time by a V-1 flying bomb, during the morning service. The explosion of the bomb collapsed the concrete roof onto the congregation, which left 121 people killed and 141 injured (both military and civilian). Using the memorials from the old chapel as foundations, a new chapel was built in a Modernist style in 1963. In 1970 the building was made a Grade II* listed building. The Order of the Garter banner of Field marshal Harold Alexander, 1st Earl Alexander of Tunis was transferred from St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, to the Guards' Chapel following his death in 1969. Memorial garden The Flanders Fields Memorial Garden, dedicated to the memory of Guardsmen lost in the First World War, was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2014 and occupies land next to the chapel. Music In the 1970s an organ was installed by the firm of Hill, Norman and Beard using material from an instrument at Glyndebourne as well as new pipework. In addition to leading congregational singing, the organ accompanies the Chapel’s professional choir and works alongside military bands/ensembles. With the passing of time, it was decided that the organ was struggling to meet the demands placed on it, and in the 21st century the chapel commissioned a new organ from Harrison and Harrison. On the last Tuesday of each month, except in August, the chapel hosts a free 45-minute lunchtime concert featuring a wide variety of music.

Guards Club Island, also known as Bucks Ait or bucks' eyot is an island in the River Thames connected by footbridge to Maidenhead, Berkshire accommodating a pier adjoining the Sounding Arch part of the railway bridge which was built in 1838 to designs by Brunel. The thin small island is connected to Guards Club Park by a low cast-iron and wood footbridge which blocks the near channel (backwater) to boat navigation apart from kayaks. The island gets its alternative name from eel bucks from which the footbridge was adapted in 1865 to allow access to its Guards Club Boathouse (since demolished). The island is special status part of Guards Club Park (a public open space). Access to the island, a nesting site for water fowl, is restricted between December and June.

Guildford Golf Club

Guildford Golf Club is a private members' golf club in Merrow, near Guildford, England. The club was founded in 1886 and the course was opened in June 1887. The club is the oldest in Surrey. History Until 1870, the golf course was actually a race course. Laid out on land that was once part of the Onslow Estate, the club was founded by Colonel W. Bannatyne, Major W. Pontifex and Mr E.L. Hooper. The 4th Earl of Onslow gave his support to the project, and so became the President of the club. Originally, the course was just six holes in length, but by the early 1900s it had expanded to eighteen and the clubhouse was built. Clubhouse The clubhouse was built in 1901 and was officially reopened by Peter Alliss in 1998, following a refurbishment. The clubhouse looks out over the Downs, with attractive views of the 18th hole. The club website states that the clubhouse has been "widely acclaimed as one of the best in the South East of England". The course The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course set on the North Downs. It measures 6090 yards off the men's competition tees and has a par of 69. Being situated on chalk, it is seen as a good all-weather course. Often, there is a fairly strong wind across the Downs, significantly increasing the difficulty of the course.

Guildford High School

Guildford High School is a private day school for girls that was founded in 1888. Approximately 1,000 girls between ages 4 to 18 are attending the school from Guildford and its surrounding towns and villages. The school comprises a junior school, senior school and sixth form. History From the beginning, Guildford High School, founded by the Church Schools Company in 1888, was a progressive school. While some early girls' schools were designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of prospective governesses, Guildford High School sought to provide a feminine counterpart to the reformed public schools for boys. The current site on London Road was completed in 1893 and is still in use. During the post-World War II years, the school underwent rapid expansion. By the 1980s, student numbers had increased to over 600. Today the school has over 980 girls and is still part of the company (now known as the United Church Schools Trust). Campus The school possesses a sports centre separate from the main campus. This includes an indoor swimming pool, gym, sports hall, fitness suite and social area. The main campus consists of the Senior school, the sixth form house (Morton House), Nightingale Road House, and the Junior school. Harper House was bought and added to the premises, also enlarging the gardens, in August 2011. The garden of the original Nightingale Road House were converted into a social area when the site was acquired in 2006.

Guildford School of Acting

Guildford School of Acting (GSA) is a drama school in Guildford, Surrey, England. It is an academic school in the University of Surrey. It is a member of the Federation of Drama Schools. Overview The school is part of the University of Surrey and offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in acting, musical theatre, and production. In addition to undergraduate programmes, GSA also offers postgraduate programmes, including a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Acting, an MFA in Musical Theatre, and a Master of Arts (MA) in Theatre Practices. The university also hosts the National Resource Centre for Dance, established in 1982. History The school was founded as the Grant-Bellairs School of Dance and Drama in London in 1935. At the outbreak of World War II it relocated to Guildford. From 1945 to 2010 the school was housed in the former St Nicholas parish hall and working men's club at Millmead Terrace. In 1964, the school was renamed the Guildford School of Acting and Dance. In the 1990s, the word "Dance" was removed from the title, allegedly because former student Bill Nighy referred to it as the "Guildford School of Twirlies". In 2009 the school became part of the University of Surrey and in 2010 moved into new purpose-built accommodation next to the refurbished Ivy Arts Centre, formerly the sports centre, on the Stag Hill campus. Facilities The main school building has 15 dance and rehearsal studios, and 10 tutorial/practice rooms. The Ivy Arts centre houses the 190-seat Bellairs Theatre, named after Beatrice "Bice" Bellairs, one of the original co-founders, and the 80-seat Rex Doyle studio theatre named after the actor and GSA alumnus. In addition the Performing Arts Technology Studios building has a 128-seat theatre which can also be used. Alumni References External links GSA website
Guildford Synagogue

The Guildford Synagogue is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located on York Road, in Guildford, Surrey, England, in the United Kingdom. The congregation was established in the 1940s, initially as the Guildford United Synagogue Membership Group, however the congregation ceased to exist from 1947. Following World War II, the Guildford & District Jewish Community, who worship in the Ashkenazi rite, was formed; and their synagogue building was completed in 1979. Medieval synagogue Jews most likely arrived in Guildford during the 12th century. It is widely believed that they built a synagogue, c. 1180, in the High Street. There is a small plaque outside the shop to mark the spot. In 1995, during excavations at the site of the old synagogue, archaeologists led by Mary Alexander of the Guildford Museum found a chamber with steps down from street level. It was ornately decorated with pattern designs. In the east of the room is an alcove and a pillar where scorch marks demonstrate that a light was often burning in this place. The assumption is that the alcove is the Aron Kodesh (Holy Ark) and that the mark is left from a Ner Tamid (Everlasting Light). Being the only chamber of its kind in England, there has been much dispute over its use, but the most popular theory and all the evidence points towards the probability that Guildford has the oldest synagogue remains in the United Kingdom and one of the oldest in Western Europe. The modern synagogue, on York Road, contains a stone from the original synagogue, presented by Guildford Museum. The actual chamber is under concrete although both the owners of the site and local historians have expressed their regret at it not having a glass floor. Modern synagogue In 1979, having borrowed halls for years, land was bought and the community modified the building on the site to build its own synagogue. The Chief Rabbi, Immanuel Jakobovits, opened and consecrated the synagogue. To mark the occasion a plaque was laid by Theo Rubin who was the president of the community for many years. Sir Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi at the time, visited the synagogue in 2006. Surrey Multifaith Centre The University of Surrey announced plans in 2007 to build a multifaith centre on its Stag Hill Campus. The plan included a Jewish Common Room–Synagogue with a Sukkah and mikvah within the centre. The chaplaincy team at the University of Surrey are advocates of the centre which has won the backing of leading religious figures in the UK. The Jewish chaplain, rabbi Alexander Goldberg, has been an advocate for the centre within the Jewish community and beyond.

Guildhall, Chester

The Guildhall, formerly Holy Trinity Church, is a redundant church in Watergate in the city of Chester, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. The church closed in 1960, became known as the Guildhall, and was converted to be used for secular purposes. History The original building, which had a north aisle, probably dated from the late 12th century. The east end and south side were rebuilt in 1678. This church had a spire which was rebuilt in the 1770s but in 1811 was taken down for reasons of safety. The present church was built between 1865 and 1869 to a design by James Harrison. He died before it was finished and the church was completed by the firm of Kelly and Edwards of Chester. After the church deconsecrated in 1960, it was taken on by the Freemen and Guilds of the City of Chester in the late 1960s and converted into two halls, the Major Hall and the Lower Hall, for a variety of secular uses, including conferences, receptions, dances, and concerts. In October 2011 the Freemen and Guilds of the City of Chester handed responsibility for the building back to the local council but secured continued access for banquets and other important functions. A new members' bar, branded as "The Guild Chester", opened in the guildhall in October 2019. Architecture Exterior It is built in red sandstone with grey slate roofs. Its plan consists of a continuous nave and chancel with a clerestory, a west porch, a detached south spire and porch, and a vestry to the south. The tower has three stages with double doors to the east and above this a relief sculpture of Christ enthroned. The second stage has a lancet window and clock faces to the east and south. The third stage has two-light bell-openings, corner buttresses, a pierced parapet and a recessed octagonal stone spire with three lucarnes to each face. Interior Most of the fittings have been removed. The east window, dated 1885, is by Kempe, and depicts God and major Old Testament figures and saints. Now hidden by flooring is a memorial to John Whitmore who died in 1374. The former chancel screen and the reredos are also hidden. There is a burial vault under the building which dates back to when the church was built. See also Guild References
Guildhall, Bath

Guildhall is an 18th-century municipal building in central Bath, Somerset, England. It is a Grade I listed building. History The earliest mention of a guildhall here was in 1359, where it used to be the meeting place of the powerful trade guilds. The medieval guildhall (situated behind the modern building) was mentioned by Elizabeth Holland in 1602 as a timber-framed building with a tiled roof and stone floors strewn with rushes. This building was replaced by a Jacobean guildhall, on approximately the same site, in 1625. The building consisted of a council chamber and an armoury (where weapons were stored prior to the civil war) on the first floor. By the end of the 17th century, the room was used for social gatherings, concerts and plays. The building was considerably enlarged to a design by William Killigrew in 1725, and a series of specially commissioned paintings by Jan Baptist van Diest was subsequently put on display. The current Bath stone building, designed by Thomas Baldwin, was built between 1775 and 1778 and extended by John McKean Brydon in 1893. The central facade has four Ionic columns and the building is surmounted by the figure of Justice. The central dome and the north and south wings were added in 1893 and form a contiguous building with the Victoria Art Gallery, which was also built around the same time. The interior has a banqueting hall with engaged Corinthian columns, 18th-century chandeliers and royal portraits. The room is used on royal visits to the city: Queen Elizabeth II had lunch in the banqueting room in May 2002. The building now houses the council chamber for Bath and North East Somerset Council and the register office for Bath and North East Somerset; the building is also used as a wedding venue, and the record office also houses the Bath and North East Somerset Archives and Local Studies services. The Guildhall also serves as one of the venues for the Bath International Music Festival and other cultural events. It has been used for filming period dramas and miniseries such as The Trial of Christine Keeler (in 2019). The 19th-century archway at the rear of the building, on Orange Grove, is a Grade II listed structure. The archway connects the Guildhall to the Old Police Station. Bath Guildhall Market In 1552, a single-storey market house was built on the site of the medieval marketplace on High Street. This building was later demolished and combined with the Jacobean guildhall, completed in 1627. Bath Guildhall Market is behind the Guildhall, and can be accessed by its own entrance tunnel through the Guildhall. It has traded on its site for the last 800 years. About 20 stall holders trade there nowadays. The Guildhall Market suffered considerable damage in a fire on 25 April 1972.
